Now that we had gotten our little foray out of the way, it is time to actually get ready for the pack dinner tonight. The entire pack should be showing up now that I am back and Dante has warned everybody that we have an announcement to make tonight. Some of the pack members might be upset that we are going to have a witch living with us considering that we are currently going to battle with other witches but this might help us even out the playing field a little bit.
Scarlett arrives early looking for Quin again. She apparently has not seen him at all since he left this morning for his scouting duties. She does not seem worried about him but I am a little worried about him and how this is going to affect her and the baby. They need him around so he is going to have to figure out what is going on with him so that he can be there for the baby.
"Have you seen Quin at all today?" I ask Dante.
"Not since he reported that everything looked clear during his run.

After a brief, yet awkward pause the pack slowly begins to clap for Elle. She does not seem upset about the lack of enthusiasm and just inclines her head slightly to everybody. The clapping tapers off rather quickly and everybody looks towards Dante as if they are expecting more news."Well, our Luna is finally back so let's celebrate her return. Please, take the time to get to know Elle before you judge her. Remember that your own Luna is half witch so just because Elle is a witch does not mean that she is going to be like some of the others that you have met. Keep an open mind and let's celebrate the small victories." He says as if we had already earned our peace from the other witches.The crowd disperses and starts to converse in hushed tones. Dante makes his way over to where Elle and I are standing. He gives me a small smile and says, "Well, that went well."I let out a chuckle. To think that that went well is downright laughable. Still, they could have be

When the movie reaches about the halfway point, I see Scarlett slowly dozing off on the couch. I take her plate away and cover her up with a small blanket. She can rest here as long as she needs while we figure out what is going on with her mate.Walking outside, I spy Dante talking to Quin on the side of the house where nobody else is at. I head in that direction to see if I can help at any way. Quin is looking at his shoes rather ashamed as Dante lectures him. I cannot tell what they are talking about but judging by Dante's posture I would assume that he is not going easy on Quin."I just want to make sure that everything is ready for her when the baby is born. I want to make sure that everything is safe for our child." Quin says to Dante as I approach."Why wouldn't your child be safe? What are you trying to do to secure that. We are already doing everything that we can to keep them safe." Dante tells him."Well, you know that I love you guys and

After Scarlett and Quin leave I find that I am no longer in the mood to celebrate as much as I was before then. Instead, I leave to find Elle. I can only assume that she went back to her house since nobody was exactly welcoming to her here.When I go to head towards her house the earth begins to pull me in a different direction. It is willing me to go into the woods instead. The earth has never led me wrong before so I am assuming that I should follow where it points me.Walking through the woods, I feel at peace with my surroundings. I have not walked through the woods at night and alone in months. I forgot how peaceful and quiet it is. Something or someone has walked through recently though judging by how quiet even the nocturnal animals are.Connecting to the earth, I continue to follow its lead until I find myself standing outside of my old den. There is somebody standing inside but the earth will not give me any clues as to who it could be. Is it Elle

As I walk back to the party I see everybody still having a good time. While talking with Elle has made me feel slightly better about my past and I understand her much better, I am still not sure that me being here is the best option for the pack. Even my own cousin might be leaving the pack to keep her pup safe. If she can leave then what is going to happen with the rest of the pack? Are they all going to start leaving as well?Taking a deep breath, I walk over to Dante again. Out of the corner of my eye, I can see Elle heading off towards her house now. Tomorrow morning I will have to go and meet her for another lesson. Until then, I need to spend some time with my werewolf half. I need my mate and my pack mates to keep me busy.We end up moving inside the pack house and starting up games and movies once again. Even though I have not yet finished watching the Star Wars movies I instead head for the dart board. I need something a little more distracting than sitting in

Obviously a massage is not all that Dante had in mind when I handed him that oil. He apparently thought that after he massaged me he would be able to have his way with me. Well, sadly for him, I fell asleep during the massage. Completely passed out. Poor guy must have been bummed when he realized that I was sleeping so soundly.The next morning I awake extremely relaxed thanks to the absolutely angelic hands of my mate. I slept amazingly after the massage that he gave me. Rolling over, I take in his face while he sleeps. He is so cute and innocent in his sleep. To be fair he is never mean or unjust during the day but while sleeping it seems as if all of the stress just melts away.Leaning forward, I place a kiss on his lips with the intention of getting up and going for a run right after. As I go to sit up his arms sneak around me like he has other ideas than an early morning job."You do not get to fall asleep on me last night and then not wake me up this morni

As I walk to Elle's new house I notice that while people are still smiling at me and welcoming me back they are also giving me a funny look after I pass them. What is this all about? I am going to have to see if Scarlett can learn anything when I am done with my lesson. I do not want the pack to think badly of me.Elle is out in her garden helping the plants to grow when I arrive. Wordlessly, I get to work helping her. It is apparent that somebody has been tending this garden for a little while now but they are most definitely not witches so in just a short while we are able to help the garden look lush and vibrant."Well, what all are we going to work on today?" I ask her."Illusions. I want you to be able to trick someone into thinking that they are seeing something other than what they are. There is a way to do it to only one person or a way to do it to many. Each type of illusion has a different difficulty level. Making only one person see something requires

The talk with Kiba goes easier than expected when I finally get myself to make the awful call. Even though I know that it is still up to Scarlett and that it will be much safer for her and the pup, I do not want my cousin to have to go and stay that far away. I do remember that her and Natalie were good friends before she moved to the Red Moon Pack though so that should make it easier on Scarlett. "Hey, Kiba. How are Natalie and the baby doing?" I ask him. "Nice to hear from you Laina. They are doing great. The little one is going to start running before we know it. I swear that I saw a little tail pop out of its diaper the other day." He says with a chuckle. "Wow, really? That seems really fast. Is Natalie handling that thought alright?" I ask him. "Well it is her first baby so she is excited and scared at the same time. We have plenty of other mothers here trying to support her whenever she needs it though. Even though the little one is going through partial shifting already it

For dinner Dante decides to make a taco bar with a few different proteins. There are steak, chicken and ground beef tacos for us all to choose from along with a variety of toppings. Somehow, he managed to get all of this ready in just over an hour for Scarlett and Quin to come over for dinner.Quin still has not said anything to Scarlett about moving to another pack so we are going to have to broach the topic very carefully. We do not want her to think that we want to get rid of her but that we are just worried about the safety of her and her pup."Laina, I am so happy to be here for dinner again. I love when our wonderful Alpha cooks for us. You got lucky with that one." Scarlett says to me."That I did. He is a decent cook isn't he." I say happily.We talk a little bit about how the pregnancy is going while we wait for the men to sit down at the table with us. I try to make subtle hints at needing to be careful of the pup when it is born. Sh
