-Rachel-
I've had two days to myself. Last night I couldn't sleep. After talking to my mother, I think these are my mates. In my dreams, they are always there, all four. All four are so different, while outwardly they appear to be the same person. Their smells are different and now that I have smelled them all, I can keep them well apart. I can smell them more and more. It seems like it's getting more every day. My mother had also predicted this, the attraction would become greater and harder to resist. My wolf will want to visit the men more and more and I noticed that last night. The only one I find scary is Christian or Chris. He looks at me, but differently from the other three. He sometimes seems angry that I'm there. He says what to say, but nothing more. He looks at his brothers when I'm talking to them and I feel his eyes constantly on me.
This morning at breakfast, he was sitting across from me, but when Eric, Jake and Kenneth came downstairs, he moved up so that I was sitting across from Kenneth and he was two chairs away from me. His eyes are constantly on me.
"Ready for a day of kids around you?" I smile at Anthony and Matthew. They were a little too happy that it didn't go through yesterday. Both shake their heads.
"No!" Says Matthew.
"Kenneth, Jake? Last chance to switch." Anthony says
Kenneth and Jake both laugh loudly "No friend! You can go along with Rach." Says Jake
"Guys, come on. We talked about this yesterday." Laughs Eric. He says that nobody really wanted to join me, so they played for it. Poker. The twins lost and had to go with me.
"What are we going to do, Chris?" Asks Eric, and I look at Chris.
"We have a quiet day of Pack things, first training with the warriors, that's actually the whole morning. And in the afternoon I have to read and prepare some things. We have a pack meeting tonight."
"Ow I'll join. I'm curious how you organize these things with such a big pack." Eric says when he eats his sausage.
"Ready to go?" asks Justin and I nod. I clean up my plate in the kitchen and follow Justin to the day center. He introduces me to a number of employees there and I decide to work with the babies next to Julia in the morning. Julia is a somewhat older wolf, she has never found her mate and no pups herself. "I can give these pups my love." She says and I nod.
Together we walk into a group with eight babies. I meet a number of mothers, also some single fathers. My heart breaks when I hear some stories. A mother left the father alone after giving birth, to reject her mate and move to another pack far away. How can you do that? Your own pup!
We sing songs to the pups, give them bottles and some can already crawl and when I'm sitting on the floor, three pups crawl up to me and I help them all sit up straight when we read a book together and I show the animals in the book.
After the simple but good lunch, I go with Jannet to a group with older pups. They are almost ready to go to school.
I build blocks with a number of pups and read stories and sing songs together. We eat fruit together and we go outside. Anthony and Matthew are used as a climbing frame and I notice that the pups look up to Justin. When I'm sitting in the sun with a few pups, I ask him to sit with me as well. When he comes to sit down, a few pups recoil.
"Do you know who this is?" I ask and some pups nod as a number of pups hold their heads down.
"That's Alpha Justin." Says a girl, her name is Anna.
"Very well Anna, this is indeed Alpha Justin." I compliment her.
"He's a good friend of mine," I say and the eyes get big.
"Are you friends with the Alpha?" a boy asks and I nod.
"Justin, these are your future warriors, omegas, talk to them. They are more afraid of you than you are of them." I link him. I know that now that I've opened the line for him, he can link me too. As long as I'm in his pack, he can always link me.
"I don't know what to say, I'll never come here." He links back.
"What would you like to ask Alpha Justin?" I ask the pups and then they come loose. They ask Justin everything from his favorite color, to his favorite food. They also complain about having to eat vegetables from their mothers and, to my surprise, Justin also tells them something about himself.
"I used to always have to eat vegetables from my mother." He says "And look how big and strong I've become! I'm sure Anthony and Matthew also had to eat vegetables and they're much bigger and stronger." He laughs and the pups look at Anthony and Matthew, who are still playing around with some kids.
-Justin-
This morning she sat at the table like a goddess. Her blonde hair again in a loose braid, a lace halter top and soft pink, almost baby pink, pants, not the most perfect outfit for children. Mom always told me that if she went out with us we were never allowed to wear light clothes for the stains. She always had something blue or green on or black.
I didn't see her, Rachel, for two days, but I didn't dare to look her up either. I heard from Max's pool, the f**ker just touched her half naked body and if I'm to believe Max, they almost kissed. A-hole. I heard James brag this morning about how close she had been and how she was leaning against him and I have to say honestly I'm terribly jealous. On both of my brothers. They do things like that and I get to see babies and toddlers.
Sigh.
It's supposed that the Twins are just as excited about it as I am. The only one who is enthusiastic is Rachel.
I walk with her with much reluctance, but her enthusiasm is contagious. She talks to the staff and decides to join the baby group in the morning. She talks to several parents, most of them are mothers. When she's talking to a number of fathers, my wolf gets restless, especially if the fathers don't have a mate. She continues to talk to one of the fathers for a long time. I do know who he is. His mate rejected him after the birth of their daughter. Anthony and Matthew also get restless and step towards the pair.
"Alpha Justin?" I look next to me and Julia is standing by me, the teacher of the baby pups.
"Yes Julia, what can I do for you?"
"Can't she stay? She is a natural, her warmth and love for these pups is unprecedented." She says, and together we follow her. She cuddles with some sad babies and as soon as she takes them in her arms, they are quiet and some even seem to laugh.
My heart overflows when I see how she takes care of these pups, how she cuddles with them, gives bottles and sings songs. She's not too good for anything and sits on the floor, just like Julia, changing as many diapers as the others in the group. I want to make a pup with her. F**k What?
Lunch is disappointing here. I will also discuss this at the pack meeting. These women are busy taking care of our pups all day and then they only eat bread, also often from the freezer and not even fresh. That has to change.
After lunch, we go to a somewhat older group, the group that prepares the pups for next year when they are allowed to go to school.
Rachel sits on the floor with the children, they paint, color, build with blocks, sing songs and read to the children. When we go outside, she convinces Matthew and Anthony that it is fun to play with the children and soon the two big men are on all fours and there are children on their backs as they run through the large garden.
I sit next to her on the grass when my heart stops.
"Justin, these are your future warriors, omegas, talk to them. They are more afraid of you than you are of them." She links me, she f**king links me. Her beautiful voice is already beautiful, but in my head she sounds like an angel. Wtf she links me.
"I don't know what to say, I'll never come here." I link back.
She grabs my hand and gently squeezes it as she turns to the pups again. She asks them questions and the kids go wild on me. They want to know everything about me and all the while I'm sitting hand in hand with her. My wolf gets hysterical and tells me to kiss her. F**k that really can't be here.
When the day is over and we walk back, she showers all three of us with compliments and tells us how much fun it was. Over dinner, she keeps talking about it and I can't help but stare at her and I link Max.
"We need to talk. I'm going crazy."
