The Lunar Wolf

:Chapter 25:

"So where did these come from?" I asked looking down at the cluster of presents in the Royal lounging room. Lubov had given us a room for all of us to hang out and talk, watch movies and read so we didn't have to go to each other's room. Anju asked for some Christmas lights and a tree and he was more than happy to give us one.

Now on Christmas Day, we received a note to head down there and under the Tree were some presents.

Even Anju looked baffled, "I have no idea."

"Whatada know, Santa does exist," Mavvie said.

I snorted holding in a laugh as Winter gave him a look, the 'your so stupid' look.

Marcu, Paul, Fabian, Tray, and Sam also had present under the tree, "Well this is new" Paul scratched his head in confusion.

Winter looked up at them, "This wasn't any of you?"

They all shook their head, "Well scratch that idea that this was you" I sat down.

"I feel like we're in a Sherlock Homes movie, trying to crack this case" Mavvie giggled.

Winter rolled her eyes, "Yeah Sherlock Homes and the Case of where the fuck did these presents come from?"

"Have you tried looking at the tag on the present?" Said a voice from the doorway.

We turned to see Lubov smiling from the doorway, "Those came in about a week ago with instruction on what to do with them, Merry Christmas, there will be a Christmas Breakfast at 9:00 and I would appreciate it if you came."

Anju nodded, "Thank you Alpha Lubov, we'll be down there as well, and Merry Christmas to you as well."

He left and I reached for a present.

To: Our beautiful daughter Anju
From: Your Loving Parents

"Anju, I think these are from Mom and Dad" I handed the gift to her.

She studied it for a moment then grinned and sat down, "Well, Merry Christmas everybody and let's open these like we would if we were at home."

We did so and the moment we sat down and got positioned, Eliza walked in with a tray of Hot Chocolate and marshmallows.

"Hello everyone, these are for you this morning" she set it down on the table.

I stiffened as I felt that strange power wave again, this time it was radiating stronger from both Eliza and Mavvie. I watched him make eye contact with her and my heart dropped to see the sorrow and longing in both their eyes.

They truly missed each other.

I could feel Hadden thinking as well but he stayed silent.

"Thank you, Eliza," Mavvie said trying to sound cheerful. I noticed a small little present hidden under the bag of marshmallows. As she walked out I quickly grabbed it and hid it under my shirt.

Some instinct was telling me that this was for Mavvie.

We all grabbed ourselves a cup and got ready to open the present, I slipped the small one to Mavvie, This was hidden under the marshmallows, I think it's for you.

His face was lit with joy again and he took it, Thanks a million Harvey.

We gathered the gifts with our names and began to open them, I took one that was the size of a medium box and when I unwrapped it, I found it was a medium box.

I opened it to see three books. I took them out to examine them each. The books were coverless and old. They all had a golden font on the front.
