He was a beast. Composed of nothing but sheer brutality, masculinity and power. A mate was the last thing on his mind. . . until he laid his eyes on her.

Five weeks.
That was how long it took for Tristan and me to finally go to his home city. We had submerged ourselves into our roles as Alpha and Luna until the pack themselves decided that we deserved a honeymoon of sorts.
Brielle had proposed the idea first at the pack hunt since Tristan had never returned to his home city, not even after his parents' deaths. At first, he shook it off because he didn't like leaving our pack unless he absolutely had to but when I found him going through his family photo album, I convinced him to change our flight dates.
The moment we landed in Chania, he was immediately at peace. I knew he could somehow feel his parents because it was where they fell in love and had him. Our first day saw us immediately going to the restaurant where they first met. Tristan had recommended the best dishes on the menu and he couldn't stop smiling.
The darkness that always lingered in his eyes completely disappeared and the happiness bloomed so strongly in his chest that I felt just as happy as him. I was seeing a new side to him, one that I wanted to see for the rest of my life.
I thought he was beautiful in Greenland but seeing him in his birthplace, he was absolutely breathtaking. It didn't take long for Tristan's uncle to find out he was back and their reunion had been heartwarming.
Tristan had hugged him, Leonidas, tightly and the two men held each other for a long while. He looked ecstatic to finally meet me and I instantly recognised his voice as he said my name with his thick accent. The next person I had taken an instant liking to was his mate, Calliope.
She had greeted me with a warm hug and I could tell that Tristan meant a lot to her too. Her eyes were teary when he hugged her and she murmured something in Greek that Tristan had translated for me later.
"You look so much like your father. You even look at her how he looked at your mother."
Tristan had reached out for me and his eyes were so full of love. He tucked me underneath his arm and Calliope clapped in glee before she and Leonidas took us for a tour of the pack grounds.
I found out that Leonidas had taken care of Tristan in more ways than one. Not only did he help him get a hold of things as a new alpha, but he also fulfilled his role as a trustee of the family. The reason why Tristan had so much money was that when he was eighteen, Leonidas had given him some money. Tristan had decided to invest in his uncle's business, a very successful business at that.
