“How’s it going? Did everyone get settled?” Travis asked loudly as he walked up to a table filled with his pack members. Several began to answer him at once, but Travis couldn’t help but notice that Susan, his mate got up and left the garage. It took everything Travis had not to go running after her, but he managed to keep his face void of emotion and pretend to be attentive to his pack members.
Travis woke up on the ground with a bunch of commotion to his left side. Every muscle in his body hurt. Travis lay there momentarily as he tried to remember how he got on the ground. Looking to his right, Travis saw Luna Paulina standing next to him with something in her hand and wires that went from her hand to his torso. Travis narrowed his eyes and looked up to her face, “Mom? What happened?”
Brad followed Luna Paulina back to the pack house with the taser in his lap. Just having it close made Brad feel safer. Parking beside Luna Paulina, Brad locked his car and followed her into the building, through the dining area. As they entered the pack house, Brad couldn’t help but notice four very muscular men sitting at one of the tables eating and playing cards. The men had guns and stun guns on their belts. Travis figured they must be more guards, but they had a certain look about them that captivated Brad. These men seemed mature and sure of themselves. The smallest of the four men looked up as Brad walked into the building and never took his eyes off him. O
Brad seemed quite upset by Paulina’s answer, about staying to fight for their territory. Jeffrey calmed him by taking his hand. When Jeffrey touched Brad’s hand, Brad gasped and looked into his eyes; Jeffrey returned his eye contact and smiled.Luna Paulina was curious, “Brad, what do you know about your parents?”
Every werewolf that could fight from teens to grandparents, laid low as they waited to see at what point the attack would occur. All were on high alert and patrols had been multiplied tenfold, so that no one was going to slip through without being detected.Finally, after being on alert all day, two trucks and an SUV came down the road, plowed through t
Travis dropped Fred off with a final thank you and a hand shake. Fred hadn’t asked any questions and Travis didn’t think he’d seen anything that needed explaining.Travis drove to Alpha Gannon’s house next to let him know, “we didn’t suffer any fatalities, but the buildings were a total loss. They will all need to be
When Susan reaches to unfasten Travis’s jeans, he grabs her wrists to still her hands. “Susan, what are you doing?”As she meets his eyes, she can see that the yellow is overtaking the hazel color. Travis’s wolf is n
With a quick kiss to her lips, Travis stepped out to grab a towel to put around his waist. He grabbed another to dry his hair and body. Once done rinsing off, Susan stepped out of the shower and felt shy all over again. Travis handed her a towel which she wrapped around her body from axilla to hips, and secured it in place. Susan thought to herself: Thank The Creator for bath sheets!
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
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.
