***Seth POV:***
I know my brother is not going to give up without a fight. I still haven't had the time to talk to Sol about him. I sent her and Danny on a trip to a water park for three days until the dust settles. They are supposed to be later in the afternoon. I will have triple protection around them. I get a mind link from the border saying Sol and Danny entered as Stephan left. Today is the day I will tell Sol about Stephan. Walking to the front door I hear Danny laughing and talking.

"Daddy.... daddy I saw Uncle Stephan when we were coming home. Was he here to see me?", he asked as Sol looked at me in shock.
"Not this time Danny he and I had to talk pack business", I say as I ruffle his head hair.
"Okay, maybe next time then", he said with a pout.
"Did you have fun with Sol little Alpha", I asked as I pet his head.
"Yes, daddy the water park was great. And I was a good Alpha I protected Sol from bad wolves", he says proudly.
"Really? Bad wolves you said", I say as I look at Sol.
"Yes, he was a great protector. It was just some unmatted men flirting with me", Sol said.
"Good job little Alpha. Daddy needs to have a talk with Sol. One of the Omegas will help you put up your stuff", I said to him.
"Sol there is something important I need to talk to you about. When you get a chance please come to my office", I say as I hug her.

When I got to my office, I pulled out the keepsake box Yvette made. She put all our pictures, letters, and trinkets we gave her over the years in it. I miss her so much it pains me to show the parts of her I have left with a woman I plan to replace her with. But Sol needs to understand the situation at hand especially while my brother pup mother is staying here.

"Seth, you wanted to see me", Sol asked entering my office.
"Yes, there are a lot of things I need to tell you with little time. So much has happened when you and Danny were gone", I said opening the box.
"Okay I am all ears to listen to anything you want to say", she said as she sits elegantly in the chair.
"Well, first I have a brother his name is Stephan Coppa-Noir he is a rogue. I believe you saw him leave when you came back. Long story short he abducted and raped a woman who is now carrying his pup. Fate has it she is the mate of your brother", I say letting out a long breath.
"Wow, my brother found his mate and she is carrying your brother's pup. Talk about a messed-up situation. How is my brother taking it?", she asked.
"He is taking it better than I expected", I said.
"Why is your brother a rogue? Isn’t he an Alpha son that doesn’t seem logical", she said.

I opened the keepsake box and pulled out a picture of me, Yvette, and Stephan after a football game. I handed it to her and told her who was in the picture. I looked at her as she looked at the picture of us. I pulled out another picture it was the picture of us during graduation my brother and I.

I got Yvette on our shoulders smiling happy we finally finished school. Then I showed him another picture of Yvette and me during our wedding we were happy. But in the corner you can see my is brother pissed off. The last picture is of me, Yvette, and Danny on the day he was born the day I gained my son and lost his mother on the same day.

"Why are you showing me these pictures? I can see how it hurts you to talk about it", she asked.
"Because I ne.... want you to be my chosen mate. The pack needs a Luna and Danny needs a mother. And I don't want you walking into this blind. War is coming and I want you to know why", I said.

"As I said before Yvette my mate. And my brother, with me, we're all friends. While I was busy with my Alpha training they fell in love. Then she and I fell in love when Stephan had to work during the summer to pay for my car he totaled. Shit hit the fan when they made a promise that they would reject each other mate to be together if they weren't each other mates", I explained.
"What was the problem with that?", Sol asked.
"Yvette and Stephan were born two days apart. So, on their eighteenth birthday after graduation all three of us meet up at our tree need the border. Once the clock struck twelve, they weren't mates. But Yvette and I were. Stephan wanted Yvette to reject me, but she said she couldn't and that she loves me too just as much as she loved me. He wanted me to reject her, but I told him no. He thought I wanted her because he wanted her, but the truth was, I always hoped she was my mate. We decided to give her some time to decide for herself since she loved us both", I said remembering that day.

"But she chooses you", Sol said.
"Yes, but at the cost of me losing my brother", I said with a sigh.
"But how did he end up a rogue? I am sure he understood her choice", Sol said,
"He didn't and he only tolerated it because our parents were alive at the time. Once they were dad, he showed his true colors", I said.
"So, you think he will come for me once I am mated to you?", she asked worriedly.

"To piss me off yes. He is my younger brother and I love him. But the day Yvette chose me I lost him", I said.
"Being the younger sibling of the Alpha is sometimes can be hard. Nobody wants to live under another person shadow", she said.
"I know that's why I never punished him. Until it caused Yvette's life", I said.
