Piercy POVBrett was still passed out when I decided to get up. Kissing her forehead, I slipped out of bed. Wearing only shorts, I made my way downstairs, hoping to find the office open. However, I didn’t expect to find not only it open, but the lights were on. “Piercy isn’t going to let that happen.” Maddox sounded like he was warning the person he was talking to. “Does he have a choice?” It was Cade. “He does because this is his show. You will either fall in line or completely get out of the picture.” I grew some respect for Maddox. “Fuck, man. What happened to us being a team?” “We are a team. I once thought there wasn’t time I wouldn’t stand beside you because of Tatum, but I’m drawing a line. Brett needs us in her corner. Piercy doesn’t need our help. He could handle this just fine. The only reason he is allowing us to be a part of it is because he wants to grow the support for Brett.”“Is that what he said?” “He didn’t have to. Some people can pull their head out of their

Brett POVWe were back on the plane. This time, Cade sat on the floor with a laptop. His fingers flew across the keyboard, like his soul mission on this planet was to finish this writing assignment. Beau was texting on his phone with a small smile on his face. It felt good to be able to mind-link him again. Maddox looked at his phone randomly, but otherwise just kept his arms folded over his chest. Isaac just had his eyes closed like someone kept him up all night, and now he was tired. “Do you think we will find anything here?” I looked up at Piercy. He just sighed. “No. Cade said this one wasn’t used too much. It shouldn’t take us too long to go through it, document it, and flatten it.” “Are we going home after this?” Piercy looked at me. “Do you want to?” “I just need to use your phone if we are staying longer. I want to check in on Brittany.” “You can call her.” Piercy held out his phone for me to take. “I’ll call her when we are there.” Shaking my head, I didn’t want him to

The whole way home was both awkward and tense. Piercy had his hand on my thigh, with his ankle over his knee, like he didn’t have a care in the world. Everyone else was waiting for him to snap or maybe just yell. Internally, he was pissed off, but then it shifted to horror and then just rage. Eventually, he leaned forward and put his face in his hands and sighed. “I feel like you might have aged a few years since you met me.” I teased as I ran my fingers through his hair. Maddox snorted at my joke. Beau’s laugh got caught, and he started choking. Cade just shook his head and Isaac had a wide smile on his face. Piercy raised an eyebrow at me and looked back at me. “A few years?” “I mean, you were already an old man.” Smiling at him, he just sat back and rolled his eyes. “You are the oldest person in this room.” “At least I don’t have a bedtime.” Piercy folded his arms over his chest. “Hey!” Slapping his arm, I turned to look at him. “I do NOT have a bedtime.”He gave me a pointed

“Brett, I think you can relax.” Tatum looked at me as she took a large bit of her burger.“Very sexy.” I teased and ate a French fry. “We might own this. Relax?” “You… own this?” I asked, looking around.“Acquired recently.” Maddox looked at me and then at the seat next to Piercy. Piercy got up and moved to the back seat before he forced me to sit down. Pulling the seat so I was still between his legs, he looked at my food. “Eat.” “That was hot.” Tatum nodding in approval. “Do you still feel a threat?” Maddox was watching me.“No. My wolf just hasn’t relaxed yet. She is like … waiting.” “Your wolf has amazing instincts. Even better than most.” Tatum glanced at Maddox. “Does she want us to walk around?” I was quiet for a moment and took a bite. My wolf kept her eyes open, but she sat down. “Not yet.” “So, how excited are you for your Luna ceremony? A whole day, all about you!” Tatum smirked at me. Grabbing the ketchup, she poured half the bottle in her basket for her fries. “

“You have a broken heart because you know deep down that you do want kids. You are just afraid. You rather focus on killing Ricky than the fear of failing as a mother. Only, I wouldn’t ever let that happen. You have this innate feeling to protect people, and you are good at it. You just need to learn to protect yourself, too. With or without a baby, I need you to live. Brett, I… I need you to live. These close calls aren’t working for me.” Tears ran down his face as he pulled my hand up to his lips. “I’m okay never having kids, if it means I get to keep you.” “All the other times I’ve come close to dying….” Piercy looked at me, studying me. “… I welcomed death. I welcomed it because I didn’t have anything to live for. When I saw the darkness today, I pushed against it. I wanted the light. I wanted to feel you, taste you again. You have given me a reason to live. I’m sorry it’s taken me so long to realize how much you mean to me. I know there was some hesitation and uncertainty. I can
