Luka (Moroz Brothers Book 2) [COMPELTE]

VIOLET 4

I woke up slowly to the sound of a phone ringing. I looked around as felt my mate moving behind me. I blinked a couple times until his presence was behind me was completely gone and I rolled to my back. It was still dark out, probably would be for another hour. As it was it was early still. We hadn't been in bed and sleeping long.

I was given moments before I heard the ringing stop and his gruff sleep addled voice. "Hello?" It was quiet for three seconds before he groaned. "I have been traveling for three days. I just got to sleep- No. I won't. I am on vacation, I don't want to come home. I am- I am going back to sleep now, turning my phone off." He hung up and groaned before I opened my eyes again as he came closer.

"Who was calling this early?" I whispered and he sighed as he got to the bed again.

"One of my brothers, apparently just realized I wasn't just out of the house for a couple days." He whispered as he got in the bed and he laid on his back and I moved to get my face on his chest. He moved his arm around my body, putting it on the smallest part of my waist and I snuggled in. My brain was foggy but I could feel him, he was awake now, maybe he didn't have the best relationship with his brothers... but that could be something that would improve in time.

I fell asleep again, relaxed with him holding me. I woke up to him moving again, this time he tried to be as gentle as possible. He set me on the pillow he had been laying on and I felt his lips on my cheek and I sighed at the contact before I heard him moving around.

He tried to be as quiet as possible. I could hear the zipper on his luggage and it took a few minutes until I heard it again as he closed it. I heard the bathroom door and then the shower and I blinked my eyes open slowly.

It was 20 minutes before my alarm was set to go off, I really wished for my own shower, and hopefully if my mate took a fast one I could still get in a hot one.

I grabbed my clothes and shifted around a bit before hearing someone coming in the front door. Or at least trying to. I got up and headed there and opened the chain. "I don't smell any food cooking-"

"Mina you know I eat at the hotel banquet." I told her and she pulled out a thermos. "What are you doing here anyways?"

"Checking on you. I don't see a bite, I don't smell anything... different about you." She looked me up and down and I rolled my eyes.

"And you know it won't just appear." I told her and she nodded back before trying to look around me.

"Where is your lovely mate?"

"Shower. Why?"

"Well... maybe he needs help on the whole back issue. What time did you two come down from the mountain top?"

"Late last night. We only slept in bed together, nothing else happened." I told her and she nodded and turned to look around me again, and that was when I heard the bathroom door opening.  I looked with her and saw my mate stepping out of the bathroom, his height and shoulders were filling out his black shirt, his legs were long and filling out his jeans.

"Good morning." He nodded to us and I smiled. "If I have the names and faces right you're Cosmina?" He asked like he was hopeful and I smiled as she clapped for her.

"You're a quick learner, tell me, what do you like for breakfast?" Cosmina came to stand side by side with me and I took a deep breath.

"I usually eat whatever the..." I titled my head as he seemed to search for the word. "Whatever is already made." He blinked a couple times like he was still thinking. Then he looked at me.

"I have to shower before my class." I told him and went to grab my clothes on the bed. "Mina, we will meet you at the resort." I told her over my shoulder and she smiled at both of us and nodded slowly. 

"Well, in case you're a coffee nut like me Luka, I brought coffee over." She set the thermos she was holding down and made her way to the door. "I'll make sure mom and dad meet us for breakfast." She hit the door just as I got to the bathroom door.

She walked out and I sighed and leaned my head on the door jam. "Does she come over every morning?" He asked me and I laughed.

"No. Special occasion you could say. Her coffee is always the best." I told him and he nodded and headed for the coffee. I went into the bathroom, starting to undress before getting the hot water on. It was still a little steamy in here but the vent was mostly preventing it. I got into the shower and worked my neck and back before tipping my head back so I was completely soaked.

I blew a little breath of air when the water fell over my face and I reached for my shampoo, my body soap, and my face scrub.

I got everything on my body nice and clean before getting out and wrapping my self in my towels and running my hands through my hair before I put it all up in a bun. With the heat of my body it would help with it drying faster. I got dressed and ran my hands through my hair with the towel Getting it dryer before I took a few deep breaths.

I opened up the bathroom door and saw him drinking from one of my small tea cups and he had his phone in his hand. He looked up when I started making my way to him and he smiled.

"Feel clean and hungry?" He asked and I nodded.

"Did you have to call anyone back? I heard you this morning." I told him and he shook his head.

"I sent messages about what's going on. I told them I am giving myself time with you here with your family before it's my turn to take you to my family." He told me and I nodded slowly.

"Tell me about them, your brothers." I encouraged and he sighed and sipped some coffee.

"I have twins... brothers. They're difficult. Not both of them. I remember growing up after our parents died and the younger of the set was more... he took care of me a lot. Dimitri would dress me and make sure that I washed in the tub and that I learned how to read books. He and his twin are about 8 years older than me. My oldest brother is about 10 years older than me." I licked my lips and nodded. "Dimitri... he isn't the ass he seems to be sometimes. He likes to check in on me and be sincere. Ivan is the real ass. He likes to make fun of me, he likes to call me names... even as a over 30 year old... he's a child."

"And your oldest brother?" I asked knowing he didn't say anything bad or good about him. I would make notes about Ivan and Dimitri in my head so I knew who was who and who to like and who to not like going in. 

"He... well he's mated, has babies on the way. We found out over Christmas that my sister in law is having twins. He's always been very reserved. Quiet and independent. She's slowly bringing him out of his shell. I didn't know that he liked to cook until she showed up. Patty is very supportive and he is getting to open up more."

"And you? How are you with them?"

"Well... I took this vacation because of  Ivan. I needed to get away from him. I hang out a bit more with my oldest brother and he's the one that called me and wanted me to come back today. Dimitri hasn't contacted me but he is kind of the one that knows when to leave me alone." He told me and I nodded again and he sighed. "I feel like this is not the case with your family."

"No... My sisters are very intrusive. I had a boy ask me to a dance... a human, when I was still in school, they all insisted on dressing me, doing my makeup, my hair... stuff like that. I am sure that is what Cosmina wanted to do. Coming and seeing where the whole... mating thing ended last night. My brothers were just protective." I licked my lips and laughed lightly. "That same dance I had 4 chaperones making sure we had a foot between us for our one and only slow dance."

"Sounds like good men." He told me and I nodded... and then I thought about it.

"Your Aunt and Uncle... are they nice?"

"My aunt is probably the only person I know that can be happy and welcoming to total strangers at the drop of a hat. After raising all four of us, they're kind of exploring places. She's actually from here in Romania. Not this pack. She should be visiting her cousins in the country soon." I smiled softly, wondering if he would want to go and see them if they were coming here during his vacation.

"That's so convenient. Are we going to maybe meet up with them first and then head to your home?"

He was quiet for a long time, and again, something passed across my mates face, and I had to wonder if he was hiding something from me. I brushed it off and we got ready to go to breakfast. I was leading the way, holding his hand.

We got to the breakfast hall and I saw my parents and Cosmina. She was standing and she smiled as we came closer with our filled plates.

I sat down near my father and he took the spot near my mother, and before too long we were talking about plans, well... my parents were talking about plans.

"We can find a cabin for you guys, something big. Big enough to have a couple kids, and when or if you have as much as we did then you can expand like we did. The Alpha here is very laid back, he will allow your family to come and go when they want to visit, I am sure your Alpha will do the same-"

"I can't move here to Romania." I heard my mate stop all conversation with that small, few words.

"What do you mean you can't move here? My daughter, as well as all of my children live here. They have mates that are from other countries and they have all moved here. Violet is not going anywhere. She works for me, she lives on the property-"

"Daddy-"

"Vasile..." I looked to my mother who had put her hand on his... and I could see her talking to him in her head and I was just worried about what was going to happen. I never thought about moving to Russia, going there to meet his family and maybe staying until they liked me. But I always thought about staying with my family.

"Why would you move her away from all she knows?" My father asked him after we were all quiet and stoic for a few minutes.
