Azura laid on her soft bed alone when her eyes slowly opened. She rolled to her side only to find her mate missing. She peered around the room still dark and assumed that he had already left for his pack duties. She recalled last nights events and her cheeks blushed. It seemed ever since she has been with child, her hormones were uncontrollably raging all the time. She sat up in bed and rubbed her eyes. She caught the scent of what she could only describe as burning fire and ash. She looked towards the window and noticed what looked like black clouds floating across it. She jumped out of bed and ra
The next morning, Azura felt like going for a walk. She had been very sedentary lately and felt almost claustrophobic being in the house all day. It was still very early and Ty had not yet left for pack duties. Azura looked over to his naked body and wrapped her arm around his bare chest. She planted a few kisses on his cheek when he stirred slightly, “hmm..my love…you’re ready for round four already?” He spoke with out opening his eyes which made Azura giggle. “No silly, I was going to ask if you wanted to on a walk with me this morning,” she whispered into his ear. “Hmm…you should stay off your
“That harvest was supposed to be our reserve for winter. What are we suppose to do for food now?” Eric shouted from his seat. “Winter is approaching and food will be scarce. It’s too late to plant anything now, it won’t grow!” an older male stated as he sat sternly with his hands folded. “Zachary…Eric, we understand your concerns. We are actively seeking a form of sustenance during the winter now. The fishermen are getting the stock from the river while the hunters have set up traps in the forest. Don’t worry, there will be enough to last thru win…” Ty began, but was interrupted
“Please! I didn’t do anything!” Logan yelled from the jail cell. “Let me out!” he had been at it for hours. The door to the hall way opens and Regina walks in. “You should be thankful Ty didn’t rip your throat out,” she says as she holds her head high. “You put this pack at a great risk. Poisoning our water supply and destroying the harvest before winter. If it weren’t for Azura’s idea of foraging, we surely would’ve starved,” she continues as Logan wails. “But I didn’t do anything!” he yells.
“Ouch!” Azura suddenly woke to her growing baby kicking away at her sides. She grasped her belly and rubbed her hands around it lovingly. It was nearly morning as she looked around the dimly lit room. Ty was gone, no doubt doing his early rounds, so Azura decided to get her day started. She got out of bed and walked over to the balcony. She opened the curtains and a very big smile formed on her face. Snow had filled the entire field behind the house and the lake looked frozen over. “Wow!” She exclaimed and jetted for the bathroom to get ready. Winter was always harsh on her
Azura woke to the ruffling of paper. She jerked up, sitting up in bed and looked from side to side at the cluttered floor. “TK?” Azura called. No answer. She whipped the sheets away and stepped onto the floor, tiptoeing around the toys and clothing strewn about the carpet. She heard more ruffling of paper coming from the open door of the room. She walked out into the hallway and followed the noise to Ty’s old room. Ty had decided to move into Azura’s room since she enjoyed the view of the lake so much and Ty’s old room had been converted to TK’s nursery and eventually his room, although he had yet to actually s
The pack was busy with preparations for the night’s festival. Ty and Azura had spent the day giving a personal tour to the new guests. “Wow, you all are set. I guess you don’t really need our nuts or berries,” Sly said as he rubbed the back of his neck. Azura shook her head, “Non-sense. It takes a great deal of work to forage and even on several occasions we have come back empty handed. Your haul would help us a great deal. Besides, there are other things we can barter, say for instance your alliance.” Sly looked to Azura a bit puzzled, “As in?”
The days had passed since the surprise visitors had left. Clara had decided to leave with Sly and begin her new life with her mate at her new pack. Isabel was a bit heartbroken, but overall happy for Clara who had been like a sister to her all this time. Sly would send news of an answer after speaking with his Alpha about an alliance. Ty had also thought it would be worth the trip to Gold Moon Pack to also forge a bartering route with them as well. He instilled the responsibility to Derek who formed a three-men team and set off in the direction Sly had given. Sly had promised the first order of goods to arrive by next week, so Azura was busy taking inventory of what they already had and prepari
Azura decided to let the woman rest a while longer. She allowed James to administer medical treatment so long as he was under supervision and he was to report back immediately to Azura with news of her condition. Ty seemed very reluctant in the entire issue. It seemed he wanted to just put the poor woman out and send her on her way. On the other hand, Azura felt an odd sensation after being in her presence that day in the dungeons. She wanted to wait until the woman recovered to question her. She wanted to know who this woman was and where she came from. How did she end up alone and half dead in the forest.&nbs
