Devils Daughter

Chapter 16: Home Sweet Home... Or not?

Astrid Skyla Jackson

Once we arrived, we got out of the car and made our way into my penthouse apartment.

"Wow..." Whispered Lacy in awe. I smiled and nodded at her.

"yeah, it's nice isn't it?" I said, she nodded in response. It wasn't a big, huge penthouse, it was just big enough for the three of us. It had three bedrooms, although the twins shared, 2 bathrooms and an office. It did have a kitchen and living area as well, obviously. They were both opened, which made it look like one huge room.

After we all unpacked and got settled in, Mitchell and Lacy stayed for a while, then left, going back to Mitchell's house. Kane was staying with me until he got his own place, which shouldn't be to far away now, he's got his eye on a few places not to far from here. I put the twins down for a nap and started watching TV, I turned on Netflix and started to watch an episode of the Walking Dead. My absolutely favourite show ever.

Despite letting myself get comfortable, I knew I still had a big day ahead of me.

The next day, I felt myself become really drained. Rejecting my ex-mate took at lot of energy out of me and now I was feeling the side effects. I continued with my daily routine, as I always do. Playing with the kids, cleaning, paper work and those types of things.

Half way, during working in some paper work, I felt my eyes become heavy and slowly close, telling me I really needed to sleep.

I woke up a couple hours later, to the sound of Tristan crying. I went and got him out of his bed, then I got him dressed and fed while I let Raven sleep a little longer.

Once Raven was awake, I got her dressed and fed as well, then we went out to meet the Alpha of this territory, Kane tagging along with us.

We approached the pack house entrance. I held onto Raven while holding Tristan's hand, waiting for Kane to knock on the door. He knocked and the door swung open immediately.

"Welcome, Kane and Astrid, my names Owen. Please come in." said the Alpha, Owen. I quickly studied Owens appearance, he looked about 36 years old, tall, maybe around 6'7 and had sandy blond hair. He was well fit and built, like most alphas were.

As we walked into the pack house, Owen led us into his office and got straight to business.

"I have to ask you some questions, all questions will be under a topic, which it will tell you before I ask.. Okay?" He asked, Kane and I nodded. I placed the twins down on the floor, giving them both a small toy I brought along, to keep them occupied.

"Okay, the first topic is about your overall health and that sort of stuff. Astrid, if you or one of the twins has broken a leg, where would you prefer to go, pack doctor or human doctor?" Owen asked, getting straight to the point, again.

"Pack doctor, obviously." I answered, wondering why that is even relevant.

"what about you Kane?" Owen asked, now focusing on Kane.

"same as Astrid." Kane replied, Owen nodded and started to write something down on a piece of paper.

"How healthy are the twins and yourself on a scale of one to ten?" Owen asked, looking towards me again.

"I would say, a 9 for me, a 7 for Raven, she has been coughing lately and a 9 for Tristan, so I think it's just Raven that's getting a little sick out of the three of us." I replied nodding. "
