Vivianna POV

I took a deep breath and returned to Sebastian's office. I walked in, "Sorry about that" I muttered, flashing a brilliant smile. My phone rang and it was my adoptive father. "Garrett" I breathed, so happy to hear from him. "Hello" he said easily. He was a beast killer by trade, coincidental that he adopted a tribrid as his own. He only hunted monsters that could not contain themselves, those who did not threaten weaker species were permitted to live. He underwent dangerous and often lethal mutations to achieve this. He was a normal human until then, now he has some supernatural capabilities that are further exaggerated upon the ingestion of elixirs. Another beast killer was Victor, he sort of was a father figure to Garrett, so he was a grandfather of sorts to me, but I called him Uncle. They raised me and loved me like their own despite what I was. They had extended lifetimes, immortal until killed, and for that I was grateful. I was going to ensure they were never hurt. I had not seen them in a little over a month and I desperately missed them. They were historically devoid of emotion, but he always showed me love and compassion in their own way. Many thought the mutations took their feelings too, but I did not believe that to be true from personal experience. "How are you?" He asked gently, he had a spider sense for when there was something significant going on with me. I looked at Sebastian and excused myself to go to my room. "I am okay, I found my mate" I said lowly. "Did you now?" he questioned. "Yes, he is resistant to the bond, but it is not in our nature to resist. Plus, now with the whole only can get it up for me--" I started, "Vivianna" he interrupted uncomfortably, clearly not wanting to know the rest of my sentence. I giggled. "I miss you Ger" I admitted. "And I you, when can Victor and I visit?" he asked. "Whenever you want!" I insisted. He chuckled. "I can transport you both here? Stay for a month?" I inquired. I knew he hated to be transported. "Negatory on the transport for us, but we can stay that time so long as you take on some contracts with us. We can be there in a week" Garrett responded. I was giddy with excitement, but remembered I needed to keep my emotions in check. "Control, Viv" he reminded me. I took a calming breath. The power in me, it was volatile at times, but only when my emotions went rampant. Emotions that I felt too strongly could be dangerous for those around me, the more negatively intense the worst it was. An intense positive emotion really held no adverse effects, but it left me more vulnerable which could lead me to a more intense negative reaction contributing to the volatility. "I am so excited" I gushed. "As are we" he responded calmly. "I'm sorry we cannot stay longer" he admitted. I knew why. I could become dangerous around them, I was too protective. There was no line I was not willing to cross for the people I loved. Beast killers invoked... trouble where they went. They were ostracized and demonized until they are needed. They are undervalued and underappreciated and often were threatened by more than beasts trying to claim their lives. Just thinking about losing one of them made my blood boil. I thought remorsefully at a couple of villages I have leveled in the last few centuries because they threatened my family. "Viv, we are here and we love you" Ger said calmly. He knew. He knew I was losing it. I let his words settle in my head, feeling control come back to me. "I am sorry. I will do better, please still visit" I pleaded. I was lucky Sebastian was so overwhelmingly adored by the werewolf community, I never had to even encounter the kind of pushback that Ger and Victor received. "Of course, we will see you in one week. I have a surprise for you. We look forward to meeting your mate, he better adjust his attitude by then." He warned. I laughed at my sweet, deadly father. "Sounds good Ger, see you then. Tell Victor I am excited to see him. Goodbye" I responded. "As you wish. Goodbye" he said before hanging up the phone. I practically skipped back to Sebastian's office where he was in a heated discussion with Theo. "Sebastian" I squealed, effectively ceasing their heated conversation . "Viv?" he questioned. "Garrett and Victor are coming to visit!" I exclaimed. Sebastian smiled knowingly. "Who the fuck is Garrett and Victor?" Theo seethed. "The most important people in my life, so you better put some fucking respect on their names" I seethed. I could feel my control thinning, a few papers flew around. Theo looked taken aback, he assessed the situation quickly and said nothing but he grumbled, clear it was not wise to push me. I felt my control come back to me. "I am so excited to see them again, Viv" Seb measured, hinting they were no romantic threat to Theo which is why I am sure he was having such a negative reaction. The overwhelming happiness returned. "I have missed them so, they get to stay for a whole month" I beamed. Theo made a disapproving face, but said nothing. "When will they be here love?" Seb asked adoringly. "In one week!!" I could barely contain my excitement. "I miss them so much" I said quietly. "Who the fuck are these people" Theo seethed, threatening to lose control. I took a deep breath, he did not know who these were and likely heard a male name in association with his mate. I allowed my mind to calm. "You will meet them soon enough" I answered calmly. He huffed and stormed out. I giggled as Seb gave me a knowing look. "That was not very nice, Viv" he teased. I giggled. "I wish I was in more control of myself, they would be able to stay longer if I could" I sighed. "They are always so calm and collected, I wish I could be too. They are my kryptonite. I have done... terrible things for their safety" I admitted. More disappointed in myself than I had been in a very long time. "You love in equal parts of fierce and unconditional, there is nothing to be ashamed of for that" Sebastian soothed. He was so kind. "The recipient of your love, in any capacity, is the luckiest person alive" he assured me. I went over and hugged him, laying my head on his chest. I did not feel the tingles I felt when I was with Theo, but I felt the warmth and love emanate off of him. In one week I would get to see my family. "Well don't you two look fucking cozy" Theo spat from the door frame. I giggled. "Are you jealous, Theo" I teased as I untangle myself from Seb, much to Sebastian's annoyance. "No, of course not, don't be daft Vivianna" he retorted. I smiled. "Could've fooled me" I pressed, I walked over to him, stepping right up to him. He swallowed hard and tightened his folded arms. Aware of Sebastian right behind me, "If you will excuse me, I need to go to my office" I said softly. He blinked a few times, the close proximity making his brain as fuzzy as mine. He nodded sharply before moving out of my way so I could pass. I made it halfway down the hallway before turning back, "When you have a moment, please come find me to brief me on my Luna duties for your pack" I called. Calling myself his Luna must have triggered the wolf part of his brain to shut down momentarily. He relished in the moment, that much was visible, "Very well" he responded finally, embarrassed. I smiled, I loved the effect I had on him. I found my office, snapping my fingers and changing the office to my liking. I got to work, filling out the request forms from Seb's pack.
