Astrid-
I have a massive headache. Jesus. What did I do? I feel like I can’t even open my eyes. Every limb feels so heavy. I can’t move a single muscle.
What was that? Is someone talking? I don’t recognize that voice. Where is Seb?! I forced my eyes open. I noticed an older woman and man sitting beside me with wide eyes.
“Oh honey! You are awake. How do you feel? Do you need some water?”
“Give her a minute to wake up fully, Molly. Hello darling. I am Richard and this is Molly. We are Seb and Sed’s parents. You’ll meet William, their other dad soon.”
“Hello, where is Seb? He promised to not leave me.”
“He is on his way back right now. He went for a run to clear his mind. He had a talk with Sed.”
“Ah, he probably did need to get away. I should make him some tea to help him relax. He gets very agitated when he talks about Sedrick. Not that I blame him. He is kinda mean to me.”
“Yes, he is. We are so sorry that our poor excuse of a son did that to you. Please forgive us.”
“There is nothing to forgive you for. You have no control over your sons actions. I can’t wait to get to know you two better though and William.”
“We can’t wait to get to know you too, darling. I have always wanted a little girl and now I do.”
Richard just melted my heart! They remind me so much of my parents. I miss them deeply. If only they were here right now to see all of this.
I smell Seb before I see him. He looks so good. Covered in sweat and breathing hard.
“Baby, you’re up!I didn’t think you’d be up so soon. I am so sorry!”
“Shush, your parents have been wonderful company. I am glad that I got to meet them.”
“She is perfect. You are going to make a great Luna, my dear.”
“Thank you, Molly. Can I make you all something to drink or eat? I feel bad that you had to wake so early to come here.”
“Don’t you date get up! I will go make us all some breakfast. Maybe we could eat around the table like old times.”
“We would love that! Thank you!”
Molly and Richard went out to a kitchen somewhere I assume to make breakfast. I turned my head to look at my wonderful mate. He is so good looking. Why is that all that I can think of? This is ridiculous.
“It’s normal to be only able to think of your mate in a s****l manner after marking each other.”
“What! How did you know that I was thinking about that?”
“You are blushing and looking me up and down. I wish I could ravage you too. You are not alone.”
“Why do we feel like this?”
“Well I guess it is to solidify the bond more. The more intimate you are the more likely you are to fall in love or make a pup.”
“You seem to want pups awfully bad. How old are you?” I can’t help but giggle. I have let this man claim men and I don’t know how old he is or his middle name.
“I am 24. That’s old in werewolf years to not have a pup or two by now.”
“A pup or two?! You guys waste no time!” I am acting shocked but really it has always been my dream to have a big family and be a stay-at-home mom. I have always wanted to spend summers by the pool watching my kids splash around.
“I am going to go take a quick shower and then we can go have some breakfast with mom and dad.”
“Okay, I wish I had some clothes to change into.”
“You do! I packed up some of your belongings before we left your house. I hope you don’t mind. I just didn’t know what Seb would do and I need to know that you are safe.”
“I don’t mind but I do need to go home and harvest the last of my herbs before they die. Are you planning on me living here?”
“I would love for you to live here. If you want to that is.”
“Can I let you know?”
“Absolutely baby.”
I decided to get up and look at the my suitcase. He did a pretty good packing things up but I noticed that he didn’t grab any of my shoes. Silly man! Good thing my sandals go with pretty much everything. I picked a pair of leggings and a long flowy tunic.
I wandered out to what looks like a living room and and kitchen area is connected to it. Molly and Richard are in the kitchen giggling and make pancakes. It all smells so good. I didn’t realize that I was so hungry.
“Come on over, doll!” Molly seems like such a wonderful mother. I bet the twins grew up in a really loving home.
I went over to the table that was preset with plates and glasses. There was bacon, biscuits, pancakes, sausage and gravy, and oj. It all looked and smelled wonderful. I missed home cooking so much. I didn’t ever cook much since it was just me at home before. Baking, yes, but straight up cooking large meals, no. I think I am going to have to get back in the swing of doing large cookings.
“Thank you for making all of this. It’s so sweet of you. I wish I could have helped you.”
“It was no trouble at all. Go ahead and make your plate.”
Molly turned to talk to Richard and I heard ask if they should invite Sed over. “Go ahead and ask him to come to breakfast. We all live in the same house so we should start to get along and move on, right?”
“Yes, I suppose you are correct, Astrid.” I watched as Molly’s eyes glazed over. She must be mind linking him. Judging from her face, I think they are arguing. This can’t be good.
