He's curled up behindand his fingers begin working their magic, strumming my body like it's his guitar while
he murmurs in my ear, sending shivers all over my body.
“One of each? Maybe more than one of each. Knowing how much | want you every minute of the day, we could
end up with an entire pack of babies if you want.”
“Well then, Guardian mine, you'd better start practicing.” I love that my mate takes his practice very
seriously.
The next morning. I'm a bit tired after Clint keptup most of the night. But my body feels amazing, if a little
sore. We agreed that Calista and | would stay near Estella when the Alphas and their packs arrive. As soon as he
exits his car, | can see that Alpha Benjamin is still angry at not having his chance to takeas his mate. His

flirtatiousness | saw in him several months ago, is gone. His eyes have begun to look haunted, and they've lost
the light that used to shine in them. He’s very close to going feral. He smiles and says all the
right things when he approaches Leander and Estella, but | can see the need in him, feel his desire to find
his mate and have a child of his own. My heart breaks for him.
At dinner that night, | watch the other Alphas. Leander was right about Alpha Benjamin. There is
