Gabriella POV
I can’t believe this is happening. My grandfather is not that old. I know that doesn’t matter, but he should have so much more time left to be with us. More time to enjoy his life. He has been a part of not only our lives but my pups lives. They will be devastated to lose him. “Well, I’m going to head back and get a few things in order” my grandfather says as he stands. Before anything can be said, the office door flies open. Serina and Nicholas rush in with huge smiles on their faces. She stops when she sees our grandfather. “Grandpa you’re here.” “I am now where is my hug little one.” She laughs “I’m not really that little anymore.” He wraps her in his arms. “Nicholas it’s good to see you again.” “It’s good to see you too Stephen.” Serina steps back and Nicholas wraps his arm around her. “What is up with you two” I ask, knowing that they came here for a reason. “We are going to have our first pup.” Screams fill the room and my mother and I rush over to her. “I can’t believe you two waited this long but I’m so happy I’m going to be an aunt again.” She puts her hand on her still flat belly. “I told you we waited so we could have a lot of babysitters with your pups” she says and we all laugh.

She looks at my grandfather when she says the word pup with worry on her face. “I know about the pack, little one. I have for a long time.” “I’m so glad that you do know so that you can come to see the pup anytime you want”, Serina says. I feel the sadness creep back in. “What’s going on, why are you here grandpa” Serina asks with panic in her voice. “I’m going to come and stay with you all for a while. Spend some time with my grandkids and great grandkids.” She looks at my grandfather without saying a word. “Don’t do that little one. Today is a happy day to celebrate a new member of our family. Let’s not focus on bad things.” He walks over and hugs her one more time before he heads for the door. “I’ll be back soon” he says and then he is gone. “Gabby, what’s wrong with grandpa?” “He didn’t really tell us exactly what is wrong but he is sick.” She rushes over and I wrap her in my arms. After a few
minutes, we all sit and it’s quiet. My mother is the first to speak. “Archer, is there anything we can do to help him? What about the change?” My father smiles “I wish that were a possibility, because I would do it for Stephen in a heartbeat but I’m afraid he wouldn’t survive it.” I can see the tears my mother has been holding back run down her cheeks.
Lake squeezes my hand and I feel so helpless at this moment. All the magic in our lives and we can’t help him. “What about Tabby? I understand he won’t survive the change, but maybe she can heal him or give him more time.” I don’t even wait for a response from the others when I link Tabby. “What’s wrong Gabby, are the pups alright?” “Yes, can you come to the office?” The link is cut and Tabby appears in front of us. She looks around before she looks back at me. “What’s going on Gabby?” “Our grandfather Stephen is sick?” She comes to sit next to me. She wraps her arm around me. “What can I do to help? Do you want to go to his home and I’ll see what I can do without letting him in on what I am.” Goddess I love this woman. “Actually he will be coming here to live.” She looks at me confused. “Apparently my brothers told him about werewolves and the pack when they were teenagers and he kept the secret all these years.” She chuckles “well then I guess there is no need to beat around the bush about what I am. I promise I will try to heal him.” “Thank you Tabby, you are amazing and I’m grateful for you every day.” Everyone hugs her and when it’s Serina’s turn she whispers in Tabby’s ear. She squeals and the happiness can be felt throughout the room again.
A few hours later, the patrol guard lets us know that my grandpa is back. Lake and I along with the pups, head outside to meet him. They all hug him and I love that they are going to get to spend more time with him. “Grandpa, we have a cottage that is right next to the pack house for you.” He looks disappointed. “What’s wrong, grandpa?” “I had hoped to stay in the pack house with all of you but if you think that would be a problem then the cottage is perfectly fine.” I smile “there is no problem. We thought maybe the pack house would be too crazy and you would want privacy.” “No way, I want crazy, loud, and busy.” We all laugh and head into the pack house. We take him to a guest room on our floor. When he walks in, the smile on his face is amazing. “Thank you all for letting me stay here with our
family.” “You never ever have to thank us for that, Stephen” Lake says. A few minutes later, Tabby appears in the doorway.
Tabitha POV
Gabby links me that her grandfather is back. “Jonathon, I’m going to see Stephen. I won’t be gone long.” He wraps me in his arms. “I know how amazing you are, but if your not able to heal him because he is human, you can’t blame yourself.” He knows me so well. “I’ll try not to.” He presses his lips to mine. “Mommy can I come with you, maybe I can help.” I pull back and my beautiful daughter is staring up at me. “Absolutely, you can be my helper.” I take her hand after I kiss Johnathon one more time and we appear in the hallway at the pack house. We head toward the rooms and one of the doors is open. I assume it is the one that Stephen will use. I walk in and Autumn comes in behind me. Everyone turns and Stephen smiles at us. “Tabby and Autumn, it’s been so long since I’ve seen you two.” Autumn rushes over and hugs Stephen. I hug him too. “It’s good to see you too. So I’ll tell you why I’m here.” He looks confused and I take his hand in mine. “Gabby tells me that you know what everyone here is but I’m not the same. I am a witch with many powers.” He looks at Autumn. “Autumn is a hybrid, she is a witch and a wolf.” “That’s amazing Tabby. I’m so happy you feel comfortable telling me.”
“I do but I’m actually telling you because I’m here to try to help you heal.” Someone clears their throat and I look down at Autumn. “I’m sorry we are here to try to help you heal.” He smiles “that is very kind but you don’t have to.” I stop him “yes I do so have a seat.” He smiles and does what I ask. “Now I just need you to relax and close your eyes.” Autumn comes to stand next to me as I stand behind the chair. I place my hands on each side of his head. I close my eyes and focus on Stephen. As I move my energy through him, I can see the monster that is ravishing his body from the inside out. I feel a hand on my arm and the power that I’m using changes. The power that was white is now swirled with purple. After a few minutes, everything stills. The monster that plagued him is completely gone. I open my eyes and look at my daughter and smile. She is going to be more powerful than I am. I bend down and wrap her in my arms. “Thank you for your help, sweet girl. I’m so proud of you.” “Your welcome, mommy.”
I stand back up. “Stephen, you can open your eyes.” He opens his eyes and I can see he is fighting back tears. “Am I healed?” “Yes you are. You will have the time to spend with your family that the disease tried to take from you.” He stands and rushes over wrapping me in a hug. “Thank you, I can’t thank you enough.” “You are part of this family. I would do anything for our family.” He lets me go and looks around at everyone. He looks at Autumn, Archer, Ruby, and Jade. “I think that this calls for ice cream.” They all shout their approval and we head down to the dining room. Once we have our ice cream, we all take a seat at the table. I notice that Maryah the head omega is staring at Stephen. Wouldn’t that be something if she was his mate?
Nine Years Later
Ruby POV
“Ella, where is your brother?” “He’s still in bed, Ruby.” I walk down the hallway to my guest room. Jade and I will move back into the pack house when I take my title but it is nice to have our own space right now. I love having my cousins stay over. “Levi get your butt out of bed. It is almost nine and your mother will be here soon.” He groans and pulls the blanket over his head. I walk over, pulling the blanket down so I can see his chubby face. He just turned five and he looks just like Uncle Nicholas. “Come on, I would love to be spending the whole day with you, but I have a meeting with grandpa in the human city in a couple of hours.” He sits up and jumps out of bed. “Did you make pancakes?” I laugh “don’t I always make pancakes when you stay over.” He rushes to the kitchen and takes a seat. I swear he isn’t swallowing. “Levi, you’re gross”, Ella says. Jade laughs as she grabs coffee. “What time are you going to the meeting at the firm today?” “Around eleven, what about you? What time are you going to the pack hospital today?” “I’m supposed to meet grandma at noon. It’s so weird, I want to be a nurse and you want to be a lawyer.” “It’s not weird. We are following in great footsteps. Besides, I want to be front and center to make sure that Grandpa Stephen’s hard work is being run properly.”
Once Aunt Serina picks up the pups, I’m dressed and ready to head to the firm. I decided on trousers and a silk blouse with heels. I find my grandfather in the dining room with Maryah. I’m glad that they found each other. He is so happy and healthy now. I think the healing may have given him more time than expected, which I’m so grateful for. “Ruby, are you ready to go see your firm?” I laugh “I think it’s your firm and I’m just going to help run it.” “I’m retired, remember” he says. He kisses Maryah before we head for the SUV. The drive doesn’t take long. We pull into a parking garage and into a space that says my name. I look at my grandfather. “You put my name on a parking spot.” “You’re in charge of this firm now. You need a parking spot.” I’m not afraid of this responsibility but I pray to the godless that I can handle this and being Alpha of the pack when it’s time.
When we walk into the building the receptionist smiles when she sees my grandfather. “Mr. Piper, it’s good to see you. Should I let Mr. Connor know that your here.” “No, I’m actually here to show my granddaughter to her new office. Linda, this is Ruby Solace, she will be the new Chief Operating Officer.” “It’s a pleasure to meet you Ms. Solace.” “It’s nice to meet you too, Linda.” As we get into the elevator, Gemma is pacing back and forth in my mind. “What’s up with you” I ask. The elevator door opens and the scent of coconut invades my nose. “Mate”, Gemma says, and I feel like I can’t breathe. My mate is here. “Ruby, are you alright” my grandfather asks. I take a deep breath “I’m fine.” He doesn’t press me and I follow him down the hallway. The scent is getting stronger as we move down the hall. I push Gemma down. I need to stay under control around humans. They have no idea about werewolves and I will not be the one to reveal our kind to them. She whimpers but understands why she can’t show herself here. My grandfather reaches for the handle of the door when someone calls his name. “Stephen, I’m glad to see you made it in.” His eyes land on mine and I keep my expression even though I’m anything but calm inside. “Maverick this is my granddaughter Ruby Solace.” He starts toward me when a female voice catches my attention. “Maverick” she says and he turns toward her with a smile. Gemma tries to push to the surface as he wraps her in his arms. This cannot be happening to me. My mate is already with someone and he looks happy.
