walked out into the Pub and observed the different people mingling and dancing with each other at the Mirage Dance.  Damen was speaking to a middle-aged man and woman.  He watched as Damen turned and saw him standing beside the bar.  Damen waved at him, beckoning him to come over.  Mace grabbed his beer from the bartender and walked over to Damen.  “Mace, this is Peter and Mary Redden.” 
    Mace smiled and extended his hand out to Peter first.  “Mr. Redden, it is nice to finally meet you.”  Mary tried to shake Mace’s hand, but he reached over and hugged Mary instead.  Mary relaxed as she felt the warmth and generosity coming from Mace. 
    “ Peter and Mary, it’s nice to meet you and welcome you to the pack,” said Mace. 
    Mary and Peter both smiled at Mace.  “Alpha, thank you so much for the kindness you have shown to my family since we have arrived.  We love the house and when I start my job and get my first pay check, I will pay you back the rent money.” 
    Mace smiled but had no clue what Peter was talking about.  He looked at Damen for an explanation. 
    “Peter, don’t worry about it.  We always try to help each other out.  Don’t worry about the money.  You are family and we take care of family,” Damen responded as he looked over at Mace, letting him know what Peter was talking about.
    “ Peter, where will you be working?” Mace asked.
    “ Well I thought you knew, Alpha.  I will be working here at the Pub as your new manager.”  Peter looked over at his wife, confused and worried about the Alpha not knowing he had hired him.
    “ Oh, I’m sorry, Peter.  It is my job to find members new jobs.  I haven’t had a chance to tell Mace that you were hired.”  Peter looked at Mace, wondering if he really wanted him at the Pub. 
    Mace knew he needed to say something.  He could see the despair in Mary and Peter ’s eyes.  “That is great, Peter.  You don’t know what a blessing it will be to have you working here.  I just don’t have the time to spend doing the manager’s work and be Alpha, too.  So this will be a great fix.  I understand from Damen that you have experience in this business,” Mace asked as he smiled at Peter and Mary, trying to ease their mind. 
    “ Um yes, Alpha, I do.  I worked at the lodge in the last town we lived and it had a bar, too.  I was also the manager there, so I know how to do the job.  I hope you won’t be disappointed,” Peter answered.
    Mace leaned forward, putting the Reddens at ease.  “Look, Peter, if you show up every day, order the supplies and make sure the Pub is running smoothly, you will be great.  We will run into snags here and there, but we will get through it together.  We’re pack and we look after each other.”  Mace could tell Peter looked relieved to hear his Alpha tell him he would be great. 
    All of a sudden, Mace tilted his head up smelling the air.  It smelled like fresh strawberries and caramel.  His favorite desert .  The scent drew closer and closer as Mace looked around, trying to pinpoint where the smell came from. 
    “ Damen, did you put desserts out tonight?” asked Mace. 
    Damen looked at Mace as if he was crazy.  “No, Mace.  You know we don’t serve desert here at the Pub.”
    Instantly, Mace looked over and watched as a beautiful woman walked toward him.  He could feel his back straighten and his eyes widen as his stare fixated on the woman as she crossed the floor.  The music and noise from the Pub disappeared as she glanced up through the fan of curls surrounding her face.  She had curly hair with distinctive ringlets in corkscrew shapes that drifted around her heart-shaped face.  Her hair bounced and shimmered as the overhead light hit it at the right angle.  Mace could tell her hair, when touched, would feel springy and plush.  She was a no-nonsense girl.  This was a real woman with real curves.  His gaze roamed up and down her body as the blood surged to his cock.
