'Come live in my heart and pay no rent.'-Sammuel Lover

A few weeks later...

"Good morning sunshine."

Rome said as Camille looked up at her mate... Oh, that word sounded so good.

"Good morning to you too."

Camille said as Rome kissed her forehead.

"It's good to be home."

Camille said as Rome nodded in agreement. Suddenly a howl went up in the distance. Camille read Rome's body language and tensed.

"What is it? What's wrong?"

Camille asks Rome to get up and put on his pants and threw her dress.

"Put it on. We need to leave now."

He said as she hurriedly pull the dress over her body and followed him out of the room.

"Rome what's happening?"

Camille asked as she saw her mom and dad already waiting for them. Her mom looked just as confused as she did. On instinct, there they both mirrored their mate's movement.

"A Mate Hunt is on the way, tonight's a new moon."

Logan explained as Camille made a confused face.

"I don't get it, Dad, what's a mate hunt?"

At the sound of that question, he felt his heart contract. He had missed so much. As the future Alpha of the park, she should be well aware of the pax customs and traditions. He felt so empty without them both here with him over the years. But it was no use crying over spilled milk, they were here now.

"A mate Hunt is the traditional way to find a mate. We join with the closest pack, in our case the silver backpack, in hope that more wolves may find mates."

Logan explained as Autumn turn to face him.

"What if you already have a mate? I mean I'm Luna, and you're my Alpha, do we still need to participate in the mate hunt?"

Autumn asked as Logan put her closer to him. Her cinnamon and cream said threatened to override all of the senses around him. All he wanted to do was take her butt to bed and never let her out for the next month or two.

"Unfortunately, we do."

Logan said as Camille sighed.

"Okay but that doesn't explain how exactly that is to happen and how we are going to do this in the middle of New York City?"

Autumn's asker got straight to the point, as Logan tried to think of a way to tell her what would happen without having her run back home to the city. Well, in actuality, it would be a bit ironic since that was where the hunt was happening.

"Okay, the mate hunt will happen in Central Park, New York City. It starts at midnight and just before dawn. It usually happens on rainy days so that it's less likely for humans to see us."

Logan said as he paused and watched Autumn swallow tensely. He smelt her pheromones changed one of fear and he started to kiss her neck softly until the scent changed to pleasure instead.

"I don't blame you for being a bit scared. Wolves are after all predators by nature and will hunt their prey. Especially if their prey smells as mouthwateringly delicious as you do to me. But do not fear, I am your Alpha and I will kill anyone who tries to even lay a finger on you."

Logan said as he continued to kiss her. Why should he stop after all she smelled so delicious cinnamon and cream. He just wanted to eat her, taste her, touch her. He could tell that she was aroused as if her being his mate wasn't enough of a turn-on already... Cinnamon and cream. He was drowning in the scent as if it was the only scent he could smell in the room. Trying his best to focus he continued his explanation.

"Afterwards the males give the female a 10-minute head start. Ask me for what?"

Logan demanded as his head started swimming in her exquisite scent. It was so strong and so distinct that he was sure he could tell it if he was miles away.

"What for?"

He heard the fear in her voice and longed to hold her closer for comfort. But she needed to understand what she was signing up for.

"To give them a fighting chance. Afterward, the males will shift to their wereform and go hunting for their mates."

Logan finishes Autumn tried to digest all he was saying.

"What about Camille?"

Autumn asked as Logan smiled.

"She doesn't have to worry, she has her mate. Isn't that right, Rome?"

Logan asks Rome went beside Camille.

"Of course. And do you know I will protect her with my life? Not only is she the Alpha's daughter, the future Alpha of this pack, but most importantly she is my mate. That is my job."

Rome said possessively as all three looked at Autumn.

"If I told you all something, promise you won't think less of me?"

Autumn asked as Logan shook his head.

"Well, I'm so scared right now that I feel so dizzy. I think I'm about to hurl."

Autumn said as she rushed to the bathroom close by Logan and her heels.

...

"Autumn, baby are you okay?"

Logan asked as he walked over to her and. held her hair up while she threw up in the bathroom.

"Go back outside Logan, you don't need to see this."

Autumn said as Logan smiled.

"In sickness and in health, remember?"

Logan said reciting a part of their wedding vows. The cinnamon and cream scent from her was killing him.

"I can't even remember the last time I felt so bad."

Autumn said that she sat on the edge of the bath

"Except..."

She says in a pose that she did a mental calculation of the date. She had missed her period 3 weeks ago. That would mean...

"Autumn, what's wrong? You look pale."

Logan said that she started to talk.

"I need to see Emily."

She said quickly as tried to get up.

"No, you stay right there, I'll call her. Is this about the mate hunt? If it makes you this sick I guess I could make up an excuse..."

Logan started as Autumn shook her head.

"No, it's not about that. Just call Emily please."

Autumn said as Logan obeyed and called Emily right away. Man, she was a bossy little thing. But right now she was a very sick bossy little thing and the fact that she wanted to see Emily and not him hurt a little... Well, a lot. But at this point, it was whatever his mate needed.

"Okay..."

Logan said feeling a little dejected. He took out his phone and dialed Emma this number and quickly explain the situation and hang up.

"She'll be here in less than a minute."

Logan said as a minute later Emily appeared at the door.

"What's wrong?"

Emily asked from the bathroom door, dressed in a man's shirt.
