I held in a growl as I stepped to the door, silently cursing whoever was on the other side. They were interrupting my time with my mate; time I wanted to use to secure our bond. Any animosity I held melted away at the sight of Rowan on my doorstep, holding a teapot and wearing a wide smile.

“Hey, Alpha. I came by to bring Rory some more tea and check up on him,” he said as I pulled the door open.

“Alpha?” Rory asked from behind us. Rowan’s eyes widened with worry. “That’s a fun nickname.” I looked to my mate to see him standing up from the sofa. “How did you get it?” He stepped beside me and nuzzled against me. I happily wrapped my arm around his shoulders, pleased Rory was comfortable with showing affection in front of my friend.

“Phoenix has always been kind of the leader of our little group,” Rowan answered, still looking nervous.

“Aw, you guys really are like a wolf pack,” Rory smiled. Rowan’s eyes snapped to mine and I gave a subtle shake of my head.

“He saw my tattoo,” I explained.

“Of course,” Rowan nodded. He cleared his throat. “So Rory, you look like you’re feeling much better.”

“I am, thank you. Your treatments are working wonders.”

“Great. I brought you some more tea; I figured you would be out.”

“Oh, come on in and put it down,” Rory offered, holding a hand out toward the kitchen. “Thanks a lot. Hey, Phoenix and I were getting ready to watch a movie. Would you like to join us?” My mate flinched and looked at me worriedly. “Sorry, I mean...if that’s okay with you. I don’t know what came over me.”

“Don’t be sorry. I want you to think of this as your home, sweetheart.” In my mind, it already was, and I hoped soon Rory would feel that way as well. Rory gave me a sweet smile and lurched up onto his tiptoes to kiss my cheek. Rowan’s answering grin was blinding.

“If you’re sure I won’t be intruding…” Rowan asked, looking between us.

“Not at all,” I shrugged. I wanted my friends and my mate to spend time together; they’d be together for eternity, after all. Rowan entered and placed the teapot on my stovetop before sitting on the sofa. I poured a mug of tea for my mate and he sipped it greedily.

“Would Stone like to watch with us?” Rory asked sweetly.

“Tonight is Stone’s shift on patrol,” Rowan answered and Rory cocked his head in confusion. “We take turns monitoring the area for lost tourists or problems with the trails.”

“Well thank goodness for that or I’d be coyote food,” Rory answered. My chest ached at the possibilities if I hadn’t found him. “So what types of movies do you like, Row?”

Rowan’s gaze snapped to mine at the nickname, obviously judging for my reaction. I just smiled; I was happy Rory was comfortable around my friend and that they were getting along. “I like all kinds, but horror movies are my favorite.”

Rory shuddered.
