Big Bad Alphas novel Chapter 8

"Came with you? You were running from him?"

A spark of amusement appears on my mate's face. "No mom, he... He's my mate," I explain lowly so Kendra will not hear.

In a flash, her eyes grow wide and her mouth hangs slightly open. "Mate!" She shouts. "Your mate, how?"

"Mate?" Kendra gazes at me with big doe-like eyes of innocence. "Like mom and dad were?"

I feel my throat begin to close up and just to make the situation better another person emerges from the hut. My Luna. "What is going on out... Alpha Tate." She states and straightens up. "I thought I smelt a wild dog."

I curse under my breath.

"Luna, I thought I saw your Alpha struggling out there." He comes closer. "I was going to take your land, but seeing how the tides have changed I'll leave it for you to pick up the broken pieces."

"I would thank you, but knowing you, there must be a catch."

I grab Kendra and hold her close while trying to keep the blanket over me.

"No catch, not this time anyways. My mother would be terribly disappointed if I ruined the pack of someone so attached to me." He explains calmly.

My Luna chuckles. "Someone attached to you, and from my pack? What is this some kind of joke? Are you trying to humor me?"

"Humor? No."
