-Crimson P.O.V.-
The day of the event at Luke’s pack..
“Ooooof.” I groaned as I felt a body slam onto mine. I knew who it was without even having to look. “Jake get off of me, NOW.” I end up shouting as I try to move him off of me.
He doesn’t know but while he was with Seth yesterday, I went out to see a client. It was an Alpha of a very small pack and they were having trouble with Nightwalkers. So, I agreed to help them as I went over to their pack land to meet with the Alpha…It just so happened that in the middle of the meeting, they were attacked but the Nightwalkers didn’t know I was there. I fought off the 10 Nightwalkers and ended up killing them, but I walked away with some damage. I immediately came home after making some of my men come to that pack so they could protect them while training them for the future so they will be better prepared for the next attack. Once I came home, I breathed a sigh of relief as Jake was not home yet so I quickly showered, took some potion, and then went straight to bed. I needed my rest as today was going to be an eventful day.
“It is almost noon. You need to get up, get ready, and eat so we can be on our way.” Jake says while shaking my body to force me to get up.
“OKAY OKAY I AM UP!” I shout as I throw the comforter off of my body. Jake just laughs as he quickly climbs off of my bed and runs out of my room. He knows that I will beat him if he doesn't. I have told him time and time again to stop slamming into me like that in the mornings. Not only does it annoy me but it also hurts like hell since I am almost always healing from some kind of damage.
After stretching my arms and legs, I climbed out of bed and headed over to the bathroom. I took a quick shower making sure to shave my legs, armpits, and other things before shampooing my hair and washing my body down. Once I was nice and clean, I turned off the water before climbing out of the shower while wrapping a towel around me. I then put my hair up in a towel while making my way out of the bathroom. I walked over to my closet and quickly picked out my outfit as I already knew what I wanted to wear. I picked out some dark wash high waisted skinny jeans that stopped right above my ankle, I then picked out a Chain Detail Silky Bustier Crop Top that was a beautiful dark green color, and then paired off the outfit with some dark green Chain Strap Square Toe Heeled Sandals. Honestly, the whole outfit put together looked amazing and I was glad that Mack helped me pick it out.
It took me about 20 minutes to get dried off and dressed. My hair was still up in a towel so I started to walk over to my bathroom when I heard a knock on my door.
“Come in!” I yelled as I stood there waiting for whoever it was to enter. Jake's head soon popped in as he slowly opened up my door. As soon as his eyes land on me, his jaw drops. “I know, I know. I look nice now, what do you want?” I ask with a chuckle as I start to un-wrap the towel from my hair.
“Sorry..it's just..” He stutters out.
“I know, it has been a while. Now, what do you want?” I ask him with a smile while I use the towel to dry off my hair some more.
“Right.” My brother after clearing his throat. “Seth is here to pick me up so I just wanted to come and say bye.”
I give my brother a knowing smile. “Okay. I will see you soon and don’t do anything I wouldn’t do.”
My brother blushes which makes me laugh. “Love you.”
“Love you!” I yell over my shoulder as I start to walk into my bathroom.
I step into the bathroom and grab my blow-dryer to start on my hair. Once my hair was all dry, I then straightened my hair while adding volume to it. I then finished off my outfit as I put on some deodorant, perfume, my watch, some bracelets, a layered necklace, and finally some earrings. My jewelry was simple as it was rose gold and my earrings were simple black hoop earrings, but the hoops weren’t big. I looked myself over in the mirror before adding some winged eyeliner, doing my eyebrows, and then some mascara. Just as I finished with my makeup, my door burst open.
“Come on!” I hear Tom’s voice echo through my room.
“COMING!” I yell as I walk out of the bathroom and towards my nightstand. I pick up my phone and look up to see Tom just standing there staring at me. “What is your problem?” I ask while I put my phone in my back pocket.
“Sorry...it’s just...you look amazing.” Tom stutters out.
I stop and look at him with a smile. “Thank you. I know it is rare for me to be this done-up.” I joke as I walk over to him and grip onto his shoulders. I forcefully turn him around as I push his back to force him to walk.
Tom just stays silent as we both head out of the house, while I lock the house up, and even stays silent while walking to the car. Luke sent a car to pick me up along with Mack and Tom which I thought was a little much. Mack was already in it as Jake was picked up not too long ago by Seth. We reach the car and Tom opens up the door for me causing Mack to turn to look at the sound of the door opening. He freezes once he sees me.
I just roll my eyes. “I know, I did the same thing.” I heard Tom say as he climbed into the car and shut the door.
“Oh, shut up!” I snap at Tom causing him to snicker.
“Gosh, sis...I cannot remember a time that you looked like this.” Mack ends up getting out.
I look to meet his eyes. “It has been a long time since I dressed like this as I was always busy raising my brothers and now with running the business.” I say with soft eyes.
Mack looks at me with sad eyes. “I am sor…” I didn’t let him finish as I held a hand up. “Do not finish that. Nothing is your fault.” I say while keeping my brother’s gaze. He just nods his head and looks forward while I do the same.
40 minutes later...
We finally make it to Luke’s pack and are climbing out of the car when I am slammed into by my godchild, well one of them.
“Hey Charles.” I say while chuckling as I wrap my arms around the 4 year old little boy.
“Hi, auntie c!” The handsome little boy says loudly as he pulls away from the hug with a hug smile on his face.
I smile. “Where are your parents?” I ask as I run a hand through his blonde little curls.
He doesn’t answer as he just grabs my hand and starts to drag me to where they are. Soon I am being dragged through the pack house to the back doors and then literally in the middle of everything that is going on where I soon see Luke with his wife and their two babies. Just as we reach them and before anyone can speak, a deep voice booms from behind me…
“MATE!”
