Anna’s POV“Well, one more year and we will no longer be responsible for our children. I see the light at the end of tunnel,” I say as I sit in William’s office. “And you will not meddle in their lives?” He asks me over paperwork. “I have no intention of meddling as you call it. Are their presents ready?” I ask. “Yes, being delivered as we speak. You really think they want their own bedrooms? I mean, they have been in the same room their whole lives. You don’t think they will want to stay that way until they are mated? They are identical, they could share a mate,” William raises his eyebrow. “No, they need their own rooms, they are seventeen, Cullen is actively having sex, I think with Mable DeMur, and Luke has had sex in the past, but I haven’t scented it on him in a while. He must be a in a dry spell,” I shrug. “You worried about Mable DeMur?” William looks at me. “Cullen is strong and wants his mate. Mable will be 18 soon and when she is, she can find her mate. I don’t think

Mable’s POV“Baby, how many shoes do you own?” Luke asks Sable, as we are moving boxes from the van to our packhouse rooms.“It’s not that many, geez,” Sable rolls her eyes. “I want a reward after this,” Luke teases her. “Soundproof room, baby, you can be rewarded all night,” Sable teases him back. He takes the stairs with new energy.“Do I get a reward for helping?” Cullen asks me.“You got paid upfront remember,” I say smiling, reminding him that we had sex already today.“Yeah, yeah,” he says, rolling his eyes.“You know I’m gonna give it up again,” I tell him, as we put the last of my boxes down in my room. “My parents are at the Alpha meeting. We can sleep here, or at the Alpha house, but either way I get you all night long,” Cullen pulls me to him for a kiss.“The last time you had me all night long I was walking funny for a week,” I tell him.“Yeah, but now, you are more experienced, it shouldn’t be as bad,” he tells me, kissing down my neck. “Do you want your present now

Cullen’s POV“Baby, it’s going to be okay,” Mable tells me, as we lay on her bed.“Liam challenged a fucking Vampire to a fight, ending in one of their deaths. Please tell me how it’s going to be okay,” I say, with a huff.“I talked to Curtis, and he said his Beta is a hybrid wolf/vampire. They have training classes for such fights. Call Alpha Jackson and see if he is willing to help,” Mable tells me.I look at her in shock. “Baby, you are a genius!”I kiss her and go next door to get Luke.I hit the buzzer and nothing. I kept hitting the buzzer, while smirking.“What the fuck, dude?” Luke yells at me.“Dude, our brother is in a life or death situation and you are getting laid?” I ask. “And people call me an animal.”“He is safe for six months, I just want to be inside my woman,” he whines.I hold up my phone, showing him Alpha Jackson’s training program.Luke reads it over and understanding comes over his face.“We need to talk to Liam, now, come on,” I tell him.He groans, but goes

Cullen’s POV“I’m sorry, what?” Lance DeMur asks, his eyes wide.“Lance, let’s calm down,” Mrs. DeMur suggests.“Cullen, do you have a blade on you,” Dad asks.“Multiple, why?” I ask.“Yeah, go ahead and kill yourself, because Lance and I would rather not have your blood on our hands,” Dad really does look murderous. Mom isn’t calming him down. She is staring daggers at me and Mable.“How is that no one is mad at me? I was the one who missed her appointment and didn’t tell him,” Mable defends me.“Being pregnant means we can’t hurt you,” Lance looks steamed.“Try to touch her, I fucking dare all of you,” I snap. “You are all going to be grandparents. No one is happy about that?”“She can’t be marked.” Lance DeMur is shaking with anger.“She can, she just doesn’t like how I have to do it,” I roll my eyes.“I’m being marked during sex, end of conversation,” Mable insists. “If I have to wait four months, I will wait.”“I should have known when I saw you wearing hoodies in the summer,” Mr

Sable’s POV“I’m going to check on Cullen,” I tell Luke, who is fascinated by the internet here in the human realm. I walk next door and knock.“You should not be here right now,” Cullen tells me.“Want me to leave?” I ask.Cullen opens the door wider and I walk in.“Sable, we can’t do anything. I get it until Mable and I mark each other, there is going to be a pull for you and I, but I can’t act on it,” Cullen tells me.“They won’t feel it, because we are fated to,” I remind him, touching his face. The tingles are still there.“I can’t share with Luke, he and I don’t share well. Mable doesn’t share well either,” Cullen takes a step back.“But you are mine too. I know we rejected each other, but my wolf wants you too. I can hear your wolf wants me too,” I have no idea where this is coming from, but I am not afraid of him anymore. In fact, I can’t help myself and I launch at him to kiss him.“Whoa,” He grabs my hands and keeps me at a distance. “Absolutely not, Sable. You know better.
