I'm not sure whether you all will like this chapter.

I pulled Aiden into a hug and asked," Where are the others?"

He rolled his eyes and said," Do you even care about me? They are coming. I came early to help you stage the taking away Greg operation."

I smacked his shoulder," Aiden!"

He asked," What?"

I whispered," It's over. Xander apologised, Ben too. The operation was cancelled ."

He said," Come on, it's going to be fun now. See what's going to happen!"

He walked inside and hugged everyone and then he said," Greg, have you packed all your bags? "

Greg's eyes widened. Xander, Ben and Cass shouted," Mom! You said you were not letting him go to the white moon!"

Blake raised his eyebrow and pulled me towards him and asked," What is he doing?"

I shrugged and watched as Aiden played out his plan.

Cass was hugging a crying Greg while Xan and Ben were pestering Aiden to not take Greg to White moon.

Then they came to me and asked," Mom! Please! You said you wouldn't let him go."

Aiden looked at me and winked. I played along," It was your dad who wanted to send Greg with your uncle. Why don't you ask him?"

I winked at Blake while he glared at me as I went to Aiden who was laughing silently.

He laughed," I love making him miserable."

I rolled my eyes as I went outside to welcome others.

Before I could even open the door, I heard various shoutings.

When I opened, Pierce clashed with me.

I said," Pierce! Not even a hug for your favourite aunt?"

He grinned and hugged me," Aunt Alex! I missed you !"

I grinned back," I missed you too, Pierce. Greg is in the living room."

He dashed out to see Greg while I pulled Elina into a hug and then Lana.

Lana was Elina and Aiden's daughter. She acted and looked like Elina.

As I lifted her, she squealed," Aunt Alex! Daddy let me ride on the back of his wolf. It was so cool."

I beamed at her," Really?! If Uncle Blake is free he may also let you ride on his wolf's back. Why don't you go and ask him? He is with Cassidy."

Then I let her down.

She shouted," Cass! Cass!", forgetting Blake.

Ash and Elliott along with their five-year-old daughter Diana came in next and I welcomed them in.

Others haven't come. Jason was staying in a White Moon with Andrew, they both promised to come next month.

Nate and Nina have gone to visit Nina's parents with their children Talia who was seven and their son who was three.

Elijah and his mate Daisy were on vacation. Felix and his mate Jess have also gone with Nate.

AL and Landon said they will be here. I waited for about five minutes and then went inside to call them.

But Blake beat me to it and said," AL said they got a bit late and will be here in an hour."

I frowned and asked," What happened?"

He shrugged and said," I don't know. Now come on, they will be here soon. "

He wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled me into the living room where there was a huge crowd.

It was Christmas in the human world but we werewolves don't celebrate them. But as the kids wanted to we brought gifts for them.

All the gifts lay under the trees while the kids all played together. But Greg was sitting next to Aiden arguing with him for something.

I raised my eyebrow and asked," Gregory, what are you arguing with your uncle?"

His eyes widened and then he looked back and forth between Aiden and me.

Elina rolled her eyes at them and said," They are arguing why Greg should go to White Moon and why not."

I then stated," There is no arguing in that. Greg is staying here."

Greg jumped off the couch and ran and hugged me.

I stumbled a bit," Oh my baby. You're growing up."

He asked," So, I'm not going to White moon?"

I shook my head and said," No baby. You are not going now but you're going during the summer holidays."

He grinned and went to hug Blake next and then ran to tell his siblings and cousins.

I sat down with the others and we all talked about everything.

Just like they said, a pregnant AL and Landon were there in one hour along with their son Sean.

With Hazel, Devon, my cousin Cade and his mate Emma.

But they weren't alone, their children were also there. I have never met either of the pair's children.

I hugged AL first. I was surprised that she was pregnant cause none of us knew. I said," Damn AL. You didn't tell us."

She grinned and said," We wanted to surprise."

And then I hugged Landon and Sean.

When I pulled Hazel and Devon into a hug and I said," well, I missed you guys so much. How have you both been?"

They both replied and introduced me to their son Heath. He was three years old and looked like Hazel a lot rather than Devon.

Then Cade and Emma. They both had two children. Their eldest daughter, Francesca who was four and their two-year-old son Griffin.

I didn't care we had extra guests. Blake welcomed them all happily. Blake then came to me and whispered," We have enough food right?"

I smiled at him and said," Yes. Don't worry."

I kissed him and then we all went to eat dinner. The kids opened their gifts. Thank goodness the pack gift shop was open. Blake went there to buy gifts for Hazel and Devon's son and Cade and Emma's children, while everyone was busy playing.

When everyone left to stay in the pack guest houses, Blake pulled me to our room.

I asked him," What? Why are you hurrying? I'm not sleepy yet and I have some dishes to clean."

He rolled his eyes and said." Come on. Just come and see."

When he opened the room, I didn't expect it. I didn't expect this. I don't understand why my brother left his children here and didn't inform me. So irresponsible.

I'm going to kill Aiden.

All the kids were asleep on our bed. The bed was really big allowing them all to have space.

Xander and Ben both were in each corner, it was like they were protecting the others by not letting them fall.

Next to Xander lay Greg and Pierce. Then Lana and Cass on the left of Ben.

Blake said," Well, don't they look cute."

I giggled and said," Yes. Take a pic and send it to Aiden and Lina. "

Blake shook his head and went on switched off the TV which was playing some animated movie.

I went over and picked up all the toys they got as gifts from the floor and put them in a corner.

I said," I'll go and prepare the guest room for us. Can you finish cleaning the remaining dishes?"

Blake groaned. He hated doing dishes.

I grinned and said," Come on. Do it. "

Then I went to him and pulled him into a long kiss.

The kiss just like every kiss of his left me breathless and wanting for more. I never imagined I would have such a happy life.

He pulled me closer and whispered," As much I would like to continue. The kids are sleeping here and we can continue in the guest room."

Then I realised and pushed him away," I need to set up the guest room. And you have to finish the dishes."

He groaned," Come on. I'll do the dishes tomorrow morning. Now, let's go. And I forgot I have a gift for you."

He went inside the closet and came and pulled me towards the guest room.

When we were in he took out a box from his pocket and opened it.

There was a beautiful ring in that. It was a diamond ring. We never exchanged rings when we got legally married, we never exchanged rings.

I gasped," It's beautiful!"

He grinned and put in on my finger. He said," I knew you would love this. I thought of a necklace but I was not sure you would wear them every day. And Merry Christmas. Though we do not celebrate Christmas, I wanted to give this to you and I didn't know how and Christmas provided the perfect opportunity."

I felt tears streaming down my face and he wiped them away. I said," Merry Christmas. Goddess! I love you so much! I should thank the goddess for bringing you to my life. Now, you're making me guilty for not buying you anything."

He chuckled," You could make it up to me."

He then kissed me.

I didn't expect to be a werewolf when Dylan rejected me. But as they say, life is what happens when you are busy making plans.

I was making plans to go to the human city but life had different plans. I'm glad for it.

Sometimes I think of Britney and wonder if she knew anything about the real Dylan. The psychotic obsessive Dylan.

I'm not sure whether I should be sorry for her or should I say she deserved it for putting me through various pains.

May she rest in peace.

But life happened. I'm happy now. With a wonderful mate and four beautiful children. And a lot of people who I will call as my family.
