A Nerd for the Hockey Alpha Captain Chapter 78: Butterfly Chains
Two weeks old.Lyra and Damon were two weeks old and had discovered they have hands. Not just fists for punching air. Hands that grab. Everything. Hair, carrots, noses, each other.Maya said this is normal. "Grey pups discover hands, then they discover world is theirs to grab," she said.So we made them chains. Not real jewelry. Too small for real jewelry. But Elara and Hope insisted, because I got a butterfly chain in the garden photo and they said it was unfair if only Mama gets butterflies.Caelum carved two tiny butterflies from soft wood, sanded until smooth, no sharp edges. One white-grey wood, one black-grey wood. Luna sewed them onto soft string, string long enough that it wouldn't choke, short enough that it wouldn't tangle. Nia touched them with white light, not for magic, just for blessing."Butterfly for balance," she whispered. "Same as your mama."We put them on.Lyra — white-grey butterfly on white string — stared at hers like she knew it was hers. She didn't grab it. S
A Nerd for the Hockey Alpha Captain Chapter 77: First Walk
Week one done.Lyra and Damon were seven days old. Seven days of no sleep, all milk, all howls, all blanket nest. Seven days of Elara and Hope fighting over who gets to burp who. Seven days of Pip asking if they can eat cake yet. (No, Pip. Not yet.)Maya said I had to walk. "Grey mother needs air, or milk goes sad," she said, which might be science or might be Maya making up rules again.So we walked. First walk since birth. First walk as four.Not far. PackHouse porch to forest edge. That's it. But Kai treated it like we were crossing mountains. He had Lyra strapped to his chest in a wrap Elara and Luna made from old curtains — white-grey wrap, of course — and I had Damon in black-grey wrap. Elara and Hope held each side of me like I might fall, even though I wouldn't.Fifty wolves lined the path. Not howling. Just watching. Guarding."They think we will drop them," Kai whispered, gold eyes scanning trees like danger would come from a leaf."We will not drop them," I whispered back,
A Nerd for the Hockey Alpha Captain Chapter 76: Promises,Not Names
Day four of four.Tradition says: Day one and two, pack gives names. Day three, mother rests. Day four, pack gives promises.I had not rested on day three. No one lets a mother of twin Grey pups rest. Lyra decided she only sleeps if she is on Elara's chest. Damon decided he only sleeps if he is on Hope's chest, or my chest, or Kai's chest, but never alone, never in the basket Caelum carved that was supposed to be perfect.So day three was musical chairs with two babies who already run the house.Now day four. Promise Day. My favorite and my most hated tradition.PackHouse was full again. Not just 30 kids and 50 wolves. Everyone. Luna, Aria, Vex, Caelum, Maya, Nia, Number 2 with TWO cakes this time — one white frosting, one black frosting, both with grey swirls, he remembered — and Pip with a new list.PROMISE LIST FOR LYRA AND DAMON GREY, the cardboard said. He spelled PROMISE wrong, but we all knew.I was in the blanket nest, finally wearing a clean shirt that wasn't covered in milk
A Nerd for the Hockey Alpha Captain Chapter 75: The Holding List
Day two of four.Lyra and Damon were 24 hours old and already had a waiting list.Not a cute, little list. A real, written-on-cardboard-by-Pip, taped-to-PackHouse-fridge list that said in wobbly crayon:HOLDING LIST FOR LYRA AND DAMON GREY1. Elara and Hope (ALREADY DONE) (SISTERS PRIVILEGE)2. Maya and Nia3. Caelum (has clean hands)4. Luna (will cry but okay)5. Vex and Aria (if they promise not to be scary)6. Number 2 (if he brings cake again)7. Everyone else8. Pip LAST because he fell off chair yesterdayFifty wolves were not on the list. They were offended. They sat outside the bedroom door, whining.I was propped up in the blanket nest, finally able to sit without feeling like my body would split in half. Lyra was on my left, swaddled in white that Elara had picked. Damon was on my right, swaddled in black that Hope had picked. Both grey in the middle. Both staring at nothing and everything with those new eyes that couldn't focus but somehow saw everything.Kai was standing
A Nerd for the Hockey Alpha Captain Chapter 74: Mirror Day
Morning after naming. Day one of four.I hadn't looked in a mirror in 38 weeks. Not really.I saw belly. I saw stretch marks that looked like lightning. I saw paws kicking from inside. I saw Kai's face when he looked at me like I was a whole galaxy he couldn't believe he got to live in. But I hadn't seen me. The me underneath all that becoming.Lyra and Damon were asleep on my chest. Both at once, finally, after a night of taking turns crying so the other could sleep. A system they invented at 2 hours old and stuck to. One white-grey, one black-grey, breathing in sync like they had choreographed it inside me for nine months. Lyra's tiny white fuzz against my left, Damon's black fuzz against my right. Balance, even in sleep.Kai was asleep sitting up, back against the nest wall, hand still on my ankle, even in sleep. Gold mark dim, finally resting. He hadn't let go since I pushed the second one out. His other hand was holding an empty water bottle and a cold cloth he kept forgetting to
A Nerd for the Hockey Alpha Captain Chapter 73: Lyra and Damon
Two howls. Still ringing in the PackHouse walls, in the wood, in my ribs.Two pups on my chest. Still wet. Still warm. Still deciding if they liked this world or wanted to go back.Kai was still sobbing against my forehead. Gold tears on my skin, on their tiny fuzz, on the blanket nest that Elara and Hope spent a month making perfect and I had just ruined with birth fluid and everything else. I had never seen him cry like this — not when we fought in the training circle, not when we mated under the full moon, not when Hope came early and scared us all half to death. This was different. This was wrecked, silent, alpha-on-his-knees, forehead-to-mine, can't-breathe crying."Hey," I whispered, my voice completely gone, hoarse from screaming. "You're scaring them.""They should be scared," he choked out, but he was laughing through the tears, gold eyes blown wide, mark burning hot where his skin touched mine and theirs. "Their dad is absolutely useless. First-time dad of twins, zero experi
