I walk into the room and instantly get disappointed. It smells clean. It doesn’t smell like them or like they’ve even touched the room in years. I stop in the middle of the room, and the triplets stop behind me.Gunner places his hand on my lower back, and I look up at him. His face twists like he’s disappointed in himself and can sense why I’m upset. “We just haven’t been able to come in here, Peaches. I’m sorry.” He whispers and I take a deep breath before looking over at the bed again.I shrug, “I understand.” I tell him, because I do understand, I don’t know if roles were reversed if I would have been able to come in here either. “We’ll just have to make it ours again.” I tell him and he smirks. “Let’s take a shower, we can start now.” He tells me and I laugh then head for the bathroom.Once we are all done with our shower, and I’m dressed in one of Gunner’s shirts, we head to the bed and Dean jumps in first. I follow getting in between his legs and leaning my back up against his
We pull up to the triplet’s house and William and Lexi are already waiting for us on the porch. As soon as Lexi sees Dean’s suv pulling up, she jumps off the porch and starts running towards us.As soon as the car’s parked my door swings open, my seatbelts unbuckled, and I’m torn from the car. Lexi grips me like her life depends on it and hold onto her too. The only motherly person I’ve ever really known. Even more so than my real mother.“This doesn’t feel real.” Lexi whispers into my ear and I pull back and smile at her. “It’s so nice to finally be home.” I tell her, and she pulls me into another hug.William walks over and pulls me from Lexi’s grasp and into his. “Hey, Alpha!” His low chuckle making his chest rumble and I glance up at him. “Don’t start.” I tell him and he smirks. “You earned the title even before my boys. That’s impressive.” He jokes and I roll my eyes and look over at the triplets.Lexi’s hugging Gunner in a death grip and then she pulls Issac in as well. “I misse
I walk out of the house, and my heart starts beating a little faster… Who even am I?I could have let the triplets handle things, I could have told them what I was planning, but I didn’t. I wanted to kill her. I wanted to see her suffer for everything she did to me.She took my trust and burnt it to the ground, and I wanted to see her burn along with it.I freeze in step when a car comes flying to a stop in the street.The car door swings open and Harmony steps out, her eyes glued to me in shock, before looking behind me and seeing her house burn to the ground her hand clutching her heart.My breathing hitches as I take in what I just did. I didn’t think about the fact I would be taking Harmony’s mate from her. I didn’t think about the pain that would cause her.Three low growls echo around me as Harmony takes a step towards me, and Dean’s hand wraps around my arm and pulls me back into him.Harmony shakes her head as a sob leaves her.I deserve whatever she does to me; I deserve this
I fall asleep on Gunner’s shoulder on the way back to Midnight Moon, and don’t wake up again until we’re at the pack. I glance up at Gunner and he’s smiling down at me. “We’re home.” He whispers and I look out at the pack that I’ve been away from for so long.Home.This will always be the place I feel at home.I look back at Gunner, hugging into his side with a smile on my face, “Home.” I whisper, then give him a peck on the lips, before looking out the window again.“Hey, so we were going to talk to you about this on the way here, but you fell asleep. We were thinking it’d be a good idea for us to schedule an appointment with Shelia.” Gunner says quickly, like if he says it fast enough, I can’t get mad.Many emotions pass through my mind when I think about it, but a kind smile graces my face. “Actually, can we go see her now? I’d like to see her before anyone else.” I ask, keeping my sweet smile.I don’t want her to know I’m here, she’ll run as soon as she finds out, and I don’t want
Issac looks into her eyes, “Okay. Grace, we need to know if there’s anyone you don’t want to come back to Midnight Moon. We don’t want anyone there that might hurt you. Is she someone we need to add to that list?” She rolls her eyes and shakes her head, “I’m not going to deny her safety because she upset me. But we should find out if Asher’s mother is here. I never met his parents, but I’m assuming they were playing the long game. I never heard anything about Asher moving into the pack, which means they’ve at least been here that long, if she didn’t escape the night of the attack then I’m sure she’s here, but I don’t know where to start looking. I hadn’t really gotten into the politics of the pack yet.” She tells him and he nods.My eyes scrunch, “What are you talking about? Why are you worried about them?” I ask her, confused. It’s not like her to blame the family for something their son did. She looks over at me confused as well, then something sparks in her head. “Oh. Right. The ma
We’re moving this entire pack to Midnight Moon today. I stare at the ceiling as I think about any way this will affect Grace. It’s hard to do when she just keeps saying she’s fine, or that she’s okay. When it’s clear she’s not. When we can see if written all over her face and feel it through the bond. Something’s bothering her, but she won’t talk about it and it’s driving us insane.After everything she’s been through, we understand, but it’s still hard.I think we all just need time to readjust. Get used to this new normal, another new family of Grace’s.Bert’s seemed pretty lost since his mom was taken, but Rick seems to be helping him relax. This is Grace missing all over again, we don’t know where to start.Even if Cora had any information on people who attacked, it’s all gone. The information burnt to pieces or buried beneath the crumbles that was their home.Grace moves next to me, and before I know it her body flops onto my chest and she’s kissing my neck. My unmarked neck. It’
