As soon as the meeting was done, I was ready for bed. I was totally exhausted. Luke followed me up the stairs to our bedroom. When we got there, I went into the bathroom to take a shower and brush my teeth. When I was done, I got in bed and snuggled into the soft blankets. When Luke finished his shower, he got in bed beside me and I snuggled closely to him. I was in a deep sleep before I even told him goodnight. I felt like I had slept forever when I woke to Luke holding a cup of coffee under my nose. I opened my eyes, and smiled at him, “You know me so well. Thank you.” He smiled, “Anything for my beautiful mate. I would do anything for you. You know that right?” I nodded and replied, “I do know that. I hope you know that I would do anything for you too. Right?” He smiled, “I do.” I asked, “What brought all this on, babe?” He responded, “If you don’t feel comfortable doing this event tomorrow, I would be willing to pack our stuff and go home tonight.” I chuckled, “You’re so sweet. I

Almost everyone in the audience raised their hands with excitement. Blaze continued, “We are building an indoor Winter Park! There will be an area for skiing and snow tubing, an area for snowball fights, an area that has an ice castle to play in and to build a snowman, and there will be a snack bar area where pizza and hot chocolate, along with other favorite snacks, can be found. What do you think of that?” Everyone applauded with way too much excitement. Blaze and Zendaya laughed as Zendaya added, “If there is something you would like us to think about adding, let us know now, so that we can have our engineers add it to the plans.” One child asked, “Will there be snowboarding too?” She smiled, “I’m sure that will be available too.” One parent asked, “Will it be affordable?” Zendaya replied, “We are looking into the pricing. We want to make it affordable for all. Even if that means having free sessions during the day on a couple days per week.” Everyone applauded while kids yelled in

Hugo gently raised his head and stretched his nose to meet my face. I gently held his head and kissed his nose, “My sweet Hugo. I love you so much. Are you okay?” Hugo nodded his head. A stray tear fell down my cheek and Hugo did something unusual. He lifted his nose and wiped my tear from my face. He snuggled his nose into my face and I smiled, “I wish you could speak, my boy. You’ve always been my best friend. You can’t leave me.” He sighed and put his head in my lap. I sighed, “I know you are preparing us with Bruno, but I’m not ready to lose you yet. I need you to stay and at least let my first child get to know you.” I put my hand on his head and could feel that he was in pain. I furrowed my brow and asked, “Where do you hurt?” He wiggled a little and I started rubbing my hands down his sides until I could feel him cringe a little. I asked, “Here?” He nodded slightly and I released my Omega powers full force. I could see him relax completely and my hands heated. On instinct, I rub

As she lunged for me, I noticed that she had a knife in her hand. Luckily, she is much older and slower than I am. When she tried to stab me, I grabbed her wrist and used it to twist her arm behind her back. I pressed on the pressure point on her wrist to make her let go of the knife and grabbed her other arm to do the same. As soon as I had her in this position the front door flew open with a loud BAM as it hit the wall. Luke ran into the house, followed by two warriors as well as Cody and Rachel. Luke ran to me while a warrior grabbed Opal. I smiled, “Well, we won’t have to bring in Opal tomorrow. That’s her.” Luke growled, “I heard. Are you okay?” I nodded, “Yeah. I’m fine. The bitch was slow as hell.” I picked the knife off the floor and touched the blade, “It’s not even silver! Fucking amateur.” Luke laughed and shook his head at me. Cody walked up to me, “Woman, you scared the shit out of Luke! I thought he was going to kill everyone in the restaurant.” I sighed, “I had my phone

I excused myself and stepped away from everyone for a moment and called my Uncle Nico. He answered on the first ring, “How is my sweet niece this morning?” I smiled, “I’m doing great Uncle Nico. I have a question for you.” He replied, “What’s up?” I asked, “I need to know if it’s okay to change Luke. I asked him to change me into a bear, but I need permission to change him into a wolf.” Nico asked, “Is he aware that he will have two spirit animals?” I replied, “He is aware. He feels like he wants the same animals I have.” Nico answered, “Then I see no problem with it. After he is changed, his wolf will need a pack. I can let him join mine, just like your wolf is part of my pack.” I nodded, “That would be great. Thanks Uncle Nico.” He asked, “When is he changing you?” I replied, “This afternoon. We have to go to the castle and interrogate a lady who walked in our house, last night, and attacked me with a knife this morning.” Uncle Nico yelled, “What?!” I laughed, “She was an amateur. It
