It’s up to you.”
    “What else do I need to know about this mate thing?”
    He thought about it for a minute. “You’ll be faithful to us.”
    She didn’t imagine that would be a problem. There were five of them after all. How could she possibly ever be bored or lonely? But she felt like teasing Eli a little. Raising her brows, she said, “Will I?”
    “You will. Or we will tear your lover limb from bloody limb.”
    “And you?”
    He smiled. “I belong to you. To you and our pack. Forever.”
    “Good. That will save me some bloody limb tearing too.”
    He lowered his head to plant a soft kiss on her lips. “Any other questions?”
    “Bunches. But only one that I need an answer for right away—where’s the bathroom?”
    He rolled onto his side and pointed toward a closed door she’d taken for a closet.
    She climbed out of bed and shivered when the cold air touched her skin. “I’m going to take a quick shower and then I say we go find something to eat.”
    Eli tucked his hands behind his head and stared unabashedly at her nude body. “Work up an appetite last night, did you?”
    She smiled. “I’m starving.”
     
    When they went downstairs, Maggie couldn’t stop gaping at the house. It was beautiful, sprawling, and had to have cost a fortune. Jack was seated in the great room on a leather couch reading the paper. He set the paper aside when he saw them and stood. Eli excused himself, saying he wanted to get breakfast started, and Maggie found herself alone with Jack.
    And wasn’t that awkward?
    This was their first real conversation and she didn’t know where to start. She knew the sounds he made when he came, but nothing else about him.
    At a loss, she gestured toward the huge windows and the dazzling view. The dense forest and the mountains stretching into the distance, their snow-capped peaks sharp and lovely against the bright sky.
    “It’s so beautiful here. The house. The property. Everything.”
    Jack nodded. “Did Eli tell you we’re planning to move?”
    “To my mountain. It seems a shame to leave this place behind.”
    “Maybe, but this way you can be involved in the design of the new house.”
    “I don’t know anything about design.”
    “My family in North Carolina owns a construction business so we built our own house. Here, we’ll hire out most of the work. You don’t really have to know much about architecture or design. They’ll ask for your requirements and then give you different options to pick from. It’ll be easy.”
    She crossed her arms over her chest and leaned her hip against the side of the sofa. “Until now my decisions have been whether to pick blue towels or white, not what type of wood to use for the cabinetry and how many bedrooms are needed in the west wing.”
    “You’ll get the hang of it.”
    “You’re from North Carolina?”
    He nodded. “The mountains aren’t quite as grand there, but it’s close enough that this feels like home.”
    “Why did you leave?”
    “Most males move on from their birth pack eventually. My brothers stayed because they’re connected to the business, but even they don’t live in the same house as my mother or her mates.” He shrugged. “I wanted something different. My wolf was restless.”
    “And you trusted your wolf to lead you to a new pack.”
    “Of course.”
    Of course. As if it wouldn’t even occur to him to not trust the instincts of his wolf. 
    Before she could ask him anything else, Jack tipped his head toward the kitchen. “I’m sorry. I’m being a bad host. Do you want coffee?”
    “I don’t drink coffee, but I’ll take hot chocolate if you have it.”
    “Sure.”
    He led the way into the kitchen, which gave her the opportunity to admire how nice he looked in his worn jeans. He was barefoot and his T-shirt was thin enough to display the muscles in his back and shoulders. Eli had said that Jack was a submissive wolf, and she wondered about that. Jack had submitted to Case’s control easily
