Lucille gave Phoebe a sympathetic smile, “I swear he doesn’t know the first thing about moderation.”
Phoebe chuckled. Jason seemed incapable of balancing work and play. Though running late on such an important night didn’t seem to surprise everyone else who considered him a workaholic she couldn’t help but feel it was her fault in some way.
Well, yes and no, Máni said. You two have been going at it pretty steadily.’
What do you mean? I assumed it was because our bond was new.’
‘Well, yes. But we’re also approaching the full moon.’
‘So?’
T already told you. We are only fertile on our heat cycles that coincide with the full moon so it’s natural that our mate would have an enhanced libido during that time.
‘But…l’m not in heat.’
‘So?’
Phoebe caught Máni’s meaning. Even if she wasn’t in heat Jason would still be affected by the full moon and desire her even more strongly. That would mean he would also become more protective since he wouldn’t want another male near her during those times.
‘Bingo. Now you get it.’
‘Does this mean he’ll calm down after the full moon?’
Possessive wise? Probably. But he likes making us call his name so probably not in bed. So don’t worry.
Phoebe fought her blush. That wasn’t what she was worried about.
‘Mhmm. Sure…’
“Something the matter?” Lucile asked.
Phoebe shook her head, “Just a disagreement with my wolf.”
Lucille nodded. Just because their wolf spirits were part of them didn’t mean they always agreed. After hearing about Phoebe’s situation from her brother any interaction Phoebe had with her wolf was an important achievement.
“What do you think you are doing?!”
Phoebe jerked to attention at the harsh voice and saw a she wolf towering over her pups. Since arriving at Blue Moon Blake and Emma had enjoyed an easy, carefree life.
No pack member would think about threatening them.
“Do you know how expensive this dress is?”
“We didn’t mean to bump into you,” Blake said picking up his sister who had fallen during the collision. “We were just playing.”
“Playing? I’ll show you play!”
“That won’t be necessary,” Phoebe said barely keeping the growl out of her voice as she quickly approached.
“Mommy!” Emma ran up to her hugging her leg.
“These are your spawn?” the she wolf demanded as Blake joined his sister under their adoptive mother’s protection.
“They are my pups, yes,” Phoebe corrected warily eyeing her.
She was several inches taller though that meant little to Phoebe used to facing wolves taller than herself. The she-wolf had a voluptuous figure with breasts and hips that would turn just about any male’s head especially when crammed into her short, red dress. Her auburn hair was silky smooth and framed a narrow but pleasing face. She would have been beautiful if not for her scowl.
“They ran into me and nearly knocked me over. What if I bruise?”
“I think you will survive,” Phoebe answered evenly much to the she-wolf’s shock.
Phoebe had always been the first to back down whenever conflict arose because of her low rank much to Mani’s consternation. Now that she was Luna it was becoming easier to stand up against unreasonable wolves. She might have a gentle nature but she certainly wouldn’t tolerate anyone threatening her pups.
“Kids, say you’re sorry for bumping into this…lady.”
“We’re sorry. We’ll be more careful,” they said in unison.
“Apology not accepted.”
“Well, that really isn’t our problem is it?” Phoebe said shooing the pair towards Lucille. “Go back to your aunt and uncle you two.”
“Hang on!” the she-wolf demanded. “That’s it! You’re not going to punish them?”
Phoebe calmly looked at her, “Apologizing to you was punishment enough.”
“Why you-“
“Daddy!” Blake and Emma suddenly squealed.
The room fell silent as Jason entered. Before he could apologize for his tardiness two small forms ran up to him with their arms open wide. Chuckling, he scooped up the pair of pups and nuzzled each in turn. After a week of awkwardness Jason now had a comfortable familiarity with the pups. His scent was firmly established with theirs and since they spent the majority of their day with Phoebe her scent was also strongly entwined with theirs and the combination was rather addictive.
“Daddy, you’re late,” Emma loudly declared.
“I know. I’m sorry about that. It won’t happen again,” Jason said earning a few chuckles around the room from his pack mates. No doubt it was quite amusing to see one of the most powerful alphas being chastised by a little pup.
“You better not or you’ll be in trouble,” Emma warned earning another round of laughter. “Right, mommy?”
Jason looked to see Phoebe approaching and nearly dropped the siblings. Her hair had been crimped to give it more body and partially tamed in a half-up do. She wore a classic, little black dress showing off her shapely legs. The neckline was square with wide shoulder straps and dipped just low enough to tease him with the swell of her breasts.
All of her shapely curves were on display and he cursed himself for not asking ahead of time so he could mentally prepare to see her looking so sultry. No doubt that was Lucille’s intention. It was going to be a long night.
“You’re late,” Phoebe said as he carefully set the pups down before pulling her close.
