The trip to my private plane was quiet. No one spoke. I had Dimitri on my lap and was playing with his hair. We had two cars following behind us. Five people in each car. Five of my men and Five of my brothers. I mentally sigh I really wish he would stop being overprotective.
When we arrive I have Javier and Andre check the plane. They were both kicked out of their pack because they were mates. The Alpha was a total homophobe, not to mention a jerk. I met him once when I was traveling on a business trip which is coincidentally how I met them they kind of attacked me. No biggy right except they managed to rip my favorite cashmere sweater. So in return I gave them matching scars, and offered them a place in my pack.
"It's clear Alpha," Javier said.
"Thanks Javier, Andre. Do y'all mind helping me load everything," I asked them.
"No problem A," Andre said with a smirk.
"Andre! You know I hate that nickname!" I yell at him.
"Why it works for both Artemis and Alpha," he says holding back laughter. despite how we met we are close friends and have been for nearly 10 years. I met them soon after my 16th birthday. My brother had taken me to Spain for a entire week for my birthday. I was out walking when they attacked me, ripping my favorite sweater and causing me to give them both matching scars.
"Because I know you are extremely tempted to put the 'hole' behind the 'A'," I tell him and everyone near us burst out laughing, causing me to laugh. Because I love it when my pack is laughing and happy.
When we are on the plane I grab my laptop and Dimitri's hand and sit in the nearest seat with him and my laptop. I had sent my brother out before we left to get a few things for Dimitri so he won't be bored on the plane. Because every mother knows a bored pup is a problem. I hand him a 3DS and about ten different games. "Mommy needs to do some research for a bit okay?"
"Okay mommy," he says and pops in a game.
I fire up my laptop and log in. I go through my files and come across the one I am looking for. In all caps it reads 'HALFBLOODS' I click on it. I began my research on them soon after Dimitri was born. His eighth birthday will be here soon I needed to touch up on the knowledge obtained about them.
One thing I remember more then anything about Halfbloods is they usually die soon after birth. The reason is unclear as to why. The one's that do survive don't make it past the 8th birthday. My guess is because their human side is too weak to handle the change.
While fullbloods change on their 16th birthday, halfbloods they change on their 8th. I continue to scroll down through my notes when I come across a number I have called a few times before Dimitri went missing. Each time it was out of service.
"You have a frown on," a voice jolts me out of my thoughts. I look over and see Lukis starring at me. He smiles "Your little one has fallen asleep."
I turn to Dimitri and see him curled up in a ball on the chair. I sigh and smile as I unbuckle myself and him. I pick him up an take him too the back where the beds are.
"What were you reading so intensely, regina mea?" I hadn't noticed him following me. I had been to cought up in my thoughts.
Why does he keep calling me that and What will I do if my pup doesn't survive the shift? Will I go into a blind rage again and forget everything that has happened afterwards? What if I am unable to tell friends from foes this time? My brother was there when I kill all the Rouges who attacked us causing my Pups father's death. But he won't tell me how I killed them all.
I feel a hand on my cheek and startle."Why do you shed tears, Iubirea mea?" I look at him puzzled.
"What did you call me?" I asked curiously.
He smiles "my love." he said proudly.
For the first time since Anthony I blush. I feel Dimitri move next to me and look to see him looking at me.
"Mommy why are you red, do you have a fever?" he put his little hand on my head to like he is check my temperature.
"I am sorry sweetie we didn't mean to wake you," I tell him.
"You didn't wake me mommy Hades did," he says and giggles.
I look at him puzzled and then look at Lukis and back to Dimitri. "Sweet heart who is Hades?"
"My wolf, mommy. I let him name himself. He told me he liked it. It was the name he was most fond of in the past," he," he explained.
"OH MY GOD! MY PUPS WOLF NAME IS HADES!" I yelled. "As in the Greek God Hades! God of the underworld!" I asked.
"Yes mommy," he says.
I jump up from the bed and rush to my computer and begin do as much research as possible on the Greek God Hades.
