It had been three weeks since Mikey visited the packhouse, and nothing big seemed to change. He still greets me and Little wolf each morning. And every afternoon he waits with me until Nori arrives whenever he’s late. Every day we ensure that he safely goes back to the orphanage that was now managed by a different person. Nori found out how the last manager treated little pups who lost their parents. When Drake found out the manager there was stripped from his position and was moved to one of the prison cells in the city. Nikki decided to bring some of the meals that she cook at home to the orphanage. And ensure that the little pups eat properly. Every day she also brings freshly bake cupcakes that Mikey loves. Speaking of Mikey, I noticed that he had been absent for two days now and today is his third. I need to remember to ask Nori to bring me to the orphanage to check on Mikey. Drake was not busy today that’s why he was the one who took me to work. But I know that he was getti
I never knew that behind those bright smiles hide a very sad story. Nori was out for two days which didn’t bother Mikey much because I was always with him and he was always with his Luna. I look at Mikey and I wondered what he was really feeling behind his innocent smiles. Is he also hurting?“Mikey,” I called his name as I help him get ready for school. “Don’t you want to know why you’re not with daddy Nori right now?” I asked softly.“Dwad ish hwaving a hward twym,” he answered. “Swo, Mwaikey well bwee a gwood bwoy swo dwad wont worry.”I hugged the boy, he doesn’t deserve this. He deserves so much more. I always believe that once you become a parent you held a much greater responsibility in molding the young mind of an innocent child to be a better person than you are. It is your responsibility to make sure that all of your child's needs are met. When I talk about needs it does not only mean financial support. Because that’s not the only thing that a child needs. He/she also needed
The next morning the cool dad and cool son tandem are back. As Nori arrives in his black SUV, wearing the same white shirt with a leather jacket and blue jeans as Mikey. “Alpha,” Nori greeted Drake who was smiling. “Luna,” Nori greeted as he bow down before me. “Wuna,” Mikey said as he gently rubs my tummy.“Not too much baby boy,” Nori warned. Mikey nodded. “I will be very busy this week,” Drake said to Nori. “There’s just a lot of things happening and…” Drake trailed off, instead of saying anything else he closed his eyes as he runs his hand in his now messy, but still good-looking, golden-brown wavy hair.“No explanation needed,” Nori replied waving his hand, “I’ll take care of Athena.” “I feel restless now that she’s nearing…” Once again my Alpha is lost for words. I know how much he wanted to be with me, particularly because I am nearing my due date. He is very meticulous, especially with everything that concerns me giving birth to our Little Wolf. We have a bag ready to brin
Nori came to pick us up earlier than scheduled. Mikey was so happy to see him and I am happy to see them together. “Ready,” Nori asked. I was about to say yes when I notice that I forgot the lunch boxes. “Wait,” I said, “I forgot the lunch boxes, Nikki’s gonna kill me. Let me just get it quickly.” I turned without waiting for Nori to answer and walk as quickly as my swollen feet would allow me to. I went straight to my classroom and was surprised to see the door open. I remember closing it earlier when Mikey and I went out. I entered the room and walk straight to the teacher’s lockers to get the lunch boxes. The hairs on my arms rise as the cold air hits my body. ‘It's that same smell again,’ Leia said. I sense her in alert mode. The smell of burnt wood was stronger than before. ‘It’s near,’ Leia acknowledge what I was fearing. Given my situation, I know that I can’t move freely. I look at my locker and check if there was something in there that I could use as a weapon. ‘Worst
“You’re not going to work baby?” Drake asked. I shook my head, I sat on our bed as I watch Drake prepare for work. Upon hearing my answer, Drake stopped tying his tie and walked toward me. “Baby, if this is about yesterday,” Drake started to say but words stopped coming. I can smell his guilt as he thinks that it was his fault that’s why I decided to stay at home. “I made my own choice baby,” I said as I trace my fingers on his jawline. “I spoke with Nori and I won’t come back until he caught the person that has been following me. Would you be able to help me explain with the school?” “Of course baby,” Drake replied, “If you’re going to stay here and I will work here in my home office.”“You don’t have to,” I said. I didn’t mean to cut him off but right now I just want to have a little time by myself. Pregnancy has made me emotional and most of the time irrational. I shake my head trying to remove negative thoughts.“What are you thinking baby?” He asks.I smiled at him, the kind
It’s been a while since I had spent some time with Nicolo. Seeing him work his way into our kitchen to cook some food for me reminds me of those days when we still lived together. “So how was it living in Purple Hill?” I asked him. He turned to look at me and smiled, before turning back to what he was doing. “Honestly, I never knew there’s such a place like this that exists,” he said, “I mean, you know where I was from and Sam’s pack isn’t that bad but I never quite fit in. But here, it’s like I was born here and I never have to pretend to be someone I am not. I know it sounds confusing because I am overwhelmed with how they had accepted me despite being a human who is also gay.”“There is nothing wrong with you,” I said with a frown. Sensing my change of tone, Nicolo turned to face me with a big smile on his face. “I know that and I also know how fabulous I am,” He answered. “I am not a shifter or a werewolf and yet I feel like I am one of you guys with the way the people are tre
I know that something was bothering my Luna, I know that she’s not happy with staying at home doing nothing. I wanted to stay with her, I wanted to make sure that she was okay, The smile that she gave me earlier was not her smile, because the moment that I look into her eyes it was not shining like it used to be.I sat in my office stuck with paperwork that I could handle easily at home.“Anything wrong Alpha?” Calvin asks, taking me away from my thoughts. I shook my head, saying no.“You know that we have been friends for a long time and I know that you know that I know when something is bothering you or not,” Calvin said.I sigh and run my hand on my hair.Suddenly the door of my of
The moment that I entered our room I knew something has changed. Her aura seemed lighter and at peace than it was when I left her this morning.‘We should give Nicolo a gift, he definitely helped Athena be more at ease,’ Levi said. ‘Yes we should,’ I replied.I walked toward her and I can't stop admiring the beautiful lady in front of me. "Hey baby," I greeted her as I kissed her forehead. "How was your day?" I asked. I try to probe and check if she was feeling better. I don’t want to make her mad or sad for no reason at all."Baby, I want to take a bath with you," She said smiling.I looked into her eyes and watch
