Chapter 123

Chapter 0123

Dinner was great. | can see everyone watching us, watching Cara. It's her first real public appearance and just as

| expected, my mother circled her with ranked wolves to make sure she feels comfortable. I've been going back

and forth talking to the others at the table while also keeping my attention on Cara and her conversations. I'm

ready to swoop in if she starts to feel overwhelmed. When she asks where the restrooms are, | point her in their

direction. | know she needs a minute to regroup.

| keep my eye on where she went. If it takes her too long to cback, I will go check on her. | want this to be a

positive experience, one that she will repeat daily with me. It's important to the pack and if she’s going to be my

Luna, she needs to feel comfortable being a part of the large group.

Because I'm watching so closely, | see Sheila sneak over to the bathrooms. Oh hell no!

| get up and head over to redirect whatever it is she thinks she is going to say to my girl. This is not going to

happen. Sheila has walked around a corner and doesn’t seecoming. So | overhear their conversation. Cara is

even more amazing than | expected. She doesn’t get angry and doesn’t react other than to tell Sheila that

jealousy isn’t attractive. How can Sheila be stupid enough to tell Cara that | would give her up. She knows she’s

my mate, so she knows that will never happen. It’s ridiculous and borders on being insubordinate to her future

Luna.

So, | do what I've been doing, | claim her publicly. | know everyone is watchingas | begin explaining all the

reasons why Cara is more worthy of my claim than any other she-wolf in this room, this pack, or the world. She

is remarkable and most of the other wolves don’t know her strength outside the training field. But | do. And |

make sure everyone else in the pack knows now too.

| knew announcing that our match on Monday meant she’d becmy official girlfriend would throw the betting

odds completely off, but | also wanted to stake my claim yet again. I'm thrilled that my warriors understand the

importance of this match enough that now no one is betting against me. And Cara’s compromise of betting on

the length of tis a good one. | know she won’t make it easy onand | don’t plan to hurt her, so yeah, it will

be a long match withwearing her down until | can pin her.

When Artemis comes forward and announces that she will be shifting tomorrow, Kai pushesout of the way to

cforward. He's been prancing around in my

head for days wanting to be with his mate. He's practically purring in her ear when he asks about going on a run

tomorrow. And that sassy little minx turns in our arms and smirks up at us. “Do you think you can catchKai?”

A low growl rumbles in my chest. “I will catch you little guardian. No matter how long you run, no matter where

you hide, I will find always catch you.”

Her eyes flash a brilliant gold before Cara pulls her back and looks up at Kai. “No misbehaving Kai or | won't let

you two out together again, got it?” She scolds my wolf.

He rubs our face against hers. “Define misbehaving.” He says softly in her ear.

She scoffs, “You're as bad as she is.” She nips my chin, now give Rik control, he needs to walkhome.

I pull Kai back and take her hand. She hasn't stoppedfrom holding her hand yet, so I'm going to keep doing

it. “Letsay goodbye to your parents.” She says, pullingin that direction.

We walk over and mom gives her a hug. “I hope to see you again soon Cara. It was really nice having you here.”

Cara smiles at mom. “Apparently, I'm going to lose my match on Monday and part of my deal with Rik was to

spend more there in the packhouse, so | guess you'll be sick ofbefore long.”
