Free Greyson - Part 2: An Alpha Billionaire Shifter Romance (The Silver Moon Pack) by Cali MacKay Page B

comes first. She comes first.”
    Greyson’s words gave her back her confidence—something that had slipped away since her nightmare began—and for that she was eternally grateful. Tightening her hold on Greyson’s hand, Juno gave Thayer a smile. “I appreciate the offer to stay here, but…this is a matter that involves more than just me. It involves our pack, and that means we need to give it some thought. That said, I won’t have you threatening me, Greyson, or my marriage, so if you can deal with that, then maybe we can figure out some sort of relationship that would work for everyone involved.”
    She looked over at Greyson in question, hoping that her proposal was okay, and she hadn’t overstepped her bounds or made some sort of major faux pas. But Greyson just pulled her close and kissed her temple, giving her a smile before turning back to Thayer. “I think she’s being incredibly generous, and once we sort things out, we’ll be sure to let you know.”
    “Greyson, you’re a pain in the ass—and Juno…well, I’m too charmed to be able to deny you anything.” Thayer gave her a charismatic smile, though being the sole focus of his intense gaze made her heart skitter, which in turn sent a crackle of energy racing through her body. “All kidding aside, I appreciate that you’re willing to consider my offer and find a way to make this work, given how important this is to my pack. But no matter what happens, I need you to know that you’ll always be welcome here.”
    She wasn’t sure what to say to that, but figured she’d just take the offer at face value, to keep from stirring up any more trouble. “Thank you.”
    With things finally less tense between the men, Greyson and Thayer were able to catch up on pack business and all that had happened in the time Greyson had been gone. Juno had to admit, it was a huge relief to not have the two of them at each other’s throats.
    Getting to his feet, Greyson pulled Juno up into his arms, as Thayer stood. “Despite a rocky start to the day, it was good to see you again.”
    Thayer shrugged and gave them one of his charming smiles, not looking too bothered about their earlier argument. “I’m just glad you came by for a visit—and Juno, it was a sincere pleasure. Where are you lovebirds off to next?”
    “Heading into Wild Creek. Figure it’ll be good to show Juno around town. Pick up some supplies. Feels like we’ve got some weather heading our way, and we only just got to our place.” Greyson looked at her like she was his whole world, his gold eyes alight. And she loved that he’d called his parents’ home their place, since she’d like the chance to finally feel like she was home, especially with the chaos that constantly seemed to be swirling around her.
    “Juno…come back soon.” Thayer pressed a tender kiss to her cheek, while giving Greyson a sly smile, since he was clearly pushing buttons. “And Greyson…it’s been a pleasure, even if you are one hell of a lucky bastard.”
    ***
    Juno had to admit that sitting in a tavern filled with shifters left her feeling uneasy, even if Ryder had decided to join them. And though she was starving, the amount of food that came on her plate was obscene. She just lucked out that the guys were happy to devour whatever was left.
    Despite being in the middle of nowhere, Wild Creek was hopping with people, since it was located on neutral ground and surrounded by different pack and clan territories. Not that Juno had a clue as to what sort of shifter each person was. Hell…she didn’t even know what sort of shifters existed, other than wolves and bears. And yet, it was easy to see some similarities.
    The wolf shifters were tall, lean, and muscular. From what she’d seen of the bears, they were even taller, and though they were also muscular, they were definitely bulkier than the wolves. As for the rest…she didn’t know what they were, but if they were hanging out with members of their pack and clan,
