Chapter 37: Heat
Amelie
It's so hot! I kick off the blanket. Gideon is still asleep. I try to be as quiet as possible and move to a cool spot on the bed, flip my pillow, and try to get back to sleep.
Nope! Burning up! Do I have a fever? I feel fine; I'm just so hot. I get up as quietly as possible and go into the bathroom. I splash some cold water on my face, but it doesn't help. I turn on the shower and undress. I get under the cold water, and it feels better, but I'm still so hot. I get out of the shower and grab a towel. As I'm grabbing a towel, I look at myself in the mirror. I look back again, and I saw my eyes were flashing between their usual dark grey to Inari's topaz yellow. Then as I walk closer to the mirror to get a better look, they turn solid topaz, and I can feel I don't have control of my own body. Inari is in control.
"Inari, what's going on?" I'm frantic. I have no idea if this

Chapter 38: Love or Bond Amelie "Am, is this the first time you have gone into heat?" I feel a bit of possessiveness coming from Gideon. It's like he wants this experience only ever to be his. "I think so. I thought I had before, but after experiencing this, I know I didn't before." I push my feelings of love and security through the bond. Gideon hums when he feels my emotions, "These two days will be intense. We will swap back and forth with our wolves and continue to solidify our bond." Gideon's hands slowly trail down my back. I feel him push his emotions through the bond. The rush overtakes me. It's not a feeling of lust or desire but need and longing. I cup his face in my hands, "You are the greatest gift I could ever receive." I pull him to my lips. It's different than any kiss we have shared before. It's like a greeting in a way. As if we are embracing for the first time. I guess, in a sense, we ar

Chapter 39: Getting Emotional Amelie "Time to get up," I feel Gideon nuzzling my neck. His touch makes me want to enjoy the moment, "Can't we stay in bed a little longer." "Come on, up." He bites my neck playfully. It is instantly making me want to keep him in bed. "We are leaving tomorrow, and we have a lot still to prepare." "If you keep that up, neither of us will leave this bed." I pull myself closer to him. I nuzzle and kiss his chest. It's become my favorite place cuddled up next to him. He picks me up, "We will have time again tonight, my storm." He carries me to the bathroom and puts me down; he turns on the shower. We jump in, still teasing each other but hurrying at the same time. Every second we are together, I can't help but smile. We get dressed and head down to the kitchen. Benjamin and Becky are already down there. It has become routine for us to interrupt t

Chapter 40: Unexpected Amelie My tears dried quickly, "What? Why would there be upset she-wolves." Rage and jealousy started to bubble in me, and Inari was completely locked into the conversation as well. Fear was the only emotion on Matt's face, "Oh, I mean, Alpha Gideon was an eligible widower, and you know there is a group of she-wolves who would try and get his attention. I mean, it never worked, of course. Kind of like a fan club. Honestly, the only females Alpha paid attention to were his daughters." Inari and I calmed a bit but knowing that other women tried to claim mine was irritating. The only woman who didn't bother me but I was jealous of was Mandy for apparent reasons. The goddess fated her and Gideon. I couldn't hate her for that. "It's fine. Let's go back in. I need to clean up before my mother gets here." I need to get my emotions in check; I feel all over the place. I go back inside and

Chapter 41: A New Blessing Gideon Shortly after the girls leave, we all decide to do a training session with James outside. Logan and John are in their late 40’s but all wolves age slowly, and being Alpha’s, we are naturally more robust, so age doesn’t play a factor. We had enough to run some combat drills since we also had my men and some of John’s guards. Logan was always ready for a fight, and I could see he was itching to relieve some stress. We run drills and work on two on one tactics all morning. James is lying on the ground panting from fighting off two of my men, “Can we go eat before you officially kill me?” We all laugh, “alright, let’s go. I’m sure Becky is almost finished with lunch.” I help up the young Alpha. He has made some significant improvements in a short time. John puts his arm around James’ shoulder. It makes me miss my father and my girls. I can’t wait till

Chapter 42: Change Again Amelie After Gideon went up to take a shower, I turned to dad and Logan, “What was that all about?” Logan has moved over to mom and has wrapped his arm around her waist, “I did the same thing when your mom was pregnant with your brother Riley. It’s instinct, and it’s hard to control.” Logan was not one for PDA, so it was sweet to see them like that. Dad also cuddled up to Celeste, “It’s natural he will work through it. Just be prepared when it happens.” Seeing the love fest going on made me want Gideon. I turn my attention to the kitchen to help Becky with lunch. When I turn around, Becky and Benjamin are all cuddly too. I can’t help but start crying for no real reason, but I only want Gideon right that second. As soon as I start crying, Gideon comes rushing into the kitchen, no shoes on, a shirt in hand, jeans on only. “What is it what happened?” H

Chapter 43: Druit Guard Packhouse Amelie I stand frozen in front of my childhood home. Behind me is a caravan of SUVs and a moving truck. In front of me are the people who have raised me and stood by me, waiting to say goodbye. I have been through this before, but it feels more definite this time. Like I know, I will never call this my home again. It makes me a little sad. I’m happy I found Gideon. I am beyond excited to be pregnant but leaving the place that has given me so much safety and security for so long after everything I went through is harder than I ever imagined. Gideon walks up and puts his arm around me. “We need to get going. It’s not a goodbye. It’s your family; you will see them soon.” He can feel emotions swirling and twisting. Just his touch and his understanding put me at ease. “It just feels so final.” I sigh and lean into him. He rubs my shoulder, “Well, I guess it is

Chapter 44: Meeting the Pack Amelie Daisy is not having it. She pushes Gideon’s face away, “No, daddy! I want Amawee.” It was cute, but I could see a little hurt in Gideon’s eyes, “Daisy, how would you like to hold my hand and walk. We need to go inside to see everyone. Can you hold my hand?” I learned a long time ago Alpha children were different from other children. Male or female, they still carried Alpha blood and tended to be fiercer when they wanted something. The flip side is that they tend to be more intelligent, and you can be reasoned with. Daisy reaches for me, “I hold Amawee’s hand.” Gideon sets her down, and she takes my hand, and we all walk together to the front of the house where everyone is waiting. “Amelie, this is my Beta Tyson. His mate Shay and their son Easton.” They all bow their heads. Tyson is tall and thinner build than what I was expecting. He has light brown hair, pale skin,

Chapter 45: First Day as Luna Amelie I thought t was going to be a small dinner with the Beta and Gamma families. I had no idea it was with the whole pack that stays in the compound in the main dining hall. When we get to the doorway, Marcus is standing there and announces us. "Alpha Gideon and Luna Amelie. Attention!" Everyone stands at attention then bows their heads. I've never experienced anything like this before. I'm so nervous I don't know where I should or shouldn't look. I walk behind Gideon with the twins holding each of my hands. Out of the corner of my eye, I catch a table of she-wolves, and I can tell they don't like me. This must be the "fan club" Matt told me about. "Inari, we are going to need to concentrate our Luna aura in our gaze. You ready?" I was going to let them know who's boss from the start. "Hell yes! No one messes with our mate and family!" Inari snarls
