She whirls out of the door, slamming it behind her. Sniffling, she looks up in surprise at me."I did not realize that you were there. How long have you been there?" She asks me.Walking down the final steps I cannot help but smile at her. That had to be one of the hardest things that she has ever had to do and yet she got it done. It might not feel like it yet but she said what needed said. Now, she just needs a friend and then her new mate."Long enough to hear some of the conversation. I am sorry, I did not mean to pry on that. I heard that you were coming to talk to her and I thought that you might need backup." I said guiltily."Thank you. I don't think that backup really would have helped me in there. She seems to open up more to me since she thinks that she can control me still." Julia said."No, you did not need me because you needed to say all of that and you would not have if I had been in there with you. There is a lot that is harder to say in front of others even when the
The guys take no time at all to begin planning the party. Nobody really knows what the party is for except for the Hybrid Council. The fact that there are cupcakes with babies on them as well as a huge cake that says Happy Mates seems to be throwing off the bakery. The same can be said when Kevin went to get decorations and got some for both a baby themed party and a mating party. Now, the entire pack is excited about the party that they cannot seem to figure out.Elle and Hazel are working with me in our joint building so that we can set up a place for the party. We want everybody to have something to do while there so we are adding extra decorations. It feels like it is going to rain tonight during the party so we are also adding a canopy of thick jungle leaves on the roof so that we can stay dry.Rojo is with me for the first time since making the new pond. He has been extremely protective over his new home and has been making sure that the new occupants are all getting along and p
Once the party is in full swing, I immediately spot Hazel talking to Connor off to the side. Even though she is slightly more subdued than before I can see that she is still trying to enjoy her time with him. It is my sincerest hope that she will be able to set aside her fears for the future and continue to get to know him better. In any relationship there is the chance that things will not work out. This is just something a little more. With a more obvious time table. Dante is busy making sure that everybody is left without a clue as to what this party is all about. He keeps going around giving slight clues to both parts of the party without actually telling anybody that it is for two different couples. It is a little entertaining to watch everybody walking around speculating at what is going to come. "You know, when you came to the pack and took it over, I never expected this. I never thought that something like this could ever work." Rosa says stepping beside me. "Oh yeah? What i
As we all walk up onto the stage, everybody grows silent. They all know that this is going to be a big announcement. Many are whispering about babies and the fact that that has to be what this party is all about. What they have not realized yet is that there is so much more to this party than just a baby."Alright, everybody, thank you all for coming on such short notice. We decided on a whim to throw this party to share our joy and excitement with you all. I know that we have been keeping things a little cryptic all day but there is a reason for that. Sometimes, news is just too big to keep telling over and over. Sometimes, it needs a big announcement. That is what this is. Are you all ready to hear all of the new stuff that is happening around here?" He shouts to the crowd.They all scream back at him excitedly. They all have pretty much guessed the main idea of some of this party but nobody has been able to guess the entire thing. We are going to have to help them out on that one.
"Alright, if everybody could please calm down once more. There is yet another announcement that I would like to make. One that I am just as excited about." Dante says as he walks towards the front.He motions for me to join him. Reaching out a hand, I make sure that they all remember that we are united. We have been ever since we first became mates. It is something that is not going to change. Even if some of those in the pack might have an issue with how everything is changing since I came along."Some of you have been guessing that our Luna has conceived a child. It is my sincerest pleasure to say that yes, she has in fact been blessed with a child by our Goddess. So now we have two pups on the way!" Dante announces excitedly.Everybody cheers even louder than before if that is possible. I find myself blushing as everybody cheers on my pregnancy. Werewolves always celebrate new pups but I have never before seen a Luna's pregnancy be announced. Maybe this is how packs always react? S
"Laina, Laina!" I hear from behind me on my way to Scarlett's later that week.Turning around, I find Elle running after me looking frantic. I have not seen her look this disheveled since Scarlett went into labor and she was asking if she could come and help. It must be important if she is this disheveled and looking for me. "I am glad I caught up with you. I found him!" She says with her eyes shining brightly.With how excited she is I have no doubt in my mind who she is talking about. There is only one person that she wished to see this much. Only one person that she knows I am just as keen to see as she is. Does this mean that I will finally get to see him soon? Will I finally get to know my father again? Will he remember me?Excitement swirls in my belly as think of everything that I have been wanting to ask him. This day has been coming so long that I have no longer been expecting it. It was more like a wistful dream. Now, I am so excited that I can hardly contain it. Before I k
"What am I supposed to do if they are at war? Are they even going to let me get close?" I ask her incredulously."I would suggest that you approach this as a pack's Luna instead of as a Hybrid. You are both witch and werewolf so you can easily get in. You just have to be a Luna instead of a kick ass witch as well." She suggests. "I am getting awfully tired of having to hide half of myself. That is not how I want to introduce myself to people anymore. I am proud of who I am." I tell her."That is good and all but what is more important right now? It is not like you are completely lying to anybody. You are just only telling them a partial truth. Once you get closer you can find a way to break the news." Elle reminds me. "You have a point. Do you think that you could meet with Dante and I later? We can go over a plan on how to proceed." I ask."Yes, I can do that. I will finish gathering all of the information I can before I meet with you guys. Dinner then?" She asks me."Sounds good.
After unloading all of my feelings onto Scarlett, I find myself feeling much lighter than I had before. I can think clearer and focus on what all I have to do. I know that I have to go and meet him and there is no way around hiding part of me from the rest of the pack. When I walk towards the witch house, I am happy to see that Hazel and Jade are both out by the lake, working on some of their magic. Even though they are no longer novices, they have both been going at their training with renewed purpose. They train just as much now as they did before. It is nice to see them working so hard at the parts of being a witch that they truly love. It is even better to see that neither of them has really tried to focus on combat and has instead chosen to explore other areas of their training that they have been lacking in.They both wave to me as I walk by and I smile in return. When I get closer to the house, I see that there are some Novices also out practicing by the corner of the house. W
