LOGINBianca's Point of View I wake to the sound of Ethan babbling through the baby monitor and smile sleepily as I sit up in bed. "Well, I guess that's my cue to start the day." I murmur to myself before slipping out of bed and making my way to the bathroom. I quickly begin my morning routine and after getting dressed, I walk across the hallway and quietly push open Ethan's nursery door. The moment he sees me, his entire face lights up. He throws both little hands into the air and lets out an excited squeal and I laugh. "There he is! My happy little boy." I lift him out of his cot and kiss his forehead. "Did you sleep well?" I ask. He answers with another happy babble before grabbing a handful of my hair, and yanking it. "Ouch. I'll take that as a yes." I laugh, untangling my hair from his grip. A few minutes later, after changing his diaper and getting him dressed, I carry him into the kitchen. Scott is already there. He has a mug of coffee in one hand and is reading over
Scott's Point of ViewDinner with the pack ends later than I expect.Between Marcus telling another ridiculous story from training, Emma teasing me about Ethan's little surprise this morning, and Aiden insisting that he should be promoted to "Junior Alpha," there is barely a quiet moment the entire evening.By the time Bianca, Ethan and I finally make our way back to the apartment, the little guy is rubbing his eyes."Someone is tired."Bianca says softly, smiling down at him.Ethan answers with a tiny yawn before resting his head against her shoulder.I chuckle."I think bath time and bed sound like a good idea."I say and she nods her head."They do."She agrees.The moment we step inside the apartment, Bianca disappears down the hallway with Ethan."I'll get him cleaned up."She calls over her shoulder."I'll be there in a minute."I answer.I tidy up the few things we brought home before making my way toward Ethan's nursery.The bathroom door is open.I stop in the doorway without
Bianca's Point of ViewFor a few minutes after Emma leaves the library, I stay exactly where I am.I glance down at Ethan, who is happily chewing on his little fox teether while kicking his legs."Well..."I murmur."What do you think?"He looks up at me with a huge smile before letting out an excited squeal.I can't help smiling back."You want to go see Daddy?"Another squeal.I laugh softly."I'll take that as a yes."I carefully lift him into my arms before gathering his diaper bag and the blanket lying beside us.As I make my way through the packhouse, I can't help feeling nervous.I don't know why.I'm just going to watch Scott teach the children.It's not like I'm interrupting a meeting or anything important.Still...My stomach flutters the closer I get to the training grounds.Soon, I hear it.Laughter.Children shouting.Someone blowing a whistle.The sounds drift across the open field, and before I even step through the gate, I can already hear Scott's voice."Again!"He ca
Bianca's Point of ViewThe Luna library has quickly become one of my favorite places in the packhouse.It is always quiet.Peaceful.The large windows let the afternoon sunlight stream inside, warming the wooden floors, while shelves lined with books surround the room. There are comfortable couches tucked into the corners, but today Ethan and I have claimed the soft rug in front of the fireplace.Ethan is lying on his stomach, happily kicking his little legs while chewing on one of his woodland-themed teething toys.I smile as he lets out another happy squeal."You really like that one, don't you?"I ask softly.He looks up at me with his bright blue eyes before smiling around the toy.My heart melts."You are just the sweetest little boy."I murmur, brushing a hand over his soft hair."You know that?"He babbles something that sounds incredibly important before reaching both hands toward me.I laugh quietly."Oh? Really?"He grins even wider."I'll take that as a yes."I lean forward
Scott's Point of ViewThe morning sun is already climbing above the trees by the time Mark finally calls an end to training.I pull the towel from around my neck and wipe the sweat from my face before draping it back over my shoulders.All around us, warriors begin collecting their water bottles and chatting as they head off the field.Istretch my arms above my head before letting out a long breath."That felt good."I say with a satisfied smile and Sienna nods her head."It did. I needed it."She says. I glance over at her and chuckle.“Yeah... I could tell...”I say teasingly and she narrow her eyes at me.“Are you saying that I looked stressed?”She asks and I shrug. “I’m saying you looked like you wanted to punch something… and luckily, I was there.”I say and she laughs, nudging me lightly with her shoulder."Fair enough... I probably did."She admits."It has just been one of those weeks."I nod in understanding."I get that."For a few moments we walk in comfortable silence to
Scott's Point of ViewBy the time I make it to the training grounds, my hair is still damp from my second shower of the morning.I shake my head to myself.Only Ethan could manage to cover almost my entire shirt in vomit five minutes before I had to leave.I spot Sienna already stretching near the track.The moment she notices me, she smiles."Morning."I jog over to her."Morning."I let out a breath, rubbing the back of my neck."Sorry I'm late."She waves it off."It's fine."She studies me for a second."Late start?"I can't help but laugh."Sort of."I shake my head."I was basically out the door before Ethan threw up all over me."She immediately laughs."Oh..."She grins."The joys of parenthood."I chuckle."Yeah.""I wasn't expecting my morning shower to happen twice."She laughs again before nodding toward the track."Want to jog with me for warm-up or are you good?"I smile."No.""I'll come with you."We start jogging side by side around the track.For a while, neither of
Bianca’s Point of View I wake up with a jolt, sitting upright in bed, my breath coming out in short, uneven bursts. “God…” My hand presses against my chest as I try to calm myself down, the panic from the nightmare still clinging to me. For a few seconds, I just sit there, blinking rapidly, try
Bianca’s Point of ViewThe garden is quiet and I slowly sit down on the stone bench. My fingers trace the edges of my phone as I stare blankly at the flowers in front of me. The air is warm, peaceful… but it doesn’t touch the storm sitting heavily in my chest.Things have been tense.No, worse tha
Scott’s Point of View“Where are we going?” she asks after a while, glancing over at me.I shrug, keeping my eyes on the road, a smirk tugging at my lips. “You’ll see.”She narrows her eyes at me, clearly unimpressed. “So this is the part where you kill me somewhere in the forest, huh?”I laugh. “W
Scott’s Point of View I have been contemplating doing this all night, and I just decided, why not do it? Why not ask her out? What do I have to lose? So, here I am, quickly making my way to Sienna’s house. As I near the house I hear music coming from it, and I can't help but smile. I step up t
