John rolled his eyes. “Of course, and I have to admit I could use the help. Society is starting to catch on and they’re pushing their omegas even further underground.”

Grant let out a heavy sigh as he ran his palm over his beard. He was the leader of KDC’s parent company, Knight Consolidated. For decades, he’d amassed wealth with the goal of taking down Society. “We need to make those bastards pay.”

Rising, Grant held a hand out to John. “You have KC’s full support. Whatever you need, you let me know. Capital. Resources. Men. Anything.”

John nodded and shook Grant’s hand vigorously. “Thanks, Uncle Grant. Means the world to me.” He cleared his throat as the two released hands and parted. “I’ll leave you to your dinner and call myself a cab. Thanks.”

“Nope.” Ma stepped forward and grabbed the back of John’s shirt before he could sneak out the front door. “This is family dinner night, and last time I checked, you’re family. So sit.”

Laughter erupted from everyone as John grumbled. No one ever said no to Norah Knight. Not unless they wanted Alan and Grant in their faces.

Alena smiled and tipped her head up to gaze at me. “I think I really like being part of this family.”

“Always and forever, love.” I kissed her softly. “Always and forever.”

ALENA

TWO MONTHS LATER

Irelaxed against Julian’s chest as we stood on the back desk of the cabin at Second Chance Ranch. A slight breeze blew past us, sending a chill through me as we watched the vibrant colors of the Montana sunset.

“Let me go get you a jacket.” Julian kissed the back of my head and moved to untangle our limbs.

“Here,” Xavier murmured as he wrapped a fluffy blanket around us both.

“Thank you.” I grinned up at him before hooking my arm around his neck and bringing him down for a kiss.

His lips hovered over mine. “You should really come inside, it’s about to get very cold out here. The blanket will only help so much. Plus, wouldn’t you rather crawl into bed with us?”

“Hmm.” I tapped a finger against my lips, acting like I was thinking about it. There was nothing to think about, it was a no brainer. I stepped away from Julian and made my way inside. Elias and Simon sat at the breakfast bar in the kitchen, typing away on their laptops.

“What are you two doing?” I exclaimed and placed my hands on my hips.

Both looked up sheepishly. “We said no work time. How did you even sneak your laptops in?”

Simon held his hands up and took a few steps toward me. “We weren’t working. Just planning a trip for us to take in the fall.”

“What kind of trip?” I took one step back as he moved closer.

“It’s a surprise. Let’s just say you’ll love it.” He grinned, and I rolled my eyes as he pulled me against his body.

Elias trapped me in from the other side and I savored their warmth. I loved being the filling in a mate sandwich.

The thought made me giggle out loud.

“What’s funny, little one?” Elias swept my hair away from my neck and peppered light kisses along my skin.

“I’m the filling in an alpha sandwich.”

Simon and Elias groaned at my corny joke before Elias swept me up into his arms to carry me to bed. “I’ll fill you up with something good, little one.”

I laughed, my heart light and filled with love.

Lucas outdid himself with this breakfast spread. There were biscuits and gravy, fresh waffles topped with strawberries and bananas, eggs, sausage, bacon, ham, hash browns, and even some cinnamon rolls that were practically screaming my name.
