Romeo POV
She has been sleeping for the past 10 hours. I know that shifting for the first time is an excruciating task, and it takes a lot of energy. Leia is a beautiful wolf, just like my Stella, they both are… Max is deeply in love with her and was over the moon when Leia marked him in wolf form. I need to find out about the double marking and its meaning.
I have been glued to my bed. I can't find it in me to leave her here sleeping, alone and vulnerable. I had a lot of things to do regarding the Royal Pack and other packs, so I did the next best thing I could think of. I took my laptop to my room and worked from my bed. I know it is not ideal, and I also have to be down at the training grounds supervising our warrior and special teams training, but I couldn't care less. Stella is my mate and my priority.
I mind-linked Nate, “Hey Nate, How is training going?” He quickly replied, “Alpha, training is as usual, I have bee
Stella POVI stayed in bed, while Romeo went out to take care of some issues. My energy level is low. Unfortunately, the mating, marking, and shifting took a heavy toll on me. An hour later, a knock on the door made me open my eyes again. I saw a petite Omega roll down a service cart with food. I remembered that Romeo said he would be sending something for breakfast.I was very hungry, but decided first to go to the bathroom and fix myself a little. I ended up taking a quick shower, because it was impossible for me to fix myself without running water. I had different smells on me, dirt, mud, grass, my scent, Romeo's scent, and the peculiar scent of sex… As soon as I was washed, I noticed that the dirt, mud, dirt and sex scents were gone, but my scent now was mixed with Romeo's and it was completely comforting. I love my new scent…I walked out of the bathroom, and my shirtless mate walked in. His scent had
“Sure, father, just let me tell Romeo that I will be a little late…” I immediately mind-linked Romeo, letting him know about my dad wanting to speak with me. He was not happy about it, but he agreed on giving me space to deal with my family.“OK, Father, follow me to Alpha's floor, we can talk privately in the living room there.” I walked back to our floor and my dad quietly followed me. I said quietly because he was not saying a word, but oh! Boy, his thoughts were all over the place… I could hear his thoughts: “Shit, I knew she was special…” “I regret how I treated her… Would she be able to forgive me?” “Why did I listen to Paige's plan? Why did Nadia lie about her vision?” I was really curious about what he wanted to talk about. Now that I listened to his thoughts, I realized that there is so much more about what happened to me, than what I do know.We
Stella POVAs soon as my father left, I knocked on the door at Romeo's Alpha office. Immediately, I got a response from the other side. “Come in…” Romeo's commanding voice made me smile. Sporting a foolish smile, I peeked my head inside and then moved in. “Hey Sweetheart… How was your chat with your father?”My smile grew because no matter how busy he was, he was interested in what happened with my family. I let out a sigh and walked towards his desk, sitting in a chair in front of his desk. “Well, surprisingly, it went well. He actually apologized for everything… We cleared the air, and I guess my dad and I are now on good terms. Unfortunately, my mother is a different story,” I paused, and he moved his eyes from the paper in front of him, towards me.He frowned when I talked about my conversation with my father. His eyes were fixed on me and, other than that expr
Romeo POVI took Stella's hand and walked up the stairs and opened the door. I didn't bother with knocking. After all, this is my parents' home, and even when I did not live there, my dad made sure that I did have a room, just in case I needed to be close to my family. My mother is an expert at organizing gatherings, so this time I was surprised that dinner was not planned as a major event. I remember when I introduced Paige to them, my mother went so overboard that the centerpieces looked like something out of a wedding magazine. This time, I was completely out of my comfort zone, because there were no decorations, no service, nothing. My mom was cooking like she usually does for us, not as she usually does to entertain others.“Dad, I am here…” I mind-linked him and he quickly went out of his study.“Hello, son…” He greeted me and then he looked at Stella.
Stella POVAs soon as Luna Mariel showed up, I could breathe in her animosity towards me. I have no idea what I did to her, but she was upset about the fact that I was Romeo's fated mate. Instead of getting upset, I tried to amuse the situation calmly and decided that my handy ability would help me find out about the specifics.I could sense Romeo's anger towards his mother. We all know that Luna Mariel is well known for her fancy and extravagant gatherings and parties, and I guess the way I read the situation towards me, was completely out of the open, when she placed a tray of sandwiches in front of us, instead of the typical fancy three or four-course dinners we all know she can plan in a matter of minutes.She quickly excused herself for the sandwiches, and she called me a simple woman. Wow, I guess she is in for a surprise, but I let it slip because only time will tell, and prove her wrong in the end. Romeo relaxed
Romeo POVAfter a while, we shifted back and went back to the Packhouse. Neither Stella nor I were in a chatting mood, so we ran in silence. I was honestly disturbed by what our future held, and I had no idea how I was supposed to break that to her.We shifted back to human form and wore our clothes. As soon as we looked at each other, there was a silent understanding that it was neither the time, place nor moment to talk about what I had seen. I was thankful for the understanding she showed and for giving me time to process everything.She locked her fingers in my hand and softly smiled at me. “Let's go home, My Alpha…” she whispered and then pecked my cheek in a tender way. I love her so much. I felt comfortable, and somehow it gave me peace, walking with her hand wrapped around mine. I didn't want to let it go, after what I saw, I wanted to make the best out of every minute.We
Romeo POVI woke up at 5 in the morning. Even though I had a restless night, having my mate in my arms made me feel somehow at peace and rested. I stretched trying not to wake her up, and then headed towards the bathroom and closet to change for training. I have figured out that if I train early in the morning, I have one less thing to worry about during the day.When I exited the closet, I saw Stella sitting on the bed, her arms wrapping the sheet around her body. Of course, I knew she was naked under it, and my mind went away with how much I wanted to be buried in her body…“Hey!... Why are you up this early?” She asked, pulling me out of my mental gutter…. Shit I completely forgot, she can hear my thoughts…She laughed&h
Romeo POVThe whole day, Stella and I were working. She finished the financial check-up and I have to say. I love her attention to detail, she did an amazing job. “Romeo, can you look up these numbers please?” She asked, and I walked around my desk and sat on the chair next to hers.“Yes, Sweetheart, what about them?” I asked, and she pointed out two areas that were over budget.“See here, these two areas are over budget…” It was administration and Omega services."OK, Darling, what about them?” She rolled her eyes and then pulled out a different spreadsheet.“Well, they have been over budget for a long time. And I don't see how salaries for people supervising the correct running of the pack should be higher than more important areas, like health or education…” She mumbled, and got my full attention now, seeing h
