“I can’t wait to see everyone! And of course, I’m excited for everyone to meet our little girl,” Allison says over the phone. I’m currently sitting in my mate’s lap in his office while we make our final plans to go see Kayce and Allison.

We decided to have our next Alpha/Luna meeting there since Allison is the most recent addition of the new mother’s club. Nikki’s about a month behind her and the twins are behind that. Of course, I’m excited to catch up with the twins and find out what happened when they went to their old pack. They were gone for a couple of weeks and according to both Amelia and Lucas, Dutton warned them of a pending attack. I hope that he and the twins will still be able to make it to the Alpha meeting.

“Lucas and Kinsley are coming by here tonight and we’re all driving together tomorrow,” I tell her.

“Hunter, it goes without saying, but I’m saying it anyway, you make sure your son keeps his hands off my daughter. Lwon’t hesitate to rip those hands off if he touches her,” Kayce grumbles, already so protective of his baby girl.

“Kayyyce, they’re just babies,” Allison says, trying to soothe her

mate.

“I know how Alpha males think, Alli. I am one. And when I was a

teenager…well, Hunter knows, that’s why I’m warning him to keep his son away from my daughter.”

“I don’t know, Kayce. Your daughter may act like an Alpha. Perhaps I should be warning you to make sure your daughter keeps her hands off my son,” Hunter teases, and I shake my head.

Kayce growls, cutting off almost instantly when we hear the sound of a baby crying. We hear shuffling on the phone and then hear Kayce cooing to his daughter.

“Sorry, baby girl. Daddy has to warn off all the bad boys who may try to get in your pants when you get older. Trust me baby, it’s better to start when you’re young.”

Her crying settles and we hear Allison huff. “Uh, just a few days old and she’s already such a daddy’s girl,” Allison says. “You’d think he birthed her and fed her every couple of hours.”

“I would if I could, wouldn’t I baby?” Kayce coos at his daughter.

“Are you going to be like that when we have a daughter?” I ask Hunter.

“Probably. Especially if she’s anything like her mother. She’ll have me wrapped around her finger in no time.”

“One second,” Kayce says. “That’s all it takes Hunter. They look at you with those trusting eyes and it’s all over. Just pack it in and get ready to start writing bad checks so you can give her whatever she wants.”

“Ugh, Sophie, if you ever have a girl, be prepared to be the strong parent. If Hunter is anything like Kayce…”

“I will be,” Hunter says at the same time that Kayce says, “He will be.”

“Right…then just know that you’re going to have to be the bad parent, Sophie.”

“Allison, what you need to do is have a boy. Then you can have a mommy’s boy and Kayce can get a dose of his own medicine,” I tell her, smiling at Hunter.

“Trust me when I tell you, you won’t like your own medicine, Kayce. Hunt adores his mother and I’m just that guy that gets him out of the crib in the morning and hands him off to the love of his life,” Hunter says, making Allison laugh.

We get a mind link from the patrols that Lucas and Kinsley have arrived.

“Hey, we’ve got to go. We’ll see you tomorrow morning,” I say.

“Hey, Hunter, before you go, remind me tomorrow that we need to talk about Aiden. Robin says something is going on over in his pack and he’s getting nervous. I want to talk about putting some scouts around his pack lands. Maybe you and Jake can help with that since you two are the next closest packs. He and Nikki are arriving tonight, and I intend to talk to him more about his concerns, but I want to make sure it’s not overlooked with everything else going on,” Kayce says.

“Sounds good. See you tomorrow” Hunter says, and we hang up, going to greet Lucas and Kinsley.

The rest of the evening is fantastic. It’s so great having our previous Betas here and we get caught up on everything that is happening in their pack, including what great Betas Brutus and

Leah are and how Beth basically whipped every warrior’s a**** to prove that she was worthy of being their Gamma. Jaime just smiled, obviously not surprised that his sister is a tough and worthy Gamma.

I finally get to meet Lucian, Lucas and Kinsley’s son and we put him and Huntington together watching as they try to roll towards each other.

“So, what’s the plan for this Alpha meeting?” Lucas asks.

“We need to talk about the remaining open packs. I’d like to hear from Jake about how his pack members are settling in as well as you and yours. We need to get an update from Ezra on Zahn’s pack members. We need an update from Dutton on how things went at the twins’ old pack…

”

“Not good, since he’s planning for an attack. I’m not sure he’s actually coming to the meeting.”

“What about Calvin?” Hunter asks.

“I’m not sure, but he’s been spending a lot of time at Amelia’s pack lately, so I’m not sure what to think of that.”

“Hunter don’t forget to tell them about Aiden,” I remind him as Kinsley and I watch our sons.

“Oh, right. Kayce said something about Aiden being up to something, but he wasn’t sure what it was. He’s going to talk to Robin tonight since he and Nikki are arriving early.”

“What’s Aiden up to?” Lucas asks.

“Not sure, but hopefully we’ll find out tomorrow,” Hunter says.

“Do we know if Camden and Koden are still in his pack?” Lucas asks.

“As far as I know, they are,” Hunter says.

“And we, the Lunas, need to talk about our community area,” I say to Kinsley.

“I’m so excited to get working on that,” she says.

That night, when Hunter and I get into bed, my mate makes love to me, like he does nearly every night. When I’m snuggled against his body, I feel him kiss the top of my head.

“When are you going to tell me the secret you’re keeping?”

“What secret?” I ask innocently.

“You know what secret. You know I know when you’re keeping something from me Soph. So, what is it?”

“I was going to wait until we got back, but…” I hop out of bed and grab the picture from the drawer. Even in the darkened room, I can see Hunter smiling.

“Is that what I think it is?” he asks.

“I don’t know, what do you think it is?”

“Proof that I can put a pup in my mate on the first try,” he says smugly.

“Then yes, it’s exactly what you think it is,” I say, snuggling against him as he reaches over to turn on the light so he can see the ultrasound image of our pup.

“Too soon to tell if it’s a boy or a girl?” he asks, looking at the heading that simply says Baby Reynolds.

“Much too soon, but you did your job, Alphas. You’ve given your mates another pup.”

Hunter growls with Shaw’s deeper voice overlaying it. He sets the picture aside and turns to me. “We should celebrate. Right now,” he says, rolling over me and making me laugh.

He’s just about to slide inside me when the phone on his nightstand rings. This time his growl isn’t a happy one at all.

He reaches over, not moving off of me and watches me as he answers.

“Alpha Hunter.”

“Hunter! It’s Kayce. I need you, Lucas and some warriors over here right now! Robin is fighting for his life in my pack hospital and Nikki’s gone. She’s been kidnapped.”
