Alys woke up a little confused. She was in her old bedroom and she felt like a weight was pressing down on her. Then she realized there was a weight pressing down on her. It was Aiden. They were completely entangled in each other, she was curled up against his chest his hard muscles rippling underneath her fingers, his heavy arm wrapped around her waist holding her tight against him his other across her back his hand resting in her hair, their legs intertwined around one another. Alys thought that it should be uncomfortable, but sleeping next to him completely entwined, was the most comfortable she had ever been. She couldn’t help but think of cuddling with Drew. They would start out cuddled in the typical big spoon little spoon but eventually one of them would get hot or uncomfortable and would roll over and they would end up sleeping on opposite sides of the bed. But being here wrapped up in Aiden, surrounded by his delicious cinnamon scent, felt so natural. Alys’s eyes roamed acro
Alys took a deep breath, and muttered to herself “Release the Hounds.” She heard Aiden chuckle as he looked at her and she blushed forgetting that he had wolf hearing. “The hounds eh?” He whispered in her ear, the he growled playfully nipping at her neck. “I believe we prefer to be called wolves.” “Don’t worry I prefer wolf too.” Alys giggled as Aiden snapped his jaws at her in a biting motion, then in walked four very tall, very muscular people. There were two male and two female warriors who entered the living room, they were all wearing black cargo pants, black long sleeved shirts that fit tight to their bodies, and black combat boots. The one in the lead walked right up to Alys and bent on one knee baring his neck in submission. “My Luna, I have been waiting a long time to finally meet you. My name is Thomas Porter, and I am the Gamma for Blue Lake it will be my pleasure to protect you.” Thomas stayed where he was as the other three warriors bared their necks out of respect for
Aiden linked Dr. Clarke as soon as they got close enough to the pack borders so he and his team would be there to check everyone out as they arrived. Alys snuggled close to Aiden for most of the drive and he had to keep asking her questions to keep her awake which made Aiden a little nervous that she might have a concussion. She had hit her head very hard against the window, and then hit in the face by Cody shortly after.“Look out the window Alys, we are getting close now you can start to see the lake through the trees.” Aiden whispered to her. She sat up a little and looked out the window seeing shimmers of dark blue flashing through the trees then suddenly the tree line ended and the vast lake was there with the moons glow shining on its waters creating a sparkling show. “Aiden its beautiful.” Alys said quietly putting her head back against him. He felt a wave of nausea through the bond and knew lifting her head caused her to get dizzy. “Just a few more minutes then we are there.
Alys smiled at her mom from her little nest of blanket. It smelled liked Aiden and it made her feel safe and calm. It had been a really busy morning and she was glad everyone seemed to be genuinely happy she was there. She already really liked Sara, she had such a warm and loving personality. Alys couldn’t believe how lucky she felt to be surrounded by so many amazing people already.“Is your room ok mom?” Alys hoped her mom was fitting in well too.“Oh its fabulous, I feel like I am on vacation at a fancy resort. The room has a big comfy bed, a little sitting area beside it, and a nice desk, a walk in closet, and an ensuite bathroom with a nice soaker tub. Aiden’s parents asked me to join them for dinner this evening in the pack dinning room as well. They are very nice. Thomas told me last night that they have small cottages here that I can choose to live in as well. I think I may ask for one of those. I do like having my own home.” Clary chatted away and Alys listened intently, happ
Aiden dropped Alys on top of the bed so suddenly she squealed and started laughing, before he could turn away she grabbed him by the shirt and pulled him down next to her. Both of them started laughing so hard it made them breathless. “I can’t believe you just dropped me!” Alys accused him in a mock shocked voice. “I dropped you very gently, and onto something soft.” He put his hands up in surrender, but the sly grin on his face said he wasn’t really ready to surrender so easily. Alys bounced up and straddled him. “You don’t look like you were worried at all, what if I had gotten hurt?” She put on a playful pout, then bit her bottom lip making Aiden growl seductively. “Mmm careful I might bite that lip for you.” His eyes flashed with lust, as he brought his hands up to her waist and started lifting her shirt up. She lifted her arms so he could take it off the rest of the way, however as it got over her head he chuckled evilly and left it trapping Alys’s arms and head so she cou
As they walked together downstairs Aiden pointed out the different floors and what were on them, as a basic tour to start. Then they went down the hall off the stairs on the main floor, towards a lot of talking. They walked into a large room which looked like it could be a ball room but was currently set up much like a large dinning room with tables spread out around the room and along the back wall was a counter that was being replenished with food. “This is the dinning hall. Most of the unmated pack members eat their meals here. We have a full time staff just for cooking the meals. I’ll have to introduce you to the head chef later. I think the two of you will hit it off great.” Aiden explained as they walked in. Slowly as more people saw Aiden the room got quieter and quieter they were all watching Aiden guiding Alys through the dinning room. They walked to the head of the room where a larger table was set a little off from the rest. It looked like the head table at a wedding. Then
Alys walked into the suite and a smile lit up her face when she saw Aiden. He couldn’t help the big smile that spread across his own face on seeing her. She was glowing. “Did you have fun with Sara today?” He got up and walked over to her slipping his arm around her waist and pulling her in for a kiss. Her hands came up to his chest as she gripped his shirt kissing him back ever so sweetly. “I had a great day. I don’t know if you will be able to top it with this date. We even had sushi.” She tapped a finger on her lip as if thinking, he growled and nipped at her finger then leaned in to kiss her again. “Challenge accepted.” He murmured against her lips. “You should go get changed. And definitely put on that lacy number you sent me a picture of earlier.” Alys laughed lightly at his comment and went to bring her things into the bedroom. There was a quiet knock at the door and Aiden went to answer it. It was the rest of her shopping. “Thank you.” Aiden smiled and nodded at the pack
Instead of getting in his Jeep he continued to walk down the street with her, hand in hand. The weather was perfect for this early spring evening, a gentle breeze wound its way through the city streets as the street lights were slowly turning on as the sun set in the distance. They walked for a couple blocks, lightly chatting together before entering another old looking building. It was a beautiful book store. It had a small coffee shop in the front corner and three floors of books on old wooden bookshelves that reached floor to ceiling, there were even little nooks and crannies that had comfortable chairs and side tables so people could sit and go through the books. It had used and new books, used books being on the top floor. “I know how much you like books and coffee so I thought you would like to come here. It used to be the old city library, but they converted it to a store. It’s a unique building with some great coffee.” Aiden told her, as they waited in line for their coffee.
