Bella's POV

After a refreshing nap I wake up to Blake staring softly into my eyes and I blush from the embarrassment of him watching me sleep that's not creepy at all. "Uh hey how long did I sleep for?" Blake shrugged his shoulders and replied. "Eh only two hours, Angel. Um my mum would like to take you to the packs SPA don't even bother to ask me to go I wouldn't be caught dead there, but my mother thinks it might help to 'de-stress' after the horrendous morning you had. I'm still so sorry I didn't know but I should've known what Nathan was bloody thinking pulling a stunt like that and hurting your goddess of a body thank god for magic huh." I smirked "yeah thank god huh and please stop blaming yourself there's nothing for you to feel sorry about I'm fine honestly it's in the past I'd just like to move on ok. Besides if Nathan wasn't opening up to his mind-link then of course you wouldn't know, please babe I'm fine." "Babe huh I like it when you call me that." Shit I said it out loud hide me now please anyone I can't believe it stupid, stupid Bella at least I didn't say I love him, although he's quickly growing on me. I shakily ask "umm a-anyway where's this pack Spa at?" He smiled shaking his head Blake knew I was deflecting from my embarrassing pet name fiasco. "Don't worry my mum will take you, I'm going to the office now angel are you sure your fine? He did beat you up badly Angel." He puts his hand to my cheek cupping it lovingly. I lifted my left hand to gently remove his hand from my cheek. "I said I'm fine I won't lie to you. Now please go do some work Alpha whilst I get to my relaxing, you work hard whilst I relax, good boy." I toss his already messy hair like messing with a dogs head. Blake growled playfully before crushing me in tickles I lay on the bed in the foetal position as my stomach started to ache from my fit of laughter. "Ok I'm sorry your a very bad boy." I laughed harder ok that's the wrong answer, please stop running out of oxygen. "Ok, o-ok I yield you win you big strong Alpha." Blake stops his tickle match, and I gulp down air whilst wiping away my tears from all the laughing. We kiss and he gets off the bed once Blake reaches the door he winks to me before leaving. I get changed in my bikini before putting on my new winter outfit over it.

Karina has taken me to an underground heaven wow I can't believe I live in this pack, and to think I didn't want my mate and disappeared from him only a couple of days ago. Silly stupid Bella. "How are you feeling I'm surprised but pleasantly surprised you forgave that stupid pup so quickly after all Nathan hurt you. Nobody would blame you if you exiled him." I gaped confusingly at Karina. "Do you not like Nathan?" She shrugs her shoulders then says "he's alright but I wouldn't of picked him for a Beta my son and Nathan grew up together my son is a trained Alpha but Nathan struggles with following orders, he's always been a rebellious type. That's not what a pack needs as its second in command but for some reason Blake sees something in him. I don't know what that is. He should be executed for harming his future Luna, it's what's always been done. In our pack we accept change to a degree but harming the future of our pack from the inside is unforgivable." I'm shocked Karina is a friendly approachable woman. I'm surprised she has strong feelings against Nathan. Great now I pity him, his former Luna dislikes him that's got to be tough.
"Well maybe he'll show us he can change being mated to my friend and all." She shakes her head and shrugs as if she doesn't believe that will happen. "He is mated to your friend and that still wasn't enough to stop him attacking you sweetie. I know your defending him because he's not here to do it himself, but I haven't seen any improvement from him and I've known him his whole life his father was George's Delta, so naturally the title of Delta should've been passed down to Nathan but now we're stuck with an unimpressive Beta. This is what I feel, feel free to think otherwise I just don't want him hurting you again you're my sons mate and I've never seen him so happy. Ha besides he used to love setting up meetings and working his butt off, but since he's met you he despises working because every second he's away from you he whines. Of course I find it refreshing it used to be George who acted like that now it's my son it's very entertaining." This took me by surprise I knew he had to work but he never appeared to hate it when he said 'I'm going to the office.' "I had no idea other than the fact he's rather lazy when I wake him up, I guess I should've known." Karina laughs "how could you have known it is not a woman's job to read her mate's mind we don't want to know what goes on in their head trust me I've spent 25years with the same irritating god like wolf and I never want to know what he's thinking. I'll tell you a secret when he talks to me through mind-link I let him rant and don't reply, but if I'm not in the mood I block him out altogether. Why should they whine we go through so much pregnancy, labour, birth, periods, and heat and they complain if they were us for a day they couldn't make it for five minutes. So you see we don't need to know what they're thinking they soon complain." My turn to laugh. After our chat about mates and how it's different in witches compared to she-wolves I was really enjoying her company it's almost like hanging out with my mum only it's Blake's mum. I know my mum would love her.

I sit back on the underwater lounger the water is perfectly heated. After a massage by Darla who has a gift this is so much better than meditating. My neck was so tight. Since I'm not an official Luna to prevent any more members attacking me Blake ordered his mum to bring me straight home. So Karina and I made lunch for Mr. Grumpy we ate ours and Karina hugged me it felt like a mother's hug I miss those hugs so I'm grateful for Karina's hugs. I carry Blake's lunch up to his office he must be in the bathroom I leave his lunch on the desk and smile mischievously let's play a game how quickly do you recon I can get this tough Alpha to moan? Game on people.
