“After Antonio mated with me we were contacted by a male who’d been cast out. When we accepted him the other came forward as well to join us.” Solana grinned and wrinkled her nose. “So we have all the non-shifters—and former non-shifters—on the planet in our Pride.”

“Wow.” That was a courageous step forward for her brother. If anything could prove to her that her brother would never be like her father, it was this. It warmed her to know all her brothers had turned out well and that the Pride was in good hands. She sniffed the air, but didn’t scent either of the twins or Miguel. As far as she knew only Antonio had gone out.

“Where is everyone?”

“At the airport. The guys decided to make a showing together.” Her sister-in-law yawned, her foot bouncing restlessly against the hardwood floor. “Carmen is flying in today with her mate.”

“Carmen left the Pride?” Her eyebrows arched. She never would have guessed that Carmen might leave North America unless she mated to someone in a ruling family from another Pride and had no choice. Carmen was the type to cling tightly to her roots, not seek out adventure…they’d known each other all their lives, but they’d never been close because Andrea was mouthy and rebellious and it had shocked Carmen to her traditionalist soul. She’d never have spoken to her Pride leader the way Andrea had.

Solana rolled her head against the plush leather chair she sat in until she looked Andrea in the eyes. “She didn’t have a choice. Her mate was a human.”

“Holy shit.” That would mean he couldn’t change forms and most Prides would treat Carmen no better than a non-shifter. A human mate meant no children for Carmen. Poor girl. She’d always been about hearth and home—or as much as any oversexed Panther could be.

Thinking of sex made her think of Miguel. She sighed, leaning back and wincing a little when her sore skin slid against leather.

“Antonio didn’t make her an outcast.”

“Good.” It made sense that if he’d take in non-shifters, he’d let a Panther mated to a human stay in the Pride.

“She needs to take the loyalty oath to the new heir as well.” Solana patted her belly and crooned gently to the child inside her. “Isn’t that right?”

Andrea grinned at the unexpected softness on her sister-in-law’s face. “Are you hoping for a boy or a girl? And don’t say ‘either as long as it’s healthy’.”

“Either as long as it’s healthy.” Solana pulled a face. “Though I’m rooting for a girl just because we need more estrogen in this family. The twins, Antonio, and Miguel are a ton of combined testosterone. I need backup.”

Andrea laughed. “So, you don’t assume I’m staying when the baby is born?”

“I try not to assume anything. I leave that up to the political strategists. I’m just a businesswoman.”

“And a successful one at that.” She stretched her arms over her head, enjoying the sweet twinge in her muscles. As much as she’d resisted, she was starting to assume she’d stay as well.
