I look at Sarah, not sure if she wants them to know. She looks at me as she replies. “We were prisoners in the coven at the same time.”
Both women suck in a breath. Chloe takes a step toward her, tears in her eyes. Can I hug you?” She asks.
When Sarah nods, she comes over and begins crying on her shoulder. Sarah looks at me questioningly but wraps her arms around her and pats her back awkwardly. I just shrug.
It’s Amy that speaks up. “Chloe, you’re freaking her out, stop blubbering.”
‘Sorry. It must be the hormones.” Chloe says, sniffling. “But seriously, I can see why our Beta is taken with you. I don’t know how you survived in that awful place.”
Sarah shrugs. What can we say, you do what you have to do to survive.
About an hour later we’ve made good progress. The room is clean and we’ve started making a list of supplies that will be needed to stock the bunker. I’m going though the in-room pantry, calling out items when Dustin walks in.
“Good morning, Beta.” Amy and Chloe sing out in unison.
I turn to see Dustin walking toward Sarah. “Good morning, ladies. How is everyone this morning?” He asks, but he’s only looking at Sarah.
She blushes slightly as he comes up to her, standing a bit too close. Sarah doesn’t seem to mind. If anything, her shoulders relax a little. “Hi Dustin.” She says quietly.
He leans in and tries to subtly sniff her. Unfortunately for him, he’s in a room with nosey women.
“What does she smell like Beta?” Amy asks.
His eyes go wide and he looks like he’s been caught with his hand in the cookie jar. Sarah looks appalled.

“Were you sniffing me?” He starts shaking his head really fast. “Because I’m sure I stink. I need another shower.”
“You don’t stink. You smell great.” He says and a dopey, lovesick smile spreads across his face.
I see Amy and Chloe smirking, looking at each other. They are enjoying making their Beta uncomfortable. It’s probably a rare occurrence.
“So, what great smell does she have Beta?” Chloe picks up the line of questioning. “Strawberries.” He says reverently and their smiles could light up the room.
“Amy?” Chloe says, turning to her friend and I see the devilish twinkle in her eye. “Do you remember that time that Beta Dustin went around and stole all the strawberries out of the fruit bowls that were set out for that important Alpha meeting we had here?”
Amy is nodding her head vigorously. “I definitely do. I believe that was the day that we all realized that no one gets in between our Beta and his strawberries.” Dustin looks like he wants the earth to swallow him whole, poor Sarah looks totally confused and it’s all I can do to keep from laughing out loud.
“Well, I just came to see if you were okay Sarah. If you’re good, I’ve got work to do for Liam.” Dustin says in a rush to leave.
“Okay, bye Dustin.” She says. He looks at her for a moment, before leaning in and kissing her forehead then turning on his heel and leaving.
As soon as he’s gone, Amy and Chloe burst into laughter. Sarah looks from them to me. “What?”
That’s all it takes for me to lose it as well, and I’m laughing. “It’s a werewolf thing, Sarah.”
She frowns, so I walk over to her, hugging her. “A good werewolf thing or a bad werewolf thing?” she asks.
“GOOD!” We all say.
By lunch time, we’re all ready for a break. We head upstairs to grab some lunch and I run into Luna Calista.
“Calista. I didn’t know you wanted to start today.” I tell her.
“Of course, no time like the present, although it looks like you’ve already been working on something.”
I’m filthy from cleaning and stocking food. “We’re cleaning out the bunkers in preparation for the battle. I was just about to go get a shower then have some lunch. If you haven’t eaten yet, would you join me?” I ask her.
“I’d be delighted. Anders here was going to try to find Liam and talk to him. Do you know where he is?” She asks.
“He’s right here.” Liam says, walking into the room. “Alpha Anders. Luna Calista. I thought you’d be heading home today.”
“We will be staying until tomorrow, if that’s okay.” Anders says. “King Ailduin is coming tomorrow, and I know we have plans for you and Angel to meet him. Until then, I thought I could be of some help to you, Liam.’
Calista pulls me aside. “Go get showered sweetheart, we have our own work to do while the men do their thing.”
Before I can leave, Liam pulls me into his chest. “You look like you’ve been busy Luna.”
“Mmhmm, we’re getting the bunkers cleaned out and we’ve started a supply list. Oh and I learned about our Beta’s fascination with strawberries.”
“It’s renowned. Did you hear about the Alpha meeting?” He says and I start laughing again.
“I did.” I lean in to whisper in his ear. “Apparently Sarah smells like. strawberries.”
Liam’s bark of laughter has everyone in the room going still. They all turn to see their Alpha laughing out loud for the first time in his life. Anders and Calista share a knowing look while I laugh along with my mate.
“I can’t wait to give him hell about that.” Liam says.
I reach up on my toes and kiss him. “Gotta run Alpha, got Luna stuff to do.”
As I walk away, I feel his eyes follow me up the stairs until I turn the corner to our room.

As I watch my mate walk away, my heart feeling light as a feather, Anders steps up to me.
“The Moon Goddess always gets it right, doesn’t she?”
“I don’t know about always, but she definitely got it right with me.”
When I can no longer see her, I turn to Anders. “What kind of help were you thinking of Anders?”
