Nina Blackwell is Ranger’s mate. We are meeting with her father shortly.”
    “ It’s sure to be a party. You should all come,” Nina joked.

    Malcolm tried to speculate the way this meeting would go. Surely, if Nina was his son’s mate, Royal wasn’t denying them. That would just harm his son.  A union between their children did mean more contact between the Witches and the Shifters. The two races had remained separate for so long. This would impact both communities. Malcolm could see the good in that.
    “This is it,” he said as they pulled up outside the Brooks home. The trucks that lined either side of the street told him the wolves had already arrived.
    “Malcolm , do you think it’s wise to take the guard?” Kendra waited as three huge men exited the vehicle in front of them and came to open the door. “They might feel you pose a threat.”
    “It’s protocol Kendra. I’m sure Royal has his sons with him.” Malcolm had no sons, only daughters. His guard was not made up of family but trusted men in his coven.
     
    Royal stood on the porch. He didn’t relish this conversation. He knew however it was a conversation that needed to happen.
    “ Welcome Malcolm, Kendra. Thank you for coming. Gemma and the others are inside,” he welcomed them while reaching to shake the Mage’s hand.
    “ And Nina?”
    “ She’s giving my sons a run for their money. She’s already tackled my youngest and taken the heart of my third. I believe she is currently arguing with Maverick about woman’s rights in the pack.”
    Malcolm laughed . That did sound like something Nina would do. He was happy to see that Royal was in good humor about it.
     
    Rory sat quietly on the couch watching the interchange with Nina and Maverick. She had the urge to get between them, but the deal was she could come to the meeting only if she took it easy.
    She had just had a baby . It wasn’t like she was in a train wreck. She was a werewolf. They healed at an accelerated rate. She had to remind Maverick that it was hours after Garrett attacked and tried to kill her that she and Maverick completed the mating bond. If they could have
    sex only hours after she almost died , she and the baby could leave the clinic and come to the meeting. He really had no argument to that.
    “ Maverick.” Royal’s voice echoed in the room. The room was full of the family. Every member of the Cheveyo Alpha family including its newest member was in Willow and Ryder’s living room. Maverick turned to his father after flashing a brief smile at Nina. She was going to make a wonderful addition to the family, even if she threatened to rile up the women even more than they already were. Both Willow and Emory trained daily. He had no doubt Rory would insist on starting as soon as tomorrow.
    “Yes Dad?”
    “Come son, I’d like to introduce you. This is Malcolm Blackwell and his wife Kendra.”
    “Nina’s parents, so pleased to meet you,” Maverick took Malcolm’s hand in a firm grip.
    “ As you might have heard, Maverick will be taking the Alpha position in the new year. The Shifter council has asked me to oversee this region.”
    “I had heard that , yes,” Malcolm was smiling with the usual pleasantries he reserved for such meetings. He was still hesitant about the Alpha Shifter, but having seen his daughter in a
    heated debate with the man , he felt better. It was clear he was not angered by her boldness. He might have even had a look of admiration on his face. Malcolm couldn’t be sure.
    “Come, sit down. We have much to discuss. Your men are welcome to come in as well,” Royal said with a wave.
    Nina stepped back to Ranger who had been watching the spar ring between his brother and his mate. “Dad, this is Ranger.” Nina pressed her back against him like she was shielding him. Ranger reached around her to extend his hand to the Mage. The whole room seemed to pause until Malcolm took hold of Ranger’s hand and gave it a
