I hope you liked this chapter. As always, I would love to read your comments.
As soon as the meeting was done, I was ready for bed. I was totally exhausted. Luke followed me up the stairs to our bedroom. When we got there, I went into the bathroom to take a shower and brush my teeth. When I was done, I got in bed and snuggled into the soft blankets. When Luke finished his shower, he got in bed beside me and I snuggled closely to him. I was in a deep sleep before I even told him goodnight. I felt like I had slept forever when I woke to Luke holding a cup of coffee under my nose. I opened my eyes, and smiled at him, “You know me so well. Thank you.” He smiled, “Anything for my beautiful mate. I would do anything for you. You know that right?” I nodded and replied, “I do know that. I hope you know that I would do anything for you too. Right?” He smiled, “I do.” I asked, “What brought all this on, babe?” He responded, “If you don’t feel comfortable doing this event tomorrow, I would be willing to pack our stuff and go home tonight.” I chuckled, “You’re so sweet. I
I woke the next morning, before dawn, and got up to get dressed. I decided on a pair of blue jeans with a royal blue tank. I threw on a black, long sleeve, button up shirt. I rolled the sleeves up to three-quarter length and left the buttons undone. I sat on the chair at the make up table to put my black Nikes on, then put on light make up and brushed my hair. I stood up and looked back at the bed. I sat on the edge of Luke’s side and bent to kiss his cheek. I got just an inch from his face and he turned his face and kissed my lips, “Good morning, love.” I smiled, “Good morning, babe. Are you ready to get going?” He smiled, “Yeah, just give me a few minutes. Do you want to go grab your coffee?” I sighed, “Yep. I’ll meet you down there. I’ll get one ready for you and have it waiting.” He smiled, “You’re awesome.” I walked downstairs and found Chloe sitting at the table, going over the list one more time. I sighed, “Good morning. Doing a last-minute check of the to-do list?” Chloe chuck
Almost everyone in the audience raised their hands with excitement. Blaze continued, “We are building an indoor Winter Park! There will be an area for skiing and snow tubing, an area for snowball fights, an area that has an ice castle to play in and to build a snowman, and there will be a snack bar area where pizza and hot chocolate, along with other favorite snacks, can be found. What do you think of that?” Everyone applauded with way too much excitement. Blaze and Zendaya laughed as Zendaya added, “If there is something you would like us to think about adding, let us know now, so that we can have our engineers add it to the plans.” One child asked, “Will there be snowboarding too?” She smiled, “I’m sure that will be available too.” One parent asked, “Will it be affordable?” Zendaya replied, “We are looking into the pricing. We want to make it affordable for all. Even if that means having free sessions during the day on a couple days per week.” Everyone applauded while kids yelled in
I slump, “I totally forgot about my luna ceremony. I guess I should put a different shirt on for travelling then.” Luke smiled, “Why? We’re just going to be flying home. We don’t have any formal visits with anyone today. Just stay comfortable. There is no need to change. We’re not even going to be flying commercial.” I sigh, “Okay. I guess I can do that.” Luke added, “We aren’t leaving until around eleven this morning, so there is plenty of time to wake up and say our goodbyes. I also want to talk to the hunters in the dungeons again too.” I nodded, “That makes sense.” I spent the morning visiting with Zendaya and Chloe while the guys spent the morning in the dungeons with the hunters. When they walked into the living room, Luke needed a shower beyond belief. I was surprised by the amount of blood that was on each of the guys, and I really didn’t want to ask. The only question I really wanted an answer to, was the only question verbalized out loud, “Are they dead?” Luke simply nodded,
Hugo gently raised his head and stretched his nose to meet my face. I gently held his head and kissed his nose, “My sweet Hugo. I love you so much. Are you okay?” Hugo nodded his head. A stray tear fell down my cheek and Hugo did something unusual. He lifted his nose and wiped my tear from my face. He snuggled his nose into my face and I smiled, “I wish you could speak, my boy. You’ve always been my best friend. You can’t leave me.” He sighed and put his head in my lap. I sighed, “I know you are preparing us with Bruno, but I’m not ready to lose you yet. I need you to stay and at least let my first child get to know you.” I put my hand on his head and could feel that he was in pain. I furrowed my brow and asked, “Where do you hurt?” He wiggled a little and I started rubbing my hands down his sides until I could feel him cringe a little. I asked, “Here?” He nodded slightly and I released my Omega powers full force. I could see him relax completely and my hands heated. On instinct, I rub
After we ended the call, Luke was looking at me with his brows furrowed and head cocked to one side, “Are you okay, love?” I was bawling like a baby as I buried my face in his chest. He wrapped his arms around me and rubbed circles on my back, calming me. When I was finally able to dry my tears, I breathed in his scent for a minute to calm myself a little more. He asked, “Are you ready to tell me what is going on?” I smiled as I looked into his eyes, “It worked. All of his tumors are completely gone. Judea called because Mateo was a blubbering mess.” Luke smiled as he hugged me tightly, “I am so proud of you. You are a blessing to so many, but most of all, you’re my blessing!” I looked up at him and there was a tear falling from his eye. We spent the rest of our flight just enjoying each other’s company. When we landed, I had a voicemail. When we got in our truck, I played the voicemail over the Bluetooth in the truck. Mateo’s broken voice sounded, “Sylvie Rose, you are the most amazi
As she lunged for me, I noticed that she had a knife in her hand. Luckily, she is much older and slower than I am. When she tried to stab me, I grabbed her wrist and used it to twist her arm behind her back. I pressed on the pressure point on her wrist to make her let go of the knife and grabbed her other arm to do the same. As soon as I had her in this position the front door flew open with a loud BAM as it hit the wall. Luke ran into the house, followed by two warriors as well as Cody and Rachel. Luke ran to me while a warrior grabbed Opal. I smiled, “Well, we won’t have to bring in Opal tomorrow. That’s her.” Luke growled, “I heard. Are you okay?” I nodded, “Yeah. I’m fine. The bitch was slow as hell.” I picked the knife off the floor and touched the blade, “It’s not even silver! Fucking amateur.” Luke laughed and shook his head at me. Cody walked up to me, “Woman, you scared the shit out of Luke! I thought he was going to kill everyone in the restaurant.” I sighed, “I had my phone
When I woke the next morning, I walked downstairs to get a cup of coffee after doing my morning routine and decided to go out to the back yard and see if we have any more berries to pick. As I walked through the yard with my coffee cup in my hand, I started seeing black, or dark, dots mixed in with the green leaves. I have ripe berries! Shit! I forgot something to carry them in! I walked back into the house and grabbed a bucket from under the island, then walked back out to the bushes. I noticed that we have ripe blackberries and blueberries. I decided to pick the blueberries first, and I would make pancakes with them. After I finish the pancakes, I will come back outside and pick the blackberries for freezing and maybe make some blackberry muffins. I filled my bucket full of blueberries and I knew I would be freezing some of them and, probably, making a blueberry cobbler. I took the blueberries into the house and washed them in a colander. I put some in a bowl with water and sugar to
