I am submitting this the same day I see the first 3 chapters up on Lit so we just wait for them to put the next ones up. So happy they aren't taking more than two days or so! Thanks for the comments about the grammar, I am really trying hard to get better on it. You will see me evolving on the next chapters as well. That being said, here are the next 3 chapters! I hope you enjoy and please comment if you like the story and what do you think of the characters, you have no idea how much that means for a writer, it helps us know how our story and creation over all is being taken, sometimes we try to give you an idea and you get something different, so all that is being shaped thanks to your comments! ***** Chapter 4 "Going back to normal" *Meadow* So here I am, loving this simple and comfortable dress, a sexy lingerie that made me feel hot and bothered inside, and about to knock on the door of his study when I hear a loud thump and something made of glass being broken. I knock on the door and open it before I get an answer. "Caleb? are you ok?" I see him crushing a phone with his hand while a vase lays broken in pieces at the floor. He turns around to face me and I see anger in his gaze that slowly turns into sadness. What was troubling him I didn't know; but I wanted to erase the sadness from his eyes. "Meadow..." He whispered and I saw small drops of blood coming from his tight grip on the now broken phone. I rushed to him and took his hand, trying to make him release its tight grip. At first he looked at me in shock, his dark eyes distracting me for a second but then I looked around and saw an open door that led to a bathroom. I pulled him with me and he followed me in silence. Once we reached the sink, I turned the water on and pulled his hand under it. He winced and his eyes shot to his hand; finally realizing what was happening, he started to let go and I could pull the wrecked phone out of him. I made sure to pour enough water on his hand before turning it off, and then I pulled a hand towel to gently dry his cuts. "You are lucky, they are only small clean cuts... you should try to control your temper a bit more." I managed to said, a bit angry at him for being so reckless. He was silent for a long time while I was finishing drying his injured hand and wrapping a clean towel around it, making it look as if it was almost a boxer globe. I resisted the urge to chuckle. When I looked up at him I thought I saw a faint of green glow in his eyes, he was staring at me almost with disbelief. "You... you didn't have to do this..." He whispered again and I felt goosebumps. A phone back in his study broke the spell that had us captured. And though I was sad to see him excuse himself to go pick it up, I think I am confident enough to believe he feels this weird, strange connection between us, too. I walked out of the bathroom and looked around his study as he kept talking on the phone at his desk. I surely hope he doesn't break this one as well. To see the place where I first met him under a new light was very revealing; I could see the walls of books he had almost all around, no paintings, and a huge fireplace with that dreamy couch in front of it. His desk was next to the window, the chair facing the light. I was caught by the raw but warm vibe everything gave. The wooden floor was neatly polished, the huge center rug had egyptian patterns and drawings. "I will postpone it as much as I can, will be at least a few more days." I finally caught part of his conversation, not really giving it much interest. I looked at him and he was staring back at me, he smiled and I blushed. I sat on the comfortable couch and sighed, feeling like snuggling something and everything. This couch definitely was wicked, it made me feel things I wanted to do to him. I started to pull my dress down and looking at any possible wrinkles it might had before I noticed he was standing next to me. I looked up and bite my lower lip. "Hmm... where were we? Ah lunch. Shall we?" He said extending his healthy hand for me to take. I actually hesitated, I had just sat in here and was so comfortable. But his smile won me over, I took his hand and he pulled me gently, making me stand effortlessly. "Don't you want to call your magic nurse to check on your hand first?" I asked worried. He shook his head and removed his loose tie, taking off the towel and wrapping the tie around it. "I will be fine, trust me?" I chuckled. He led me through a corridor and then a main stair that took us to the front of the house. It was a very big residence, with at least two floors on its grounds. He opened the door and made a gesture for me to walk out first. I almost giggled, he was being such a gentleman, my mother would have been drooling over him. I could finally admire close hand the beautiful settings. The gardens were untamed, slightly cut here and there just to make it less wild but I could see how most of it was untouched. He led me through a path of rocks and dirt and we finally arrived a clear between the trees and saw a blanket, several plates with fruits and salty treats next to my wine. I gasped and looked at him, he had a huge grin on his face. "I hope you don't mind." I was blushing and smiling from ear to ear. We both sat on the blanket and enjoyed a truly pleasant evening. We talked about silly things, the weather, how tall should the grass be allowed to grow before it becomes a problem, etc. He took a sip of my wine and really enjoyed it, enough to have some for himself. I wasn't sure if he was pretending to like it just for me until he fought me for the bottle and took the last of it. I pretended to pout but I was laughing too hard hard. "I promise you next time I will have one for you and one for me. If you let me enjoy your company a second time, that is." He said once we both calmed down. I smiled and held silent for a few seconds before I nodded slowly. "I would really like that, Caleb." He sighed and I saw that sad smile back on him again; something inside me told me he was about to say something I might not like. "I have some business to attend to unfortunately, and I can't leave them for tomorrow. The people I need to meet with are flying to another country in a few hours. Your car is on my garage, you can leave anytime you want... or stay as long as you wish. I will be back tonight. Maybe dinner together?" He finished with a little hope. I smiled but shook my head, focusing my eyes on my entwined fingers at my lap. "I really appreciate it Caleb, but I should go. I have things to get ready for work tomorrow. You had been the best distraction I could have this weekend, though." This was my sign, I needed to go before I regretted it, as a huge part of me wanted to stay. He nodded at me and sighed, sliding a hand thru his hair as if he was thinking. "Perhaps dinner tomorrow then? or going out during the weekdays is not allowed?" He said with new found hope in his eyes. I really wanted to, but mondays were the worst, meetings and consultations on the department were a must. "Please believe me I want to. But my mondays, every single one of them, are filled with too much work to do and late hours with meetings." "I understand. I hope you do not take offence by my invitations, I would hate to seem like I am pushing you." He said with half a smile. "Don't be sorry, I... I want to get to know you more. Maybe lunch on tuesday?" My hope high. He sighed again and I felt his sadness creep into me. "I must travel tuesday, so I guess for now, this will be all I can enjoy of your presence." I felt a knot in my throat, as if I was saying goodbye for ever. I fighted a tear and he smiled at me. "Well, let's start by exchanging numbers, how about that?" He offered a simple solution. I want more but a number was going to be my only chance. I really want to get to know him more. "I think that is a great idea. When are you coming back from your trip?" "I have to be honest, I am not from around here. I only came here for the burial of my friend's son. But I think I found a good reason to come here more often." Was he being real? "I thought we were at your house." I managed to ask, not hiding my surprise. "It is now, I bought it before you woke up this morning." He said while I was holding my mouth open. There must be other reasons why he bought this house, since probably costed a small fortune. It will never be just for a silly girl like me. I looked around, feeling nervous. "It is a good acquisition; congratulations." He chuckled and nodded. "Thank you, I think it was a good investment. I can recognize something worth it when I have it in front of me." *Caleb* She is suspecting but not believing I got this place just to be close to her. I couldn't pass the chance, the owners had been trying to sell it for years, they gave me a good price for the land. I don't know how I will survive the next couple of days without seen her. I need to leave her guarded. Perhaps Alexei can have some easy job while looking after her in my absence. My wolf was pacing wanting me to do more than this, but I might scare her if I do. The mating pul is a painful torture for us, we are entitled to claim her, but she is human, and we need to court her. She deserves it, my wolf agrees with a huff and lays in all fours looking at me with annoyance. He knows I am right. Conviving with your beast is not easy. I walked her to the guest room so she could gather her stuff. On the way she was silent and pensive. I am dying to know what she is thinking, what is she feeling. Once we got to the garage she gasped at my cars, I chuckled. I am a proud collector, and I bought two Mustangs that I needed earlier in the trip. If she saw my entire collection, she might fly away scared. Money tends to do two things on woman, either draw them like flies or scared them away. What a bittersweet moment when we said goodbye. I held her in a hug, my body trembling to do more, my lips almost shaking as I kissed her cheek. Her smell was driving us crazy and my wolf was about to take over. She seemed more confident though, and she left in her car with half a smile but without looking back. I wonder if I did something wrong, if I could have done something else or something different. When I got back inside, Alexei was waiting for me in my study. "I hope she didn't cut you..." "No, I was on my cellphone and cut myself with it while I crushed it. She played nurse." He chuckled slightly. I was very happy to hear him talk again. "So she is the one?" "Without a doubt... I am already about to lose my mind for letting her leave." He raised his eyes at me and shook his head. "I remember how it was, tho my mate was wolf, made things easier." "After all these years Alex... " I sighed and sat on my desk. He held silence for a while. "The Goddess never forgets someone... you just had to look harder maybe." I stared back at him. He never lost hope on me, even tho I gave up long time ago. "I owe you too much, brother." "You owe me just one thing... revenge. Anything else, is part of job." He said to me as he got up, ready to leave. "I guess you will make me stay and keep an eye on her, right?" "You guessed correctly. You might need a few days off, this shouldn't be a hard task." "It's ok, I will do it. Will give me time to find some peace of mind. Will get you her info in the morning." "Alex... You need to talk to Cara, she is devastated." I said with all seriousness. He sighed and closed his eyes. "I know, I will." --***-- Chapter 5 "Feeling the Fever" *Meadow* Monday came too quickly. I am still trying to wake up while I drink my 3rd cup of coffee at the boss's office and I am doing my best to ignore Gideon in the staff meeting. He has been arguing how people have slow down their production and we are not meeting our standards. I just wanted to tell him people would actually work better without seen his face staring at him constantly. I could not say that, though, it would be too bold of me after friday's argument. Instead, I decided to think in a pair of black eyes and that thought made me blush instantly. I was thinking on our lunch yesterday, how we both were just free and relaxed. I never felt him tense or as if he was hiding something from me, he was just open and fun. Except that moment when I caught him at his study wrecking his cellphone, he had been a gentleman with me. I could still smell his earthy perfume after we hug each other when we said goodbye. I almost forgot to give him my number but he made sure I would remember. He recorded his on my phone before handing it to me with a kiss on my forehead. "So what's so funny Delane?" Gideon's question brought me back to the meeting. Crap! I was smiling from ear to ear and everyone was looking at me. He was really upset. "I am sorry, Gideon." I cleared my throat and sat straight, pulling a few papers out from my folder. Here goes nothing! "I am not thinking it is funny, far from that, I think you are completely right." He was in shock, I could see him ready to shoot something back at me but I caught him out guard. I kept going. "I think our people have slowed down their production and Gideon has been quite accurate on his view of the situation. This is why I had made this strategy plan to offer some new incentives to our most valuable employees, and we all know that if we encourage the key players, we will have a huge increase in the overall performance of the production staff." I concluded. I wasn't sure at first, but I had this ace under my sleeve. I had been working on it for last two weeks, and he just gave me the perfect opportunity to bring it up to everyone. Oh he wasn't happy at all, but my boss encouraged me to continue and so I did. When we finished, my boss approved me going forward with elaborating my strategy, and present it again to him on last staff meeting friday morning. I was really excited, this was my big chance to show how much I like what I do and that I want to help the company with my knowledge. I sat at my desk and after a few minutes I felt my phone buzz. I rushed to take it out of my pocket and saw it was from him. I took a deep breath before reading it. *Caleb- Good evening Meadow, I wasn't sure what time you woke up, and I didn't want to interrupt your work, so I thought I would wait for lunchtime to say hi. How is your day going? I gasped, looking at my phone's clock it was already past noon. I was too excited I forgot what time it was. I started to get my things to go out and quickly replied. *Meadow- Good evening Caleb! you can't imagine how well timed your message came! I actually forgot to go get lunch, imagine that! you are saving me again :). I chuckled and felt the phone buzz again, I didn't look at it right away so I took the elevator down to the lobby. We have a security staff that makes everyone who enters and leave go through this scan to make sure no one is armed. I always thought it was silly to do it on the way out; if they did their job well, no one would get in with a weapon, so why check on their way out? They would never listen to my point anyway. I was on the short line of 4 people to get scanned and leave when I felt my heart beat faster; I wasn't sure why, probably the excitement again of the presentation earlier today. Two more people to go then I was going to be out in time to at least get a sandwich from the store at the corner. When there was only one person left, my eyes caught a dark coated gentleman of familiar figure outside at the entrance. My heart pounded faster, it was him lying against the door of one of his expensive cars. I blushed immediately as I caught his eyes looking back at me, his smile was disarming. I walked out still a little shaken by the surprise, and he chuckled with his phone on the hand. "You didn't get my last message?" He said as he leaned to kiss my cheek. I know he noticed how red my cheeks were. "I am sorry! I rushed to get out as soon as I could and was going to check once I left..." I said almost breathlessly. He chuckled and extended his arm. "Can I make you company to lunch then? even if it is only for a few minutes." I nodded and took his arm. "Where to?" he said, looking around lost. I chuckled. "Well, since I don't have much time, I was thinking to get a sandwich in a store, right at that corner." I pointed out where and he walked towards there with me. "This morning I realized we both didnt thought about lunch today, we just went straight to dinner tonight or lunch tomorrow. So why lose time now?" We both laughed and I went to for a line to get the sandwich and he grabbed us a table. I was smiling from ear to ear again, he had that effect on me. I got to the cashier, ordered my sandwich and two juices, then paid. As I got back, I noticed he had changed his smile for a more neutral look; he was staring at the window until I sat down and he looked back at me, a small smile reached only his mouth, not his eyes. "What is wrong?" I asked as I gave him the juice he allowed me to get him. He looked at me and shook his head. "Nothing to worry, Meadow. And thank you for the juice, you didn't have to." He made me chuckle. "Of course I had to, you did much more for me with a fancy lunch out in the open." He laughed, and I could stare at him like this for hours. "So, I think you have a fan. Well, one more besides me that is." He said just casually, and I almost choked on my drink. "What?" I managed to finally say. Did he just admitted to like me? I don't think I can eat anymore after just hearing this. He shook his head and pointed at my food. "You need to eat Meadow." "I am sorry, I think I misheard you." I said when I grabbed the sandwich, not really intending to eat it. "Well, I have a body guard that follows me around, and he told me there was this guy, blue suit and blonde hair, who was waiting for you in the corner of your work, and he was about to rush to you until you walked with me. He stopped and waited, and then followed us over here. He was looking at both of us enter then went back to your building. You know who I am talking about?" He said and I was still processing his words but I nodded. Did Gideon wanted to confront me? I sighed. "I just lost my appetite." I laid against the chair and looked down at my sandwich before dropping it back on the plate. "Meadow?" he asked and I looked back at him. "Who is him? is he bringing you troubles?" I was putting together my thoughts when I felt his hand take mine. "I meant it, what I said a few moments ago. I like you, and I feel that there is a small chance you might like me back. That is why I took the risk to come here uninvited. I wanted to see you again before my trip. Was I wrong?" I shook my head and bite my lip. He took a deep breath and sighed as if it was in relief. "Good, that means I worry about you too. So please share with me." I nodded and looked back at the window. "His name is Gideon, and he has been the cause of all my stress at work. We both work in the same department, but he is always pushing me. He sometimes asks me to stay over extra hours; he is entitled to as he is my supervisor. But then he stays with me too sometimes and always has an excuse for me to go over my reports for ever and ever, they are just never good enough." I sighed and shook my head, then felt a gentle squeeze from his hand to mine and I felt warmth take over me. I smiled at him as I saw his face full of encouragement. "Last friday he asked me to come work on saturday, and I refused. I have this routine each two weeks to go visit my mom... well maybe I overreacted, maybe I could have come and visit my mother on sunday. He just insisted and I got defensive, we started arguing really loud, until our boss came to break us and sent me home. Then today, I was... distracted at the meeting, and he called me out right in front of everyone! I was lucky I was prepared with some strategy plans I had been working on and was able to turn things around, which made him angry. So I guess you rescued me again without even planning to." I chuckled the irony and shook my head. He released my hand and I instantly looked up at him. Simply His Ch. 04-06 "Well for one, he is an asshole." He said as he ran his fingers thru his hair. "Pardon my language." He added looking back at me and I smiled. "I think you did well, there are limits to what one employer can request from its employees and he has been pushing that line one too many times with you. I am very happy I took the chance to come find you today. Please promise me to take care of yourself from now on, this guy seems overly interested in you and I don't like it. At least, be careful until I can come back from my trip and keep you safe." He said with a smile and I just melted right there. "So you will come back to town?" I admitted my hopes were high. "Did you doubt it before?" He said almost offended. I blushed and lowered my head. He took my hand again and pulled my chin up with his other one. "I am a man of my word. I will be back by the end of the week and we will go out in a proper date, if you allow me to take you that is. I really want to get to know you better Meadow." I was sure I stopped breathing, these type of things don't happen to simple girls like me. I nodded and he smiled. "Now finish your meal before I walk you back to the office." He laid back on his chair and smirked. I giggled and started to eat it as if it was the most delicious thing ever. His smile wanted me to do everything to him. I blushed as he perked a brow, almost as if he could read my mind, and I had to look away to the window until I was done. When we stood in front of each other at my building's entrance, I felt a bit nervous. Were we rushing this? He admitted to be interested in me, and I sure as hell was interested in him. But I started to think it was perhaps all happening too fast. He caught my distracted look and took my hand gently in his. "Meadow... I think I am going a bit crazy here. If you want me to stop just say so. I have always been too busy and too caught up in things to look anything or anyone until I met you, and can't stop thinking about you... in a good way... I just want to get to know you. But I dont want you to feel pushed to say yes to any of my invitations if you are not sure or..." The hell with it, he is just as insecure as me. I reached up and kissed him, feeling my own lips burn in contact with his; he was surprised but didn't resist it, my heart was about to come out through my chest. I was about to pull back and say I was sorry when I felt his arms wrap around me and hold me gently. He kissed me back! His lips moved oh so softly against mine, it just felt right. We were like teenagers with innocent first kisses; he didn't push it for more, and i held my greed for wanting it to be more. When we broke apart I was panting and felt as almost losing balance. He gently caressed my face and a painful look showed in his eyes. "Now I really don't want to make that stupid trip..." --***-- Chapter 6 "Feeling the pull" *Caleb* I haven't stop pacing around my office as my third in command reported to me about our recovery operation. He has been nervous because we left him in charge but he understood the seriousness of the situation. We both had laid a plan to get our troops recovered and in training, remodeled security shifts and reinforced our compound to make sure no one dares to cross our land barriers again. It was all of huge importance, and I kept trying to focus, but I still felt the tingles on my lips from our kiss. My mate was far from me and I craved her touch, how innocent that might be. "Alpha, we can continue this later if you feel the need to rest." He said after clearing his throat. I sighed and put a hand on his shoulder. "I am sorry Craig, I am just... distracted... but I can see already how things have improved with your assessment and guide. I see the result of our plans. Alexei is going to be back in around a week and you will have to face his grumpy ass when he sees we changed all his old do's." I chuckled and he instantly relaxed, laughing and nodding. We both knew Alexei hated things to change without his supervision. Once he left my office, I opened the first drawer of my desk and looked at my cellphone. A wide smile as I read her message. *Meadow- Thank you for calling last night, it was so nice to talk to you and continue on this crazy journey of getting to know each other. Can I be honest? Her message was sent two hours ago, and she is probably still working. I didn't want to interrupt her and distract her so I held on tight to my crave and decided to wait. Just one more hour till lunch time and I could text her and call her. Last night I felt impossible to stop my fingers to select her name and hit dial. When she answered at the 3rd rang I was already getting nervous. But it was worth it, she had just finished dinner and was preparing for bed. We talked for over an hour and in that time we shared last names, and job descriptions in more detail; we were both ashamed we didn't actually ask any of that when we first met. Her building held many companies but the one she was working for was a real estate agency. She was their connection to the sales agents and she wanted to increase their earnings percentage as encouragement for the agents to sell more. I on the other hand, did lied a bit. I told her I was in the import/export business and I was the director, which was why I had times when I had to travel constantly. What did I imported and exported? Well when she asked me, I felt a bit nervous, but I went with something not too far from reality. I told her I was in Security services and equipment, transportation consulting and technology, data processing equipment and services. I didn't lied that much, I do all that besides a few more things. She was impressed but didn't let that go over too much. We went through what kind of food we wanted to eat and what things we liked to do when we had free time. Time went by so quickly. It was finally noon when I texted her back. *Caleb- I am dying to hear your honest thoughts. I hope you are having a good day. I felt my anxiety grow as I sat on the dinner table waiting for my meal while I looked at my phone over and over. After 15 minutes of no answer, I grew worried and called Alex. "Where is she?" "Well hello to you too Alpha. I am doing just fine, thank you." I sighed. "Alexei, report." My command voice was strong, he took a second before replying. "She is about to go out of the building, a long line in the security checkout. She looks happy and is talking to another girl who is in front of her at the line. I will scan her face through our recognition software and get you her ID as well in a few minutes." I nodded, satisfied by his report, then immediately felt guilty by the way I treated him. "Thank you Alex." "Oh now I am Alex?" He replied, completely in his place. I smirked at the hints of the old Alex coming back. I missed his challenging personality. He will always be the only person I let defy me. Well, he and now her, tho she never seems to defy me, we just click together so well. Time will tell, and time is what I wanted to rush by so I could be next to her. "I talked to Cara, she cried on me..." He admitted, and I felt a shot of sadness. I waited in silence for him to continue. "We both cried. It was needed. But we will be fine, as long as we have each other to comfort. She insisted on coming with me to keep an eye on the future Luna, she wants to know her too. Is that ok?" "Are you kidding? Cara is the best tracker in the pack, she is extremely smart and loyal. You hit the jackpot with her. I would be more than happy for her to join you." I said with wide smile, I could feel him on the other side smiling proud as well. "She is out of the building now, just said goodbye to the girl, hold on, let me take a pick of her." He took a few seconds then continued. "I will get you the info of the girl soon. She seems to be walking towards that small hole you went with her last time." I laughed so hard. "Well, if she likes it, must be a worthy hole, respect your future Luna." I said trying to sound serious. Then I felt my phone buzz and I looked quickly at the screen; it was a message from her. "I have to go, she is texting me. Please don't leave her tail until she is home safe. That co worker of hers gives me a very bad vibe." "Don't worry, I got her well covered. I sneaked in last night and put two surveillance cameras inside their floor. I can watch over her from here." "You did what?! Send me the info Alex! You sneaky bastard! good thinking buddy, well done... you will be greatly rewarded..." I was grinning, and I knew he was too. He cut the call just a second before I tried to. *Meadow- Hey! Sorry I took long to reply, I just met my boss's daughter, she came to town to visit her father and he asked me to take her out to show her the city a bit. Will probably do that tomorrow. She seems like a nice girl. I am having a good day so far, how about you? Well that info came quickly, so I had nothing to suspect from the daughter of her boss, at least it wasn't another guy. *Caleb- My day was just filled with meetings and waitings. *Meadow- Meetings? awww... waitings? everything ok? *Caleb- Waiting for you to reply my question, which was a subject you brought up. *Meadow- Thank you for making me blush. I was going to say... that to be honest, I already miss you. I smiled as much as I my lips could contour; I sighed with such joy. I felt ridiculous and at the same time so full. *Caleb- You have no idea how happy it makes me read you say that. That means I am not alone. I miss you too. I heard my desk phone and felt startled. I picked it up and cleared my throat before answering. "Hello." "Alpha Rowen, we had another rogue attack at our allies in the South. I am growing tired of this bastards, we need to do something!" I recognized the angry voice all too well. "Alpha Demark, I am brewing a plan and need you to trust me. If you do, this will all be for the best." I heard him growl lowly. "What do you want me to do." "Right now, what is most important is to aid our allies, we all made a pact and we will honor it till our last breath. I am going to gather some of my trust worthy warriors and send them to you. Please wait for them, and once they arrive, go help cure the wounded ones and re organize their pack. Their Alpha was new, Smithson right?" "Yes, the little pup is alive and shaken, he just took over his father's death a couple of months ago. He is just 24 years old." "I just want you to wait for my men to arrive, the Rogues are being smarter than before and I don't want to lead two aid squads. Do not underestimate them, is what we did and we lost Alexei's cub." I didn't like to bring the subject, but Demark was known to be of volatile temperament but also had two pups of his own, the subject will make him think twice before doing anything crazy. "I know... I know... how is he handling it by the way? is he back on the job?" He said, a bit more toned down. Message received at least. "He is taking a few days, under my orders. I gave him a few easy tasks to do at his home town while he and Cara take time to mourn their lost." "Poor Cara, my wife was devastated when she saw her cry. We will be waiting for your men Rawen, just don't waste time." "You will have them in your territory by the end of the night." He sighed and mumbled an "ok" before he hung up. I sighed and took a deep breath; Cornelius and Agape were a deadly couple and madness was what drove them to do the things they did. I sat on my chair and called my 3rd with a mental link. I felt my phone buzz and rushed to check. *Meadow- Oh I feel a big relief. So we can both join the sanity club! *Meadow- Are you ok? *Meadow- Well, time to get back to work. I hope you are ok. Hit me a text when you can; I can't be on my phone all the time but will be keeping an eye from time to time. Be safe? I lost track of time and made her worried. We have not mated, she doesn't even know what I really am, she might still refuse me and leave. But she already worries about me. The goddess is wise. *Caleb- I am sorry, work stuff, I had to deal with a security breach and was nothing fun. You worry about me? Meadow... I am going to be ok, you please take care of yourself, I will be fine if I don't have to worry about you and that Gideon guy. I hit sent before I could think about it twice. My 3rd knocked on the door and walked in. "Alpha, you called?" "We have to make adjustments to your plan, and I need you to get 5 and send them to Demark's territory, he will be expecting them. The Rogues went after Smithson and we are going to aid them. I want them there tonight Craig. Come back when you have them moving." "Yes Alpha." He was quick and left the room alone for myself and my thoughts. I needed to start thinking how to prepare for their attacks, how to work with my allies and probably do some changes. We needed to start working on different strategies. So much needed to be done, and I had my heart miles away.
