“Were you sniffing me?” He starts shaking his head really fast. “Because I'm sure | stink. | need another shower.”
“You don’t stink. You smell great.” He says and a dopey, lovesick smile spreads across his face.
| see Amy and Chloe smirking, looking at each other. They are enjoying making their Beta uncomfortable. It's
probably a rare occurrence.
“So, what great smell does she have Beta?” Chloe picks up the line of questioning. “Strawberries.” He says
reverently and their smiles could light up the room.
“Amy?” Chloe says, turning to her friend and | see the devilish twinkle in her eye. “Do you remember that time
that Beta Dustin went around and stole all the strawberries out of the fruit bowls that were set out for that
important Alpha meeting we had here?”
Amy is nodding her head vigorously. “I definitely do. | believe that was the day that we all realized that no one
gets in between our Beta and his strawberries.” Dustin looks like he wants the earth to swallow him whole, poor
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSarah looks totally confused and it’s all | can do to keep from laughing out loud.
“Well, I just cto see if you were okay Sarah. If you're good, I've got work to do for Liam.” Dustin says in a
rush to leave.
“Okay, bye Dustin.” She says. He looks at her for a moment, before leaning in and kissing her forehead then
turning on his heel and leaving.
As soon as he’s gone, Amy and Chloe burst into laughter. Sarah looks from them to me. “What?”
That's all it takes forto lose it as well, and I'm laughing. “It’s a werewolf thing, Sarah.”
She frowns, so | walk over to her, hugging her. “A good werewolf thing or a bad werewolf thing?” she asks.
“GOOD!” We all say.
By lunch time, we're all ready for a break. We head upstairs to grab slunch and I run into Luna Calista.
“Calista. | didn’t know you wanted to start today.” | tell her.

“Of course, no tlike the present, although it looks like you've already been working on something.”
I'm filthy from cleaning and stocking food. “We're cleaning out the bunkers in preparation for the battle. | was
just about to go get a shower then have slunch. If you haven't eaten yet, would you join me?” | ask her.
“I'd be delighted. Anders here was going to try to find Liam and talk to him. Do you know where he is?” She asks.
“He's right here.” Liam says, walking into the room. “Alpha Anders. Luna Calista. | thought you'd be heading
htoday.”
“We will be staying until tomorrow, if that’s okay.” Anders says. “King Ailduin is coming tomorrow, and | know we
have plans for you and Angel to meet him. Until then, | thought | could be of shelp to you, Liam.’
Calista pullsaside. “Go get showered sweetheart, we have our own work to do while the men do their thing.”
Before | can leave, Liam pullsinto his chest. “You look like you've been busy Luna.”
“Mmhmm, we're getting the bunkers cleaned out and we've started a supply list. Oh and | learned about our
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBeta’s fascination with strawberries.”
“It’s renowned. Did you hear about the Alpha meeting?” He says and | start laughing again.
“I did.” I lean in to whisper in his ear. “Apparently Sarah smells like. strawberries.”
Liam’s bark of laughter has everyone in the room going still. They all turn to see their Alpha laughing out loud for
the first tin his life. Anders and Calista share a knowing look while | laugh along with my mate.
“I can’t wait to give him hell about that.” Liam says.
| reach up on my toes and kiss him. “Gotta run Alpha, got Luna stuff to do.”
As | walk away, | feel his eyes followup the stairs until | turn the corner to our
room.
