Lost hope

FAMILY

4 months later:

House is done finally. Mase and Skylar are moved in. Things have been going great. We started to get more of a system going. making an official pack, we named it Shadow. I found out I was pregnant 2 weeks ago. After a few rough mornings and constant migranes, we figured out it was our pup making mama miserable.

Today is Thanksgiving. We invited a few close town people in to celebrate with us. Which, of course, means tiny, and Venus, Mrs mary. Till this day, that man's name throws me off, and a few of their friends and close relatives. Mase and Skylar have been filling out legal documents to get our pack listed and registered as a legitimate thing. We turned niko's old home to my candle store. Least this way, we have privacy, and not too many stangers are near our home.

The next project we are starting on is the nursery with the other spare rooms we have available. We decided neither of us wanted to know the s*x of the baby. Which also means a neutral color scheme . We decided that we're going to invest in a training facility, doctors, hospital, and security. Try to recrute more people to expand or town and property. With more claimed land, which means more stability, there is less chance of intruders.

Having a pup on the way, we want to take all precautions necessary. Guys feel since we staked claim and established ourselves, lone wolves, small packs, with no resources are going to want to challenge. We also need to add more resources closer, such as schools, malls, libraries, basic educational places, and hobbies. "Hey, darlin, everything alright? yea, I was just thinking about all the new progress and all the accomplishments we still need to do.

Niko rubs his the back of his fingers against my cheek. It's ok. We're gonna have a lot of tension, and some may challenge, but we got each other and can work through it. He gets down to his knees and kisses my belly. then says I know my little peanut. Your mama is a worry wart. How bout she comes in and eats, your pa won't let any danger come to you." As he stands up, I have a full grin on my face. Now that you're done conspiairing against me. Let's eat. Can you grab the buns and the pie, please? I feel a pinch on my bum. Not those buns, the actual one for our guest. As you said, we got people out there waiting, and I'm sure they're hungry as it is.

Walking out to the room, we both sit. handing out the dishes while everyone make their plates while talks of future builds, plans, and ideas. Looking out over the table, I see Niko laughing with turkey. Grease smeared on his chin, smacking Mase on the back of a joke he told. Seeing the light in his eyes makes my heart warm. He musta felt me staring as he looked over at me and gave me a cheeky grin with a silent promise. You know my love what those looks do to me. We gotta behave with everyone here . He mind links me. Who says we have to behave?

With that, he choked on his Turkey and takes a big swig of his beer. Then, he gives me a glared look in return. Looking over, I see Macie and promise hiding their faces in their cups, trying to hide their laughter. "So suga how goes the new house, and move treating ya? Mary asks me. It's going great. We finally got everything situated. As you all probably heard, we're going to be expanding our area. Not just land, but towns, training yards, etc. I did hear! that's great news! as y'all know with that comes other opticals. We're aware of that. With our new pumpkin coming, we figured it's best to move forward wth the future and bring more revenue in as well. It's an amazing idea.

It's time this old town gets a face lift, bringing new life in, helps keep more generation to come." With that, everyone cheers to new life! rest of the night was filled with laughter, jokes, and playful puns. The next morning, as per usual me and the toilet was best friends. After brushing my teeth and getting a shower, I put on a baby blue sun dress and white flip flops. Niko, Mase, Skylar was in the city to get permits to buy more land and buildings. So I decided to go to my candle shop, finish setting some things up.

Once I was satisfied, I decided to go into town and get some more food, decorations, and plants. Once there, I noticed a few people I hadn't noticed before. I'm not chucking it up as seriously as I still don't know many people. One was a wired built man with gressy hair, with a stained ripped shirt and jeans about 5'11 160 lbs his complexion looked tanned, but it was hard to tell with the dirt and oil all over his body. The second had overalls on, same dirt ripped stained clothes. He was about 6 feet, even about 250 lbs, keeping my gaze down, and they started cat calls. I ingored them again. Grabbing the stuff I needed and picking out my plants, I hurried, went up, and Chashed out. Power walking to my hummer throwing things in the back, not caring if anything gets crushed.

I hear them approaching, so I brase myself. I hear one slid his grassy fingers along my car, making it squeak. The other knocking on my hood. So pretty lady, why do you have to be a stuck-up witch and ignore us?! You think you're better than us?! No, of course not, I'm just happily taken. I try to move around them, now if you excuse me, I need to go back. The scruny one grabs my hair and sniffs it. You smell amazing, I bet you're a great thing in bed, aren't you? please leave me go! my husband won't be happy with this, I don't want trouble. Storm is suggesting we go for the family crest and limit them repopulating.

I have to agree with her. I can tell their something different. Definitely not wolves. almost like a fae. Not familiar with the types yet. At this point, I feel my eyes starting to change. I squeeze them shut to help prevent shifting. Awe, what's wrong, little girl gonna cry? c'mon cry little girl. I growl. I'm not gonna cry. I'm trying to control myself. I suggest you go or else. Else what?! at that time, the store clerk came out. HEY! what's going on here? y'all better get going if you dont want trouble. With one last push beside me and a hairsniff, the bigger one says, "Don't worry, we'll see you around."
