Tristan’s POVI moved Addy to the couch in the guestroom and pulled her into a hug. I know seeing Uncle Liam brought up lots of memories, and I am not sure either one of us was ready for that onslaught of emotions that hit us.We spent some time talking, and we ended up reminiscing about time we spent at Uncle Liam’s pack and how he and dad would joke around. They didn’t grow up together, but they were good friends. How is Addy doing? Braxton mind linked me.She’s better. She just needed a moment, seeing Uncle Liam and talking about dad brought up some memories she wasn’t prepared for. I linked backShe doesn’t have to come down if she isn’t ready, but we need you back downstairs. Alpha Ethan just entered the gates. He linked meI think she is good. We will be down shortly. I replied turning towards Addy. She had her eyebrow raised at me knowing I had been linking someone.“Are you up for greeting Alpha Ethan?” I asked. She nodded her head and gave me a smile, “Yeah, just give

Braxton’s POV I had just finished getting ready for the ceremony tonight. I was fixing my tie of my black suit that I would done for tonight’s ceremony when there was a knock on my door. “Come in.” I looked over to see Tristan and Aaron walking in fully dressed. “You ready man?” Tristan asked as he walked over behind me in the mirror. I looked up at my best friends thru the mirror. Tristan stood behind me to my right and Aaron stood behind me to my left. I couldn’t help but smile. “With you two having my back. I am ready to take on the world.” “Yeah! World domination!” Aaron yelled fist pumping the air. “Always killing the moment,” Tristan jested at him while smacking his head. “Let’s take a quick toast before we head down,” I suggested while walking over to the bar and grabbing three glasses and pouring whiskey into each. Both of them came over and picked up their glass. “To taking over the pack with my best friends,” I said raising my glass. “To taking over the pa

Braxton’s POV It’s been a little over a week since Addy has moved into my suite. Being able to wake up and know she is close by is amazing. We often find ourselves waking up in each other arms either on the couch or in bed after dozing off after a late-night movie or late night talking. I am counting down the days until she turns 18, I felt the tingles getting stronger with each passing day, and it is an absolute euphoric feeling. The hardest part about this whole situation is keeping it quiet. I want to scream it from the top of my lungs that I am in love with her, I want the whole pack to respect her as their Luna, but I can’t. Heck, I can’t even talk to my best friend about it, because we have kept it quiet from Tristan as well. Aaron knows something is going on, but I haven’t told him anything particular. It has been kind of nice having our secret moments though. We find time throughout the day to always sneak off and have a quick make out session. I am head over heels fo

Addy’s POVBrax and I are walking back to the packhouse hand and hand. We should probably let go before we enter the pack house, but he won’t let me. When I try to pull away when we get to the door, he holds it tighter. “He knows now, I don’t plan on hiding this anymore,” Brax says as we continue to stride through the backdoor.We luck out and we don’t run into anyone until we get up to the Alpha floor. Right as we turn the corner to go down the hallway to Brax’s suite, we run into his mother, Luna Maria.“Brax! Oh my gosh what happened,” she reaches up and grabs his face in her hands looking over his busted lip and his now forming black eye. “Tristan and I got into it. He caught me…” he paused and looked over at me, biting his lip. Luna Maria looked over at me, and I saw a sad smile forming. “Oh sweetheart,” she turns to me and engulfs me in a hug. She looks down into my eyes as she cups my face, “He was protecting you. He didn’t know what you to feel, I am sure he thought

Addy POVIt has been four days since Brax and Aaron left for the Alpha meeting, as if the weather knows the trouble in my heart, it has rained almost nonstop since the night they left. Our pack is on higher ground, so the rain although annoying hasn’t caused any flooding. However, some of the roads that lead outside of the pack on the outskirts of our territory have flooded and I have heard that a few other packs have had some roads wash out. Thankfully it sounds like no one has lost their home or lives in all this mess.I am trudging up the front steps of the house from coming home from working my volunteer shift at the hospital. It has been extremely quiet at the hospital, and I haven’t had a lot to do so I am home a little earlier. I made sure to call ahead and let Emily know. The last thing I want is to walk in on my brother and my sister-in-law getting hot and heavy. Ug, I cringe just thinking about it. I have been staying with them since Brax left, Tristan insisted, and i
