Again, I am amused by her confidence around me. A confidence she doesn’t seem to have around anyone else. She’s feisty and cheeky and doesn’t step back even though I’m her Alpha.

I like it.

I like her strength, and I want to see more of it.

“Watch,” she declares boldly, taking a few strides away from me. “Look how I distribute my weight and where my power comes from,” she demands.

I fold my arms across my chest and nod. “I’m watching,” I grin.

She moves into position, squats, kicks off, leaps up higher than before, and spins to land neatly with her elbow raised and her knees bent. The entire move is executed with grace and perfection, and my wolf practically snarls in approval.

Jux prances, delighted by his mate's agility.

My body purrs, and my cock stirs, and when she turns to face me to gauge my reaction, I quickly have to hide my desire.

“Brilliant, yes, I see exactly what you mean. You should do it like that from now on,” I declare, turning away from herto grab my water bottle because I need something to distract myself.

“You think it’s better that way?”

“Yes, I do. Everything was perfect,” I agree a little too abruptly.

My cock is half erect, and I’m struggling to control my thoughts. Her scent suddenly seems ten times stronger, and Jux is going crazy.

Behind me, I hear Mira doing the move again, and I groan silently. “Sorry, I have to cut this session short. I just remembered I need to respond to some requests the elders sent through late Friday. It's due tomorrow and I completely forgot about it,” I say.

“Oh, that’s ok. It was a great session. Are we jogging back? You can run ahead, I know I slow you down,” she grins, glowing.

“I’ll see you back at home,” I nod, smiling tightly, hoping she doesn’t notice how I haven’t turned my body toward her.

“See you at home,” she calls out as I hurry away.

Chapter 13 - Mira

The whole compound is excited about today’s planned event. It’s the first time ever that the Omegas are going with their Alpha on a real hunt. Jace is taking all of them with him this morning, and I’m jealous I can’t be there to join in, but I have too much to do at the lab.

Even at work, the girls who don’t train are talking about it.

“It’s incredible. He’s an amazing Alpha. I’ve never heard of leaders letting the Omega women take such a strong role,” I overhear some girls chatting over coffee in the cafeteria.

It makes me smile. I’m proud of my husband. My Alpha.

He is doing incredible things for this pack, and even though our relationship is more business than anything else, it still makes me proud to be with him. It’s interesting that through his actions, I’ve begun to view the pack differently. I’m starting to feel like I’m part of it, too.

“What time will they come in from the hunt?” someone asks. I turn toward the group of girls. “They’ll be back at three this afternoon,” I tell them.

“Do you think we can get out of work a little early. We want to be there when they return. It's super exciting to have the first female hunting pack,” she says excitedly.

“Sure,” I grin. “I wouldn’t mind being there either.”

Just before three, it feels like the entire compound is moving in the direction of the forest. Everyone is babbling withexcitement to see what they caught and talking about the feast we’ll have this evening with the fresh kill.

Some of the pack have shifted to wolf form and are skirting up and down the edge of the tree line, wanting to run in with the pack when they arrive.

Several howls erupt in the forest, and the excitement shoots up tenfold. Electricity fills the air as anticipation grows.

“They’re here!” someone shouts.
