way to thank her mate.
Tey had gone through a lot of trouble to make sure that she felt at home here. How amazing was he? She felt a tug at her heart and smiled. It was going to be impossible not to fall in love with the giant.
Ruby bustled around in the living area getting pillows situated for her. She told her that Grace, the self proclaimed grandmother of the Pack, was going to be in shortly to make her something to eat and generally fuss over her. Jo frowned, that was one thing she had never had much of growing up. No one cared, one way or another, what she did, or if she was taken care of. All of these people trying to help her, and take care of her, were a little disconcerting.
Jo sat on the couch and sighed when she pushed back on the fluffy pillows. They molded to her body and made a nice little cocoon. Ruby grabbed a blanket and laid it over her legs. There was a big screen TV mounted on the opposite wall.
“The other Enforcers said they were going to patch the feed from the bookstore in here so we should be able to see.” Ruby said bouncing excitedly on the smaller couch. Thank goodness, she was not sitting closer or Jo would have punched her to calm her down.
“Levi, Trent, and Dally are guarding us. The rest of the Enforcers and Alphas are at the book store. Would it be okay if I asked them to come in?” Jo looked at the younger girl blush and glance around refusing to make eye contact. It was endearing to see someone who still had his or her innocence. “Of course, Levi and I are old friends. Have them join us.”
Ruby clapped her hands and jumped up. Jo could hear the low murmur of voices coming from the entryway. A small older woman came into the room first, followed by Rudy and three very tall and filled out young men.
“Well, hello young lady, I am Grace, and you are Jo. Introductions are no longer necessary. If you didn"t look, a little like a mummy, I would hug you in welcome to the Pack, but I feel like I would break you. So, you are the one who has brought Tey to his knees. I have to tell you I thought he would be the last of the Enforcers to find his mate.
I am so happy it was someone who is strong; I can tell you will not let him walk all over you. Now, I will make you some snacks to have while we watch the show. Cami said it was going to be a doozy.” The old woman said all on one breath and Jo laughed.
“Wow, she is something.” Jo muttered as she watched the woman go into the kitchen.
“Oh yeah.” Levi said and came into the room further. “This is Dally and Trent. They will be your guards as well. We are working out the shifts, and as soon as we have a schedule, we will let you know. Tey will explain the logistics later; I just wanted to introduce all of us.”
Jo looked at the young pup and grinned. He obviously was taking this very seriously; Jo tried to hold the laugh back. The young guards looked like they had been asked to guard the President. She could not take that from them.
Ruby grabbed the remote control and turned on the TV. The men settled around and Ruby sat shyly next to Levi, looking at him, as if he hung the moon. How cute.
The TV showed Cami"s bookstore. It was packed. There were children and adults both still finding seats. Most of them were taken, and many men were standing against the wall. Jo was surprised at the turn out. She had never had a story time/book signing with so many people.
“There is Cami and the Alphas.” Ruby said pointing to the corner. Jo did laugh then, and the rest of the room did when they saw the Alphas were dressed in costumes. Cami stood grinning at her men while they frowned. Quin was dressed in a Pirates costume, while Jaden wore Soldiers uniform from the 1800"s. Cami wore a long flowing pink dress that was from the same period.
“What is your book about?” Ruby asked.
“Well, it is about a small child who makes her books come to life. Then she has to find a way to get the people back into the books before her parents get
