Bronx’s POV“Alright, now that Kas and her sisters are out of the room, there’s something else I want to discuss with everyone.” I stand up and nod to Carly. She opens a folder and passes sheets out to everyone. “Endymion. Now known as Andy Latmus Briland. We found him.”Arrow looks at his paper and back at me. “King Endymion? He’s been reincarnated?”“The one and only. Right here in Montana.” I sigh and sit back down. “He was born to a werebear, werewolf hybrid who is mated to a human, but the child is one hundred percent werewolf. His father, Dave, says when his wife, Shelly, was pregnant, a Native American God and a beautiful blonde-haired woman came to him in a dream and told him the baby’s name. Andy has genetic markers similar to all the Menae that would indicate he is: aye, a god, and bee, their father.”“Selene has far-reaching influence and genetics don’t lie.” Heph rubs his grimy hand over the thick scruff of his chin. “So it’s really him. Now what? What is it to us?”“This

“Why don’t you two go wake up Mommy? I have a surprise for her birthday.” I kiss Maya and set her on the ground. “I have some things to discuss with Uncle Marco.” “Daddy, what if she says she’ll give me cookies?” Dre’s big green eyes grow worried. He’s a sucker for Kas’s cookies. I wouldn’t blame him if he spilled the beans. Especially if they were the ones with those dark chocolate chunks in them. We told the kids about Andy coming yesterday after daycare so they would know a new friend was coming and to make him feel welcome. Everyone swore to secrecy so their Luna would have a happy birthday surprise. They were all given a smiley face sticker to seal the deal. Diane insists it works. “Brave warriors can resist cookies cause they know the Moon Goddess will reward them with bigger, better things… like chocolate cake.” Marco leans down and ruffles Dre’s hair. “Trust me she’s gonna love this one. Don’t ruin it for her.” Dre thinks about it for a moment then gives Marco a salute and

Alright, lemme give you an update on my guy Andy. He’s been at Blood River for almost six weeks now and he’s doin’ great. We haven’t had to step away for a break in over a week and that was only cause he hadn’t been to a full moon celebration before. When he saw there was nothing to fear, he wanted to go back to the party. His parents are right about him being polite. He’s well behaved too. They came to visit a few times and they are so proud of how easy he is fitting in.He gets along with all the kids, especially Dre, cause they’re both kinda quiet. They can sit and play quietly for as long as we let them. I’m not sure he and Dre even talk much. They just hang out. Even Maya seems to be more chill when Andy’s around.Andy also gets along with my boy Deago. They both love being outdoors. Deago showed Andy where the best tadpoles are and Andy showed him how to make friends with squirrels. Clash can’t even fathom being friends with animals he considers food, but he’s happy they spend t

Bronx’s POV“Bronx!” Kas calls and runs down the hallway of the hospital wing. “Is Andy okay? What happened? Wait, where’s Marco? I heard him use his Alpha tone after we went inside. Is he okay? Who sent a call to the pack?”“Baby, slow down. Slow down.” I stop pacing and pull her into a hug. I sigh deeply and kiss the top of her forehead. “Sy asked Marco to stay in the exam room in case there was a problem. Sy lulled Andy to sleep. Now she’s examining him. She is probably going to take away a few memories, too.”“Take away memories?” She tries to pull away with wide eyes. “Why would she do that?”I try to avoid her question and distract her. “Are the other kids okay?”“Yeah, Diane is making them hot chocolate now. Tyree and James are with her and Delilah is going to portal back from the bakery in about five minutes. She had to wait for the afternoon manager to get back from break.” She shakes her head, distressed. “The kids are asking a million questions and we don’t know how to answ

Kas’s POVMaybe if I don’t open my eyes, it won’t be my birthday. If I just lay here in bed and try to stop time for the entire Earth, it will never happen. I’ll be able to save everyone from danger.“We both know that’s not how it works, Kas.” Lex’s voice is soothing. “Let’s just try to enjoy today. I’m really excited to see Saint tonight for the pack run.”“I know you are, darling.” I sigh. “The thought of intentionally creating a wedge between the Menae and myself is just… I don’t know… unsettling, I guess.”“Mommy?” Dre’s voice makes my heart beat harder.“How’s my sweet boy?” I roll over and smile at him, grateful for the distraction. He always sleeps in his bedroom, but he still likes to come to snuggle with me on the weekends. “Wanna hang out with me?”“Yes, please.” His face lights up and he runs across the room. I lift the duvet up for him to crawl underneath. He gives me a hug then reaches up to play with my hair. He looks confused. “Happy birthday, Mommy. How old are you no
