Friday morning came too early. Susan was sore in places she didn’t know she had muscles. Obviously it’d been a long time since she had an orgasm, because those muscles were screaming from the intense one she had last night while fantasizing about Travis. Susan has never had sex, holding off for her mate, but one could do a lot and still not have intercourse. Getting ready for the day, Susan had some toast and then took some ibuprofen to ward off the aching in her muscles. The thought flashed through Susan’s mind:
Susan picked up her phone as soon as she arrived home and texted Brad to try to take her mind off of Travis.Susan: Busy to
Unfortunately, Susan’s subconscious was still stuck on Travis and his rejection of her as his mate. It hurt her deeply, even if Susan didn’t want to admit it or examine it. Sometime during the night, Susan began to dream...“No Travis, please don’t hurt him. I swear to you we’re just friends.” Susan pleaded with Travis whil
Upon arriving at work, Tracey was in the kitchen cooking what smelled like a delicious breakfast. If Susan’s lupine senses were correct, as she sniffed the air, she scented eggs, sausages, and… pancakes with maple syrup. Susan’s stomach growled as a result of the lone high protein, low carbohydrate breakfast bar she had grabbed with her numerous cups of coffee.
“Gannon, can I talk with you please?” Susan asked as she entered the kitchen after work.Alpha Gannon and Luna Cat were helping the older three children carve jack o’ lanterns from pumpkins. Gannon met Cat’s eyes and she nodded slightly as she slid into his spot, carving with Kimi and Keme. “Here, let mommy help you,” she s
“I’m here to meet with your young Alpha and Luna. My name is Gannon,” he told the guard at the far edge of the Mississippi Bluffs Pack territory.The guard’s eyes looked far off for a bit, he was likely mind-linking either the Alpha or Luna or both. When the guards eyes cleared, he responded, “Luna Paulina will see you.&rdq
Halloween was fast approaching, and Gannon had begun building housing, either for the Mississippi Bluffs Pack to hide out, or for any of his former pack members wishing to reunite. As the delivery driver walked toward him, Gannon snapped out of his daydreaming and made eye contact. “Okay sir, that’s the last of it. That’s 100 shipping containers and 100 heating units. You should be ready for a small army, even in the cold.”
October 30th came fast. Susan tried not to concern herself with what was to come, but she was an empath. She felt, literally, the struggles that others were suffering. Being helpful and concerned was simply part of her DNA. Susan had developed these skills as she grew into an adult werewolf, but her emotions seemed even more intense since meeting her mate. She said to herself out loud, “why would The Creator pair me with someone that doesn’t want me?” Now was not the time to stress over it, because there was too much to accomplish today.
As Susan backed into the garage, she saw there appeared to be more people here now than earlier. Of course that was positive because that meant less were in harm's way tomorrow. Susan stepped out of the van and began unloading the food. So deep in thought. Susan jumped when a deep voice said, “Do you need some help?”Susan looked at the youn
Two days later, Susan could not believe how much had been done in less than two days. Gannon supervised the security project and had put up enough metal posts to attach the motion lighting and security cameras. Signs were also put up at each gate:“This is a no trespassing zone. Our land is protected with weapons and canines. With the price of ammuniti
Travis was quiet on the way home, and Susan couldn’t help but wonder what was going on with him. Pulling into Gannon’s driveway, he parked the SUV and spoke calmly to Susan, “I didn’t want to tell you at the office, but Mom messaged me during your exam and Octavius Ongst paid the bail for all 10 of the hunters. Mom was with Gannon and Cat when she messaged me. She said Gannon is upping the security as we speak.” Travis explained and grabbed her hand in support.
Stacey escorted Susan and Travis back to Dr. Hanson’s office and asked Susan for a urine sample to verify the pregnancy. After giving the sample to the nurse, Susan was escorted to the room when Travis waited and asked to put on a gown and remove everything else but her socks. Susan laughed because Travis’s eyes got big when Stacey asked her to disrobe. Evidently he had not realized a pelvic exam was part of the initial pregnancy appointment. It was always a good idea to do an initial exam to make sure there were no surprises that could cause issues with the pregnancy. Susan changed her clothing and had a seat up on the exam table with a sheet covering her fr
“Finals are done. What a load off my mind,” Brad said as Susan nodded in response. “Hey, you worried about the wedding?”Susan shrugged, “I don’t know if it’s nerves exactly.” Susan looked aro
Susan arrived home after class to help with supper preparation; she received numerous congratulations from the ladies and men in the kitchen, on her engagement. Alpha Gannon said, “congratulations little sister,” and enveloped her in a huge hug. She hadn't really studied her new engagement ring until she was sitting in class and admired the ½ carat, pear shaped solitaire diamond with a gold band that sat proudly on her ring finger. Smiling at the memory of Travis’s proposal, Susan ran to take a shower before supper.
Susan’s 8AM class ended and she headed for the cafeteria for their between class study group. Brad walked up behind her and linked arms with her, before saying, “hey girl! How ya think you did on the quiz?” Susan put her hand out and made a waffling motion in front of her. “Yeah, there were a couple questions I wasn’t sure about. I’ve really missed our study sessions lately,” Brad whined while sticking his bottom lip out in a pout for effect.
Travis had been excused from classes and football due to his father’s death; upon his return, he was trying hard to get caught up. Susan had been scarce at home due to classes and work, and Travis wanted to do something special to surprise her. Today, Travis was in the library working. After almost an hour, Brad walked through the door of the library and took a seat at one of the larger tables. Travis continued to watch, in hopes that if her best friend was here, so would Susan be. Brad appeared to start working on his work when a young, energetic, female with a high pitched voice sat down next to him. Brad looked up from his computer and said, “h
Travis checked Gannon’s home office, but the door was closed and no one answered. Luna Caitriona was in the kitchen, so Alpha Travis stepped just inside the doorway and said, “good morning ladies. Luna Cat, do you know where Alpha Gannon may be?”Luna Cat had a small smile on her face when she looked up from her French toast station to
Travis ran downstairs, apologizing upon entry, “I’m sorry to keep you waiting Luna Mom.”“Oh son, I remember how it was when I was a young wolf and just met your dad. We never wanted to be apart.” Tears came to Luna’s eyes, but she took a deep breath and fought them back. Clearing her throat she went on, “so you had a
