I can feel their heartbeats change pace, they are coming for me without even a thought for anyone else and I can't decide if that is sweet or stupid. There is so much more to deal with and Mike is here for me. They could be saving rogues and getting help to our warriors while Mike is busy talking to me, because one thing I know is he's going to talk and talk and talk. He should be a cartoon villain with the way he likes to monologue.

"Did you break her in for me yet? I was really hoping she would be primed and ready when I finally came for her." Mike saunters up flanked by two wolves. Their eyes are red, but they don't look confused or scared. These guys want to be here. They volunteered for this bullshit.

Dakota moves behind me, wrapping an arm protectively around my waist again and I let him pull me back to his body. I definitely feel safer and stronger like this. He's smart enough to know not to say anything yet, though.

"Are you ready to come home, Skylar?"

"I am home, Mike. Leave and take your pack of jackasses with you. Stop harassing our pack."

"Oh no, I must have my Luna and you are the one that I have chosen. My mother has been planning a long time for you, I would hate to disappoint her. She is right, you are perfect. You will be the perfect Luna to sit by my side, to carry my children and make me the most powerful Alpha so I can take my rightful position as the Alpha King." Dakota's hands get tighter the more that Mike talks about how he wants to use me, but I can't hear any of it.

I start laughing uncontrollably. I have no idea where it is coming from, but with him right in front of me talking about how his mom wants to set us up, I can't help myself.

"I don't think I would have pegged you for a mama's boy." I keep laughing as Mike's face loses some of it's bravado. "You really let your mom tell you who you are going to mate with? I figured maybe your dad had some kind of expectations for you. I mean being second best probably really does suck. I wouldn't know though."
