NovelUpdateIt starts at the top That's what Kennedy had said to the pack and she'd looked at me, basically lettingknow that it's not just our warriors that need to change, that I need to change as well.
I've never really thought of the pack as a family, I mean, I spent enough years in Alpha Harold's pack that I probably should have, I saw the love that the pack members had for Harold and for Henry, but since I didn't have a pack at the time, I didn't take much notice. I didn't realize the value and importance of a pack being a family, Hell, I don't even recognize the value of family at all, or at least I didn't before Kennedy. Even my own mother chose to let herself wither away and die rather than be a mother to me, to be a family to me.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOf course, Kennedy's more than just family to me. She's everything to me. If she wants this pack to beca family, then we will. I don't know how to do that, but I'm sure that she does, and I'll follow her lead.
When Lane comes to ask about someone watching, Kennedy, something insidetightens. I'd expected Kennedy back by now, but I also know that she would take her tif Christy is awake and she'd also want to check on Lillian and their son.
That feeling inside my gut only gets tighter when Lane linksthat Kennedy isn't in the hospital. I immediately try to link her, opening up the link between us and I get nothing. Absolutely nothing.
I'm up and moving before I tell Lane that I'll meet him there. I quickly make my way through the packhouse. "Alpha, what's going on?" Kier asks, jogging over from where he'd been standing by the kitchen.
"I'm not sure, I can't reach Kennedy," I say as we get to the back of the packhouse. I leap off the back paand begin running to the overhang. I lift my nose in the air, searching for my mate's scent just as I hear Rowd, Kier's wolf, begin running behind me.
'I can't reach her either, Alpha, Kier says in the mind link. 'Wasn't she at the hospital?' 'Lane went to check on her and she's not there. She's been gone for a while according to Deborah' I wake up alone, in my bedroom. I listen, but don't hear Quirin anywhere in our room. I notice that it's dark outside and I must have slept through the afternoon into the evening. When I sit up, I see that I'm in Quirin's t- shirt. As frustrated as I am with him, I can't help but smile. He's taking care of me, even though I'm angry and even though I've pushed him away. It's the side of Quirin that no one else sees, the side that only I ever get to see. The soft side of Quirin.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDamn, I can already feel my heart softening toward him.
I look down and rub my stomach. We need to have a conversation very soon about this pup I'm carrying. I have no idea if that will make things worse between us, but Quirin has a right to know.
I sigh, getting out of bed. I feel weak and nauseous, but I know I need to eat something. It's been almost two days since I've eaten and now I know I'm eating for two. I brush my hair, putting it in a messy bun, brush my teeth, wash my face and get dressed. I don't feel back to normal, but I do feel better.
When I open the door to the bedroom, I can smell the food. It doesn't smell as bad as it did earlier which is good. I make my way to the kitchen and see the omegas standing around looking anxious.
"How are you feeling, Luna?" Susie asksas another omega goes to the fridge and pulls out ssmall bites of food. I don't know how they know it's what I need, but I'm grateful.
"Weak. I need food. Thank you so much," I say, taking a bite of a om cracker. My stomack immediately begins growling and I take another bite, adding a slice of cheese this time. "Can we please go back to work, Luna?" Arianna asks me.
