Sabrina’s POVWhen I wake up, Ted is bent over my bed, his head near my leg, his butt in the chair next to me. I can see he showered since yesterday. My head is still hurting, likely will for a few days. I know I have at least a concussion.I run my hand through his black hair and he wakes up.“Hey, Baby,” He mumbles through his sleep. “Hey, yourself. What did you get up to last night?” I ask.Ted leans back and looks at me. “I had a meeting with the old man Waterman. The father of the Alpha who tried to hurt you. He was aware of the attack. I think he planned it himself. I don’t have proof, I’m looking for the proof, but it’s a feeling in my bones. He came with a typed treaty for me to sign. He had plans all laid out. No way he pulled that all together in a few hours. He also has no idea you are human.”“Wouldn’t the fact that you don’t carry a mark prove that?” I ask, with a laugh.Ted smiles. “Very logical, but no. Some Alphas aren’t marked if their mates are of a lower rank.”“Wh

Ted’s POV“Mommy!” Sophie squealed and ran into her mother’s arms. “Mommy, I am having so much fun. Come see what Zach and Tony are teaching me.”I look over at the boys as they slide a piece of paper under the couch.“Let me see it, boys,” I say, holding out my hand.Zach and Tony look at each other before handing me the paper.“We are going on a hunt for treasure,” Sophie jumps up and down.I see they have drawn a map to the caves on the pack lands.“Why?” I ask them.“So, she knows where to run to be safe,” Zach tells us.“We don’t want Sophie to be hurt, or lost, so we were going to show her the caves,” Tony looks up at me with innocent eyes.“If Sophie is safe, this mommy won’t run away too,” Zach mumbles and looks down at the floor.Sabrina lets out a small gasp.“What are you talking about, Zach?” She asks, kneeling in front of him, so they are eye to eye.“We heard my mom and dad,” Tony confesses. “If we can’t keep Sophie safe, you are going to leave and take her away. We like

Sabrina’s POVIt’s been four days, and a lot has happened. The royal inspectors are coming to the pack to conduct interviews this afternoon, the Hunters are settled into their new homes, our Warriors are on high alert, and Sophie landed a punch on Tony in her first pup training.Before the inspectors come, I am joining my first training class as well. Betty is coming with me since Ted is sure he would not be able to watch this.“Ok, class, our Luna will be joining us today. She wants to learn and the Alpha, Beta and I are expecting you to be helpful and respectful,” Betty explains to the class.Everyone seems really interested in me training. I learn the correct way to throw a punch today. Most of the girls in this class are teens, 16 and 17, who don’t have wolves yet, but have been training since they were 12.Did you know there is a correct way to make a fist? I do now. I know to throw it out with my hips and pull it back to a blocking position as quickly as possible.“Great class,

Sabrina’s POV“As you know, Duke Douglas, my mate is a reasonable man,” I interject, flirting a little to get under Lynn’s skin. “If Herbert Waterman will remove the rogues from the border, I am sure we can have peace between our packs. All any of us want to do is be able to raise our children in safety and peace.”Douglas seems to almost smile at me.“Well, yes, your mate is reasonable, that is certain. Compared to most Alphas, he is almost a doormat,” Douglass chuckles.“Oh, believe me, Your Highness, he is no doormat. Herbert Waterman threatened me and my children. My mate defended us within the law. I, personally, consider him a man of principal,” I defend Ted.Douglas gives me a charming smile. “There is a fine line between principled and weak. I believe your mate is weak and that is why he ran to us instead of defending his pack with a challenge.”Ted is about to say something, but I cut him off, “If my mate were weak then he would not have survived as long as he did. Especially

Sabrina’s POV“Mommy, you are so pretty!” Sophie squeals as she comes into my closet. “Daddy is taking you somewhere?”“Yeah, he is taking me on a date. Just me and Daddy,” I tell her, picking her up. “What do you think about that?”“I will miss you,” she says, laying her head on my shoulder. “Your dress is shiny!”“Yes, it is. Do you think Daddy will like it?” I ask of my silver dress I borrowed from Betty with matching heels. It’s good to be the same size as a fashionista.“Daddy likes it a lot,” Ted answers, checking me out from the door of my closet. “Wow! Sabrina, you look amazing.”“You look good too,” I smile, seeing him in a tailored black suit with shiny shoes. He is wearing a bright green shirt with an open collar. He styled his hair away from his face. I know tonight that hair will be falling around his eyes as he pumps into me hip to hip.“Stop thinking about that. We have reservations,” he tells me with a grin.I laugh and put Sophie down.“Okay, let’s walk you down to Be
