Rejected by One Loved by the Other

Chapter 37

By the time they took their vacation the twins were six-and-a-half months old, sleeping through the night most nights. This made things so much easier. The couple got in the car looking forward to getting away. "Where are we going?"

"It is a surprise; can't a man surprise his mate?" Melody stopped asking. It wasn't a long drive, only about an hour. The twins sat in the back with the nanny sleeping most of the ride.

Anthony pulled over. "Close your eyes, I don't want you to peek." Once her hands covered her eyes, they drove for a few more minutes. As soon as the car stopped Anthony hopped out and helped Melody out of the car. "You can look now."

Melody opened her eyes to an A frame house sitting on the lake. The back wall is all windows, so no matter where you are inside you can see the lake. "This is perfect, Anthony."

"Wait until you get inside." He left the nanny and the twins in the car so he could show the house off. "There are two bedrooms down here along with two bathrooms. Our room is upstairs, it is the only room up there other than the bathroom." Anthony is so proud of this place he is talking fast. "The kitchen has modern appliances and all the luxuries. See the fireplace, every one of those stones came from the mountains around here."

"How did you find this place?"

"I didn't find it per say. I built it. While growing up, the pack took up most of mine and dad's time. When I got older, I wanted a place away from pack life but still near the pack, so I explored the area. This land is still part of the pack but on the outskirts away from all the stress."

"I can't believe you built this place; it is perfect. You're right about the stress of the pack and everything else. Being here will relieve a lot of that. You know what I am looking forward to?"

"Tell me what."

"Not having to run around from place to place, being able to sit and watch the pups play. I also get to stay in your arms all day."

"The pups, I was so excited about showing you the house we left them in the car."

"They are fine. Harriet is out there with them."

The next morning Melody got out of bed late. "Well, you are finally up, I thought you were going to sleep all day."

"If a certain Alpha hadn't kept his mate up all night I would of gotten up earlier."

"You didn't complain last night. If I remember correctly someone kept saying, 'Please'."

"Anthony, you are not a gentleman."

"I never said I was. How about we take the pups down to the lake. They will love splashing in the water."

After tiring out the pups Anthony turned his attention to his mate. "Time for you to learn how to swim."

"Not again. Every time you say you want to teach me how to swim, we end up in bed and you are letting your little friends out to swim."

"Are you complaining? Your pond is always so wet for my little swimmers." Anthony grabs her hips pulling her into his hard erection.

Their vacation felt so short, even though it was two weeks long. "Do we have to go back tomorrow?"

"If you still want to be a doctor we do."

A long-exaggerated sigh comes from Melody. "I am going to miss this place. The you and me time."

"I am too, but the pack is waiting for us. We can try to come out here more often. After you finish school, we can try to do it once a month."
