The dinner was a lively affair. Adam and Brandon sat next to her, and she felt surrounded by their heat and warmth. The dining room was huge. The long oak table stretched almost the entire length of the room. There were many people she didn’t recognize, but she waited for the introductions. When would they talk to her about the ceremony? What did it mean? Was it like Erin said, an old ritual of marriage? In being a part of the ceremony, would she be married to Adam and Brandon? Did she even want to stay here in Alaska?

The front door opened, and a man walked into the room. She recognized him from the front gate. It was the park ranger. She laughed a little, thinking about how she could’ve possibly confused him for a park ranger when he was wearing all black and had weapons secured to different parts of his body.

“What are you doing here, Ryan? Is there something we need to discuss in my office?” Adam started to stand, but their new guest just shook his head, so he sat back down in the chair.

“I’m here formally…to petition.” Everyone in the room looked shocked, and Chloe knew that this must be serious. It had to do with the ceremony. They weren’t expecting any single men to step forward. Talking to both Brandon and Erin today had helped her put the pieces of the puzzle together.

“What! No!” Brandon jumped up and growled at the newcomer, but Ryan stood firm. He didn’t flinch or move.

“Brandon…sit down. Any unmated males are allowed to petition, you know that.” Adam stayed calm, but Chloe could tell his muscles were flexing and assumed that maybe he wasn’t okay after all.

Ryan moved to an empty chair near her. “Chloe, it’s good to see you again.”

“It’s good to see you, too, Mr. Park Ranger.” She smiled, enjoying his big bellow of a laugh. She looked over and saw that both Adam and Brandon weren’t pleased. They both scowled at her.

Dinner continued, and Chloe listened to different conversations happening around her, she decided it was best to focus on her food. Her plate was full with ribs, baked beans, coleslaw, and large steak fries. Everything looked and smelled delicious. She leaned down and inhaled the aromas, moaning deep. When a few conversations stopped, she looked up. “What?”

“God, woman…do you have to make those sounds? It’s almost indecent,” Brandon said in her ear, and gave it a slight nip with his teeth.

“The food looks wonderful. Can I have a knife?” She looked over at Adam.

“A knife…for what?” He looked down at her plate.

“The ribs.” She looked at him, waiting for him to give her a knife.

“What? No…those ribs are perfect. Just pick up the bone and shake it. The meat is so tender it will fall off. If you need a knife…I’ll be your slave for a week.” He looked insulted, as if he was completely offended by her asking for a knife.

“A week…huh? That sounds promising.
