The love between us

Secrets are meant to be kept

Chapter Six

Bursting into Steven’s office Seeing him at his desk as always. Honey, I'm really nervous. Athena's change is really taking a toll on her. Her body looks like is suffering a lot. She sleeps so much. She’s not eating enough food either. How is she supposed to have enough energy for the change? If she does not eat food.

Honey honey calm down. Just breathe in and breathe out. She’s going to be fine. Stop stressing out. I know she will be okay sooner or later. But will she be better for tomorrow. I need her to be in tip top shape.

I need my brother to know that she is not weak. If he sees her like that. He will think that he can take advantage of her. I need her mind to be in tip top shape. As well as her body. We need to be prepared for everything.

Don’t worry honey, that we can be sure about. What we need to do is worry about her dream. She’s having dreams of twin baby girls.

She’s starting to get her memory’s back. That’s what we have to be concerned about. If she’s getting those memories back. That means she’s closed by. Have you called Jonathan yet? He has to be ready for any and everything.

Jade already did that. We are two steps ahead of you. I will stop at nothing to make sure my daughter is safe. Even if we don’t survive this she has to. Everything will be hers.

Darling we have raised a beautiful princess and a warrior. There’s nothing in this world that she can’t do. We have to have faith and believe. Let’s go darling, the bed is calling us. We are old and we do need sleep. Maybe a little loving too.

My mind can use a distraction right now. It sounds good to me, Let’s go. Running like two little kids for the ice cream truck. We shamelessly run to the room get naked as soon as we get in. Clothes are flying everywhere. I’m pretty sure I hit him with my shoe as well.

In moments like this though we didn’t even pay attention to it. Being so in the moment. Enjoying every moment making sure we stay connected this whole time. Making love like it’s our last time. That’s only because it just might be our last time. Already on the bed laying on my back watching him. It turns me on even more. Seeing him go down real slow but knowing where he’s getting at. Kissing me all the way down until he gets to my sweet spot.

Licking my lips cause I can’t help it. The night goes on and the more he does the more I enjoy it. We make love until I can’t anymore. Finally falling asleep. Dreading tomorrow cause I know everything is about to change.

Waking up actually feeling a little better than I have been. I look out the window to see that the moon is still up. Looking at the clock on my dresser I see that it’s 4:30am.

My head is still pounding a little. I realize that as I’m walking towards my bathroom the pounding is getting worse and worse. Turning on both my showers, yes I have two shower heads in my tub. I turn on the hottest water that I possibly can. Take off all my clothes and jump in. I sit down and let the water just run on my head. Sitting there I can’t take it any more. I start to rock back and forth. Goddess please help this is killing me. Please help me please. This pain is unbearable.

Just please please help me please. Then all of a sudden I hear relax and let me in. I look around but with the water flowing I can’t hardly see anything. You won’t see me darling. No matter where you look. I’m inside your head darling. I’m you!!

Still under the water I start to relax a little. Water is still burning hot, touching my skin. Relaxing my muscles now that I figured out what is going on. I close the shower door. Put the clogger in and let the water start to rise. Usually I’ll do this in the tub but today I’m extremely lazy. I put up the little safety mat that goes up on the shower door. So the water won’t go through the cracks.

Putting my body wash in the water and shaking it up so I can get some bubble action. I hear the voice again. That’s right girl just breathe and relax and let me in. It would be easier for me if you just breathe and relax.

Hello there my name is Artemis. I’m your wolf. It’s nice to finally meet you, Athena. Even though I’ve been with you your whole life. Now I’m actually with you though. Well Artemis it’s nice to finally meet you. I’m truly glad that you’re here. I move the clogger cause I see that the water is getting close to my safeguard.

Standing up I grab my scrubber and body wash. Start soaping myself up. Athena I need a huge favor from you. Do you think you can do it?Yeah I can Artemis. What do you need me to do for you?

I need you to act like I’m not here yet. Do you understand? I need you to pretend that you are still wolfess. There are a lot of things that you don’t know yet. In due time you will find out everything. I will explain it to you. For right now can you just trust me and act like I’m not here. If anyone asks you, even mother can you deny it?

Yes Artemis, if you say so and if it’s truly important. I will keep your secret. I will act like you are not here. I have a question though. When we get our wolves our scent changes.How will we hide that exactly?

Leave that to me girl. I will make sure no one can smell us. Not even the king of wolves will be able to smell us. Trust me I got your back no matter what. Okay!

Sure Artemis I trust you with all of me. Now it's time to get dressed and head down. Today my uncle and his family will be coming. I’m pretty sure my mother wants me down there to greet the guests when they get here.

Getting dressed I head down to the kitchen to get some breakfast. Mary lou is the first person I see when I walk in. Oh my dear child I’m so happy to see that you’re ok. I was worried sick but your mother said that you were fine. I wanted to check on you but she said you were resting.

My dear goddess, thank you for taking care of my child . Thank you for making sure she is safe. Mary lou I’m just in the process of my change, that's all. It’s normal as well.

I know sweetie but I’ve been taking care of you since you were a pup. I can’t help but worry about you my dear. I love you always my pup. Go ahead, get your bagel. I got you some cream cheese and jelly there on the counter. I didn’t know if you felt like eating today. I was just going to bring it up to see if you wanted it.

Thankyou Mary lou you are the best. I love you too so always remember that. Never forget it okay. Giving her a kiss on the cheek and walking away. I get me a glass of orange juice that she has out on the tray. Get my bagel and head to the table.

Good morning mom and dad. What time does uncle and the family arrive today? Around lunch time sweetie so we have a little time. Their rooms are being prepared as we speak. We also have some other pack alphas coming with some of their mates. Some are unmated as well.

So we have a little preparation to do. The yard is already being set up as we speak as well. The menu is done as well.Your dress is already here. So is your outfit to change into after. Everything is looking good right about now. We are on time for everything. So now we just relax and wait till Saturday to party.

Well that’s fine with me mom. Relaxing and taking the day off. I feel a little better but I don’t want to stress out my body. Doing a whole bunch of things.

How are you feeling, my sweet girl?. Did you get your wolf yet? I look at mom. I feel a little bad about lying to her. I do it anyway because Artemis asked me too. No mom I didn’t. Not yet anyway. I’m sure it will happen soon though.

Walking away to put my cup in the sink. See you later guys I’m going to go to the gym for a few. I feel like I need a little run. Going up to my room to change my clothes. So that I can make my way to our gym. It’s not a bad gym. Most guys in the pack go there after training if they want to do a little more.

I do need a little run though. Changing my clothes I head out the door again. Everyone is in school right now. So I’m all alone in this big pack house. I bump into Edward.

Where you heading to little pup. Need a big bad wolf by your side. Bursting into laughter before answering him. Man, I can drop you on your knees in a blink of an eye. You really think I need you to protect me. News flash I don’t.

Yeah yeah I know warrior princess and all that. See you later little pup.Got big wolf things to do you know. Yeah I know see you later. Walking into the gym I get started on the treadmill. I meant it when I said I needed a run. That’s just because of me dear. Try not to run too fast; it might make me shift. Just take it light and easy. Keep your eyes open to your surroundings at all times. Enjoy your run.That you, I will try my best to stay at a steady pace okay.

I stood there for about an hour and a half. It was a great run. Wiping down the machines after I’m done I get a mind link. Sweetie, are you still at the gym? Your uncle and the family should be here in an hour and you should start getting ready. Also Sheila is looking for you. I sent her down to the gym. So you should be seeing her soon. Hurry up and get ready.

Walking out the gym I bump right into Shell. Hey there mom just told me you were looking for me. What’s going on? Why were you just running? Where’s the fire?

Girl, I've been looking for you everywhere. Why were you here? Do you feel better already? Do you have your wolf? What’s her name? Last but not least do you want to get punched in the face?

Girl, have you lost your damn mind? Why are you asking me twenty one questions? You are the one that got all sick. Gets better and doesn’t even let anyone know. Then I found out you were in a gym. How do you think that makes me feel?

Chill out girlfriend. I'm feeling a little better. No, I don't have my wolf yet. I don’t have that much time left though. I mean my birthday is in two days. Bound to happen one way or another.I have to go up and get ready. Are you coming with,or are you already done?

I’m not ready yet, besides I already have my clothes in your room. So let's go. While you shower I’ll be getting dressed. She says as we start walking towards my room. While walking up the stairs,Shell decides to tell me about her outfit. I’m just smiling though not paying attention. I can’t explain it but I have a funny feeling.

We made it upstairs and into my room. I jump in the shower while Sheila gets dressed. Making sure to wash myself using my lavender aloe body wash. It smells like everything to me. It also calms me down. Washing myself off I get out and grab my towel.

I’m not wearing anything special today. Just a pair of jeans and a nice shirt to go with. As I’m getting dressed Sheila asks me what I’m doing to my hair. I just stare in the mirror cause I have no idea. My hair is long and beautiful jet black. I’m not a bad looking girl. I mean I work out. I’m top of my class and Im’m pretty tall. I sit down in front of my vanity and start to blow dry my hair. I’m just going to leave it flat. Saturday it will look good so I don’t really need to out due myself today.

As I’m finishing up with my hair Sheila pulls out all the makeup. Now I don't really like makeup. But I do let her fix my face when she wants to. I don’t know how to mess with none of this stuff. Sheila on the other hand is a goddess when it comes to it.

She does my makeup and we finish just in time to head downstairs. As we walk out my room I get a mindlink from my father. Darling it’s time to come down. Your uncle should be here any minute. I’m coming down right now dad. On my way down already.
