| probably should care more that Simon will die a painful death because of what he did to me, but | don’t. He

didn’t just hurt me. He hurt Piper, he hurt my pack’s warriors, he hurt Bradley, and most important, he hurt

Warren. My mate is a strong. powerful man and I'd felt the lack of confidence in him, the feeling that he'd failed

me. No one gets to make my mate feel like that. No one. So for all of that, he can suffer.

| know Warren and the pack will make him suffer in their own way but | know how to hit Simon where it hurts.

He's wantedfor a very long time, he even killed his father for protectingand keepinghidden. So,

yeah, | knew that flaunting my relationship with Warren in front of his would make him crazed and I'd been right.

Of course, | had the added benefit of claiming my mate in front of the pack. As angry as they are with Simon,

and there's a lot of rage there, | felt their excitement when | announced that Warren and | were trying for a pup.

When we walk into the packhouse, Charlie and Noelle are there,

“Luna!” Noelle cries.

“Let's see it | say, smiling at her.

She blushes prettily, looking at Charlie who is smiling possessively at her. She pulls her shirt away from her neck

and | make a point of looking over her fresh mate mark.

Nice job, Beta,” | say.

“Thank you, Luna“

“I was talking to Noelle, Charlie,” | say, making Warren chuckle.

“We definitely have a lot that we need to do. Not the least of which is to have an entire pack ceremony. We have

our Luna, our new Beta female and we need to make a decision about our Gamma,” Warren says.

“I thought we'd already made that decision.” Charlie says, raising an eyebrow at Warren.

“We're in agreement!”

We're in

“Absolutely.”

“Let's make it official today then. Do you know if we'll have our Camma female as well” Warren asks.

“Not yet,” Charlie says as the four of us get sfood and sit. This feels nice, like what a morning in a

packhouse should feel like. Like we're talking over our plans for the day before we go off to our respective jobs.

No one is talking about war, which is a nice change.

“Who are we talking about?” | ask Warren.

“Haynes, he says in the mind link

Oh Good choice.”

“Yara approves. We're good to go,” Warren says.

Is it possible forto accept you as my Alpha so | can get into the pack link? It would be really helpful forto

be able to hear everyone and not just Charlie now. Oh, and Laney will need to as well”

“Laney already did, but we can do that quickly before you go with Yara this morning. I'd prefer it if you could

lle asks. “When did my sister accept you as her Alpha?” Noelle

“Before you got here. That's how | knew I could trust her.”

“Oh, so it’s justthen. Well, we definitely need to fix that!” she says.

“Once we get our Gamma'’s agreement to the position. I'll announce to the pack that anyone can challenge him

for the position, then we can schedule the pack ceremony, Warren says smiling at Charlie. “It feels good that it's

more than just you and | now,”

Charlie smiles at Noelle and then at me. “It really does.”

As we finish eating. | have Noelle tellwhat she did with Bradley. She's so nervous that she did something

wrong.

“Noelle, you saved his life. He's alive and we can fix anything else if his wolf hasn't already,” | tell her, reaching

out to squeeze her hand.

“See. | told you. You did the hard part, Little Beta. You got

that bullet out.”

When we're done, Noelle quickly accepts Warren as her Alpha. Then she and | kiss our mates and start to leave

the dining hall. It’s full of our pack members who are having breakfast, talking to family and friends, saying hello

and welcoming me. back as we pass. The feeling is so much different than it used to be, so much better.

Because it is, | turn back.

“Alpha Warren, don’t forget you have work to do later,” | say, raising my voice so he can hearacross the

room. The room goes quiet as everyone looks at Warren. He frowns and | can see him trying to figure out what

he forgot.

“Until you put a pup in me, | won't give you a moment's rest,” | smile, hearing our pack members chuckle as

“Oh my little Luna, there is nothing about putting a pup in you that is work. But you're welcto putto

‘work’ as long and as often as you'd like,” he says, the smile on his face now twinkling in his eyes. Damn my

man is hot

| smile at Warren as the pack howls and cheers. Happy with our interaction and the feeling in the pack, I turn and

head to the hospital with Noelle.

When | arrive, | see Piper who looks exhausted, and standing beside her is Travis.

“I need to check both of you, but | need to check on Bradley first Piper, you're overdoing it. Your off duty starting

right now. Who else is here?”

“I am. Luna,” Erica says, walking out “It's good to have you back

“It's good to be back, Piper, have a seat. Travis, you too.”

“Yes, Luna,” they both say.

“Noelle, with me.”

We walk into the Bradley's hospital room and I look over his medical file before checking the incision.

Let's open him up and see what his lungs look like,” I say, pulling on gloves as Noelle gets what | need.

“The tissue of the lungs was weird. | wasn’t sure how much pressure | could put on the stitches, so they might be

too tight or not tight enough,” she says as | slice through the stitches on his chest. When | have to cut flesh to

get to his lungs, | know his wolf is trying to heal him. That's a good sign.

| retract the skin and muscle and see Noelle worked around his b cage instead of cracking him open.

“Yes, Luna.”

“Hey, Trena, how are you...” | stop, seeing tears filling her eyes.
