Unfortunately, Susan’s subconscious was still stuck on Travis and his rejection of her as his mate. It hurt her deeply, even if Susan didn’t want to admit it or examine it. Sometime during the night, Susan began to dream...
“No Travis, please don’t hurt him. I swear to you we’re just friends.” Susan pleaded with Travis whil
Upon arriving at work, Tracey was in the kitchen cooking what smelled like a delicious breakfast. If Susan’s lupine senses were correct, as she sniffed the air, she scented eggs, sausages, and… pancakes with maple syrup. Susan’s stomach growled as a result of the lone high protein, low carbohydrate breakfast bar she had grabbed with her numerous cups of coffee.
“Gannon, can I talk with you please?” Susan asked as she entered the kitchen after work.Alpha Gannon and Luna Cat were helping the older three children carve jack o’ lanterns from pumpkins. Gannon met Cat’s eyes and she nodded slightly as she slid into his spot, carving with Kimi and Keme. “Here, let mommy help you,” she s
“I’m here to meet with your young Alpha and Luna. My name is Gannon,” he told the guard at the far edge of the Mississippi Bluffs Pack territory.The guard’s eyes looked far off for a bit, he was likely mind-linking either the Alpha or Luna or both. When the guards eyes cleared, he responded, “Luna Paulina will see you.&rdq
Halloween was fast approaching, and Gannon had begun building housing, either for the Mississippi Bluffs Pack to hide out, or for any of his former pack members wishing to reunite. As the delivery driver walked toward him, Gannon snapped out of his daydreaming and made eye contact. “Okay sir, that’s the last of it. That’s 100 shipping containers and 100 heating units. You should be ready for a small army, even in the cold.”
October 30th came fast. Susan tried not to concern herself with what was to come, but she was an empath. She felt, literally, the struggles that others were suffering. Being helpful and concerned was simply part of her DNA. Susan had developed these skills as she grew into an adult werewolf, but her emotions seemed even more intense since meeting her mate. She said to herself out loud, “why would The Creator pair me with someone that doesn’t want me?” Now was not the time to stress over it, because there was too much to accomplish today.
As Susan backed into the garage, she saw there appeared to be more people here now than earlier. Of course that was positive because that meant less were in harm's way tomorrow. Susan stepped out of the van and began unloading the food. So deep in thought. Susan jumped when a deep voice said, “Do you need some help?”Susan looked at the youn
“How’s it going? Did everyone get settled?” Travis asked loudly as he walked up to a table filled with his pack members. Several began to answer him at once, but Travis couldn’t help but notice that Susan, his mate got up and left the garage. It took everything Travis had not to go running after her, but he managed to keep his face void of emotion and pretend to be attentive to his pack members.
Travis woke up on the ground with a bunch of commotion to his left side. Every muscle in his body hurt. Travis lay there momentarily as he tried to remember how he got on the ground. Looking to his right, Travis saw Luna Paulina standing next to him with something in her hand and wires that went from her hand to his torso. Travis narrowed his eyes and looked up to her face, “Mom? What happened?”
