The Last Water Phoenix

Ch 5 Alexandra

He might have apologized, but he was still an asshole in her eyes. She mind-link her mother, are you sure this is a good idea. "Yes, it's who your father wanted us to see. Maybe he's seen him. I think we will be safe here for now." She said

What with the grumpy meat head. Mother laughed. "He might have his reason he's the way he is, dont judge." She said. Don't judge him. He judged us. We are outsiders, remember not trustworthy, we must leave. "Alex, come on, give it a chance. I need to rest for a few days. " Mother said

Okay, for you, she'll try. They repacked their bags and headed for the door. Raven came towards her. "We just need to drive a short distance to the boat. that takes us to the pack," She said

What about the car? "Well, fix it might take a week or so but will be like new. " Gio said.

Oh, thank you. That's good of you. "No problem, it's what we do," Gio said.

She didn't ask anymore. It wasn't her business to know. We were only staying a few days so mother could rest and meet this councilman her father wanted help from. They all climbed into a big car. Curiosity got the better of her. Do you not all live here?.

"No, it's our forest house. For visiting packs, mating ball, functions. You can't get to our pack by car only boat. That's how we like it strangers or the enemy can't attack us easily. " Tristan said.

She huffed no wonder you didn't want us here. He didn't say anything. "Where had you'd driven from?" Gio asked.

A hotel about 4 hours away, we stopped off for food and rest for mom. We knew her due date was approaching. She needed to get her to the council estate and meet this councilman, but her brother had other ideas. Her mother smiled. "Inpatient like his big sister. " Mom said.

We got out of the car. It was a huge jet boat waiting for us at the dock. Who's is that? "Mine?" Tristan said. She swollen okay he's rich she said to herself. Garret and Gio put all the bags on the boat. Raven helped herself and her mother on the boat. Tristan was saying goodbye to Killian he was taking the car back. She gets it no trails for anyone driving to the dock

"Do you both get travel sickness?" Tristan asked.

No, we are fine, thank you." Okay, well, sit up front if you do." Tristan responded. It was very beautiful. The river was black but not dirty black, just dark. She was looking around at the tree, completely covered the river view. Then she saw the pack. It was a round island. The buildings were black. it was dark, but not gloomy or depressing was nice, actually.She heard Garret making a phone call informing someone about our arrival.

She saw Tristan watching her and clearly wanted to know what she thought. She just kept on looking around. They got off, and he passed the keys on to someone else. He drove it around the corner of the island. "He's taking it to the dock yard. it's where all the boat stays out of sight," He said.

Okay. We jumped in another car. It did look walking distance, but she guessed with all their bags. We drove up the Lane. You could see many houses, buildings, kids playing, people working it was nice. How she remembered her home pack.

We pulled up outside these huge steps. Two people were waiting and looked like Tristan, so it must be his parents. We got out, and she helped her mother out.We all walked towards them.

"Brooke, Alexandra, these are my parents Alpha Titus and Luna Elizabeth. Mother father, this Brooke, Alexandra or Alex and baby Blake." He said .

"It nice to meet you," Elizabeth said.

"You too, thank you for welcoming us into your pack and home. I appreciate it, " Mom said. Yes, her too.

"How are you feeling?" Elizabeth said. Touching Blakes head.

"I'm fine luna thank you. I'm just tired. It's been a long couple of days, but Raven here has looked after me. She's been wonderful. All have, " Mom said. She huffed. Mom gave her a scowl. "Sorry, my apologies." Alex said.

Elizabeth smiled. "I guess my son hasnt been how I raised him," Elizabeth said, looking at her son with disapproval.

"Come let me show you two to your rooms it's a 2 bedroom suite. so you are together but have your own privacy, " Elizabeth said.

Thank you. We followed her to the 5th floor of the pack house it was so different from the outside. It was so bright and light. It had a lift in the middle of the foyer and stairs at the sides. It had 5 floors. It was very open it surprised her how private they were it was not giving that opinion inside.

"Yes, very different to what you would expect. It's dark outside to match the darkness of the lake and forest. To hide us from those that mean us harm. I wanted to be inside to be bright and open welcoming when anyone can live here. Everyone is very nice here. No one will treat you badly. " Elizabeth said

Thank you. we've not always experienced kindness. Her mom squeezed her hand. Elizabeth took them in the lift to the 5th floor. Oh no, that is the Alpha floor. "Yes, it is but at Trevor. request he wants you to be comfortable and safe here," She said

"That's very kind but not necessary." Mom said.

"It is my father inlaw. It is one of my favourite people. If he's said you should have this suite, then you are. Plus, I get to be closer to a baby. I love them. "She said, touching Blake head again.

Mom passed him over, and Elizabeth beamed bright. We walked into the living area. It was bright lemon and white colours. TV, Sofa, coffee table. Large bright windows with blinds and curtains. A small dining table to the side. She walked us through the right door to the dining table where they was a kitchen.

"I had it fully stocked with everything and anything, especially if you didn't feel comfortable going into the dining hall straight away. Baby formula aswel, I didn't know what you were doing?" Elizabeth asked.

"A bit of both, really. Alex said she wanted to help me where she could, " Mom said

She does. "Oh, I can get you a breast pump if that would be helpful," Elizabeth said. Mom smiles, that would be nice, thankyou mom said.

Elizabeth pointed to the next door. It was large. The walls were peach colour and grey carpets. A very large bed, which has piles of clothing on it and shoes. "It can get a little cold here at night. I didn't know what you had brought with you. If you put all the clothes down, this shoots. The omegas will clean them for you. The bathroom is through that door, and it's fill of towels and toiletries ready for you. " Elizabeth said.

Thank you, luna Elizabeth. You are very sweet. "Your welcome we haven't had guests for a while gives me a reason to spoil," She said.

We headed back through the living area into mom's room. It was the same decoration as mine but was full of gifts. Mom was crying. It had a cot, pram, baby toys, clothes, and items for mom like mine. "Please don't cry, I didn't mean to make you sad," Elizabeth said.

"No, you haven't. Thank you it's just been a long time since we've had things we mostly travel to light. " Mom said.

"You're most welcome. Trevor isn't arriving till tomorrow. Why don't you have an evening to yourselves. Settle in, and we can all talk tomorrow. " She said.

Yes, she thinks that would be good. Elizabeth left. She's very nice. Mom nodded, still a little speechless. Well, since we are here, we might aswel get our clothing washed. Mom nodded. Mom, go sit down with Blake. Give him a feed she'll, sort everything. Mom just nodded again. She was feeling over whelmed. Right, let's get to it.

She went back to her room. Unpack her clothes and cleaned stuff she hung up with the new things she was given. Put her dirty stuff in a laundry bag with her name on down the sĥoot. They were a few dresses. She'd not worn a dress in years. Put her personal belonging out not that she had much. A small makeup bag, a small jewellery box, and a couple of bags and shoes.

She went back through the living area, and her mother was asleep on the sofa. She headed for her room and looked through the babies stuff. She saw a bassinet. She put a blanket in it. Headed back to the living area and placed her baby brother, who was fast out of milk drunk, brother in the bassinet. She covered her mom with a blanket.

She emptied her mother clothing into the dirty shoot. Put her personal stuff next to bed, and she would decided where she wanted them. Hung her new clothing up and well Blake clothing. She built the cot and prom. She was quiet handy when she wanted to be her father, always taught why get someone else to do something that you could try yourselves.

She heard a very gentle knock at the door it was a tiny woman with golden brown hair. "Hello, sorry to disturb you, but I wanted to introduce myself. I'm Martina. I'm the beta Garret mate. I just wanted to know if you needed anything. " She asked.

Oh, hello. "I'm Alex." No, we are fine her mom is asleep on the sofa. "Do you need someone to come build the cot and pram?" Martina asked. No, she done it herself. Martina smiles. "Great, well, she'll talk to you tomorrow. Have a good evening. " She said and left.

Nice girl. She shut the door but not before. She noticed two doors up from her was Alpha Tristan. Why isn't he in a huge suite. He's the Alpha. She headed to the kitchen and made her and her mother a meal just as she finished. Mom woke. We ate at the dining table. Blake was still asleep

"I'll wash up, you cooked." Mom said. She heard another knock at the door. She opened it to Alpha Tristan. Hello Alpha, what can she do for you? He smiled. "Hello, Alex," he said, smiling.
