Hey friends! Sorry that I'm late with this update. I was working on the chapters last night and fell asleep...so, yeah. And to make up for the missing update on Valentine's Day, I'll put up an update this weekend. Leave me some love and let me know what you think. See you soon!
I have never been this nervous about a date before. It’s almost insane that I feel that way right now. But I’ve wanted Rowen and Jared for so long that it only makes sense I guess. And I’ve never been with them romantically on a 1:1 basis. It was always all three of us. Since we returned on Monday, I’ve seen Rowen everyday, but we haven’t really had time alone. Monday and Tuesday nights, I had night patrol. Wednesday, he had family dinner with his parents and I was catching up on school work because of night patrols. I had a test this morning and I definitely didn’t study over break, unless you count anatomy. Male anatomy if you want to be specific. I have two specimens that I could map out with my eyes closed. We’ve had lunch together or talked after training but we haven’t really had any quality time. But Rowen and I have decided that we would have a date night tonight, our first free night since we’ve returned. We’ve got a couple of dates set up over the next few da
I’ve been to the girls’ apartment often. Summer and her crew were some of the best friends that we had. My family and I have lived here with Fati and JoJo all of our lives, since their mom, Meredith, is the main oracle of the Goddess and my parents are demi-gods. And I’ve said before that Jacob, Alexander, and I basically grew up with Summer, Chris, and Jared. The only one that we haven’t grown up with in our little group is Jai. He’s the son of Liam, Sandra, and Bhakti. About every six months, we meet up with all of the original trios from the war. My parents had made amazing friends during that time and they all made every effort to make this meeting happen. In fact, in the 20 years that they've been meeting up, there have only been a handful of times that anyone has missed and that’s usually because they were too far along in a pregnancy or just had a pup. We know Jai from there. We all get along with most of the trio kids. We even call ourselves the legacies, since
The ride from the Artemis Area back home to Arcadia is a long and winding one. We’ve made this trip many times over the years, sometimes with Dev’s family, sometimes with others, but at least four times a year. We’ve never forgotten our friendship with Charlie, Zak, and Brandon. Meredith never forgot her home. We had our favorite haunts that we liked to go to, but we’ve also made all kinds of side trips: Dollywood, Nashville, New Orleans, Disney, D.C., all kinds of places. The girls, particularly, like being around the humans. Seeing how they live. They find them fascinating, with their lack of senses and sense of community. I think they actually scare them. Like watching lions at the zoo. This time, we stopped in St. Louis, MO. The Gateway Arch. The Grand Hall Light Show. Forest Park. The Wheel. The aquarium and the zoo. Grand Center Arts District. So many things to do. And the food! I loved the food. It’s always my favorite part of our trips. Bionic apples.
Once we’re in the conference room, we immediately get down to business. “Nico, thanks for coming here. I know that you are aware that we are looking for Jake Santiago and that it is urgent that we speak to him, which is why we’re here for you to mindlink him. What you don’t know is why,” Hakeem begins. “It was quite a strange request. But, at the same time, Jake is on a mission and doesn’t have any other way to communicate with anyone else. How can I help?” Nico asks. “My daughter, the alpha of our area, and Jake’s cousin Esteban had a few days together right before her 21st birthday. It wasn’t until she was home and smelled his scent on a shirt that he let her have that she found out that he was her mate. It also happened that they were together close enough to her birthday that she is pregnant,” I state. “That’s great, Brandon! Congratulations!” Nico says. The news of a new pup is always a time for celebration within the wolf community. Everyone is always genuinely h
It’s Friday night, 8:00 my time, 7:00 in Texas. Is it weird that I got dressed up for a Zoom date? I want to look my best for Jared and Summer. I showered, shaved, styled my hair. Even put on a nice shirt. Though I am wearing sweat pants. I have the feeling that this might get…heated. And I’m going to want easy access. That’s why I have the other items on the table. Lube. Pillow case with Rowen’s scent. A pair of Summer’s panties. At exactly 8:15, the Zoom link opens and there are Summer and Rowen, smiling at me. “Fuck! How do you two get even sexier since the last time I saw you?” I ask, relief at seeing them coursing through me. My wolf has been agitated, restless this whole week, making me feel the same way. I want my…I guess you would call them my boyfriend and girlfriend. I need them. “Look at who’s talking. You look sexy as hell. I’d hit that,” Summer says, giggling before biting her bottom lip. “We already did, baby girl. Many, many times.” A sexy,
I can’t believe that Chris already knows who her mate is. I remember when she and Jared were born. I remember when all of them were born and the premonitions that I got about each one, knowing the sex of each pup during the pregnancy of each of my friends. It makes me nostalgic for when we were all together, for when we were just newly mated and making friends with all of the trios. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t want to go back to the time of our Civil War with Mathias and Julian or revisit all the pain of losing those that we lost. But I do remember becoming friends with all of the trios and I miss the simplicity that came with that. I also miss my babies fitting in my arms. And pretty soon, those babies will be finding their mates. Of course, I already know who their mates will be. I know who all of trio legacy kids' mates are. But, I can’t tell anyone. I just have to wait for it to happen. Along with all of the drama that will come with. “What are you smiling abo
Werewolves never get sick. EVER. Our natural healing abilities prevent it. Yeah, we might get a hang over every once in a while, especially if we’re drinking wolf strength liquor, which is 190 proof for more, but no illnesses. The only other time that we are sick is when she-wolves are pregnant. Lucky fucking us. The constantly changing hormones, the fact that our immune system is more caring for our pup than us, and the changes that are coming over our bodies as we are becoming mothers make it so that our healing abilities are diverted. They kind of take a backseat so that they don’t attack the pup inside. All this to say that I was not prepared for morning sickness in any way, shape, or form. I have never thrown up in my entire life. That first bout of morning sickness took me so much by surprise that it was only my werewolf speed that got me to the trash can instead of spewing my breakfast all over the table as I was explaining an expansion plan for our high school to
“Ok, Meredith. Yeah, we’re getting the guys ready to head down to bring Esteban and his mother,” I say into the phone. “You guys have to get to him and Kayla. You have to get them back to the Artemis Area. We have to protect them!” Meredith’s voice is urgent. She’s begging for us to get to them. “We’re going to be touching down in the next 30 minutes,” Zak says. He’s blaming himself for not going straight to Kayla, but he had come here to go shopping. He had wanted to propose to Kayla, so he and Brandon wanted to get an engagement ring while they were here. If he hadn’t done that, he would have been with Kayla this whole time. It’s killing him. “I’ve got a car ready for you at the airport,” Hakeem says. “It will be on the tarmac and ready to pick you up the second you get off the plane.” “Is there anyone close by to either Esteban or Kayla that can check on them?” Jared asks. He’s on another private plane on his way to us. He, Micah, and Jai were on their way to g
