  I command them and walk to the kitchen and to the back door and pull out a smoke and light it. I needed to do something to keep my hands busy. Jake looked like he was going to blow, but I personally don't think I've ever been so calm. It takes a few minutes but they all get up and come down stairs. I have my arms crossed and I watch each of them come in yawning. They go straight to the coffee pot. Jake growls and their heads all snap to our faces. The men pull the woman behind them. I'm not sure what I look like but I can't imagine it's good. I'm in full alpha mode but this was not normal alpha anger.
 
  "Sit down"
 
  I command them. They frown but listen. Jake goes first
 
  "After the week of fucking hell I have been through with your girls I never and I mean ever thought so little of anyone until this very fucking moment. How could you treat them so badly that they cry everytime they are told they are loved? That they only believe us because they feel that we are being honest and it wasn't the 10 years of relentless bullying that really made them feel that it was you 4 assholes. How could you tell them the bully's were right? How could you tell them they need to change in order to be loved?"
 
  He stands over the table looking down at them, his body trembling as he talks. They all look to each other unsure of what to say and it pisses me off
 
  "You better start fucking talking before I kick you the fuck out of this pack and ban you from ever talking to them again"
 
  I swear there is steam coming from my ears. Megan stands
 
  "You can't do that"
 
  "Yes he fucking can. All week we have listened to nothing but crap from you 4. Well from the moment we met them they became ours to love, cherish and look after and if he says you leave and never contact them again, he fucking means it and to be honest if I was alpha I'd have kicked you out a week ago!"
 
  Jake says back to her. She sits down and I walk forward and tower over them
 
  "Why would you ever try to kill their spirit like that? What could your own children possibly do to deserve that?"
 
  I look between them all and they don't answer so I slam my fist down on the table
 
  "Someone would want to start fucking talking"
 
  "Where are they? Do they know you are here threatening us"
 
  I laugh at lola, not a funny laugh it's a real scary laugh
 
  "Yes they know. They let us walk out that door and they didn't even protest. We know how they feel, remember? They didn't want to come because they can't understand what they did that was so bad that you would say that. They know the answer will never be good enough so they stayed behind so they don't have to hear your excuses. They never realised what love fucking felt like do you know how that feels? I felt how Ailm felt. I felt how unloved she felt and it's not nice. Just thinking about what you said to her breaks her heart in the same way it broke her heart for you when you all died. When you died it broke her. But you had already broke her in the same way"
 
  Jake growls and the chair he's holding breaks in his hand. Megan wipes a tear from her face and she stands up
 
  "I know I fucked up multiple times over the years. We all did. I have no words and I'm honestly annoyed that I didn't think much of saying that to them then."
 
  We both growl at her but she puts her hand up
 
  "But when we died, we were watching you all live on. We watched quietly, we all realised pretty fast that everyone but you both and Aspen and Luca were the only people who truly loved them. Who could see the truth? We didn't see it in our first life but we see it now. We see how we treated them and how fucked up that was. And we saw how everyone did it and we swore we wouldn't ever do it again and made a promise to spend the rest of this life making it up to them. I promise you both we see the errors of our way and we won't do it again"
 
  "We know they are yours. It's why we have been so weird this week because we knew once those marks appeared that they would be yours and never ours again"
 
  Brian added and I took a breath. James cleared his throat
 
  "Yeah, it was like we had one week for them to be our little girls after fucking up there entire lives. So we wanted to make the most of it with movie nights and games nights and all that stuff."
 
  Jake visibly relaxes his shoulders and he nods.
 
  "Fine but you better all be ready to fall at their damn feet tomorrow for Islas birthday. They deserve the world and we will stop at nothing to make that happen"
 
  "Your Ailm mark appeared?"
 
  Lola says pointing to Jake.
 
  "Yeah after we completed the umm yeah tonight"
 
  Megan and Brian nearly laugh but stop when James glares at them but Brian looks at my arms
 
  "You ascended and did your mark grow already"
 
  "Yep after we fu... um after.. um it was a long week"
 
  "Was that after the 3 or the 4th—"
 
  Jake said with a grin and I punched his arm
 
  "Shut the fuck up"
 
  "Damn you weren't even gone that long"
 
  Megan said amused by the entire thing, Brian elbows her and growls and I look anywhere but at him
 
  "Em let's get home, I think we have all suffered enough for one night, Jake?"
 
  "Yeah let's go home and —"
 
  "Dont fucking say it boy I swear you are worse then Isla"
 
  James mumbles
 
  "What do you mean?"
 
  Jake asks him
 
  "Well after a few days of me not letting you near her she said thank you, that the entire waiting thing was making the sexual tension crazy and she just new when she finally popped the cherry it was going to be intense as fuck in her words Ofcourse"
 
  I snorted and laughed
 
  "From what I heard it was"
 
  I say nudging past him laughing
 
  "Huh not as explosive as your first time"
 
  I freeze and go bright red and I turn around
 
  "She did not"
 
  Jakes arms were crossed and he wore a huge grin on his face as everyone laughed
 
  "she didn't but I guessed and you just answered"
 
  He slaps my back and runs away laughing. I really am going to kill him. I chase him outside and I climb in
 
  "Of all places to do that did it have to be there you fucking douchbag"
 
  "But seriously was it just one pop and done"
 
  "No you asshole it wasn't. Just stop I can't believe you just did that"

  Ailms POV
 
  I was expecting the boys to come home bloodied and beaten but when they came in laughing it took us both by surprise, they came straight to us. Deacon sat beside me and pulled me onto his knee in the corner of the couch and he grabbed my face and he kissed me. I felt his tongue invade my mouth so I let him relaxing against him. His tongue flicked against my own in the best possible way and I groaned. He pulls away and smiles at me kissing my nose
 
  "I missed you"
 
  He whispers to me. I smile up at him and curl into his chest
 
  "So do we need to know what happened?"
 
  Isla asks Jake, I turn my attention to him; curious about what happened
 
  "Not really, when they died they seen all the wrong they did through the years and are now determined to make it up to you both so we are going to let them"
 
  The simple answer was enough to ease my worries. I know how messed up my parents acted. Like they started to listen to strangers over us. Like their minds turn against us without realising that it was happening.
 
  "Good can we go to bed? Tonight has already been far to long"
 
  "Of Course baby, night guys"
 
  Deacon stands up with me in his arms. I yawn, resting my head on his hard chest listening to his heartbeat. He carries us to our room and lays me in the bed and pushes me back pulling off my bottoms then my T-shirt. I giggle and climb into bed in just my panties. He strips down to his boxers and he gets in, pulling me to his chest and cradling me in his arms.
 
  "You know now that you're mine no one will ever treat you like that again?"
 
  I smile and look up at him, he had quickly become my everything.
 
  "Oh yeah? What did you say to my parents"
 
  "That id kick them out and ban them from ever contacting you again"
 
  Strangely, I wasn't surprised by that and what surprised me even more was the fact that it actually made me a little happy that he would go to such lengths to help me feel better.
 
  "Are you ok with that?"
 
  He says running his nose down my cheek
 
  "It doesn't matter if i am. Your alpha it's your choice, I'm your Luna and I'll never second guess your decisions. Plus I am yours and you are mine, if it was the other way around I'd probably do the same so yes, I'm ok with that"
 
  He studies my face, his eyes stare right through me as he runs his thumb over my bottom lip.
 
  "Since when are you so submissive?"
 
  He asks me, a smile playing on his lips. I chuckle and shake my head
 
  "Don't expect me not to fight back but over decisions like this I'll always support you. I won't second guess anything you decide even if that decision is about my parents. Plus I love a good challenge"
 
  He chuckles and kisses my nose, then my lips and he pulls back.
 
  "Of Course you do, you defiant little turd"
 
  I giggle and kiss him again, he deepens it slowly and he pulls me up closer so we make love. We don't fuck, we have slow sensual love and when we finish it feels like our relationship hit an all new level of intimacy.
  ———
 
  "Baby you need to wake up"
 
  I groan and roll onto my belly exhausted
 
  "No go away"
 
  He chuckles and kisses my cheek and pulls me back to him
 
  "Come on doll we need to get up"
 
  I growl at him and close my eyes again
 
  "No, please just a little while longer"
 
  "Nope up you get, you will be fine after coffee, Islas waiting to get her present and if I don't get you up she will come in here"
 
  I cry out and roll on top of him, he catches me by my waist and I huff
 
  "Fine. But I'm not wearing a bra"
 
  He chuckles and sits up with me on his knee
 
  "You have to if you want your present. You need one"
 
  My eyes snap open and suddenly I'm wide awake. I jump out of bed and he laughs
 
  "Of Course that would get you up"
 
  I grin walking into the closet and pulling out a soft bra and panties then a pair of sweatpants and one of deacons shirts. I grab it half way down and rip it so it's a crop top
 
  "Would you stop doing that to my shirts I won't have any left"
 
  I giggle and look myself over. I don't bother brushing my hair and instead I pull it into a bun on my head and I pull on white sneakers. Deacon throws on cottage shorts and a T-shirt but not before I take a minute to revel in his body. He's fucking edible. Each muscle toned and defined. Sculpted to perfection.
 
  "Keep looking at me like that and I'll lock that door and you won't get your present"
 
  I pout and he leans down and kisses me then he pulls his shirt over his head and pulls on socks and sneakers. We go to the kitchen where Isla is practically giddy with excitement. It's contagious and after coffee I'm soon just as excited, deacon drives us both to the packhouse because Jake had to set up his surprise. When we got there we went to the kitchen, our parents were there waiting on us and they looked a little somber but happy to see us. As we sit down silence envelopes us as Isla groans.
 
  "Ehh it's my birthday, where is my shit?"
 
  We all chuckle as James stands up and goes to her
 
  "You're right we can talk later. Here this is from me and mum"
 
  She opens it and inside in a moon choker, every girl in our family receives one on their 18th birthday. Islas was a black leather choker incrusted in white diamonds and Orange Spessartite garnet to match her eyes. The little wolf had the same Spessartite garnet stone in its eye. It was beautiful and definitely a good match for Islas personality. She jumps up and hugs her parents tightly.
 
  "Thank you both so much. I really really love it"
 
  "Good"
 
  "Here babe we got you something to"
 
  They hand me a smaller box and I can feel the blood run to my cheeks
 
  "You didn't need to do that guys"
 
  "We did honey. We really really did"
 
  I stand and hug them both and I smile. Even after everything their scents still relax me. I sat down and opened the box and inside was a diamond bracelet. It had 5 layers of diamonds with blue Tanzanite stones throughout it. It was completely beautiful and it matched my ring. I held my hand next to the bracelet to compare them but I heard gasps around me making me look around and frown, everyone's jaws were slack.
 
  "What?"
 
  "You got engaged?"
 
  Mum looked hurt, dad just stared at my hand like it was going to break. I smiled brightly
 
  "Yeah last night it was actually quite romantic I couldn't say no this time"
 
  I nudge deacon with my elbow and he laughed pulling me back and kissing my cheek then running his nose down it making me giggle.
 
  "About time you said yes. All the other times you refused so I thought I'd give it one last shot"
 
  I giggle harder as he kisses the side of my mouth and he looks at me like I'm the only person left on the earth. I loved that damn look. Mum's stuttering pulled me out of my happy place
 
  "Yo—you- go-got engaged and didn't tel—ell us?"
 
  I frown and roll my eyes as deacon stiffens. I sit up straighter and pull on a mask of indifference.
 
  "Yeah I was waiting until after present time to tell you what's the big deal?"
 
  Dad grabs mum's arm and squeezes it and smiles at me. It was obvious she didn't agree but she said nothing
 
  "Not a big deal, we are happy for you baby. So so happy"
 
  "Thank you. Now give Isla her present"
 
  Isla claps her hand and giggles as they pass her over her present And hand me a similar bag. I grin and Isla looks at me
 
  "Let's open it together"
 
  "Go"
 
  I answer her and we rip into the bags like big kids. Inside was a top of the range action camera. They were pro versions and so cool.
 
  "Wow, that's awesome. Thank you guys I really really love it!"
 
  She jumps up and hugs them, they hug back and I follow her lead
 
  "They are amazing. Thank you so much"
 
  "Amazing gifts for amazing girls. We love you both so much"
 
  I take my seat back down with deacon as I fill my coffee cup.
 
  "You will both get my present at the track later tonight"
 
  We side eye each other intrigued, I try to get in his head and huff when he has me blocked out.
 
  "Not far you shouldn't block me out"
 
  "I have no choice. You both are relentless and if I don't you would spill the beans and ruin the surprise"
 
  He tickles me and I scream and giggle as he hits me right in my tickle spot. I jump around his knee
 
  "Ok mercy mercy I won't look I promise"
 
  I squeal and he stops and kisses me as Jake walks in. Isla gets up and jumps into his arms wrapping her legs around his waist and kissing him like it's been more than an hour since she has seen him. James' face scrunched up and I raised my eyebrow at him. He pulls on a mask and covers his disdain for Jake. It annoys me because Jake has been there for Isla every second since the moment he met her. He loves her as much as deacon loves me and he makes her so happy so in my opinion he had no business in disliking him especially when he has the balls to wake her parents up in the middle of the night to put her parents in their place. I ignore him and turn my attention back to them. She has pulled back and they are talking. Jakes stares at her like she's the only girl in the world.
 
  "So are you both ready for your surprises?"
 
  "Yes"
 
  We say in unison, Jake squeezes her butt and kisses her. A growl rips out of James chest and a wave of protectiveness passes over me. I stand up and bang the table.
 
  "BACK THE FUCK OF JAMES! Leave them be, you have no right or excuses to behave this way. Look at her face"
 
  I point to Isla, everyone is staring at me weirdly but I continue
 
  "That is happiness. Nothing but happiness!! You all might not feel like we deserve that kind of happiness but you're wrong. She deserves the world and Jake is an amazing man who would do anything for her, so stop this crap right now. No more looks, no more growling. None of it. If you can't handle there happiness you can fuck of and this is not Ailm your niece talking this is Ailm your Luna! So wise the fuck up"
 
  I turn and point to the door and look at Jake
 
  "Is it outside"
 
  "Yes Luna"
 
  He smirks at me and I chuckle and roll my eyes and walk out past him. I take a deep breath and I feel deacon's arms wrap around me and he kisses my cheek.
 
  "That was amazing baby"
 
  "Thank you, kind of scary but it felt good"
 
  He kisses me a few more times until I bat him of me
 
  "Stop, now where is this present?"
 
  "This way sister"
 
  Jake says walking past, he still had a giddy Isla in his arms. We walked around the corner where 2 blankets were set over something.
 
  "That one is yours Ailm and this one is yours my love and I beg you please do not make me regret buying them"
 
  She climbs off them and looks at me with a grin on her face
 
  "Together?"
 
  "Together"
 
  I reply and we rip the sheet off and I nearly shit my pants underneath is a brand new KX450 motercross bike and it had been sprayed blue with my name on it. I squeal and jump on the spot and I leap into jakes arms
 
  "Holy fucking shit this is amazing!!"
 
  I feel Isla grab him too and he chuckles. I pull back and look at Islas, hers is pink with her name on it.
 
  "How did you know that's what we wanted?"
 
  "I overheard you both talking. So they are the right ones?"
 
  He answers her and she jumps up and down squealing grabbing me and we excitedly hold onto each other
 
  "I think that's a yes brother"
 
  Deacon says to him and we giggle then go back to the bike and I look it over. I go to climb on and deacon grabs me
 
  "Nope you eat first"
 
  "No I want to play with my new toy go away"
 
  I go to get on and so does Isla and both boys lift us and carry us back to the house.
 
  "Deacon why won't you let us play"
 
  "Jake let me down"
 
  "No way, this is why you didn't get them last night"
 
  I gasp and turn to face deacon and he cringes
 
  "I knew you were lying last night"
 
  He groans
 
  "I'm sorry but what would you have done if we gave them to you last night"
 
  "Made you build our jump"
 
  I answer like it's obvious and he chuckles
 
  "See, and we have too much planned today so we couldn't let you have them. Now come, you can watch and play later. I promise you will have loads of time on them later, at my surprise ok?"
 
  I groan
 
  "Fine"
 
  We both say, but Isla whisper
 
  "Can we go for breakfast somewhere else it's going to be awkward as fuck inside now"
 
  "Agreed"
 
  The boys stop and sigh, they look to each other and groan
 
  "Fine, but we are taking the car"
 
  "Can we get McDonald's?"
 
  "It's your birthday, your choice baby"
 
  Jake replies so we sneak around the house and leave. I text mum and tell her we will be back later. She texts back and asks about the engagement so Isla sends her the video then I put my phone away and rest against the chair and listen as everyone talks.
  ————————
 
  We were back in the car dressed to the nines for Islas surprise party but we were leaving a lot earlier than normal for deacons present. He wouldn't let us smoke weed or drink and we were really losing our patience but we were allowed to bring our bikes for the surprise.
 
  We pulled into the race stadium but it was hours before the races. Luca and Aspen were there waiting for us. We jump out of the car and hug them both.
 
  "Happy birthday and congratulations"
 
  They grinned at us both. I smile but Islas to impatient
 
  "Can someone please tell me what the hell we are doing here my nerves can't last much longer I need answers pleaseeee"
 
  She gave puppy dog eyes to everyone. Aspen opened the boot of the car and handed us 2 boxes each.
 
  "This present first, from me and Luca"
 
  I drop them on the ground and open the biggest box first. Inside was a baby blue motor cross helmet with my name on the side of it matching the bike paint perfectly. I ripped open the second box and it was a full blue bike suit. I grinned, jumping up and pulling them both into a hug.
 
  "I love it thank you both so much"
 
  "Mine to these are amazing guys. You all coordinated"
 
  Isla says hugging them to herself and immediately after she looks at deacon with pleading eyes he chuckles as Luca and Jake take the bikes of the trailer.
 
  "Come on you 2 my surprise is ready"
 
  We walk into the stadium but before we get in they blindfold us and lead us out.
 
  "Now please don't make me regret this, I'm asking you both not to kill yourselves"
 
  "What is it?"
 
  I snap impatiently.
 
  "Well it's 2 surprises actually. You have both jumped 28 metres right?"
 
  "Yes?"
 
  I answer excitedly as he rips the blindfold off and we both gasp at the same time. In the middle of the area is the biggest jump if ever seen in person. Nerves tangle in my stomach and a burst of confidence fills my body quickly changing to excitement
 
  "Well this is 30 metres"
 
  "Holy fucking shit"
 
  Isla says and I can't help it. I scream and jump around like a girly girl but stop and my jaw goes slack when I see our other surprise. Isla is so busy jumping around she doesn't see it so I grab her arm and pull her towards me and she freezes too. Aspen grins at us
 
  "For the next 4 weeks we won't be having a normal rally, instead we are doing a motercross competition and we are giving people the opportunity to pull of that jump"
 
  I turn to deacon, tears running down my face
