"Thank you so much for having me," Lacey said to Arkin, standing by the limo with Brogan and the other shifters from her pack. She hadn't seen her warriors since she had been there, but they seemed to have had a good time. A few members of the Shadow Pack had even come to say goodbye, and Brogan, Misty, and Victor were all smiling, which was a good sign. Misty and Victor got into the car, but Brogan waited for Lacey, holding the door open for her.Arkin placed his hands on her upper arms, and then gave her a kiss on both cheeks. "It was a pleasure to see you again. Please. Promise me that you'll come back again soon."Lacey nodded, smiling. "Only if you promise to come to the Harvest Moon Pack to visit us, too.""That, little sister, may be an offer we can't refuse," Seth said, smiling from ear to ear. "Good. I'm counting on it." Then Arkin pulled her close and whispered in her ear, "And don't worry about the alliance between our packs. It's very strong. When you need us, let us know
The Alpha's Companion Chapter 60: Dinner at Home
Later that night, there was a knock on their door. "Room service," someone said through the door.Julien gave her one last kiss in their bed, smiling against her lips. "I thought we'd have dinner in tonight."Lacey giggled. "You think of everything, don't you?"He shrugged. "I try." Then he got out of bed and slipped into a robe. "Stay here. I don't want anyone to see what's mine."Lacey lay on the bed naked, stretching out, glad to be home and in her own bed with Julien again. Then she stood and slipped into a cream-colored silk robe and walked out after the waiters left. A cart covered with a white tablecloth set in the middle of the room. "Wow! You didn't have to do this!"Julien smirked, taking a cloche-covered platter to the table. "This was supposed to be a surprise. I thought that we might like dining in tonight, since it's your first night back."Lacey took the plates and silverware from the cart and began setting it up. "Good thinking."Then Julien set two long-stemmed glasses
The Alpha's Companion Chapter 61: The Return of Scar
The next morning, Lacey woke early, leaving Julien sleeping. It had been days since she had been able to train, and she missed her young warriors. Lacey packed her practice bag and headed down the stairs and into the main dining hall. When she walked in, everyone stepped out of her way."Good morning, Alpha Queen," one pack member said after the other, moving out of her way.Brogan walked up beside her and smiled. "Good morning, Alpha Queen."Lacey looked over the pack and everyone was still looking at her. "What is this all about?"Brogan smiled. "Word of you standing up to Alpha Taregan has spread." He leaned closer. "They're staring at you in admiration."Chills ran over her body. "Thank you." Then she turned around to face everyone that was in the room. "Thank you, everyone, for your allegiance. It will be needed over the next few days or weeks until the Wildclaws attack again." Lacey planted her feet and squared her shoulders. "And this time, we will be ready.""Aye!" they all ye
The Alpha's Companion Chapter 62: Council Meeting
Outside, Brogan walked over to Julien, standing in the center of the practice field, and whispered something to him just as Lacey was putting on her MMA fighting gloves. Julien looked over at Lacey and frowned, then he went on to address the pack. "Young warriors, you will train with the Alpha Queen today, Team Alpha is with me, Team Omega is with Kodiak...." Then just before they broke into their groups, Julien added, "Scarlett, a word.""Well, at least it isn't me this time," Lacey said to herself as she jogged off with her young warriors. She was tired of Scar and her antics. If Lacey had anything to say about it, Scar's days in the pack were numbered.The day was uneventful, and her warriors did a wonderful job. The young warriors had trained with Kodiak while she was away, and they had blossomed under his guidance. It was true that it takes a village to raise a child... and it takes a pack to raise a wolf-shifter. "Okay, everyone!" Lacey announced at the end of the day. "Gather r

When the meeting was over, Julien took Lacey's hand and led her up the stairs headed toward their suite. "Lacey, we need to talk," he said, looking sexy as his eyes filled with concern.A crease formed between her eyes. "Okay." She took a few more steps, trying to keep up with his long strides. Obviously, the thought of having to take down his brother was weighing on him heavily. Lacey gave his hand a gentle squeeze. "Julien, are you okay?"He nodded. "We'll talk in our suite." It was the first time that he had acknowledged that it was their suite together, and not just his. He pulled her in and then closed the door. Then he walked over to the bar and poured himself a bourbon on the rocks and downed it. Then he poured another and held it up to her. "Want one?"Lacey shook her head. "No, thank you. I'll have a glass of wine, but I'll get it."Julien shook his head and smiled, already taking a long-stemmed glass from the cabinet. "No, it'll give me something to do." Then he crossed the r
The Alpha's Companion Chapter 64: Time Alone
After practice the next day, Lacey is packing up when Julien surprised her by wrapping his arms around her from behind."I thought we could have dinner together tonight in the small dining hall," Julien whispered into her ear.Lacey was taken aback by his public display of affection, but pack members smiled as they walked past, obviously approving the match. "Sounds good," she replied, leaning back against his chest, knowing it may be the last chance they had to enjoy their time together before the next Wildclaw attack. But she refused to think about it, wanting to have this one night together. But hopefully not their last."Ready?" Julien raised an eyebrow. When she nodded, he laid his arm across her shoulders and said. "Let's go." When they were inside, Julien gently kissed her forehead. "Why don't you go upstairs and relax. I'm going to speak with the chef.Lacey gave him one last hug. "Okay, but don't be long."Julien chuckled. "Yes, ma'am." Then he gave her another smile over his
The Alpha's Companion Chapter 65: Pregnant?
Lacey was so tired that she hated to move from the bed but started feeling hungry. In fact, more than hungry; she was famished. "Give me a minute and I'll be ready to go to dinner.""No." He held her tightly to him like a life-sized doll. "But the chef—""Will keep it warm," Julien finished. But then her stomach grumbled loudly, giving her away. He raised up and looked at her. "See? I told you that you were pregnant!""What?" Lacey asked, pushing against his shoulder playfully. "When your stomach growls, it means you're hungry, not pregnant.""Well, let's examine the facts, shall we?" He pulled her to his chest again."You're enjoying this.""Immensely." Then he leaned back, feigning that he was thinking. "Now... where was I? Oh, yeah! Exhibit one!" He held up one finger. "You were so tired that you fell asleep when you came upstairs, when usually, you could still jog around the block after a full day of working out.""But—"He held up two fingers, stopping her. "Exhibit two! Your sto
The Alpha's Companion Chapter 66: Warning Brock
"Good morning," Julien breathed into her ear the next morning, waking her to the start of a new day.Lacey turned over and yawned. "Good morning." Then she looked around and there was too much daylight streaming in through the door leading to the living room. "Oh, no! We've overslept!"Julien smiled. "No, you needed to rest. I asked Kodiak to take over the training for the young warriors for today so you could rest.""No, I have to work—""You've been burning the candle at both ends for too long." Then he gave her a long, lingering kiss. "Today, you need to rest.""Julien, I really don't think I'm—""Whether or not you're pregnant has nothing to do with it," he breathed, as he got up out of bed. "Now. Take a day off and rest from your trip. That's an order." Then he pointed at her and smiled as he headed toward the shower.Lacey turned over and curled up with her pillow. If he treated her like this for too long, it would drive her absolutely crazy. But then again, one day off couldn't
