Book2 Chapter16
“Who’s watching over the pack if you males are here?”
“Clayton is. He’s much better. He’s almost able to beat Caleb now. So we took a chance on him and left him in charge. I’ll explain everything. I wanted to last night, but Kimberly came and I had to deliver another pup.” A look of pure loathing crosses his face.
“It took all night. She didn’t progress well. It was difficult for everyone. They’re fine, mother and pup doing well. I was falling asleep when Cash called me, telling me what he did to you.” Violent vibrations from his chest tumble out as he tells me the end of that
sentence.
“He was supposed to train you the right way. I didn’t expect this from him. He’s changed for the worse since he met her.” He looks
saddened by this revelation.
I walk into the living room. Kennedy has her head on a pillow, body curled into a ball on the couch. She looks as if she physically hurts. A blanket covers her body. Her eyes go wide looking at Dallas, and I think I hear a whimper come out of her mouth.
“Mother, did you not give her what Itold you?”
Luna Grace comes out of the kitchen with a cup of tea. “She wouldn’t drink it, says that she deserves to feel everything he does.”
It’s in this minute that I smell it, the mingling scents inside her. The way the female and male smells coil around each other. Wolves will think she is having a female, but I know that scent. It’s the smell of twins, one of each.
Very rare to have twins, very difficult on the mother to host two lives that are sucking away at all her resources so she can carry them to term. She will need to start to eat more soon because already she looks skinnier than when I went away. Icontemplate telling her, but I
don’t.
“If that’s what she wants, so be it.” Dallas is acting like the Alpha of this house as the king slowly lumbers in and takes a seat, sinking into the cushion, regarding his son.
“I think that it’s time I train you, my first born.” The Alpha looks on at a son who is coming into what his nature has always demanded of him. Alpha.
Dallas gingerly places me on his lap, holding me close to his body. I melt into him. His heat feels good against my skin. I place my lips against his neck, a soft kiss that makes his body quiver. I can feel how I affect other parts of him as I’m adjusted slightly on his lap.
“I’m not sure yet.” Dallas’s voice feels far away as I close my eyes, the day’s events and not getting to bed until late last night from listening to all those messages taking their toll on me. I feel secure with Dallas holding me. I like this feeling.
“Wake up. Time to eat.” Dallas shifts me on his lap, still no pain from my arm. It’s as if it’s numb, without feelings.
Kennedy is already seated at the table; she is down in the middle. Dallas takes his father’s left, while I sit beside him. He starts asking what I want before he fills his own plate. I don’t feel like eating, just drinking some water, but Ido eye Kennedy’s fruit bowl that would be good to eat at this moment.
It’s filled with yellow fleshy mangoes, halved green and red grapes, and pitted black cherries, and shaved almonds are on top of the medley along with a dash of sugar. Kennedy saw me eyeing what she has. Very subtly she pushes her bowl toward me, sharing what she has. I don’t take it. Instead, I look away. I don’t need what she has; I can do without.
Cash comes into the dining room, looking rough. Looking at Kennedy, he takes in her appearance with a hint of relief before sitting down beside her. He takes a drink from the bottle of water he’s holding in his good hand. He’s sporting the same blue sling I am. It’s like we’re twinning.
Kennedy goes to put her hand on his shoulder. He just angles himself away from her. That hand drops to her side.
Caleb’s last to take his seat at the table, clothes looking wrinkled, as if he just put on something he was wearing from last night. He smells of many different females, his gluttony unmistakable.
“Next time you come to the table, wash yourself!” His mother is not pleased having to sit next to a son who smells of last night’s pleasures.
He gives a dirty smirk, winking at me.
“Next time I will.” He gives his mother a smile that probably works on all the pretty females, but not on her. She just huffs to herself. Book2 Chapter16
“Carson, Crane, I’m having a small party tonight. You’re welcome to join me in the basement.” Both males look on with wicked, naughty eyes. “Cash, how’s the arm?” Caleb says between bites of food. He’s instigating him for a response.
“Caleb,” Dallas warns out.
“Just a joke.” He puts his hands up in surrender.
“Kennedy.” Her head picks up, as if she’s not used to being talked to.
“You’re having a female. Congrats.” He raises his glass to her in a mock cheer.
“You’re having twins.” My wordshang in the air as a smile makes its way along her always curved down lips. Could this be her first smile I’m witnessing since being in this pack? She glows with the news, her hands going over that small, round bulge. She looks beautiful when she shows her heart smile. She turns toward Cash, her eyes sparkling with the news. She looks at him as if she’s expecting something from him. Instead, he keeps his face impassive, no emotion betrayed by his lips that are straight lined. Eyes that don’t sparkle back at hers.
