been in the military for eight to ten years he’s
accomplished a lot to get to where he is in his career for his age.”
Kane brushed his lips against Faith’s head. “Thanks,
princess.” He rubbed Faith’s shoulders. “You see, Kirby, every male in our
family has done at least four years in the military, although our family is a
rarity as all my parents produced were alphas. The military helps teach us control
and discipline. I did eight years, and as you know Rane is still in.”
Kirby glanced at Rane.
“Well, at the moment, I have my own kind of division of the
military,” Rane said. “Arden is still in the reserves, although he’s joined my
division now.”
“Arden isn’t here, about a quarter of us aren’t as we have
away teams,” Kane explained. “Australia is a new country, so we only have six packs
and they’re stretched out to cover their territory. We cover New South Wales
and Australian Capital Canberra, and another pack covers Queensland, another
pack covers Western Australia, and so forth. As Australia is so young we are
small, but as Australia grows older, we will grow. This all depends on how
strong the alphas are, and who leads each pack.”
The food was brought out and the men got up, telling the women
to keep talking and they would fix them a plate.
Kirby nodded in acknowledgment at Rane as he left the table.
Her brain right now was having an information overload. “Did I just pass some
kind of test?”
Faith laughed. “Yes, but we would have still kept you even if
you failed.”
The men returned and Rane set a plate with a mountain of
food on it in front of Kirby. Everyone went quiet as they ate.
Kirby smiled and ate everything on her plate without even realizing
it as her mind was thinking about everything she’d just learnt.
Rane leaned over. “Do you want me to get you something
else?”
Kirby groaned. She’d eaten too much already. “No, I’m fine,
I couldn’t eat any more.”
Two hours later, the four girls stood in front of the center
stage as they laughed and giggled. The next act would be the one they’d all been
waiting for.
“I think because I’m the birthday girl, I should get to get
up on the stage with him.” They all laughed as Kane growled.
Kirby glanced behind her to see three massive werewolves
standing a stone’s throw away with their arms crossed over their muscular chests.
Never having had this much fun in her life, she nudged Remy
and giggled. “Maybe Remy could heat up the stage for us a bit. If it’s hot, Jeremy
might have to take off all of his clothes.”
“I didn’t know you had it in you, Kirby. That’s the best
idea you’ve had all night.” Remy grinned, patting her on the back.

Jamie came up behind them, chuckling. “Oh my God, you got
your wife the worst birthday present. You are going to be killed by several
werewolves tonight as their mates have gone crazy. I’m telling you guys, this Jeremy
Sento has power over women.”
Devlin, Griffen, and Blake joined in Jamie’s laughter.
Jamie continued, “They haven’t even noticed you guys since
the concert started. Just imagine when this Jeremy Sento comes onto the stage.”
Jamie was now doubled over laughing.
Rane smiled as Tray went over to his brother and whacked him
hard on the shoulder, which almost caused Jamie to topple to the ground. “I so
can’t wait until you have a mate. Payback will be a bitch.”
Rane whacked him on the back too. “You’ve got that right,
Tray.”
They walked over closer to their mates, finding them standing
as close to the stage as possible. Tray looked at Kane. “How the hell did you
get her favorite band to play?”
“I donated a truckload of money to their charities, and on
top of that I offered them a ridiculous fee.”
“Have you seen their video clips?” Tray asked. “I watched
one earlier today, the one that’s Sara and Faith’s favorite, Hurricane ,
and after seeing that I can tell you now I would never have
