Fates Hands novel Chapter 60

Chapter 60

Adira and little Alex was sitting by the pack Christmas tree, in the Luna room. Elder pack members were around her while the young pups played with their new toys.

It was Christmas Eve, for dinner everyone had pizza and snacks. The kitchen was far too busy preparing for the huge feast, they will have Christmas Day. (2)

The pack tree was different from other personal trees, it had all twinkle lights and a star at the top. However it’s garland was made by all the packs pups. There was a train under it going round and round.

Each pack family also made an ornament to hang on the tree. The rest of the ornaments were old

rest of the Luna room was twinkle lights from the ceiling, holly around the hearth and evergreen garlands.

It looked old fashioned, warm and welcoming. The two Luna’s made Christmas cookies, with all the packs pups for the Chirstmas Eve party. There was also a huge bonfire in the pack square, this was for all the pack as well.

Little Alex was sound asleep, in the arms of Selma the pack’s head elder. Adira and Marnie were playing with the children, making sure all were happy. While the males of the pack hung around the snack table. 2

It was a peaceful and happy Chirstmas Eve. Tomorrow there will be a feast and then the Christmas Ball. Adira was like a kid in a candy store, all of this was new to her. She

made sure she enjoyed every minute of it. While Duncan watched over them with a happy smile.

Felicia was not a happy female at all, she was allowed to take a ten minute shower with luke warm water. Then she was given another grey jogging outfit to wear, her hair was covered by a grey bandana.

She sat in her assigned room, it was grey as well. It had a small cot in the corner with a plastic milk crate for an end table. The cot didn’t have any sheets just a wool blanket and a pillow.

The floor was just dirt, cold damp dirt. It did bring a little contrast to the room though.

There were no windows only a light hanging from the ceiling. There was a

small shelf on the wall, it was empty except for a couple of small booklets on manners and protocals for meeting new people, what to expect when visiting other were’ packs. 2

There was a small room off from hers, she assumed it was the bathroom only because it had nothing but a bucket in the corner with a lid and beside it was a cheap roll of toilet paper.

There was a shelf on the wall in this room as well, it had a bottle of hand sanitizer on it. That was it, so this was going to be her life for the next week or two.

There was a tray of food on the milk crate, it was two slices of cold pizza and a christmas cookie, with a small glass of milk to wash it down.

She was told that for her christmas present this vean was that she will

not be working till the day after christmas, she will be working on the clean up crew.

It was Christmas Eve she should be out with all her friends, dancing at all the best parties. She had a special gown made, just for the holiday. Now she is sitting in grey, doing nothing at all. Feeling sorry for herself, she laid down on the cot to cry out her angry tears.

What does it matter anyway really, it’s not like any of them were real friends. It wasn’t like her mother or father really cared about how she felt. Even her Lion is pissed at her, for forcing her to attack the shewolf.

Seriously what was there for her back at the Pride. Nothing, nothing at all. Perhaps she will just take off for awhile and just be herself.

The King decided that he was going to go to Storm Crow pack this year for Christmas, a surprise to all in the court. He decided that things needed to cool down a bit, so he cancelled the Christmas festivities for the crown.

Instead he loaded up an suv with all the presents for his Godson, Alpha and Luna. As well as a present for each young pup in their pack. He was going to play Santa this year.

Lily was both excited and nervous about going, it was time that her and Adira had a long talk. She wanted to see her nephew too. It wasn’t right what happened to them. That didn’t mean though that they had to continue on the same way.

It was time they both lead the lives they were meant to lead. The past is in the past and there it will stay.

They would arrive there at around three in the morning, she wanted Callan {aka the King} to call ahead and give them some kind of warning, especially since they would arrive so early in the morning. He assured her that it will be ok.
