Loving an Alpha: Chapter 9

~Tessa~

The night sky cast a moonlit shadow over the packhouse, illuminating Tessa's bedroom with a calm sense of tranquility. She slept peacefully beside Dainin, but her few hours of serenity didn't last long when a mind link from Zander woke her from a dead sleep.

"We just received an alert of a trespasser crossing our border to the north. I'm taking some warriors with me to check it out. We may not return until this afternoon," he informed her.

"Wonderful, let Cadence know when you're coming back. I want her to meet you halfway. Be careful," Tessa ordered, frustration filling her chest. Rogues rarely crossed her borders, but Zander recently discovered rumors were spreading that Blue Ridge was weak after the fight. Now it seemed some wolves were ready to test that theory.

“Let them challenge us. They’ll quickly regret it,” her wolf growled.

Yearning for a distraction, Tessa pressed against Dainin and gently blew over his mark. Excitement warmed her body when he began to stir.
