Filed to story: Luna Lovette and Alpha Kodak Story
Kodak cleared his throat. “Nothing.” Not liking even the thought of the other males ogling her, he shot them all a cautioning look. Of course he couldn’t blame them. She was so damn sensual and so damn unaware of it.
“By the way,” said Dante, grinning from ear to ear, “welcome to the pack, Lovette.”
She snorted. “You might not be saying that when Roscoe appears on your territory.”
“Are you kidding? We’re looking forward to it.”
“Yeah, we have to thank you for bringing a bit of life to things round here,” agreed Smiley as he leaned back in his chair – or Marcus, as he had introduced himself as on the drive here. Although he didn’t seem any more accepting of her than the others did, he wasn’t as antisocial toward her as they were.
“You have to understand, Lovette,” said Dante, “we don’t get a lot of challenges. This is the most excitement our pack has had in a while.”
“Why were your dad’s enforcers following you around?” asked Kodak.
“When Roscoe came to visit I wasn’t very nice and they considered me a flight risk. The mating ceremony was supposed to take place in a few days.”
“Do you think her dad will keep fighting this?” asked Burly. His name was Patrick, remembered Lovette – or ‘Trick’ for short.
Kodak shook his head. “He might be pissed off and wish things had happened differently, but it’s like Lovette said. He’ll be worried I’ll defeat him and make him look weak to the rest of his pack. He recognised that my wolf was more dominant than his.”
“And the alliance? Do you think we have any chance of getting it?”
Kodak looked at her. “What do you think?”
“I’d say yes,” she said. “I saw the look on his face when you asked if an alliance with you wouldn’t have meant anything to him. It gave him something to think about.”
Dante tilted his head at her. “He’ll switch loyalties that easily from Roscoe to Kodak?”
“As long as he gets an alliance with a powerful alpha out of this, he’ll be content. Give it a few weeks for him to finish sulking and he’ll make contact, wanting us to meet up. I’ll put money on it.”
“You’re that confident?”
“He’s that fickle.”
“Well, we’ll know for sure on Sunday,” said Kodak. “If he comes along with Roscoe, he’s stating that he allies himself with him, no matter the outcome.”
“Do you think Roscoe will come as soon as he realizes you’ve mated Lovette?” asked Dante.
“Yep. What time’s he due to arrive on Sunday?” Kodak asked her.
“Early in the morning.”
“Greta’s not due back ’til after lunch. She’ll be disappointed she missed the confrontation.”
“Actually she called earlier to say she’d be arriving in the morning,” Trick informed him.
“Greta?” Lovette was glad that none of the possessiveness and jealousy had leaked into her voice. Her wolf snapped to alertness, wondering at the mystery female.
“Grandmother,” explained Kodak.
Lovette didn’t like the way he was grinning. It said he was aware of her wolf’s immediate response to him having said another female’s name with such familiarity. She shot him what she knew was a petulant scowl. He laughed silently.
“She doesn’t go out much,” said Dante, “but occasionally she goes to stay with her sister who mated into another pack. I think she might be hoping to try and secure an alliance between that pack and ours. It could have been done a long time ago but Kodak was never interested in making them until now.”
“Does the Alpha of that pack have many alliances?”
“Not really, but it would be more than what we have now.”
“Then I guess it’s a good thing my dad’s so fickle.” Sighing, she smoothly slid off the countertop. “Where’s my bag?”
“Kodak’s room,” Tao told her, his tone unwelcoming. “It’s the same room you woke up in last time you were here.”
Dante gestured with his hands as he spoke. “Just take a left at the end of this tunnel. You then need to take your second left after that. Then go straight until you come to a junction and take a right.”
When her eyes flicked to his, Kodak thought he might have seen hesitation there. “Go anywhere else and I’ll just hunt you down and drag you to bed.”
She rolled her eyes. “Easy there, Flinstone.”
