A few weeks and countless meetings with Alphas from around the country later, Della and Alexander were ready for a break. They decided a visit to the beach house was the perfect getaway, a place where they could just relax and soak up the sun. They needed to unwind before the mate matching party next weekend, which was sure to draw unprecedented numbers.
"They'll be fine for a weekend," Alexander said softly, glancing at Della.
She took a long sip, eyes never leaving the pups. "Ainsley's more organized than I am, and Alaric's been looking for an excuse to spoil them. Still, it feels weird leaving them when the world just found out about us."
"Which is exactly why we need a break." Alexander turned to face her. "We need time to breathe, just us. The beach house has been sitting empty for too long. Let's disappear for two days. No court, no Howlogram, no responsibilities, just the ocean and your laugh."
