Chapter 10

5 years later

I woke up, groaning, to the noise of clattering dogs and barking pans.

......Wait.

Clattering pans and barking dogs. There. That sounds more like it.

I groaned again and, through my drooping eyes, tried to see what was happening. I could make out a figure holding out something and banging it against something.  Those must be the clattering pans. Next I saw two black dogs wagging their tails and barking the room down.  That's the barking dogs issue. Raising my eyes even further, I saw something that looked suspiciously like something barrelling towards me.

What the...

Before my sleep deprived brain could fathom what was happening, a small bundle of limbs attacked me.

"Oof", I groaned out. "What is happening? What is this torture? Why is everything moving? What is life? Why did David Beckham create such yummy kids?" Now I was making no sense whatsoever.

A deep chuckle resonated through the room, "I don't think it was his fault, babe. Pretty sure science is at work. And hush, we don't want people thinking you're a paedophile do we? A 21 year old preying on what? 10 year old kids?"

I gave Xavier an indignant look, "Excuse me? Brooklyn is 15, not 10."

As if that makes it better, my wolf rolls her eyes at me. He gave me a look which said the same thing my wolf was thinking.

I have him a shut-up-asshole look in return. "Why did you even wake me up at this unholy hour, you A-hat?"

Xavier looked at me with amusement dancing in his eyes, "Unholy hour? It's well past 1 o'clock, Princess." Oops. Guess I miscalculated.

"Yeah yeah, whatever." I mumbled, trying to get out of bed before I realized that I had something pinning me down. I looked down and saw Spencer lying down on my chest, with his head buried in my neck. I look down at him, and realized that he had fallen asleep on me.

Oh my...

He came to wake me up, jumping on me and nearly breaking my bones in the process, and fell asleep himself?

Bless his little soul

I looked up at Xavier who looked even more amused, "Three guesses as to who he got that from?"

"Oh very funny." Is it really my fault I like sleeping?

I carefully maneuvered my sleeping angel so that he was laying down properly with his head on the pillow and got up form the bed, stretching like a cat.

"So, why'd you wake me up?" I asked when I was done brushing my teeth.

"Right. Yeah. I know it's your day off today, but is it okay if you go over to the Wolf Paw pack?" He asked me with a pleading look in his eyes.

"For training? I can do that, yeah but why? As far as I know, we dont train that pack." I asked in a confused tone.

He looked a bit sheepish at that, " Err yeah, I know. This isn't Jed's order, it's a personal favor for me. I kind of promised them that I would get our best fighter to train them for a day or two."

My eyebrows rose high at that, "Oh I see. What am I getting in return then?"

"I'll give you ice cream. Cookies and Cream and hot choc fudge. And Pizza. For one whole week", He said easily. Oh, he thought this through all right.
