Destined

- 25 -

I pack the rest of my picture in a smaller box with a sigh. Looking around the room now reminds me of the first time I join the pack. The room was as dull as it is now with out my things lying around here and there or the pictures I stuck on the wall.

The house was finally done after a week of sweat and hard work. Nathan pulled a few men to help us, normally building a house takes at least a month depending of the size and the size of our place was a three bedroom house. So to say, our house was big and fit for couples who are planning to start a family.

But we were in a deadline as Nathan doesn't want a lot of men pulled out of patrols and he knows the house can't be delayed much longer. It was a miracle that we were able to finish the house in time with only a few things that need to be done, like painting the walls and buying the furniture.

Nathan gave me a strict order to finish the painting and buying furniture while the two is sent back to patrols. I knew Alex and Brian are confused on why the third in command is stuck with doing that kind of work than protecting our pack.

As much as I want to be in the field and how much Nathan is annoying me for not letting me go, I knew that he is doing it for the safety of my baby. Emma and a few female that can't fight due to kids related or the one that are not born as a fighter help me decorate the house.

Brian and Alex were already boxed and only need to be moved to the new house and they gave me the notes of what they want to their room and furniture. I have seen that notes and I never seen men being picky. They had listed the number of the furniture from the catalogue they want and where I can get it and here I thought women were picky but I guess I was wrong. I had three days to finish the house before we officially move there.

Athena and Emma had already started painting the walls in the living room and kitchen. We were actually thankful that the bathroom was done by tiles and the ceilings are painted white already but only need a bit of cleaning and polishing.

A couple of girls had help as well to paint the outside the house while the inside are left for me, Emma and Athena to do. Isa, Josie and Kathleen were in charge to buy the furniture which I'm thankful for because they seem to know what they are buying for the boys since according to them; their mates also have the same taste for stuff.

I sigh and left my stuff in my room and run to the new house to help out with Emma and Athena which I found arguing over the colour of the hallway. It turns out Emma wants to put wallpaper while Athena wants to paint it cream.

"How about do the bottom half wallpaper and then the upper top will be painted then we can put a border in between?" I suggest making the two stop arguing and seem to agree on the idea and soon enough we were painting and sticking wallpapers.

I stuck the last picture on my wall and step back to admire my work. I decorated my room personally and decide to create some art here and there rather than painting with just plain colours.

The wall opposite to the end of my bed, I painted a big tree but it doesn't have any leaves on it but only branches and a few vines. When the paint dried and we the smell was gone we were able to move to our own room. The tree I painted days ago was now decorated with picture I stuck on like they were the leaves.

I smiled and look around the room. "This is more like it." I said and once again, I felt like it was my old room but a lot of changes. Changes are good, sometimes. I thought as I fold the boxes before I put them in the attic.

"Cherry, do you want me to put them with mine?" Alex offers. I nod my head and gave him a smile but he only gave me a weak half smile before he walks away. I sigh and watch him go.
