Caleb’s POV“I don’t need to hear your side,” Dad says as we drive away from the packhouse.“Why?” I ask. “I am the crown prince. The one who has to clean up your messes. I should get a say.”“Tristian will be on the side to disown Alicia,” Mom tells us, wiping her tears. “Maybe we are to blame. Alicia has done so much damage. Ariella needs our support.”“Alicia is our daughter we cannot turn our backs on her,” Dad sneers.“So, you turn your backs on me and Ari?” I ask. “What is this hold Alicia has on you? You agreed to release Tristian if he found a fated mate. Why if you are so concerned with Alicia?”“I never thought he would, or if he did, he would choose to stay with Alicia,” Dad sighs. “But in that moment my word was my word. I wanted to take it back, I wish to the goddess I had. Alicia wouldn’t have gone crazy.”“So, you admit she is crazy!” I say. “See, you admit it.”Dad rolls his eyes. “To the public we could have sold that Tristian abandoned his mate and child. But now thi

Finch’s POV“Finch,” Ari is shaking me a minute after I fall asleep.“Sweetheart, didn’t you tell me to sleep?” I groan and try to pull her into a cuddle.“They found Anderson, he is 6 hours from home, but they found him and are bringing him here,” she smiles at me.I kiss her and jump from the bed. I go toward Finley’s room, but Ari pulls me back.“He has company, leave him alone,” she tells me. “We are setting up a video call for us and Anderson.”She pulls me to the office.Duke- Can we be with our mate now?Me- Can we wait until the boys are home?Duke- I want my mate.I can feel him sulking. He has not been helpful this week at all. He has actually been fighting me as I coordinate the search. All he wants is to bed Ari. I have actually been sleeping on the sofa to keep him from taking over.“Hey, you okay?” Ari asks. “You seem far away.”“I’m having a small issue with Duke,” I tell her as she closes the office door.“I think Juliet understands,” Ari kisses my lips but pulls away

DUKE’S POVFinch- You ready, buddy?Me- It’s Christmas Eve, I have been waiting and waiting. Either let me out, or I'll force my way out.Finch- Okay, okay, have fun, buddy. I’m putting up a wall.Me- Why?Finch- Unlike my wolf, I’m not a prev.Me- I’m not a prev, but I like the feeling mate gives us.Finch- Yeah, I’m not for secondhand orgasms.The wall goes up and I don’t care. Ariella is standing naked in front of me. I like her and I would mate with her human form but that is a little weird. Okay, that is a lot weird.She smiles and transforms into my mate. The most beautiful wolf on four paws.“They are finally letting us out,” Juliet swishes her tail as she looks at me. “Ari put a wall up. But I don’t know how long she will stay silent.”“We should mate before they take back over,” I growl a little, hoping she will just let me mount her already.“I’m okay with that,” Juliet turns around.As I am about to mount her to complete the mating process and finally enjoy my mate, she runs

Air’s POV“Let’s race to see who gets ready faster,” I tease him and run into my closet. When I come out dressed for the day, he is putting on a polo and smirking. “My Perfect Luna even gets dressed faster than me,” He pulls me in for a kiss. “Youth has it advantages,” I tease back deepening the kiss.We make it to the den and his mom is busy setting up piles of gifts for the boys. I remember waking up on Christmas and there were piles for Caleb and Alicia, then a few things for me. “Just move that pile, she is a mated girl why should she care about gifts anymore,” I hear her say and his Dad starts moving a fourth pile. “Stop,” Finch orders making both his parents straighten and look at us. “Those are Ari’s gifts and I don’t care her mated status, you will not move them.”I look over and there is a mountain of things. “Who are those from?” I ask. “Caleb, your parents, the boys bought one each, Kale’s parents sent a couple, and of course me,” Finch explains with small pecks on m

Ari’s POVJuliet- You ready to talk to me now?Me- You are a total Bitch.Juliet- I own it, but I am sorry.Me- At least you are sorry.“Hey, you with us?” Finley asks as I start to clear the plates.“I’m here, sorry,” I smile and stand to clear.“Oh, no,” Finch takes the plates from me. “You and Romana cooked; we shall clean.”I am shocked when Turk and the triplets follow his lead without complaint.“I like this deal,” Romona sits back and takes a long swig of her beer.“I guess I won’t complain,” I shrug and reach for Finch’s beer to finish it.Juliet- Nope!Me- Why? It’s just beer?Juliet- Don’t drink that.Me- Why?Juliet- Don’t be stupid.My heart skips a beat and I put the beer bottle down.I look at Romana, who looks confused. I guess I have a stupid look on my face.Me- Really? Like, no lie.Juliet- Your scent should start to shift in the next couple of days. But yeah, you are having an Alpha Heir.I jump up from the table.“What is it?” Romana asks me.“I can’t tell you unti
