My Secret, My Bully, My Mates

Epilogue 1 - Sky's 18th Birthday
"Why are you not ready yet?" Sierra yells at me from the door of my bedroom.
"What are you talking about? I have been ready. What else is there to do?" I look down at myself. I have the dress she chose,
the hair style and make-up we have practiced at least three times this week. I had to beg Sam to keep her busy to give me some
peace.
He took it like a man and told her he wanted to redecorate the boys' rooms. Their second son is due in just a few months and
Sam has actually been holding her off from redecorating since the baby stuff shouldn't really change in his opinion. I agree with
him, but I will never say that out loud to my best friend. She has been extra moody with this pregnancy.
"Ugh! I have to make sure everything is perfect! I can't have my best friend look ridiculous when she is becoming an Alpha
Luna."
The title she has given me is so stupid, but another thing I can't say because she will either try to fight me or burst into tears and
she's right, today is not the day for things to go wrong.
"Hey, breathe. It will be perfect. You have done such a wonderful job on everything. Now take a deep breath and stop stressing

my nephew out." I reach out to rub her baby bump. She is such a natural mother. She has even taken on the kids who lost their
parents in the war with Adrielle and Vincent. The packhouse is a revolving door of children and we all love every second of the
craziness.
She takes a deep breath and lets it out slowly. "I know, I know. It's just really important, and everyone is here and it's your
birthday and we haven't done anything yet and I know that we always do something special for birthdays, but the packhouse is
jammed full of people so we are missing out on that too." I jump up from my chair and put my hands on her shoulders making her
take my seat.
"Stop! Right now. Don't make me
Alpha command you. It will be perfect. Everything you do is always amazing. And we are doing
something for my birthday, it's just a little different than normal. Everyone agreed that this was the best day for everything to
happen. I turn eighteen, there's a full moon tonight, we have the Luna ceremony It's all supposed to happen tonight and
everyone will stick around for a couple days and then we will have the house to ourselves and we can sit by the pool and grill
burgers to your little pregnant heart's content."

"SILAS! NO! YOUR MOTHER IS GOING TO KILL YOU AND THEN ME AND NOT NECESSARILY IN THAT ORDER!" We hear
the yell from outside and both of us rush to the balcony.

I love this view. The way the guys designed the packhouse is perfect. The 'U' shaped design has the main common areas in the
middle and the living space's on either side. We are in the west wing on the top floor and I have a balcony that takes up the
whole wall that overlooks the massive pool we have in the back. The rest of our Alpha Suite has windows that overlook the
central courtyard or the forest that surrounds the packhouse and my greenhouse.
Just as we get to the edge of the balcony I see Silas take a running jump from one side of the massive waterfall that circulates
the pool water, to the other side. The boy is only six months old and already a handful He has scaled everything that is possible
to climb and he learned to walk and run on the same day. It takes all of us just to keep track of him. Sam is running after him
screaming about keeping his clothes clean and really wanting to be alive to see him reach at least five. We are both laughing
hysterically. There is no way either of them come out of this chase clean.
"I told Sam those were his clothes for the ceremony and he had to stay clean or else he was sleeping with the pups in the dorms
for the foreseeable future." She giggles holding her tummy.
"Even I know you wouldn't dress Silas until about thirty seconds before he has to run down the aisle, how does Sam not know
that?"
"Men are stupid." She shrugs. "I think Jena is having just as much trouble with Mack, but he knows how important today is for
you. That boy's sense of duty for his beta blood is stronger than yours ever was. I would send him after Silas if their
communication skills were as advanced as their physical ones." She laughs again.
"Okay, we really do have to head down. Is there really something I am missing, or were you just being dramatic?" I walk away
from her a little and do a spin. I don't bother looking in the mirror, she's better than any piece of glass at making me look my best.
