supposed to tell him how and where he should live?”
    “Fiera, the Medinas have come to your house more than once now. Even with you there, they didn’t hold back. They threatened you and your father. What do you think will happen once they realize we’re mated? Do you think they’ll simply leave him alone?”
    “I don’t want to be afraid of them anymore.”
    “You don’t have to be.” He placed his hand under her chin to turn her face toward his. “You have my family’s backing now. Once I find proof of what I know Hawke and his family are up to, I promise you I will stop them.”
    The love in her eyes took his breath away. “I believe you. But convincing my father to leave his home might prove more difficult than you’re imagining.”
    “He doesn’t have a choice. I’m responsible for you and him now.”
    “He might not see it that way, Canyon.”
    “The question of his ability to run a business has already gone before the Elders. Hawke’s threat to you wasn’t without substance. I’d stake my life on that. And once he discovers we’re mated, he certainly won’t withdraw his complaint.”
    “That’s true.”
    “If the Elders declare your father unable to make his own business decisions, one of your uncles will have to step in and take responsibility for him.”
    “They can barely take care of themselves. They’re not any better at running it than my father is.”
    “If that’s true, what’s the point of placing it in their hands? You don’t want the Elders to make that decision, either. The most logical thing to do is let my father and me take care of your father and your family business, before the Medinas convince the Elders they are better equipped to do both.”
    Canyon watched the emotions cross her face. He knew this was a lot for her to bear, and he hoped she finally realized she no longer had to go through it alone.
    “What if my uncles don’t want you and your father to take over running the business?”
    “I’ll challenge them. It’s my duty to do so, Fiera. You’re my mate. Your family, in the absence of alpha males to take over those kinds of duties, falls to me now. Your uncles are no fitter to fight the Medinas and run the business than your father is.”
    Instead of fear, he now glimpsed determination in her eyes, and his heart soared. “I’m not saying this to force you into a decision you don’t want to make. I’m trying to outline the reality for you. You know Hawke’s family isn’t going to simply roll over and allow this to happen. The fact that we’re mated. This is going to piss them off even further, so we have to have a plan in place.”
    “I know they won’t accept us as mated, and I know they won’t give up on wanting the business. Especially if what you and your father suspect is true.”
    “I knew all this when Hawke declared you were his mate. I knew if I didn’t take it to the Elders, he’d force himself on you, and I’d have no chance to claim what was mine from the moment you were born.” Canyon’s hormones flared up again. How could he help that? Fiera was everything he’d ever wanted. He brushed a hand over her breast, and she moaned softly.
    “I knew what I was taking on. All of it. You’re mine. I’ve always known that. And now we’re mated. The ceremony we need to plan is nothing more than a formality so all the packs can celebrate with us. It’s already done. Hawke can’t change it. His family can’t undo this.”
    When he kissed her, she moaned louder, and his dick jumped to attention. “Don’t you worry about anything, Fiera. You and your father are no longer alone in this.”
    As she returned his kiss, he was lost once more in the heady sensation of holding his mate. His Fiera. The one true love of his life. After releasing his mouth, she moved in his lap until she straddled him.
    “You’re killing me here, woman! Rise up and lower that sweet pussy over my cock before I explode.”
    The most delicious look filled her
