“Ruston tells me the two of you have become a couple, and now that I have you here, I scent that’s true.”
I was stunned. Did an alpha have a say about the pack members’ sex life? What was I supposed to say in response to this? Fortunately, the alpha was still going on.
“I called you in to see how you’re progressing with the pack, if you had any questions or anything, but I can see you’ve settled right in.” He focused on Jillian. “You know how difficult you’ve made it for us to protect you? The danger you’ve put yourself in by mating?”
I didn’t point out that he’d approved my living with her and, really, what did he expect to happen? My mate was beautiful and charming and smart. The only surprising thing was that someone else hadn’t managed to snap her up before I got here.
I watched her expression but she appeared just as confused as I was.
“And you haven’t at least marked one another? Your irresponsibility is stunning.” He looked from one of us to the other then sighed. “Just go, and try to be less reckless, all right?”
Then he was on the phone again, and we were dismissed. Jillian jumped up and grabbed my hand again then towed me out into the hallway. Just when I thought I was starting to understand what it meant to be a shifter, I was totally at sea again.
