I stared at him for a while before slipping from bed. The room was cleaned, scrubbing the stains he had left behind. I then went to the bathroom to clean the floor and the shower.
I took a shower after, quickly moving to get dressed in something simple.
I ran down the stairs so fast, going straight to the kitchen.
“ Luna.” They greeted as I pushed the door open. Their eyes were wide and I knew they knew the king came back. I don’t know how but their hopeful eyes said it all.
“ Good morning, I hope you are all fine. The priority today is making as much biscuits as we can, ones that can last long without being spoilt. I will run to town to buy bags that could be used to carry them.” I said, already turning around, the door closing behind me. If things were bad I knew the king had little to no time in the pack. He would go back fast. I ran to town, not even taking an escort
I let the sun sink, sitting at the edge of the bed just staring at him. The voice in my head had screamed so many times to pull him from the trap but him still being asleep meant that he was not healed to his fullest. One more second I would say.He would leave by the night, I knew that, but the most important thing was that he left fully rested and healed so he could have the strength to run then fight to the best of his capabilities. I was fighting with myself but my darkness was stubborn and I was stubborn. Anything that he had wanted to do in the pack, I would do it for him, until then, he would rest.My hands ran all over his skin.The sinking sun sent its violet orange rays on his exposed body, kissing his golden skin and making it glow as if he was an angel. The scars were all over, even in the oddest places yet he looked like a God even with them. He looked so peaceful, my finger slipping through his bones which
“ How is the pack?” He suddenly asked, seeing the stress drop back on his shoulders which had me go deep with my massage.“ The pack is functioning well, nothing to worry about. I did all the paperwork and finished it…” My words fell away from his eyes shooting open.“ Your paper work?” He asked as I blushed, biting my lip.“ No, all of it my king.” I said back, seeing that he was not believing and I understood. The paperwork had been a lot, too much.He shook his head, shaking the shock away.“ We built a house for all the children who had no parents in the pack, its just behind the castle, surrounded by many houses for safety. The bill was totaled to ten golden coins. I did not know how our finances were standing but most of the pack members donated their children’s sheets. The shops also contributed
We sat at the center of the tub, in each others arms with our heads on the others shoulder for what seemed like forever. Peace had fell over us. I did not over think it, I did not know where his head was at but hoped he was at peace for just that moment.I could hold him in my arms all night long but I knew he was hungry and the pack also had to see him. I could not just keep him to myself with the little time he had. I drew back from his arms and got out of the tub to dry my skin while he stepped out to the shower to finish off then joined me in the closet. I don’t know why but I had already picked his clothes for him, well, I was trying to be time efficient.He just stared at me when he saw this with a face I could not decipher, passing a thanks as my insides melted with me in a puddle. I wore black sweat pants with a hooded jacket. It was getting cold, winter digging its teeth into our land. The werewolves could not careless, made little to no difference to them while I would be fr
The dinner took another hour before Conri stood up. I followed suit because I was suddenly his side kick. We went out of the dinning room to the elevator.“ If I can just see all the work you have done, not that I don’t trust you but just to see.” He said with me smiling and nodding my head.“No problem my king, I am happy to show you, maybe I made a few mistakes here and there, it’s good to get feedback.” I said with him nodding his head, happy with my reply. We went to his office which luckily I had left tidy. I pulled out all the files and was shocked when I was done, finding him still standing next to his chair. It made it all awkward, why wasn’t he taking a seat?I stood there with the files, eyes wide.“ You can take a seat Raven.” He suddenly said with a chuckle and I could not help but jump into action. I could not process when he was that nice, I could not process when he spilled out my name like that. It sounded so deliciously foreign from him and it was as if he was teasin
Pack members lay on the floor, on hospital beds, every where. In my arms was Rosemary, her cute little snore pouring from her. My eyes moved over to the young mother who had cried herself to sleep even with the baby in her arms. She had slept while breast feeding, some ladies in the pack taking the baby away to the glass baby bed which stood next to the bed. It had been so saddening to watch her ask for her mate, beg for her mate but he was not there. She had cried so hard, losing even the strength to push, especially because it was painful on its own that her mate was putting distance between them while making way to the war zone.After it all, they had done surgery on her to get the baby out. The doctor had never done it before but in the situation, there had been no other option.A shiver ran down my body just thinking about it.Another shiver ran through. The hospital seemed to be so cold especially at the wee hours of morning thus I could not stay there for long. My eyes moved ov
My head snapped up, sure Vex was a bit far. I took off running, not fast, I would give him the win. My smile grew, running through until I saw his lazy ass at the border. He had reached it first, shifted back and had pulled back his clothes.“ Its not fun when you let me win.” He said with me laughing out loud.“ What do you want from me Vex.” I cried out, throwing my hands in the air dramatically as we walked into no man’s land. It was just a small piece between the two packs.Just a few miles of walking we saw Sunfire. He was on border patrol. We greeted him and went further in the pack. As always, Stern greeted us with the two other pack leaders. He never missed an opportunity to have me do some work for him, it had me giggle. I went with him to the office, doing a bit of file work, but it was not a lot before he went with us to the alpha’s house which seemed dark and cold.Any little happiness I had felt just evaporated there and then. The house seemed to suck it out of me. The g
We reached the pack way past dinner but luckily for Vex, the ladies were still in the kitchen washing dishes thus they did not mind fixing him something or he would have slept on water. Just thinking about it happening nearly had me laugh. I shook my head, waving at the ladies as they waved at me. I watched them all walk out of the castle, leaving it lonely and cold. My feet carried me to the flying machine which took me upstairs. I stripped naked, soaking myself in the tub that the king and I had held each other in. I would never forget the day, the memory being one of my greatest treasures. I relaxed until the water turned cold so I slipped out. I cleaned the bathroom then oiled my skin in the closet. I pulled on long knee high socks, some sweat shorts and a sweater. The king said I was not ready so I had to be the next time he came. I knew my battle was internal so I did not know what I had to do to grow up mentally, to grow enough for the war that was heavy on us. I sat on the fl
It was an hour later when the pack arrived, Vex first then other warriors. I had healed the other six men with them unconscious but they would be okay. My head kept shaking, thinking over the last memories I had of Mr Tendril. I thought of what would be said to Rosemary, just like that, she had no one.The ten warriors of the pack carried the unconscious men to the pack hospital then came back to all carry Mr Tendril who was so cold there was no way he would come back to us. I had hope, hoping what had happened to Brum would happen to him but he stayed just like that. The silence was taken over by cries, everyone in grief because their hope had been shuttered. It was painful to lose a pack member especially with everything he had went through, especially with the beautiful daughter he left behind.The ladies just thought of their own relatives. Seeing how critical it was getting, everyone lost the little hope they had, just praying their mates or sons were alive. I swallowed, better m
