The Elite 2

Chapter 23

Liv got them a plate and walked out of the room to check on Elijah and Lila. A few minutes later, my sleeping princess crawled up on my other lap and took my fork as she began eating my waffles. 

Liv came out with our one-year-old cubby son on her hip. He was an exact copy of me, even his temperament. 

We sat and ate breakfast as a family. Deep down I realized that my family had a bond like my mismatched family and the more I thought about it, the more I realized my family had to have been spelled. 

Kat’s POV 

Waking up with Brandon was everything to me. I don’t know how I went a year without him. Living in the human world helped and probably was the only reason I made it a year. Humans don’t get the pull mates have between them. It’s animalistic and something that is almost impossible to fight. 

You have to be really self-absorbed to reject the mate bond. I still can’t understand how Meredith rejected Alpha Bryan. But a bigger part of me realized it was always meant to happen because Luna Liv and Alpha Bryan were perfect for each other. 

Sliding out of Brandon’s hold, I snuck into the bathroom and, after a quick shower, I emerged from the bathroom with just a towel to find Brandon still asleep. Walking past the bed to get to my closet, his strong arms grabbed me and pulled me back into bed. 

“Good morning sexy.” His gruff voice excited me. 

“Good morning.” I breathed out before his lips found mine. 

“We are going to spend the morning with Tiffany, Demetri, Victoria and Alexei. Then your parents for lunch and tonight we will fly back to the pack and I have a meeting scheduled for shortly after we arrive. I want to give the pack as much time as possible to think about merging the packs.” 

“Oh OK.” Today was going to be a long day. 

Once we were dressed, we grabbed a quick breakfast and made our way to Tiffany and Demetri’s apartment. 

“How are you feeling?” I asked Tiffany as I gave her a quick hug and made my way to the babies. 

“Good. Demetri is the baby whisper. I have no idea how he does it.” 

I looked over at Demetri as he handed me Victoria. “Babies like me.” He said, shrugging his shoulders. 

“Tori is already a daddy’s girl.” Tiffany said, giggling. 

“She is beautiful.” Brandon said as he pressed against me. 

“I see you two marked each other!” Tiffany squealed. 

I didn’t respond, I just blushed. 

“Did Mark call back yet?’ I asked hopefully. 

“No not yet.” Demetri responded, not hiding the disappointment in his voice. 

“I’m sure he will soon,” I said hopefully. 

I knew it had only been a few days but we were all missing him. 

I was so deep in thought I hadn’t heard Alexie crying and I didn’t realize Brandon had picked him up. The moment he was in Brandon’s arms, the crying stopped. Oh my did he look amazing holding a baby. 

“Wow, Alex likes you.” Tiffany said, her eyes wide. 

“He has been a little difficult,” Demetri said, his eyes on Brandon and Alex. 

“Hey buddy. Have you been giving mommy and daddy a hard time already?” 

“He just seems to like to cry.” Tiffany added. 

Brandon looked at her and smiled before looking back down at Alex. “Listen buddy. Uncle Brandon needs you to go easy on your mom and dad.”

I couldn’t help but giggle. Talking to a newborn pup like he would listen. We spent the next couple of hours with the new family. Demetri took care of Tiffany just as much as he took care of the babies. 

As we were leaving, Demetri’s parents showed up and started loving the newborns. 

“Ready to see my Dad?”

“As ready as I can be.” Brandon said, taking my hand as we walked to my parents. 

Once at my parents', I let us in through the backdoor and right into the kitchen where I found my mom and Nadia finishing lunch. 

“Hey guys. Where are Dad and Oli?” 

“HOLY s**t! He marked you!” Nadia said, not answering my question. 

“Language!” My mother said, giving Nadia a dirty look. 

“Dad is going to flip.” 

“Thanks Nadia.” 

“Don’t mention it. He and Oli are in his study. I just mind linked them.” She was so excited. 

Moments later, my Dad and Oli walked into the room. Oli went right to Nadia and placed a kiss on her lips before smiling at me. I saw his eyes widen but he didn’t say anything. 

“How is my princess, my dad asked as he pulled me into a hug.” 

“I’m really good Dad.” 

He pulled away from my hug and his eyes landed on my neck. He didn’t say anything before he turned to Brandon and put out his hand. 

“Alpha.” 

“It’s just Brandon,” Brandon said, taking his hand. 

“Hope everybody is hungry.” My Mom said, breaking us apart. 

“I am always hungry,” Nadia added as we made our way to the table. 

“I hear you are leaving this evening to talk to your pack about the merger,” Oli said as we started eating. 

“We will be leaving in a few hours.” 

“Kat are you going?” My father asked me. 

“Yes Dad. I am the Luna.” 

“Not officially.” He said, looking right at Brandon. I knew he said it to push the matter. 

“We haven’t had a chance to talk about the Luna ceremony but I promise you both will be present.” Hoping this was enough to keep my father from pushing the matter. 

“Brandon. When do you plan to make my daughter officially your Luna?” My father said, looking at Brandon.
