Bète Rick's POV.
It's nearing six in the evening by the time we arrive at Alpha Grace's pack border. We are met there by guard who lead us down a path straight to Alpha Grace's little town they had here and right up to the pack house.
The wagon is removed from my back and we're led to stalls to shift and change into clothes. Once we've done that and walk back to the front porch, John is there waiting for us.
Natalie runs up and takes our son into her arms. He buries his head in her shoulder and hugs back just as tightly as she is holding on to him.
Behind him is Alpha Grace who is watching with a smile. As I stare at the scene a memory flashes before my eyes of the last time I stood here when we came with Alpha George and I made the mistake of arguing with Alpha Grace when she was mad.
My have the times changed. John then tackled me in a hug and I stumble back a step before laughing and wrapping my arms around my son. She's laughing as well.
" It's so good to see you two. " said John.
" It's great to see you as well. It's always good to see you John. " I said. His mother agreed immediately.
John broke away and rushed inside really quickly. I looked at Natalie a bit confused before we looked at Alpha Grace who was smiling.
" He forgot something upstairs. He will be back in a moment. Bète Rick, Natalie, it's so good to see you two. How was your trip?" Asked Alpha Grace as she greeted the two of us with hugs.
" It's went pleasant enough. It was good getting to see Amber again. She is a wonderful Luna. " I said.
" She's amazing. " said Natalie.
" She definitely is an incredible person to meet. Your son is the same. I've never met someone more determined to help anyone than your son. He works so hard and is so kind. Thank you for letting him stay with me at my pack. " said Alpha Grace.
" It's where he chose to be. Who are we to say no. " I said.
That's when the door opened and John walks back out. In his arms he held a bouquet of his mothers favorite flowers. Her gasp said all that needed to be said as John presented her with the bouquet.
She gently took them and then hugged John again. " Thank you John. They look so beautiful. " said Natalie.
" He picked them out just for you today. " said Alpha Grace.
" That's very sweet of you John. " I said.
John shot me a grin. " Come on. Let's get inside and I have a vase for you to put your flowers in. " said Alpha Grace as she led us in. I walked next to John while Natalie walked with Alpha Grace up the steps.
" How's the hand?" I asked.
John showed me his limited motion on his hurt hand. " Anymore than this and it hurts. The doctor has me doing physical therapy for it two to three times a week and has given me daily exercises to keep the mobility I have good. " said John.
" That's good. I'm sorry we were unable to prevent the accident but I'm grateful everyday that you survived it. " I said.
" It's ok dad. There's nothing for you to apologize for. You couldn't have known that was going to happen and it's ok. I'm alive and I have a new life here that I'm getting used to. This pack is really great sad. Alpha Grace is amazing. She does so much to help every member of the pack she can. " said John.
" I'm glad you're happy. That's what matters in the end. " I said as we made it to the top flight of stairs and walked to the kitchen. That's when we were hit with an amazing smell.
Alpha Grace walked in first and we followed. On the table she had plates and metal utensils out for us to eat with. She also had all the food she cooked out on the table. It looked like she had just took it off the stove just before we arrived.
" This looks positively lovely. " said Natalie.
" Smells amazing. " I said.
" Thank you. I wanted to treat you all to one of my favorite meals. My mom used to cook this for me whenever I achieved something or if I was greatly upset. It's a comfort meal for me and I wanted to share it with you three. " said Alpha Grace.
" That means so much to us. Thank you for this. " said Natalie. Alpha Grace smiled and then showed her the vase for her to put her flowers in. They prepared the water and set them in before Natalie set the flowers in the middle of the table.
Alpha Grace merely grinned and we all sat down. She started to dish the food out to us and we let her. She wouldn't let us do it ourselves which was actually kind of funny but very sweet of her.
Once we all had full plates of food we thanked her before we al started to eat. The food tasted amazing and was perfectly cooked. My mate doesn't like to use crock pots to cook because it takes too long. Plus she's getting back I got he rhythm of cooking every meal since Amber left. Amber used to do so much for us and now that she's at her own pack we're having to pick up the slack. Which is ok by me. I like having a little extra work to do. But most of it has fallen to my mate since I'm also having to take most of my work as Bète now that John is gone too.
That's why I'm training Matthew so I can spend more time helping my mate. She deserves to rest. Halfway through the meal I look over to see John set his fork down and let his hand rest of the table.
It looked like some of his muscles in his hurt hand were twitching or spasming. " Are you ok?" I asked, gaining the attention of the others.
Alpha Grace took one look and got up and left the room. She can back quickly with a small pill bottle and opened it. She handed one to John and he took it.
" What was that?" Asked Natalie. She looked concerned because John looked to be in some pain.
" If he keeps his hand in a certain position for a long time, such as using his fork, his muscles tend to cramp up and spasm. It's not usually painful, just really uncomfortable. The pack doctor has him on a prescription of muscle relaxants. I just gave him one to stop the spasms. " said Alpha Grace.
I nodded in response. I remember having a similar injury to my ankle once before and it spasmed like that as it healed. I guess I never thought John's hand would do the same until now.
John started to use his other hand to eat and we went back into a pleasant conversation. John started to tell us about all the nice people in the pack and how he and Alpha Grace have been helping them out.
It was really nice to hear him so happy again. I know this year has been hard on him but he's pushing through and beginning to see joy and happiness again instead of the hurt and betrayal he was feeling before.
I'm so happy Alpha Grace is taking care of him. He needs it more than we ever knew and sometimes it takes someone outside of the family to be what that person needs in their time of need.
It does sadden me that he had ti leave, but seeing how much being her with her has changed him. I wouldn't change it for the world.
