This last week has been interesting. It took a couple of days, but I feel back to normal. Ruari has been the best. I was hesitant about staying here in the pack at first, but everyone welcomed me with open arms. Sofyia has become a good friend, and she has introduced me to a few of the others that she hangs around with. A couple of the girls spit out snide remarks or they ignore me, but I know it is because they are jealous. I have more or less moved into Ruari’s room.  “Fuck, that was brutal.” Tarryn huffed.

I had a feeling that this uncle was not well liked here. I looked at Ruari, but he told me that he would explain later. Cora practically sneered when she was telling Mark and Ruari this uncle called. I could hear Mark growling while he was on his phone. I am guessing the talk was not going well.  “Well?” Ruari asked. 

Eivor, Fredrik and Dorian followed me back and into our room as I placed Aerian down on the bed. I knew they would. I also knew they wanted to ask more questions but held off. Dr. Lewiston was waiting for us when I walked into my room. Mother was also there to help if needed. The three of us stepped out of the room as Dr. Lewiston checked Aerian. It did not take long before the door to our room opened.  “Our Luna is fine. She has no wounds that I can see. There are a few spots where there are some red marks which I have a feeling will turn into bruises.” Dr. Lewiston told us.

I raised my arms above my head doing a full body stretch. It felt like my entire spine popped which felt strangely good. I rolled over to snuggle up to my personal heater, but his side of the bed was empty. The sheet were still warm which meant he had not been gone long. I sat up looking around. I was sitting on the edge of the bed when the bathroom door opened releasing a cloud of steam into the room. Ruari walked out with a towel wrapped around his hips. I watched a drop of water slide down his chiseled chest. I had the sudden urge to lick that drop up or maybe I just wanted to lick him. My eyes snapped up when I heard him laugh. I am sure my face was red as fuck. 

I smiled as I hung up the phone. Aerian was probably still raging. I had just told her that she needed to dress up because I was taking her out. We had been out on a lunch date but that was it. I hung up before she could ask what she should wear. I linked mother telling her that I was taking Aerian out and asked her to help her get ready. I am sure I will hear it when I get home, but I know once she sees where I am taking her, she will forget about being pissed at me. I went back to work. I had to come into the office. I had a few meetings that had already been rescheduled a few times. It was fine. Uilleam was with me. He still had not talked with Navyda yet. I let out a groan as the last meeting finished. I was leaning back in my chair.
