Chapter 6 - Samuel
After Summer calmed down finally, Kris and Jack said goodbye to everybody else, confirming one last time that everything was fine with the Pack before leaving for their trip, just to five minutes later be followed by the strangest group of people that I could even meet in my life...
"Be a good girl for Sam and the others, okay, Honey?" Penelope spoke, putting her granddaughter in my arms while I was yet confused about what was going on.
Another car was before the Pack's house now, and I was sure it was Sarah's father, the old Beta who was driver seat while Harley was helping the old Alpha with four large suitcases.
"... I don't believe they will really do that." The Beta mentioned coming to my side, running her hand through Summer's hair, tucking a strand behind the little girl's ear as the puppy watched everything that was going on with the same curiosity as me.
"Strangely, I'm not surprised at all about it," Melton said with a slight laugh, stopping beside me too before Vinny joined us.
"I just hope they're not planning to do the same thing to me and Kenzie," The Delta spoke so softly that I almost didn't hear him, but only then, I understood what was happening finally.
He didn't want the older Werewolves to listen to him so they wouldn't have ideas for the future... So they wouldn't do the same to him and his Mate.
... The trip for two that Jackson planned for him and his other half wouldn't be as quiet as he imagined with their families joining them too, and I kind of liked that they would no longer enjoy it as they should...
"What are you whispering about?" Being one of the few people out there without wolf blood like me, Harley questioned the younger ones.
"Nothing, Uncle Harley." They answered like a chorus before disappearing back into the Pack's house, not even looking like they were the so-called 'dominant wolves' of the place.
"..." Harley sighed, making my attention return to him, only to notice that Summer was no longer in my arms, probably she was carried inside by them. "Some things don't change, even if they're all grown up now."
... I must say his words made me a bit curious to know about how Kristian and his friends should have been like as children...
The next day, as Harley told me before joining his wife, Andrés came back from his business trip, and in the evening, he helped me with some simple protection spells, which I already had done in past without knowing what it was.
... Like some kind of self-defense to protect me from Her unconsciously...
On the weekend, the twins would help me to train some combat techniques, but to my surprise, it was none of them who was standing before me...
"What are you doing here?" I asked him as he continued to stare at me with a smirk on his face while showing off his shirtless body.
... Gosh! These well-defined muscles and abs...
"Helping you with your training, what did you think I was doing?" He asked me back, putting his hands in the pocket of the sweatpants, and I couldn't understand why this simple action made me swallow my own saliva like some teenage boy.
But this is not what I should be thinking right now!
"I can see it, but why? Andy and Ace are the ones who would help me today." Some members from the Pack were in there to train too, but they joined the Gamma in their wolf forms to run around the land, leaving us alone in the vast backyard.
"Well, they would help you if it weren't for the unforeseen events that happened to them." He answered while approaching me.
"What did you do?" Without thinking, I asked.
"Nothing. Andy got stuck at work." He said as the distance between us seemed to narrow more and more with each word. "And Ace didn't come back from college this week, apparently he needed to finish something before Monday."
I didn't know what to say, and for the first time since I'd gotten there, it seemed like the silence had overwhelmed the entire Pack and the surrounding forest as I could only hear my breath in there.
... Even the noise from my throat sounded loud in my ears...
I didn't know when he had got so close, but I only noticed our extreme closeness when I felt his hand on my waist, pulling my body closer to his.
Lips close to mine as he made it seem like there was no difference in the height between us while his other hand, clayey, brought my face close to him before I could even understand what was happening...
Making my heart race in my chest without permission.
