Zahra's POV"So, Luna," Tammy starts, "how did you meet Lincoln?""Zahra, please. You're going to be my unit and, hopefully, my closest friends. Just Zahra is fine," I say, smiling at them all.But her question surprises me."Didn't they tell you?" I say, looking at the guys."Tell us what?" Tammy says.I smile."I've known them all for ages. I met Lincoln and Sam four years ago at the Alpha King's summer training camp. Then I was at the dinner where Tobias and King James introduced Isaac and Jackson to Sam and Lincoln.""Oh, so you've known them all longer than we have?" Holly says, smiling.I nod."I still can't believe you're lucky enough to be mated to Zahra, man," Sam says, shaking his head.Holly smacks his arm."I'm right here," she scowls at him.He chuckles, kissing her nose."Not like that, babe. It's just Zahra here is more than a little special. She's the best warrior any of us have ever seen, she graduated high school at fourteen, graduated Night Howlers Academy early, an

Zahra's PovWe chat away in the living room for what feels like five minutes, but when Lincoln squeezes my hand and I look up, I realise the light is golden and the sun is starting to descend in the sky."It's nearly time for dinner to be served. Do you want to change?" Lincoln asks. "We're relaxed here and you look beautiful, as always. I just didn't want to take the option away from you," he hurries on, as if worried I'll be offended by his words.I smile at him and glance at the others. They are all in shorts and T-shirts, or, in Holly's case, a light summer skirt and a sleeveless top.I'm in the sundress I put on this morning to make a good first impression. It's clean and not too wrinkled and will still serve its purpose. I don't want the others to think I'm high maintenance."I'm happy to go down like this," I say to Lincoln, squeezing his hand gently.He smiles, his silver eyes bright, but beneath it I can feel his nervous excitement through the bond.Fuck... this is about to ha

Lincoln's POV'What the hell, man? How could you let her walk into this?'Tobias's link drips with vitriol, and he's right.Goddess damn, he's right.The tension in the room has every hair on my body on edge. We're supposed to be here to reassure the pack and calm things down ahead of the fucking inspection, and now this?Lex is standing to attention, every instinct focused on our mate, because it feels like a very real possibility that someone might lunge for her, and I know from the set of Xander's shoulders and the way Tobias is squeezing his cutlery they both feel it as well.At least the one saving grace is that they will both put themselves between Zahra and any harm. If this breaks into an all-out fight, Zahra will have my entire unit and three Alphas, as well as her own incredible skill, to keep her safe.I can't fucking believe I put her in this position.'I didn't see this coming,' Lex murmurs, berating himself for the hundredth time.'We don't have a bond with the pack yet.
