Garrett
He’d invited Rachael to the estate for that very first photo of him and Harmony together as a couple, knew she would take many shots of the two of them, and he walked Harmony at his side on his arm. As though she was already his Luna and didn’t she look beautiful, was
absolutely stunning.
She even looked to be dressed like his Luna right at that moment, and he saw his whole unit. smile at the way he brought her down the stairs. And that kiss was not just for the benefit of the camera, but his way of showing Harmony, that he no longer intended to hide their
relationship from anyone.
Though seeing his mother’s reaction to it, made him smile that little bit more, she was down there squeezing his father’s arm, clinging onto him the way she always did; when excited about something. Though it didn’t shock her at all, and he wondered how long she had known about them, she was too happy right this very minute, seeing him with a girl on his arm, to not
know.
He let it go for now, had bigger things to do, taking Harmony out on their first real date, which was also going to be very public, and he had every intention of twirling around on the dance floor and showing everyone in that room just how happy he was, she was; they were.
He escorted her into the Winslette ballroom, and he could tell she’d never been in there before and, though he wanted to tell her his own grandmother had designed this very part of the hotel, he couldn’t at this point. His grandmother was over a hundred years old, and he’d
doubted Harmony would believe it.
Though his grandmother had reinvented herself to become his cousin. He wanted to introduce her properly to all his family members and so that meant actually waiting until she knew what he was, what they all were and was accepting of it. So, that was a little way off into the future
yet.
There was a full five–course meal to be eaten here tonight and a lot of laughing and talking. The place was lively and happy. He and the boys took the girls out onto the dance floor, and he got to sweep Harmony around the dance floor. It was very easy to do. She knew how to dance,
and so he asked her where she learned.
She smiled up at him. “Probably just like you, from my parents, mum and dad dabbled in ballroom dancing, took classes and competed locally from time to time. They loved going out

dancing, they actually met at a nightclub when they were in college and” She shrugged.
“College sweethearts?” he asked.
“Yes. Dad swore it was love at first dance. Mum just shook her head and said it was more like he grew on her, but I know she was just teasing him.”
He chuckled “I had lessons, like proper lessons. I had two left feet” he murmured down at her ”
mother will elaborate for you if you ask her too. It took me a fair while to get there as well.
Now,” he smiled and twirled her around “I can see why she insisted that I learn.” Garrett pulled
her right, into him and dropped his mouth down on to hers, kissed her, uncaring of who saw
them.
There were many in here now talking about them, and he knew quite a few people in this
room; businessmen and women, as well as other wolves from his allied packs. They all knew
that he didn’t date, not ever. This was a full statement to his allies and everyone in this room.
He spent some time introducing Harmony to his allied pack’s ranked members and the
humans he knew, introduced her clearly as his girlfriend, and nodded slightly to his allies at
their pointed looks of ‘is she?‘ though several frowned now and two muttered “Damien?” at
him.
To which he’d answered, “I’m working on that.” And they’d nodded.
Most smiled at him and Harmony and his statement, he received a “Well now, Garrett. Isn’t
she lovely!” His allies understood she was to be his Luna, and also knew she was human, so it
would take time to bring her in. They shook her hand and stated it was nice to meet her.
He stood right next to her all night long, he noted that she also knew a couple of people in
here, though not people she wanted to see. He realised when one woman had the hide to
remark that Harmony had clearly cheated on Damien, to get herself a bigger prize within the
wealthy elite of the state.
His eyes met that woman’s angrily, and she turned and hurried away “Dallas.” He stated only
to hear his own sister Conny answer him “I’ll go, Garrett.” And she was headed off after that
woman. Harmony just sighed as she stood next to him. “She’s one of Damien’s social circle,
so is the man she’s now talking to.”
“Don’t concern yourself with them, Conny likes dealing with horrid gossip–mongers, she’s also
a blackbelt.” He chuckled softly as he watched Dallas go strolling after his ticked off mate. He
enjoyed watching Conny fight and train, could actually get distracted by it only to have Conny
bolt away from him laughing into the woods, and they wouldn’t see him for hours.

He did not see those two again, likely evicted from the party he thought, considering who was hosting it, and how closely they were affiliated with Garrett.
The count–down for midnight came, and he was looking right into her eyes at the stroke of midnight, leaned down and kissed her all deep and hungry, for the woman he knew he was going to spend the rest of his life with. Smelled the scent of her own arousal start to bloom
around her and picked her clean up off the floor after pulling his mouth from hers.
Slid an arm right under her bottom and lifted her clean up to make her look down at him, her
hands resting on his shoulders, showing her just how strong he was, she weighed nothing to
him, he spun them around a few times as he smiled up at her. Spun them until she was
laughing down at him and telling him to put her down before he dropped her.
“Only if you kiss me back.” He teased her playfully.
She smiled at him and leaned down to kiss him, and he didn’t put her down until after the kiss
ended. He touched her face gently and smiled softly at her “I couldn’t be happier, Harm.” He
told her honestly, and she blushed as a few people around them chuckled, and his sister
called out “I think it’s love, Garrett.”
Which set off many he knew laughing and chuckling their agreements, and had Harmony
burying her face in his chest the moment he put her down, he chuckled himself and hugged
her gently, it was he realised, love. Because he loved her. He had no idea if she was his human
mate or not. That was still unknown to him for the next 11 days. But he loved her and Huntley
was happy to Mark and Mate her as well. They were never letting her go.
He leaned down to her ear and murmured “None of that now, it’s just too cute and makes me
want to take you home to our bed.”
Her hand whacked him right in the chest, and he chuckled at her “Owe.” And then the shaking
of her hand a little, hit a solid wall of muscle. He pulled her back out onto the dance floor
before he called it a night and did just that, pull her into his bed. It was New Year’s, and they
should be dancing and having fun till the wee hours of the morning.
They left the celebration just on 2am, and she was tired. Had actually told him she was ready to go home, while he and his unit, their mates were all sitting around as the party died down; chatting happily with their allied wolves.
He looked right at her and nodded, stood up and excused them to leave, bid farewell and had the cars brought around to take them home. Harmony was all leaned into him as they stood and waited to be picked up. Her arms were around his waist and he smiled as he held her to
him. She was more than comfortable around not only him but his unit.

She fell asleep on the car ride back to the park. She didn’t even wake when he pulled her into his lap before getting out of the car and taking her with him. He would take her right up to his suite, and put her right in his bed, their bed. He corrected himself and smiled at the thought of
- it.
He didn’t think it would take him long to wrangle her into moving in with him, not when they were having a baby. He also knew his mother would help him out on that one as well.
Wyatt opened his suite door for him. “Sleep well boss, and let the girl actually get some rest, hey. You’ve been keeping her awake every night.” Wyatt teased him, shot down the mind like ‘if
she wasn’t already pregnant, likely would be now.’
‘Get you.‘ Garrett chuckled right back at him, his Beta was not wrong, and he would be doing
so for the rest of their lives as well. There would be no keeping his paws to himself.
He’d not been able to that first night with her in the club, hadn’t been able to do so in his office
on Christmas Eve, nor all week long, since she’d been here and there was no mate bond
between them. He could well imagine how that was going to ramp things up in the bedroom
department.
He lay her down in his bed and looked at her. The poor girl was never getting any sleep, and he
knew it. Smiled at that thought, she wanted him as much as he did her, things would only get
better once he buried his fangs into her.
Garrett removed her dress, and smiled at the lovely lingerie she was actually wearing under it.
It was a matching black and navy blue bra and panties set, all lace, and it was a pity she was
so tired and already asleep he’d enjoy teasing her through that lace.
He watched her roll over on the bed and smiled, reached down and undid the clasp on her bra
to remove it, and heard her murmur sleepily “Noo, tired.” And he chuckled softly, leaned down. and kissed her bare shoulder, “I know sweetheart, sleep.” Then rid himself of his clothes and
climbed into their bed right behind her and curled his arm around her.
He sighed softly as she leaned back into him a little in her sleep. She was so very tiny, but yet
fit snuggly into him at the same time, she was perfect and he knew it.
