  Danica&quot;s uncle and his mate were a lot warmer toward her than Gio had been expecting. They seemed pleased to see her and they were happy and relieved to know that she was away from Carrick. If her uncle had anything to do with it, she would definitely be welcome here if she asked to join the pack. In fact, the damn Alpha would probably be just as welcoming. He had been staring at Danica for most of the evening and it was beginning to seriously piss Gio off. Had she not made Gio promise to &lsquo;behave&quot; seen as he was apparently intimidating enough, he would have threatened to gut the ogling bastard. Even his promise to her wouldn&quot;t have stopped him if the
  Alpha hadn&quot;t been so careful not to cross any lines. It was only then, as he sat lounging on one of the reclined deckchairs, sipping beer and watching her play with some of the pups that Gio realized he had secr

  It wasn&quot;t that she had never done it before. It was just that whenever she had done it in the past it had been while she was the dominant figure in
  the relationship. Giving a guy a blowjob when she was supposed to be mostly submissive seemed like something else altogether, in which case it surprised her that she was even considering it. Just as it surprised her that as much as the wolves in Mike&quot;s pack were great and as much as she could see herself being happy here if they accepted her, that didn&quot;t make her feel as relieved
  and excited as it should. No, because she would miss Gio and his pack. She really had thought she was being careful not to get comfortable in the pack, knowing that her stay would be a short one. But with them being so warm and fun with the exception of a few and seeing her as more than a
  healer who was rather inconveniently latent, it was damn

  I need to have somewhere to go because I&quot;m not going to live the lone wolf lifestyle. My best bet is to get a place in my uncle&quot;s pack even if it&quot;s only temporary, at least it&quot;ll be something. If you don&quot;t want to come with me to this ceremony and maybe try and get yourself an alliance out of this then fine. But I will be going in the hope of increasing my odds of getting a place in that pack because the alternative is taking a chance being out there on my own and that&quot;s not acceptable to me.&quot;
  He could tell her the truth of why he didn&quot;t want her to go to the ceremony, he could, but now wasn&quot;t the time or the place. Alright that was in
  fact an excuse but it was an excuse he was sticking to. Rather than piss her off any further, he went to her and tugged her to him. &quot;I didn&quot;t think of it that way. If you want us to go, we&quot;l
