*Ashton's POV*

I sighed as I threw myself onto my bed. It has been a long day. Saxon laid down next to me and draped his arm over my waist. We had spent all day at the hospital with Lilly and Seth and we had just barely gotten back.

"Are you okay babe?" Saxon asked as his arm tightened around my waist. Ever since I first held Seth I have been thinking really hard about something and I think that I have finally come to a decision.

"I'm fine but I need to speak with Reed." I said. Saxon lifted his arm off of me and followed me out of my bedroom door. I could hear everybody down stairs so I figured that Reed was with them. When I reached the living room I saw that, as I guessed, everybody was there. I walked into he room and over to where Reed and Emily were cuddled up on the couch.

"Reed I need to talk to you." I said. He looked up at me and studied my face for a moment.

"What is it Ash?" He asked calmly. I took a deep breath before saying the words that I knew would shock everybody.

"I want to step down as beta." I said. I heard gasps come from the twins and Saxons eyes were wide.

"I had a feeling you were going to say that." Reed said with a laugh. I tilted my head to the side and gave him a questioning look.

"How did you know?" I asked. He smiled at me and then spoke in my mind.

'I saw the look you had on your face at the hospital, your ready to settle down as mate with Saxon.' He said. My mouth fell open causing Reed to chuckle.

"How..?" I trailed off and he gave me a cricked smile.

"It was written all over your face." He said. I was still shocked that Reed had hit the nail right on its head.

"Are you sure about this Ashton?" Saxon asked me worriedly. I took a deep breath and released it.

"I'm positive." I said confidently. Saxon nodded his head and then took me in his arms.

"Who are you going to make beta?" Saxon asked Reed. He turned towards the twins and looked at them.

"I was hoping one of you would do it?" He asked. Jace immediately shook his head.

"No way bro. Sorry but I don't want the position." Jace said quickly. I chuckled at him and he glared at me.

"I'll do it." Justin said. I was surprised that Justin was wiling to step up and do it.

"I knew you would say that." Reed said. Justin smiled largely and jumped up.

"When are we going to do this?" Justin asked. Reed looked to me and I nodded my head.

"Right now." He said as he stood also. We all walked towards the center of the room and stood next to each other.

"Do you, Ashton Heart, step willing step down as beta of the blood moon pack?" Reed asked in his alpha voice.

"I do." I said. As soon as the words left my mouth I felt like something was being sucked out of me. It caused me to stumble but luckily I didn't fall.

"Do you, Justin Light, accept the role of beta?" Reed asked Justin.

"I do." He replied. I watched as he took a deep breath and then suddenly you could feel the beta power coming off of him. I smiled happily at both of the boys and then turned around and jumped into Saxon. He thankfully caught me and I wrapped my arms around his neck and my legs around his waist.

"Take me to the couch my noble mate." I ordered. Saxon rolled his eyes at me but he walked over to the couch and sat down with me on his lap.

"So Justin what does it feel like to be beta?" I asked him. He smiled happily at me and was about to answer when a man bursted into the room.

"Alpha we have a problem." The man said breathlessly. Reed was immediately on red alert.

"What is it John?" He asked the man. John stepped into the room some more before answering.

"We just got word from one of the men that were ordered to watch over the land. The pack house was burnt down." John said sadly. I felt my breath catch in my throat and I looked worriedly to Reed. He cared about the pack house a lot because his parents had built it, his parents were killed in a battle with another pack a few years ago.

"What do you mean burnt down?" Reed asked threw clenched teeth. Emily placed a hand on his arm and he slightly calmed down.

"It was burnt down to ground Sir. There's nothing left of it." He said quietly. Reeds dusted clenched together and I saw the twins look at him worriedly.

"By who?" He asked calmly. It was kind of scary seeing him so calm when we all know that he could burst at any moment.

"Rogues. We caught there scent all over the place." John said. I furrowed my eye brows and frowned, I thought they took care of all of the rogues.

"Call a pack meeting, we need to tell the pack." Reed ordered. The man nodded his head and left the room.

"Saxon may I speak with you in private for a moment?" Reed asked Saxon. Saxon nodded his head and followed Reed upstairs. The room was completely silent for a few seconds before I let out a long sigh.

"What do you think there talking about?" Justin asked.

"I don't know." I replied.

..

*Saxons POV*

I followed Reed upstairs and into my office. I was curious about what he wanted to talk about but decided I would just wait for him to tell me because he looks totally pissed right now.

We took a seat in the chairs in my office and I turned towards Reed.

"So as you heard downstairs, my pack house was burnt down." He said and I nodded.

"More then half of my pack live in that house and its going to take at least two months to rebuild it so I was wondering if we could continue to stay with you until it's fixed." He continued.

"That would be fine." I said. I mean its not like I was going to kick them to the curb when they needed somewhere to stay.

"Thank you Saxon, I really appreciate it." Reed said happily.

"It's no problem man, I wouldn't do that to you." I replied. He studied my face for a moment before smiling.

"You really have changed." He said to me. I raised an eye brow at him and gave him a questioning look.

"What do you mean?" I asked him. He shook his head at me and chuckled.

"When we first got here you were a heartless bastard who didn't care about anyone but you've changed for the better and I think your perfect for Ashton." He said happily. I smiled widely.

"Ya I have changed. I love that girl with all my heart and I would do anything for her." I said truthfully. I know that I probably sound whipped right now but I really didn't care because its the truth. Reed smirked at my love sick expression and I narrowed my eyes at him.

"No matter how whipped you sounded right there I respect you for it. Ashton is a really good girl and she deserves to be treated like a princess." He said. I nodded my head in agreement, Ashton is my princess and she deserves the world.

"I give you guys my blessing." Reed said suddenly. I looked up in surprise and then smiled. I know that Reed is like a brother to Ashton so it really means a lot to me to have his blessing.

"Thank you Reed, I appreciate it." I said truthfully. Reed smiled at me and then we lapsed into silence for a moment.

"We better get back down stairs." He said and I nodded my head. We left my office and walked down the stairs and to the living room. As soon as we entered the room I saw my baby girl sitting on the couch with her knees pulled up to her chest and her head on top of them. I felt my heart pick up its pace and I walked over to her.

I sat down next to her and then pulled her onto my lap. She took her head off of her knees and looked up at me with her gorgeous blue eyes. I leaned down and kissed her nose causing her to giggle, the sound was music to my ears.

'What did you guys talk about?' She asked threw our mate link.

'About your pack staying until the pack house is rebuilt.' I replied. She nodded her head and then leaned into my chest. We sat there for a moment and I listened to the comforting sound of her heart beat.

When I saw her today in the hospital holding Seth a different image popped into my head, this image consisted of Ashton looking down at our baby one day. I sighed and looked down at the angel sleeping in my arms. She's so perfect and she's everything I could have ever asked for.
