Chapter 47
The room was filled with pack members. There was light pink and blue everywhere the eye could see. Diane came over to hug me. I looked at Vincent to see his reaction. "Don't be mad." Diane said, pulling back, keeping me at arm's length. "Vincent didn't know."
"But how? I have not been home long enough to pull this off." I was amazed.
"You were missing just one day when my son let it slip that you were with child." Diane said. "I have been planning for this ever since. My first grandchild."
"Children," Vincent corrected. Diane turned smiling. As Katie, Millie and Val came rushing up.
"Am I going to have a brother or a sister?" Katie asked.
"It is too soon to tell, but you may have both." I smiled at her.
"She jumped up and down. This is so exciting!" Katie looked at Millie and said. "I think we should start thinking about names. I like Felicity for a girl or Violet. What do you think, Millie?"
"I think your parents will decide." She looked a bit out of sorts.
"Millie, I would love it if you could help give us name suggestions," I said. "The baby will be part of your family as well."
Her face lit up by my mention of her as family. "Enough of that, it is time to eat." Diane said.
All the food was baby themed. It was too much but I loved every minute. It was almost enough to make you forget all the trouble we had in front of us. I did say almost. I had only 5 days to work with Katie and speak with Cole.
I guess I could delay another day. Vincent linked the pack and told them our good news about the Twins. Many members linked back their good wishes.
We received many gifts and small tokens for the pup to be. One of the best gifts came from Millie and Kaite. They had made tee shirts and a onesie. Millie was the boss, Katie was the big sister, and the mini me.
"I guess we need a mini me two," Millie had commented.
"You also need a big sister or aunt shirt. You pick but you are a member of this family," I said.
We ate as a pack and enjoyed each other's company. Soon it was time for the party to come to a close. "Katie dear," I said. "I heard you used your powers while I was away."
She looked at me in shock. "I did. But it didn't hurt anyone. I never..."
I cut her off with a look and a sigh. "I guess you are old enough to start training them. Tomorrow, before school, you will train with me and again after school. If you plan to use them, you need to know your limits and the price of the power." "Really, I would love that!" Katie said, jumping up and down.
"When will you train?" Vincent asked.
"Some with her and other times while she is at school," I said. "I feel like soon I will swell to the size of a hippo and not be able to train at all."
"You will be the cutest hippo I have ever seen." He jested. Making me laugh in response.
I caught a glimpse of Cole at the edge of the party. He was chatting with some of the pack members and flirting with every girl in sight. If he wasn't careful, he would have pups all over the kingdom.
I thought about approaching him, but he was whisked away by a lovely pack member whose name I didn't know yet. I guess there will be another time. In the worst case, it will have to be a more formal setting.
It was time to retire to bed. The surprise party and the activity of the day had wiped me out. Vincent picked me up to carry me upstairs.
"I didn't see Reagan or Drake at the party," I said.
"No. I am assured that by tomorrow Reagan will be mated to the Dragon King and our world will get a lot more hectic," he said.
"Maybe or we will just have that many more allies," I responded.
He slowly placed me on my feet when we got to the room. I showered and changed into one of his shirts. He smiled as I walked out of the bathroom. I joined him in bed and fell fast asleep in his arms.
I woke up to an alarm I don't remember setting. It was 5 a.m. I could hear Vincent in the shower. I had 30 minutes till I needed to meet Kaite and Millie for training. Millie had offered to assist.
I entered the shower. It was warm. Vincent turned around slowly to meet me. I reached down and felt down his stomach. His abs led down to the shaft. He growled when I handled it. I began to stroke it.
He kissed me passionately. Lifting me up, he walked me through the shower and pinned me to the wall where he took me over the edge. After, he kept me pinned and washed my hair and body. After rinsing me off, he turned off the shower and gave me a towel. "We are going to be late," he said.
"It was worth it," I smiled at him. "Soon I will be too big to want to do anything."
We quickly dressed. I braided my hair on the way to the training center. Vincent had required that all other warrior training be done outside that morning. No one was to be present but Kaite, Mille, Vincent and Myself.
We started off small. Katie would ask Millie a question and Millie would attempt to lie. Easy stuff like is your name Millie? Do you belong to the Violet Moon pack? She pushed feelings of anger and happiness onto Millie. It was 7:00. "That is enough for this morning. It is time for you to get ready for school. Katie run ahead, Mrs. Brown will be here shortly. Millie, can you wait a moment? I will walk with you."
She hung back. "Millie, I am sorry that we haven't spent more time together. I really want you to feel like you are a part of this pack and our family."This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
"Yes Luna, it has been amazing attending school and helping out around the pack it is just..." She trailed off.
"You feel like you don't exactly fit in," I guessed.
"That is part of it," a tear slipped down her cheek.
I gave her a big hug. "What is the other part?"
"There is this boy," she looked at me. "Val says it is her future mate. We met at your Luna Ceremony. Do you remember the son from Crimson moon?"
"Yes, he was very nice and handsome," I replied.
"We have been talking every night and I just like him, you know, but he asks about Val, and she has said they are destined mates." We were almost to Millie's room. "I can't lose Val as a friend, so I have had no one to talk to."
"You can always find me and talk to me. I chose you because I see the amazing person you are and the powerful wolf you can become. Remember I have been many things. The moon goddess has a plan for you. I think she owes me one. If I see her again, I will put in a request to make your future bright but maybe less eventful than mine."
She smiled and I gave her a hug. "Now, get ready and call Val to come get you."
After the kids were at school, I spent some time reading in Vincent's office. Visiting families with Diane and training. I now had full control over all my powers. My strongest being mind control.
This happened for three days. I needed to have a conversation with Cole. I was not looking forward to it. We worked her powers on me. But they did not seem to work. The only power of Katie's I could feel was when she changed the emotion in the whole room. Katie had three specific powers. She could manipulate an individual's emotions. Create an atmosphere in a room and act like a truth serum for people. The first and last she could not use her powers on me. Vincent volunteered on day three as Millie was getting worn out between training in the morning, school, boy drama, and phasing and running at night.
Millie was a beautiful grey wolf with a white stomach. She was larger than most Omegas and loved to be in wolf form and running was her favorite time of day.
On the fourth day, Katie was ready and just in time. The date promised was tomorrow. She had made Vincent tell her his greatest fear, not related to his family, and that was spiders. He hated them. We all giggled about it after, but we knew she was ready. I linked Cole though my magic. "Meet me in the gardens at 8."
"Not sure how you are linking me, but I will be there. Are you tired with your mate already?" Cole replied.
"Never," I replied, and I closed the link. I don't think I will mention that conversation to Vincent.
