The fuck…? I couldn’t help myself as I walked around to look at his back. Sure enough, carved into his entire back was our family crest. It looked really fresh, too.

“When did this happen?” I knew my voice was thick with emotion, but I couldn’t help it.

“Early this morning.”

“How did you get here?” Ethan asked. He walked around to look at him in the eye. “Did you fly, drive….?”

“Flew part of the way, then drove. The guy said he could only go so far, and it was up to me to deliver the message.”

“The message being that Grace needed to go to her headquarters?” Vincent finally pulled his eyes away from his back. Pulling out his cell phone, he started shifting through it.

“Yes.”

“What did he do to get you to fulfill this?” Ethan asked. I saw him glancing over at Vincent, trying to figure out what he was doing.

“They have my family.” That got my attention away from the carving.

“Your family?” I was the last one to walk around. His head was still dropped down, like he was trying to acc

    Ethan and Vincent just looked at eachother. The realization that neither of them has seen their fathers sank in. As I watched the acceptance fall over their faces, they turned to look at the guy in the other room. “We need to figure out why they wanted me to go to the headquarters. Anderson is a very common last name, so we didn’t think anything of naming it Anderson Security. Now that everyone knows I own it… I guess it’s not a big deal now. They wouldn’t be requesting me to come there without a reason. Why not just call us up? Why send him?” I was thinking out loud, pacing around, trying to reason with their logic. “Maybe they don’t have access to a phone?” Zach chimed in.Stopping in my tracks, I just glared at him. “You don’t know our dads. They would have found a phone.Unless you want your other ball to match the one I kicked, keep quiet. The adults are talking.” Zach almost looked offended. His eyes went over to Ethan and Vincent. “Seriously?” Vincent shrugged. “She is a go

    “Hold on.” Ethan covered my eyes. He had just unlocked the bedroom door, making it so I couldn’t see anything. “You haven’t seen it either!” Laughing, Ethan walked us into the bedroom. Stopping just inside the door, he removed his hands and wrapped them around my waist. “What do you think?” Opening my eyes, I was left speechless. It was cozy, yet intimate. The creams and dark green was everything. She had my pictures up on the wall, the blanket across the new deep couch looked perfect, and the best part was the rug that brought it all together. The boho style print brought all the creams and green together. “I love it! So simple yet comforting!” Taking a few steps in, I couldn’t help the smile that spread from ear to ear. “Beautiful.” Ethan’s voice was full of love, but when I looked at him, he was looking at me. The butterflies in my stomach never seemed to go away. “What do you think about it all?” I asked. My body stayed still as he approached me. “I love that you are happy.”

    I couldn’t help but smell the combination of aftershave and musk. Has this man ever had a mate before? “Thanks.” He let me go after what felt like hours. Without turning around, he walked out of the pack. Evie had a smile on her face as she waved goodbye and followed after him. Travis gave us an annoyed look before walking out after them. “Will he ever forgive us?” I whispered as we walked into the dining room. “Eventually… if they don’t die.” Ethan said, somberly. “YOU ARE LEAVING ME!” Callie came out of nowhere and stood in front of me. “The bedroom is beautiful!” I said with a timid smile. I wasn’t sure if a compliment would deter her mind. “I know!” She glared at me before turning around and stomping to her seat. “Wow, way to piss her off!” Ethan nudged me and laughed. “Why is this MY fault?” I couldn’t help but laugh as we made our way to our table. Vincent was already there, eating. “All good?” Ethan asked Damon as I took my seat.“All good….” Callie muttered as she plop

    “Take this.” Vincent handed me a little pill. It was smaller, but it felt huge in my hand. “What is it?” Vincent shrugged. “Something to help you relax.” Ethan was trying not to laugh as he walked away from me. He was my brother, so there wasn’t any reason to not trust him…right? Tossing the pill in, I could dry swallow it since it was so little. There wasn’t a foreboding feeling about it so hopefully it would turn out okay. My hands shook as I climbed the stairs to the plane. They shook the stairs so much that Vincent stopped walking. His eyes looked at the stairs before he looked back at me. “Really?” “F-fuck o-off…” Trying to glare at him, but my attention was on making sure I didn’t trip. As much as Vincent found this entertaining, he waited for me. Grabbing my arm, he helped me the rest of the way up. “Did you take that pill?” “I did. What was it?” “Just a little Xanax. Something to help you relax.”“Oh, boy…” Vincent help my arm until he placed me in a seat across from

    “Grace, wake up.” My body shook, making me jump in surprise. “We are here.” When I didn’t move, sparks erupted over my body as I was lifted in the air. “I didn’t mean to make her do that…” Vincent was laughing. “It was the alcohol that really did her in.” Ethan sighed. There was no point to me responding. Ethan got in the back seat on the car, but didn’t let me go. “Grace, do you want to say hi to anyone while we are here?” “Fuck… off.” I muttered in Ethan’s chest. “I would say we should stay the night here, but we can’t afford to lose any time.” Ethan kissed my forehead. “We will just have to carry her.”“Hopefully, we don’t run into any rogues.” Zeke seemed to be getting in on the fun. I’m not sure why but I got the visual of the boys playing hot potato with my body as they fought off the rogues. Someone was coming at Ethan, so he tossed me on Vincent’s back. Vincent got tossed back, and I landed on Zeke. It was like a rotation between them and I was just a rag doll being toss

    “Pack down in Flordia. Alpha Jax Horton.” Zeke shrugged. All three of us stopped walking. Zeke took a few steps before he realized we weren’t walking anymore.“Excuse me?” Ethan heard him perfectly fine but wanted him to repeat himself. “Alpha Jax Horton?” Zeke looked confused. “Do you know him?” “Little too well….” I muttered. Zeke looked at me, even more confused. “You said your parents left?” Vincent asked as we started walking again. Zeke looked around at us before he kept going. “Yeah. I don’t know why. Is something wrong?” “He just doesn’t have a good… reputation.” Ethan put it lightly. Vincent snorted at this. I knew they had worked together, so it wasn’t like he wasn’t familiar with him. “That’s about right.” “Where are we staying tonight?” I asked as the sun was setting behind the trees. “We need to make it as long as we can on foot tonight. Tomorrow, we will need to book it, but we should be able to be there by tomorrow mid-day.” Ethan sighed as he looked up at the

    My body ached from tossing and turning all night. It wasn’t the hard earth that crawled under me, the bite of the breeze that picked up early in the morning, or the misquotes that danced above my head. It was my nightmare that made my fears come to life. It all seemed so real. First one was Vincent shoving his hand deep into my chest. My body froze as I felt each finger wrap around my heart and squeeze. Then it was my dad…. the man that raised me, looking me in the eyes and told me he hated me. He said I was his biggest mistake before slicing my neck with a knife. Zeke made his appearance as the most real version. I was sleeping just like I was… on the ground, in the opening. He came up to my sleeping body and wrapped his hand around my neck. He watched as my fist fought for my lungs. His eyes stayed on mine until the life left them before he went back to where he was sleeping. He had laid down like he didn’t just kill me. Slipping off into a peaceful night’s sleep. The only thing t

    Ethan’s hand reached out and grabbed mine. “Someone is around here.” He whispered. Vincent and Zeke also stopped walking. We were getting close, but we were still a few miles out. Ethan pulled me against him as Vincent moved around me. “SHOW YOURSELF!” Vincent growled. They were looking straight ahead into the darkness. Even Zeke had his claws out, ready to attack. Three men walked out from behind the trees. All of them were dressed in blacked out tactical gear, holding machine guns around their chest. “Identify yourself.” The one in the middle commanded. Ethan and Vincent did not like that at all. “You first.” Vincent growled. All three men drew their weapons, pointing them at us. We had power, but we were no match for guns. “Put your guns down.” A familiar voice echoed from behind them. Instantly, all three of them put their guns down and stood at attention. “Dad?” Vincent’s body relaxed as our dad stepped into view. “Took you long enough.” I was too shocked to move. Vincent

    “CHRISTIAN!” I yelled back. He laughed, as that was our thing. Ethan set me down when we got to the top. Christian instantly wrapped his arms around my legs. “I missed you! You are getting so tall!” “Hey, sis.” Vincent walked up to me with his arm out. With my belly, I could only do a side hug these days.“How is my little nephew doing?” Vincent shook Ethan’s hand. “Very happy where he is at.” Vincent has been a little of a recluse this last year. Finding out the truth, being a full-time day and looking for a beta has kept him from coming around as often. Fortuantly, everyone has sympathized with him. They have really accepted him into our friend’s group. However, Roxie and Zoey are on a kick to find him a mate. Vincent game me a smile and scooped Christian up. “Let’s go inside or we will miss the party.” Ethan held the door for us before quickly resuming his spot next to me. The moment we walked in, my breath was caught in my throat. It was just like I imagined it to be. A larg

    1 year later“Grace! We got to go! Everyone is waiting for us!” Ethan was standing at our bedroom door. “I’m COMING!” I growled back. My swollen belly was ready to pop at any moment. Our little baby boy was loving kicking his mother in the lungs so much that he refused to leave. “I can only move so fast!” “You are the most beautiful pregnant person…ever.” Ethan smiled at me as I walked out of the bedroom. The stretchy black evening gown clung to my body, really making my stomach look much skinner than I felt. From the back, you would never know I was pregnant, which confused me. My belly was very round, like a ball. “This is all your fault.” Rolling my eyes at him, I couldn’t help the smile that spread across my face. Ethan walked over and gave me his arm. “Thank you.” “Just think…” Ethan patted my hand. “…. you get to do this many more times!” Looking up and glaring at him, “I will kick you in the nuts and end all of that.” Ethan laughed at me. I doubt anything would hurt his m

    By the time we made it to the club, I had taken a few more shots, and the buzz was going. The club was bouncing. Music could be heard from outside. There was a line down the sidewalk and neon lights were flashing all around. This was the vibe that I was hoping for. “Ethan, I want to check on the computers. With everyone here, I haven’t actually got to see it yet and I want to check it.” I had to shout since the music was so loud and we weren’t even inside. “Grace, you are a little drunk….” Ethan raised his eyebrows at me. “Please? I’m not going to touch it. Just want to make sure it’s okay.” Grabbing his arm, I put on my most pathetic face I could.” “Fine…” Ethan rolled his eyes, but smirked. Wrapping his arm around me, he lead the way inside. “Callie, get everyone situated with drinks. We will catch up.” Ethan instantly lead me away to his office. It was more packed than I had ever seen it. Granted, I had only been here like three times, but this was packed. More than once, we g

    “What do you have that is the best with crab?” Theresa thought for a moment. “Try the crab trio. There are three different ways crab is cooked. I think one is the crab alfrado, a mushroom stuffed crab and just steamed crab legs with a pepper, garlic butter to dip it in.” “That sounds perfect.” “Great. Would you like your legs already de-shelled?” “Yes, please.” I said right as the guys came back. “I’ll have a crab cake, please.” Jolene smiled at Theresa. Theresa returned the smile. “For you two?” She looked at them. “Seafood fried roll.” Ethan sighed and downed his drink. “I got another round coming.” She said instantly. Ethan nodded and put his arm back around me. “What did Vincent say?” I asked Ethan in the mind-link, so I didn’t hear what Nox, Stella or Rif ordered. “Well, turns out they were all people that went missing states away. None were from the same state, but they were all scholars in hacking or something cyber. Vincent thinks Zach or Derek had placed them there

    Just as Ethan stood up, we arrived at the restaurant. I couldn’t help the sly smile that spread across my face before bitting my lower lip. “Let’s go,” Ethan said before clearing his throat. He gave me a little nudge to get off the bus. “Where are we?” I asked as I stepped off. Ethan was quick behind me, wrapping his arm around my waist. “This is one I have wanted to bring you to since I met you. It’s a very upscale seafood place. I know your favorite food is crab and I think they will have what you want here.” Ethan smiled down at me.“I love this place!” Callie squealed. “Their lobster is absolutely amazing!” “I’ve never been here!” Zoey grabbed Leo’s hand, and they started the train to the front doors. “We have a reservation. It’s under Boone.” Callie yelled from the back. By the time we walked in, the hostess walked off from the front. Zoey turned and smiled at us. I couldn’t help but look around. There was a massive sword fish mounted on the wall. The lighting was low, dark

    After the house burnt down, we had to transport everyone back to their respected packs. However, all of our friends had to come back one last time to our pack and gather their belongings. Since they were already here, we had one last night together. Ethan set up a romanic evening that ended with everyone at the club for a night of dancing. All the girls were in my bedroom getting dressed. Callie had on a champain squence colored dress. It volumized her breast with a completely open back and only strings tolding it up. Her ass was about to hang out, but she looks amazing.Zoey had on a similar colored dress, but the top was more of a bra. Her stomach was open to a skirt that sinched at the side. Roxie was wearing a scarlett red dress. With long sleeves, the top was just enough fabric to cover her tits. It was an open stomach, but one side went down to a skirt that went to her calf. The other side had a slit that went to her hip, completely exposing her very toned legs. Stella was wea

    Vincent turned and looked at us. “Let’s go home.” He whispered and walked past us. Christian was clinging to Vincent like his life depended on it. “Keep your eyes closed, bud.” He said as he walked out of the house. We all followed him. The battle was over and our warriors were collecting the dead. In the front was Derek’s body, Zach and Adaline. There was a rather large pile of men off to the side and a more respectible line of men that were ours. Leo was barking order with Damon, but Stella caught my attention. She was standing over Derek’s body with tears running down her face. Walking out of Ethan’s arms, I came up to Stella. She met my eyes before looking down again. “W-what happened?” I hesitated before speaking. I wasn’t sure how this was going to impact our friendship. Though it had already been rocky as it was. “Grace?” Rif walked up behind Stella. Putting a hand around his waist, he nodded. “Whatever it is, just tell us.” I knew I had everyone’s attention at this point.

    Grabbing a lock of hair, I twisted it in my fingers. “You know Vincent, she used Derek’s weakness and let him believe for three years that he betrayed you.” Vincent’s hand wrapped around his neck. He squeezed hard enough to make her hurt but not enough to stop the breathing. “What should I do? Kill her or put her in my dungeon to years’ worth of torture?” “I’m sorry! I can turn my life around and be the mother that Christian deserves. I only ever wanted to be a mate to you.” She batted her eyelashes at Vincent. His grip tightened around her neck. “Nothing I do will be enough. It won’t be enough to vengue Derek, my dad or the years of head games you put on our son that I’ll have to fix.” Tighter, he squeezed until his hand started shaking. “I regret ever sleeping with you, ever touching you, or even meeting you. The only good thing in my life is Christian. I’m going to take your body and make a mockery of it. You will be an example of what it means to cross me. I’m more powerful than

    Ethan, Vincent, and I just stared at her with our mouths hanging open. “Derek thought he betrayed Vincent. He did everything to keep Vincent out of danger and keep his kid safe and you were playing him.” My anger was rising as her words sank in. “You let Derek live with this weight on him for years.” Adaline shrugged. “Who is Derek to me?” She mirrored those words, knowing it was going to get under my skin. “Now, my child is an heir to not only the mafia family, but to a very powerful wolf pack and a blood relative to a very profitable security business.”“You never wanted me to create a program. All this was a lie to get the three of us here.” The truth came crashing down on me.Marco pointed his gun at me. “You are a very hard person to get ahold of. I told Zach to kidnap you by any means needed. He almost got you fucking killed. I’m happy you survived, but yes, however, Ethan was only part of it because he mated to you. I just wanted Vincent and you.” “Your dad was incredibly ann
