Not only did his mother manage to take Harmony dress shopping, and have a family moment
where she’d cried at seeing Harmony all dressed up. Harmony herself had teared–up as well.
His mother had mind–linked to him as they’d come back into the pack, after having dinner out,
just the five girls and told him everything.
She had also managed to get Harmony to not only look at dresses, but try them on and choose one as well. Though she wouldn’t tell him what it looked like, she just stated it was true to Harmony’s style. He’d liked hearing that. It meant she’d picked her own dress and no
one had told her what to wear.
Harmony had come into their suite and waved the bag at him, then had just stated “I want to show you,” and had proceeded to pull it out of the dress bag. She hadn’t been concerned at all about him seeing it before the day. He sat on the couch and watched her smile at it, looked at the way she touched it and held it up to herself for him to see it. She really did like it.
It was lovely, not at all what he’d expected, considering what his two sisters had worn to their own weddings, which they had gotten because their mother had once been human, so she believed all inside the pack got to have a wedding if they wanted one.
Both his sisters‘ dresses had been blinged out and cost a small fortune. Not that he minded, he just thought it was a bit unnecessary to their wolfen culture. But he’d paid for their weddings without issue, and they’d both been happy on the day all dressed up and looking beautiful, for their Mates. He’d thought that was more the point of it than anything else.
He understood a wedding for those with human mates, but his mother was of the opinion that every she–wolf should get a wedding, not just the Marking and Mating. “Where is the romance.
She’d stated, and as the Luna, she had written a new pack law that any she–wolf that wanted
to have a wedding could do so.
It had become a mass wedding ceremony for all those that wanted to do that, some did and some didn’t, but he left it to his parents to deal with. It was his mother and father who still presided over that.
He smiled when Harmony told him about the flare and that she thought it would hide their baby bump well. She wasn’t wrong. That dress was laced up the back with a ribbon which
would also see the dress still fit even if her tummy got bigger.

She’d really fully accepted everything about him, and those around her, she had no fear and was talking excitedly about being married to him. He waited for her to put that dress away and had tugged her right down into his lap and kissed her softly, loved that she was so very happy “You’re truly okay with me and my Kind.”
“Mm.” she nodded at him “I really did think about it, and well, I was freaked out, about you know, Damien, being the baby’s father. Now that is gone completely, and I was also really
upset that you and I were going to be over as well.” she sighed a little.
“Over?” he questioned “That was never going to happen, Harm. You’d not have gotten rid of me that easily. A serious sit–down discussion would have been had, about what you wanted to do. Tell him or not? But I’d never have let you leave me over something like that.
“I’ve got wolves here inside the pack, that have blended families, both wolves having a mate before and children with that mate. Have a child or several with each other as well now. They
are happy, and the children are well cared for and loved by both parents.”
“That’s different though,” she shook her head.
“Not really, a baby is not at fault of who its parents are, and though it wouldn’t have been
wolfen, it would have been raised here by you and I, inside the pack. I’d likely have advised you
not to tell Damien about the child.” He shrugged.
“We have a kindy to year 12 school here, so the child would be schooled here as well. It would
call me dad, and later on, when he or she was old enough before 16 and thinking it was going
to shift, we would tell him or her the truth, and they’d understand I’m not it’s actual biological
father, but that I love them the same as our children, because they are part of our family. It’s that simple.”
“That is very open–minded of you.” she smiled at him gently.
“When you love someone Harm, you accept them for who they are, not what you can make
them into.” He told her simply. Though a part of him wouldn’t have liked knowing Damien was
the father, he’d have let it go and loved the child because it was also a part of Harmony, who
he loved.
She hugged him and leaned into him, sighed softly “You always make me feel loved for who I
am, do you know that, and today out with your mother and the girls, I really felt like a part of
your family. I really felt like I have a family of my own once more. Your mum is lovely.”
He smiled as she leaned on him. “I’m glad because you are part of this family… Now some
news on my end. I managed to book us a weekend away finally. Though we’ll have to leave on Friday morning, and we’ll get back late Monday afternoon. The travel time is going to be

around the seven hour mark, each way.”
“What? Where are we going?” she asked, sitting up and looking at him.
“Cannon beach, Oregon. Do you want to see the pictures?” he asked with a smile.
“Sure.” She smiled back at him, and he picked his tablet up from the couch next to them and
handed it to her so she could search the place herself.
She moved off his lap to sit next to him and Huntley growled a little at her, at the loss of
contact, and she looked right up at him startled.
“Sorry, Huntley likes it when you’re on our lap. Enjoys touching you as well.” he chuckled a
little “That’s his way of showing you he’s unhappy about you moving off our lap.”
“Oh.” She chuckled and leaned into the crook of his arm “Better?” she asked as his arm
draped around her.
“Yes.” Garrett smiled, “You’ll get a lot of that over the next few months.”
“A lot of what?” she asked as she slid the screen on his tablet to view the pictures of Cannon
beach.
“Wolfen noises, growling and purring mostly.” He told her.
“He purred at me in the woods.” she nodded.
“Yes he did.” Garrett nodded “He nagged me to be put in front of you, wanted to meet you in
his wolfen form, way ahead of schedule.”
“There’s a schedule for that?” she put the tablet down to look at him.
“Hmm, there is. Bringing humans in is timed out properly to help ease them into this life. It brings about less fear of what we are. Done a particular way.” Garrett nodded.
“Which is?” she questioned.
“Date the human, get the human to fall in love with their mate. Move them into the pack, spend a month inside the pack with no wolfen interactions. Then slowly introduce them to the smallest wolves first, and work them up through the ranks to the largest of wolves. Myself and my unit. Explain what we are, shift for them and then explain marking and mating. It takes two to three months most of the time.”
“You didn’t follow that with me.” she stated, and picked up his tablet again.
“No, I did not. Kind of did things half backwards, but.” He tugged her ear “There were pressing needs going on around you, and mother and I thought it would be best to have you moved into

the pack to keep you safe from the Blackwells.”
“Mm, well you did that.” She nodded.
“Fun for me having you here in the pack.” he smiled to himself. “I got to crawl into your bed every night. Though trying to avoid mother after getting out of your bed,” he shook his head.
“Why’d you have to do that?” she asked, “I like the look of this place.” she stated, touching the
tablet.
“Heightened sense of smell.” He chuckled “I can smell you from miles away.” he told her and
at her shocked look he laughed softly “Goddess forbid I close my office door, if it’s not
necessary. Huntley snarls at me about not being able to smell you or see you. Got yourself a
possessive beast.”
She smiled right at him now, didn’t seem bothered by that and he kind of thought she liked it
because it meant he would always want to be with her. Something he didn’t think she’d gotten from her previous relationship.
“We can walk along the beach, watch the sunset over the ocean.” Harmony stated, touching a picture of just that thing. “It will be nice. I’ve never seen an ocean sunset.”
“Me either,” he admitted, “Something we can share together, a first for both of us.” He tilted her face up to his. “It’ll be a dirty weekend away, you know that right.”
She laughed “Like every night’s not a dirty night with you.”

“True, though I guess I’ll have to tone it down a bit, being in the human world.” He’d not really thought that far ahead till that moment.
“Why?”
“Our suite is soundproof, all wolfen bedrooms are. We can get loud when making our mates see the stars, no one needs to hear that.” He told her.
“Oh, I’d not thought about it.” she murmured, but he knew from the slight reddening of her cheeks, she was only now just thinking about all the times she’d screamed for him during s*x, and maybe someone had heard her.
“No one hears anything coming from this suite unless the widows are open. Which they are not… Do you want to see the stars now?” he tugged her ear “You got me thinking about it.”
“Hey, you brought it up.” she chuckled “Don’t blame me for that.”
“Mm, I did.” He nodded and leaned down to kiss her as his fingers trailed down her neck.
