"Chase! This was going to happen sooner or later and there's no point delaying it. I swear, if you don't go don't this minute, I'm cancelling our trip to Hawaii and you won't get any desert after dinner."

"Fine!" he pouted, even though his beautiful eyes were twinkling. "Let's go but if I don't like him, I tell him straight."

"No, you'll be polite at all times Chase, otherwise I promise you, you'll sleep on the couch tonight."

"But she's still a little kid, Soph!" he exclaimed.

"Honey, come here, sit down," I said, holding his hand and leading him to our bed. Once he sat down, I sat down on his lap. He wrapped his arms tightly around my waist, his body heat seeping through my dress. I brushed my lips briefly against his before gently holding his stubble-covered cheek. In my opinion, the stubble made him look even sexier.

"I know it's hard to let Charis go, she's our baby and especially your princess but you have to understand, she is nearly twenty and her mate loves her and she loves her mate. You know what I told you, the closer you pull them to you, the further they'll go. Besides, she's not going to stop being our daughter just because she found her mate. She's always going to be our baby. Now, she's happy so let's be happy for her."

"It's just so hard. She's our only daughter and my princess. It's hard to let her go. I love her so much."

"She knows that and she loves you too, even though you and Kaden were, and still are, over-protective of her."

He blinked his tears away, his eyes still glistening. "You're right. She'll still be our baby and she won't stop loving us even after she has her own family."

"I love you so much, Chase. You're an amazing father and an amazing husband."

"I really don't deserve somebody as perfect as you Sophia Carter. I really don't."

"Well, tough because you're stuck with me forever."

"Good, because I love you so much it hurts, baby."

"Come on, let's go now. I told Charis to bring Cameron for dinner at five thirty and it's nearly six already."

"Let's go then. I hope I don't shoot him."

"Connor, come on, it's dinner time," I said, as I knocked on the door of my third child. I tentatively opened the door, only to replace playing games on his play station.

"But I want to play games," he whined.

"Well, Amelia is coming," I told him with a smirk. Immediately, he dropped his controller and turned to face me, with eyes full of excitement.

"Wai-eally-I mean, why do I care? She's annoying," he frowned. Connor, my thirteen year old son, was one of the most stubborn person in this world. He was so stubborn that he would not admit his crush on Amelia, Alex's and Emma's daughter.

It turned out that Alex and Emma were really mates. Soon after our wedding, they both completed the mating process and two years later, had their first child, Amelia. I had Connor and his twin, Caleb, a year before they had Amelia and it certainly came as a surprise to replace out that I was having another set of twins. But I suppose I didn't mind too much. Sure it was chaotic and loud, but at the end, it had been worth it.

"Yeah, sure," I said, sarcasm thick in my voice. "Anyway, it's dinner time so come down. Remember what dad and I said? You don't get privileges unless you do as you're told."

He sighed. "Yes, Mom. I'm coming."

"Good and get your brother too."

Five minutes later, an annoyed Connor and sleepy Caleb finally walked downstairs. Connor and Caleb could not more opposite. Connor was quiet and didn't really go out much at all and preferred to stay at home and play games or study. Caleb, however, was a social butterfly -he got on well with everybody and cared about his

sports more than he did studies.

They were complete polar

opposites, even in appearances.

Thankfully, Charis and Cameron weren't here just yet. She had sent me a text to inform me that they were going to be slightly late because they were stuck in traffic.

"Babe, can we try some of that lamb now? It smells delicious!" Chase asked, as he wrapped his arms protectively around me as if I was going to disappear from him. I placed my hand on his, drawing circles on it with my thumb as I nestled closer to him.

"Nope, don't you dare and that goes for you too as well. We're not having dinner until Charis and Cameron and Kaden and Alexis get here. Alex just texted me saying he's a few blocks away, so he's going to be here soon as well."

My husband and my boys groaned, as if they were little boys. Chase acted like a little boy anyway so

sometimes it felt like I was livingnet

with three boys instead of one. Kaden had recently moved away to buy his own home a few blocks away. He lived close and often visited, something I was glad for because I couldn't live without my babies. He moved out because he was going to be Alpha soon and thought he needed to be more independent but couldn't do it without moving out. Also, he had found his mate, a quiet, petite blonde, Alexis. She and Kaden were

perfect for each other; Alexis was quiet and kept to herself while Kaden was over-protective and dominating and an Alpha. They balanced each other out perfectly. And Alexis was sweet and kind and caring -she would be perfect for the role of a Luna when Chase and I retired from our positions, which was soon, in about a month, on Kaden and Charis' birthday.
