The next morning dawns way too early but we are more than ready to make the rest of the trip to our pack. After my recent magic usage to set up the sleeping area last night, I am once again fighting exhaustion but not at quite the level of before. This time, I feel as if I can manage my exhaustion instead of letting it rule me again.We are only about an hour away from the pack so after I have the building that we made yesterday turn back into a flat field, with a few extra flowers, we make our way to our pack. I cannot wait to sleep in our own bed once again tonight. It feels like it has been far too long since we were able to be home. Then again, most of my adventures feel that way.As we near the pack territory, our pack begins running out to greet us as well as the new pack. They all have friendly smiles as they bring the children stuffed animals, candy and even some new clothes. I am immensely proud of our pack for being able to once again open their arms to those that they do no
It really is quite lucky that we were creating these homes so close to our own pack as night gets closer. Instead of having to worry about dinner, our pack brings enough food for all of us to sit down and eat together. Each person comes up to welcome Dante and I back with hugs as they come over to bring the food."It is about time I get to see you again." I hear from behind me.Spinning, I find Scarlett standing there with Ulfred on her hip. I swear he has grown two inches in the short amount of time it has been since I have last seen them. Letting out a small squeal, I give them both a hug that they gladly return. Just then, Chelsea walks over to see what is going on."Scarlett, I am so happy to see you again. I actually have some fantastic news for you." I say excitedly."Oh what? Something so important that I had to wait this long to find out when you could have easily kept me updated using our mind link?" She asks with a raised brow.Whoops, I find myself blushing as I realize tha
We spent most of the night creating enough simple dwellings for the pack to sleep in. There is still much more work to be done inside them but it will have to suffice for the night. Everybody was so excited to get their own dwelling above ground that nobody was actually complaining about not having their houses finished. It is more exciting for all of them to have a house that they can see the sky from. Even the orphans were more than thrilled to stay in their new house. Chelsea fell asleep while we were finishing up working on the houses. Dante walks over to where she is sleeping on the ground and picks her up. This is going to be the first night that she stays with us. I am so excited for her to see her new room that I had some of the females in the pack decorate. It might have to wait for tomorrow since she is so tired. I do not want her to wake up and freak out in a new place and not be able to find us. The walk back to our own pack house is absolutely exhausting. I am more than
Waking up with a child in the room with us is a surreal experience. I had not planned on starting this for a few more months. I cannot wait to make breakfast with her for the first time and give her a tour of the house today. There are so many things that I want to teach her and tell her about her new life. Just one step at a time though. First, is breakfast. I walk over to her and find her still fast asleep on her cot. I would like to say that she looks like a little angel sleeping peacefully but that is far from the truth. She is laying with one arm across her forehead, both legs in a tangled mess with the blanket and even a little drool running down her chin. I cannot help but smirk as I look at her sleeping. "Wow, definitely not a sleeping beauty." Dante says from behind me while brushing his teeth. I give him a smack in the arm before reaching down to gently shake her awake. As soon as I touch her, she jolts upwards in shock. If I did not know better she almost seemed wary of
After we get the dough proofing, I lead Chelsea back up the stairs. When we reach the top floor, I turn right instead of heading towards my room. There are a few rooms on this floor that I never really took the time to explore with my always hectic lifestyle. Still, I do understand that all of these rooms are bedroom suites meant for our immediate family. Even Amora has a room at the end of the hall even though she chooses to stay in her own home now that I have taken over as Luna. "All of these rooms are for our family. I have not fully finished your room yet since we just got back but I did have some of the pack members working on it ever since you agreed to stay here." I tell her as we walk towards her door.I left the closest bedroom for the baby and any of the future babies so that I do not have to walk too far to get to them. After that, they are going to go in order by age. Youngest to oldest so while that would normally put Chelsea at the end, I have decided to put her only a
"So, does this mean that you like it?" I ask Chelsea while trying not to laugh once again."This....is.....AMAZING! This is so cool! Is this room really all for me?" She asks excitedly."Yes, of course it is. There is also a bathroom attached and a large closet. Right now we only have a couple of outfits for you but I will have Scarlett take you shopping at some point so that you can finish filling it with clothes." I tell her.Her eyes grow wide at the thought of all of the clothes that she could fit into a large dresser. Her mouth grows into a small smile before she turns and rushes towards the other two doors to open them both up. The first door just happens to be the closet. It is large enough for her to take about twenty steps into before she met the other door.Spinning back towards me she says, "This many clothes! Who has this many clothes? That is crazy!""Well, you do not have to fill it. You will find that it is easier than you think though. Especially when you go shopping w
The cinnamon rolls were definitely a hit with Chelsea but we rushed over to see if we could help with building more houses for the other pack. Chelsea has not stopped babbling our entire walk over about her new room and everything that she wants to learn in training. She really wants to do a bit of everything when it comes to training and that is something that I am more than happy to help her with soon."Do you think that the other kids in the pack are going to like me?" Chelsea says finally slowing down a little bit.I cannot help but stop and turn towards her. She is standing in front of me with her hands held loosely in front of her. Her eyes are downcast as she waits for me to respond to her. I kinda doubt that she has had the chance to meet new kids often so this must be a bit of a big deal for her. Not only does she have a new family to get to know but she also has an entire pack to meet as well."Chelsea, I have no doubts that they are going to like you. You do not have to mee
By the end of the evening I am beyond tired once again. Not so tired that I cannot enjoy walking Chelsea to her new room and helping her settle in. Her excitement is bubbling down a bit as her own exhaustion begins to sink in. Still, the thought that she gets to sleep in her own room tonight is enough to keep a little bounce in her step as we make our way back to the pack house."Do I get to see the witch house as well?" Chelsea asks as we round the corner leading to the house."At some point I will take you there. Let's get you settled in more before I take you to the witch house. I can make sure that you have a room there as well but it will not be quite like here. They will all accept you but you will not be able to do some of the same things that the witches do and there are no kids there." I tell her."Why aren't there any kids? Do the witches not like kids?" She asks me confused."Not at all. Lately the witch breed has found it extremely difficult to have babies. Luckily, the Mo
