mate.
    “Yes. Family are the people who love you no matter what. We have that. Pride and Pack. Vampires and
    Bears. We have people who care about us, those are the ones that matter,” Kent explained, kissing the side
    of Liam’s neck. Sebastian rubbed his face against Liam’s chest.
    “How are you so even-keeled all the time? It’s like nothing ever gets to you,” Liam asked. Kent smiled
    sadly.
    “I’ve never really lived life. My childhood was boring, no drama, both of my parents loved me until
    they died. I went to college, graduated, and kept my nose in the books. It was safer that way. But it also
    means I’ve led a very hollow life until mating with the two of you. If all of those years of being alone, of
    being the objective party, means I can be the rock in the storm for the two of you, then the years of walking
    around feeling empty and screaming silently are worth it.” Kent closed his eyes and rested his head on
    Liam’s shoulder.
    Liam held Kent’s head to his shoulder and kissed his forehead.
    “We can try new things, anything you want,” Liam whispered.
    “I’m happy just being with my two mates. This is what I always wanted.” Kent pulled Sebastian so that
    he was pressed between the two of them.
    “You are the only family I need. Fuck!” Liam exclaimed suddenly. Kent and Sebastian looked at him,
    surprised.
    “We need to let my grandfather know that Lamar is going to try and stir up trouble. You guys go ahead
    back outside. Since I threw my cell in the pool I’ll call my grandfather from the office, I’ll be out in a few
    minutes.” He smiled at their worried expressions.
    “Go on, I’m fine, really. After we eat we’ll head to town so we can all get cell phones. Don’t think I
    hadn’t noticed that neither of you had one.” Liam wagged a finger at them. Kent shrugged.
    “I never had anyone to call,” he said.
    “Me either.” Sebastian agreed.
    “Well, I don’t like that you’re not able to call me in an emergency. We’ll hit Johnny Five’s then maybe
    get some ice cream. I know a certain kitten who loves Butter Pecan.” Liam leaned forward and kissed
    Sebastian’s forehead, who blushed at the simple kiss before Liam turned his face to Kent, kissing him
    gently on the lips.
    “Don’t be long.” Kent said, and he and Sebastian left the bedroom. Liam took a deep breath before
    heading to the office. He walked in and shut the door. He sat at his desk and marveled at the difference
    between his work area and Kent’s. His was littered with candy wrappers and snack foods. Papers were piled
    carelessly, precariously balanced in haphazard stacks. His filing cabinet was filled with food and there was a
    weird stain on the corner of his desk. Kent’s desk was immaculate. He had a beautifully organized work
    area, where the papers were stacked neatly in letter trays in color-coded folders. His filing cabinets held
    actual papers and there weren’t any strange, foul smelling stains on his desk. Yup, Fate knew what she was
    doing with this mating. Shaking his head, he reached for the phone and dialed his grandfather’s number.
    “Lewenhart,” a gruff voice answered.
    “Grandfather.”
    “Liam, you wouldn’t happen to be calling because of your idiot father, would you?” Lachlan drawled.
    Liam sighed.
    “He said he was going to return to Arkadia and take back the pride.” He pushed an empty candy bar
    wrapper around his desk with the tip of his finger.
    “He’s blowing smoke. It’s against our laws to issue a challenge after you have already lost a dominance
    fight. What did you say to him?” Lachlan asked.
    “That if he came down here and threatened my pride I would kill him and send his body in pieces back
    to Daphne in a cooler.” Liam mumbled. A short bark of laughter came through the phone.
    “Liam, never ever doubt you are my grandson. I don’t know what went wrong with your father, but you
    are more than making up for it.”
    “Even though I have two
