"Anyways." I huffed looking over to Tullen who was now sitting down. "You are close friends with Liekos?" I didn't know if he wanted to be called by his nickname or not.

    "I'm his Beta," he smiled softly perching his head on his knee. "We grew up together."

     "Oh?" I raised my eyes. "How long have you been the Beta?" Shouldn't their fathers be the Alpha and Beta? I don't understand how they are so young and have the title.

     "About six months," his face darkened. "Both our fathers died in battle about seven months ago." I couldn't contain my gasp.

    "I'm so sorry. I had no idea." I held my hand to my mouth.

    "Damn. Brilliant fucking way to ruin the mood, dumbass." Ralph pushed me off the log. I landed flat on my butt.

    "Ouch jerk!" I pushed myself onto my elbows. "What was that for?" I glared, then all of a sudden someone was blocking my view. I raised my eyebrows at the fact that Tullen was standing above me with his hand outstretched.

    "Please do not injure my Luna." Tullen looked over at Ralph before bending his hand deeper to help me. My eyes were wide as I took his hand and got lifted up.

    Tullen gave Ralph a hard look, "I do not mind talking about my past," he smiled then patted my head making sure I was okay.

   "I don't know who you think you are but that's my fucking sister and I can do—" Ralph started barking with a red face.

    "She is my Luna." Tullen said with a sharp look before sitting back down. "Please respect that. I will lay my life down for her."

    "W-well," I started out, but ultimately cut off by one of my brothers.

     "Wow," I looked over to Axel who face palmed. "It didn't sink in that she was going to be a Luna till now." He sighed, then looked at me. "In the future, please spare me, Queen Dania." I snorted and looked away from him.

     "I guess I'll spare you," I rolled my eyes with a smile. "You are my brother after all."

     "But we all know I'm her favorite," Colby pointed to himself. Leaning back on his log.

     "Shut your fat mouth." Ralph tossed a log from the fire at him. "Fucking suck up." Colby just laughed as he dusted the wood off him.

    "Ralph, I dont think you are making a very good impression of yourself." Felix said nervously, eyeing Tullen who was sitting here with a smile of his face. Just simply watching what was going on.

    "You can also shut your fat mouth!" Then he tossed another log. "Stop telling me what I'm doing!" He growled crossing his arms over his chest.

     "We apologize for him." Dylan say with a laugh before patting Tullen on the back.

     "Don't fucking apologize for m—"

     "Drink." I shoved a beer towards his lips. He just glared at me before taking a sip. God he just didn't know when to shut up.

     "How is the Beta work?" Anthony asked while poking at the fire. He's probably asking just for Tre who was somewhere with my mate. Talking about god knows what. I just hoped Tre wasn't tossing around threats.

     "I don't get any sleep anymore," Tullen said stretching. "With this war and all, I can't seem to catch a break. So this," he gestured to the fire, "is so nice." We smiled at that.
