huit!

Turning around in my bed, I feel something hard and warm. I snuggle into it and relax remembering that it is Luke. He turns and wraps his arms around me, trapping me in this peaceful moment.

My phone chimes and Luke reaches to grab it, I'm not willing to wake up just yet, snuggle deeper into his side. Luke checks my phone and puts it back down.

"You got a nude pic from Brad. Luckily, you have experienced something much bigger," Luke grumbles and cuddles me again.

I ignore his remark, knowing very well Brad wouldn't send me a nude. I miss that Olaf so much. I haven't laughed much since that day. Pack stuff got so hectic, teens are all over the place trying their best to find their place within the pack.

I sigh, pushing Luke a bit until he lets me go. I rub my eyes and fall of my bed, crawling quite literally to my bathroom. I lay on the cold tiles for a second before getting up and got in the shower. Yup, fully clothed in the shower.

Luke gets up from my bed and walks into the bathroom. He undresses and joins me in the shower, undressing me as I am too lazy to do so myself. Luke massages my neck and shoulders. Trying to calm me. It helps only a little, so I don't stop him.

My mind begins to drift as Luke washes my body for me. 

In just a few days I'll be 18. I'll meet my mate, I will then publicly claim my position as alpha. I'll take over most of Luke's duties and he will help me do the best thing possibly.

I turn around and taking the bath scrunchie and wash Luke. Yes, I may be the alpha and carry most of the stress, but Luke feels everything I feel. So when I finally relax, so will he.

He grabs my face and puts his forehead on mine. A symbol of hope and tranquility. Soaking up every little bit of hope and tranquility he set into the universe. Luke stares into my eyes, and placing a sweet innocent kiss on my forehead, moving down towards my lips.

Just as he is about to kiss me, Kevin screams through mind link that Martha is going into labor.

^_^

Dressed in some sweats and loose t-shirt, I stand next to Martha holding her hand. Smiling at her, encouraging her. She huffs and puffs angrily, before she grabs Kevin by his shirt mumbling that they are never getting pregnant again. I stifle a laugh before I get some of that anger thrown at me.

The doctor looks at me and nods. The baby is crowning. It is time to use some of my magic.

I kiss Martha's forehead as well as Kevin's. A sign of love and congratulations. I take hold of both their hands and close my eyes, concentrating on their love and Martha's pain of the child birth. Martha gasps, I smile knowing my blessing is working. 

A cry breaks the sound of Martha pushing.

"It's a girl!"

Excitement fills me as I drop Martha and Kevin's hands to go look at the baby. The doctor cuts the umbilical cord and wrapping the baby in the cutest pink blanket and handing the baby to me. I take the little bundle, my eyes filling with tears as I hold her. I take her little hand and whisper some blessings over her before giving her to Martha.

"Hello world," Kevin says with tears dripping from his face. Martha continues his sentence, "I am Lexi. Named after her beautiful young alpha, Alpha Alexis Nicole Kane."

With no warning at all, I burst into tears, kneeling before Martha. Kevin pulls me up into a hug, and holds me. Martha takes my hand.

"We wanted a daughter, someone like you. You are our daughter forever and always, Alexis."
