"We're taking some warriors with us to your brothers pack." Hudson comes into the room and I see his younger brother behind him.

"Tommy, it's so nice to see you. Have you met Milo?" I ask and he smiles before coming over to the rocking chair. "Milo this is Tommy, uncle Hudson's brother."

"My lips are sealed." He whispers and I nod back before looking to Hudson.

"Ashley will be joining us as well. Why don't we just have Tommy and Ashley in a following vehicle?" I offer and he agrees before leaving the room.

"Tommy, I take it you don't mind spending time in a car with her right?" I laugh and he shakes his head. "Lovely girl, hates tomatoes with a burning passion, and is angry at Logan so I wouldn't bring him up or eat tomatoes near her and the car ride will be fine." I tease before placing Milo on the floor to play with her toys.

"What did Logan do to her?" He gets defensive and I smile.

"You might quickly become one of my favorite Porters brothers. There are only three of you right?" I ask and he nods. "Okay yes so right now you may have taken Logan's place as second favorite. Logan is just a moody b-i-t-c-h, who keeps fighting with Sebastian at the worst of times."

"Oh it's a bit deeper than that. He's upset because our father made a nasty comment about him being the beta and how maybe he should've just said it was Hudson who was rightfully the beta. He says that he's twenty five and by twenty five the beta should already know his mate and have a kid on the way. It was a d-i-c-k comment and it wasn't right. I don't mean to overstep with my opinion, but Logan's the best beta I've ever met and I've gone from pack to pack training. He doesn't need a mate to be the best right now. Of course he has one out there, but it's not gonna harm him right now. It's only started to harm him now that our dad said what he did."

Holy shit his dad is an asshole.

"You definitely didn't over step because I agree with that. Logan is one of the best people I know."

"I'm glad you agree."

"I also appreciate you explaining that to me. I really do, I think it'll help Bash to understand why everything's been so hectic. But back to the drive to my brothers pack, if you don't wanna go, you don't have to."

"No no Ashley seems like quite the girl."

"Wait, do you know something I don't?" I ask and he looks away from me before looking at Milo.

"No, I just think she's a great girl." He lets out a small smile but I catch it.

"Tommy, if I leave you in a car with her, I expect you to drive and to only drive."

"Jen, I wouldn't try anything with her. Trust me, I have a lot more respect for her than you think I do." He rubs the back of his neck and I feel a sense of happiness come over me.

"When did you find out?" I take a seat on the small couch we have in the room and I motion for him to join me.

"Family dinner when she was seventeen. I couldn't say anything, not until her wolf picked up on it too. She's nineteen but she still hasn't picked up on it. I don't know why, but I'm not gonna force her into thinking she's my mate if she doesn't know."

"Well she's been looking for you, trust me."

"How hasn't she figured it out?" He asks in confusion and I know I have to find a way to get this ball rolling.

"The same way I wasn't supposed to have a baby girl, but magically got one? If I'm being honest the Reece family is much more complicated than you'd think they are. Lacey is a Sybil, Bash is an alpha with a first born daughter, and Ashley's wolf isn't acknowledging you as her mate."

"Logan always complains about how he just wants to meet his mate, but him and Hudson don't even know the half of it. I've known mine for the past two years and I can't make a move. My wolf is just happy to be near her at this point."

I waited two years to meet Sebastian but if I knew him for two years and couldn't make a move I would've driven myself to insanity. I probably would've cried myself to sleep every night waiting for my mate to reciprocate the love I have.

"If you want, we can just take Ashley in our car and you can take Logan or Hudson."

"No, it's fine. I'll be fine, I've walked past her and sat down at a dinner table with her many times. I'll live."

"Do you mind if I tell Sebastian? I know that's not the way you'd wanna tell anyone but maybe he can find a solution."

"I'll tell him, you're free to be there, but maybe I should be the one to explain everything."

"If he was upset at the idea of Logan potentially being with Michelle's, how is he gonna feel about this? Is he gonna be mad?" He adds and I shrug.

It's always a possibility.

"Well Michelle is also eight years younger than Logan. Ashley is only two years younger than you." I laugh and he smiles.

"Yeah that's true I guess."

"Don't worry Tommy, we'll get to the bottom of everything."

"I just want Ash to be happy."

Hey everyone!!!I'm actually in shock at how many people are now reading this story.

So if you couldn't tell after this chapter whom the spinoff would be about, it would be from Ashley's perspective.

How do we feel about Tommy? What do you think is wrong with Ashley? Do you think she'll figure out that Tommy is her mate?
