I walk around the downstairs area the next morning to explore. After the conversation with Edna last night I went to bed. Of course Enrique followed me. He wanted to make sure I wasn't upset and of course he decided to stay with me.

I have never been more happy in my life. I also realize that I should call Keith. As I walk into the kitchen I pull out my phone.

"Hello little one."

"Keith." I say with a smile. He and Enrique are too tall.

"So are you ready for your leave?" He is coming in five days and he has too prep his Gamma for his departure.

"Yes for now. I just wish I was leaving Matthew here with Derek also."

Matthew is who will be Beta when his training is done in two more months.

"Yes. How is he anyway?"

"Fine. He can't wait to knock Blake on his ass." He chuckles. Good thing for Matt. Blake will deserve it.

"Anyway I do have something to tell you about, Blake." My brother's voice gets serious all of a sudden. "Let me guess, he realized what he's done, knows he can't fix it so he is going to start problems." He will never learn that I was never his.

"Yeah. Most of that's right."

"Keith. What else is there?" He better not.

"He might also be coming up a day early."

"WHAT?!"

"Ouch! My ear!"

"Your ear my ass. You better not send him up here. One problem and Matt will get his job early."

"Look I didn't want to but he kinda snuck away with Lily after I announced it."

Lily. The old Beta's daughter. The girl he is in love with. Poor thing.

"Fine. I don't blame you. It's a two days trip by wolf form. What about Lily? Her wolf is weak."

"Yeah they are in a car. Um she is...kinda..."

"What? She is what? Is she dying?"

"No! No. Um she is with...pup."

I pause. Pup. I wanted children since my first shift. That's all I talked about with my brother. I would have had beautiful pups. Blake or no Blake. It is all his fault I couldn't have children when I wanted.

"She is? Well congrats to your temporary Beta."

"Ken. You sure your okay with it?"

I think for a second. Am I okay with this? How things turned out? I smile to myself.

"Yes. I am fine. I might not have gotten pups when I wanted but I will get them. Soon."

"Ew. Too much info."

"Haha. Okay brother. I will see you Friday."

"Yeah yeah. Bet you be pregnant by next week."

"Oh brother haven't you learned from the last time? You know not to make bets with me."

"You cheated last time!"

"Right I won't tell anyone how you lost. I promised."

"Whatever. I am winning this time."

"When you get here make sure you have your wallet. 50?"

"50."

"Bye brother."

"See ya."

I hang up the phone and hear laughter. I turn to see Enquire leaning on the wall of the kitchen.
