"So, are you saying that instead of letting us live in your protection, you sent us out on our own with nobody to help us if things were to go wrong?" I ask indignantly.
"That was not my intention. I thought that if your location were to be kept a secret then you would all stay safe. I am still not sure how they got into my office to find the location but somehow somebody snuck in and found out where you were. I did not find out until it was too late and we could not help. I told everybody else that I gave up your location to keep the rest of the pack safe and to hide the fact that somebody managed to sneak into my office. I have a reputation as a fearsome, heartless alpha and I wanted to keep it that way so I just let everybody think that I sold your family out instead of having to admit that I had failed. I know that it wasn't the right thing to do but I could not let the pack think that I was growing weak. If that happened then I would not be able to find out who broke int
When we get back at the pack house Natalie is already there waiting for us. Unsure what all Dante has told her through mind link I let him begin. "Natalie, I am glad you got here quickly. I have an idea that I want to run by you but I want you to know that it is completely up to you and there is no pressure whatsoever to try and get you to choose either way." Dante says.Natalie, understandly, looks nervous at his statement but follows us inside nonetheless. I smile at her in what I hope is a reassuring way and run to get us all some drinks. When I get back I hand her a glass and sit down on the sofa across from where she is sitting."How are you feeling today?" I ask her politely."Not too bad. A little nervous at this point but before that I was feeling better than I have for a while. My morning sickness hit later in pregnancy than normal but luckily, I am starting to feel a little better today." She says rather nervously."Well, I wanted you to stop by
Kiba has decided to extend his stay for up to a week longer to get to know Natalie better. Previously, I would have been thoroughly upset about this but now the news actually makes me smile a bit. To see him finally get a chance at some type of happiness and for her to be able to potentially have a whole family makes me feel like something is finally going right.I can't help but wonder when it will be time for me to make the decision to have pups of our own. Being surrounded by friends and family that are all having their own babies makes me want to embark on our own journey soon. Still, now is not quite the time. We have to figure out what is going on with the witches and see if we are going to be able to raise our kids in peace or not. I do not want to worry about if my children will have to grow up similar to the way that I did. That was not ideal for any wolf pup and without my witch blood who knows how badly it could have turned out?My grandmother also mad
Since we have not had a regular pack dinner for a while with me having had my heat and the tournament it seems like a good time to have another one. Of course, there is an extra pack here but we might be able to watch how Kiba and Natalie's interactions have changed over the last couple of days. They have been spending lots of time together but we have not been with them to see how it has been going. Scarlett is excited to come over and see what all has changed as well since she has not been around much. Apparently her pregnancy has been making her extremely sick lately so she has been stuck in her house. I planned to go see her tomorrow but she said she thinks that she can make it to the dinner as long as food is involved. As Dante and I head out to get some food for the dinner tonight, I can't help but wonder what is going on with Lovette. Nobody has really seen or heard from her recently as she has been staying with a psychiatrist while they figure out
Dinner is going to be a hit tonight. We got the steaks cooking and we are also making plenty of sides as well as what everybody else is bringing. Kiba is coming over to help us cook the meat since he is not back with his own pack yet. As I change my clothes into a light sundress, I look into the mirror and see an amazing change before me. Even though I exercise constantly I have gained quite a bit of weight since coming here. I am by no means overweight but I finally do not have bones sticking out from being underweight anymore. I have gained lots of muscle in places that I did not know I could gain muscles either. Even my skin and hair seems to be healthier lately. When I first came here my hair hung down a little on the lifeless side and my skin just looked worn all of the time. With the lotions that Scarlett got me and the hair products that I got from the salon I do not even look like the same person as before. Now, I would almost guess that I look more on the vibrant si
The pack dinner lasted late into the night and ended with all of us in the rec area playing games. Dante and I won all of the team games that we played. Overall, we all ended up having a fantastic night even if we did all get to bed extremely late. Now, it is time to get back to our lessons and making sure that the pack is prepared for attacks by either wolves or witches. Granted, we have not told them that we are preparing for witches as well but hopefully some of the training that we have been giving them will help with that as well. So far, Lovette is still not cleared to come back here as the therapist thinks that it might trigger her to back slide to where she started but I am waiting impatiently for the day that she can attend classes again. She was a natural and I am sure that without the distraction caused by Akela she will thrive even more than before. While I am teaching combat style lessons to the females and younger wolves, Dante is also increasing
True to her word, Natalie told Kiba of her intentions to go with him back to his back after the pack dinner. Today is the day that she is planning to leave and the entire pack has turned out to help her pack up and move. It is raining slightly but that does not dampen everybody's mood. We are all thrilled for Natalie and the chance at a good life for her and her pup. Some still have reservations on Kiba's demeanor but as they spend more time with him, watching him interact with her, most of those reservations seem to be going away. Scarlett and the other women that grew up with Natalie are shocked to see her leaving and are not actually much help to the packing and moving process. They keep breaking down into tears and fits of hugging that are nowhere near productive.Besides that, most of the pack is happy to see her going somewhere where her pup will be well taken care of and they can have the life that they should have had if her mate hadn't died so early. Amora is here to
We are not entirely sure when the witch is going to show up or which one it even is. In order to prepare we are trying to find different things that might hint to who I am and cover them up. The photos of me and my parents that were in the pack house are going to storage as is the correspondence that I received from my grandmother. Thankfully, there is not much else that might hint at who I actually am.The wait to find out when a witch is going to come and visit is absolutely brutal. I find myself jumping at every noise and completely unable to relax no matter what. Poor Dante is not sure what to do for me as he has to be nervous himself at the prospect of meeting one of the witches. Our biggest worry is which witch will it be? Will it be Morden herself, or will it be another of the witches that we do not have the distinct pleasure of knowing.Even though we were trying to prepare ourselves to wait a few days for the witch to show up but surprisingly she shows up the
Rosa meant what she said about trying to get as much training done as she could before she had to head back to the other witches. We showed her to her room and then went to make lunch. As soon as we all sat down for lunch the questions began. "So, what kind of abilities do you have?" Rosa asked. "Um, I am not sure. What do you mean?" I ask confused. "Well, each witch has one area that they specialize in even though you should be able to dabble a little bit in each area of witch studies. The fact that you are also a werewolf means that your abilities might differ slightly or maybe you even have less abilities. Some witches have an elemental affinity, some have almost skinwalker tendencies while others mostly focus on herbs and potions. Have you noticed anything unique about you that might hint at any of these abilities?" She asks sweetly. Thinking of how I can turn into different animals I nod slightly. Before answering though I also remember a few oth
