Not Claimed Yet

Jealous Maybe

Richard's pov. (continued)

"Okay I'm thirsty now. What you say to a glass of juice?" Winter asks Lilly. "I'm thirsty too mommy..mommy's too fast...next time give Lilly a head start!" Lilly states breathlessly. Julious and I both laugh out loud. I couldn't help myself. They were just too darn cute. I could sit and watch that s**t all day long. That's the good stuff right there. That's what's been missing in my life. A man could get used to this. "I need a juice too mommy." Julious asks Winter. Winter froze face flushed. "We didn't know you two were back Alpha." She heads to the fridge. I'll take it she's embarrassed to be caught kidding around...but I cant say I minded at all. "Daddy! I'm glad your home I missed you very badly." Lilly runs and hugs me I pick her up and set her on the kitchen stool at the island for her juice. "Daddy missed you too..I thought about you all day. Did you like your flowers.?" I kiss her hair. She giggles nods and drinks her juice. "That's quite a tackle you have Luna." I say. I was impressed with that mid air tackle. Most mothers are too gentle with their pup's not understanding our pup's are stronger than human's and and can be ruff housed with it's good pup training. "We we're just fooling around is all..having pup's young helps me to stay active with them in play..its good for their social being." She tells me in a low voice. "Well me an Julious here assure you we enjoyed watching the two of you..it was quite comical." She turned away putting the juice up trying to hide her blushing cheeks. "Forgive me..but may I ask why it is you were training with the other pack warrior wolves?" I ask truly intrigued. Its not common for female's to even be aloud to train much less as a warrior wolf. I was stunned when I heard this detail. Silence..."I called from time to time and inquired about you from Alpha Ryan..he never mentioned the pup's though..odd dont ya think?" I dont wont to aggravate her but there's something's I've been wondering. "I was weak. Lola said we needed training to protect our pup's. So I then spoke with Alpha Ryan and he agreed that me not being rejected or claimed by our mate did in fact make me their sole protector. He offered us his protection Alpha..and I kindly declined his offer. As for the pup's I do not know why he would not mention the pup's..I never knew you called." She heads up stairs the pup's follow I want to ask more but I could tell it's a touchy subject for her and I can get the answers from another source for now. I run my hands through my hair. Why would Alpha Ryan offer my Luna his protection? Yea,we offer the pack are protection as a whole but to offer personal protection is something wolves give their mate and pup's. Meaning we'll lay our lives down for them. I know I have no rights to be mad in this situation. I let her leave. Thank Goddess I have her and the pup's back in Mongolian pack I cant imagine what that Alpha steamed up if he's offering another man's mate his life. I'm their sole protector. Nobody else has that right to claim. It makes my wolf want to hunt down the bastard and behead him for just the thought of trampeling on my territory. I head to my office I will call my beta and have him get me some details I have people inside everywhere. I need to know how close he was to my Luna. From what he offered I have a feeling he has feelings for what's not his but mine. I need to know where all my enemy's lurk and always be prepared to strike when neccessary. I will kill for my Luna and my pup's and so would my pack.

Winter's pov.

At dinner time I see we have a guest when the pup's and I arrive at the table and take our seats. Its Luna Ann..Richard's mother. "Winter!" She hurriedly hugs me. "I'm so happy of your return! Your so beautiful look at you..so sweet. Now I must see my grandpups." I don't even have an opportunity to thank her before she's started in on the pup's. "Julious..look at you..you look just like your father when he was that age. I have the pictures to prove it." She giggles. We all laugh. He does look of his father. "Thank you and are you fathers mother?" Julious asks curiously. "I'm your grandma" she smiles brightly. "Lilly..I've not seen such cuteness with all my years..just look at you..so pretty my girl." Luna Ann then says "Come now..let's eat." I stole a few glances at Richard and he's set back and observed this whole introduction not saying a word just observing his mother with a love I know from my own mother. He's solemnly happy. She tells us stories of when Richard was a boy. She asks the pup's loads of questions for their likes and dislikes. Richard remains quiet but highly interested in everyone's answers as though he's taking mental notes. Also men don't typically think to ask favorite colors or food off hand. "When have you decided to announce Luna my dear Winter?" Luna Ann asks. I almost choke I wasn't expecting to be put on the spot I think my throats in a vice I suddenly feel I cant speak. I open my mouth to speak but still nothing comes out. I don't know how to answer her question. I need more time. I'm not ready yet..I'm broken and not sure where my pieces lie. "Dont worry mother. I'm giving us a little time but she will be Luna." Richard says to her. I nod. I cant believe I nod. Agreeing makes it seem real I am his..we are.. I've known it..its still a different wake up call when you actually admit it.....
