made for her.
                  “Where’s Richard?” Sera asked when she didn’t see him in the firelight.
                  Faith chuckled into her hand, and the others began to snicker.
                  “Seems he’s taken a liking to our little Ressa.” Trisha said, with a knowing gleam in her eyes.
                  Sera burst out in laughter, knowing full well that Caressa would tear Richard apart. A werewolf female and a human male was nothing more than an accident waiting to happen.
                  “What’s so funny?” Cameron asked defensively. “You don’t think Richard’s good enough for your cousin? That’s not very nice.”
                  Sera held up her hands. “Whoa, there, kitty cat. Put them claws away. It’s just funny because Ressa’s really not one for relationships, that’s all. She’s not exactly a romantic.”
                  Cameron snorted and pulled out his phone. “Sure,” he snidely remarked.
    Sera ignored his comment and watched through the bond as her mate disciplined his third. “Come back to me, mate. He has had enough,” Sera whispered into his mind.
                  “On my way.”
                  Sera smiled to herself, watching the fire consume the logs. The smoke swirled up into the blackened sky, adding dimension to the already beautiful night. Just a moment later, she felt large, warm hands on her shoulders and turned up to Koda, and she reached up to kiss him. “You okay?” she asked as he picked her up, sat in her chair, and set her down in his lap. 
                  He nodded against her. “Fine,” he said.
                  “Aw,” Faith said, looking at them jealously. “Why the heck can’t I have a fairytale romance like that?”
                  “You will one day, little one,” Nodin said, coming up behind her.
                  Sera tensed, sitting up straight in Koda’s lap.
                  “Calm, my alpha,” Koda soothed, rubbing her back. “He merely wants to apologize.”
                  Sera watched them with a slight glow in her eyes, prepared for anything.
                  “I am solemnly sorry for our previous encounter,” Nodin said sincerely. “I would now like to formally introduce myself the correct way.” He bowed and offered his hand. When she placed her hand in his, he said, “My name is Nodin Madichi.” 
                  “I-I’m Faith Sharp. It’s a pleasure.”
                  “The pleasure is all mine, little one. It is an honor to meet you.”
                  Sera saw the fire ignite in her friend’s eyes as she snappily pulled her hand away from him.
                  “I’m not little, you overgrown beast!” Faith then angrily pushed away from the circle and stormed off.
                  “What did I say?” Nodin asked, looking at the group.
                  “You called her little…twice,” Richard said, taking his sister’s chair.
                  Nodin scratched his forehead. “Damn. I simply do not understand females.”
                  “Get in line, pal,” Richard said, taking a swig of water before he pulled out a cigarette.
                  Sera rolled her eyes. “I thought you quit that nasty habit.”
                  He took a long drag and shrugged. “I only smoke when I’m…agitated.”
                  “And, Richie, pray tell,” Ally said, smiling, “why are you so agitated?”
                  “Piss off.”
                  “All right,” Trisha interrupted, laughing uneasily. “Let’s stop that before people start saying things they don’t mean.” She nudged Richard’s shoulder, making him smile.
                  A sharp whistle
