I carried her atop my back and took her back to the shift gathering, noting that the only people who had remained were Bella, my mates and their own mate. On spotting the fact that I was carrying an injured person on my back, all of them stopped looking at me and helped me get her off my back. Turning to me Dante asked me where I had found her and why I had brought her back to our gathering. “Do you have any idea who she is ? She doesn't even look like one of us? And here she is, you have brought her here into our pack.” “Please, she's hurt,” I pleaded, placing two hands together. Wordlessly, they agreed and started to lift her out of the field, where I had set her down. Dante was the stronger of the two Alphas, so he morphed into his wolf form and carried her on his back, adjusting to her weight, while Asher went ahead of him to prepare a room for her to stay in. I was more than confident that at least one of the maids in the mansion would know a little bit about healing, and I d
Over the next few weeks, Asher and Dante got busier with the pack. They had decided to finally erect a perimeter around the pack, like a wall so incidents like what had happened during the shift never happened again, yet they wanted to make sure they didn't obstruct any major paths, which was the main reason it was taking so long. They had taken to spending only nights with me; they would get back, we would share the table at dinner and then proceed to one of our rooms, where we would then excite each other until we had to sleep. It was a nice routine for me, and I found that I rather liked the company of Bella and Andrea. I had decided to tell Bella that I was pregnant, since she was the one who dressed me everyday. As soon as she knew, she became more careful with my outfit choices, which helped me conceal my pregnancy from my mates. Sometimes, Dante would ask if I was putting on weight, and I would jokingly wave it off as me eating way too much food since I had first met them, an
That morning, before heading out, both Asher and Dante came into the kitchen. With wide smiles, they kissed me, Andrea and Alec goodbye. Smiling, I headed to the living room so I could have breakfast there. Toasting and buttering a few slices of bread, Andrea took her time, asking me to please come get Alec.Grateful for the opportunity to be around him for a while longer than I had thought, I nodded and then realized she couldn't see me, coming to pick Alec from the kitchen counter where he was perched.“Hi Alec!” I cooed, smiling at him. Clapping his hands together, he squealed, and I pulled the precious boy towards me.“Would you like to eat some eggs? They're really good!”Nodding his head, he attempted to wriggle out of my arms and onto the floor, so I set him down, watching as he jumped out of my arms and onto the floor.Crawling towards the plate, he picked up a morsel of egg and put it into his mouth, chewing noisily on it. He made a curious face first and then ended up with a
Gushing, I pulled him closer to me and attempted to teach him more words.He seemed to have had ebought of that and instead squirmed out of my arms, so I left him alone to play, knowing that that maids would be watching him like a hawk to make sure that he was okay. Pulling Andrea out in the hallway, we walked to her room, Andrea squirming under the strength of her grip.“Olivia, what is wrong with you?” she yelled as soon as the door was shut. Pacing on the floor, I tried to recound the things that Dante had said in the kitchen earlier.I sat down on the bed, and concerned, she took a seat right beside me. “Come on, you can tell me. What's going on?”“I think they know. And if they don't know, then they suspect.” I said, squeezing my fingers into a ball. “Know what? Suspect what?” spluttered Andrea, rubbing her arms against her forearms where I had grabbed her. Apologizing, I got up.“I am so sorry about your arm. I kind of panicked and I went all crazy. I didn't mean to hurt you-
It was almost a direct replica of my room, but the detailing was so perfect, I almost couldn't look away.The bed was big and could contain at least 4 people at once, and it had a dresser that I loved. Walking over to it, I ran my hands across the smooth wood.Catching my reflection in the mirror, I could see that it was also shocked by the amount of luxury that we were casually viewing. “This is such a beautiful room," I gushed, turning over to them with a smile. The three of us were the only ones in the room, and the door had been shit behind them - one of the maids had carried Alec out to put him down for a nap. It felt good to be casually surrounded by all of the luxury, and I continued to explore. Saying nothing, both of them exchanged glances and left me to explore. Encouraging me, Dante said, “go on, check it out. We'll wait.” With that assurance, I let go of my inhibitions and looked around the room like it belonged to me, and I loved what I saw. It looked like a huge space
Later that night, all three of us sat around the dining table with our meals placed in front of us. The mood was celebratory and everyone from the chef to the servants seemed to have gotten the memo. I had left Andrea with Alec a few hours ago to have my bath and get dressed up, and when she wanted to do the same and get ready, she dropped him off with me too. I had played with him on the bed while Asher and Dante got dressed and ready for dinner that night. The aroma of something amazing had been eating up the stairs for hours, and now it was time to finally partake of the good food we had been smelling for some time. Alec's skin had a rash and I stayed behind to powder his rashy arm before heading over to the dining area. He would be in my laps throughout the dinner, and I would only feed him the food I knew was safe for him, but the little nuisance seemed to have gotten the drift that powder stained and was making it his personal job to stain me with it consistently, powdering me
I stood there, my heart heavy with a mix of emotions. Should I be happy or sad that they are under the attack or I should feel sad for my once called home? “What do you intend doing?” I was asked by Dante. “I thought you would want to help them” he said looking at me. I raised a eyebrow as soon as I heard that.I looked into his eyes and I could see he was reluctant even though he had said those words. His words made me feel some sense of responsibility for my old home even though we grew apart. “I cannot do it,” I said, feeling the weight of the world on my shoulders. Andrea held one of our twins, Ishmael, while I cradled Alecxander in my hands. These twins were the result of my years with the White Water Pack and Liam Fenir, my so-called mate who had turned his back on me when I needed him the most. And now they had the audacity to come seeking my help, along with Diane, hoping for aid from me and my mates. That would never be possible. “You don’t desire to help them?” one of th
Bella Conned PovBeing a maid is what I will call my purpose, Bella thought, as she began to arrange the twins courtyard, “Olivia would never let me fix her room. “, I say to myself, as my mission begins. This mission is not one of protecting members of the pack or defending the great familia, it is something greater than that, I say to myself, “I must overcome.”. Soliloquy has really been my forte, ever since I, a beta had been appointed maid for the strange woman that had been brought home a little, not more than fifteen years ago. I began to see this young lady as a test which I must prepare for and overcome, study her and learn her secrets. Watching her grow, I could not really fathom it, “Mother of twins, Killer of rogues. “, becoming attached to the twins, I began to look up to this fully grown woman now, “A real warrior. “. But then I realize, Olivia has a secret- something making her simple heart heavy and alas, on the night of the awakening ponders to my reach. I re
