Waking up next to Wyatt is one of the best feelings. I felt loved and content. I was completely sore between my legs. I don’t think I will be able to walk! He didn’t stop until 4am and that was just because I passed out of exhaustion. I was laying on my side and Wyatt had his arm draped over my waist. I grabbed his hand and pulled it under my face, snuggling against him. My happy, safe place.
“Good morning beautiful!” Wyatt said as he yawned.
“Morning to you too”
“Let’s go get breakfast. I have some work to do. Kelly wants a girl’s day or something. Brooke is home now, so I think you guys are spending the day keeping her company while Zach and I work.”
“Planning my day for me?” I asked, a little annoyed.
“Well, eventually, you will have duties here but Brooke just got home and I need Zach’s help in the office and he refuses to leave her alone, so basically you are helping me out by agreeing to this. Is that okay?”
“Just ask me next time, please?!”
“My mom doesn’t make decisions here. I was raised to think a good Luna is a submissive one. You will have to be patient with me trying to pass off some of the responsibility.”
“Wyatt, if we become King and Queen, I don’t know where we will end up. We may not have a choice but to leave the pack.”
This caused him to stiffen. He was still for a while and I could feel the inner turmoil he was feeling. “Let’s get ready for the day and we can discuss this another time.” Wyatt got up and walked to the bathroom. I would have admired seeing his tight toned ass but I had a feeling this eventually would not be a fun conversation.
I let him take a shower first. He needed some time alone. I let his emotions flow through me. Worried, angry, sadness. I tried to rationalize his feelings. This is the only home he has ever known. His whole life has been about becoming Alpha to this pack. His blood, sweat and tears have built this place with his dad. And here I come, the woman he is mated with, taking him away from it all. I felt guilty. Maybe he didn’t want this. He still has a family and a purpose here.
I was still sitting on the bed when he stepped out of the bathroom. “It’s all yours” he said, and walked to his closet and got dressed. I suddenly felt very lonely. I quietly got up and walked to the bathroom and closed the door. The shower was all tiled in black with a mirror on the opposite side of the water. There were his and hers shower heads that were set up in a rain position. I turned the water on as hot as possible and got under it. The door was clear glass and you could see the rest of the bathroom. The tile on the floor was white with a black vanity and a marble countertop. A his and her sink was there with a girl’s items sitting out. Wyatt must have grabbed what he thought I might need and set it out for me. I sat down and brought my knees to my chest and hugged them. This is my weak spot. I allow myself to show weakness here in the shower when I am alone. It allows me to get everything off my chest. I allow myself to feel all the negative so when I leave the bathroom, I am recharged. Right now, I feel weak. I didn’t ask for this either, I didn’t ask for my parents to die. I didn’t ask for a stupid prophesy to be made about me. I wanted to find a mate and grow old, have pups and die of old age. I just want to be loved for who I am.
Chapter43-2
Wyatt POV
Holy Fuck! I never even thought about having to move if we are king and queen. I guess it makes sense though.
I sat down in my office chair and ran my fingers though my hair. I already know I fucked up by leaving her in the shower without saying bye. I could feel how guilty she feels right now. I just needed a chance to think this through. I mean, I will always stand beside her. She isn’t going anywhere without me. I just need to get my head on straight and come up with a game plan. We need information! Who are we even fighting against? Where are they located? Dad told me he would be putting me in dangerous situations to try to drawl out her powers. She was pissed when she threw me! Hurt like a bitch too. But if we have to leave, who takes over the pack? This is my born right! However, if the Moon Goddess thought I was the right mate for her, then maybe I was never meant to run this pack. This is a lot to wrap my head around. I will go wherever she goes and we will be a united front. I just needed a second to process all this.
“Kelly” I mind-liked “Please make reservations at Gustoso’s tonight for Nina and me at six and have her ready to go. Just tell her I am taking her on a date, but don’t give her any information. I have some making up to do.”
“For fuck’s sake, you two have been mated for like a day and you fucked up already!”
“I don’t need a lecture; I feel bad enough. I will just talk to her tonight. I have a ton of work to do.”
“You deserve an ass kick!”
“Well, I will get that tomorrow, I am sure” I said, and I cut the link.
“Maverick, come to my office.”
“Yes, sir” he sounded like he was out of breath. “Justin just got back”
“Good” About 5 minutes later, I heard their footsteps and a knock on the door.
“Come in” about time! I know, I am antsy. Justin and Maverick sat down in either arm chair
“There are multiple rouge camps around this pack. Most fairly small, about a dozen or so. They are out scouting for a girl. They were told by someone that she was in the pack, but since the last few people who got too close died, they are all staying away at a distance and using binoculars. Rumor was that there was a camp that is now the size of a small pack. This pack supposably is in Florida. Apparently, they use the shipping docks to transport cargo, aka women and children, to a deserted island. That island is where ‘The Savior’ is at. It is off U.S. soil, so the laws do not apply to them. I have information that they have corrupt people in the council that are passing laws and giving them information that should be top secret. They will have an army at their disposal”, Justin said with a very serious expression.
Just then, I heard a knock at the door. “Who is it?” I asked.
“Zach”, I heard and nodded, should have waited for him.
“Come in”
Justin and Maverick gave me questioning looks. We have never brought in other people in our investigations before.
“Zach, this is Justin and Maverick. Both are my right-hand men when you need your hands dirty. Come have a seat. You’re just in time. Justin, tell Zach what you told me.” I watched Zach’s eyes harden and his face turned lethal. I think I will like him.
“What I will tell you guys now is to stay between us. It does not leave this room.” This is how we work; dad lets me do things my way and I report to him. Basically, I am the Alpha with no title. I watched them all nod their heads. I told them about Nina and her parents, her running away, her killing the bandits. Which resulted in shocked and impressed faces. I told them about how we are mated and the prophesy. How, Zach is her ‘brother’ and mated to Brooke. About Nina’s abilities, we need to figure out what they are. I told them everything.
“So, they are after her…” Maverick said, trailing his voice off.
“Well, shit.” is all Justin said.
“We need to keep our investigation a secret. Not even Nina could know. She needs to enjoy her life and have some fun. She has already lost her parents and I want her to have some happiness before she is forced to fight for her life.” I said.
“You know she will be PISSED when she finds out” Zach said, giving me a look.
“She will kick your ass, did you not see how she handled Samantha and her dad?”
Zach’s phone started ringing. He looked at it and got a weird look on his face and excused himself, stepping out in the hall.
“Yeah, I heard when she woke up, she was still very livid.”
“What else could she do though? She lost the challenge in like two minutes.” I said, thinking.
