the Mistake

the Pups

I awoke to burning up, but I couldn't move. Cracking my eyes open, I came face to face with my capture. "Hey, hey, WAKE UP!!" I probably shouldn't have yelled, but oh well. He was up in a flash and I am already running to the bathroom before he could catch me. When I came back, he is back on the bed cuddled in a ball. He looks adorable like this, too bad. I took off running and jumped on his back. "UUff. Did you really need to jump on me?" He said flipping us over so he's on top smiling at me.

"It looks great." He touched my neck gently. I completely forgot about him doing it last night. Looking up at his, I wondered if mine looks the same as his. "What does it look like? Is it like yours." He started smiling at me, like he was reminiscing in the memories. Pushing him I ran into the bathroom to the mirror. It looked absolutely beautiful, it is like his. It has his wolf with his initials, while his has mine with my initials. "They look great, the best I've seen so far. I'm glad we decided to do this, and our packs will also be as one tonight." He had this grin on his face that I vowed to always see it.

"Yes my love. Speaking of which we need to get dressed. We have a lot of important things to do today." I got dressed quickly and headed to my office. I needed to make a few last minute calls before we leave. The first is sending some of the pack to work on the house, then a few calls about the ceremony tonight. "Hey, come on it's eight." Ernir stepped in my office. His presence alone can calm me completely, and for that I'm glad. Everything is so stressful right now, and I'm glad he's with me. "What's this?" Looking up, I saw the blueprints in his hands. I can't believe I forgot and left them out.

"It was supposed to be a surprise. It's the house I planned to build it while you are helping Alexi. Now that you know I guess it's pointless." I can't believe it's ruined. We could always build a house together, but I worked so hard on this. He wrapped his arms around me while still looking at the other drawing, and stopped on the one of the window. "We will build this house together. The window looks amazing, and I love the idea of adding our little ones. You did great with these, I'm proud of you lilti ulfur." His words brought back my excitement once more. We could do this together, and it would mean a lot more.

"I love that idea. Why don't we start once we get back. I already have a few starting on it today." I kissed him, and ran out the door. I don't know why, but chase has become our thing kinda. I could hear him not to far behind me, making me speed up. Turning around, I stopped dead in my tracks, he is no longer there. "BOO!" screaming I turned around to be face to face with Ernir. How did he even get around me without me knowing, I was running too fast for him to. He saw my confused look and started laughing, I swear he laughs at the worst times.

"When we mated I gained your powers. I just found out since I just teleported to here. I don't see how you don't do it all the time, it feels great." I'm going to need to get in contact with Johanna. She will be able to answer this, and if what he says is true, then Dex and Dimitri should be able to get their powers when they mate a well. We will be an unstoppable force for anything, it's good too since the witches after Ernirs pack may come after us. "This is great news. This also could mean that Dex and Dimitri will too, since Violet and Valencias are my cousins. This could help, because your sister thinks the witches are bad." I stopped to see him giving me a weird look.

I completely forgot that I hadn't told him about our conversation last night. "Well we discussed the witches in my office. Your sister seems to think they may go to war with us. My trusted witches talked and we discovered they practice a magick that is outlawed in the community. They think that they will try to attack us, but I'm going to set up a meeting once all of our people are here. I would have told you last night,but I forgot." Once I finished he seemed to be deep in thought. I tried to reach in his head, but he had me blocked out. This is the first time he's ever done that, and I wonder why. "We need to get them out and fast. I have a bad feeling about all of it. Let's go now." With that everyone teleported over.

Once we got there, I took a great look around. This place is full of hut like homes and everywhere is farmland. It looks as if we stepped back in time to get here. "It's beautiful here Ernir, I'll make sure we have these huts and farms are built back home. I would like to keep as much of your traditions alive and well." He simply turned and smiled. Still acting strange from earlier, I will need to talk to him later about it. Nodding to the group, we begin to send over people, animals, and buildings. In about three hours we have gotten the western side almost finished.

"Ernir why don't we stay here love. We could continue through the night." I smile at him, hoping he'll agree to my plans. If we do stay, then everything will be getting done a lot quicker. I also wish to snoop around and find out what he is hiding from me. "We can't." That's all he said before walking out of the main hall. We did have the ceremony tonight, but with my magick I can easily transport us back here. I need to find him, and discuss this, it can no longer wait. Running after him, he seems to just completely vanish, not even his scent is traceable. Use our senses, we can do a lot more than you realize. Listening to Volva, I relaxed and opened up myself.

Within seconds, I have his exact location. Wasting no time, I transport myself three miles north of Ernir's borders. I masked my scent before hand incase we need to be hidden. Perched upon a branch, I scan the area for him or anything else. Not believing my eyes, I rub them, yet here he still is with another woman in his arms. Letting my temper get the best of me, I rush forward and I already have her against a tree. Her eyes seemed to be black pools of nothing, and she seemed to be empty but yet alive. "Who are you, and why were you in my mates arms." Volva seemed to merge with me completely as if we are completely one.

"Willona let her go, she means no harm." Ernir's voice seemed to feed my anger. I'm hurt yet again, for this is the second time a mate has betrayed me. Pushing my feelings towards him, I noticed he began to get angry. "It isn't what you think. I'm angered that you would think that of me." How could I not think this. He met her in secret and wrapped in eachothers arms. Letting her go, I turned to Ernir with a hate filled look. "There is no other way to see it mate." I made sure to make the mate sound venomous. The word hurt to even say now, not one but two mates have betrayed me in the worst ways.

"I will be leaving, you can stay here with your people. The ones who MY pack has taken over will be brought back. I will also find a way to remove..." Before I could finish the last sentence, he already had me slammed into a tree and covering my mouth. A mixture of hurt, anger, and sadness are swirling around in his eyes. "No please do not say these things. She is my half sister. No one knew of her existence, besides her mother and our father. It is why I came in secret, and there is more to the witches being at war with us. Sit and we will tell you." I now feel horrible for accusing Ernir of betrayal, so I sat down quickly awaiting them to start.

"Firstly this is Siggy, her mother long long ago was with my father. When he found his mate, she became heartbroken and sought out revenge. When Annalise and I was born, she decided to attack. She spelled some rouges and caught my mother alone, you can fill in what happened to her. My father became depressed, so Birka took her shot. She quickly became pregnant with Siggy, but my father wasn't happen at all. If anything he became worse and neglected Birka and Siggy. Birka began to demand being his female and Alpha female. Our father refused, so Birka turned to darker magick to make him do things. In the end, my father died protected me and Birka died as well. Before she died, she turned all the witches in this area like Siggy, soulless." By the end of the story, Ernir had Siggy cuddled into his side yet again.

Their story broke my heart, and I now knew why he blocked me out and acting strangely. "I will talk to the witches, my cousins, and my brother. We will find a way to turn them back and maybe your sister can lead the witches here. It is both of your fathers land." He seemed to agree with me, while Siggy just nodded. We stayed here a bit longer, me getting to know Siggy and the rest of their history. "Ernir it's six now, we need to get going. It was lovely meeting you Siggy, we will be back tomorrow and I'll bring more people. We will get everything situated." Nodding, she disappeared, kinda how I do, but more of smoke leaving. Ernir stood and hugged me, I'm glad we're back to normal once again. "Come on love, this time I'm teleporting." Giggling I intertwined our fingers, and we set off to meet back up with the others.

"Where have you two been? We got the rest of the western side and half of the southern." Dex came to inform us. We agreed to not tell anyone about his sister just yet,until we find a way to help her and the others. "We were just walking around and talking. Didn't mean to leave all the work to you guys. Our apologies." I tried not to laugh when Ernir rolled his eyes. The more we got to know each other the more goofy we became. I know he hated when I spoke formal and proper, but I had to sometimes. Looking around, I can see they've been working hard and that makes me proud of my pack, me and Ernir's pack. Looking to him, I could see he held a proud look as well.

"We should start heading back. The pack is awaiting their new pack mates, and their Alpha male." With that everyone got back into their groups to leave. Ernir started pulling at my arm for me to come closer, "I'm starting to love you, your absolutely perfect. I'm ready to start this life with you and soon to be child." Ernir has a certain way with words that makes me love him even more. I could see that he has placed his hand on my flat stomach. Soon we will have a little one and I know they will grow up very strong. "I am too my love. I can not wait either." I placed my hand over his that is still on my stomach. This man makes me extremely happy and I'm proud that he is mine.

Getting back to the pack house, Arabella, Violet, Annalie, Kasey, and I are rushed into a big room. This is where we have to spend the next couple of hours getting ready. I rushed to my room to take a hower first, I knew they wouldn't mind since I did need one. Thirty minutes later, I am rushing back down the room. Annalise starts on my makeup, while Violet does Kaseys. Once I get finished, Arabella rushes over to curl my hair. Another hour later I look at myself in the mirror, I have accents of gold and silver through my hair and makeup. Now is the time for the gowns, they're all made to look like goddesses with silver and gold jewelry. Now we just have to wait for the music to start, I have chosen Nordic songs in honor of Ernir.

Five minutes tops and the music starts to play. With my heart pounding and my palms sweaty, I head out towards the stage. Smiling to my pack members, I head straight for the center where the chalice is. Ernir soon emerges with Dex, Alexi, and Joey following behind him. "Hello everyone, you all know that we will begin the merging ceremony. I would like to present your Alpha male, Ernir, please come up here." Quickly I cut his palm and added it into the chalice, making the pack start to come alive. Smiling at Ernir I raise the chalice, "With this I now merge two packs into one." Drinking it, the pack goes wild with excitement. I can already feel the packs coming together and Ernir becoming my Alpha male.

"Let the feast begin!" I hollered out to the crowds. The feast is supposed to go all night and into the morning. Everyone is already dancing and chatting about, the children will be going to be within an hour so that's when the party will start to get more exciting and we'll shift. "How does it feel my Alpha?" I questioned Ernir, adding a bow when I said Alpha. I knew how much he didn't like me being formal with him, but I couldn't help teasing him. "You know your my litli Alpha ulfur too. Come here I want a kiss."When our lips met, our pack goes completely wild. This is the first time the pack has seen us display affection, other than hugging and holding hands. We both pulled back with smiles, happy that this is our life.

Ernir and I took our seats at the head of the feasting table and watched over our people. It felt great to say our. "Hey how you two feel? Your completely mated and now Alphas together. Honestly nothing can go wrong now, and when is the baby news going to come?" Annalise seemed just as bubbly as ever, and I couldn't help thinking if she knew about Siggy or not. Ernir grabbed my hand quickly, causing me to look at his tern look. I'm guessing that's his way of saying she doesn't know. "Life is great honestly, and being able to share everything with him is completely worth it. As for the baby, it'll have to wait for a bit. We have so much to do right now, right Ernir." He simply nodded, but I caught the sad look. He knew we had to wait on our munchkin until we get things with Siggy right.

It is now ten o'clock and the mothers decided it is the perfect time to put the children to sleep. Ernir went to help Annalise with her three babies, so I decided to go have a look at the house. "I will be back, I'm going to go see how much of the house is done." I let Alexi know just in case anyone needed me. I went with only walking so I could just enjoy nature and peace. The fireflies seemed to light up the way perfectly, and soothed me. I need to remember to take walks, things have been so stressful that I forgotten that I need to. The walk came shorter since I was thinking the whole time here. The full moon lit the area perfectly, like something out of a movie.

Looking around, I can see that the workers are piecing together the window to the left of the site. They've managed to get the whole base level built, besides the inselation. I may stay back from the run to work on this, I would love for it to be finished quickly. The sense of another presence caught my attention, then the intruders arm snaking around my waist. I instantly knew it was my mate, even without the tingles and their alluring scent. "It looks great so far, oh the windows." He is looking around with this amazed look. I'm hoping to make this house our families house that will be passed down through our generations. I plan to add on to it as well, possible make it the Alpha, Beta, and Gamma home.

"I plan to make it absolutely huge, and considering making it the Alpha,Beta, and Gamma house. Like a castle and each family has their own section. Would you like that?" I questioned Ernir on my plan. I did want to build a big house for us, and it doesn't have to me a castle per say. Maybe a chatue or palace would be the proper names for the home. "I think that would be a great idea. I would love to have stained glass windows for our family still, or painting made once we run out of windows. Would you like to stay back and work on it?" This man knew me better than anything. Quickly nodding, we got to work. Ernir took to expanding the length and width of the home, while I redid the sketches.

We decided that each family will have their own library, it will hold their records, family history, and anything they deem important. They will also have floor to ceiling windows that will be turned into stained glass portraits of the families. By two a.m we have tripled the size of the base level so far. "Are you ready for bed? We need to be ready by eight to head back over to get the rest of the pack. Ernir? Ernir do you hear me?" Walking over to him was definitely a bad idea. As soon as I am a few feet away he turned and slung paint all over me. How he even found it amazed me. I ran at him fullforce, only for him to teleport behind me. Good thing he did, because I began to fall forward until he grabbed me. "You need to be more careful lilti ulfur, can't have you getting hurt now can you." He spoke to me in a baby that made me giggle.

He opted for carrying me the rest of the way to the pack house. I could have easily walked, but ' you just almost fell. I need to carry you.' is what he keeps reminding me. I am quite tired, so I didn't complain too much about it. Plus he's comfy and I could fall asleep right here and now. "Sleep darling. You've been up since eight yesterday morning." He didn't need to tell me twice before my eyes closed. Nothing in this world could change this, I have everything I could ever ask for. I felt as though nothing could go wrong, or so I thought.
