The night after we graduated I went to bed before Roman, I was so tired, didn't help that we "napped" for a few hours. I'm going to be really sore tomorrow in the most delicious way. Roman was working in his home office downstairs, his is next to his dad's. The only way he would agree to work there, is if Tori stayed with me.
Before I fell asleep we talked about our pasts, I told her funny stories from growing up in Alaska with my Tia. I think she laughed the hardest when I told her the story about how a moose once followed me down the street.
She almost made me pee, telling me about how once when Zack made her so mad she dyed his hair neon pink in his sleep, they had picture day the next day and she made sure he was late the next day so on top of being neon pink he was sporting major bedhead, she also used waterproof makeup to "make him pretty." "Sadly he destroyed all the pictures," she tells me with a sad sigh. She told me another item she got all his underwear and froze them into a huge block of ice. "I dont see why he was so mad I gave him new ones with the days of the week on them," she said and I laughed so hard I cried.
It was around 8:30 when I fell asleep I think.ROMAN'S POV
"Man that took forever," I yawn and stretch.
Sam stretches next to me yawning as well, "what do you expect when you neglect your paperwork for that long."
"I know I know," I say with another yawn.
When we get to my room we find the the girls curled up together on the love sac (you know one of those giant beanbags). We look at each other and pull out our phones, after we take pictures of our girls Sam picks up Tori, making her wake with a start. See its him she kisses his jaw and snuggles into him falling back to sleep.
Smiling Sam says, "goodnight," and heads home.
Turning to my beautiful mate, I lift her into my arms, she only snuggles closer to me not even waking, her contented sigh sends warmth throughout my body.
I know she said that the Goddess told her that there maybe a time that they take her from me, and I will have to let it happen, but I can't. I dont have it in me to just not fight. How can the Goddess just expect that of me?
Laying her down I cover her up, then moving to the other side of the bed I strip down to my boxers. I climb into bed pulling Ivy close to me, kissing the top of her head I close my eyes and fall asleep.
I know I'm dreaming, I wouldn't be out here in the middle of the woods at night, not with things being how they are, I wouldn't leave Ivy alone.
I do a slow turn, sniffing trying to catch the scents around me. As I'm turning a bright moonbeam catches my eye, The Goddess steps forward out of the moonbeam. I bow my head in a sign of respect, then I ask what I desperately need to know. "Forgive my impertinence but I need to know, how can you expect me to let them take my mate from me!" I didn't mean to but I shouted towards the end of my question. My eyes started to water from repressed rage, "I'm sorry it's just how do you just let someone take half of you and do nothing?"
The moon Goddess gives me a knowing nod, "I understand my child, but if do not heed my warnings, the losses will be great. I'm not just referring to your life, but hers and the lives within that she carries as well. Not to mention the many lives that would also be forfeited in the battle that would take place."
I think I'm still stuck on the fact that she just said my mate is pregnant.
Seeing that I'm a bit stuck she giggles at me, just trust things will happen as they should, she is one of mine now also, I will not leave her alone my child. This is a part of her journey that she must take, before you ask no she doesn't know she is pregnant yet. Yes, you can tell her, it will help her have courage and to keep her head.
Also remind your family and all she gave the moonstones to, to wear them she made them well they will protect you. You are the targets the dark Witch's followers, they will go after you guys first."
"Goddess is there nothing I can do to protect my mate and unborn pups? Anything?" A lone tear falls from my eye.
Holding out her hand she has a moonstone in the shape of our mark, "tell her to wear this and never take it off, the chain cannot be broken, it will keep them safe," she tells me.
I can tell this moonstone is extra special for it shines bright as the full moon on a dark night. Holding it carefully I thank the Goddess for this and for bringing her to me, for allowing us to know such love.
"Its time to wake now my child, remember do not forget what I have said, tell Serena to search her heart when the time comes, she will understand." She steps back into the moonbeam, and I wake up.
Ivy is still sleeping in my arms, I look in my hand and the necklace is there in it. I put it over her head and placed it on her chest.
Placing my hand on her belly careful not to wake her, I speak to my pups, be good for your mama and keep her out of trouble, I love you all very much.
