Nina liked him for trying to ease the tension for her. Yes, in Bellevue, as a
matter of fact. She deftly blocked Lex s attempt to put three rolls on her
plate, taking one and passing them on to Cade, who winked at her as he took
the basket.

Her shop is about three miles from the coffee shop, Lex said and frowned at
her when she stabbed his hand with a fork when he tried to put another
spoonful of potatoes on her plate.
Nina looked down the table. No less than four people rushed to ask her what
she needed.
Green vegetables? Salad? Nina looked at the food laid out on the table.
They all looked at her blankly until Tracy laughed. We ll have to lay in
supplies of green vegetables for you. Wolves aren t much for salad.
Oh my goodness! Let me run to the store, one of the wolves down at the far
end of the table called out.
No! It s okay, really. Nina held her hand up to stay her.
Are you sure? Cade asked.
Of course. Sheesh, I was just looking for some green beans, I didn t mean to
start anything. She barely held back her snarky comment but she didn t want
to challenge his authority here with his Pack.
Lex kissed her temple. We ll be sure to provide them for you next time.
She smiled at him and looked back to Eric. So anyway, yes, I own a floral
shop. I
know Carter runs one coffee shop and Melissa the other, what do you do?
Oh, I help with the construction business. I do accounts payable and
receivable and the ordering.
Carter steamed as he watched them all. He smiled and made nice but he couldn t
believe he d been made to prostrate himself like that before Cade and over a
human!
She was pretty hot, though. He d lay odds she d be a tiger in the sack. Maybe
he d order the Rogues to subdue her so he could have a bit of quality time
with her before he killed her.
That would be win-win for him because the grief, even with the tri-bond, would
drag Lex down and he could be killed too, leaving Cade vulnerable. Maybe
Carter would be running this Pack six months from now.
After they finished dinner, they got up and moved into the large living room
where they mingled and Nina met the other Pack members who were there. It was
nice that
Tracy and Layla and Sid were there and their other sisters Megan and Tegan
were part of the guard. It was a relief to have friendly faces that she knew
were in her corner.
Lex kept looking toward the door until Nina finally rolled her eyes and
sighed.
Jeez, what is it already? You keep looking at that door and it s working my
last nerve.
I need to go deal with something. Pack business. I m going to get Megan over
here before I do though.
Megan was part of Cade s guard but she was also being chatted up by a very
cute wolf at the other end of the room. Nina put a hand out to stop him. Oh
for heaven s sake! I m surrounded by your family, I ll be fine. I ll find
someone to talk to. Which was part of their plan anyway.

He looked around and then back at her. I ll be back in five minutes. Just
don t leave this room.

Okay, Dad. I won t run with scissors either.
He tried not to smile and failed. God, she was so totally irreverent. He
dropped a kiss on her lips and left the room.
You re a lucky girl, one of the women who d had a not-so-friendly face on
said as she sidled up to Nina. You hit the jackpot with Lex.
Yes, well. I think so. Nina smiled and resisted cracking on the cow, who was
totally asking for it.
He s very good in bed.
Nina smiled. Yes, I know.
This must be so awkward for you, being the only human here and all.
Surrounded by people who all know your& man, better than you, Red said with a
pout.
A laugh burst from Nina s lips. Not as awkward as it must be for you. Honey,
please. If you bent around any harder trying to let me know you fucked Lex to
try and make me feel bad, you d be a pretzel. Although you re about as smart
as one.
Red s eyes narrowed and she moved in to try and menace Nina with her body.
Well! I was just trying to be friendly. It s not my fault Lex can t get
enough women in his bed. He particularly likes the way I give head. I m sure
that it won t be a threat to your mate bond when he seeks me out. After all,
you re only human. You can t possibly give him what he needs.
Nina didn t move an inch. Look, Floozy McSkank, get the fuck out of my face
