Withered Love

His Arrival

I awoke to find Drake and Kade no longer in bed which irritated me because I enjoy waking to them against me. I know many things are going on at the moment and can't blame them if there were things that needed to be handled but why wouldn't they wake me to assist? 

I growled out in frustration knowing I now had to get out of our bed into a cold room without them. I like our morning time together before we begin getting things done but the pack is in such an uproar, I am sure there was something that needed their immediate attention.

"Where are you mates?" I questioned through our link.

"Good morning love, we let you sleep because the past few days have been very trying on you. You are carrying our pup after all and if you won't look after yourself, we need to do it for you." Drake replied.

I growled through the link not liking his comment making it sound as if I don't take care of myself or our pup. How dare he?

"I take care of myself and our pup you bastard!" I growled through the link.

I felt hurt questioning if my mates actually thought I wasn't taking care of myself or our pup. Hell, their aggressiveness when taking me is more likely to harm our pup than me being up and doing things. I growled out in frustration as I head the door open slowly seeing Drake and Kade standing there looking as if I had slapped them both.

"Mate, I would never imply you aren't taking care of our pup! We know you are, but you are doing so much, and we both knew you were exhausted and needed rest. That is why we let you sleep in; I am sorry if you misunderstood my meaning." Drake coo'd out to me.

I closed my eyes sighing knowing perhaps I overreacted just a touch, perhaps it is my hormones. Isn't that what most females blame it on when they are carrying? I grinned to myself knowing I was not like others, especially since I am a Lycan! There is no normal when it comes to me because there hadn't been any Lycans in so long we don't have information on what to expect. 

They both walked to the sides of the bed climbing on it as they wrapped around me nuzzling their faces within my hair. A sigh escaped from me as their scents surrounded me bringing a sense of calm to my mind and body. It amazes me they have so much control over my body even if I didn't want them to.

"I am alright, I was just upset that I woke up and you both were gone. Where were you anyways?" I asked softly.

"We were downstairs speaking with Ferris and my mother. As soon as George arrives, we will head out to the Fallen Sky pack. My mom has already packed up many of her things, but she only wants to take a travel bag at this moment to see how it goes while we are there. She is worried her arrival may be unwelcomed and if that is the case she won't want to remain. Of course, Ferris keeps telling her everyone has waited all these years for her to finally be at his side." Drake informed me.

"Do you expect any problems here while we are gone?" I asked.

"Things shall be fine, and if they aren't we will deal with them as the situations arrive. Nothing to worry about love!" Kade spoke softly.

I nodded my head to them but something deep within my gut told me that was the farthest thing from the truth. I had a feeling something would happen but how could I tell them that without them thinking I was just being paranoid? Different scenarios continued running through my mind and I didn't like any of them to be honest. 

What if some of the pack attacked George and then began doing damage to the changes we had already begun implementing? The she-wolves would be in danger along with innocent werewolves. I knew I needed to get my mind calmed down or it was going to send a surge of uncertainty within me, and I wouldn't leave the pack knowing something could happen.
