I hug Violet once we are back at the Beta suite, her scent so strong and alluring right now, but I try to behave, knowing we have so much to do! We need to pack and get things ready to move tomorrow. We need to get into the Beta house, where they can guard us effectively. They think we can be better protected there, so I am happy for us to move there. Anywhere that my mate will be safer I am willing to go. No matter how hard work that brings, I am willing to do it.

So when she moves herself away from me, I don’t take offense...
