Hozzle, giving Emily an approving nod. She meets my eyes in the side-view mirror and catch her silent squeal of excitement that says she has something she dying to tell me. The two of us tumble out of the car and head straight for the house, leaving the boys in the driveway

Studying the street and the rows of cottages, I join Koda behind my car, unlocking the trunk when he passes me the keys. This pack is a lot bigger than ours was, comment, counting at least twenty homes on this street alone. I'm still not clear on how this happened." Koda nods and for the first time I notice the dark purple hickey fading out at the base of his throat. He notices me staring and clears his throat, his face coloring with something that looks like a blush. "What fuck are you gawking at?" He hisses, fighting a smile as he reaches into my trunk for five different bags.

Kotlinches, his gaze widening as he takes a seat next to me. "Baby?"

I not, surprised that Emily didn't spill the tea herself. Maybe that girl's alright after all "We're keeping it on the down for now. My dad says it coedd pose a problem should the pack find out beloer they've had time to accept Deaven as their Luna." 1, she's not their Luna," Koda snipes possessively. "She's our Luna."

"Well,

I sigh, "Our fathers built this place, Koda. They built it for us. Or didn't you get that fum our moting when we first got here."

"I know." Shaking my head, I per over my shoulder to make certain the girls are still de. They are. "But we have to at least for now. I refuse to endanger Draven's liff again. I know we came here to bring them home, but with a baby on the way I changed my mind." Roda begim a steady top of his foot that tells me he's barely holding his frustration in check. 'T'd hate to take Emily away from Draven. They're good for each other?

Of they're going to separate, 1 chide bim. For tonight at least, I want to be alone wah Draven. And I think you need to be alone with Emily too."

Roda stands to face mr, his dark blareyes falling serious. "About Rainier's sister" He trails off.

I shake my braid, wagging my finger in front of me so that he remains quiet. "I dont think Rainier knows she's out here. Last he heard, she and her mother joined se park in Colorado"

He groans, "Well someone ought to tell him before he gets here tonight. And what about Draven? Does she know about-

"No." I snap. "It's too soon. She still hasn't totally forgiven me and if I tell her about Tanya right now-it will only make things w Chapter Comments
