Her Dark Lycan novel Chapter 26

Venus woke up to a pair of warm soft lips on her neck, she tilted her head to the other side and scrunched her nose, the pair of lips still didn't stop their sweet assault on her neck, gently nipping and kissing her.

She peeked an eye open to see Dante hovering above her, his dark locks messy, as if it were the most natural thing ever, venus ran her hands through his hair to set aside the stray locks that had fallen over his forehead, he closed his eyes and relished in the feel of her soft touch.

"Good morning love," dante said, his voice deep and husky from sleep,

"Good morning," venus replier shyly, turning over as her face turned red from his heated gaze.

He chuckled above her and kissed her nape, getting out of bed and heading to the washroom to freshen up and venus lay in the sheets cuddled, a big smile on her face.

After Dante, venus went and freshened up, wearing white shorts with a baby blue tee and some white converse, she had to go to the pack orphanage today.

While making breakfast for dante she dropped a spoon and bent down to get it, only to receive a hard squeeze and smack to her derrière, Venus jumped, fully ready to smack the culprit across the face but Dante had already ran out of the kitchen, a sly smirk on his face.

Sophia and Venus later in the day head out to the orphanage, James had gone to another pack with Gabriel for some work.

The pack care taker greeted them politely, she was a lovely woman in her 40s.

"Hello luna, my name is Greta I'm the caretaker of the packs orphanage, hello sophia," she said, hugging sophia and giving venus a warm smile.

"Oh please call me Venus, and its lovely to meet you Greta," venus didn't want to be called upon as luna, she wanted everyone to be at ease with her.

"As you say venus, come this way, the children are decorating the back yard fences and walls, we thought we'd let them be creative on their own," greta said, picking up an adorable little girl of no more than 2 and balancing her on he hip.

"How many kids are here," venus asked, giving the little girl a soft smile.

"About 47 now right greta?" Sophia asked, as she would come to the orphanage frequently, she was familiar with the kids.

"Yes 45 actually, two pups got adopted yesterday," greta said, smiling widely as she gave the news to sophia who shared an equally happy reaction.

The little girl in gretas arms extended her little chubby arms towards venus, her big green eyes wide in wonder,

"Pwetty," she said in a soft adorable voice as she pointed at Venus's hair.

"Why thank you baby, you're much too pretty," venus said, taking little poppy as greta told her name, into her arms, as poppy played around with her hair.

With Poppy in her arms they went to the back yard to see many kids running around and playing, giggles and laughter could be heard all across, there were 7 other caretakers along with Greta.

The oldest kids were of 14-16 while the youngest was Poppy herself, of 2 years.

Greta called out to all the kids and told them to assemble into a line and meet their luna, obediently they did as they were told and collectively greeted venus.

She smiled widely at all of them as they all sat in a circle and introduced themselves.

The day went by with venus playing around and helping all the kids decorate, spending lunch time with them and reading them stories.

"Luna, is the alpha actually really big and scary," John asked, being no more than 8 and a very curious child with high intellect.

Venus giggled and shook her head,

"He's a very brave and good man, he comes off as scary so people don't mess with him, but really he's not scary at all, unless you eat his food then he's really mean, much like the grinch then," she joked as all the kids dissolved into gales of laughter at the thought of their big alpha being grumpy just cuz someone took his food.

"Luna is it true he has many many scars on his body from all the battles he's fought," Angela asked, as she blonde curls bounced with every little movement she made.

"No sweetheart, he does like a few scars but not that many,"

"How much do you love the alpha?" Lia asked, as the 15 year old giggled and so did everyone else, as venus blushed at the question and greta gently reprimanded the kids to not ask such questions.

The afternoon passed with teasing and fun, just when they were about to leave venus noticed a little boy of 6 years sitting in the corner alone, she hadn't seen him since she had come.

"Thats evan, he joined us a few months ago, he doesn't sit with the other kids and prefers to be alone," greta said from beside her, as if sensing Venus's confusion.

"And he-,"

"Yes he cant walk, needs crutches or a wheelchair, we've provided both so he can use which ever he's comfortable with," greta finished, sighing.
