“I know.” She deflated and sat apprehensively onto the couch.

“So, what is the problem?” I asked, getting straight to the point.

“Heather is on her way to the pack hospital. They think she may be having the baby early. She isn’t due for almost a month.”

“Do they know what’s happening?” I was worried for Heather the minute Little Bunny had told me what was going on. Vincent was one of my best warriors, and I considered him a friend. He had also been very vital in keeping the new Luna happy and under control.

“Vincent didn’t have that information yet.” I sensed a but in her words.

“I told him to go. He needs to be with his mate at a time like this.” That shocked me. I know she would have preferred to have Vincent with us, of all people, but she sent him away.

“That was a wise decision.”

“Are you saying I’m incapable of being wise?” She asked, annoyed.

“No, just that you have made unwise decisions in the past.” I told her.

“Yeah, I’m looking at one.” She snapped. I growled at that. I didn’t like that she considered me an unwise choice. I was not putting myself in that category, and as much as I wish I could have a different mate, a different Luna. I never considered that taking her was unwise because I knew I had no other choice. I just didn’t accept it on a personal level, that was different. “Anyone ever call you Cujo because you growl so much?” She asked me, sarcasm all but physically dripping from the words. I fought the urge to growl again.

“Why do you insist on calling me the names of different fictional dogs?” I demanded.

“Why do you insist on calling me Little Bunny?” She countered.

“It’s amusing.”

“Right back at you Scooby Doo.”

“What was that one for?” I asked.

“Well, I could say it’s because you’re asking questions trying to be a detective, but the real answer is, because I wanted to make a rhyme.” I laughed.

I think it was the first time I had laughed in front of her, I hadn’t intended to do it, but I couldn’t help it. I was laughing and not just chuckling at her. She was shocked at first then she also laughed lightly. Her laugh was cute, like music.

Not bells tinkling or ringing or anything like that. It’s hard to describe. It sounded like normal laughter, but when I heard it, it felt like I was listening to soft, sweet, happy music. It made my wolf stand at attention, but he was a good boy and just sniffed the air, not trying to push things at the moment.

When the laughs between us ended, and I took a deep breath to settle myself, I continued the conversation.

“So, we need to find a replacement, and fast.”

“That’s right.” She agreed.

“I will call Noah and ask him-.” But she interrupted me before I could finish.

“No can do, he took Nikki to the cabin for the weekend.” She told me.

“That’s right, I had forgotten. What about David?” I asked her, I knew she was comfortable with him as well.

“We can give him a call.” She agreed.

I pulled out my phone and called the warrior, but there was no answer. He had better have a good reason for ignoring my call. I was not about to call my Beta and ask for his help. My Beta had not been my choice, it had been those meddling old fools who had forced my cousin on me. I didn’t think that my spineless twit of a cousin had enough brains to be a Beta. So, who did that leave me with?

“I can call Jeremy or Leslie.” I saw the revulsion on her face and wondered which one that face was for.

“Is there anyone else you trust?” She asked me, did she not like either of them?

“Is there a problem with my warriors?” I asked her. She looked uncomfortable. “Fine, you can answer that later. And to answer your question, no, no one that I would trust to go on the trip with us. I was in the middle of having them trained. I hadn’t been able to focus on training the warriors, as much as I would have liked, I was too busy running too many things.” I told her, letting her know that I clearly expect her to do her fair share.

“So, what, we reschedule?” She asked me, confused by the situation.

“We can’t, we have to go.”

“Then what do we do?”

“We go alone, just the two of us.” I declared. I swear, her face froze, and she looked like I told her I was going to kill her puppy. “We simply cannot reschedule.”

“I understand.” She frowned, nodding her head. She may have understood, but she clearly didn’t accept it. What am I going to do with her?

I grabbed my bag, which was already packed, and left the room with her. I led the way down the stairs, so I didn’t have to see the disappointment on her face. I know she feared me, I wanted that, counted on it, but I was no disappointment to anyone.

I grabbed her bag and marched quickly off down the hall, forcing her to jog to keep up. I was going to show her that she was lucky to be chosen as the Luna. That even though she was Luna in name only, she was still one of the luckiest women in the pack.

I walked past most of the cars, coming to a stop in front of the brand-new Portofino M I had purchased earlier this year. I rarely ever drove it, and I wasn’t even sure why I had gotten it. But now I want to show off a bit. The Italian sports car was usually much too flashy for the roads around here, and for me really, but maybe she would like it.

I threw the bags in the small trunk and had the passenger door opened for her before she had even caught up to me.

“Get in.” I told her trying to soften my voice. The look on her face was one of pure shock. The car probably took her breath away.

“We’re taking this?” She asked.

“It’s just the two of us now, we don’t need anything bigger.” I smirked at her. She sighed and got into the car. I shut her door and walked around to get in. She had buckled and was ready.

I started the car, the roar of the engine reminding me, partly, of why I had bought the car in the first place. I revved the engine a few times, reveling in the glorious sound and grinning to myself. I shifted the car into drive and started down the large, long driveway. I sped through the compound and out of the gate in no time at all.

This trip we were going on was to visit a cousin of mine. One I wish I could have traded for Caleb growing up. Riley grew up in a different pack and I only ever saw him on visits, but he was a hell of a lot better than Caleb, that’s for sure. We would be staying at Riley’s Alpha house tonight and then visiting a fealty pack tomorrow morning before going home. This would be a quick trip, thankfully.

I pulled the car onto the freeway, wanting to open it up a bit. It was Friday night, most people were already home from work, so the roads were pretty empty, thankfully. I was able to let the engine roar as I sped up on the empty highway.

“Ugh!” I heard my little bunny scoff next to me.
