The Big Sky Alpha novel Chapter 150

150. My idea

COLT POV

+25 Points

Something isn’t right. I’ve been telling her; she just nods or says something like “Oh” every time I tell her. I figured she was getting sick of me telling her about these minor attacks. It’s never been anything big, but she’s my Luna she should know these things.

Having her stand here acting like I’m lying to her about having told her is making me feel uneasy. Has anything I been saying to her lately been registering? Of course, my insecurities instantly came

alive. I had to calm them down quickly. I know better, but she doesn’t seem like anything is wrong

with her. She remembers other things, so it’s not her memory that’s an issue here.

After a minute of her standing there looking like she was thinking, she said, “Colt I think I would

remember if you were telling me that our walls were being attacked almost nightly.”

What the hell is going on here? I went to ask her, “Freya, what….” But she cut me off.

“Whatever Colt. I’m tired. I’m going to bed.” She said as she walked off, back to the pack house.

I just stood there watching her, feeling very helpless. What in the actual f**k?

Has she really been off in her own little world in her head that she’s not listening to the things I’m telling her? Is it that she’s not interested in anything have to say anymore so she tunes me out? Am I just talking too much about everything we have going on around the pack?

It can’t be that I’m talking about the issues we’re having in the pack, she’s the Luna she cares about these things. My Freya cares about these things. I know she does.

You know, come to think of it, she’s not really engaging with me much lately. I see her during our meals, when we put the kids to bed, and occasionally if whatever we’re working on ends up crossing paths through the day. She has at least proactively asked me about the bunker, so I guess

there’s that.

She’s been so busy lately working on readying the pack for the inevitable attack we’re facing. Maybe I’m just being too hard on her, and myself. I think we both might just need a little break.

Right as I think that I sense Ash coming up behind me. I turned to look at him before he said.

anything.

“Alpha, I just wanted to let you know the rogues have been delt with.” He said.

“Good to hear, thank you Ash.” I answered. I assumed that was all he wanted, but he lingered like

he had more he wanted to say. “Everything okay?” asked him.

He looked around, and then he looked toward Freya, “Is Freya doing alright Alpha?”

That question caught me off guard. “Why would you ask that?”

He held up his hands in surrender. I apparently asked that question a bit more harsh than I anticipated. “Nothing Alpha. I just meant that she seemed awfully worried about the rogues.”

I took a breath and sighed, “Yeah, I’ve been telling her about the bigger attacks but apparently, she

was a little upset I wasn’t telling her about all the smaller ones too. She just feels a bit off by the

fact that they’re attacking so much.”

He looked at me with question in his eye, but he just nodded. “Okay Alpha. I’m sorry if I was too

bold.”

“It’s fine, Ash. I think with all this preparing for a battle we’ve gotten a bit too caught up in the stress of it all. Just need a little break. I think I’ll take tomorrow to do something with her and the kids without worrying about the rest of the pack. I’ll just need you and Levi to make sure everything is running smoothly so we don’t get interrupted if we don’t need to be.”

He smiled and nodded, “That sounds like a great idea Alpha. Levi and I will take care of everything. We can survive a day without you, I think. If we can’t well then, we have bigger problems on our hands.” He laughed.

“Thank you, Ash.” I laughed back and patted his shoulder.

He turned and headed back to the wall, and I turned to head back to the pack house.

I took the time to think about what we’re going to do with our free day tomorrow. The kids are still

young, but they’re old enough to teach simple things to. It still doesn’t leave us with a whole lot we

can do though. Then it dawned on me, I knew exactly what we were going to do tomorrow.

When I got to the room, I heard the shower running. I walked in and found myself just staring at the shower curtain. It didn’t feel right to pull the curtain back when I knew she was upset with me. Granted, I’m not so sure I deserve the anger she has right now, but that’s neither here nor there.

I stood propped up against the bathroom counter and cleared my throat, “I’m sorry Freya. I know I haven’t told you about every attack we’ve had. I guess I just thought the smaller ones weren’t so important, but I was wrong. I’ll tell you from now on As for the bigger ones, though I have told you about them, maybe I’ve been telling you at bad times.”

I paused for a minute waiting to see if she’d have anything to say at this point. Since she remained silent, I decided to continue.

“I’ve been thinking that maybe with all this doom we’ve been preparing for that we’ve both gotten. wrapped up in the stress of it all. We’ve not spent much time together as a family and I think it would be good for us and for the kids if we just went and did something together tomorrow, away from the rest of the pack issues.” I waited to hear how she felt about that.

After a moment I was about to ask if she was even listening when she asked, “What did you have in mind?”

I smiled, “My father took my mother and I fishing once. We didn’t catch anything, but it was a peaceful day, and we had a lot of fun. I was thinking that’s something we could easily teach the kids. If we catch something we can eat it together just us. I’m not sure how you feel about fishing, but I thought it might be a nice little adventure with the kids.”

She turned the shower off and pulled the curtain back, exposing her naked wet body to me. She

wrapped up in a towel and stepped out walking up to me.

She leaned against me, up on her tippy toes, she kissed me quickly and said, “Apology accepted.”

Then she walked out of the bathroom, dried completely off and threw on a gown then she climbed

into bed.
