He returned to the pack and showered in the mudroom downstairs to make sure there was no
blood on him for Harmony to see, and mind–link to his head omega, apologised about the time
of night and asked to have his car detailed in the morning. There were blood stains now in it.
She’d yawned Yes Alpha at first light, I’ll keep it out of sight of the future Luna as well.’
He’d smiled at those words and thanked her, closed out the link and headed upstairs to slide
into their bed, slipped his arms around her and felt Huntley push forward to hold her himself.
Garrett didn’t mind she was their Mate and Luna and his beast had just hunted Damien and
defended her his way.
He could let Huntley sleep next to her. As long as she didn’t see his green eyes, it didn’t matter.
Settled himself inside Huntley’s mind and allowed sleep to claim him.
He was in his office when the news reported that there had been a wolf attack on the
Blackwell estate and that Damien Blackwell was now in the hospital with multiple wounds,
and several broken bones. The reporter had stated he’d gotten over a hundred stitches and
would likely be scarred for life in some places, and would be in need of cosmetic surgery to
make them as minimal as possible later on.
Wyatt, Ryan and Dallas all appeared in his office. Within a minute of that report finishing,
Dallas had closed the door behind him, and they were all just staring at him. “Did Huntley go
out and attack Damein last night?” Wyatt asked.
“Yes, it was my thought that he needed a beating. Huntley was the one to give it.” Garrett
answered without looking up from the contract he was reading. It was of no concern to him.
What Alpha wouldn’t defend their Luna? “What’s the problem?” he asked right back.
“We should have gone with you,” Wyatt stated, and he could hear the frown in his voice.
“You didn’t kill him?” Ryan asked, sounding curious now.
“Now why would I do that?” he finally looked up at his unit. “I want that boy to see Harmony marry me, have him read about our baby announcement and I want him to, for the rest of his
life, see just how happy she is with me.” he leaned back in his chair “that is my goal, he and
Chloe are not happy fighting like crazy over there I heard. She slapped him one as well for bringing up Harmony’s name. Is completely jealous of her because I believe that Gregory and Laurel preferred Harmony over Chloe, and she knows it.” he smiled. “Their marriage isn’t going

to last; She’ll leave him the minute he has no money to lavish her with all the things she thinks she deserves to have. It was an interesting thing to hear; their fight.” He smiled to
himself.
“I wonder if she’s at the hospital right now. It’s her birthday, and I’m betting she’s not going to want to spend it sitting at his bedside. Their fight was about the party she wanted to have.” He stated “Besides, he had it coming. From now on, for every mean or nasty thing he says or Chloe says regarding Harm, Huntley and I will take it out on that family, go and attack one of
them, until they figure out they need to stop doing it.”
“Chloe is pregnant, Garrett.” Ryan frowned at him.
“I’m aware, I didn’t mean on her specifically, but those around her will pay for her words,” he
commented.
“And when Harmony finds out what we are, and figures out it was you. How do you think she
will feel about it?” Ryan muttered.
“I’m not sure; if she gets a wolf, she’ll understand because her beast will approve of us
defending her. If not… I guess I will apologise. It’s just my nature, and then I will listen to what
she wants from then on. But what I did wasn’t anything anyone of you wouldn’t do, to defend
your own mate.”
“They are all wolfen.” Wyatt murmured. “Were always wolfen and understand our ways.”
“Yes, Harmony will come to as well. A period of adjustment will be needed. Who’s to say her
own beast won’t rip out of her and take to them for an insult to her human counterpart.” It was
a possibility. “Just because Harmony is a soft gentle soul, that doesn’t mean if she gets a
wolf it won’t be fierce in nature, not all wolves take after their human’s.”
He put his signature on the contract before him and stood up. “Do you want in next time,
boys? Is that the actual issue you have? That I left you out of it.”
Wyatt nodded at him. “We’re your unit, and are supposed to go with you for things like that.”
“I’ll take you next time, this was a Huntley thing, a full display of his unhappiness over our Mate and Luna’s treatment.” He stated as he walked over and opened the door, effectively
ending the conversation.
“Harm?” he stated
She looked up at him. “Yes, Garrett.”
“Could you run this down to legal please?” he asked her.

“Of course.” She nodded and got up, came to take the papers from him. He didn’t let go of it
just smiled at her.
She chuckled and reached up and kissed him softly, chastely, and then he let go. “I have a demanding boss.” She murmured as she walked away. He smiled to himself, yes she did, but it was just a kiss, and she’d even known what he wanted without him having to ask for it.
“Does she know he’s in the hospital?” Dallas asked him.
“I don’t know, I’m also not going to be the one to tell her, she can hear about of her own accord.
“He knew she didn’t follow the trending topics, didn’t even watch the news from all he’d seen.
He had come to the conclusion that she wasn’t really interested what went on out there in the
world. If it didn’t affect her, it wasn’t of her concern.
“Now I’ll be busy for the next few hours, so go back to work.” He waved them away.
They all chuckled, knew he was planning Harmony’s birthday. He’d already booked the nicest restaurant in the city and paid to have all the immediate tables around them stay empty. Hadn’t cleared the entire restaurant, he could have but opted not to, so she would see others
there eating and chatting and not realise what was going on.
A cleared restaurant would be a dead giveaway, but midweek and five or six empty tables would be considered normal. He’d already informed Rachael and gotten her a table it was also on his tab. She was going to be there with a friend out of sight but ready to take pictures as
well.
His mother was right that minute, out shopping for him, to pick a dress for Harmony to wear. He was going to give it to her as part of her birthday gifts. His mother had been dress shopping with Harmony already, and seen the style she liked. She wasn’t allowed to buy anything without him seeing it though. The final decision was his on that dress.
She sent him several pictures over the course of the morning, and he scrolled through them. There were half a dozen now, he’d narrowed them down from a dozen, and he had his mother put them all on mannequins so he could see them properly. She’d done it and there was now one that he kept coming back to. Was again looking at it, and he knew it was the one he thought Harmony would like the most.
Sent the picture of it back to his mother. “This one.” He’d texted with it.
‘I love that one too‘
‘Make sure you get a coat that matches, White preferably, we’ll have to walk from the car to
the restaurant.’-

‘On it.‘
He’d sorted out flowers, though he still didn’t know what she liked, and asking her what her favourite was would tell her he was going to buy her flowers, so he picked something that was bright and which he thought was lovely. Deep shades of pink and purple.
There would be flowers for her in the apartment, and seeing as there would be no work for her tomorrow, he would send her something to the office today, a prelude to her birthday. He also organised a bunch of flowers to be sent to the restaurant to be placed on the table they’d sit at; a cute birthday box also in varying shades of pink.
Everyone went with red roses for big occasions, but he wanted to be different, because he
didn’t believe he was like everyone else. He wasn’t going to go overboard either. She was
money–conscious and liked understated things, so he would keep it toned down.
Her wedding and Luna’s ceremony would be another thing, but until then he would keep to her
way of things. His florist mind–linked to him when she came into the building later that
afternoon, to let him know she was ready to deliver that single rose he’d ordered.
He strolled out of his office and leaned on his doorway and Harmony looked up at him
questioningly, asked him if he needed her to do something. He shook his head ‘no‘. “I just want
to look at you.” he told her with a smile of his own, and she shook her head.
“You can do that at home,” she told him.
“Mm, I can.” He nodded. “I will as well. You’re beautiful, and I like looking at you, awake or
asleep.” He told her.
She blushed, “Go away.”
“No.” he stated simply “It’s your birthday tomorrow.”
“I’m aware.” She nodded.
“There will be no work for you or I. We’re going to spend the day together.” He saw Glenda, his
florist, get out of the elevator and walk this way.
“Garrett, I don’t have the…”
“But I do, and it’s your birthday. Let me spoil you a little bit,” he told her. “Actually, change that, I am going to spoil you. You get no say, one day a year on your birthday I’m allowed to spoil
the woman I love.”
She half smiled at him before turning to the woman now standing before her desk, smiling like she always did to those at her desk, only to be a little shocked when presented with that

single rose. She accepted it with a thank you and her eyes moved to him after a moment of looking at it, understood now why he was standing there.
“It’s only the beginning sweetheart.” He stepped over there and leaned on the desk next to her. She smiled at the flower. It was nicely presented. “I thought pink, because that was the colour of most of the flowers on your New Year’s dress.”
She smiled up at him. “I love it, it’s beautiful.”
He leaned down and kissed her. “So, tomorrow, shopping, lunch, and a nice dinner. But please remember you only told me it was your birthday tomorrow, yesterday, so I couldn’t go all out like I would have if I’d known a week or more ago. Next year will be amazing, I promise.”
