"Update"
"She's with us, she kind of fainted"
"Why what happened!!"
"She's scared and my guessing is she's homeless"
"Not anymore"
The line died, but that was all the encouragement we needed our baby is coming home with us and I grin, she’s going to be the most spoiled girl in the country.
"Go put some clothes on before you scare her" Kane starts walking toward his truck while I turn around searching for my clothes, shifting in public is messy.
By the time we got home the rest of the pack was waiting for us, all of them excited to see the girl that got out attention. We decided to let Nala rest for the night and we'll all sit down and have a talk with her in the morning.
Kane took her up to a spare guest bedroom and tucked her in the bed covering her fragile body with some extra blankets. We did a quick search through her bag looking for any kind of comfort item, a stuffy maybe or a blankie. We found a brown old looking teddy, if she’s carrying it around it probably mean something to her, we gave her the teddy and she automatically holds it close to her chest making all of us coo at how sweet she looks.
Chapter 4-Sad Beginnings.
Christian POV
When two of my pack mates walk in holding a little angel in their arm, she looked so innocent sleeping. She could use some meat on her little bones, her clothes were hanging by a thread, and her hair messy looking. But even with all that, she was a little doll, beautiful looking even in her current state.
I got what Kyle was talking about, I felt a pull toward her, I wanted to protect her, spoil her and give her unconditional love and keep her forever.
My pack is kind of strange, we are a bunch of misfits some of us lost our true and only mates our other half and for some of us, our mate decided to reject us. Wolves like us only get one true mate for all our immortal life to know your other half don’t want you or dead. Living in infinite pain never finding peace.
But that wasn't the only weird thing about this pack, we are caregiver, a natural nutrient, we loved to take care of our other half, spoil them crazy.
The age play, daddy/little relation was perfect for us, we all dabbed into it after we hit puberty.
Puberty starts at the age of thirty, and we are a full adult at the age of fifty, ready to take our role in our pack and mate.
I once held my baby girl in my hand, told her how much I love her, and was rewarded with a big smile while she said "love you DADDY" and kissed my cheeks, nose, chin anywhere she can reach.
But fate wasn't as nice to me, my baby girl never survived puberty her first change killed her, I wasn't there to help her through it and she died all alone in the dark.
I felt a lone tear falling from my eyes, the pain in my chest aching again and again. When my beta and best mate Ryland put a hand on my shoulder and asked quietly "hey man are you okay?"
I just shook my head saying "yeah remembering some dark stuff. Where are the guys?"
With eyes full of sympathy Ryland replied "it wasn't your fault, stop blaming yourself come on we got a new baby to take care of"
Walking into the family room I see all six of my trusty pack mates, all six of whom share the same pain like mine, the reason we started this pack. It used to be just the seven of us but that was over one hundred years ago now my pack consist of two hundred wolves under my protection and power.
But it's just us living in the main house, the highest-ranked wolves the one I count my family, and with whom I'll share our new baby. We shared our pain, misery, and worst moments. We decided a long time ago if we ever get a second chance we’ll share that one too. Being in a polyamorous relation isn’t that weird in our current world.
I should mention there is two more family member but those two hardly count as adults but still, we love them as our little annoying brothers.
I'm snapped out of my thoughts for the second time in a raw when Kyle decides to start whining
"Sooooooo...the baby how should we treat? What's our game plan?"
Count on Kyle to make fun in times like this, but he got a good point of view. I don't want to scare her away none of us want that.
"We offer her a place to stay, she'll stay in the guest room till she starts to trust us, no going wolf either we don't want to send her screaming to the hills, and..."
I was cut off by loud screaming and wailing and it was coming from the guest room where my baby is sleeping, whatever is causing her screams is dead.
I barge in the room and turn the lights on, only for her to start screaming again trying to get away from me. I give to my instinct and hug her close to me, making sure that my aura is as calm as possible. Calm Dom means a calm submissive, in this case little. Thankfully my plan worked and she drifted to sleep again.
I left her sleeping in the bed and get back to my pack mates assuring them that all is under control.
Kane had a theory about her being afraid of the dark and after everything I heard and see I agree.
Nala POV
I woke up with a gasp, I look around but it's dark. I'm in an unfamiliar room sleeping on a bed that's not my sofa, this isn’t my falling shitty studio apartment. Looking around it's dark, too dark, I hate the dark. Before I can talk myself out of it I start screaming.
The bedroom door bangs open and the light is turned on. I stop my screaming for a few seconds enough to notice the person standing in the doorway. He's a giant!! A f*****g giant. I was kidn*pped by a giant.
The giant gets closer to me and I start screaming and trashing trying to get away from him but I'm caught between the sheets. He’s going to eat me, this is how I die.
Raising his hand showing me he means peace the giant gets on the bed next to me and engulfs me with his arms. I'm still scared I try to get away but he's much stronger than me. I keep fighting for a few minutes but it's a losing battle he still got me and I'm too tired to keep trying so I start to relax. Damn, he smells good like the first and pines. He smells safe.
I fall asleep feeling safe for the first time in two years. Safest I felt since I lost my parent then my home, this is pure heaven. My teddy Leo is pushed between my arms I hug him tight and get back to my peaceful sleep.
Chapter 5-Breakfast.
Jace POV
Waking up earlier than usual, I couldn’t sleep I was so excited for the day to begin. I skip to the kitchen to start breakfast. It's baby Nala's first breakfast with us and I want it to be special.
I decided to make pancakes, with chocolate chips. You can't go wrong with that and I’m sure she’ll love it, everyone loves pancakes. I decided to take advantage of being up so early, so I decided to put a batch of my famous cookies in the oven. I'm not above bribery to win the little heart, and little sugar won't hurt.
By the time I got everything ready and on the table and making sure it's perfect for the little girl, the first impression is everything. I turn around to see a scene so cute it made my heart melt.
Still rubbing her eyes sleepily with one hand and holding her teddy with the other, her hair is all messed up from sleep, there stands our baby Nala.
"Good morning sweetheart," I say with a big grin on my face and it takes all of me self-control not to run to hug and kiss her.
Nala POV
I woke up with light streaming on my face. Where am I?? I smell pancakes. Yum, when was the last time I had any, probably before my mum died. My stomach chose that moment to growl, when the last time I ate was, I can't remember.
So Nala the plan is to follow the smell and see if I can get any. Sound like a good plan in my head, nothing wrong with asking my kidnappers for food.
Walking toward the smell with Leo still in my arm, he’s my friend and protector. I reach what seems to be the kitchen, wow it put Martha Stewart kitchen to shame. A guy about 6 feet tall with broad shoulders and dark brown hair has his back turned to me while setting everything. I really wish to get some food it looks amazing. I was still eye f*****g the food when the guy turns toward me and talk. Ohh s**t what did he just said?
I mumble a good morning just to be on the safe side and his face break into a big smile, he looks handsome and I can't help but give him a shy smile.
"I'm Jace and I know you to be Nala. Now come on pumpkin let's get some yummy into your tummy" he says teasingly.
I giggle and go sit on the chair he pulled for me, I’m not saying no to food. He set a big plate in front of me with pancakes, whipped cream, strawberries, and bananas, Yuk I hate bananas, next, he asks me if I want milk or juice. "Juice please" I answer him barley a whisper but he seems to be able to hear me fine.
"Dig in pumpkin, the rest will be up soon"
I don't know who the rest he’s talking about is and I'm too hungry to care, I start eating quickly like a starved person which I probably am.
Halfway through my plate the twins walk in, dark is, even more, grumpier then I remember him to be yesterday, while the light is skipping happily he looks at me and say in a sing like voice "Morning sugar, had a good sleep"
I choke on my food first but eventually look up to say "yeah I did thank you" my voice is low again, I don't know what it is but these guys are just reeking dominance. They kidnaped me and gave me food, I probably should be worried if my food is laced with something. Isn’t this how they lurk you into their shady business?
I go back to eating only this time slower my food is almost gone and I want to flavor every last bite. I’m not sure when my next meal will be or even if I’ll get the next one.
Next, the giant gets in the kitchen I thought I was dreaming last night when a giant came in and rocked me to sleep. No it's the same guy he's not really a giant he's about 6'5 and that compared to my petit size is a giant.
For some weird reason, my brain doesn't register fear from the giant, I feel safe like nothing can hurt me with him around. I cut my own train of thoughts and shake my head he's not mine, he doesn't have to protect me, hell he's probably the one to hurt me.
He looks at me with gentle grey eyes and says "finish your breakfast baby girl when you are done we're going to talk".
He then proceeds to pour a cup of coffee black and leave the kitchen.
