girl.” Rian smiled and kissed her forehead.
    “They still have Dylan. They won’t let him out of the house for fear that he would return to Arkadia.”
    Bethy wiped her eyes with one of the bar’s napkins.
    “We need Liam,” Damian said, looking over at Rian desperation in his eyes.
    “I’ll call him.” Rian pulled out his phone, stood up, and let Asling take his seat.
    “They’ve joined NOAH, Damian, the entire pride. I swear they are all fucking nuts,” Asling said.
    “Asling, language,” Rian said, pulling the phone away.
    “Sorry, Riri.” She smiled at him, he smiled back. His attention was diverted when a familiar voice came
    on the line.
    “Hey, what’s up?” Liam greeted him.
    “They fucking lied! They fucking lied to all the kids and they kept my baby sister from me! I’ll kill
    them, I swear I will Liam,” Rian ranted. Damian sighed. Bethy stared and Asling giggled. Rian began to
    pace.
    “Rian, who?” Liam asked before Rian interrupted him.
    “They told them we didn’t want them. All of those years lost because of those bigoted fucks! They
    joined NOAH and they’re probably brainwashing all the other kids too!”
    “Rian…”
    “They saw the newsletter, Liam. They saw their stockings and knew that we still thought of them.
    They’ve come home!” Rian started sniffling.
    “Rian, I swear to all that is holy if you don’t tell me what the fuck is going on I’m going to have
    Sebastian bite your ass! Now calm down and make some damn sense,” Liam roared into the phone.
    “Our asshole parents told our brothers and sisters we didn’t want them living in the Lewenhart pride
    because they would infringe on our carefree lifestyle. They have joined NOAH and they are holding Dylan
    hostage!” Rian shouted.
    Rhys looked over. Peyton was watching the entire scene while his hand dipped into the table’s bowl of
    chips. He looked as though he were watching one of his soap operas. Duncan was on his cell phone talking
    quickly. Rhys would bet money that it was with his ma.
    “They have Dylan? He wants to come home?” Liam asked sharply.
    “Yes, Liam. We were already packed, we couldn’t get him out,” Bethy said.
    “Bethy, is that you?” Liam asked, his voice softening.
    “It’s me, LeeLee,” she said.
    “God, I forgot that you used to call me that. Don’t worry about your brother. We are bringing him
    home. If he wants to transfer prides there isn’t a damn thing they can do about it,” Liam said, his voice
    sounding harsh.
    “We knew you would help us,” Asling whispered.
    “Of course, baby doll. You, Bethy and Dylan were our little shadows.” Liam laughed.
    “We hoped, but we didn’t know if you really wanted us here.” Bethy sighed, exhausted from crying.
    She laid her head on her brother’s shoulder.
    “I’m hanging up and calling Lachlan now. Girls, no more talk about not being welcome, or I’ll put you
    over my knee,” Liam threatened, though everyone listening knew it was an empty threat. It was proved two
    seconds later when both women giggled.
    “I am Alpha you know.” They giggled again.
    “I get absolutely no respect,” Liam said, but Rhys could hear the smile in his voice.
    “See you girls in the morning.” Liam hung up.
    “Now, let’s head home. I have so much to show you,” Rian said, sounding excited.
    The four got up and waved good night. When the door shut. Emmett let out a deep breath.
    “Damn those girls grew up pretty.” He was still smiling when Rian popped his head back in.
    “I heard that. Paws off, bear.” Rian hissed and left again. Emmett gulped.
    “Rian is going to have his hands full. Those two women are lovely,” Rhys said, grinning.
    “Makes me glad I don’t have any sisters. Brothers are a lot easier to deal with.” Duncan punched
    Emmett in the arm.
    “Ma said she would be working with Lachlan to get any more family members transferred to Arkadia
    that request it,” Duncan said.
    “How long were they gone?”
