Crazy Little Thing Called Mate

\Thirty•Three/

-Everest-

Two days.

I hadn't seen Titus in two days and was informed that my father in law was away from the lands on business.

As I walked the grounds I couldn't imagine what Titus had been up to, I understand that we had somewhat of an argument but I hadn't intended it to escalate so far as for him not to come to bed that night or every other night since then. Whenever I came across one of the member on his personal team they all told me they hadn't seen him.

'Surely he wouldn't leave without mentioning something to me first.'

I let out a heavy sigh.

I realized that if he were upset with me (or thought I was still mad at him) he very well might have left without even telling me bye.

'You're only his wife' my wolf growled,

"Shut up." I said out loud.

It had been a few days since I last shifted and had a proper run, but with the full moon approaching I knew I should hold off as I would be expected to shift with the pack so that I can finally become part of the pack and therefore be anointed the new North Stone Pack Luna.

I small wave of sadness washed over me.

What if Titus refuses to shift with me, what if he's starting to doubt my abilities to be his pack's Luna?

I didn't want to think what would happen if he didn't want me as his wife anymore, sure the contracts were signed but if I can't keep him happy I'm sure he can back out and request a new wife...I should've really read that contract before I signed it.

Filled with more worry and sadness than I had initial come out her with, I reentered the house and made my way into the kitchen.

I was immediately greeted by the cooks.

"Don't mind me, I'm just stress eating." I announced.

The staff continued about their work after that, I helped myself to a jar of cookies and a tall glass of milk.

"There you are."

I turned to find Heidi. "Here I am." I said with faux amusement.

"Phyllis would like to know if you'll be wanting a pack party the night of your first shift with the pack or should we just treat it like any normal night?"

"That's hardly even a question." I said flatly.

"So then...no?"

"Of course No...you know I hate being the center of attention."

She smiled, "I thought so, just wanted to double check before I gave the official answer." Then she looked at me once more before walking away, "what's up with the cookies?"

I pushed them away and got up to make my way to the freezer, I easily located the ice cream and opened drawer after drawer until I found a spoon.

"Everest." She sounded.

I sighed, "what, I eat when I'm stressed."

She smiled, "and what do you have to be stressed about, it's just a shift with the pack, you've been doing that since you were 17."
