I woke the next morning to the door of the suite being open and a voice calling out for me. I groaned and climbed out of the bed and went into the main room, nodding to the triplets who were standing there as I made my way into the kitchen for a glass of water. I was tired and a little grouchy but aware enough not to take it out on them. “What’s going on?” I asked through a yawn. “Sorry to wake you Luna, we just got back and the Alpha has asked us to help you get your things together for your ride back to your pack. He’s on his way and hoping to be here in time to say his goodbyes. The kitchen has prepared a special breakfast for you as well. We’re all sad to see you go.” Renley said as he ran a hand through his blonde hair. “I’m sad to leave, I do really like the pack, but I’m ready to go home. I miss my Gram and I need to be with my pack.” I admit with a small smile. “That’s fine, just abandon us Luna, that’s fine.” Ramsey said with a small playful grin. I looked at him in surp
“Ugh thank gods we’re home!” I groaned as I hopped out of the truck just as Echo came to a stop in front of the pack house. I stretched and groaned as the ache in my muscles protested the movements after being stationary for so long. “Thank gods is right. I desperately need a piss and to sleep. I’m heading home. Catch you later Kara.” Echo said as he grabbed his bag and headed to the house he shared with his brother and his mate. I waved him off before heading to the house and smiling at Gram as she came out of the house to give me a big squeeze, kissing my cheek and smoothing back my hair before leading me into the house.“You look tired my dear. Did you want something to eat before you go to bed?” Gram asked as she led me into the kitchen. I nodded and yawned as I sat on a stool at the island counter. “The truck is not a comfortable place to sleep. Echo was driving all the way through and didn’t stop unless for a bathroom break. I felt so bad I couldn’t help him by driving part of
I woke to the sensation of someone climbing into bed with me, their body warm and wrapping around me from behind, feather light kisses being placed on my neck. I stirred and looked over my shoulder, smiling sleepily as I saw Blaze in the dark. “Welcome home, Little Mouse. I missed you.” He whispered as he tightened his arms around me, pulling my back flush to his chest as he kissed my cheek. “I missed you too Blaze.” I sighed as I relaxed in his hold, his scent enveloping me and making me feel safe and relaxed. “I’m glad you’re still here.”“I’m the baby among my brothers. Therefore I do not have their responsibilities. Works in my favour seeing as I get to stay with you as long as I please.” He gloated before nipping the back of my shoulder. “Sneaky Blaze.” I teased as I turned in his arms so I could face him, kissing him softly, my eyes still closed as I nuzzled into his arms. “Tired?”“Mhm. It’s still night time. Not everyone is a night owl….dragon? Like you and Brodryn. I actu
“Hello, Alpha Einar? This is Alpha Kara Ravenfield, I’m returning your call now that I’m back home.” I said as I fiddled with my pen while I spoke to him. “Ah yes! Alpha Kara, it's nice to hear from you again. Your Beta informed me that you were staying with your mate. Did you have a good time?” He asked conversationally, the sounds of muffled shouts and laughter coming from the background. “I did have a good time yeah, it was interesting to see his pack and how much it differs from mine.” I admit with a small smile as I swivel my chair side to side. “But I’m happy to be home and back with my pack.”“It’s always the best feeling to come home to your own after a journey.” Einar admits with a soft chuckle. “That is the truth. So what do I owe the call in the first place?” I ask, the curiosity eating at me. “Well I had a thought after our first chat and I went back through all of our old records. I found correspondence between your first Alpha and his family here. It goes on through
I was unable to convince Echo and Ezra to day drink with me, they were being responsible and taking part in training. Ezra also threatened me not to include his mate Lindy in my plans. So that’s exactly what I did. Figured it would also be a good idea to get to know her better. So as soon as I finished returning all my phone calls and being a responsible Alpha, I invited Lindy and Ellis both to join me for lunch in my office. I hadn’t spent enough time with Lindy and Ellis seemed like she’d be someone I could get along with so it was a perfect idea. “Ok so I have to ask; what’s it like to have that many mates? Do you ever get overwhelmed and like you can’t spend enough time with them?” Ellis asked as she dipped some of her fries in cheese dip before eating them. “Hmm, yes and no. Overwhelmed just because I’m not used to it, but I wouldn’t change it. I do feel sad that I can’t spend enough time with them but they all have major responsibilities so I understand that. I just wish that
That evening after supper, Blaze and I snuck away into the trees. We had warned the others that my being marked would result in me sleeping for a few days so they were prepared. I wanted the claiming out of the way so I would not be sleeping when the Alpha from Norway came to visit. Though it in no way diminished my want and need to be claimed by Blaze. I was just being practical. A fact he started to tease me on as we walked through the trees. “You know it hurts that you’re fitting in my claim before bigger and more important things.” He mused with an over-exaggerated sigh. “I guess I’m just an afterthought.” “Oh come on! You know it’s not like that. I want to be claimed by you. But it also makes sense to do it now so that I’m not unavailable when Alpha Einar gets here. I’m not being mean here.” I scoffed and held onto his arm, taking him deeper into the trees. “Oh sure, justify it however you want to. I know I’m just an afterthought.” He teased back and pulled from my grip, wal
Slowly the fog changed into the dark of night and the falling of snow. It was a slow snowfall, the fluffy flakes that blanket everything in heavy silence. The only sound is the heavy crunch of snow as it settles on the branches of the surrounding trees. The moon is full and high in the sky as it casts a silvery glow on everything. I stand in the knee-deep snow and wrap my arms around my body, shivering from the cold. I take a few steps in the direction of his cave, tutting in frustration as the cold seeps into my exposed skin, the sports bra and boxer panties doing nothing to keep me warm. I’ve noticed that there's a big difference between going to the island and then coming here, at least on the island I was more clothed than this. “Pervy old wolf. Bringing me here when I’m basically naked.” I mutter under my breath, my breath visible in the air as I trudge through the snow. The upside was that it’s not as frigid and cold as it was the last time I was here. I see the cave up ahe
When I woke I felt the presence of another person in the room, a skin prickling sensation that had me immediately sitting up and looking for danger. I groaned when I noticed it was just Gram gathering up clothes and that I had no reason to be nervous or scared. I flopped back onto the bed and took slow breaths to calm my rapidly beating heart. “Sorry my dear, I didn’t mean to scare you. I was just trying to tidy up. How are you feeling?” Gram asked with a small smile as she set the laundry basket down and sat on the end of the bed. I kept the sheet around me as I sat up and smiled softly at her. “I’m feeling ok. Tired but nothing too bad. How long was I out?” I asked curiously as I ran my hand through my hair and grimaced at the rat's nest it had become, my fingers getting caught in a ton of knots. “It’s been three almost 4 days. Blaze has been with you every chance he got. But he’s also been a big help with patrols and even training. You’re one lucky lady my dear. You’ve found goo
