laughter and motioned to Kajakti.
“Let’s go. I think you’ve pushed it long enough.”
    His alpha left the living room with Kajakti on his heels.
Wachei breathed a silent sigh of relief. He and Kajakti were going to have a
little talk later. He also needed to get back at him for the kissing stunt he’d
pulled.
    “Why don’t you two take a seat while we’re waiting for
everyone?” Cassidy motioned to the empty spaces on the couch.
    Wachei and Eryn did as she suggested after he shrugged off
his bow and quiver and placed them on the floor near where he was going to sit.
He kept his fingers linked with Eryn’s and rested their joined hands on his
lap. It didn’t take too long for his wolf brothers to arrive. He was pleased to
see Kajakti had shifted to his human form while outside.
    After the introductions were made, everyone sat either on
the unoccupied furniture or cross-legged on the carpeted floor. Cassidy was the
one who got the conversation flowing.
    “How did the bow practice go?” she asked.
    “Not bad,” Wachei replied.
    Eryn shook her head. “He’s being nice. I could barely hit
the tree he had me aiming for.”
    “It’s not something you’ll excel at after one day,” Edensaw
said. “It took us years to shoot with the accuracy we now have.”
    “So you all hunt with a bow?”
    “Most of the time, yes.”
    “And don’t forget about our spears,” Durlach said. “We hunt
with those as well.”
    Eryn gave Durlach a confused look. “Spears? Really? Isn’t
that like from the Stone Age or something? I’ve never heard of anyone actually
using them in this day and age.”
    Wachei realized Durlach’s mistake as soon as the words had
left his wolf brother’s mouth, but he had no idea how to fix it. Luckily for
him, Cassidy came to the rescue.
    “Ah, the guys like to make the weapons their ancestors would
have used. They even have handmade bows. They’re all Tlingit.”
    “So it’s a hobby. That’s different.”
    “What’s a hobby?” Capac asked.
    Not sure what it meant himself, and seeing how Eryn stared
at Capac strangely, Wachei decided it was probably best to have his mate leave
before another one of his wolf brothers did or said something they shouldn’t.
At least not until Wachei had told Eryn the truth about himself.
    He stood and tugged her up with him. “I’m sure Eryn would
like to leave. I’ll walk her to the door.”
    Before Eryn could say anything, Wachei had them walking out
of the living room and to the front door. He stopped once they stood in front
of it and took Eryn into his arms. He claimed her lips in a kiss that said he
was going to miss her when she was gone. And he was. He wanted nothing more
than to take her up to his bedroom and make love to her fully to make them
mates. After spending the day with Eryn and experiencing the pleasure she could
give him, he ached for all of it. And the thought of being parted from her had
his mating urge digging its claws into him deeper.
    He lifted his head, reluctantly ending the kiss, and looked
into Eryn’s eyes. “I want to see you again tomorrow.”
    She smiled as she pressed herself closer. “Definitely. I
want to see you too. Maybe we can hang out here. That way I won’t have to worry
about my knucklehead brothers trying to interfere.”
    “Sure, we can do that.” Wachei would just have to make sure
no one slipped up or pretended to be the family pet while she was here.
    “And I have to say your roommates are really nice. I think
Cassidy and I will get along well.”
    “Good. I’m sure Cassidy will like having you around. She
always says she feels outnumbered with all us men around.”
    Eryn chuckled. “I bet. It would be even worse than how I
felt growing up being the only sister to two brothers. I can relate.”
    “I suppose you can,” Wachei said with a smile. “What time
can I expect you tomorrow?”
    “How about after lunch?”
    “All right. I’ll be here.”
    Wachei took Eryn’s hand again and walked
