Lexi As sweet as it is to watch Jesse and Annabelle I need to move this love fest forward. We have things to do. I kiss Ryan’s and Luther’s cheek and tell them I’ll be right back. I approach the love birds that are just staring at each other. “ Congratulations to both of you.” I say. That startles both of the causing them to jump apart. I want to laugh at them but I don’t. I hold it in. “ Oh, my queen. I didn’t see you there.” Annabelle said. “ No, worries. You are looking at you mate. I understand. Since you two haven’t exchanged names yet, let me have the privilege.” I said holding my hand out to Annabelle. She takes it and I say “ Annabelle, I would like you to meet Jesse from Aspen Rain.” “ Jesse.” she whispers looking into his eyes. “ Jesse, my loyal guardian meet Annabelle.” I said. “ Beautiful name for a beautiful lady.” Jesse whispered. He is so cute when he is being cheesy. I look at Annabelle as I hold out my hand to Jesse waiting for her permission. Annabelle nods s
Luther We sat holding Lexi until it was time for dinner. We always have to go down to the dinning room ten minutes early because Lexi likes to visit with everyone that shows up to eat in the packhouse. It happens no matter what packhouse we are at. She wants to find out how everyone is doing and how there day was. She also uses the time to find out if anyone is having any issues Ryan or I need to be aware of. It took us three times to figure out a system so our food wouldn’t get cold. The first time it happened it was at my pack and the second was at Ryan’s. We figured it was just Lexi getting to know everyone. Nope, she does it every time. The people in Ryan’s pack were taken back by Lexi wanting to get to know them. All of them. She would talk to the kitchen staff, the gardener, the house keepers, nurses, daycare workers, warriors, you name it. If you are part of the pack Lexi is talking to you and making sure you were doing well and had everything you needed. It took Ryan’s
Ryan When Annabelle started shifting nervously in her chair my gut told me I wasn’t going to like what I hear. I looked around and noticed several of my pack members that were sitting at our table went quiet and were looking anywhere but at me. Jesse wraps an arm around Annabelle’s shoulder. “ Belle, I know we just met so my word may not mean that much yet. But I believe Alpha Ryan just wants to know. He isn’t going to punish you for telling what you have seen. You know him better than I do and I know he is a man of his word.” he said. I see Annabelle relax a little. “ And if not I’ll have Lexi zap him.” Jesse laughed. That cause the table to relax more. I have no doubt Lexi would send a pulse my way if I went back on my word. Annabelle takes a deep breath then looks at me. “ I honesty not sure how to answer your question. I have never interacted with her. Not many of us did. If we needed anything we went through her assistant. And until our queen came along I didn’t think anyth
Lexi I didn’t mean to listen in on the conversations in the dining room. I truly didn’t. But my enhanced hearing made it easy to hear what was being said. I wanted so badly to run out there and stop Ryan. He didn’t need to know how much people disliked the previous Luna. He already knows what a horrible person she is. No sense in adding fuel to the fire. The only reason I already know about what is being said is because I have heard people talk around the packhouse. Most compare me to Skyline. I seem to come out in a favorable light most of the time. Some of the older generations are having difficultly adapting to my ways. But I think it is just a matter of time. Even though they are all adjusting they have been nothing but respectful towards me. Don’t get me wrong I get some glares. Mainly jealous she-wolves who wanted to be Ryan’s chosen mate. I don’t let them bother me. They can glare all they want as long as they keep their hands off my mates and me we will be good. I don’t wan
Luther When Lexi said she wanted us to get in the hot tub I figured she just wanted to relax. I didn’t expect her to want to take care of Ryan and me. But it shouldn’t have surprised me. “ Why are you shocked our mate wanted to take care of us? Is concerned for us.” Diesel asked. As soon as I’m between Lexi legs and she puits her hands on my shoulders I almost forget Diesel’s question. “ No man. You are right. I shouldn’t be shocked. This is just something she hasn’t done before.” I said. Lexi digs her thumbs into the base of my neck I groan and my eyes roll back. Damn it feels good. “ When do you guys have time to just relax?” Diesel asked. “ Diesel, leave him alone. Let Luther enjoy his time with Lexi. Come over here and let’s see what I can rub on you.” Arya said. “ Hurry, up man. Before I keep her all to myself.” Stone chuckled.” Coming my sweet.” Diesel said and blocked me out. Lexi leaned down and kissed my cheek. “ Where are you, love?” she asked. “ Sorry baby. I was tal
Ryan Getting pampered by Lexi was nice but not something I thought I needed. That was until I got it. It was nice to have someone take care of me for once. I wouldn’t ask Lexi to do it often or at all. All my life I have always had to put my pack first. I knew I was going to take over one day and trained with my dad from the time I was fourteen. But even before that I put my pack before anything else. Don’t get me wrong I wouldn’t change it for anything inn the world. I love being the Alpha. But it was nice to be put first for once. I never thought about it before but I guess that is what mates are supposed to do. I know my dad did it for my mom all the time. I don’t recall her doing anything for my dad though. Just another way to prove how much of a bitch she is. It was all about power and what someone could do for her. I’m not going there and it will piss me off. I have other things that need my attention. Like my sweet mate for instance. We are in the backyard getting ready to
Lexi After running with the pups there was only one thing I wanted to do. Spend alone time with my mates. Or just one. I’m not greedy. I’ll take an hour if that is all I could get. But unfortunately there was pack business that had to be handled first. There is always pack things to handle. Don’t get me wrong I love these packs but sometimes it can be a little much. And I’m supposed to unite all the packs. There are times when I think mother made the wrong choice when she chose me to do all of this. It is overwhelming sometimes. If it weren’t for Ryan and Luther I believe I would lose my mind. “ Stop doubting yourself. Stress is normal for what you are dealing with. But you are not alone. You have me, your and my mates and so many others that are willing to help. You don’t have to take on everything yourself. Delegate if you have to. Get an assistant in both packs. But I assure you mother did not chose wrong.” Arya said. “ Thank you, Arya. It helps to hear it sometimes.” I told her.
Luther I was working with Ryan in his office trying to figure out how to merge our packs without too much strain on our members. But no matter what we came up with we knew it was going to cause stress to our pack members. We had been going at it for two hours with no perfect answer. I was getting frustrated and so was Ryan. “ I hate to say this but there is no easy solution.” Ryan said. “ I’m right there with you. Do you want to revisit Lexi’s idea?” I asked. Ryan leans back in his chair and stretches his arms above his head. “ I’m thinking we should have done that from the start. We could have saved ourselves a headache.” Ryan yawns. “ Let’s look at the plans for the new pack house and see if it is doable.” I suggested. I grabbed the plans from the corner of the desk while Ryan moved the papers about our packs that we were looking at. I rolled out the plans for both of us to look at. I stood next to Ryan looking over the plans. I looked at where the packhouse will be. “ Yo
