The Alpha's Eden

How can I help?

Eden PoV

To say I was relieved that Jace was on board with my idea to get my wolf back was an understatement.

A part of me had worried that he wouldn't be happy about the idea due to me being pregnant and he'd attempt, key words here attempt, to convince me to wait until after the babies were born.

But the idea of being away from the babies for five minutes made my stomach churn and tighten into knots so there was no way I'd be able to bring myself to do that when the time came to it.

My next concern was that Blake would dig his feet in the ground and try to make me stay here and not work on getting my wolf back for whatever reason he could think of. Pregnancy. Vampirism. The threat of our fathers. The prophecy. Him just bring a stubborn bastard and fighting me on this because he felt like it.

There were numerous reasons why he could and probably would not want me to do this.

But they all stemmed from the same reason.

He didn't want us to be apart for any length of time even if it was to be a day or two.

But Jace has just been through it and I could guarantee he hated every second if it as much as I had but deep down he had known it was something I had to do and had to do without him.

This was no different and sadly I was going to do it with or without Blake's approval but saying that, having his support would mean a great deal to me.    

However I had a plan in mind that might just make my absence slightly more easy and after a quick shower I got dressed and bubbled with glee as I thought over my idea in my head.

"What's going on in that beautiful head of yours? You look very mischievous" Jace crouched down beside me as I sat on the chair at my vanity brushing through my damp hair. He watched my every move in the mirror before standing to full height and taking the brush out of my hand so he could brush my long blonde hair instead.

"Do you think you could sort things out in time for us to leave this afternoon? I could pack our things whilst you do alpha stuff" I asked relaxing into the chair as he gently groomed my hair but never dropping his gaze from mine in the mirror.

My knees bobbed up and down with excitement like a little girl on Christmas morning barely able to contain her emotions as she waited for the go ahead to rip open all her gifts from Santa.

"If that's what you want love" Jace smiled brightly and I swear the room felt lighter for the beaming of his beautiful smile.

"I do... I really do. I'm so excited and I have a really good feeling about this. I honestly think it will work" and I meant it. Deep down in my bones I knew this had a good chance of working. I don't know how I knew, I just did. Perhaps it was my wolf somehow letting me know that she felt it too.

Of course I'd been able to partially shift recently, but the shift wasn't much. It was small things; my finger into a paw. My nails into claws or my teeth into canines.

The contact between myself and my wolf was based upon my emotions at the moment and although emotions were good. It wasn't always the best way to get a handle on your wolf and the emotions that I'd used weren't there best; namely anger, well no more like pure unrelented rage. My bad temper and pain were the the only ways I had been able to partially shift enough to hurt someone when I'd needed to.

There had been times when I'd heard her purring at the dominance of our mates or soft whimpers as she felt the unbridled passion and pleasures that our mates gave us. These things told me that she hadn't abandoned me completely. Thank the goddess!
