Chapter 5

Duke woke slowly, his lion snoring happily, thanks to their new mate. Ree slept next to him, tucked safe and warm in his arms. They’d spent most of the night talking in between making love, and he could honestly say that it was nothing short of love, because he was full-on crazy about her. She was witty and sweet; family was important to her, which was something they shared. Although her upbringing had been entirely different than his, they found common ground and similar interests.

Glancing at his phone, he saw that it wasn’t even six a.m. yet, and considering that they’d been up until after three, he was surprised he was even coherent, let alone waxing poetic about his mate’s finer qualities. He wanted to stay in bed with her all day, but he knew he needed to speak to his parents as soon as possible. The sooner he talked to them and accepted the exile, the quicker he could get back to Ree and her sweet embrace. Slipping from the bed as stealthily as possible, he managed to get dressed without waking her. He went into the kitchen and found a notepad and pen, and scribbled a message.

Pushing open the back door, he hurried to his car and pulled out of the parking lot, his foot on the floor and the engine roaring. His lion didn’t much care to leave their mate in the apartment, but it was a secure floor, in a secure bar, and he knew she’d be safe.

His parents were early birds, and it was a habit that he’d inherited. He couldn’t sleep much past sunrise, even on the nights when he was out late hunting. He would have had a good reason for staying in bed late this morning, considering Ree’s sweet scent called to him like nothing he’d ever experienced before, but he’d rather handle things with the pride now while she slept. He’d told her a lot about the pride, but he’d left out the part about being next in line for alpha. She didn’t really understand that hierarchy, and she was already worried about him giving up so much.

She just didn’t realize that it was no hardship. At the end of the day, his title – or even if he had one – didn’t matter. It was strange how
