“Sold. I have a pack and I’ll probably bring them. Also, I need to check with my mate, but it should be fine,” I replied. It was happening. I was going to do Feral Ratville.
“Please, check with your mate. They want you to bring her and your pack. The fact you packed up at Winter-Fest is something they love. That wedding video is still popular.”
Oh, that was a plus. We could do what Saoirse suggested, too.
“Hey, I know you’re looking, but I am all for local things. I’llplay clubs, go on game shows, whatever. I do have a pack now,” I added.
He laughed. “You do. I’m working on it.”
My agent updated me on a few things and I ended the call.
Feral Ratville. Fucking shit.
I bounded down the aisle and found Saoirse looking at tea. “Guess what, guess what?”
“You’re getting an award, though this time you’re going as a sink not a shower?” she asked.
“I went as a shower, because that’s where I started. I’ve been invited to Feral Ratville. It’s the end of June. What do you think? Should I do it?” I asked.
“Why are you asking me?” Her expression went puzzled.
“Because couples talk about big decisions. Me doing a multi-day event, on an island in Greece, is a big decision. Of course you, and the whole pack, can come with me,” I added. “I’d really like you to be there.”
“Oh. They asked you? Of course they did. Yes, you should do it. This is huge. Congratulations.” She gave me a big hug, pride going through the bond.
I kissed her forehead. “I will absolutely marry you onstage if you want. You won’t be too pregnant to travel, if you decide you want to keep the baby.”
“Is that a thing, being too pregnant to travel?” Her eyebrows rose.
“Yes, it is. Ahhh, I’m going to play Feral Ratville.” Picking her up, I spun her around the aisle.
“Dusty!” She laughed.
“Okay, I’m going to tell my agent it’syes.” I texted him that I was in.
Saoirse grabbed me and kissed me. “I’m proud of you.”
“I love you,” I blurted.
She paused. For a moment I wasn’t sure if she would shove meor kiss me again.
Grabbing me by the shirt, she smashed her mouth to mine. “I love you, you ridiculous musician.”
“I love being ridiculous for you,” I replied. “Let’s finish up so we can tell the pack that we’re going to Greece.”

My alarm went off and I moved to silence it. Only there was something on my chest. A naked redhead to be exact. A guy with brown hair was also sprawled across my legs. Hale always slept at such weird angles.
Right. I’d come home from morning skate, got in a light workout, had lunch, and then they’d taken anapwith me, in my bed.
We actually had done some sleeping… after. Still, I felt amazing.
Wait… was that why my mated teammates always seemed to arrive at the arena practically whistling? They had a littlesomething somethingwith their naps?
Mmmm, I think I liked this part of being mated. The alarm continued to beep, and I extracted myself from under Fiona to turn it off.
