“My parents crossed the border,” Hunter said as he entered the kitchen.

My heart sped up a little. I could feel Logan’s nervousness growing.

“Where is Fia?” Alex asked worriedly.

“She wanted to freshen up,” Hunter said as he approached me. “Do you need any help?”

I smiled at him. He was a well-raised young man. He would be an amazing mate to my daughter, I was completely sure of it. I knew that the Goddess had her reasons why she decided to bond him to my daughter.

“It’s okay, Hunter,” I said. “Please sit down. Logan will get you a cup of coffee.”

He nodded and smiled back at me.

I looked at my son. He was staring at the kitchen door with a worried look on his face.

She is okay, Alex.I mind-linked him.

This one was bad, mom.My son said.It was worse than the others. I don’t know how she came back from it.

She did because she has you, Alex.I said softly.You were amazing and you helped her once again.

Alex didn’t respond. He kept his eyes on the kitchen door. I sighed and glanced at my mate. He was handing a cup of coffee to Hunter.

“Will Beta Andrew and his family come to meet my parents?” Hunter asked.

Both Logan and I gave him a small nod.

“They will come by a little bit later,” Logan said. “We thought it would be best if it was just us for now.”

I heard footsteps walking down the stairs. Alex jumped up and ran out of the kitchen.

I glanced at Hunter who had a small smile on his face.

“I am so happy that she has someone who cares about her this much,” Hunter mumbled quietly.

I smiled and looked back down at the eggs I was making.

“They are inseparable,” Logan said. “They can fight endlessly, but they love each other the most in this world.”

They really did. It was funny sometimes. When they fought, I sometimes thought that they would end up killing each other. They could scream at each other endlessly. They could fight with each other until their last breath. But if anyone else dared to fight with either one of them, they would make you regret it. No one else was allowed to scream at Sophie, and no one else was allowed to fight with Alex. They were incredibly protective of each other.

“I am glad,” Hunter said. “I know that I will always be able to count on him to keep her safe.”

“You will,” Logan said. “Not just on him. You can count on everyone in this family and in this pack to keep her safe.”

I heard a car pull up in our driveway. My heart raced a little.

Nathan and his family were here.

I could feel Logan’s nervousness grow.

Everything is going to be okay.I mind-linked him.

He didn’t respond, but I heard him approaching me. I turned the stove off and took a deep breath. I felt Logan’s hand in mine. I turned around to look at him.

“Everything is going to be okay,” I said, smiling at him.

He nodded and pressed his lips against mine.
