Luca’s POV“So, what on earth are we going to do next year for our 20th?” Emmett asks, as we drive home from the portal. Sam had orbed the Fury home for us.“I have no idea,” I laugh, playing with my wedding ring.“Feels strange, right?” He asks. I see him also playing with his.“Yeah. I wore chains as a pup, but nothing since the kids were old enough to pull.” I laugh.“Orlando. Let’s go back and do our Babymoon again,” Emmett declares.“Hell, yeah! That sounds amazing,” I smile at him.“Oh yeah, I’ll get on that,” he smiles, as we pull up to the packhouse.“No welcoming committee?” I say, confused. I texted the kids that we were on the way.“They are teenagers, let it be” Emmett tells me.I open the door for him, and we step into the house.“SURPRISE!” Everyone, and I do mean EVERYONE, every Wallace, my parents, Aunt Kass, Uncle Edward, even Cindy, Alex and Martin, Clint, Melissa, Micah, Drake, Zak, their mates. Dillon, with Trevor and his mate, the Silver Springs delegation, e
Saturn’s POV“Eight weeks,” Phoenix pouts at me. “Can I ask a weird and awkward question?”“Better than anyone I know,” I answer, packing my clothes up.She rolls her eyes, “Are you going to have sex with Dennis?”That was blunt. “Would it upset you if I say yes?”“It’s not that,” She shifts in the bed. “It’s like this, if you enjoy it so much that I can’t please you anymore, will we break up?”“Sweetheart,” I climb on the bed and look her in the eyes. “I thought you knew; Dennis is my mate. When he turns 18, we are going to haze. You and I will have to break up then.”“Yeah,” she looks so sad.“I think this summer will be good for us.” I stroke her face. “You need to find some friends who aren’t me.”“I don’t want friends that aren’t you,” she whispers.We start kissing and it doesn’t stop there. Our hands start roaming. I love the way she knows my body. And I know the way she likes to be touched. We are laying down, still kissing.“Pants off,” I growl, making her giggle.Tasting her
Saturn’s POVAs I step through the portal, I smell him. He has always smelled of chocolate and bananas. I just can’t help but bury my face in his chest and inhale deeply. He buries himself into my neck and damn, I’m weak in the knees.“I missed you so much,” He whispers.“I didn’t realize, until now, how much I missed you.” I look up at him and he cups my face. “Kiss me, please.”Dennis smiles all the way to his eyes and gently places his lips to mine. I need more, so I grip his hair and deepen the kiss. He moves his hands to my back and presses us closer together. I can’t believe I ever wanted to leave his arms. But then, that gut feeling that this isn’t enough. I miss Phoenix. How can I miss her when I am in the arms of my mate?I push thoughts of Phoenix from my head and focus on my mate, whose lips are on mine. I open my mouth slightly and Dennis deepens the kiss, further.“Okay, okay.” We hear Rona calling to us. “That is enough.”“I am driving the sedan, get in,” Dennis tells me
Saturn’s POVDennis and I are standing at the entrance to the portal. Phoenix should be here any second. When we see someone come through, Dennis and I get excited.“Hey, guys,” Daddy smiles, removing his glasses.“Daddy, where is she?” I ask, annoyed.“I haven’t seen my daughter in three weeks. I can’t get a hug and an 'I love you, Daddy'. I did fly Phoenix up here,” Daddy smirks.“You also knew she belonged here with us, but kept it quiet,” I retort, narrowing my eyes.“I thought you wanted a surprise haze, so did Dad,” Daddy smirks and winks at me.“Alpha, no offense, but can I meet Phoenix please,” Dennis asks.“Sure,” Daddy looks at the portal.Finally, she emerges.I crash into her and lock my lips to hers. It’s the mini haze I knew would happen.“Holy shit,” Dennis says, looking at Phoenix.“WOW,” Phoenix says, seeing Dennis.“It's okay, you are mates too,” I smile and let them have a moment. “Thanks, Daddy. I’m kinda sorry I figured it out.”“Dad and I thought you might, you a
Saturn’s POV“Hey, girl,” I smile, pointing to the Firebird Dennis is letting me drive.“Hey,” Nora smiles, but look nervous.“Phoenix is getting to know Dennis. I may only have one mate when we get back, we shall see,” I laugh.“Walker said Dennis and Phoenix are going to be oil and water,” Nora looks at me worried.“Don’t worry, she can handle him. Not sure he can handle her, but we shall see,” I smile. “Are we shopping just to shop, or is there something special to shop for?”“I just need to de-stress, and this was what Walker suggested. I am really thinking I can’t do this. I’ll never be as good as your dad. He was born an Alpha, always knew he would lead,” I cut her off with my laughing.“Dad is the second son of the third son, he never thought he would lead anyone. My dad isn’t a great fighter, so head Warrior is out. Dad thought since he has Alpha Blood he would get a sweet little female mate, work for the family business and raise a family quietly.

Luca’s POVWhen I land back in Silver Creek, I grab a bottle of champagne and head to my Luna’s office. I’m wearing a Hawaiian shirt, white long dress shorts, boat shoes, and my aviator glasses. I have two glasses and I decide we need some fun. So, I grab my phone to play a song, I want to dance and seduce my mate. I find an oldie, but a goodie.The beat starts a little Spanish then “Tonight, we dance,” ……”Nothing can stop us tonight”. “Bailamos”Emmett is laughing, as I sing along to “Tonight, I’m yours.”He stands up and we start dancing around his office.“Tonight, we dance,”I start kissing his neck and he is laughing at me. I’m half Hispanic, I have smooth moves. My mate he is from a mountain. Less smooth, zero rhythm. So, I lead.“Nice, Babe,” he tells me, as the song ends.I pour champagne. “We have zero children. For the next five weeks, we are not responsible for keeping younger versions of ourselves alive. We are empty-nesters, and we aren’t 40 yet.”Emmett laughs harder. “O
Emmett’s POVI am standing by the car, waiting for Luca to come out, so we can get to Atlanta. We are taking a commercial flight like we did 18 years ago. We are going to do everything the same. Well, we were, until Luca stopped speaking to me over the kids' names.Why is having Wallace in their names so damn important?I thought he would be okay, little miffed maybe, but never ready to kill angry.The last thing he said to me was, “I need I cancel wet teams.”He was going to kill James. So much for breaking tradition.We needed to talk, to clear the air. He needs to understand my decision to exclude Wallace was the same as Marie’s, Sara’s (no, not, Sara, she named her first born Wallace, bad example). Rona’s son is Wallace-Marshall, so that’s out. Patty is a perfect example. She is tough, independent, strong willed, she only uses Marshall for Hewy, Dewy, and Louie. Those aren’t their names, but they have such big lips, we couldn’t resist nicknaming them after the Duck triplets. She ac
Walker’s POV“Muffin, what is wrong?” Nora asks me, as we walk on our final Saturday at Golden Moon. We have one more week before we all return home.“This morning, Dennis had Phoenix wrapped up in a very passionate kiss. It’s weird seeing him kiss anyone but Saturn,”. I tell her.“I caught him and Saturn doing more than kissing in the bathroom of the rec room yesterday,” Nora giggles. “I talked to Phoenix, she says they are doing well. She loves her alone time with Saturn and her alone time with Dennis, but her favorite is when the three of them are together.”“She doesn’t feel like an outsider when they are all together?” I ask.Nora smiles, “she says no. She made the joke that Dennis is the outsider when they are together.”I laugh.“Why have we spent this time together talking about them? We spend a lot of time talking about them?” Nora asks me.“Because I’m getting used to the idea,” I tell her.“Well get used to this idea. One year from now, you and I will be taking oaths in fro
