Here's the first. Enjoy! -A :)
Baylor POV When we arrived at the packhouse oddly enough the only person in the living room was Kenneth, my best friend and Beta. Baby Marlon had fallen asleep during the walk back and for that I was thankful, but it wouldn’t be long before he would wake again and be hungry or worse; need a diaper change. When Kenneth spotted me coming through the door he got a confused look on his face. When his mouth opened to say something, I mind-linked him. ‘Go up to my room. We’ll talk there.’ He simply nodded and walked up the stairs. When we got into the room, I laid the pup on my bed before going to sit on Mitchums bed to talk to Kenneth. “You know how Alpha Stephan was supposed to be coming to help build the temporary housing?” I asked Kenneth. “Yeah, he was just waiting for his Luna to have their pup, so they could travel,” he replied casually. “Well Stephan isn’t coming and that is his pup.” I said pointing to where Marlon was laying on my bed. “What are you gonna do Bay?” Kenneth asked.
Siobhan POV I am so happy to finally be able to hold my gift from Selene in my arms. She is absolutely perfect, my little Connie Avery Cashel. I hope that Fiadh is right though, and that Alpha isn’t upset with me. The Moon Goddess told me that Connie and I are an important part of a task she assigned to Alpha. I don’t know what the task is, but I know it will be important to work with him on this. I will ask him about it tomorrow. Tonight I am exhausted and I need to rest and take care of my pup. She is absolutely breathtaking. I have unwrapped her from her blanket several times just to admire her ten little fingers and ten little toes. It just tickles me to see them so tiny and perfect, just like she is. Feeding her the first time had been much easier than I had anticipated, but I listened to Luna Freya when she told me what to do and Connie latched right on. Then when she had her fill, I rubbed and patted her back like Luna had explained. As much as I would love to sit and hold
Baylor POV I am blown away by Siobhan’s selflessness and I wouldn’t say it out loud, but maybe just a little intimidated by her new found hutzpah. She took charge of everything and even stood up to me when she felt she was being dismissed. When she pulled her boob out to start feeding Alpha Marlon it was a little weird, but it was like it was natural and normal for her. Luna Freya and the other females came back about an hour after Siobhan had fed Marlon and showed Kenneth and I how to change a nappy. I am debating pulling the Alpha card when the little guy poops though, not sure I can deal with that. At any rate Luna Freya took me down to the kitchen and showed me how to make a bottle for when he wakes next. Kenneth and Phoebe are currently curled up on Mitchum’s bed so they can help and I am heading down to the room where the guard Machieste is. Delania is watching over him until the healers can get here. I knocked and then entered the room and Delania’s eyes popped open. “Any
Delania POV I don’t think Baylor meant what he said last night, at least not in that manner. Don’t get me wrong, I would be thrilled if he meant that he thought I was beautiful, but I am sure he meant the lullaby. Ever the gentleman, even tired, wanted to pay a compliment and think of someone before himself. I have noticed he does that, puts everyone else in front of himself. Whether it is physical needs like making sure everyone else eats first, or making the most insignificant feel as if they are the most worthy. Those are the marks of a great Alpha, he may not be the strongest and definitely doesn’t fully grasp all that being a werewolf is, but he is kind and selfless. Whenever his Luna comes, she will be a lucky gal to have him and I hope she is worthy of him. For now I will accept those occasional kisses that are incredible and when I get the opportunity to let Sarafina out to run with Shammus, his wolf. Machieste looks as if he is continuing to progress well, he seems to be l
Baylor POV It felt like I had to hit the floor running this morning, Alpha Marlon woke us all bright and early. I now understood what Alpha Colin had meant by pups not breathing right. More than once I woke up and stuck a finger under Marlon's nose to make sure he was breathing. Thank the goddess that Phoebe is an eternal ball of sunshine and volunteered to go make a bottle bringing coffee when she came back. Then she asked me to go down and see Delania, so much for the shower I was looking forward to. When I had gotten to the room where Delania was, she looked like a whole snack and sent Shammus into his usual dialogue about kissing her and going for a run with her wolf Sarafina. When she asked me to lick the wounded guard, I thought she was pulling some sort of hazing prank on me and figured if I threatened to make her pay she would back off. She remained adamant and so I did as she asked. It was gross and I swear if I find out she lied I’ll have her scrub toilets with her toothbru
Baylor POV The rest of the day went really well, once we got past the shit show of the morning. Agatha came and gave Machieste another dose of healing magic. And After listening to our plan, placed the suppression spell on Alpha Marlon’s aura. I hope that was the right decision, but it feels right and Alpha Colin agreed it was a sound idea. Just before lunch we introduced the Cashel ‘twins’ as the pack’s first of the next generation. After talking with Dane and Alpha Colin, it was decided that we are going to have to really step up pack security and training. However we decided that training would be canceled, just for the next two days so we could focus on getting the housing in place. We have been extremely fortunate that there hasn’t been any bad weather with many of the pack members sleeping in tents waiting for housing. One good rain could make a terrible mess of an already stressed situation. We actually managed to get three of the four structures walls up and two of those
Delania POV I was so surprised when Alpha Baylor invited Sarafina to run with Shammus tonight. I won’t lie and say that for just a brief moment I fantasized about seeing more than his naked chiseled chest and abs. I want to know how far that tattoo on his left hip dipped into his pants and I definitely wanted to know exactly what it felt like to have him pressed against me. When he led me out of the packhouse after dinner I expected that we would strip and shift leaving our clothes on the packhouse porch like we always do. But he led me past the training grounds and to the other side of the temporary housing that is being built. I was already giddy with excitement because he had held my hand the entire time. When he stopped and looked around I asked, “Alpha why did we come all the way out here? We usually leave our clothes at the packhouse.” When he looked into my eyes, it was as if he was staring into my soul. My heart beat frantically in my chest as he replied, “That’s an interes
Baylor POV This morning went far better than yesterday morning. I woke feeling refreshed and ready to face the day. After a quick shower and getting dressed I headed down the stairs. I couldn’t wait to see Delania this morning. When I got to the bottom of the stairs I saw Siobhan with one of the pups in her arms creeping towards the kitchen. I cleared my throat, “I said no work until tomorrow.” She jumped, startled and turned to face me red faced. “I wasn’t going to do anything Alpha, I swear. I was just going to see if everything was going as it should be,” she said sheepishly. “Siobhan, I know you’re a hard worker and you’re ready to jump right back into the swing of things. Just please take this one last day to let yourself just be a mom,” I encouraged. I didn’t want to be stern with her, because I realized she was soft hearted. I just need for her to understand how importantly I view motherhood. Maybe I am a little overboard since I didn’t have my own mother most of my life, but
