“How was the visit?” Terry asks, holding Catherine on the couch.“Good, I need to talk to you and Ollie,” Hank says.“Can I come too?” Catherine asks.“I think you two could use a moment apart,” Hank answers, furrowing his eyebrows.“I meant to help. Give a female perspective,” Catherine rolls his eyes. “We can be separated.”“If forced,” Terry smirks.Catherine laughs, making Hank smile.“Well in this case, I need you to. This is an Alpha issue, not boy talk,” Hank tells them.“Should I get my Mom?” Terry asks.“She is waiting in her office, with Ollie on the phone,” Hank nods.“Be back soon, Baby,” Terry kisses Catherine’s temple. “All I am saying, Ollie, is by 30, you should have a mate,” Temperance tells him as Hank and Terry come in.“Ollie will never take a chosen mate. I think he knows who is mate is and just refuses to tell us,” Terry teases.“Trust me dude, with all the pressure I’m getting, I would tell,” Ollie says via the video call.“Okay, I wanted us to be here, beca

“Welcome, Luna,” several Omegas in the packhouse greet her.“Thank you, but please just call me Juliet,” Juliet smiles at them.“She is here for a few weeks only, on mission. I want everyone to treat her well, but we can’t announce her as Luna publicly yet. This is to stay within the pack,” Hank orders.“Yes, Alpha.” Everyone answers.Juliet looks taken aback.“I used Alpha Command, they can’t disobey without dying,” Hank explains.“Juliet,” Sandra smiles. “We are so glad you are here.”“I’m happy to be here,” Juliet hugs her.“Is her phone set up?” Milo asks Hank.“Yeah we installed a program that will give fake locations for the next month. I get a whole month with my mate,” Hank pulls her close and kisses her head.“Later,” Juliet pushes him slightly.“Like Hell, its been two months, six days, fourteen hours and thirty-nine minutes. You are lucky I haven’t thrown you over my shoulder and run upstairs,” Hank whispers in her ear.“Can we have dinner? I think we need fuel,” Juliet gig

“Pops?” Terry questions. “What are you doing here?”Zachary looks shocked. The door to the room he came from starts to open and Zachary pulls it shut quickly.“I have a weekly appointment. Some old Alpha injuries need to be tended to. One day you may have some of your own,” Zachary answers, holding the door shut.“So why in the storage room?” Terry laughs, putting his hand over Zachary’s and opens the door.A nurse is standing there. Terry raises his eyebrows.“Not what you think,” Zachary sighs. He lets the nurse leave the room.“Then start talking before I mindlink Grandmama, Dad and Mom,” Terry says sternly.Zachary huffs, “You were born in this room boy. If I was cheating on your grandmother, she would feel it. It’s none of your business what happens in there. What are you even doing here?”“I help out in the hospital a lot. I’m an unofficial medic,” Terry tells him. “So, what medical procedure requires a secret room and a nurse?”“The doctor comes in too,” Zachary rolls his eyes.

“Hi Oliver,” a overly sweet voice floats into his office. “It’s Alpha,” Oliver corrects the owner. “We may be the same age, but I have never given you permission to call me by my name.”“I apologize Alpha. Beta Mason and Gamma Hunter thought you might need a little relief to celebrate your birthday,” the voice comes into view. It’s Madison. “No I am relived,” Oliver tells her with a smile. “You have no mate, no girlfriend, no bedwarmer, how exactly are your relieved?” Madison asks standing in front of him. “I could make it feel good for you.”Oliver looks up at her and is surprised. “No you can’t. I have a mate out there and I want her to know I waited as long for her as she waited for me. In that realization, I am relieved. I am perfectly content with my life,” Oliver tells her. “Now if you wish to see how happy I am you should join me tonight at Luna Bar. I will be ringing in my 23rd birthday with my best friends, Terry Timmerman and Hank Reynolds will be here. Along with their s

“It’s going to be insane to not have you here,” Hank whines on his last night with Juliet.“I’ll try and get back as soon as possible,” Juliet snuggles into him. “It won’t be soon enough,” Hank pouts. “I’ll let you fuck me really really hard and I won’t shower for the flight back,” Juliet sings. Hanks smiles. “If you weren’t flying with my sister who would have to endure the smell the whole time, I would totally do that.”Juliet laughs. “She is so happy to see Terry she won’t care what I smell like.”“Hey you know about Terry’s grandfather right?” Hank asks and Juliet nods. “Well part of the research found a formula that could help your father. Terry is happy to give it to you.”Juliet lays in his arms not believing what she is hearing. “If I give it to him he might get better, then what do we do?” Juliet asks. “We celebrate and tell him the truth. Then he walks you down the aisle at our commitment ceremony. We all live happily ever after.” Hank tells her..“That is a nice story
