Phoebe said after a time.
Jason sighed, “No. After the attack I might have said some things that made Alpha Graham order me off his territory. I wasn’t leaving you behind.”
“What about the pups? The rogues?”
“The pups are fine. My warriors took care of the rogues,” Jason said anticipating her next question. “Cam and Noah are fine. In fact Noah even managed to find his mate. A nurse, your friend I believe.”
“Bridget?” Phoebe asked and smiled. “They’re mates?”
“Yes. She came with us too.”
Phoebe’s expression became pensive. She was happy for Bridget but she had hoped the nurse would take care of Blake and Emma in her stead. Phoebe couldn’t help but be concerned for their well-being.
“My mother has the pups now, in case you’re wondering,” Jason said again sensing her concern.
“Pardon?”
“Blake and Emma. They’re with my mother. Shes probably stuffing them full of sugar right now.”
“They’re here? How? Why?”
“Because they are precious to you and anything precious to you is precious to me, angel!”
“… thought males don’t like to care for pups that aren’t their own.”
“Angel, if you want to adopt fifty pups l’d have no objections. My only request is that we would have a few of our own too.”
Phoebe blushed earning a fond chuckle from him as he kissed her nose. He smiled at her, loving her reactions and catching the spicy note of her scent again. After a moment his smile faded.
“Angel, why didn’t you tell me Alpha Graham was your first mate?”
Phoebes expression became pensive again. She had avoided the topic for so long she honestly didn’t know how to approach it any more. Finally she said, “I never told anyone…not even my parents.”
“Bridget?”
“I only told her that I was rejected but not by who. I just… didn’t want to think about him.”
“And that’s why you avoided the packhouse?”
Phoebe nodded looking away. Jason curled a finger under his chin and turned her to face him again. His gaze was warm and possessive.
“It’s not going to be like that here, angel. Never hide your pain from me. I have to know where you hurt before I can kiss it away.”
He captured her mouth. His tongue slipped into her mouth twisting around hers. He felt her hesitant fingers run through his hair sending electric charges through him.
Groaning Jason finally released her mouth and forced a heavy breath staring into her shimmering eyes.
“You are very dangerous in the morning, angel.”
She shyly smiled earning her another quick kiss before his eyes suddenly glazed over. Phoebe watched and waited knowing someone was mindlinking him. She enjoyed this relaxed morning and hated for it to be interrupted but he was alpha so it was to be expected.
Jason growled shaking his head before looking down at her again with a smile, “My sister. She wanted to know when I’m going to stop hogging you and let the pack meet their Luna. Do you think you’re ready?”
Phoebe forced a nervous breath. She couldn’t put if off forever if she intended to stay with Jason. Looking at her crumpled clothing she said, “I think I should shower first… and change…if I want to make a good first impression.”
“You could never not make a good impression, angel,”
Jason nuzzled her but stood and helped her up.
She winced as she put weight on her injured leg. His arms immediately wrapped around her holding her protectively.
“Are you okay, angel?”
“Yeah, just a little sore.”
“Do you want me to carry you?”
“No. I should walk.”
Jason kissed her temple before escorting her to the bathroom. He grabbed towels from the linen closet and set them on the sink counter. Phoebe’s expression become pensive again as she pulled up her pants leg to look at the bandage.
“What should I do about this?”
He looked at the wrap before rummaging in the cupboard under the double sink. Pulling out a trash bag he asked, ” What do you think?”
“Oh, that’s perfect. Thank you.”
“These are the controls. This is to change the water feature.
Here is the temp and this is for the sound system in case you want music. All right?”
She nodded.
“Need any help?”
“No.” Phoebe blushed before shooing him out.
Phoebe shook her head before carefully pulling down her pants to really look at her leg for the first time. It was securely wrapped which was certainly Bridget’s work.
‘Máni, are you all right?’
‘Silver is never a pleasant experience, her wolf sighed.
