A sudden cold breeze had Mj lazily drifting out of the land of sleep, “cold” she mumbled and blindly felt around for something to cover herself with, as she grabbed a handful of nice warm blanket it was yanked from her hand, “up you get sunshine.” Mj grumbled when Dante’s voice rang through the room like a cheerful Christmas song during Halloween, she rolled over so her back was to him. Dante chuckled maliciously and climbed into the bed with her, he wrapped his arm around Mj’s waist and tucked himself around her body. She simply hummed “so warm” and snuggled into him, Dante leaned into her ear “rise and shine beautiful lady, the day is waiting and so am I.” Dante rolled out of the bed and swung his hand back a
Mj could feel Theron trying to console her wounded pride and she tried to be grateful, but she really just wanted to be in her emotions at the moment and was pleasantly surprised when the wolf backed off into her subconscious and she sighed in relief, as she approached Dante he was looking down at her with his arms crossed. “I’m sorry” she almost whispered and Dante reached forward and handed her a hair tie. “I’m not... you have spent this entire morning without your security blanket wrapped around your head, I'm proud of you...and I can’t wait to see you in a gold dress.” Mj blushed and snatched the hair tie from Dante before she thrust her hair into a messy bun at the base of her skull.Mj turned when Moxie and Jay came rushing up to her, “nice job Em, a few more sparring matches like that and you could give the comman
Mj made her way down to the entrance and her stomach did a few uneasy flips as Lila and Sam’s smiling faces met her in front of a large black SUV. “Hay there she is,” Sam chirped and Mj smiled. “Ok” Lila said checking her watch, “we are just waiting for Mara and then we have to make a quick stop by my place before we get this party started,” Mj nodded and climbed into the backseat of the SUV. She watched as Sam and Lila continued with their animated conversation, Mj could hear the humming of their voices but could not make out the actual words they were speaking. As she sat silently and observed the two women she thought about how much her and Beth used to talk and laugh like that. Suddenly the knot in Mj’s stomach returned as she started to recall her earlier interaction with Beth
The sun was setting by the time the door to the dress shop burst open again and the now rowdy group of chipping and chatting wolves were as animated as a theatrical group after a final performance and as the two larger males came up the rear Moxie deviously reached out and snatched the very intricately wrapped dress Mj was holding out of her hands, “Mox you shit...give it back” Mj laughed and Moxie held the garment up to himself and began to twirl, “I want to be the prettiest puppy under the full moon,” he sang with a higher pitch to his voice and Mj laughed as she shook her head. “Tell you what Mox we can trade...I will take the awful suit Jay says you always wear and you can wear my dress...better yet let’s trade dates, Jay looks like he would have more fun with me anyway.” Although the core of the group laughed, Mj noticed that Moxie’s mood had changed and Jay se
After finishing a mostly uneventful meal Dante whisked Mj away toward what looked like an almost abandoned part of the pack house, “is this the part of the story where you bring me to a secluded area to kill me because I know too much?” she asked and Dante laughed with such innocent joy the sound seemed to infect Mj’s entire body. Dante wrapped his arms around her and pulled her from her feet as their laughter bounced off the walls of the empty corridor. Mj slung her arms lazily around Dante’s neck and let her head fall back with laughter as he spun her around like they were dancing.“Can you dance little kitten?” Dante asked and Mj bit her lip as she tried to hide a blush, “I have never danced with anyone before,” she admitted and Dante stopped twirling to set her feet on the floor. “I want to kill whoever made y
Mj had finished helping Lou and Matt clean up after a chaotic day, the full moon fire meant more people than usual eating with the pack so the meat order had more than tripled. Matt had already excused himself and Mj was watching Lou try to busy himself waiting for her to leave. “Go Lou,” Mj groaned playfully and the sound of the butcher’s stomach cried out, “I can hear how hungry you are and I know everyone else is already down in the hall...just go I will be fine.” Mj hopped up on one of the stainless steel countertops and laid down on her back with her ankles and hands crossed.Lou chuckled “why don't you just come to dinner with me Moll...i’m sure your assassin will be there soon, he is head of an entire patrol unit right now so he is probably just busy.”
As Mj’s eyes began to flutter open she stretched her arms out in search of her warm companion only to find herself alone in bed so she reached for Dante’s pillow, it was still somewhat warm and she snuggled her face deep into the fabric and fluff to soak up as much of his scent as she could. After a few more lazy moments of dozing in and out of peaceful dreamless sleep the slight familiar tickle of Dante’s presence began to play at her toes and Mj grinned as she pulled the thin sheet over her still naked body and buried her head in his pillow. As the door began to squeak open Mj squeezed her eyes shut and forced her breathing to steady.Dante tried his hardest not to make any sound as he entered the room he now shared with a beautiful woman, the door made very little noise and as he approached the bed he saw the faintest twitch at the c
The inside of the suite looked like the disney princess version of an old western showdown with four half dressed she wolves on one side of the room and Mj holding Beth out in front of her on the other side, Lila had her hair set in wide curlers all over the top of her head and a large round hair brush in the other, pointing it in Mj’s direction, “Sam if I charge the front you can flank around the side and grab her.” Brie stood next to her mother giggling into her hands while Mara had her arms wrapped around her own torso cackling loudly, “Moll I wish you could see your face...this is the best birthday present you have ever had.” Mj scowled at her friend from over the top of Beth’s shoulder and stuck her tongue out like a small child throwing a tantrum. “My hair is fine Lila...really,” Mj tried to plead and Lila simply shook her head, “not even cl
Mj stood in front of the mirror for what seemed like an eternity, she had not noticed the continued bustling around her until the door opened again and a brush of cold air along with Lila’s tender touch brought her back to the room, “are you alright Mj?” Briella asked as Lila stood holding on to her elbow and looking at her like she expected an answer to a question Mj never heard. “Yea sorry...I’m just,” Briella cut her off “you are just so nervous I know...you could blot out the sun.” Lila rubbed Mj’s elbows soothingly and began to purr, “are you really that terrified of wearing a dress Mj...or is it the people?” Mj looked Lila in the eye and began to tremble, “I don't want him to see me like this,” she almost whispered and Lila squeezed her eyebrows together “who...Ace, the commander wont tease you and if he does then I will put him on bathroom clean up tonight
