Savage woke as the sun rose, the early morning light peeking through the gauzy curtains. Even though Thea had said the house was protected, and the intelligent part of his brain knew that it was highly improbable anyone in the prowl knew where he was, he hadn’t been able to rest well. He dozed lightly, waking frequently, his cat wanting to see and touch Thea repeatedly to ensure she was still there.

The worry at the forefront of his mind was what would happen when he took her to the prowl. He had to be back in their territory by sunset, which was less than twelve hours away. He wanted to speak to his parents and get their advice.

Thea stirred next to him, rolling to her back and stretching with a soft groan. “Morning.”

“Hi beautiful,” he said.

She beamed at him and sat up. Glancing at the clock, she said, “Would you like some coffee or tea? Are you hungry?”

He wrapped his hand around her wrist and rubbed the healed mating mark. “I’d love some, but I’ll help.”

She nodded and the two extricated themselves from the tangle of covers. After tying the sash of her robe into a neat bow, she pointed him to the bathroom and told him to meet her in the kitchen.

“I’d like to call my parents,” he said.

She turned and smiled. “Of course.” She lifted her phone from the nightstand and handed it to him.

He used the bathroom and then sat on the bed, dialing his dad’s cell phone.

“Hello?” his dad answered.

“Hey, it’s me.”

“Oh! Whose number is this? Where are you? The queen just blew the horn announcing that the Hunt is over, and I was hoping to hear that you’d managed to stay hidden all night.”

“Is Mom around? I’d like to tell you both what happened.”

“Sure.” He heard his dad call for his mom, and then her voice came over the phone. “Are you okay, Savage?”

“Yeah, I’m great, actually.” He explained what had happened during the Hunt. The events of the night before were so fantastical that he still had a hard time believing how fortunate he was to have found his mate. He only had to look at the mating mark on his wrist to know for sure that he wasn’t dreaming, and his life was changed for the better. “So, I’m here at Thea’s, and I obviously need to bring her to the queen at sunset to officially declare our mating with the prowl, but I have some concerns.”

There was silence on the other end of the line for several moments, and then his dad said, “First, we want to say congratulations. We’re so happy that you found your mate.”

“It’s incredible that she was in our territory last night. I mean, what are the odds?”

“I feel like it’s a million to one,” Savage said. “I saved her, and she saved me.”

“I think,” his dad said, “that you and Thea should meet us right outside town. I’m thinking of the little coffee shop, Mrs. Beans?”

“Okay.
