But, based on the responsibilities she had taken on from her father and the huge amount of guilt she was carrying around, he was surprised she hadn’t collapsed sooner.
    Ben leaned down and kissed her forehead. When he looked up, he froze when he saw everyone at the table was staring at him. “What?”
    “I never thought I would see the day when Benjamin Sullivan became a whipped man.” Ryan leaned back against his overly large mate’s chest and smirked as he said it.
    Ben scoffed and hoped his friends didn’t smell his lie. “I’m not whipped. I just didn’t know having a mate would feel like this.” He looked down at his mate. For someone who had vowed never to mate, he couldn’t imagine going back to his life without her, even considering the short amount of time they’d been together.
    “You’re stuck with her now, buddy, so get used to it.” Mitch grumbled when Tessa jabbed him in the ribs with her elbow. “They come in and eat all of your food, they wake you up from your naps at all hours of the day, and then they steal your spot in the sunshine.”
    Ben laughed at Mitch. The lion was always in a bad mood. He preferred to be alone rather than in a pride, but Ben knew he wouldn’t give up his mate or cub for anything in the world. “For someone who ran away from home to get away from being in a pride, you sure are adding to yours awfully fast. When were you going to tell me Tessa was pregnant?”
    That got a huge grin out of Mitch. “It was my glorious mane. She couldn’t resist it.”
    Tessa snorted, but Ben noticed her rubbing her fingers through Mitch’s hair at the nape of his neck. “Congrats to you guys. I’m truly happy for you.”
    Ben looked down at his mate cradled in his arms. What would it be like if she was carrying my pups?
    His wolf agreed. Yeah, let’s do that. Then I could have lots of little wolves to play with.
    The thought didn’t send Ben running and screaming from commitment like he’d thought it would. His mate was beautiful, and he could only imagine a daughter with the dark chocolate hair and thick eyelashes fanning her cheeks. He hoped she would have her mother’s violet eyes as well. Ben could imagine himself and all his friends standing around growling and glaring at any male who thought he was worthy of dating his daughter.
    Smiling, Ben decided that was what he wanted. He wanted to go out on missions and then return home to his mate and pups waiting for him at the door. In order to do that, he needed to eliminate Percival. “Okay, guys, we need to figure out Percival’s next move. I have a feeling he is going to stop at nothing to get his top chemist back, and I can’t let that happen. I’m not letting my mate go without a fight.”
    His wolf agreed. She’s ours. Nobody can have her.
    “You know we’ll do anything we can to help.” Mitch looked him directly in the eyes. “You protected my mate without question when I needed you to. I would do the same for you in a heartbeat.”
    Ben nodded. Mitch was known as a notoriously selfish bastard in the shifter world, but there was no one else Ben would have rather had by his side. Ken and Ryan were a close second. “Okay, first off, we need to find out if we can track Percival to where he’s hiding now. He’s more than likely moved from the bunker he held me in by now because he wouldn’t risk me coming back with more enforcers. Ryan, do you think you can get on the computer and pull up any records of land he owns or bought recently? The file from all the information I found on him should still be there.” When Ryan nodded, Ben continued. “Mitch, I need you to go through the information in Jacqi’s bag. She said she had flash drives in there with all of her work saved on them and files from Percival’s computer. See if you can find out what his next big plan is.”
    Ben looked at Ken. He was more of the silent warrior type. He never said much, but the man was a genius. If anyone could do this next task it
