Chapter 56
Emery
"I feel so out of place here, Emery. I'm not family, I shouldn't be here.” Miss Beatrice states from behind me.
I turn around and smile at the older woman and then hug her, "You have been my family for almost three years, Miss Beatrice..."
"Enough with the 'Miss Beatrice' then, just call me Bea," she cuts me off, "If you are insisting that I stay then you must introduce me to everyone."
Grinning, I link my arm through hers and I start making our way around the party. I'm honored to introduce my former instructor; she's done so much for me and my mates and deserves to be recognized for it. It's only when we are about halfway through when I hear a low growl and the word 'Mate' comes across the crowd.
Shockingly, it's my uncle Brent that is standing there staring at my former instructor. I was hoping that they would hit it off, but I never imagined that he would have a second mate like his sister. I cover my mouth and chuckle.
"Wait, what does that mean? Why is that man staring at me, Emery?" Bea asks worriedly.
"Do you not feel anything towards him?"
"Huh? I mean, I am attracted to him, of course, he looks like a Greek God but..."
I burst out laughing, "Bea, you are his second chance mate!"
"What? Get out of here; he doesn't want these old bones!" She scoffs and then notices that he is beelining his way right to us and turns her back to him, "Oh, my God, Emery...he's coming over here!"
"Of course he is; he's coming to collect his mate." I chuckle at the look on her face.
"Look at me, Emery! I'm not even pretty at the moment! I just threw something on and barely put any make up on!" She runs her fingers through her dark hair with silver highlights.
"You look beautiful, Bea; I promise." I try to reassure her.
"Hello, I don't think we have been introduced yet." I glance up at my uncle as he stands behind Bea, waiting for her to acknowledge him.
She turns slowly, "Hi, I'm Beatrice but my friends call me Bea."
"Uncle Brent, this is my former instructor from the school I went to. She's also been helping me and my mates out of the little situations that we seem to keep getting ourselves into." I smile as I look back and forth between the two who are now just staring at one another, "Oh, I think Decker needs me; will you be okay here with Brent?" I ask Bea and all she does is wave me off.
"Yeah, yeah, I'm fine dear. Go do what you need to do." I chuckle and then walk away, in search of one of my three Alphas.
I find all three of my mates, on the ground, under a pile of pups. I swear if I didn't know any better I'd say that they were all still pups themselves only in full grown Alpha bodies. I remain where I am, smiling at the sight before me. All three brothers look so sweet as they smile and laugh with the kiddos, making fake monster noises and coming up onto their knees, causing the pups to tumble to the

ground, laughing their little butts off.
I'm not sure what I did to deserve them as my mates but I will never take them for granted. I love each of them the same and yet differently but just as fiercely as the others. Instead of disturbing them, I slip away and make my way down into the cells. I've been. wanting to come here all day, but kept getting distracted.
"Hello Luna..." The two guards greet me and I acknowledge them. with a warm smile.
"Hello to you as well. Would one of you be so kind and escort me to the prisoner. I would like to have a word with him, and I doubt your Alphas would be happy if I went on my own."
"Of course, Luna!" The bigger of the two steps in beside me and we continue down the steps to the cells.
"Has he given you any trouble?" I ask the guard.
"Not that he can but no, he's been pretty quiet."
"Hm, he probably doesn't know what to do with himself now that he doesn't have his magic." I smirk as we walk down the lighted.
