Dawn’s POV“Mama, down,” Tellie calls from her high chair. I put her down and she runs straight to her sister and friends. “Hey little lady,”Justin says giving Tellie a chip from his bowl. Tellie hugs his neck and moves on to Ryan. “I’m not as impressed with you,” Ryan teases, but Tellie gives him a cheek kiss and he gives up a chip. Raymond doesn’t wait he just hands her one. “Sissy,” Tellie says to Bella “Sorry Babes,” Bella shows Tellie her empty bowl. Tellie takes her three chips to the front of the tv and sits down.“Okay I think Bella is Leo, Ryan is Michelangelo, I’m Donatello, and Raymond is absolutely Raphael,” Justin says. “I see it,” Ryan agrees. “I am not grumpy and mean,” Raymond protests. “Tellie,” Ryan asks getting her attention. “Who is Mr. Grumpy?”“Ray ray,” Tellie says with a baby giggle. “Thanks Babes,” Raymond rolls his eyes. “It’s your own fault,” Bella tells him. “I am focused on training. I want to be Beta’s heir,” Raymond says. “Then you should

Bella’s POV“Hey, Dad,” I say, kissing his cheek.“Hello, sweetheart. How was school?” He asks as we walk into the kitchen.“Bella!” Tellie runs in. “Marcy just told me that Jeremy asked you to study and you said yes!”“Hey, Babes. Yes, that happened,” I tell her and Dad.“Jeremy who?” Dad narrows his eyes.“The hot human boy that moved here this weekend,” Tellie tattles.“Bella is he?” Dad asks.“No, but Shelby isn’t opposed to him. She said she approves of this relationship,” I tell them.Shelby- No, I said I’m not opposed to closeness.Me- Potato, Po-tat-o.“Okay,” Dad says, slowly walking to the fridge. “Want a banana or apple before training?”“Nah, the guys are waiting, I’m going down as soon as I change,” I tell him and then I hear them. It’s like a herd of horses, but there are only six legs.“Alpha, you have to tell her no,” Justin blurts out.They have all changed for training and are running into my kitchen to try and interfere with me and Jeremy.“Yes Alpha, he only wa

Bella’s POV“How do you remember all these dates?” Jeremy asks frustrated.“How can you keep forgetting?” I ask, laughing.Jeremy softens when he sees me laugh.“You are so beautiful,” he tells me with a grin. “Thank you, you don’t look so bad yourself,” I smile.We lean in and start kissing again.“Alpha,” Jay interrupts.“Yeah,” I answer, pulling away.“Off for my date,” Jay announces.“Thanks for coming all the way to the packhouse and up to the top floor just to tell me,” I look at him annoyed.“Well, believe it or not, even Ryan has a date tonight so expect two more visits,” Jay waves and leaves.“They really don’t want me kissing you,” Jeremy smirks.“No, they don’t. Full disclosure, you don’t have to worry about anything, but Ray asked me out a couple of years ago and I said no,” I confess.“Why say no?” Jeremy asks, looking me in the eye.“Shelby, my wolf, told me no. I always listen to Shelby,” I tell him honestly. “I’m glad Shelby likes me,” Jeremy smiles and we go back

Bella’s POVI wake up in a sweat. Ryan is like a heater and Jeremy is warm as well. Jeremy has a firm grip on my lower belly. I can barely feel my cramps because he is holding me perfectly.Shelby- He holds us better than Justin.Me- Can’t you heal this or something?Shelby- If I could, I would.Me- Grandma said she suffered to until she mated. I hope our mate comes soon.Shelby- If not, we have Jeremy.I laugh, waking up Jeremy.“You okay,” he asks.“Yeah, just hot,” I smile. “I forgot the reason Ryan sleeps down there is he keeps our feet warm.”Jeremy quietly chuckles. “They know you so well. I have some catching up to do.”“I think you are doing a pretty good job,” I pull his face toward mine and we kiss.“Literally, laying right here,” Ryan mumbles in his sleep.“Sorry,” I say, but I snuggle into Jeremy’s chest hard.The morning finally comes, and Ryan goes to get breakfast. The guys take turns in the shower after I get done and I get a few minutes without Jeremy.“I want compani

Bella’s POV“Please tell me you are both dressed,” Jeremy asks bringing coffee and doughnuts into the room. “Yes,” Jay answers. “So you weren’t going to tell me?” Jeremy asks me handing me a doughnut. “I had something to discuss with Jay and I wanted to not share it with you,” I say taking a bite. Jay looks at him, “it’s complicated and there a lot of backstory. We know it so it’s eaiser for her to come to us.” Jeremy ignores Justin and sits next to me. “Why not at least tell me?” Jeremy asks. I look him in the eye. “Sometimes I am going to confide in them. We are forever in each other’s lives. We aren’t mates we know that but we are something. They are here to help me run my pack. I can’t do this without them. They need me too,” I tell him. “So we rely on each other. I rely on them. I’m not a mate bond born child. Luna Dawn is not my biological mother. My biological mother was the daughter of a Beta who met my father during training. They hooked up and I am the result. When sh
