(Lydia's POV)
Levi had called all of us to the meeting room pretty early this morning. He texted me saying that he had some important news to tell us all, so here we were. Dylan yawned. "Hurry up Levi, you interrupted my lie in." he said rubbing his eyes and I ruffled his messy hair.
"You didn't even have time to brush your hair huh?" I said chcukling and he flipped me off.
"Just cause your a fucking morning person pipsqueak, doesn't mean that I am." he grumbled and I flicked his forhead as the others laughed.
"Moving on to the topic of this meeting." Levi announced and we all focused on him.
"Yeah I'm curious, what's going on?" Logan asked.
"Well the elder council have asked for us to go and help train and work with one of the weaker packs that are suffering with the Nightmare attacks. We're to stay there for a few months and help get the pack stronger so they can handle the Nightmares." Levi said to us, but he looked sheepish.
"That's great, we're able to help out the packs that can't help themselves." Sadie said happily.
"Which pack is it?" I asked and that's when Levi looked away from me.
"It's, erm, um, it's Shadow Paw." he said stumbling over his words a litte and I felt my blood run cold. I hadn't heard that name in a long time and I think I preffered it that way. The look on my face must have worried my friends because I felt Sadie's arms wrap around in a tight hug.
"I'm sorry Lyds, we don't have to go." Levi said to me looking solemn. I thought it over in my head for a while. I didn't ever want to return, but maybe this would be good. Maybe I could get some closure. Closure over the remenants of mine and Ezra's bond. Closure over how they lied to me. And as a way to show all of them how amazing I am now. How badass, how sexy, how smart and how loved I am now. I shook myself out of my trance and hugged Sadie back and smiled.
"Thanks Say Say, I needed that." I said to her and she smiled and sat back down, "As for Shadow Paw, I think we should go. They don't know that I'm here and I wanna surprised them with how baddass and awesome I am. Our pack's not the strongest for nothing, so lets go." I replied and all my friends looked shocked.
"We really don't have to go Lydia." Levi said to me and i just smiled wide at him.
"Nope, we're going and I'm going enjoy a little bit of revenge." I said smirking evilly and my friends chuckled and smiled at me.
"Well then I guess it's decided then, we're going to Shadow Paw." Dylan yawned out with a smirk on his face. He loved causing trouble and I knew for a fact that he'd helped me create all sorts of anarchy when we get to Shadow Paw. Dylan left to go back to bed and Logan and Sadie left to go get some work done leaving me and Levi alone. He came and held my waist and tilted my face up to him. He did that to me a lot, so I'm pretty used to it and a small electric shock goes through me whenever he does and my cheeks go red too.
"Do you really wanna go pretty girl?" he asked me looking at me intensely. He calls me that all the time and I don't mind. He only calls it me when we're in private and he has something really serious to talk to me about and he wants my honest answer.
"I do, I promise, I really wanna go baby boy, don't worry about me." I replied cupping his cheeks and he went red and looked away from me.
"I'm not sure how I feel about your nickname for me Lyds." he said to me and I chuckled.
"Your face says otherwise." I replied with a smirk and he chuckled and moved a strand of my hair out of my face.
"You're the only one who gets to tease me like this pretty girl." he said to me. The sexual/romantic tension between us was so intense. So fucking intense. We were about to kiss, but there was a knock at the door and we had to pull away from each other.
"Come in!" Levi yelled and in came one of Levi's assistant.
"The Alpha from Shadow Paw is on the phone again and he's demanding to speak with you and wants to know when you'll be arriving there." she said rolling her eyes. I rollled mine too. I went on my tiptoes and pecked Levi on the cheek.
"Come find me when you're done, I'll be in the kitchen baking." I said to him and then I left the room allowing him to take his call.
(Levi's POV)
I grumbled out a curse and then had my assisstant direct the line to me. Whenever me and Lydia get close to kissing something always interrupts us. I feel like the Moon Goddess is torturing me. I picked up the landline phone in the room and was immediately greeted by a grumble and a swear.
"Why'd you keep me fucking waiting, I'm a busy fucking man you know!" Ezra grumbled through the phone. I had to hold back telling him to fuck off.
"I was having a meeting, you called at an awkward time, also watch your tone. Remember it's me who's doing you a favor, not the other way around." I told him coldly and I heard him gulp.
"Yeah, I understand, sorry I'm just really stressed, so when will you be arriving?" he questioned immediately changing how he was speaking to me.
"Well my hunters and trackers will need around a week to prepare, so we should arrive next week. We won't bringing all our hunters or trackers only half of each, so I hope that your pack is ready for some hard work, because my Head Hunter doesn't mess around. She's elite, so I'd prepare your pack mentally for what's to come." I told him.
"I've heard about her through other packs. She's quite infamous when it comes to her brutal training and her kind nature and beauty." he replied and I suddenly felt very possessive of Lydia. He still obviously didn't know that Lydia was my Head Hunter because the way he talked about her had a hint of admiration and lust in it.
"Lets keep this arrangement strictly professional, now is there anything else that you want from me. I have somewhere to get too," I replied thinking about Lydia baking in the kitchen.
"That's it, thank you for your time." he said quietly and he hung up quickly. I put the phone back and left the meeting room. Ezra really was a douchebag and I really wanted to punch him in the face. I walked into the kitchen and Lydia was just making the base of the cheesecake. She smiled and turned around when she saw me.
"Hi Levi, wanna join me, we can get it done quicker and then we can eat quicker." she said and she made my smile reappear. I helped her bake and then we spent the day together. Everyone had a day off and a day of rest. We ate cheesecake, watched movies, watched animes, played video games and at one point she fell asleep on my shoulder and I just watched her sleep. I know that it sounds creepy, but she looked angelic when she slept. Her full pouted lips slightly parted, her eyes softly closed with her luscious eyelashes, the way her long charcoal hair cradled her face like a crown. I didn't know how she could look even more attractive in her sleep. She was little minx though. My little firecracker. A little devil in sheep's clothing. My little devil and I knew for a fact that she'd make all her old pack pay. She was going to help them, but it would be the most ruthless help they'll ever get.
Hope you enjoyed this chapter. See you next Monday my lovelies. Love you guys, blessings and peace.
