The pack shows up in numbers to put on this party for the other pack. Each family brings enormous amounts of food. We have a pack dinner almost every weekend but we never have this many pack members show up at the same time. It is a great show of solidarity and strength.
As everybody finally gets in the mood to party, Kiba shows up with his crew of pack members. When his eyes instantly meet mine, I have to try to hide a shiver. I cannot stand this man no matter how good my mood is. He might have looks that some girls would swoon over but I cannot get past his aura of danger and the knowledge that he had my parents killed.
Breaking eye contact, I find my way over to Scarlett who is sampling all of the baked goods.
"I have no reason not to eat everything I want! If I gain weight I will just blame the baby." She jokes excitedly.
"Well, I might not be able to blame a baby but I am not afraid to eat everything I want." I say.
She just shakes her h
The party wound down pretty soon after we headed up to bed. Some of the pack members hung around long enough to clean up the mess that was left after we went to bed.Stretching and groaning, I debate whether or not I really want to get up and face the day. Is it possible to just feign a deep sleep and stay in bed all day until the other pack leaves? Dante groans really loudly making me crack a smile that I woke up before him. I am laying with my back to him so he comes up behind me and wraps his arms around me."Good morning, beautiful." He whispers in my ear.The feeling of him whispering in my ear sends a shiver down my spine. "Good morning. Can we take our pack house back today?" I say hopefully."They spoke to Kevin a little while ago and said that they would like to stay for a little longer. We knew it might be more than one day in the first place." He reminds me when I groan for an entirely different reason. I am tired of dealing with th
I guess that since the secret of my strenth is out to the Red Moon Alpha, we might as well use it to our advantage. It made more sense to keep it a secret but since that is no longer an option we might be able to spin it another way. Dante and I have been debating on how we want to handle this since he saw me sparring with Kevin and the only way to use it that I can see is to show Kiba up in a sparring match as well. Dante does not like it but we might be able to scare him a bit or else try making a deal with him if I win."Okay so there is something else we could try." I say to Dante suggestively. At a raise of his eyebrows I continue on, "What about we do a tournament. Kind of like the ones that they used to do with knights during the medieval ages. Instead, the winner can get information if they want. All I have to do is beat Kiba if he makes it to the finals and then we can get information from him as well.""That is a rather intriguing idea. I am just
Scarlett and I spent most of the afternoon shopping and eating. Apparently, if she eats nonstop she does not feel nausea. So, we stopped to eat almost every hour. I started out keeping up with her but eventually had to tap out. Now, it is time for us to get ready for the tournament. We have planned for it to start in about an hour so I am trying to rush and get dressed so that I can eat something before we start.Going downstairs, Dante and I both grab a quick protein filled breakfast before heading out back to watch as the tournament begins. We are both in it but we are not in the first couple of matches. We set the matches up using the quickest and fairest way that we knew how. We put names in a hat and picked two out for each match.There is a total of around 100 wolves competing in the tournament. All except for one of the wolves from the Red Moon pack are competing. The one that is not will be a referee for with one other wolf for any match that has a pack m
I walk up to Dante before entering the ring. "Are you ready to kick his ass, beautiful?" He asks me.Smiling, I reply, "You know it, I would not let him beat me. I plan on winning this entire tournament.""Well, until you get to me, of course. There is no way that you could beat me." He says flirtatiously."We will see about that. Sit down and watch me win this." I say back with a wink.He kisses my forehead before moving over to his seat to spectate. Kiba is sitting forward in his seat with a hunger in his eyes that I cannot understand. Is it for the violence and bloodshed that is going on around him or is it something else that has him enamored?Squaring up with his Beta, we knock gloves and begin to circle each other. I do not want Kiba know my strength until his match with me at the end so I do not want to go on the offensive yet. It does not take long for his Beta to throw a punch at me which I easily block and return the favor. I hit hi
The next wolf that I am to fight I have not actually met before. I believe that he was in the group that went to look for Quin with us when he was attacked by the witches. So far, I have liked the wolf even though I do not know much about him. He listened well to what Dante told him to do but I do not know much more about him to have an opinion on him.We start to circle each other, and he looks a little nervous about fighting his Luna. I have heard that most of the warriors think that Kevin has been exaggerating my skills since I am Luna so he is most likely afraid that he will hurt me. As I wait for his attack, I notice that a lot of our pack has gathered around to watch what happens.Finally, he dives at me and tries to get a low punch to the abdomen in but I turn sharply and bring my knee up into his gut instead. He starts to cough a little but starts circling again right away. This time, I feignt to the left before bringing my right foot around for a r
As the heat slowly begins to fade, I get more and more worried about Dante. Why haven't I seen or heard from him yet? Where could he be? I have faith that he is not injured because I am sure that I would know about it, but what could be keeping him?After what feels like an eternity, I start to shiver and pull myself out of the bathtub. With the heat gone, I find that I can finally stand up without my legs giving out, so I peel off my drenched clothes before grabbing a fluffy robe to throw on and walking towards the bed again. I am exhausted after that. From what I was told my heat takes up to 3 days though so it can't be over yet. Is it going to be more of the same or will it be different from what just happened.Remembering that I can mind link Dante, I say, "Dante? Are you okay? I expected you to be back here by now.""I am fine. I will be back soon. Just making sure that there is nobody else hiding in here. I found 4 wolves hiding in here waiting
The sandwiches eventually got eaten after we had another round of burning calories. Once I wake up again from my next nap, I notice that I feel a little different than after the last few naps. This time, I feel lighter and more energized. Poor Dante is still passed out on the bed, not even stirring. I must have worn the poor guy out.Hopefully, this is a sign that my heat is ending. As I get up and stretch, I notice that the sun is just now coming up over the horizon. Day 3, I have hopes to be able to get out of this room and maybe even this house today.It might be best to take a shower after all of this bedroom activity I have been doing lately. I grab some comfy clothes and head into the bathroom. As I start the shower I hear Dante start to stir. I was trying to let him rest a little longer but he could definitely use a shower as well so I step in and start shaving before he can join me."Hey there beautiful. Feeling better I take it?" He asks ste
Thankfully, I made it all of the way to lunch without any more episodes signalling that my heat was still going so Dante made a dinner reservation for us. I cannot wait to get out of this house! It might have only been 3 days but it feels almost like a life time. While I did love having the time with just Dante, I did not like the way my body had a life of it's own the entire time. I am ready to get back to normal. Well, normal for me that is.For dinner, we head out to the Italian Restaurant that we have begun to grow so fond of lately. The fresh air helps to clear my head and invigorate me once again. As we sit at the table eating, I can see the rest of the pack eyeing me curiously. They must all be wondering if I am going to have an episode again since we have left the pack house so soon.Dinner tastes even better after being locked in that house for a while. As I eat, I realize that I am moaning out loud and not just in my head. Slightly ashamed, I glance around bu
