Bearing The Heir

Chapter 2

How I picture Arabella
Andrews (pov)

2 days later and we are on our way to the Silver moon pack in Oregon. Mom, Arabella and I are driving in one suv. The others attending are driving in another suv. The drive is only about 3 hours. We will be leaving right after breakfast.

The plan is to stop once and then hopefully be there by lunch. I knew I would be stuck in the car for a while. I dressed for comfort. I chose my black joggers and an oversized hoodie and my black converse.

Arabella dressed comfortable also. She was in black leggings and an over sized sweater hanging mid thigh with her black and white converse. She had her waist length golden hair pulled back in a braid. She always looked gorgeous.

I am driving with Arabella in the passenger seat. My mom's sitting in the backseat. I am so lucky my mother is so laid back and carefree.

  Bella and I are blasting music and singing along. My mom is just giggling in the backseat. We stopped at a gas station to grab snacks and use the restroom.

After that time seemed to fly by. Now we are currently headed down a dirt road to the pack entrance. A guard will give us clearance then we are headed to the pack house to get the warriors and others that accompanied us settled in.

Then we will head over to my grandparents house. As I park. I see Alpha Thomas standing in front next to his beta Derrick my uncle and my cousin Dominic.

  As we exit the suv I notice Arabella fidgeting. I whisper to her if she is ok. She responds I think the younger man is my mate.

  As we walk closer. I introduce her to the alpha. Then to my uncle then to my cousin Dominic.

No sooner as his eyes meet hers do they both utter the words Mate. I am beyond excited my best friend is mated to my cousin. We are now officially family or will be once they mate and mark each other.

  We all congratulated them. Alpha Thomas tells them to go on and get to know each other. The Alpha gives out the guest rooms to the others who traveled with us. Mom and I are on our way to meet my grandparents for lunch at their place. We told the others we would see them at dinner tonight at the pack house.

  I am so excited for Arabella finding her mate. I am hoping maybe I will get as lucky during our stay here. As mom and I get to her parents place. Grandad is exiting the house.

  He gives mom and I hugs and invites us in for lunch. I love his cooking. He made homemade spaghetti and meatballs with garlic toast and tiramisu for dessert.

Mom sure ate good growing up. She taught me some of what she learned to. I love to bake and help grandad in the kitchen when we visit.

  Poppa James is at the pack house helping my uncle Derrick and the Alpha. They are helping prepare for their Allie's arrival tomorrow. There is the meeting to discuss the rogue problem.

I tell mom and my grandad. I am going to shower and nap. Before we head to dinner at the pack house. I change for dinner into some black skinny jeans and a black button down shirt with the sleeves rolled to my elbows.

I put on my combat boots and pulled my sandy hair into a man bun. I think I look presentable. I can not wait to chat with Arabella about what she thinks of being mated to my cousin.

Mom left with grandad already to meet poppa for dinner at the pack house. On my walk to the pack house.  I notice some cammotion as I get closer. I see Alpha Thomas, his beta, my mom and grandparents all talking.

  To what looks like a group of elves. It must be the Elven Allie's that are attending the meeting. It looks like grandad must know them. I wonder if it is same elven clan his family was from.

As I get closer. I hear their leader telling the Alpha that he had a vision. It was of a prophecy that is going to take place. It is important they discuss it as soon as possible. So the Alpha, beta and group of elves excuse theirselves to meet in Alpha Thomas' office.

The rest of us head inside for dinner. The large dining hall is set up with long tables. In the center is a large buffet. It is filled with burgers, ribs, grilled chicken, corn on the cob, baked potatoes and a huge salad bar.

  It has every topping you could imagine. On the side is a table full of deserts. In the center of each table are pitchers of lemonade, tea and ice water.

There is always plenty to eat. The pack cooks are amazing. I grab grilled chicken , corn on the cob and a baked potato with a large salad. I grab the seat on the left of Arabella since my cousin is on her right. We all start eating then chatting about the upcoming meeting.

Dominic says that the group of bear shifters should arrive by breakfast tomorrow. The other wolf pack by lunch. The vampires should arrive tomorrow at sunset.

  Somewhere around dinner time. The meeting will be tomorrow night after dinner. Tomorrow will be a busy day.
