Chapter 7

Connor groaned as Ana nibbled along his jawline, her fingers sliding up under his shirt. Today had been long and the cubs were finally asleep. He’d been counting down the time until he and Ana finally got some alone time.

When she slid her hand down the front of his pants, he groaned again. “Tell me again why I can’t touch you?”

She bit his chin playfully before brushing her lips over his. “Because I said so, Alpha.”

“I don’t sense any respect in that word.”

She snorted and nipped him again. God, he loved the way she played with him. It didn’t matter that they were bonded now, some days he still expected to get up and find out this was all a dream. When she raked her teeth against his neck, that dominant nature inside him welled up, was ready to take over and flip her onto her back right on the living room floor when he felt his phone buzz in his pocket.

Ana paused then pulled back, but remained straddling his lap. “Grab it, it could be important.”

There was no censure or disappointment in her words. One of the many, many things he loved about her. She was the perfect Alpha’s mate. Hell, the perfect mate period. She understood the nature of his position and always supported it. Just as he supported hers. The give and take sometimes felt almost synchronized. He wasn’t sure what he’d done to deserve her, but he was holding on to her forever. Frustrated at the interruption, he fished the phone out and tensed when he saw Erin’s name.

She’d already checked in with him. If she was calling again it meant something had happened. “What?” he demanded, answering on the second buzz.

“Scented a vampire in the area. Maybe two. Hard to tell with the wind though. I sensed power, too. Not as strong as you or me but there was some decent power in the air.”

Connor frowned. Vampires. “What did Larissa say?” The newest member of their pack was an ancient vampire, bonded to Aiden.

“She and Aiden both agreed. The trace of something was in the air but…it wasn’t there long, so…” Erin sighed and he could practically see her frustrated expression. He could certainly hear it in her voice. “It might have been an old scent.”

“On our property?” he asked dryly, not looking for an answer.

She sighed again. “Yeah, I know.”

“Keep Teresa and Ryan in the cabin with two packmates inside at all times. Mix up the shifts, I don’t care how you do it.” It would be harder to make it appear like Ryan and Teresa were alone this way, but his pack’s safety was more important than anything.

“How’s Rafael and his team?”

“Settled in, no movement that I’ve heard of.”

“Hmm.”

Connor had a feeling he knew exactly what Erin meant.

“If this is a vampire thing… Teresa is connected to Natalia,” Ana said, speaking for the first time. Her thoughts mirrored Connor’s.

“That’s what I was thinking,” Erin said. Even over the phone they’d have no problem hearing each other, not with their extrasensory abilities.
