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.
Emily POV Hannah came in and sat in the chair beside Callie. I went to make a coffee. As promised, the coffee bar was fully stocked. I smiled and asked Callie and Hannah if they wanted a coffee. “Oh please!” Hannah gushed enthusiastically. Callie chuckled and replied, “That would be great! Let’s see what you got over there.” She came to look at the options while I started Hannah’s. I knew what she would want. “So, Hannah, we have to go see the lead doctor at ten. I was thinking after lunch we can go with Callie and let her show us around some more and do a little shopping.” I suggested. “The shopping part sounds great, but why the doctor?” Hannah frowned. “Just to start a file on us as new pack members. Also, I need birth control.” I shrugged. “Will you have to get a special kind because of the Fae half?” Hannah asked. “I think so. But that’s not
Emily POV The entire drive to the doctor was filled with Ryan and Luke joking. Easton was driving and I was in the passenger seat, so we just ignored them. I was staring out of the window absentmindedly. I was still trying to come to terms with the fact that my entire life until a few days ago had been a twisted web of lies. I had no idea where to really even start to try to unravel it. The books from the library had given me an idea of some basic Fae abilities I should have, but I had no idea how to use them. I also didn’t know where to begin with finding my mother’s name, much less her family or the Fae kingdom. It was beginning to seem daunting, and I was suddenly feeling that I didn’t want to put my life with Easton on hold to search for the answers. Sparks dancing across my hand pulled me out of my thoughts. ‘Everything ok?’ Easton mind linked. ‘Yeah. Everything’s great.’ I replied
