“Zuzu, careful my darling!” | exclaimed, grabbing her as she almost tumbled to the ground. “Waven, I’m a big girl now.” She stated firmly. “Still, I don’t need you getting hurt.” I said, looking down at the stacks of supplies that had arrived. We were all over at the Blue Moon territory; the buildings were up and the furniture was partially in.
Things had been great, and we all knew how the pack was going to be divided. Originally Liam was going to take leadership again a month ago as he had proven himself, but he had refused his father saying he wanted Uncle El to make him and Damon Alphas together. It was perfect, this way it wasn’t Liam giving him something, but two brothers taking their titles together. The official Alpha ceremony would take place in a few days time. 4 As for us three, we were doing great. The more weeks and months passed, the more we were back to how we used to be.

Damon had to leave for six months for a shorter version of the Alpha training, but it was something Uncle El said he needed to do. I also think he wanted him to get a break away from the pack Uncle El kept Aunty Monica at their home until he returned, and she was doing so much better. She spent a lot of time around people. Channing, Taylor’s brother, and she had become fast friends. She visited Uncle Aaron’s grave often, now that she was in her senses. Damon would video call her daily, she was proud of him and what he had accomplished, saying Uncle Aaron would be too.
She was back at her own house now, yet she had a carer with her constantly and wasn’t left alone. Although we were all positive soon, she wouldn’t need even that. Damon came back a few months ago and was impressed at the amount of work that had been done in his absence with the new pack. Liam had put in a lot to get it done and I knew until now he was still trying to redeem himself – to both Damon and I – although we had both forgiven him.
Zack was going to be Liam’s new Beta, and although Liam had been set on having Robyn as his Delta, last week he suddenly announced she can’t be his Delta but had no reason as to why. Well, that threw us back in a loop, but after thinking things through he settled on a young warrior, Bronson, who was twenty-four. Damon had chosen his Beta, who to Taylor’s surprise was his brother, Channing. Although he wasn’t able t o fight, he was still a smart man and that move of Damon’s alone made us all proud.
Channing had lost the ability to walk and his mate, but with his new position, it gave him purpose, something that truly warmed us all. 1 Damon was going to be an amazing Alpha, I was sure of it. He had then chosen Rick, Robyn’s brother as his Delta. Although I teased him it was due to favouritism, h e had assured me it wasn’t. He no longer looked away if I and Liam had a moment. He actually called us out before he left saying he was fed up with us walking on eggshells.
Things were perfect and Kiara had FINALLY set a new wedding date!!! It was happening in three months time! The little ones would be eighteen months by then and probably walking, they were going to look so adorable in their little flower girl dresses! The delay had been long, yet it was time that their family had needed to heal.
“Raven take a break.” Damon called, throwing me a bottle of water. I caught it, flashing him a smile. “Are we done for the day?” | asked, placing Azura carefully away from the boxes she was trying to climb dangerously. “I think we are.” Liam said, his strong arms wrapping around me from behind, sending off those sparks that made me lightheaded and burying his head in my neck. I closed my eyes enjoying his hold, my core throbbing when his lips met my neck. “We are, I need food.”Damon remarked, running his fingers through his hair. “I think we did good getting this much done before winter came.”
“Yeah, I agree.” Liam said looking at the huge packhouse. “So pizza and drinks at our place?” I suggested, as Taylor and Zack came over. “Yes!” Azura chimed in “That didn’t include you, pumpkin.” Liam remarked with a smirk. “I like the idea of that.” Taylor added smiling. I looked up at Liam, he still needed to tell Robyn about his change of mind, something I was feeling really dreadful about “I’m going to invite Robyn” The group fell silent and Zack shook his head.
“Liam you need to tell her, I swear I feel dreadful, and I don’t often care about others.” “Course you do, babe.” Taylor said kissing him. “I don’t.” Damon glanced at Liam. “You know she’s been working super hard, and since you told her about that rank, she’s put even more in… ” He murmured, crossing his arms and frowning slightly.
I resisted a smile, I loved how he gave it to Liam as it was, well to all of us. “I know… and I don’t feel like letting her go… but I need to do it.” Liam sighed. We all remained silent, Liam’s intuitive skills had been enhanced since the curse had been broken and we all knew there must be a reason. “I’ll talk to her tonight.” 3 Night had fallen, we had just got the food, the movie was chosen, whilst Taylor and Zack had grabbed the drinks. “Really, this movie?” Damon asked, raising an eyebrow as he checked the movie I had put on and paused. “Yes, I love horror movies.” I really did! “Weird.” He shook his head and I stuck my tongue out. Liam came over, his phone in front of him as he spoke to a sobbing Azura.
“I don’t like you anymore, Wiyam, I don’t!” “I’m sorry pumpkin but today’s a big people day.” “Don’t call me punkin! I’m not your stupid punkin!” Her talking had improved over the last year but she still called us Wiyam and Waven. I had heard her say Liam once, so I think she just didn’t want to change it. She had also gotten a tad more feisty. I loved the girl. Liam promised her a sleepover tomorrow before ending the call. I felt bad for her, poor Zuzu. “Tay baby, grab me the plates?”
I called out. “Sure girl, by the way, have I already told you I love the new hair?” He said, as he walked past to get the large plates from the top shelf… Yes, I couldn’t reach with my height. “Thank you, I like it but I’m not keeping it pink-tipped, I’m changing it for Kia’s wedding.” I explained. “I love that, coordinating with the dress. I’m coming with you when we go to check the fitting, ok?” I nodded happily “And you’ve let the bangs grow out.” Damon added, “You look older.” “
The height doesn’t help.” Liam added, before they both smirked at each other. “That’s an insult! Hey, I assure you, I don’t look like a kid!” I glared at them both whilst taking the drinks to the coffee table. “I never said you did, I definitely know you’re not a kid Love.” Liam murmured, his eyes dipping to my body.
