Chapter 428

he gets out of his car. He looks around before coming over, bringing his daughter with him.

Chapter 0428 “Alpha Eli, Luna Grace, allow me to introduce my daughter, Anastasia.”

We spend the evening getting to know Anastasia and spending time with Alpha Christopher. He is interested in what we’ve been doing with the pack and Eli gives him a tour. Anastasia is very sweet, but not what I’d expect from an Alpha female. She’s very proper, what you might consider gentile. Or maybe, that’s how most Alpha females are, and I’m the one that doesn’t lit the mold.

Either way, she’s very nice and | hope she finds her mate this weekend.

The next morning. | check in with Cammy and Melinda. They will make sure that we have enough food for the nearly 400 unmated pack members and sprites that will be here this evening. I'm finishing my review of the food and drink menu when |

hear the front door of the packhouse open.

“Hello? Grace? Your sisters are here and ready to shop!” | hear Cara and Angel singing as they come in the door. | head out to meet them, rushing over to my sisters and having a group hug.

“Let me grab my bag and we can head out. Oh but, | still don’t know how to drive, so one of you has to drive, unless you want to walk?”

“Let's walk, | want to see what you have going on in the pack.” Cara says.

“Yeah, Liam says you've got all sorts of buildings going up, not just homes.” Angel adds.

So, we walk around the pack, | show them the hospital, the homes that have been built as we walk to Main Street. They start in the market, buying bags of food. Then we go into Jeremy's store where he has a couple of items on display, showing what he and his employees can build. They both put in orders for desks and chairs, even knowing that it will be a couple of months before he can get to it. Angel puts in an order for a crib as well.

“Won't Richie be too old for a crib by the time it’s done?” | ask her.

“Richie will be, but this little one won't.” She says, rubbing her stomach.

Cara and | squeal and hug her again. “Congratulations!”

“Thank you!”

“It was when Liam carried you into the forest at the tournament, wasn't it?” Cara asks, narrowing her eyes at her.

She just shrugs. “It was definitely at the tournament, but | don’t know if it was that time or not. Either way, we’re pretty certain this one is going to be a girl.”

“How do you know?” | ask.

+15 DONOS “Liam could smell Richie almost immediately. He can’t get a good scent on this little one. We think it's because she has a scent similar to mine.” She explains. Maia agrees, but she can smell the increased scent of raspberries. Definitely a girl.

We start walking next door to Anna’s clothing store. “Well, that’s good. Maybe this one will look remotely like you. If you hadn’t birthed Richie, no were his mom.” Caral cave says.

ne would believe..

“| know! But | love having a little version of Liam. I'll be thrilled if my little girl is happy and healthy. | don’t care who she looks like.” She says as we walk into the store.

Immediately, Cara and Angel are entranced with the items that Anna has been able to put together and place on her racks.

Having several new employees has definitely helped her inventory. After putting in orders for their children, a couple outfits for Angel's newest baby and an outfit for each of them, the three of us head back to the packhouse.

We meet up with Rik, Liam, Eli, Alpha Christopher and Anastasia for dinner. The area behind the packhouse has been decorated for the mate gathering and there is music, lights and areas for people to meet, talk and eat. There are several sprites in attendance and some quickly obvious mate matches.

As Eli expected, Anastasia’s presence has caused quite a stir, but as the night goes on, it doesn’t appear that her mate is here.

She's gracious and kind, but you can tell she’s disappointed.

“Well, it was worth a shot, and it looks like some of my other pack members found their mates tonight, so it’s not a total loss.”

Alpha Christopher says as the evening begins to die down. Mates have gone off to get to know each other or to complete their mate bond. Some sprites seem to have found wolf mates as well.

“Alpha Christopher, you and Anastasia are welcome to come to all our events. We will be moving them around to the different packs and you never know if her mate hasn't reached adulthood yet, or maybe couldn’t make it to tonight’s event.” | tell him.

He smiles kindly. “Thank you.” I’m not sure if he'll take us up on the offer or not. He seems as disappointed as his daughter.

We say goodnight and Eli and | head up to bed.
