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
Emily POV Aunt Evelyn started walking us back out of her examination room to the room we entered when we first came through the hallway. I noticed a desk in the corner and a sitting area. “That’s my assistant’s desk. She’s off today.” She explained as she noticed us looking around. “Come through here. This leads to my private office, the lounge and some exam rooms.” She instructed as she led us through a door I hadn’t seen when we first arrived. We followed Aunt Evelyn to the lounge, and she looked like the cat that got the canary the entire time. We made it into the lounge and she greeted the rest of our crew with a beaming smile and warm hug. She paused as she pulled away from Easton. “Did you pick up the wrong body wash in the shower? It smells like women’s body wash.” She probed. She tried to maintain her confused expression, but I saw a playful glint in her eyes. I held my laugh in as shock passed over Easton’s face so quickly that I almost missed it. “Some
Easton POV “We break one thing fifteen years ago and Aunt Evelyn thinks we’re going to break something every time we come here.” Ryan huffed as we walked to the lounge. “Who is we? I had no part in that.” I replied with a raised eyebrow. “Oh please, you dared him.” Luke chortled. “I dared him to jump from the couch to the recliner. I didn’t dare him to break the brand new recliner.” I defended. I knew it wouldn’t take long for my aunt to finish up with Emily and Hannah, so I tried to relax while we waited, but it was difficult because I wanted to be close to my mate. Luke and Ryan were going back and forth about who had the better pranks growing up, and Callie just rolled her eyes at the two men behaving like teenaged boys. “This is why she thinks y’all are gonna break something. Y’all get super competitive at absolutely the most inconvenient times.” She stated. “We’re just having fun, babe.” Luke grinned back with a wink. At some point I noticed Luke, Callie and Rya
Easton POV Aunt Evelyn gave us all a hug, and when she was pulling away from me she asked, “Did you pick up the wrong body wash in the shower? It smells like women’s body wash.” I quickly masked my shock at her question. “Something like that.” I mumbled.Aunt Evelyn looked at Emily and the rest of the room erupted in laughter. I had a sudden feeling the secret conversation from earlier was about me smelling like Emily’s body wash. “Let me guess, you washed your Luna with your body wash so she pulled a fast one and washed you with hers?” Aunt Evelyn mused. “Well, if I have to smell like his body wash all day it was only fair. It’s not like I don’t already smell like him.” Emily chirped. Aunt Evelyn praised her. “Well, I can see you’ll be keeping him straight.” As she went to sit down she noted, “I’m glad to see nothing seems to be destroyed in here.” Emily sat beside me as Aunt Evelyn asked her and Hannah to tell her about themselves. I could feel Emily’s contentment as sh
Emily POV I was starting to feel irritated on the drive to the deli. I knew it was irrational because I couldn’t place what was irritating me. I figured it was just nerves over how she-wolves would treat me in public today. I didn’t expect Easton to pick up on it, but when he asked if I was good and Hannah said I was hangry I was floored. Just yesterday I told them I don’t get hangry. Kyra laughed in my mind. ‘You most definitely are.’ I admitted to Easton I might be a little hangry, through the mind link of course. He just answered that service was quick. ‘Good, because I’m starving.’ I thought to myself. I wasn’t sure what to expect going into the deli. Of course, I knew what the delis were like in my old pack, but I also knew they were completely different in other states. We walked in and I saw the deli was a mix between traditional delis and southern delis. It was quite busy, but looked to be running smoothly. We got in line to order, and the couple in front of
Emily POV The walk to the bank didn’t take very long, and Paisley was waiting for us. “I hope you didn’t rush your lunch to meet us here.” I told her as she led us to her office. “Of course not, Luna. Although I would have gladly done so if need be.” She boasted. “Well, I guess it’s a good thing it wasn’t necessary today.” I replied. True to our outing so far, all six of us went into Paisley’s office. Ryan and Luke stood so Hannah and Callie could sit in the two chairs not occupied by Easton and me. “So, what can I help y’all with today?” Paisley asked. “We just need to get debit cards for Emily and Hannah. I apologize for bringing the entire crew for this.” Easton informed her. “No apologies necessary, Alpha. We are all excited that you and Beta Ryan have found your mates.” Paisley chuckled. ‘Poor Easty. He must not like having to share his mate.’ Callie giggled in the mind link. I suppressed my laughter at her statement. ‘It’s probably because he didn’t get shower s
Emily POV “What’s your name?” I asked the employee. “Kacie.” She replied. “Well, Kacie. I’m not sure what your issue is, but it must be hard to be so rude to someone you’ve never even met. So, congratulations on your achievement. I know your parents must be so proud.” I smirked. Kacie’s eyes widened and I could hear a few customers whispering to each other. “Now, I don’t expect anyone to fall at my feet when I walk by, but I do expect to be treated with the basic respect or at the very least, with common courtesy, just like anyone else would expect when they wish to patronize an establishment, or to just simply EXIST.” I rebuked. “Now, will that be a problem for you?” I demanded. “I-I’m sorry. What can I get started for you?” Kacie whimpered. I mind linked Callie. ‘Is there another coffee shop nearby?’ ‘It’s on the other side of the shopping center, maybe a ten minute walk.’ I placed my order, and looked to Hannah and Callie for them to do the same. I then decided to ma
