Finally, the last transfers are done for the day, the clock says 8:45pm. They have been at it for over 13 hours straight. A couple of meetings remain in addition to the other female from my old pack that was found last minute. I know Samantha and Violet are both tired, and I offer to walk Violet down to her room, but she declines, stating that she is more than capable of walking a single flight of steps.
Samantha comes right up to me and gives me another hug. My poor mate, I can almost taste the exhaustion rolling off of her. We walk to our room and I open the door while she just leans on me.
“I’m ready to just collapse.” She mutters into my shoulder. “Ugh. The couch is too far, bring it here.”
“In the hall?” I chuckle. “Come on, it's not far.” I sling her arm over my shoulder and walk her into the room. We go to the couch and sit down. She snuggles into my side for a
After setting our alarm I settled into bed beside my mate, again she fell asleep on the couch while waiting for me to come out of the shower. No sooner did I turn off the light and she was snuggling into my side, this time hugging my arm close to her chest. I think back on the treatment that the Doctor was mentioning, the one that would help me become resistant to and eventually immune to silver. Goddess! I know I was showing a strong face while we were talking, but my heart was breaking for her... and a little bit for myself, I was not going to be able to show her how much I loved her until I was able to withstand her nails and teeth. Damn. How could a person, let alone a father do that to his daughter? What kind of heartless person would do that?My own tears fell from my eyes as I drifted off to sleep.~~~~~Blinding pain! I try to open my eyes but my limbs are sluggish. I try to open my mouth to cry out, but my entir
The rest of the morning went by quickly. Thankfully, the last few meetings the accompanying Lunas also decided to attend. One of the Lunas sat with me on the couch and introduced herself to me as Mimi. I learned that this was her birth pack and that she used to be real good friends with Violet and Samantha. After the meeting with her pack was over the three of them shared a group hug and promised to visit again soon. Her mate, Alpha Dustin agreed and asked about Daren and Greg, seems he hit it off with them as well and was a little disappointed when his little sister didn’t find her mate with one of them. It was all for the best he said, as the Moon Goddess has greater plans than any of us know. I exchanged contact information with him, and we also made plans to get to know each other better as our mates were childhood friends. He runs the Roanoke pack and is located close to the ocean. That would be a nice getaway during the summertime.After the last mee
My love went to wash her face, as everyone started to leave her room. She asked Daren and Greg to put the rocks in her office for safekeeping until we could get them properly sealed and replaced in the rebuilt flowerbed.“What time do you want to leave?” She called from the bathroom; because she was only washing her face the door was open.“I don’t know, we need to go soon though. It's about an hour’s drive from here. Not to mention I kinda left my room a disaster before I left.” That got a giggle from Samantha.“So, let me get this straight, you left your room a mess, and planned to bring your mate there to see it?” She smirked. “Do I need to wait in the car while you hide your dirty underwear?” She teased.I knew she didn’t mean anything by that comment, but it hurt. I sighed subconsciously and looked away. Going back to what I knew
We pulled all the way down the long driveway to the packhouse. My parents were standing out in the yard with Daren and Lily. My eldest brother Christopher is out here with his mate and future Luna, Laura. Matthew and Ron were also out here, Matthew is my dad’s Beta and Ron is his son and Chris’ best friend. The unofficial word was that Ron would be named Chris’ beta any day now.Samantha parked the car and we both got out. “So, you never told me. Do you have a driver’s license or a car?”“I have a license, but never felt the need for my own car. I would just use one of the packs.” I admitted.Samantha nodded. “That’s...practical I guess.” She snapped her head to me as we approached the group. “You’re NOT driving MY baby! So, get that thought out of your mind!”I smiled and grabbed her free hand and pulled her over to
“So, tell me what you want me to do?” Samantha asked looking around.“Um, I know I want to bring all of my movies and comic books.” I start, “And my comic figurines. Should I bring my PS4? I know you already have one, and what about the TV?”“We’ll just pack it, to be sure. If something happens to mine, then we won’t have to go out and buy a new one.” That made sense. “Could you grab the bubble wrap when you get some boxes?”I nod, “Okay, I’ll be right back.” I head out the door as Samantha sits on the bed and looks around again. I can see her inhale my scent deeply and I can’t help but smile. When she is not paying attention, I sneak a picture. It's perfect, the sunlight coming through the window and Samantha looking down and away slightly.“What are you doing, waiting for the bubble wrap to magical
We drove home in silence, every once in a while, I would think I saw Sam glance over at me from the driver’s side, but she quickly looked back to the road when she caught my eye. After a while she sighed and finally spoke. “Are you mad at me?” She glanced at me worriedly.“Mad? About what?” I asked, a little shocked.“You haven’t said much else to me since I let that person go.” She rubbed her eye with her left hand. “Should I have not stepped in? Not gotten involved? …. did you not like me going off on her like that?” She almost whispered that last part.“No! I’m glad you stepped in! They had no business jumping Lily like that, and if I was there I probably wouldn't have been so calm about the situation.” I crossed my arms. “I get a little protective of my sister. And besides, they asked for it.” I smirked, remembering how m
It was well after midnight before we got back to the room, we won by a wide margin, however, right after the game Samantha was called to the west border unexpectedly. I waited up for her in the pack house, wanting to be close in case she called for me. Daren and Lily came back home sometime during the first half but went upstairs shortly after-only for Daren to come back to investigate the border with Samantha.When she returned, she was quiet, thoughtful and a little anxious. I brushed it off as a byproduct of our confession to each other and didn’t breach the subject. When I left the shower, I was fully expecting my mate to be asleep on the couch but instead she was sitting up in bed waiting for me. She again had her bottom lip between her teeth but released it as I walked over. I still rubbed my thumb lovingly over her lip and kissed her cheek.She slid over for me to get in the bed and watched as I turned off the light. “Ever
After breakfast I had to go to see Dr Banner for my appointment. Samantha also had business at the hospital regarding the dead woman from last night, so she offered to walk with me. Violet also went down with us, in case we found out anything she would be the one to research and reach out to the dead woman’s pack.... if there was one. It was clear the poor woman was a likely a rogue, the smell alone would distinguish that. Dr Banner led us in, and I was unsure if I was even wanted in the morgue; but Samantha grabbed my hand as I started to fall behind and pulled me close.The body lay on a table, the rags that were used as her clothes were bagged up and sat carefully on a table. The smell was already putrid, and it was all I could do to keep my breakfast down. Dr Banner and a nurse stood on the other side of the table and looked at us sadly.“Well, I have determined that her cause of death was from a massive fall. Her neck was br
