I make my way over to Damon's office, and I don't even bother to knock. I walk in and go right to where he is sitting behind his desk, climb into his lap, bury my face in his neck, and let it all go. He doesn't have to say anything. He just rubs my back and lets me get it all out.When I am done, I wipe the tears away."Are you ready to talk now?" he asks me.I nod as I climb out of his lap and sit next to him. It is nice, though, that he keeps physical contact with me the whole time.I sniffle once more. "That is what I missed out on because someone had a vendetta, and they took it out on an innocent child. I had to pay the price for something that MY family never did. All because they felt the evilness from Moon Howlers. It is not fair. I felt something when I shook their hands, and I know that they felt it too. I could just tell. We have to meet them in the common room at noon. There is so much that we need to find out before we tell them what we know. I want to know how they know

Rose’s POVAfter the meeting, everyone leaves until the only ones left behind are Damon and me, Darnell and Elizabelle with Devon and Isobelle standing with them.“I was thinking that we would have a private dinner tonight. With everything that has come to light today, you all need some time to get to know each other. Come over to our quarters by five o’clock,” Damon tells Darnell.He nods his head in agreement. “We will see you at five, then,” Darnell tells us with a bit of sternness.Elizabelle comes forward. “Can I give you another hug?” She holds her hands out toward me.I nod my head to let her know that it’s all right.“You are what we have been missing in our family. I just hope that you will let us show you how much we love you,” she tells me before she lets go.“I would like to hang out sometime, Sis. Get to know you better, but only when you are ready for it,” Devon says as he steps forward.“Yeah, me too. We can do some damage shopping maybe some time.” You can see the exci

I am starting to slip off the edge to get into the water when I notice Tessa walking my way. She slips in beside me.“I thought you would never get into another pool again after what happened to you,” she tells me in a low voice.“I know, but Izzy made a good point. He is not here, and I will not be alone this time,” I tell Tessa.“This is very true. You know, I really tried to get to you that day. I was being held back by a bunch of their friends,” she tells me.“I know it is not your fault. I know that, and you are here now. I know you couldn’t do anything to help me there, but we are no longer in that hell. We are here now,” I tell her, putting a smile on my face to show her that I am fine now.We start to walk around in the pool when Devon and Izzy start splashing each other while laughing and jumping around.“Look at this,” I say to Tessa. “Future Alpha here playing with his little sister. I think he will make a great mate when his time comes.”I can’t help myself, and I start to

Rose's POVAs soon as the word ‘Mom’ leaves my mouth, Elizabelle’s eyes light up with excitement. I must be looking at her very confused because she asks me what’s wrong. I wasn't even thinking when I called her Mom. The word just came out, and now I wonder when I started feeling comfortable enough with her to call her Mom. Before I can answer, she speaks again.“Oh, my! You just called me Mom, and I have waited to hear that since I got here and found out that you were my daughter,” she tells me as a tear falls from her eye.I take the gown and hand it to Tessa while I hold my arms out to give Mom a hug. I whisper in her ear as I am hugging her, “We have so much to catch up on. I am finally ready to accept that I am wanted. Now let me try this gown on, and then we can go eat lunch. What do you say?” I smile toward the end of what I am saying. I step back and reach for the gown as Mom gets Marienne’s attention.Marienne comes over with a huge smile on her face as she looks at the beaut

Rose's POVOnce we finish our discussion, I mind-link Damon to let him know we are on our way back to the pack house. He answers, telling me that he is in his office and would like us to come see him as soon as we return.“As soon as we get back, Damon would like for us to go see him in his office,” I tell my parents.Dad nods at me. “Did he say why?”“No, he didn't, but I told him we are on our way back and will be there really soon,” I tell them.“Okay, well then, let's not waste any more time,” Dad tells me.It only takes us a few minutes to get back to the pack house, and we go straight to Damon's office. I open the door without knocking, and when I enter, I see that he is on the phone. I motion to my parents that he is on a call and that maybe we should wait until he is finished. I turn to walk back out, but Damon stops me.“Where are you going?” he asks me.I turn around to find him holding his phone against his chest. “I was going to leave you to your conversation.”“No, come o
