Annalise POV The day was nice and normal. We all hung out, and then Travis left. I noticed Bri was not that sad, and she seemed preoccupied, which confused me a little. Then Brian said he needed to get some stuff together for our date. So I decided to take a swim and then wash up before the date. I haven't picked an outfit yet, but I know I'm wearing the jewelry he bought me. So something blue I know that much, at least. I link Bri and ask,' Can you help me pick an outfit for tonight?' she says ' yea I'll swing by before the date' feeling better knowing she will be helping me. I go for a nice long swim. It feels good to exercise and stretch my muscles. I need to do more workouts while I'm on this break. I sigh and get out of the pool, and I head to my room it's almost six, and I want to hurry and wash up. I go probably way over board, but it's been so long since I've been on a date, and this one may be the most important one I've ever been on. I want it to be perfect, and if I don't d
Annalise POV The next week Flys by in the best way every day I wake up to Brain at my door. He asks me to go out and we go everywhere. The movies on Tuesday,a play on Wednesday, a late night carriage ride on Thursday, and then Friday, he took me to a skating rink, and he taught me how to skate it was so much fun. With each date lasting longer than the last till Saturday when we didn't even sleep. We went to a club to dance and it was amazing. We danced till we almost dropped then we danced some more. After the club we went to eat at a cafe and we talked about nothing really and it was perfect. We went on a long walk, and then we wound up going to a place that does bike rentals, and we peddled all around town. It was amazing by the time we looked at our clocks again it was almost lunchtime, and we laughed bc we left the house last night at six thirty, so we have been gone over twelve hours. We decided just to stay out, and we just went around looking at the sights until it was time fo
Brian POV I woke up with her in my arms again, and I've never been happier than I had the past few days. Her heat should be ending soon, and I'm just hoping she wants to move into my room permanently. She can redecorate it and everything. I just want her with me always. Today, however, if she's up to it, I'd like to let Knight meet her wolf. He won't stop asking, and I know they've talked, but they haven't had any physical meeting, and that's not fair to them since their mates, too. I'd also really love to see her wolf. My sister says she's beautiful, and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't excited to meet her. Her arms pull me closer, I look down and smile as she leans in and kisses me.I can't believe how lucky I am as I hold her tight and ask, " How are you feeling today?" She sighs and says," Umm, hungry but ok, other than that. " I nuzzle her neck and kiss my mark, which makes her moan." And your heat, do you think it's over? any pain? you're not hot right now, are you?" she seems to
Brians POV The wolf's weres playing probably about to go for round three when we all heard noises coming from the trees behind us. Loud growling came from around us in every direction, and the smell of rot or trash hit my nose. Rogues are gross they smell awful. The scent is hard to place, but it's bad, and while some rogues are fine, most can't be trusted. Then there is the fact they are surrounding us and growling. I am not sure if we can handle them all alone. There are eight already, and I think I hear more in the trees. I quickly link the guards and warriors as they are on the way a nude man walks out of the trees. He looks around and says " I'd like to request a meeting with the Alpha of this pack and since I seem to have him and his mate I'm assuming surrounded or maybe even at my mercy I'd assume your ok with it?" I growl loudly, making it clear I'm not in the mood he continues." Oh, of course, you can't talk to me. I'll just do the talking then if that's ok?" He laughs and st
Annalise POV Today was an amazing day, so much fun and bonding time for our wolves. Then the rogue thing was a little scary at first, but now I've learned a few things I didn't know . The first and most important thing is that pack members in our pack are just vanishing. I had no idea, and if I had, I would have wanted involved in everything being done for them. The other lesson I learned was that you can't always believe what you read because people play up the bad, and it is misleading. I had learned a lot about rogues in my lessons it was always they can't be trusted, and they don't care about anyone but their self. These rogues came on to a pack land in what could have been considered an attack to find help for their friends, basically their rogue pack members. To me, that proves that maybe some are like that but not all rogues, and that's a good thing to realize or understand. I can't wait for tomorrow's meeting and to learn more and get involved. I'm also just floating because s
Brians POV The meeting seemed to be pretty much over when Tom suddenly said, " Would you really let rogues join your pack? not that im saying i dont believe you, but not many packs would allow that." I look at my dad, who is obviously trying not to laugh, and I look at my sweet mate Anna and I Link her and ask." Do you want to tell them, or should i?" She laughs as she couldn't hold it in and she smiles and says out loud "sorry Brian said something funny" then she links me and says " I want you to tell it that way I can hear your version and especially right now since you have to tell the truth." I smile because little does she know that I really don't think I could lie to her or that I'd ever want to.I clear my throat and say, " Ok guys, sorry I had to get permission to share this story because it's not really mine. Back last January, I was at an Alpha training academy or camp, and my sister told me she had found a woman to be exact a rogue living in a tent in the woods. I wasn't ni
Annalise POV I was rushing to get ready to leave with Brian when I came out to Bri upset. I have absolutely no idea why she's here and looking so mad, and I look at Brian for any kind of answers. He just stands there laughing, and I say, " What did you do?" He laughs harder and Bri says " it's not what he did its what you did" Now im completely lost and I say as much " I'm not sure what's wrong right now" Brian absolutely loses it laughing so hard he can't breathe as he falls on the bed. I'm still confused but now getting upset, too, because no one is telling me anything. Bri rolls her eyes and says, " So I hear you're going shopping with Brian?" Then suddenly, everything falls into place, and Brian is still laughing. I shake my head and say, " Did he tell you everything he said to get me to go without arguing?" Bri sighs and says," No, but I've said stuff before, and you always complain about it. Why does he get no complaints?" I ecplain what he said to me and she says " fine but th
Annalise POV I threw up twice and washed out my mouth while Brian checked my head for a fever. I told him I felt fine, just a little queasy. He said he wanted me to rest today, and he sent up all my meals. The next day, it happened again, and he said he wanted me to see the pack doctor. I said none of this is needed, and he said just humor him. I said, "Fine, but we aren't rushing to the doctor like I'm dying. We can make an appointment. " So we have one for a week away, and he stresses every day when I get sick and has me rest and take baths. He won't let me sew,he says I overworked, which probably caused this. I explain that it makes no sense and that I'm probably just coming down with something. He says most of the time, werewolfs done get to sick with common things like colds and stuff because of our quicker healing. I said I knew that, and he kept repeating I could have worn out my body with the work and not sleeping enough. So I rest more to make him happier. I was so glad when
Annalise POV It's been a few weeks, and time is flying by. Most of the packs are done being built , and the store is about ready to be opened. We decorated a lot like we planned, and I told Bri my ideas, and she not only loved them but added to them. The outside blends in with the trees well but not in a bad way. The huge windows add lighting, and we have so much going on inside. We've added tables and chairs and beautiful tablecloths in the dessert room we have white lace cloth. In the restaurants, we have both blue in one and then red in the other. We made one into a restaurant for the party rooms it will make anything from pizzas to huge dinners and the other is for more fancy dinners. The party rooms we did like Brian suggested. A few girly rooms for tea parties which have lots of tables and flowery tablecloths. A few rooms for princess parties and then the empty rooms painted sky blue for bounce house parties. These rooms had folding tables and chairs.This was so we could move t
Brians POV The meetings continue, and more people sign on for plots. It's shaping up to be a great group, and we aren't even done yet. Right now, I'm adding two new packs to our plans. This is going great. we have about twenty packs that have joined, and we already have people building around us. The way we've been doing it so far is blocking all entrances into the packs. Then we are placing all the packs to protect each other and any human towns near us, too. It's going well, and the plans are working great so far. We have around three hundred people building towns right now. They have two almost completed, and if I say so, they are looking great. It's only been a few weeks since we've started all of the work.I sit the papers down and stretch as I sigh deeply it's been a lot of long nights lately. Even worse for my beautiful mate, she's been making so much for everyone's new places. I told her, "They will be bringing their own stuff." She just nods and says," I know, but they're gi
Brian POV Obviously, some of the first packs that joined were Bris and Alpha Jaxs because this is a chance to be much closer to the family. Travis was all for this, and so was everyone in Alpha Jaxs family. We are sitting around planning some pack blue prints with Jax and Travis when I get a link from my mate. I'm taking Bri to the hospital she maybe in labor, "Obviously, Travis was linked too. we both jumped up and told Jax what's going on, and he came too.We rush to the hospital, and they bring us back to Bris room and they are checking her over. She's definitely in labor, and Anna is holding her hand. Travis rushed to the other side and grabbed her other hand. I stayed back by the door out of the way, watching making sure everything was going OK. The nurse checks Bri and rushes out of the room. A doctor comes in and checks her too and says, "Well, this is moving faster them expected." I look at him as Travis asks,"What do you mean?" The doctor looks at him and says," She was just
Zavier POV I talk a lot, or so I'm told, and tonight I'm nothing but energy, so it's a lot worse. I tell the other Alphas everything I'm thinking and it's a huge amount of detail. " I know we aren't gonna make this easy for eachother but like Paul was saying I too have been waiting a while for Liz and I'm worried we almost fucked it up before we can even start it. So Brian is right. We need to fix this with a date so perfect that she forgets are bad behavior and falls into our arms. Also I think the idea of planning it and picking stuff to do together is perfect so let's see what we can come up with please I hope you agree that this feels right and that you both like me don't want to loose Liz. The issue now is that we have a lot to do to fix our mess up."Brain POV I stay and watch for a few, listening to them make plans and change them. I like how they are working together on this and changing plans if someone suggests something better. When I left, they had planned a picnic on th
Brian POV That night was great. I held my mate close, and as usual, the baby bassinets were in our room for easy access. They are starting to sleep through the night now, but we feel safer with them right by us, considering what's happened. I wake up early, and I know I should get more rest while I can. I get comfortable and close my eyes when I get a link telling me to hurry down to the town square. I sigh deeply and send a quick text to my beautiful Luna and link our best guards to watch my family as I head out for the day.I hurry to the town square, and as I get closer, I hear a big commotion. I stop when I see three of the Alphas from some of the packs that came for the meeting staring each other down. Luckily, some of the guards had come to help, and they were helping by blocking them in different ways. I ask, "What's going on?" and no one will answer me as they stare each other down. I decide this is solving nothing, and I request they follow me back to the pack house where we
Annalise POV I woke up early to check out Leon and Sarah's new house. Then I'll go see Sarah she's nice and I'd like to know when she will be released so I can show them their new place. Their house looks great. Mom and Bri definitely went above and beyond but in the best way possible. It looks like they bought furniture and decorations. Somehow, it seems to be full of clothing and food. They did amazing it's painted and has everything they'd need to cook clean or whatever here. I link them, thanking them for doing so much and such an amazing job. I get a link from Brian saying "sorry I left Before, you woke up, there was a disturbance at the border, but it's okay it wasn't an attack, just a pack passing by. I'm in the office if you need me, honey. I'll see you for dinner." I link back." it's ok, honey. i got up to check on the house for the Murray's. Now im heading to check on them at the hospital." I feel his pride for me and love through our bond. He says," I told you you'd make a
Annalise POV I quickly link a few of the pack memebers that are good at organizing and cleaning. i asked them to go fix up the house nearest to the park. It's a perfect house it has three bedrooms and it's close to everything. Then i link Brian, and i tell him which house is theres and he laughs at me. Then i quickly link our mom and ask her if her and Bri can take some of the blankets and stuff Ive made along with our standard welcome package to the same house and get it set up for the new residents. They asked which package, and i said, "Grab them one of each, and lets start planning a nursery for them. I'll get them involved with it, too, of course." Then I clear my throat and ask, " Would it be ok if I took Sarah with me to the hospital? I would like to get her checked out sooner rather than later. Just to make sure she's healing well since you guys have been mainly in hiding and also to check on your baby. She should be on prenatal vitamins. We definitely need to get it all star
Leon POVI take a deep breath before I continue. " I could tell she was my mate, but she was unconscious and not answering when I spoke. I crawled in to get to her, and she woke up freaking out. She wouldn't speak, and she tried to crawl away. I begged her to stay and told her she was my mate. She stops trying to leave, and she turns around and looks at me. She leans in and smells me, and she starts to cry. I reach out, and I wrap my arms around her as she collapses on me. I rushed her to our hospital, and they said,"she has a few broken bones and lots of bruises. She also seems dehydrated and mal norished, but we can help with that. She doesn't seem to have any major injuries, at least physically. This may be a regularthing shes covered in okd scars. Just so you know." Not sure if i should explain faster or just tell the story i clear my throat but the Luna looks at the door just as it opens the lady in charge of the hotel lets a man in and he shuts the door. He comes to stand by the
Brian POV Instantly everyone went into get ready mode mom and Anna directing everyone to get the two buildings by our meeting hall ready dad had to go out with some men to see if the hall would be big enough for everyone and if it wasn't we'd need to make have to rethink things. This may be the biggest meeting of Pack Alphas in years, and we talked to everyone involved about this. we don't know everyone's enemies yet, and if any show up, we have a temporary truce called. This way, we can all meet and see if there are any issues and maybe even work some of them out and see if this is a viable solution.The meeting hall needs cleaned badly, especially after dad did a few little renovations with the men. They somehow took out two walls without ruining the building and the support it ended up being perfect after that. They called a cleaning crew, and after it was cleaned so well, you'd be willing to eat food off the floors we sent out the organizers. They set up the tables and made it re
