Chapter 214
Perry, being the amazing sister she is, already had the information I needed. Knight teamed up with his father and took Ayrie with him. Alzen is all over Ansley. He loves when she’s around because, and I am quoting here. She’s just like him. He’s standing beside her at my computer table, showing her all the pack secrets.
“Mind if I interrupt?” I ask, walking in with the files Perry handed me outside.
“Mommy, Ansley is the coolest,” Aizen beams. “We take a break. I’ll go get

lets out a heavy sigh. “You are insanely good at all of this,
“Your dad is a really good teacher,” I admit. “Don’t. I chose this.”
“I will never argue that. What can I help you with, Luna Knightly?” she asks. Midnight doesn’t like that and growls at her, making her grin.
“I have a gift for you,” I say, placing the file on the screen. “Before you open it, I just want to say that while I understand that wolves function a certain way, I can never make a game out of hunting someone down. That’s Midnight territory, and letting her out is dangerous. I’ve lost time with her in control, and she coaxes Buddy out. That’s also extremely dangerous.
“Anyway, finish this whatever way you want. Just do it because I didn’t sleep last night knowing that you’re married to someone else. I know ! shouldn’t be, but I’m kind of mad at you. Really mad at you actually.”
She clears her throat and reaches for the file.
“Perry?” she asks.
“She’s been trying to locate him since she found out we were related, and she said that if I hadn’t figured it out, she would have told me before I hit seven months pregnant. Apparently, that’s around the time I can no longer shift for the duration of the pregnancy, and it would have given me enough time to kill you myself.”
“Sounds like, Crazy,” she smiles. “I’m not apologizing for this, Phoebe,” she pinches my chin and leans with a smirk on her plumpy pink lips. “And I’d like you to know that it pleases me that you’re upset. As for the Baby’s name.”
“If you say Phoebe the second, I am going to punch you in the head,” I shake
my head.
“How did you know about that?” she laughs.
“I heard you talking to Aizen about it last night. We have baby monitors in their rooms,” I bring up
the footage on the table.
“Iris,” she squeezes my cheeks together, making my lips puff out. “I like the name Iris. It’s cute when you’re trying to be assertive with me. Gentle parenting doesn’t work, Phoebe,” I freeze when she presses her lips to mine. My body lights up the same way it does when Knight kisses me. “I’ll be back. My mate is upset with me, and I need to fix that.”
“Iris is an adorable name.”
I spin around to see my sister sitting behind me with a book on her lap.
“How long have you been there?” I sigh.
“Long enough to see you make an ass of yourself for your y
“How long have you been holding that in?” I roll my eyes.

Very female mate,” she laughs. “Dude, you’re so gay.”

“I’ve been saving that since I found out you were Knight’s mate. Even before I knew we were related,” she laughs. “You know who I am, just dying to say that too?”
“Alpha Barnes,” I snort.
“Yes,” she beams. “I fucking hate him. Vy could do so much better,” she drops into the seat across from me at my desk. “Honestly, though. Peas in a pod, those two. I was hoping their mate was a twink. We could use another Cevin around. The guys love him.”
“Right, he’s an off–limits omega,” I sit back, still feeling the buzz on my lips. “Perry?”
“Yeah?”
“How the fuck am I going to handle two mates? I can barely handle Knight, and he’s less insane than Ansley,”
“I don’t know. I’m on my second one, and this one isn’t as blood thirsty as the last one, but he manages to drive me even more insane.”
“Do you think she’s going to kill her husband?”
“Oh, yeah. Then she’s taking over the pack and company they were married for. The packs in times of war are fun. Derek’s got his work cut out for him. I wanted to talk to you about our parents.”
“Where’s Ansley?” Aizen walks in with his Halloween bucket filled with food from the kitchen.
“She had something important come up, Baby. You want to share with us?”
“Aww,” his shoulders slump forward. “I can take my snacks to my room. I’m working on a school project. I was going to ask Ansley to help me with it.”
“Do you want me to help?” I offer.
“It’s on the Knightly Alpha traditions,” he says, taking a couple of things out of the bucket. “I can wait for her or Dad to come back. Thanks,
Mom.”
“That hurt my feelings,” Perry says.
“I don’t exactly have traditions. Allison only taught me what she wanted so that I kept the pack the way it was.”
“I’m sorry your mate killed her in a traditional Knightly romance gesture to you,” she smirks.
“No, you’re not.”
“No, I’m not. That was so great. She gifted you the heads of your enemies. That’s how you say I’m yours in werewolf. It’s so romantic,” she does a little dance in her seat. “I did it for the King.”
“You’re insane,” I roll my eyes and reach for the bucket. Aizen brought PB&J sandwiches.
“These are her favorites,” Perry holds one up. “With the chunky peanut butter. Knight used to have these for breakfast every year on their
birthday.”
“He hates PB&J.” I laugh.
“Yeah, but it was their thing as kids, and he kept doing weird little stuff like this. The eye thing that he does before each show is for her.”
“Yesterday, they argued and then made up like nothing had ever happened.” I shake my head.
“Vy and Vince do that shit too. It’s like being in the craziest toxic relationship. Vy and Vince fight. Like they fight–fight. She had a black eye not

that long ago from him bitch slapping her into the next morning.”
“Oh, god. I hope the twins don’t develop that.”
“I’ve never seen Knight do that. He’s incredibly respectful toward women. I think he thinks Ans counts as one too.”
“Okay, you have to get along with her.”
“Why?” she groans.
“She’s my mate and she’s going to be around. I want her to be.”
“What if she’s mean to me first?”
“Perry-”
“Okay, okay,” she laughs, holding her hands up in surrender.
“Do you know any other cool Ansley secrets I can use to my advantage?” I ask.
“Bro, that’s literally what I do,” she removes her messenger bag and places it on my desk. “What do you want to know?”
