It had been a terrible day at the office. Three Alphas were already on my back about the Luna ceremony and how Juniper was a danger to our race. I had explained over and over that she isn't who they think she is, but they weren't having it. They demanded I reject and kill her. That is when I lost it. 

"Say another thing remotely close to that and I will burn you!" I roared. "She's my Mate and I know her better than all of you. She is pure and innocent with the right intentions for my pack. Have you seen her with the pack's children? She is the chosen Luna for my pack and she will stay that way. If anyone has anything against that then consider us at war." 

I knew no one would speak up against me after that. No one that goes to war with an Alpha King ever lives. I had gotten an update on Juniper's old pack where Carter was now the Alpha and there were all sorts of problems coming from there. High infant mortality rates, barely any food, abundance of sicknesses, and so much more. I honestly think that making Carter the Alpha was a mistake. I was going to have to make a trip there again. 

I opened the door and was immediately greeted with the smell of chicken, fresh from the oven, laughter, and the warmness of home. I took in a deep breath and smiled. It didn't take away all of the stress of the day, but some of it was dulling. I closed the door behind me and walked to the kitchen. My Mate is standing there with Leslie, the head cook of the pack. 

"So you see how the skin is a darker brown instead of golden?" Juniper asked.

"Mhm."

"That's the way you want to cook it every time." 

"Fantastic! Thank you."

As Juniper went to set the table I pulled Leslie aside. "I thought you knew how to cook chicken."

"I do." 

"Then why..."

"She needs someone other than a man to talk to. We women need each other, you know." 

So yeah a short chapter😋Sorry
