Was it wrong that I was already falling for her with my heart and not just with my, well you know?

Everything was going well, all things considered. I was actually liking being mated to David. He was a smart and capable guy that got the job done. I just couldn’t get over the fact that I was older than him by seven years. Oh, and that was nearly to the day, since we found out that we were both born at the end of June. Was it bad that I was actually looking forward to turning thirty-one and spending my birthday with David whose birthday was the day before mine. (That’s right, he was one day shy of seven years younger than me.)
We had a lot of work to accomplish and it needed to be done as soon as possible. I wanted to visit with all the other supernatural beings in the area and see if they knew anything about Edmond. The first stop on our list was Landon Clayton as he lived nearby in Manitou.
Landon was another young Alpha that had taken over his pack at a young age. Damn all these young people making me feel like I abandoned my responsibility when my parents died. They all had so much power and authority and they were all younger than me.
I met with Landon as soon as we arrived at his house, a smaller and less extravagant version of a wolf pack Alpha house. At least it wasn’t garish. Landon himself was tall, of course, and muscular, no shit he’s a shifter. What set him apart were the bright blue eyes that went well with the dusty blonde of his hair.
“Come in.” Landon seemed like a nice guy as soon as I met him. A lot less cocky than Joaquin that’s for sure. But of course, I knew now that Joaquin really was a good guy.
“Thanks Mr. Clayton.” I nodded to him and followed him into the hall.
“Landon is fine.” He corrected me. “Hey David.” He greeted my mate as he walked in behind me.
“Hey there Landon.”
“Helping the FBI out now are you.” The two of them were talking like old friends.
“That and travelling with my new mate.” I noticed the proud look in David’s eyes then. At least he didn’t have a chip on his shoulder about the age gap.
“Really?” Landon looked between the two of us with a shocked expression. “Congrats man, that’s wonderful news. Promise to invite me to the wedding, I’ll at least send an envoy.”
“You’re a dick.” David laughed off the man’s words.
“I try, you know. Now come on, let’s sit down.
Landon led us to a sitting room and office combo. He sat on the sofa instead of behind his desk so the rest of us followed suit and sat on the comfortable seating as well, David and I together and Jackson in a chair nearby.
“Landon, this is Rawlynne Otsana, FBI agent and my mate. And this is Jacson McIan, Rawlynne’s partner and honorary brother.”
“He’s human.’ Landon noted.
“Yes, but he knows about us.” I told him, not needing to explain that he only recently found out.
“Cool, welcome to the world of the weird.” Landon grinned at him. “So, what was it you needed to talk about?”
“We’re looking for information about a warlock named Gannon Cornelius Edmond.”
“That’s a mouthful of a name.” Landon joked. “But I think it’s familiar. Let me check something.”
I watched as he walked to a bookcase behind him and proceeded to pick up a thick volume from among the shelves. He took the book back to his seat and flipped through it silently for a few minutes.
“Ah, yes, here it is.” He looked up. “He’s a nasty son of a bitch, isn’t he?”
“That he is.” David nodded. “He kidnapped my Luna recently.”
“Dude, seriously?” Oh my Goddess, they were talking like kids right now.
“Yes, apparently he’s her father.”
“Cool, a half witch Luna. Is she any good at the job?”
“Yeah.” David nodded and seemed to remember how good his Luna really was.
“Nice. Well anyway, I have some records of him trying to meddle with my people a long time ago. We go mostly by pack now, but it’s a pride really, and back then it was run by my great grandfather. He seemed to want to find out the true differences between the shifters or something. He was even targeting the wolves and the bears.”
“Sounds like a true psychopath.” I heard Jackson say as he shuddered with disgust. “Do you know where he is now?”
“No, the last record I have of him was some place in northern California. There is a mention of a rumor about a pack called the Hidden Paw, but I’ve never heard of them before.”
“Neither have I.” I told him with a confused look. “Do you mind letting me see that book?”
“Sure thing, you can borrow it for now. I’m assuming you will be at the wedding for Joaquin if you’re with David, I will have someone pick it up then.”
“Still not leaving your lands?” David laughed at the man.
“You know how it is, we have less people than you so I am always running things myself. Plus I have a company to run since my dad up and left it all to me.”
