My mate

"Welcome home little one"

Cora is legit freaking out, borderline hyperventilating as they enter the pack gates when an idea pops into her head. She inches closer to Dax and lightly trails her finger up his arm, "Why don't we forget about the whole going back to the pack idea and go somewhere else, just us two, alone.." she trails off winking suggestively. Instead of succumbing to her charms he does the complete opposite, throws his head back and roars with laughter.

He looks back at her, eyes shining with mirth as he tries to control himself. "That was absolutely pitiful" he chuckles. "I see your seduction techniques have went downhill since you left me". Why did she bother.

"I wasn't seducing you", she denies. "Yeah, sure" he drawls. She gasps as sees the pack house for the first time in months having forgotten how magnificent it was. She really had missed this place. Not that she was going to admit it out loud.

Her nerves were really starting to kick in as they left the car and starting walking up the steps leading into the house. Opening the door she notices that nothing had changed, same decor, same smell, same everything. Her ears picks up no other sound that the sound of their breathing indicating that no one other than them were home. "Where is everyone?", she asks turning to face Dax.

"Hunting. They wanted to throw you a welcome home party" he says, scanning her face looking for--something. O-kay then. Something shiny catches her eye and her breath catches as right in the centre of the wall hangs a canvas of the people she had come to love. Her heart accelerates slightly as she looks at herself wrapped up in Dax's arms, smiling adoringly. It was taken at one week before everything went to shit.

She startles as she feels Dax come up behind her, his breath fanning the back of her neck sending shivers down her back. "That was a great day", he says moving the hair from the back of her neck and planting gentle kisses there and her eyes close in pleasure and she behind to lean back into him until she realises what she was doing and leaps away from him.

"Nu huh mister, no touching!" She warns. Dax raises his hands in mock defence "Sure thing. Didn't hear you complaining though", he grins.

"Whatever", she says rolling her eyes. She couldn't exactly argue. She didn't complain. "When will the guys be back?" she asks.

"Why don't you ask them through the pack link?" Dax asks confused.

"I technically left the pack therefore I can't access it anymore" she explains. He looks thoughtful for a moment, "You could speak to me through the pack link though" he points out. She looks at him pointedly, "You know that's wasn't through the pack link". "I know. I'm just glad your starting to come to terms with it that's all", he grins.

Before she can retort she notices his eyes shifting from her to the front door but before she can turn to check what caught his attention she is lifted from the ground and swung around coming face to face with my capturer.

"Diego!", she cries throwing her arms around his neck and wrapping her legs around his waist. He burrows his head into her neck inhaling her scent and squeezes her tight. "God I've missed you baby girl" he muffles.

Smiling she leans back to respond and his lips are on hers, his tongue invading her mouth. She may have responded to the kiss slightly. What? He's a great kisser. If it were anyone other than Diego she would have castrated his balls but it's just who he is. He's always acted this way towards her.

"That's enough Diego" Dax grumbles. Diego ignores him but sets her down and looks her over and frowns, "Damn baby girl, you've lost weight", switching to big brother mode.

"Only because I didn't have all you guys fattening me up at every opportunity", she responds rolling her eyes.

"Hey!" A new voice enters, "you can't blame us for you getting fat you when used to eat like a freaking carnivore!"

Tanya!" Cora shrieks and rushes out of Diego's arms and engulfs her best friend in a bone crushing hug.

"Bitch where have you been! You left us high and dry for months! No phone calls, no email messages to say "I'm OK and still breathing", nada!", Tanya shouts smacking Cora across the head. Cora had really missed her abusive bitch of a best friend.

"Sorry Ya-Ya", Cora winces rubbing her head. "I've been here and there, you know, hiding from the big bad stalker wolf" jerking her head in the direction Dax was at.

"Found her in Florida", Dax inputs causing Tanya to smack Cora again "Girlie you went to Florida without me!" She shrieks "You", smack. "Bitch!"smack.

Next into the house is the twins Tucker and Beacon shouting "PARTYS HERE" who are carrying the recently dead game into the room. As soon as they see her they simultaneously scream "CORA!", race towards her and hoist her into the air.

"You little she devil! How could you abandon us like that!", Tucker pouts. "Aw I missed you too you goofballs" she says ruffling their shaggy hair.

"Yaww", Beacon coos "we missed you too squirt". "You missed me more than Tuck though, right Cor?" He states. "No, she missed me more", Tucker argues elbowing Beacon in the gut causing him to wince.

"No, me!", Beacon argues tacking Tucker to the ground. Cora laughs as she watches the boys mess around.

A deep chuckle draws her eyes from the boys to the front door where Jeremy is casually leaning against the doorframe also watching the boys with amusement. Feeling her stare he meets her eyes. The man who was like a father to her. "Hi Jer", Cora smiles at him. A broad smile stretches across his face, "Welcome home little one".
