A slight movement causes me to stir, and I open my eyes to two gorgeous green orbs looking up at me. “Good morning.” She whispered, her voice was still a little strained.
I leaned forward and kissed her forehead gently. “Here.” I muttered, handing her the water bottle beside the bed. After a second, I pass her the medicine that Doc left for her. “Better?”
She nodded slightly. “Yeah, but I still feel sore and stiff everywhere.”
Slowly I get out of bed and stretch. “Yeah, I know. It happened to me too, Doc said it's because you haven’t used your joints and muscles for so long. He said walking and exercises will help.”
She groaned and reached for me. “No... why you getting up??? I wanna cuddle some more...” She pouted with large gr
“Wait right here.” I smile as I sit my mate on the couch. “I’m going to run you a nice hot bubble bath. Where do you keep the bubbles?”“Oh,it'sin the cabinet. Youdon’thave to though if youdon’twant to. I can take another shower.”“Nonsense, I’m going to baby my baby.” I smirk as I lean down to her to kiss her but stop suddenly. “What’s wrong?”“Don’t call me that. Please.” She sighed and averted her gaze. Oh yeah... that was her mom’s pet name for her. I frowned but still leaned in and kissed the top of her head.“Sorry, I’ll be right back.” I whispered and set about getting the bath ready. Soon the bubbles arehuge,and the water is perfect. Smiling I go back to the room. “Rea
“A little to the left.”“Here?”“No, that’s too far to the left... hmm... you know what... I don’t like it there.” Jess sighed.“Seriously?” Greg growled from the top of the ladder, trying to tie up the finishing touches on the surprise party we are throwing Liza. Poor Tim, he came by yesterday... a day early. Liza was born on leap day, February 29thbut her parents always celebrated on the 28th. Too bad the Moon Goddess doesn’t accept early birthdays so here we are on March 1st... Penny is keeping her super busy today along with Nick, she was among the guards taking them to the nearby museum.Tim keeps pacing back and forth, from one side of the room to the other. He ended up packing a bag this time, in case something else went wrong. Damn you would think the kid was getting married today
It seems like weblinked,and March was here! I was counting the days now...10 days, 12 hours, 44 minutes...Saying I was excited was an understatement. As I left the dentist’soffice,I glanced up to see my matehurryingtowards me beaming. “Hey Love,” I kissed her quickly. “How was your appointment with Doc?”“Good! He wants you though, to get some more blood.” She grabbed my hand and we started to walk down the path. “It'samazing though, I still can’t wrap my head around it! For you to be immune to wolfsbane and not know it?”“Well, it's like my parents said, we were never exposed to it. The flowerdoesn’tgrow around here and getting it to use fortorturewas too much work when we were able to get silver. And when I got you those wolfsbane tools I was extr
“Penny get your sleeping bag and everything else you need, okay?” Samantha urged as she unlocked the Gamma suite. “I need to grab a few things for your parents and Judson but if you need any help let me know, okay?”“Yes ma’am!” She chirped as she ran into her room withNickbehind her.I watched Samantha open their closet and pull out three suitcases and a diaper bag. “Thank the Goddess they went ahead and packed some bags, but what the hell! Why so much???”Ijust shrugged,I didn’t understand it either. “Is the baby’s room finished?”“Yeah, they finished it last week.” I smiled as I peeked into the baby’s room, it was decorated in soft pastel yellows and greens. “Hey Love, what did we get them for the baby?”
“So,the werewolf world has three branches of government?” Nick asked as I sat with him while he worked on his homework. Samantha and the girls were out at the human town getting thefinishing toucheson their dresses for our ceremony.“Alright andtell me what they are.” I urged.“The Royal Family, they lead us and enact policy. The Council, they create laws and keep the packs from destroying each other. And the Judges, they ensure we are following the Goddess’ Will and they act as a balance between the Royal Family and the Council to prevent corruption.” He answered, looking through his notes. “I have to write an essay on each of them by the end of the week.” He muttered, as I got another notebook for him.Behind us we heard Judson start to cry and I smirked as Greg groaned slightly. “When is your mama co
It wasvery latewhen we got back home, the last game wasover,and Nick was already in bed sleeping peacefully when we checked on him. I smiled and looked on our coffee table to a stack of papers and a note from Nick and Violet.He finished his last essay and I looked over two of them. I pointed out his misspellings and he will fix them tomorrow. The last oneI’llleave to you... by the way. UNC won. ~VioletLike there was any doubt UNC would lose! We whooped them!I chuckled to myself and looked to the essay they left for me. Behind me my mate was taking her hair ribbons out of her hair and taking off her jewelry. “Damn, I really hate hairspray...” Shemutteredand I smiled as I put the paper down and walked over to her. With her heels on she was just as tall if not slightly taller than me and I wrapped my
The Council of Thirteen is made up of 13 of our post powerful and influential leaders. Each one is only addressed as their seat and theirseat is also their rank. For example, Number 4 is stronger than Number 9 but not as strong as Number 2. The seat of Number 1 is held by the leader of the council and is only allowed to vote on adisbutein case of a tie. Also, they haveemployvarious packs to help withtheirinvestagationsand uprisings known as the Cabinet. There are thirteen of them broken into 3 groups. 6 Inquisitors, those tasked with investigating and weeding out criminals. 6 Enforcers who are tasked withassistantingthe Inquisitors with arrests and stronger packs. Andfinally,the strongest of this group, only referred to as Number 1. This group is only brought in with the hardest and most influential cases and criminals. They have fullrieghnand authority of the council. Like the council no one kno
Did we leave the window open? I think to myself as acool breeze dancesacross my face. Beside me my mate snuggles closer to me, shivering slightly. I turn and close my eyes tighter as I bury my nose in her hair, drowning out any other smells around us.Is the TV on? What is that slight whispering I hear?Suddenly my mate is ripped from myside,and I shoot awake just in time to get pinned on the bed. Growling I kick behind me and jerk my arm free only for a stronger pair of arms to pin me further. I kick again and feel contact with my foot.“Damnit!”Wait that was? I glare around me and see Samantha slung over Holly’s shoulder while Greg holds me down. Daren is holding his side where I kicked him. “What the hell?!”“I told you this was a bad idea.” Jess
