"It look likes my parents are home," I tell him.

"Chicken poo, I can't believe I agreed to marriage and I've not met your parents," he says.

"What do my parents have to do with us," I ask. "You know any good married depends on having in-laws," he says. I really wanted to ask him did he have a good relationship with Sidney's parent but I held my tongue before we got into another argument.

"So you already said yes, so no backies," I said and we ran up yo the house.

"Yo Hinowa (Its pronounced He-No-Ha) bro your back," I shout at my best friend and future Beta.

"Hey K, I was just gonna send out a search party for you," he hits my chest and say.

"Yeah right, like they could find me if I really wanted to hide," I told him as Stan walks up and says "Hey," to Hinowa.

"Ah is this one of your new Alpha

guards," he ask. Stan laughs and said, "I wish I'm his mate."

"Wow you got yourself a mate, that's the best news I've had in months," he smiles and says.

"We have a tradition in this island when the new alpha finds a mate the beta most preform the dance of the moon," he says and starts to dance and I clap my hand while he twirles and dances.

Stan came up and whispers, "is he okay." "Yeah he is just dancing to thank the moon for making me hold," I tell him.

"Cool," he says and starts to clap as well, "I thought I smell something something stink, its good to see you boy, hope you dry off soon," my mom comes out and says. "Gene leave the boy alone and mind your damn noise, you smell too much," my aunt said putting her in place.

My aunt came up and kissed me on my cheek, "baby I've missed you," and says. "Aunt Rose you know I've missed you more," I say while hugging her and lifting her off the ground.

"Boy hush now, me and Kali are cooking so go on and freshen up and you and can come down and get some food okay baby," she says as my mom looks over while she kept on drinking alcohol.

"K before you head up the Alpha wants to see you," Hinowa. I look over at Stan and said, "baby my dad needs me, so I have to go to his office, you can go to the dinner without me," I told him.

"I understand and I'll wait in our room until your back," Stan says and takes hand and gives it a good squeeze.

"Thanks, I'll be soon back," I say and run my thumb over the back of his hand reassuring him.

I let him alone and Hinowa followed me to my dads office. We knock on the door, "come in," he said.

"Alpha Bennett," I walk inside his office and say, Hinowa was right behind me in the office.

"Thank you Hinowa, can I have a minute with my son please," he says. "Sure thing Bennett, I'll be down stairs getting some of Miss Rose and Kali's delicious food," he smiles and goes through the door.

"So I've heard you found your mate boy," my dad say as he looks at me from his desk. "Yes sir I'm official mated," I tell him.

"Good you finally did something right," dad says. "Yeah something right," I Snicker. "So we'll be holding the transfer of power ceremony," he said.

"Thank you sir," I said, "I know we haven't had the best father son relationship but I'm proud of you son," he says. "Thanks but I'm gonna head down to go eat some food," I tell him.

"Before you go the main reason I call you here is to tell you about my trip," he says. "I remember, Kali telling me about you going off the island, what was it about," I ask him.

He looks at me speaks, "The Blood moon pack Alpha call me." "What does that old bastard want," I ask him. "He's handing over power to the next Alpha, the think is he already found his mate when was a kid but somehow the kid went missing and they want our assistance in locating him," he says.

"Its always about them," I said.

"Yeah and there basically threatening the other packs because the Blood moon is in 4 years," he tells me.

"Fu*k them and fu*k the blood moon, who do they think they are," I angrily shout. "Even though they are arrogant fools, they have the might and power to back up there behavior, overcoming this obstacle will me one of your greatest challenge as the next Alpha," he says and warns me.

"I'll do my best," I said. "Great just give it your all, so are we gonna go down for some food because I don't want to go down and all the TOTO Kali bake is gone," he says and gets up from his desk.

Even I was move by Kali's TOTO, he is renowned for be the best Toto on the island, "let's hurry down, ," I said as we left to go down stairs.

I was gonna head up to our bedroom when a beautiful African American lady walk up and put her arms around mine.

"Hello darling I'm Keylands mom, you can can me Gene," she says. "Nice to meet you mam," I reply. "That over there is my sister in-law and best friend," she says while pointing the cup at the lady that hug K before.

I stretch out my right hand, "hi mam I'm Keyland mat...," said before she cut me off and said, "I know already, we did a check on you."

"I hope you found only good stuff," I said, "so far, your from Texas tell me are you a rancher," Gene says and takes another gulp of what ever she was drinking.

We head it to the kitchen and Kali was around the stove wearing a chief hat and white apron. I swear I've been around for the last 3 weeks and here Kali is always around the stove. If you didn't know better you would think he is a chief instead of the Beta to one of the strongest pack in the world.

Rose and Gene Begin to take up the food and bring it out, it looks like they will be setting the table.

"Just sit down were gonna get the dining room ready," she says and leaves through the door with trays in here hand.

I used signed language to say hi to him, and he waves at me and task if I'm hungry, "famished," I reply in signed language.

He gave me a plate of something I've come to know as Congee, "Stan your back," Violet sneaks up behind me and says. "I'm back," I reply.

"Good because I need your help," she states. "With what," I asked. "It's Virgo and Pink there smoking in the house and its bothering me," she said.

"Did you ask them to stop already?" I asked, "yep I did but Pink said I should leave because I'm an embarrassment to him," she cry's and says.

"Then Sure I'll definitely help you out," I said. She leads me to lounge but putting my hand. Once we got there and open the door.

I saw five men setting around a table playing cards. I knew three of them, "hey Hebrew, Vincent and Hinahee right," I said diverting there focus to me as I step through the door.

"Who are you," one of the guys I didn't know asked me. Turning to him, I took in his features he was tall, with full lips, his eyes were the color of brandy like Violet eyes and his skin was deep chocolate.

Hebrew and Vincent stood up and great by saying, "Luna how can we assist."

"Its okay guys remember what we discussed," I said and they raised there head and said, "do you need anything Stan," Hebrew said.

"Yeah actually, Violet said the smoke is bothering her so could you." I was cut off half way by one of the guys who spoke to me before.

"So your my little gay brothers mate," he sneered and said.

"Yes I am, do you have a problem with that," I walk up to him and said.

"Non what's so ever," he said and turn back to look at at his cards.

"So can you turn off the smoking," I said.

"Sure thing Luna in training but let's make it interesting," The guy says.

"Sure got anything in mind," I ask. "Yes how about a game of Countdown," he says.

"Sure I'll play and if I win no more smoking near the house," I say. "Good and if I win you to scream I'm a racist white pig around the island," he says.

"I ain't no racist you dud and that's a little extreme," I said angrily. "Alright you can ask anything of me if you win," he says. I sheath and agree to his conditions.

"So explain to me the rules," I ask and he gives me a breakdown of the game, "easy enough," he says and shares four cards each to both of us and leaves a pack on the table.

Vincent, Hebrew, Hinowa and the other guy smoking were staying out of the game and watch on as we played.

"Stop the clock," the guy said. "Flush and straight, I believe you have some yelling to do," he said.

"I do believe my full house of aces have something else to say," I told him and reviled my hand.

"Fu*k, how can you be this lucky," he says. "just good old Texas magic, now can you put out that," I tell him.

I looked over at the the guy that was still smoking and he followed were I was looking and yelled at the guy, "Virgo put that out," he says.

"No hard feelings," I get up and say while stretching out my hand. He looked up at me with shaking my hand and just shuffled the deck.

I took back my out stretched hands and wipe them on my pants then I turn to leave.

"So I never pick up my brother was into grandpa's. I always thought he like cute twinks, its a pity really I know your a racist form the south that got hitch with my poor stupid brother, you most hate your self, my brothers always had a thing for white guys it all sta....," he said before I ran up to him and connected my fist in his jaw knocking on the ground.

"You talk too fuc*ing much, I suggest you be grateful to the white loving brother of yours because if I didn't love him I wouldn't me do nice to you," I said to him.

He got up and growled and me, he looked pissed like he would attack at any moment. But I was ready. After years of training young wolves one out of control arrogant wolf was no problem..

The moment he transform, I kicked up the table and grab it then swingeing in his direction, I use the table to knock the wolf in the head.

I the moment he becomes confuse, I was going to transform into my wolf and bite his neck but before I could put my plan into action Hebrew, Hinowa and Vincent pin him down easily.

"Sorry about him Luna, he gets a little enthusiastic around people," he says and pulls the guy from out of the wall which they knocked him in.

"Now pink I'm gonna let you go but you better behave," Hebrew says and release the hold he has on the guys neck.

The other guy that was smoking walk over to me and stretch out his hand and I shock it.

"Firm hands, my names Virgo I'm Keyland's cousin and that vulgar guy is Pink my cousin," he says to me.

"Is he and Keyland brothers," I ask. "Yeah there brothers but they couldn't be more different," he said.

"So these guys are K's brother and cousin," I thought. "Nice to meet you I'm his mate Stan," I said.

There was a knock on the door on the door and Rose came in, "the table is set and dinner is ready, oh and K's is looking for you Stan," she tells us.

I just remember I told him I'd be staying in my room and her I an instead meddling. I left the lounge and head out to look for K.
