Man Enough Now

Her Wolf

Diego's POV

Three days ago I showed Ophelia my wolf, Dagda. Dagda and I both can sense her wolf is near by but she hasn't yet appeared. She is scared that with her wolf being dormant, she might not ever appear again. I am meeting with Selene in a bit to discuss what could be causing her wolf coming back through now. I am sure the stress of Alpha Johnson isn't helping her situation either. I am going to tell the pack that if it's something Carlo and Dante are able to handle, then I don't need to be disturbed. I know without a doubt they will be understanding. I head downstairs as Ophelia is sleeping. Poor thing couldn't get comfortable at all. I walk into the kitchen and I hear one of the doors open from upstairs. I fix a pot of coffee and see everyone but Ophelia coming downstairs. This is as good of a time as any to tell them what my plans for today are.

~Diego~ I am to not be disturbed today for anything. If anything happens bring it up to Carlo or Dante unless it is dealing with Alpha Johnson.

One of the other pack members ask why am I to not be disturbed..

~Diego~ Ophelia's wolf is so close to coming out now, she's hurting horribly right now. That's why she isn't down here with us. While I'm here, has Alpha Johnson responded to the new meeting time yet or not?

~Carlo~ As of last night, he still hasn't responded to any email I have sent as a follow up or returned any of my calls. How would you like to proceed with this?

~Diego~ Give him until tomorrow to respond and if he doesn't at all return anything, then I will immediately contact the elders and see how they would like to continue on. I won't waste any of our time with an Alpha who can't be respectful of our time and efforts.

They all say yes alpha. I put my plate and cup in the sink, and carry some food upstairs to Ophelia. Selene told me that Ophelia needs to be as stress free as possible. So now I am going to make sure she has plenty of time to relax with me. I walk into our room and she is just now waking up.

~Diego~ Good morning beautiful!

~Ophelia~ Good Morning baby. How did you sleep? Did I keep you up all night again?

~Diego~ No my love you didn't. You did finally fall asleep after I growled softly in your ear. It was the only thing that calmed you down enough to get you to sleep. How are you feeling though?

~Ophelia~ I am okay. Sore as hell but okay. Don't you have a pack meeting today? Or anything dealing with the mafia?

~Diego~ No baby I have Carlo and Dante handling anything related to those two. They are still waiting to hear back from Alpha Johnson about the meeting and he hasn't responded to Carlo. I told them that if he doesn't respond back by tomorrow, then I'll contact the Elders. This is a bit ridiculous as hell.

~Ophelia~ Okay. But if they need you downstairs then you can go help them. I'll be okay. I promise.

What did I ever do to deserve this kind of happiness? Ophelia is more concerned of the pack needing me than her own well being. She is the true definition of a queen.

~Diego~ I appreciate that so much. More than you'll ever know but the pack knows I'm needed up here. I've already cleared it with the pack...

As I'm sitting here talking to her, her eyes shift to a golden hue... Her wolf is there....

~Diego~ Babe?
