Hunter-
To say I wasn’t charmed by her reaction would be a lie. Kyra covered her lips with her hand and her eyes went wide as if she just understood the full extent of that kiss. She was so innocent, that I was loving every minute of the blush that deepened on her cheeks. Even her neck was turning a soft pink, she looked radiant.
She took a couple of steps back and became flustered. After clearing her throat, she moved her hand from her lips, and I had to hold myself back from taking her back in my arms and kissing her until she begged me to stop. Kyra looked around as if she was trying to find something and when her gaze fell on the crockpot, she seemed to relax.
“Oh, food. You need food.” She said, still slightly flustered.
“Yes. I could undeniably eat something.” I told her, grinning as I thought of something else, I needed.
“I made you chili.” Kyra informed me as she sat down next to the basket and pot that were placed in the middle of the
Kyra- Trying to swim as fast as I could away from Hunter, who was chasing me, I started giggling. I have missed being able to spend time with him and just let ourselves enjoy each other. I wished I didn’t have the issues I had, but I knew that in time I would be able to overcome them. I wasn’t giving up. I just needed to find a way to deal with the things, because I was sure that it wasn’t the last time. “I am going to catch you.” I heard Hunter say, his voice sounding slightly deep and more gravely than normal, so I knew that he had let Ace join in. “You think you are fast enough?” I yelled back at him as I continued to swim away. The benefit of living outdoors most of my life, I had spent a great deal of swimming. It helped me to dilute my scent, plus it had been a great way to cool off during some hot summers. Not to mention that I had to be able to get away from a lot of rogues and pack members that would try to attack. I had used rivers and lakes
Hunter- Listening to Kyra’s breathing, and the way it became deeper and shallower, I knew she fell asleep. I knew that I probably needed to wake her up, so at least when she has her episodes, she would be inside and safe. Yet I just couldn’t bring myself to wake her. Not only because she needed to rest, but because I was finally able to hold her. I have craved this more than I craved claiming her. Just being here with her was all I really needed at this moment. Eventually, the time would come for me to claim her, but for now, I’ll take this. I continued listening to her breathing, the arm she laid on started to tingle. I didn’t dare try to move it, it can fall asleep all it wants. Waking her just because my arm was going to sleep, just wasn’t an option. I will deal with whatever outburst her dreams bring, I just wanted one night to be able to hold her while she slept. Even if only for a short time. I felt myself drifting off to sleep and I tightened my hold o
Kyra- “I will always be watching over you, my Child.” Selene spoke, her voice like a melody being carried by the gentle breeze. To say I was at a loss for words was an understatement. Selene, the Moon Goddess, my mother, was standing right in front of us. Looking over at Hunter, his expression revealed that he was seeing the same thing I was. His mouth was wide open, and incredulity was written all over his face. Focusing my attention back on my mother, hm, that’s a little strange. I still couldn’t get over that my mother was the Moon Goddess. She was perhaps translucent, but here, nonetheless. Selene didn’t say anything else, just smiled at me. I wondered if she was giving me time to grasp reality, either that or I was still just dreaming. “Are you,” I cleared my throat, which had suddenly become dry. “Are you really here?” I asked her, still not sure what I was seeing. “In spirit I am Child.” She confirmed. I quickly stood up and wen
Hunter- I held Kyra as she cried until the sun came up. My body was stiff from sitting in the same position. Her sobs became less frequent, but I could feel her pain as if it were my own. Desperately, I wished there was something I could do for her. Moving her away, so I can stand, I stretched my aching body to relieve some of the tension. Bending over, I picked her up and cradled her to my chest. I couldn’t just let her sit out here the rest of the day, so I carried her back to the house. When we arrived, everyone that was living at the packhouse was waiting in the foyer, concern etched on their faces. Kyra still wasn’t ready, and I wasn’t going to let her be bombarded with a slew of questions. Shaking my head at them, I motioned for them all to disperse while I carried Kyra up to our room. I didn’t want to leave her, so I linked Caleb to take over for me today, so I could just be there for Kyra. I didn’t have to convince him, he had already taken charge and
Kyra- “This doesn’t make a lick of sense.” Brett groan, after having heard the prophecy. “Maybe not. Perhaps we aren’t looking at it in the way we need to.” Caleb stated, taking the paper off the desk. “Alright mister wise guy. You figure it out then.” Brett groaned. “Well, maybe I will.” Caleb remarked. “Then do it then. We are all waiting.” Brett retorted, rolling his eyes at Caleb. “Just give me a minute asshat.” Caleb jabbed at Brett, flipping him off, before looking back at the prophecy. I looked at the two and shook my head. They were bickering back and forth like grumpy old men. I swear it was like they couldn’t be in the same room together. Ever since Caleb was bound to my life force, it was as if Brett and Caleb were in competition with each other. Constantly vying for my attention. It was aggravating to put it lightly. “Knock it off you two. We all are here for the same goal. If you don’t want to be here, then
Kyra- “Chester, I would like you to meet Kyra. Kyra, this is my second chance mate, Chester.” Lucy beamed. “Hello, it is nice to meet you.” I spoke, offering my hand for him to shake. I stood there for what felt like a long time before I dropped my hand. He just stood there, gawking at me. I looked down at my clothes and wondered if he was surprised at what I was wearing. It wasn’t like I had planned to be around a bunch of people, heck I hadn’t even planned to leave the house. “Chester don’t be rude. Where are your manners? I know damn well your mother taught you better than that.” Lucy chided. I smiled at her, having missed her even more than I thought. I had always found amusement in the way she would tell it like it was, no care to who she was talking to. I admired her for it. I was just about to tell Lucy that it was okay, but he finally spoke, just not to me. “Honey, you didn’t tell me it was her you were talking about.” Chester
Kyra- It was a little off putting being around so many people, I don’t think I will ever truly get used to it. Yet I was having the time of my life. Gone were the thoughts of my troubles, as I was enjoying myself. It may take some time, but I was thinking that maybe pack life was agreeable. Standing next to Hunter as he discussed pack politics with his father, I tried to pay attention. It was all very confusing, and my head was hurting from information overload, but I found it fascinating. Who would have guessed that I was soon to be the Luna and standing beside an Alpha to lead a pack. I know I sure hadn’t. Then again there was a lot of things I hadn’t thought would ever happen to me. “I don’t see why you insist on seeing to everyone’s training, Hunter. That is the Gamma’s responsibility.” Hunter’s father was saying. “No, Nick’s job is to oversee the warriors. It is an Alpha’s duty to look out for the best interest of the pack. I don’t oversee the tr
Hunter- “Alpha, there is a man approaching the border.” Aiden linked me and I inwardly groaned. Was it really so hard to have one night where there wasn’t an issue? “I am on my way.” I linked back. Turning to Kyra, leaned in to press my lips to her cheeked. I really didn’t want to leave her, I know she was feeling overwhelmed with everything right now. She had just opened her twentieth present and there was still a pile of gifts on the table. I appreciated the effort the pack has made to make her feel welcomed, but I can see that she still needs time to adjust to everything. “I have to go check on something, do you want me to send over Brett or Caleb?” I whispered into her ear. “I think I will be okay, hurry back though, okay?” She whispered back. “I’ll be back before you know I am gone. If it gets to be too much for you, let Caleb know and he will send everyone home.” I spoke, a little louder so Caleb can overhear me, who was standing
