Declan watched Alyssa warm up from the corner of his eye while he while he stood in the corner of the sparring area talking with Connor.

"How's Evan assimilating with the pack? Any one causing trouble for the young boy?" Declan asked. After Kevin had been killed, the young man had asked to join his pack, and was quickly allowed since he had no other family.

"No, no problems. He's been given a room on the third floor with a couple of boys around his own age. They've been keeping an eye on him for us, and report he's helping out with their chores, he's even about to start school next week," Connor replied with a slight bit of pride.

"That's good. What about the pack? Anyone willing to become his guardians and provide for the boy?"

"Actually, you aren't going to believe this, but Verona has stepped forward. She's formed a bond with the kid while asking him how he got through our perimeter. She said he's been a big help in trying to strengthen our defenses."

"That is surprising! I didn't think she even liked kids," Declan chuckled.

"She doesn't usually, but I think this is mainly because Evan is already past the dirty diapers, potty training, and all that crap," Connor laughed as well. "Speaking of diapers, when should we expect the pitter-patter of tiny paws around here?"

"Easy, Conn," Declan said with a full bellied laugh, "we're taking this slow. I don't want to scare her or hurt her by doing something she's not ready for."

"Trust me, if she's not ready now, she will be soon," Connor told his best friend. "The way she's staring at you, and with how she was about to rip Marie's head off earlier, she won't be long."

Declan glanced over at Alyssa and saw Connor was right. His mate was staring at him, her eyes full of lust as well as love. He could feel his wolf stirring in response to her gaze, and sauntered over to her. Alyssa wrapped her arms around his neck and raised herself into her tiptoes when he got closer and gave him a light kiss. She chuckled when she heard a deep rumbling coming from his chest as he deepened the kiss.

She felt him asking permission to enter her mouth with his tongue and willingly opened her lips, allowing him access. She could feel liquid heat pooling low in her belly as their tongues fought for dominance before he took control. When they finally broke the kiss, they were both panting for air.

Declan rested his forehead against Alyssa's as he tried to regain control of himself. His wolf was so close to the surface, and he didn't want to frighten her. "Baby girl, you have no idea what you do to me," he whispered.

"Oh, but I think I do, Mr. McConnell. You do the same to me," she told him, causing his eyes to shoot open. Her eyes were sparkling as he gazed into them, and he noticed her cheeks were flushed as well. Taking a deep breath, he felt himself stiffen as the scent of her arousal hit him, and he groaned. "You're killing me here, Lys," he continued to whisper.

Alyssa smiled at the man who held her in his arms and quickly glanced around the room. Spotting Verona, Alyssa concentrated on the young woman. 'Verona,' she thought at her, wondering if she could mind link to anyone other than Declan before the petite brunette jerked her head around, eyes wide as they landed on her.

'Alyssa? What- how- what?!' She heard the other woman shriek through the link.

Alyssa's smile widened as she turned back to Declan and thought to her new friend, "Sorry girl, but this will have to wait. I need to spend some time with my man!' and she jumped up, wrapping her legs around Declan's waist.
