Emily POV “What do you mean?” Easton asked. “I was a kid again and I heard my parents arguing in the middle of the night. Daddy was yelling at mama about not hurting some “her” and mama said she didn’t belong there. Then daddy said that’s his daughter and that mama had done enough damage with her potion.” I rushed out. “A potion?” He mumbled with confusion. “That’s what I said. And he said something to her about she said she’d be my mother so she needed to be my mother.” I trailed off as a thought occurred to me. ‘Kyra, do you remember that?’ I asked my wolf. ‘I don’t remember very much from before you turned 4, honestly.’ She answered. “So, how old were you in the dream and why do you think it was a memory?” Easton inquired. “I tried to talk to Kyra and it was like she wasn’t even there. She doesn’t really remember anything from before I was 4, and the bedding was what I had when I was really young, before I even started school. And Mary came in my room at the end.
Emily POV I quickly picked up my discarded shirt from the night before and slipped it on before going into the bathroom. Easton went to the kitchen, and when I walked in he already had a coffee waiting for me. I gave him a quizzical look. “How do you know how I like my coffee?” Easton smirked and answered, “I saw you make it yesterday morning.” I was a bit shocked because I hadn’t realized he was even paying attention when I made it. “Hmm. Well now I feel bad that I don’t know how you like yours.” I playfully pouted. “Mm, I like mine the same as my Luna.” He replied before he leaned over the counter to give me a chaste kiss. “So, tall and sweet?” I deadpanned. “And strong.” He grinned. I laughed at his answer while Kyra purred in the back of my head. ‘You sure purr like a kitten a whole lot considering you’re a wolf.’ I quipped at her. She ignored my remark, but I could feel her grinning in my mind. “So, Alpha. What’s for breakfast? Sausage or……” I asked, not
Easton POV I knew it was Ryan at the door. Emily laughed as she scurried off to the bathroom. At least he knocked instead of just entering the apartment, which reminded me that I needed to set up codes for Emily and Hannah today. ‘You can come in now.’ I linked Ryan. The whirring of the lock sounded and Ryan peered his head in when he opened it. “You’re dressed, right?” He asked before walking into the living room. “Why, you don’t want to see me naked first thing in the morning?” I asked as I walked out to the living room. “He might, but I’d rather not.” Hannah laughed out. “Yeah from the smell in here I’d say it’s a good thing you told me to wait.” Ryan said to Hannah as he looked at me. “Why are you here so early in the morning, Ryan?” I questioned. He shrugged as he answered, “Dude. I texted you. We’re going to train this morning before going to the office.” I rolled my eyes as I went back to the kitchen to clean up after breakfast. Ryan and Hannah followed
Emily POV I surprised myself a little when I managed to successfully pin Easton. I knew I was a strong fighter, but I’d never actually gone against an Alpha. When Hannah and Ryan had finished teasing Easton, I stood up from the mat. None of us had brought water, and I really needed some after that match. “I need a drink after that.” I mentioned. “Luna, it’s still morning! At least wait until lunch.” Ryan playfully scolded. I scoffed and replied, “You can’t drink all day if you don’t start early.” Easton busted out laughing and stood up beside me. “There’s a water cooler over by the locker rooms.” He said. I hadn’t even noticed the locker rooms when we came in. They were on the other side, slightly hidden from view by all the different workout equipment. We all four walked over to that side of the gym. The back half of the gym had all kinds of different workout machines and weight equipment. It would be great to do cardio and weight training in the pack house ins
I was so lost in thought I didn’t realize we had walked all the way to the Alpha floor. A shower would be great right now. “What are you thinking about?” Easton asked with a small smirk. “A shower.” I replied as I opened the apartment door. I heard Easton mumble under his breath while I walked towards the bathroom. I turned the shower on and stripped out of my clothes while waiting for the water to warm up. I stood admiring the enormous bathroom. I’d been in here plenty of times already, but never truly looked at it until now. It was very modern, and the separate bathtub had to be big enough for four people. The toilet was on the other side of a half wall, and the walls were painted a light smoky grey. I was torn from my admiration when two large arms wrapped around my waist from behind. “You sure are looking hard at the bathtub for someone that was thinking about a shower.” Easton whispered. I turned my head to look at him and smirked, “I was just waiting on you.
Emily POV I heard Easton turn the shower off as I walked into the closet. Kyra was pouting at me for not doing more in the shower. I don’t really know what I want at this point, though. It would be easier to travel and find the Fae Kingdom and get answers before being responsible for a child. I put on my undergarments and stood in the closet trying to decide what to wear for my first official working day. Easton walked in just as I decided to wear smart casual attire rather than business casual. “You still trying to tease me, baby girl?” He asked with a wink. “I’m sure I will later.” I laughed. “What are you wearing today?” I added. “A business suit, of course.” He replied. I peered at him for a moment and caught a mischievous glint in his eyes. So he’s teasing me now. “Hmm. Maybe I’ll wear one of your suits, too.” I smirked. “I’d let you.” He grinned back. I took my clothes off the hanger and started getting dressed while Easton did the same. “So, what are YOU
Emily POV Easton set up my access code and we decided to let Ryan set up Hannah’s so she could choose it herself. The lead doctor was already expecting a call to schedule Hannah and me for new member examinations, so she told Easton we could go to her office at 10:00 am. She said he should expect two emails within the next fifteen minutes for Hannah and me to complete our medical history before the appointment. “Well, she seems very efficient.” I commented when Easton hung up the phone. “She is that. I think she’s everyone’s favorite doctor in the pack too.” He chuckled before adding, “She can scare kids straight with just one look though.” I laughed as he shuddered at what I could only imagine was a memory of the doctor. “What did you do to earn one of those looks from a doctor?” I asked with a raised eyebrow. “I’m sure you’ll hear about it when we get there later.” He grinned. I playfully rolled my eyes and walked around to see his computer. “Let’s see this ca
Emily POV After declaring I was confident that the doctor would be able to remain professional, I quickly tried changing the subject. I needed to calm my anxiety and distract myself. “So, what did you want to do today?” I asked Callie. “Oh, just a little shopping, and show you some of the inner workings of the pack.” She remarked. “There’s a laptop already set up in your office for you. I’ve already had you added to our server, but you can add yourself as a second user to have access to your current Outlook email or we can merge it with the new one so your contacts transfer and any emails get automatically forwarded. It’s up to you.” Easton explained. “I’ll probably just merge them. It’ll make it easier.” I admitted. “Do you want me to have someone do that for you?” Easton asked as he handed me a slip of paper. “No. I got it.” I answered with a smile. I glanced at the paper and saw it was my username and password. “Well, I’ll go to my office and get started on that.
