comfortable enough with Angel to seek her advice and assistance.
I'm kicking myself for not thinking about the Luna’s office. It's been so long, that | hadn't considered that she
might need her own office. Dustin is giddy in his excitement that Sarah wants to help. It's exactly what her role
will be if she accepts Dustin as her mate.

to our borders. We also talk about the training that will need to take place with the Guardians and the
warriors.
As we work, | can tell there is something on Dustin’s mind. When he doesn’t cout and ask, | finally bring it
up. “What's on your mind, Dustin?”
He hesitates before responding. “I haven't been able to get Sarah to agree to seeing the doctor. It won't change
my mind about having her as my mate, but | would like to know if pups are in my future.”
“Have you suggested that she talk with Angel? Maybe even have Angel go with her? If not, maybe you could talk
to Angel. They have a bond forged from their mutual traum
and support of each other, so I'd guess that it's as strong as the

“Okay, yes, | do care about that part of our relationship. But, I'm willing to give her whatever amount of tshe

“And have you told her that?”
“Yes, but it's different. She doesn’t fully understand, being human. I do think you were right about her feeling the
