Chapter 41: Trying

Dante carried Nora in his arms into the pack house where everyone was waiting. Her arms were looped around his neck, her face snuggled into his bare chest.

"Excuse me," Kai all but yelled, "but what is that?" He points at Nora's neck and Dante can't hide his smirk.

"What does it look like?" Dante answered, breaking into a full grin. Nora blushed, retreating further into Dante's embrace.

"You did it!" the twins cheered.

"Congratulations, Alpha," Nathan smiled.

"Can someone explain to me what’s going on here?" Frank crossed his arms over his chest.

"Well, dear." Nancy placed a hesitant hand on her husband's chest. "It seems that our daughter has been marked by the Alpha."

Frank's eyes went wide with realization. Dante watched as Franks expression changed from confusion, to anger, to sadness, and finally resignation.

"Does that mean you're married or something?" Frank asked.

"Frank," Nancy warned. "We talked about this."

"Right," he grumbled. "Congratulations."
