Alpha Andrew felt infuriated over this news, just as his Gamma was. “King Dayblood didn’t abandon his child. He was just deceived in the worst way possible into thinking his child was dead.” He growled. “Arrange an appointment with King Dayblood. I will call him tonight around eight. I need to have everything we have so far gathered and ready to send to him.”
“I will have it done now.” Richard said, straightening up from the wall he had been leaning against.
It was then that Alpha Andrew looked around, as upset as Richard was, his mate would have been even more so. This begged a question. “Where’s your mate?”
Richard gave his Alpha a side eye, a wry grin lifting his lips. “She was hell bent on going down to the Northmountain’s and tear them a new one.” Richard shrugged and his grin became wider. “So, I gave her two choices. Either I tied her to our bed till I could give her my full attention, or she could get the apartment Damien reserved for Alora freshened up and ready to move into.”
It took everything in Alpha Andrew not to laugh, and then keep laughing.

It took Alora what felt like forever, but was only a few minutes, to calm down. Luna Ember’s words and warm embrace had meant everything to her after all her suffering. Lifting her head, she wiped her face. “Thank you.” She said in a trembling voice.
Ember cupped Alora’s face in her hands. “Come, you must be hungry. We made some sweets for you and the others to snack on for now. Dinner won’t be ready for a couple of hours. So, you’ll have time for a nap after you eat your snack.”
Alora smiled. Grateful she would have that small amount of time to gather herself back together. “What kind of sweets?”
Ember wrapped an arm around Alora’s waist and brought her over to the long island counter that was piled with assorted sweets.
They ranged from sweet cakes and fried breads to cookies and brownies. Alora’s eyes were wide as she took it all in.
Kain and Galen had already piled up a couple plates each with an assortment of sweets and were talking with their mother and father. Darien and Serenity were having an intimate moment off to the side, they hadn’t reached for any of the food yet. Alora picked up her own platter and selected a couple of things, a large, glazed honey bun, a frosted cinnamon roll, and some churros.
“Here’s some sweet, iced tea to go with that.” Ember said, handing her a large glass of it.
Alora smiled again at Ember, feeling cared for. It was an odd feeling for Alora, and one she only felt around the Moonstars. Luna
Ember and Alpha Andrew had been more of a mother and father to Alora than Bettina and Allister ever had been.
Alora felt like crying all over again but resisted. Swallowing back her tears, Alora asked. “Where should I sit?”
Ember smiled. “How about you sit between me and Andrew?” She said, leading Alora to the table where Andrew was now sitting, along with the others.
Sitting between Alpha Andrew and Luna Ember, Alora felt a sense of warmth that was like a healing balm to her torn, battered heart. Jaxon came into the kitchen just as Alora was taking a bite of her warm and gooey cinnamon roll. Alora let out an involuntary moan of pleasure, the cinnamon roll was ambrosia to her taste buds it was so good.
Ember let out a small laugh, her smile as she looked at Alora was soft and loving. The smile a mother would have as they looked at their child. “I take it you like my cinnamon rolls?”
Alora could only nod and give an “Mhmm,” with her mouth full. Andrew let out an amused chuckle at Alora’s response.
“Did you grab everything?” Kain asked Jaxon when he sat down with the twin after loading up a plate for himself.
Jaxon nodded. “I got all the essentials, including the game system.”
“Sweet!” Galen said, “Zombie maps tonight?”
“You bet.” Jaxon said, before taking a bite of a caramel and chocolate chip brownie. Immediately he closed his eyes and groaned. “Holy Goddess this is good!”
“Right!” Kain exclaimed. “It’s all so good it should be illegal.”
“If I wasn’t a Werewolf, I would worry about becoming a blob.” Galen commented, before biting into what he thought was the ultimate oatmeal raisin cookie.
Serenity giggled at their reactions. “Did you get my things too Jaxon?” she asked.
Swallowing another bite of his brownie, Jaxon nodded. “Janice stopped by to drop something off for Aunt Camille. After telling her what I was doing, she helped me pack your bag for you. She said congratulations and expects a phone call from you later full of details.”
Serenity laughed then. “Big sis is awesome! I’ll make sure to call her later.”
“She’d find a way to make you pay for it if you don’t too.” Kain said, his tone wry.
Jaxon turned to the twins. “Janice also said you two were to call her and tell her all about the Alpha you two have offered your services to as well.”
Galen and Kain both grimaced, causing Serenity to start laughing at their expense. Ember was delighted, she loved watching the interaction between the pups. Andrew looked at his mate as a wave of love and warmth swept through him. Camille and Alfred were amused at the way their pups and Jaxon were talking about their eldest daughter Janice.
“Has Richard’s mate already assigned Kain and Galen rooms?” Alpha Andrew asked Luna Ember.
Ember nodded. “Yes. Kain and Galen now have a two-bedroom apartment they’ll be sharing in the Enforcer wing.”
