Llost control of As when we saw that b***h Sandra charging Celeste. She still looked so fragile in her
hospital gown. But the
surprising part was how she stood up to As and more, how she managed to soothe him into giving
me back control. It’s not like As
was some vicious beast with a temper, he was generally fairly in control, but the bond screamed at both
of us to protect this magnificent
fragile creature in front of us. We didn’t expect her to stand tall when As threatened the guard that
allowed Sandra to get so close. She
didn’t pull away when As crushed her to our chest, inhaling her delicious scent like a drug.
Mate is already defending pack. Mate is already acting like a Luna. She is stronger than she looks –
He said as he gave me back
control. – I still kind of want to break his bones.
I just smiled at his words as he purred and curled up in the back of my head. I noticed Gillian and the
warriors looked shocked. As
may not lose his temper often, but when he did, it was never easy to get him back in control.
“I’m sorry,” she said “I told him to go help Maya. I don’t have a lot of stuff to pack.”
I sighed, “I would prefer that you have a guard with you at all times while not in our territory. It is not
safe otherwise,” I said with a
pointed look. She blushed. “Zack, please load Maya’s belongings into the car. We are leaving now. I
don’t want to be here any longer than
we need to. I will help the Luna”.
I saw her turn around to look at Zack, who smiled at her. A small growl escaped my chest.
“So… Where is your room?” I smiled at her. Then I frowned, confused as I noticed she paled quickly,
followed by another blush.
Goddess, she was beautiful.
“Uhh, why don’t you wait here? I was almost done,” she said, turning and trying to go into a little door
that was behind us. I followed her and put my foot in the door as she tried to close it behind her.
“Celeste?” I asked. I couldn’t help but feel hurt that she didn’t want me in her room. I saw her blush
deepen and she sighed and
opened the door as she went to retrieve a bag on the ground.
I took in the toilet, the broken sink, and then the futon below the sink. I could feel As rage as he
understood what this was before! did. “This is where you sleep?” I growled lowly. The blush on her face
deepened as she grabbed an old brush and toothbrush from the
sink and added them to an almost empty trash bag. I looked at her again, noticing that she was just
standing there ufortably,
waiting for me to move from the door.
“Is this all you’re taking?” I asked, holding out my hand to take her bag.
“This is all I own,” she said, not looking at me. I took the bag from her and looked inside. There seemed
to be about 3 or 4 outfit
changes, none of them seemed to be in decent shape. I could see neatly patched parts from other
garments. My heart broke for her. When I looked up, I was surprised to see that while her face still had
a blush of embarrassment in it, her head was raised as if daring me toment on any of it. I looked
around the tiny half bath again. While not suitable for a person to live with, it was tidy and you could
see she took care of what little she had in it. I sighed, dropped the bag and pulled her into a hug. She
froze at first, then slowly rxed and
returned the hug.
“We’ve got plenty of stuff at home. You can leave this here. Maybe some of the other girls can use it,” I
said. I only felt her nod. I
sighed, “Let’s get out of this ce before I kill the entire pack.”
“I’ve been trying. You’re kind of taking up the whole door,” she gave a slight giggle. Iughed and let
her go, hanging on to her
hand.
‘Are we ready?’ I mind linked Gillian
‘Yeah, we’ve got Maya and the guards in the car. I slipped some cash to one of the girls and told her to
find a way to buy food for the
other omegas. I also grabbed our stuff. It seems the recipes for the desserts were on the night stand as
well, so I grabbed them. Irigured
you still owe them to Alpha Rhett since we’ll have the master with us,

the door
Weah, I noticed the ce they kept her. This is going to be a long road for her. I hope you’re ready to
be patient. I don’t think it’s
going to be an easy transition. She will need a lot of help,’
he said. He was my best friend for a reason.”
Yeah I know. There’s something we’re missing about her past too. She’s been lying about her age all
this time. I am not sure how
that’s possible or why. She also wouldn’t tell me what her realst name is.’
‘What do you mean her realst name?’
‘While we were alone at the hospital, she said that she would be 20 in Dec, not 17 in March like the
Luna said. She also said her name
was really Celeste, but did not give me herst name. She looked so scared to talk about it. I thought
she’d try to make a run for it at one
point. I have a feeling there’s more to her than meets the eye’
‘Whatever it is, the pack is behind you and the Luna,’
he said.
‘Thank you my friend.’
‘Don’t thank me, the way that woman had As practically purring after he lost control, I’m sure the
entire Pack will be jumping with
joy, heughed at me.
I’ll be sure to pay this back to you when you find your mate,
Trolled my eyes and I heard himughing behind me.
“Duly noted,” he teased, and winked at a confused Celeste.
We got in the car and after she took a moment to look back at the Packhouse, we sped off. We made a
quick stop to grab her and Maya a new pair of clothes, then prepared for the long ride home. She
settled in the groove of my arm and yawned, cuddling close. I was
surprised and more than ted at her actions. Hope rose in me that I would get her to trust me if I
didn’t f**k this up too badly. I just
hoped I remembered enough of my mother’s teachings on how to treat a mate. I spent most of the
drive to my pack answering texts. Celeste slept the whole way there. I only woke her up when we got
close to the Packhouse. I wanted her to see the territory. I knew I’d
made the right decision as her eyes went wide with wonder. The entrance to mynds was separated
by the G River outside of Phoenix
The only way in was to cross a giant bridge that was gated and guarded. There was a massive
scattered forest before opening up to our
Pack grounds. It was modern and rustic at the same time. It had a small town feel with modern
amenities. I had made sure of it. I wanted her to be proud of her new Pack and proud of the work I’d
done. As we arrived at the Packhouse, I had to stifle augh as her eyes went as
wide as dinner tes. The building was 6 stories high and about two football fields long. There were
enough rooms to house about 75%
of the unmated males, the ranked families and the staff and their families.
Mate likes our house. – As puffed his chest inside my head and I smiled, also beaming with pride at
her reaction.
“Wee Home,” I whispered in her ear as I wrapped my hands around her waist lightly after we got
out of the car. I didn’t want to
seem controlling or pushy, but I just had this constant need to touch her. She was tall enough so I didn’t

that about her.
As she looked up, a couple of pups came running out screaming, “Lunal Luna!” with papers in their
hands. They were followed by a
couple of kitchen staff running after them. “Leave her be!”

drawn for her. My heart was
bursting with affection as I saw her smiling around the children.
