one of them, they'd give their lives for each other, even the youngest two. But they have no problem attacking

each other verbally and laughing at each other's expense. I'll admit, there were spretty funny stories, but |

refused to laugh at my mate, no matter how much she didn’t seem to mind the others laughing her.

After watching Henry run around with a younger twin under each arm, holding them sideways and bouncing

them until they were squealing at dog whistle pitch, | wonder if this is what Kennedy expects our lives to be with

our pups. There's definitely love in this family, and that love includes Harold, Farrah, and Henry.

My life never looked like this. Not only was I an only child, but my father was always very busy. He made tfor

me, sure. He toldhe lovedevery day. He never withheld love and affection from me, but he didn’t spend

And my mother, well, let's just say that she expected us to represent ourselves as the perfect family. There was

never any rambunctious behavior. | was to act like the Alpha heir that | was represent the pack, her, and my

father at all times and never act out. It makeswonder what my life would have been like if I'd had a sister or

brother to rough-house with. While Henry is an only child as well, he’s always been relaxed, never acting like he

felt the need to present himself as an Alpha, or at least not every minute of every day.

As Kennedy and | say goodnight, Farrah pullsaside.

“Are you okay? This was a lot for you,” she says.

“Is this how all families are?” I ask.

She shrugs. “Not all of them. But personally, | think the Hills represent a loving family. They pretty much think of

Henry as their oldest brother, so he’s included in that bond which is why they torment him just as much as they

torment each other. None of it is meant in a mean way. It's good sibling fun, something you never had.”

“Henry didn’t either,” | say.

“Yes and no. He allowed himself to get to know the Hills in a way that you never did. Which is probably why they

consider him an older brother but not you. They did try to include you tonight, but you kept yourself out of the

inner circle. Maybe someday you'll feel comfortable enough to let them pull you into their inner circle.”

“I don’t think | could ever be that carefree,” | say, frowning and watching Henry hold up the twins so they can

say goodnight to Kennedy.

“It isn’t about whether or not you could be that carefree, Quirin. It's about whether or not you'll allow yourself to

be that way. Think about it,” she says, before walking over to Harold and taking his hand.

When Kennedy comes over to me, | take her hand and lead her to our room. When wé get there, she turns to me.

“You were very quiet tonight. | know they're a lot to take in. | noticed the pack kept their distance,” she says.

“That probably had more to do with Bradley's looming presence then the pack members themselves.”

“Well, I know it was probably hard for you, but | appreciate you hanging in there tonight. I've missed my family,”

she says, walking over and smiling up at me.

I pull her into my arms, looking down at her. “Did you really se rat's leg and nurse it back to health?” | ask,

referencing something that Wendy said earlier.

“Well, to be fair, | thought it was a really big mouse,” she says, makingsmile at her. | watch her eyes track to

my lips and she begins to bite her bottom lip. The sight makesgrowl and reach up and pull her lip from her

teeth. The sweet scent of her arousal begins to permeate the air around us.

“Your parents are right down the hall, Kennedy. Did you want to risk them hearing you screaming my name?”

“I'm pretty sure my parents won't hear anything but each other, Quirin,” she says, sliding her hands over my

chest.

| slide my hand into her hair and take her mouth in a dominant kiss. She’s been smiling and laughing all night

and I'm nearly desperate for a fix of her golden light. | move her backward as | devour her mouth, using my free

hand to rip her clothes off of her before sitting her on the edge of the bed and laying her down.

| quickly strip off my clothes before rubbing my hands over her body. Then | grab her thighs and tug her to the

edge of the bed as | press the tip of my aching cock at her entrance. “Don’t complain totomorrow if your

father questions you about our night,” | growl before bottoming out inside her.

Her cry of pleasure is music to my ears. I'm so thankful that she doesn’t bleed anymore and that she seems to

love taking everything that | give her. | feel her light pressing against my darkness as it always does, pushing it

away and makingfeel so fucking light and happy.

I pull her legs up, so they're laying against my chest, nibbling on the instep of her feet while I thrust inside her,

loving the way her body feels fluttering arounduntil I bring her over the edge of bliss.

“You're mine, aren't you, Kennedy?” | growl.

“Yes, Quirin,” she moans as | push her through the orgasm, feeling another one coming on quickly.

“Say it,” | growl, watching her as her hands grip the sheets. “Say you're mine!”

“I'm yours. I'm yours, Quirin.”

“Fucking right you are,” | say, my thrusts coming harder and faster, pushing her over the edge again until her

light blasts around me, nearly blindingas | find the exquisite pleasure that only Kennedy gives me.

I hold us there while our bodies jerk with aftershocks, then | kiss my way down her leg before leaning over and

kissing her. “Tomorrow night at this time, you'll be my Luna. You will be mine in every way possible,” | say,

stroking the damp hair away from her face.

“I already am, Quirin,” she says, her fingers stroking over my face, brushing over my lips.

“I want you bound toin every way possible, Kennedy. | meant what | said. You're mine. Only mine.”

“And you, my Alpha, are all mine. Only mine,” she says, pullingin for another kiss and wrapping her legs

around me. | lift her up and crawl onto the bed before flipping onto my back.

“My Luna should take what she wants,” | say, before watching her find her pleasure while she rides me. When

we've both cagain, she collapses on top ofand we fall asleep just like that.

The next morning, | get up as usual, ready for warrior training. | kiss Kennedy, waking her up.

“You have a busy day ahead of you, my mate. You'd better get up and make sure everything is ready for

breakfast for your family.”

“For my family and our pack, Quirin. I'm their Luna, which means I'm just as responsible for the pack as you are,”

she says. | sit on the bed and take her mouth in a dirty, possessive kiss.

When I pull back, she looks at me, searching my face. “This is really important to you, isn’t it?”

“I told you last night, Kennedy. | want you bound toin every way possible. You are mine, no one can ever

take you from

me

She smiles, sitting up and pressing her lips to mine. “No one ever could, Quirin. I've been yours for a long time.

Longer than the two weeks since you calledyour mate.”

| kiss her again before grunting and pulling away from her. “You are a naughty siren callingback to bed.”

“I can’t help it. | like the way you feel inside me,” she says, makingfucking hard.

“A VERY naughty siren,” | say, standing and listening to the swee sound of her laughter as | head downstairs for

training.

| probably shouldn't be surprised, but | am when | find Kennedys entire family, Henry, and Harold all ready to

train. The only one missing is Luna Yara. Even Luna Madison and Farrah are here to train.

Kier and | stand at the front of the group. “Alright, we have snew faces today. Let's show them how we fight

in this pack,” | say to my warriors and begin the training.
