Garrett
They ate a late breakfast in the dining hall and his mother and father strolled in and sat down
across from them. “You son, are cheeky to no end. And I should punish you.” his mother
stated as she sat down, but she was smiling the entire time.
Garrett leaned back in his chair, draping his arm along Harmony’s chair, and he smiled at his
mother “When did you figure it out?” he asked.
“Boxing Day.” She smiled at him, “you didn’t make it back to your room, your father was also
smiling and trying not to the entire time.”
He looked at his father, who just shrugged at him, “I’m not so good at keeping things a secret
from my wife, it seems.”
He watched his mother place a gift on the table: “For the two of you.” she stated “But
Harmony should open it.”
He nodded, joint gifts to an Alpha and Luna were usually opened by the Luna herself.
Harmony looked at him, and he smiled at her. “I told you it would all be fine, you can open that.
He tugged on her ear.
“More than fine.” His mother stated “Scott and I are very happy, Harmony, to see the two of
you as a couple.”
“Thank you.” Harmony stated and lifted the lid off the box his mother had put on the table.

It was a framed picture of the two of them on the stairs, one where Harmony was smiling at
him and he at her. She had one hand on the railing and the other through his arm. They looked
like the Alpha and Luna to the pack.
“I love this one the most. Rachael didn’t publish it either. So it’s just for the family to see, though I’ve seen the article and all the photos, she did an amazing job.”
“I would expect nothing less.” Garrett nodded, though his eyes were still on that photo. He liked it a lot, it portrayed them as happy together. He leaned over and kissed Harmony’s temple. “I like it,” he told her, and she turned to look right at him and his mouth touched hers
in a soft chaste kiss.
She blushed and he chuckled “So adorable.” He tugged her ear again “Finish eating your breakfast, and then we’ll go to my office and see the article ourselves.”

“Alright.” She murmured softly.
He felt himself being connected by a mind–link to his mother. ‘Now son, you’d best tell your sisters you’ll be needing heirs, a new delta and war general will need to be created.‘
‘Why mother?‘ he asked right back.
‘Because Garrett, do you really think during those dress changes on Boxing Day I didn’t touch Harmony at all, and realised she was carrying the heir to the pack?‘
‘Hmm, I was hoping not.‘ He murmured though wasn’t unhappy about her knowing.
‘Why would you keep that from me, son?‘ she asked.
‘Current circumstances and your need to constantly mate me off.’ He answered honestly.
‘I was human once and understand the rules, Garrett. I won’t push as hard as you think to mate you off, when you have a human mate. When is your heir due?‘ she asked.
‘Hmm, I’ve not scented her out mother at this point in time. But Huntley and I are both in agreement we’ll claim her as our Mate if she isn’t, come this full moon.’
‘Oh, I just presumed.’
‘No.‘ he responded simply, ‘but I am more than happy about it… Love her mother.
He felt her happiness come down the link ‘Finally my boy has been sucked in by love. Thank the Goddess for that. We’ll wait and see on the full moon, your heir?‘ she prompted.
‘Kristen stated five and a half months or their abouts, conceived on the 6th of December.’
‘Oh.‘ He felt the link disconnect and found Harmony talking to his father about the night’s events. Likely his way of distracting Harmony so she wouldn’t see him and his mother all zoned out and think something was wrong with them.
His mother was looking at Harmony now, though he had a feeling she was doing the math. about the growth of their pup, she wasn’t going to say anything though. Harmony was nearly a full month along and not showing yet. Their pup wouldn’t grow as fast as a full wolfen pairs would, but faster than a normal human child would, it would roughly grow at twice the speed.
Which meant that fetus would look to be at seven weeks human growth rate if she had an ultrasound, that might freak her out a little and when she started to show, which would be in
as little as three to four weeks from now.
“Mother, I’d like that photo duplicated for my office and the suite.” He stated and saw Harmony’s eyes move right towards him.

“Oh, that’s a private photo, son, I’ve already organised one for your offices and one for your suite. Did you really think I wouldn’t? I’ve even got one coming for Harmony’s desk as well.”
“W… What?” Harmony stammered.
“We are more than happy to have you join our family, Harmony.” His mother stated “I to worked for Scott and Garrett’s grandmother for his grandfather…” she chuckled softly “I see our son is following the family tradition.”
Harmony looked back at him, and he chuckled, “See no issues at all. I told you mum and dad would be happy that you and I were in a relationship.”
Though he had a feeling that if she was wolfen, there would be a lot more than the calm response she was seeing. It was likely his mother had toned herself down due to Harmony being human. Otherwise, she’d be talking about a Luna Ceremony right this very second.
At least his mother was containing herself, though he wondered just how long she would do
that, he was willing to bet only until the upcoming full moon, if he scented Harmony out,
things were likely to change very quickly. But he was willing to bet she was planning already inside that mind of hers. That wedding planner and being a Luna, wanting to plan a Luna
Ceremony as well, likely itching to get into the planning.
He walked with Harmony to his office and he was not surprised to see Wyatt sitting in there.
He smiled up at the two of them. “You’ll have to excuse Ryan and Dallas, they’re still sleeping,
from my understanding. We’re not likely to see either of them till after lunch or in the evening.”
“You’re up?” Garrett asked.
“Hmm, so are you… I also took your advice for that birthday gift for Melody, and she was very
happy, currently sleeping in herself today. But I figured one of us should be up and didn’t think
it was going to be you.”
“Alright, the article?” he asked.
“I’ve got it ready for the two of you to see, come and sit.” He put that laptop on his lap on the
coffee table and got up from the couch so that they could sit down together. “It’s lovely and
over shadowing everything else, I also here there’s press outside the gates waiting to get a
picture of the…and I quote ‘Lovely couple‘.” Wyatt chuckled softly.
Garrett sat with Harmony next to him, and they saw Rachael’s article; it was a full two–page
spread his and Harmony’s picture coming down the stairs inside the packhouse was the
largest picture, to be seen on that first page. And then there was one of them kissing on those
stairs.

There were also others of his unit and their mates. One of his mother’s joy at seeing them on
the stairs together, it was conveyed very nicely. There was also one of his mother hugging
Harmony.
Rachael was showing the public that his friends and family were all happy and welcoming, of
Harmony being with Garrett. It was titled ‘Garrett Owens off the market‘ and exclusive by Rachael Greenbay. And his emailed responses to her questions were all neatly wrapped up in
her article, and that second page were the photos she’d taken of them at Harmony’s city
apartment, and of them at the Winslette last night. She’d taken pictures of them dancing and
kissing. She even managed to get one of him holding Harmony off the ground and Harmony
smiling down at him. It was actually a very lovely moment to capture, and anyone looking at it
could see they were happy together.
He sat back and smiled at the pictures, everything had gone well and there were no negative
comments. All mostly stated they wanted Harmony to be happy or were glad that she could
move on, and be happy after all that had gone on.
There were a few comments about Garrett himself about him being a well–known bachelor of
20 years and that he looked more than happy, finally found himself a woman he could see
himself with.
There were a few comments of ‘I see wedding bells.‘ and ‘Will the next announcement be an
engagement?‘ and lots of likes were attached to the article. Garrett watched Harmony shake
her head at those comments, and he heard Wyatt murmur amusement lacing his voice “it’ll be
more like a baby announcement.” He looked at both of them and nodded, knew they were pregnant. “We’ll also be using Rachael for that, I think. She’s already asked me about further
exclusivities where you and Harmony are concerned. I agreed seeing as she’s done so much for you.”
“Making that girl some money, and to be in high demand, are we?” Garrett smiled at his Beta.
“Yes, look at how good she is at her job, nothing was made up, all based on actual facts. She was very thorough in her investigations, did justice to the truth. Like she always does.” Wyatt
nodded.
“That she did. She’ll be in high demand, get job offers from other papers, I imagine.” Garrett
nodded.
“So that baby you’re both having you’ll let her announce it to the world?”
“Yes,” he nodded, “I don’t see why not, when the time is right, of course.”
“Of course.” Wyatt nodded himself.

“I can only imagine the office will be a bit hectic tomorrow,” Garrett murmured thoughtfully.
“Yes, likely there will be lots of press trying to snap pictures of you two. How do you want to
handle that?” Wyatt asked.
“Let’s wait and see, but prep the security to put up the crowd control barriers, if needed, to keep them at a distance.”
