Ethan
Everyones here. Well, my dads, my sister and her mate. Connor and the kids. Sarah included. Everyones taking a turn talking to Connor, and Connor's doing his best, but I can tell he wants to walk away. He isn't a social guy. But he's trying. For all of us.
"Our family is a lot," Dad says from beside me. "I was used to it because Layla was my best friend. I was ready for it, but Connor? He's not. He's gone through.. A lot. So him sitting here right now, exhausting himself to make everyone else happy? That shows what a true Luna is about"
"How.. Do you know what he's gone through?"
"I was alpha before you, kid. I knew my people. As soon as I found out.. Who do you think sent them on that mission? It was going to end in casualty anyway. I bought the whole Connor grew up in so he could stay there.. I didn't know what else to do. Now you're here, changing the whole pack"
"His parents are why he's like this..?" my brows furrow, and dad sighs.
"I don't know what he's going through. But some of it has to do with it. He will tell you when he's ready. But I did what I could, with the resources I had. I didn't make new ones, like you are. I'm ashamed I didn't. That will be my biggest regret.. But you're changing that. I know you're made of great things, E. But Connor? You two together? You're going to change this whole pack, and we're gonna be that much more ahead of other packs. Because ours will care about our own. Because we protect the innocent. Because we accept them, and love them like our own.
"Taking those kids in, loving them like you have. Everyone has been seeing it, and of course more victims are going to come to us, why wouldn't they? You are incredible, and you were born to be an alpha. Connor was made to be yours, and you his. Stalking him paid off, i guess"
I laugh, and dad gives me a small smile. I need to process everything, but right now isn't the time. Connor smiles, and then he's making his way to us. Dad grins, and excuses himself and heads off who knows where.
"Hi," Connor sighs, and I pull him into my body. He wraps his arms around my waist, resting his head on my chest. I hug him, tightening my hold. "You okay Pretty Boy?" I murmur, and he nods.
"Just a lot. I think i'm gonna have to head home soon"
"That's okay, we ate already. Lets go and get you relaxing" i kiss his temple, and we get our stuff together. The whole way home something feels.. Different. Connor seems..distance.

"Scarlett is here to talk to you, sir"
"Okay, send her in" I click the end button on the phone. I shift through some paperwork, and grab Scarlett's last check.
"Hi, Ethan" n
"Hey Scar, it's good to see you. I'm just giving you this, with Connor being home we don't really need a nanny anymore" i hand her the check, and she takes it.
"Listen Ethan, I think I can be really beneficial to you. You really need an assistant around here. Someone to deal with the little work. Let me do it, E. Please. We work so well together" She bats her eyes, and because you have to be really desperate to do what she is, i give in.
"Okay, fine. You can be my assistant. Same rate as before. Starting now"
"Okay- yes perfect. Thank you so much. I'll get set up right out front!" Scarlett quickly leaves and I let out a heavy breath. I check my phone to see a message from Connor that he's coming by for lunch to talk. So I'll hang back till then.
When Connor comes he seems distant, and he doesn't stay long. All he says is "Oh. Scarletts your assistant?" to be fair, Scarlett came in twice while Connor was here.
I head to the clinic, and I help out in any way I can. Connor is here too when I get here, and he stays just as late as me. He pretty much avoids me though, so I know something is up.
When closing comes, Remi stays after to help. A couple other helpers stay, and we get everything prepared for tomorrow. Then it's just Connor and I, and I break the silence. "Ready to head home?"
"Yeah" He closes up some documents and grabs one of my jackets.
"Are we okay?" I ask, stepping into his space. Connor looks up at me, his eyes big.
"Yeah, why? Did I do something wrong?"
"No- no i thought i did something wrong"
"No- No E not at all. I just am in my head, that's all" He smiles small, and steps into my space. He wraps his arms loosely around my waist, and looks up at me. I lean in, kissing him softly.
It takes him a moment to close his eyes, I only know because I feel his eyelashes flutter against me. Connor kisses back, going to his tippy toes. My arms wrap around him, and I back him into the nearest object- a wall.
He hums, his tongue poking out and licking the seam of my lips. Before I get the chance to open it, my phone rings. Connor whimpers, the noise going straight to my cock. I groan, and answer my phone. "Hello?"
"Hi, E! I was just calling to see if you're free-"
"I'm with Connor right now. I can't talk. Is this urgent?"
"No-" I clicked the end button and set my phone on the desk. I turn to Connor, and hoist him up. His legs wrap around my waist and I take us to the closest desk. Our lips meet, in a messy kiss. His tongue pokes out and I open for him. He comes in confident and when our tongues meet we're both groaning in ecstasy.
Before I can get my fix, my phone rings again. Connor pulls away, and pushes at my chest. "Just talk to her, I'll be in the car" he murmurs, and slides off the desk and heads out. I let out a frustrated sigh, and answered the phone.
"What, scarlett?"
—-
Connor's been weird, Scarlett is constantly texting me, and Remi is panicking. I feel like everyone is losing their shit.
I'm gonna lose mine.
"What's wrong?" I ask, and Connor pauses. He was typing on his laptop. He turns toward me, and sighs.
"That"
"What?"
My phone vibrates, and Connor points to it. "That right there. Something about her doesn't feel right. She's too friendly with you and I don't get good vibes. I don't think we should keep her around"
"I can set a boundary with texting and calling and just everything. But I don't think anything is wrong. I think she just comes on a little stronger. You'll get use to it, i promise"
"I don't want to get used to it. I want her gone, honestly" Connor sounds serious.
"I am going to set a boundary. I am comfortable doing that. But I don't think we need to fire her completely. Not yet. I really think you need to give her a chance"
"I'm only going to agree to respect you, but I'm telling you, I don't feel right about this. She doesn't seem right."
"I think you just might be feeling a bit sensitive towards this situation"
"Why do you think that?" Connor's slightly snappy.
"I don't know. Maybe because she's kind of a part of our family. Well, she was"
"Yeah, was. She's disposable. Unless I should be sensitive for a reason?"
"What? No. Never, Pretty Boy. Ever"
"Okay, then no. I'm not sensitive. I don't feel right about it. But i'm trusting you, and until i have proof she can stay"
"Deal" Now off to set a boundary.
