HARPER'S POV

A Week Later.

"Oh my god!" Elena gasped as she embraced me.

"Its been far too long, but I hope you enjoyed your time." She sighed and I grinned hugging her back.

"It's good to be back!" I replied as we pulled away.

She went to hug Zenith and Ellie stepped forward with an excited Mia.

I gasped at the sight of my baby and immediately embraced her. I was so emotional that tears escaped from me.

"She missed you too." Ellie aid as I hugged her as well.

Leo pulled me into a tight, making me cough for air.

"Its good having you back." He said,

"Thanks. Everyone, this is my twin brother, Jay and his mate who is a warrior, Evan." I said, introducing them.

"Hi, I'm Elena Zenith and Cassie's mother and this is my husband Leo. It's a pleasure to have you both join our pack." Elena said, pulling them into a hug.

Jay surprised at the positive treatment and I gave him a thumbs up as we entered the house.

"I'll have someone give you a tour of the place in just a while. For now we need to get to know each other and Harper, you have to tell me everything that happened. Last week, you Zenith running out of here like a madman." Elena said as we stepped into the living.

And so I told her everything from our engagement to the kidnapping and confessions. She was outraged with the engagement and how she couldn't be there, but immediately went on about wanting to help plan the wedding.

"That makes you and my mom with the wedding." I laughed,

"From what I hear about her, I feel like we'd be good friends so we're gonna have to meet soon." She stated,

"Sure, and can I leave it to the both of you to plan our wedding?" I asked and she gasped, her eyes bright with excitement.

"A surprise wedding! Vivian and I both plan the wedding and you both don't see it until the special day." She gushed, getting to her feet.

"Cough up your mother's number. We have a wedding to plan." She exhaled,

I gave her the number and she disappeared, already dialing the number.

"Should I be worried that I gave those two control of our wedding?" I asked Zenith,

"Don't be surprised when they go over the top." He sighed, shaking his head.

"Ok, let's go give you guys that tour." Leo said, getting to his feet.

Time passed and I was fully immersed I my duties as Luna and teacher as at the preschool. I worked from morning till night and Zenith wasn't any better. A minute didn't go by that someone didn't need our help or the kids clinging to me not that I minded.

Evan was added to the warriors here and immediately excelled with the support of Jay who took interest in writing. He was actually pretty good and was doing an apprenticeship with a local writer in town. Mia went every day to the preschool with me, getting some socialization with other kids.

It was relatively day and Zenith took both Mia and I out for lunch when we got an alarming call from Elena.

"Wait, calm down!" Zenith snapped into the phone.

"Just hurry and come home! Something is wrong with Jay. We were talking and out of nowhere he just collapsed!" Elena sobbed into the phone.

With that, I was already out of my seat, grabbing Mia. Zenith dropped the money onto the table and we rushed off home.

He opened the front door and we were going to head to Jay's room when Carlo appeared out of nowhere.

"What?" I stammered, wondering if it was my imagination when Gerard and Louis also appeared and pulled us to the terrace where my family was.

I gaped at them and looked to see that Jay was perfectly ok, but grouchy as always.

"Surprise!" They screamed, spooking me and Zenith not so much. Like this guy was prone to surprises.

"What are you guys doing here?" I asked as we embraced.

"Well, El and I have been video chatting for a month now and decided to do a surprise visit with the family. It was our turn after all to travel here and meet Zenith's side of the family." Mom said,

I was still I shock and just stared at her.

"They both forced me to play the injured one." Jay grumbled,

"Yeah, but it's definite that Harper would rush to your side without hesitation." Gerard grumbled in return and I rolled my eyes at him.

"Stop, if it was you, I would do the same thing. Although I wouldn't have Zenith run all the red lights." I stated, teasing him as I hugged him tightly.

"Ok, so we gonna drink or just stand around?" Uncle Thom demanded,

"Let's drink!" Carlo cheered with a cup in hand already and he looked like he needed it. He seemed sleep deprived and in need of a break.

I laughed and took a seat as we caught up with each other.

"Harper, I called the preschool and told them you wouldn't be coming after for the afternoon." Ellie informed me and I thanked her.

The afternoon seemed to run after when we were having fun and soon enough the lights were on and food was brought outside for dinner.

Uncle Thom was on fire with cracking jokes and Gerard and Louis even put on a comedian show of embarrassing themselves for our entertainment.

"Ok, ok, but let's get to the important aspect of the night." Elena said, getting up.

People came around, offering us glasses of wine and we took before addressing Elena and Vivian.

"Now, Viv and I have been planning so much for the past month and taken into consideration the future." Elena started off,

"Harper and Zenith, you have both found each other and there is so much love between you both so we only see it fit that you deserve the best wedding that can be provided." Vivian put in,

Both women were shining dying to let out what they wanted to say and I was really becoming suspicious.

"In a matter of days, you all will get married!" They cheered, making us choke on our wine.

"How is that even going to work?" I asked in complete disbelief.

I looked at Zenith for help, but he was simply downing his drink in order to comprehend our mothers.

"Just go with it. There's no stopping them now." He sighed,

I gaped at him, but knew that that was actually the best option. Vivian and Elena together with their psycho brains is no match for us.

We were still weary of how this would work out, but whatever, its Vivian and Elena so anything could happen.
