Chapter 159

[ 1,309 words ]

Theo

A letter is waiting for us on the front porch when we wake up.

On top. Scrolled in the gloopy gold letters are the initials. M. A.

I saw knowing that this letter has the potential to derail our entire day.

My wolf lets out to squinter the Huff at the item. No more of a fan of it than I am.

I’ve had over to the kitchen with the rest of my band and pup are enjoying some waffles with cream and the berries.

“ This just came in “ I placed the letter down and the sensor at the table. “ From the Magnus Alpha.”

Ronan puts down his fork and reaches for the envelope. Flicking out a single claw, he slides it across the opening and pulls out the slip of paper inside.

Unfolding it. He takes a second to scan it before he begins to read out loud.

“ All Alphas are hereby being summoned to the Capitol for a meeting with the Magnus Alpha to discuss the recent events leaking our way of life. Each Alpha is permitted to bring guests.”

Ronan goes on to read the dating and time. Everyone is expected to arrive but my mind is on the stipulation that only people are going to go with him.

No matter how much I want to go logically, I know that it would be best for the pack if I stay here.

“I’m going,” Aria says without preamble.

“No, you’re not,” I say with just as much passion.

“ I am—”

“pregnant,” I cut her off. “ You are going into your second trimester and you’ve only started to be able to keep food down. It’s not smart to send you into an unknown situation when we have a string of killers on the loose.

“At any other time I would have your back sweetheart but not this time. Feel is right. It is better for you to stay with the pack,” Kade says.

“Better for me, or better for you,” she challenges.

“I won’t lie and say that I don’t get a certain amount of peace knowing you’ll have the protection of the entire pack and a team of healers should anything arise. However, my concern first and foremost will always be you. Your safety means the safety of our pups, both of them.” Barric says.

His words seem to hit their Mark and she hesitates to argue back.

The cutest look of petulance crosses her face. “ Don’t think that because I’m pregnant you guys can continue to push me to the background.”

“ You will never be in the background. You are the heartbeat of our band and I’ll pack. We’re not asking you to step back forever just until you safely deliver our new addition,” Ronan says

“Fine then who will you take?”

Ronan thinks about it for a moment. “ Barrack and Theo need to be with the pack to help organize and keep our daily operations form and smoothly. Kade will be the first one coming with me. I was going to take Liam but I’m hesitant to ask him to be away from his mate and pups for that long.”

“You should do it,” Aria says. “ Elliot will be attending meeting as well, and I’m pretty sure he’s not going to want to take Ransom into any potential danger. And that means that while Liam was out with you. Ransom can come and help Hazel out over here.”

“You make a good point. I’ll give Elliot a call and if the details check out and your brother says yes and then we’ll go with that option.”

Aria looks pleased by Romans response.

“Speaking of options, come with me,” I say to Aria.

I guide her to the upper floor of the den and down the hall to the left. It is the room that we have chosen to be the nursery.

Ronan, Kade and Barric are right behind.

“All right, I’ll bite. What is this? “She gives me an amused look, her hands cupping her hips.

“You have to close your eyes first?”

“If it was anyone other than you, Theo, I’d be worried that I was about to get a ditched.”

I walk up behind her and run a hand along the curves of her body. “And baby I’m too obsessed with you to leave you and you. The only thing you have to worry about with me is personal space because you won’t have one.”

“You done, you horn ball, .” She tries to playfully bump me away with her shoulder and I allow it.

“You like me this way and admit it.”

“Out loud? ” she jokes. “Never.”

I take her left hand, one takes her right and we’re leaving it here inside of a little family project.

Once we’re firmly in the room, Ronan tells her to open her eyes and she does.

Her gasp of delight is just as potent a serotonin boost as her smiles. She takes her time looking at every detail.

From the delicately carved baseboards to the soft sky blue walls and pale gray furniture.

There is a small bookshelf to the left and a nursing chair beside the crib.

The changing station is stocked with diapering essentials but the closet has been left bare so she can fill it with all of the little clothes for our little one.

“I love it.” She worlds around so fast. I’m surprised she doesn’t get dizzy. “ When did you have the time to do all of this?

“We all took turns on our days off or anytime we could grab a free moment, “ I say.

She opens her arms wide and goes to give each of us a hug.

“I don’t think I could have dreamed up. Better maids or a better family,”

My wolf wolf size consensibly enjoyed the sound of my mate happy and relaxed because of something he did.

Now how about we all go for a run.

Or his beautiful face lights up even further. I can sense from our bond that she needs this time to connect to Little wolves and connect with each other before our temporary split.

We haven’t been apart since before Lowe was born and I know that’s somewhere inside her it makes her feel uneasy.

We all headed out to the backyard and in seconds we went from five people to five wiley wolves.

Aria’s wolf sits in the center of us waiting for her mates to approach her.

One by one they sniff and lick and rub against her.

When it is my wolf’s turn he slides his body against hers. Hers licking her muscle and budding her nose playfully with his.

Tail up Ari’s wolf, rinse forward to run and sniff and Mark their land to play and chase.

She takes us all the way to the other side and the pack and back again chasing small game along the way.

My wolf is surprised by how nimble she still is though she is his far along in her pregnancy.

Still, our wolves take it slow keeping in mind the condition of our mate and when she tires my wolf goes to snuggle up against her as we watch Ronan, Kade and Barric ‘s wolf wrestle amongst each other.

A bond vibrates solidly between us, a path so clear. It’s almost like we are inside of each other.

Aria and I shift to our human skin and I take her mouth kissing and sipping you know on her lips.

Barric comes beside us and when I release Aria he dives in. Their tongues clash in a sensual dance and heat floods into my loins.

Watching Aria be pleased by our band does something indescribable to me.

Kade is next leaving a trail of small nips across our jaw and neck as he kisses her with hunger and makes me tingle all over.

And when Ronan joins us the scent of Aria arousal sinks deeper and further inside of me.

It is a sensuality that settles inside of us as we trade kisses and soothing reverent touches as the sun goes down and the moon takes its place.
