POV DeanI watched Willow as she ate breakfast. She barely acknowledged Devon, Lee or Livia when we entered the dining room. Hell, she barely said hi to anyone. I looked around and was surprised that her mom the other Luna's weren't here. I looked to my dad with confusion."Your Mom is with Luna Tracy and Luna Rose. Luna Rose didn't feel up to seeing everyone yet so they are having breakfast in one of the rooms." Dad said aloud to me and I nodded.I looked at Willow and saw a look of heartbreak pass over her face before she nodded. She then looked down and refused to make eye contact with anyone.Willow sat between Devon and I and Dad and Alpha Zack sat across from us with Carla and James. Lemon sat on the other side of Devon. Livia and Lee sat on my other side.Everyone looked at Willow in concern but she ignored us all. They then looked at me but I just shook my head at them, trying to tell them to leave her alone.

POV DeanI stared at Alpha Zack with anticipation. Could he really help us? I had meant what I said to Willow earlier. There was no chance in hell that I was going to give her up now. We had already overcome so much. If she was willing to forgive me and move passed everything I had fucked up, I was going to fight tooth and nail to make sure that we ended up together. As we should be. I would literally do anything for her. I was even ready to give up my pack. My spirits fell when my Dad brought up the Council. He was right about them. There was no way that they were going to allow us to remain mates and be Alphas. There were a limited amount of Alpha's in the world and each pack needed one. Each Alpha was taught from an early age that it was their duty to produce a heir so the pack would have a new Alpha when the other one retired or passed away.It didn't matter what the sex of the child was as long as it was a first born child of an Alpha. For

POV DeanI looked at Willow in awe. I couldn't believe that she just accepted me. I had hoped that someday she would but I had never in my wildest dreams imagined that she would do it so soon. Maybe it was just because of all the turmoil and stress?Frantically, I searched her eyes for any hints that she felt pressured or forced but I didn't see that. All I saw was forgiveness and trust. "Do you mean it baby? Don't feel like you have to. I'm willing to wait." I whispered but she just smiled as I felt the magic around us and our bond became even stronger."I mean it. I know that you changed and I now understand why you did the things you did. I know that you learned from your mistakes and I know that we can have a happy future together. I can trust you now." she replied and I felt a huge weight lift off my shoulders."You trusted me and listened to me through this whole Jake and Sam ordeal, even when I know it was killing you to do

POV DeanI was true to my word and Willow and I spent the next few days in our bed. We had food delivered outside our door. It was the best. We slept together, ate together, bathed together. We talked about any and every thing we could think of. Of course, we fucked and made love all the time too. Lee and Livia were more than capable of watching over the pack for Willow while we were... busy. Livia was overjoyed at our new status, Lee was.... well, Lee tolerated it and didn't say anything. The next morning, we both discovered we were stronger than before. I felt more powerful, like I could fight a hundred wolves and not get tired. We didn't really try out our powers then though. We had more important matters to attend to.After a few days, it was time to go back to reality though I wasn't ready. I could have spent years alone with Willow like that and not gotten bored. She was always interesting to me. There was always something else to

POV DeanI put my arm around Willow and led everyone to the pack's ceremonial grounds. I grinned when I saw the rest of both the Moonstone and the Darkstar pack members already there. There was a hush as we neared. Alpha Zack, Luna Tracy, Devon and Lemon all walked up to the side where there was special seating for them as Luna Rose joined the other pack members.Livia, Lee, Liam, Sage, Dad, Mom, Willow and I all walked up to the stage. The four beta's sat in chairs as Willow and I stood up to the microphone. My parents stood behind us. While Dad was still our Alpha, he had decided that he wanted me to run this ceremony. He was planning to hand over the Alpha title to me in the next few months after the transition. I nodded at Willow to begin and she grinned. I returned her smile and held her hand as she looked out over the pack members."Welcome Darkstar and Moonstone packs. Your Alphas and future Alpha are blessed by the Moon Goddess to have y
