The Wolf In Me novel Chapter 7

Part 1 Starting anew

The packhouse was just like the good old days, filled with joy, laughter and excitement. I was in the kitchen grabbing some food for breakfast when I feel Mei's arms slithering around my waist from behind.

"I'm awake and ready for the day" she announced.

She was wearing a blue dress that made her look like a princess.

"You look lovely and fresh this morning my love," I said waiting for that smile to appear. She is the best thing that ever happened to me.

It has been already a month since we settled in and it was going great. Jake was training the pack every morning, Steph is doing pretty well in the kitchen organising breakfast, lunch and dinner for everyone, Mei is making sure that everyone is doing their job and well, me being the new alpha I have tones of stuff to do too. I started to organise some paperwork I found piled up in a box my mum left here that was all dad's work which would be very helpful to guide me in the future. I have asked some of my strong men to guard the surrounding area hoping that no one would show up uninvited.

I looked down at my pack, standing on the same spot I took the first time I gazed at all of my people.

"Dear wolves, werewolves and cubs, we are gathered here today to discuss what we can do to make things even better than they already are. I can see how much we have done in just a month's worth of work. Excellent! Well done!" I smiled at everyone and clapped so that everyone would join me.

"Now, now. I have three things to say. First news is that I would like to give each one of you the chance to express your thoughts with me. To make things better, I need to know what you are expecting of me. I will be sitting in that room over there for a few hours waiting for anyone to come in and we can talk about your opinions. I am ready to listen. Secondly, for those who would like to join me, I will be heading off into different locations around the world in the hopes of finding more wolves that are willing to join in and find some strong alphas that can help out gather groups of packs. The third thing I would love for Mei to please come up and join me here."

I waited for her as I watched each step she took. The expression she had on her face was one of a confused woman. I was super nervous and I could feel my body shake with excitement.

"Mei, we have been together as mates for just a few months but, I feel ready to take the next step forward."

I knelt on one knee and looked up at her with the small box in my hand opened for her to see what's inside.

"Will you be my wife?" I said looking into her beautiful large blue eyes.

Mei looked at the ring I had between my thumb and index finger and gasped as she didn't expect this to happen. She was speechless at first and I just kept waiting as I stared into her eyes. Everyone remained quiet and looked at us waiting for Mei to answer.

"Yes. Yes, I would love to," she cried out with joy now realising that she was not dreaming. She gave me her hand so I would place the ring in her finger.

"Always and forever, mates, till death do us part," I announced and stood up to kiss her softly on the lips.

Everyone clapped and cheered for us as we stood there smiling at everyone.

After spending hours listening to every person's opinions I got tired. I almost fell asleep on the table when I found myself alone in the room but Mei came in just in time.

"I am so excited. I love you so much, you know?" I giggled watching her with that happy smile and motioned for her to come closer.

"I love you too sweety. You know, I am thinking of doing the ceremony in the large back garden once it is all cleared and tidy."

She grabbed my arms and sat down on my lap.

"That is just perfect."

We kissed romantically for a while, then she turned further towards me and held my shirt with both hands to pull me closer. I knew where this was going so I grabbed her light body bride style and went upstairs in our bedroom. Still holding her arms around my neck I placed her on the bed and we kissed hard.

As my eyes gazed onto her buttons to loosen them up I started to touch her neck softly and kiss it softly. The heavy dress fell on the floor exposing her naked body. I couldn't wait to have her in my arms but she needed to take my clothes off first.
