The jog might not clear my mind the way that I had hoped but it does help to clarify some of what happened and what all I need to do. First, I need to let Dante know what I was told. Then, I need to let Elle know. I feel like if what I was told was true then I need to keep both halves of myself involved at all times. Dante most definitely helps ground me to my werewolf half and Elle does the same with my witch half so if I am going to make complete sense of what the dream told me then I want them both included in everything that I had learned.
Jogging back to the pack house, I am happy to find that Dante is now awake and getting ready for the day.
"Early morning jog? Normally I get up shortly after you not when you are just returning." Dante mentions.
"Long night, I had the craziest dream and I want to tell you and Elle about it. You first though." I tell him.
"Okay, after that you can head to the den to tell her. The guards just informed me that sh
I walk up to Elle quietly so that I do not startle her. She has her head laying on her arms which are crossed over countless papers strewn across the table. It must have been a long night if she is still asleep in such an uncomfortable hunched over position.I reach out and gently touch her shoulder. I do not need to shake her or say anything as she jumps up at the slightest touch. She looks around startled but seems to calm slightly upon seeing that it is just Dante and myself."What time is it? I must have fallen asleep but I can't imagine that I was sleeping that long." She says bewildered."It is about an hour passed dawn. I had not realized that you slept here until recently or else I would have come and woke you up sooner. Is everything okay?" I ask concerned."Yes, I think it is. I am just so close to being able to unravel what this all means." She says looking around at her papers."That is good. In the meantime I want to tell you abo
"Me? I have to take over the coven? How am I supposed to do that? I am still in training!" I say slightly hysterically."With my help. We will make sure that you survive to take over the Coven and get Morden thrown out. Only then will you be able to embrace your true power and raise your children in peace. I fear that there may never fully be peace for your family but it will be better than what you have now." She confirms.Well crap. I really do not want to try taking over a Coven. I know that Rosa had hinted that it might be necessary but I really had not wanted to even consider doing such a thing. Just living peacefully with my pack is what I really want in life.Then again, as I think of everything that I have learned as a witch, I do know that I would never be able to give that up either. I love being able to connect to the earth the way that I do. I love being able to listen to the wind, play with the elements, shift into any shape that I can dream of. Ove
Contemplating an entire day alone with Dante is almost a daunting task. I have never had to figure out what to do in spare time before. We normally do not really have spare time so we just plan to squeeze something in if we can. Not plan an entire day out for both of us.During the group training I find that I am more distracted than I usually am. I cannot seem to keep myself focused on what I am teaching the others. Luckily Kevin and Dante are able to help keep everyone on track and my shadow people do not need me to watch them the entire time. Instead, they are spelled to work until the lesson is over without me having to do anything."What has you so distracted today?" Dante asks as I pass by him."Not much. Just the thought of maybe taking a nap, or going to dinner, or swimming, maybe the movies. You know, the thought of being able to do anything that we want for the next couple of days." I answer dreamily.He chuckles at me before kissing
Once practice is finally over, I practically skip back to the pack house to get ready for our date. Since we are not going to be training for a while I can finally leave my hair down when I go out. Normally my hair is always pulled back so that it is out of my face. It is the little things sometimes I tell ya.After my shower I grab the outfit that was my favorite the last time that I went shopping. They are black yoga pants with a red rose climbing up the right leg and a red flowy blouse to go with it. I look at the heels that I let Scarlett convince me to buy but that is a daunting task that I am not yet ready to undertake. Instead, I grab a pair of red sandals and slide them on.Walking back into the main bedroom, I see that Dante has even improved his wardrobe just a bit. Instead of the normal jeans and white t-shirt he is wearing black slacks with a red polo shirt. He must have known what outfit I was going to wear because we match almost perfectly."You look awfully snazzy." I t
After I change back into my normal clothes, I walk out to find out where Dante has gotten off to. He was walking towards the front of the store when I went into the changing room. As I pass some of the racks in that direction, I find myself slowing down to browse through some of them as well. There are cute sundresses, there are hawaiian style wrap dresses that are absolutely gorgeous, there are even some cute hats to go with the dresses. So far I have only bought myself pants and blouses but it might be a nice change sometimes to go with something a little prettier than my normal kick ass type of outfits."Are you looking at dresses?" Dante says in my ear from behind me.I jump a bit before turning to look at him. He must have come back to check on me and I never even noticed."Well I figure I could dress up occasionally. Maybe grab a dress to go over my swimsuit that I am getting." I reply.After that he helps me to look through the hundreds of dresses in the store. I find so many
By the time we make it home, Dante can hardly keep his hands off of me. I might have pushed him too far with the lingerie shopping. We didn't even get to look for that new comforter! In the end we only went to two stores after we got done shopping. Then Dante informed me that it was time to go home.We walk through the door and he is watching my ass the entire way. He reaches for me but I just take off running up the stairs to our bedroom. He chases me the but cannot quite reach me. I manage to stay about a foot ahead of him the entire way and rush into the bedroom. Before I can find a halfway decent hiding place, he walks up behind me, picks me up, and throws me onto the bed.I squeal slightly before he jumps onto the bed after me. It only takes a couple of minutes before he has both of our clothes off. He tried to rip mine until he remembered that they are some of my favorites. Instead he gets them off as quickly as he can without ripping them. Staring down at me, he gazes at me lu
The lake is absolutely beautiful. I can't believe that I have never ran into it before. It is not overly large but it is surrounded by large boulders and plants. There is even a tree off to one side that has a swing on it for the younger generations. Heck probably for the men too since Dante's eyes lit up when he saw it. "Wow this is gorgeous. The water is absolutely clear. How have I never been here before?" I say looking at Dante."I could only assume it is because it is the opposite direction from your den. You just never thought to come this far passed the pack house. Too afraid that I would catch you and keep you." He jokes."Well, considering that is exactly what happened, I think that I was right to stay away as long as I did." I joke back.He turns and chases me closer to the water. I run, jumping over boulders like they aren't even there so he has to go around them. I just laugh as I get halfway across the pond from him and he cannot manage to get any closer."What are you d
Laying on our towels on the side of the lake is quite refreshing. Dante packed us a picnic lunch that we have not gotten to quite yet. Instead, we are laying on our towels just soaking up some much needed sunlight. Soon, it is going to be getting colder out and we will not be able to do this."The lake is quite beautiful. Thanks for bringing me here." I say turning towards him."It is even more beautiful now. Not only because you are here but you did such a great job of cleaning it up. I never would have guessed that all of that trash was down there." He says."Well sometimes it happens. Sometimes on accident, and sometimes somebody is a jerk and does it on purpose. What all types of fish live down there anyways? I swear something really large brushed against my leg before coming up. Did not get a chance to see it though." I admit."Just what you saw when we were down there. There are some gar which should be the largest, although, some of the catfish that are living inside the rock f
