Chapter 7
When we got to the front of the pack house Freya was sitting on the porch with her favorite toy. “ya jenny and I thought she would be joining. Jenny is stopping at the feed barn to grab a bag of her food and extra things she thinks Freya would want.” laughing if it wasn’t for the fact that Freya was bonded to me she would have been stolen by everyone by now. Most of our guardian dogs are white. Why? Easy to spot in a field of brown or green. Our cattle are mostly black so yep. Freya on the other hand does not look like any of the guardians we have. She's tall and thick with a double c. her shoulders come up to just under my chest line.
“ya father said Mary will be sending us with a bunch of cinnie” “bonnies for real like how many. mom has had a no more than two a day rule for the last forever and she didn’t mean two bags.” “they are addictive.” he hums in agreement with a huge grin on his face. “your mother is gonna kill me when we get back huh?” his chuckle was all the answer I needed.
I can still hear Eris yelling back at the barn. I see the big fuzzy bug making her way to the door. “Matilda you bitch don’t you move,” I yell jumping from the van before it stops. For what it's worth she did look guilty for a spider but not stupid she took off in the house so fast. Fucking barbie tits now I won't be able to find her. “fine you win this time but I swear I'm stepping on you next time I see you.” I yell at the door. Not a soul was moving while I was yelling at the stupid thing. I mean I threaten to throw her out a window daily mostly from our room that does not have a real window so it might hurt a little. Huffing I turn around to see everyone standing with looks of pain. “what?” it's max’s barking laughter coming from my left that broke the seal. “you know it's not every day you see your future alpha yelling at a spider-like its a person.” Kaleb laughs out.
“ya, ya screw you all too. Just wait until that bitch tattles on you to Eris.” effectively shutting them all up. Eris is the sweet one the Luna the oh sugar let me help you with that. But you step on her toe and you will wish you had not been born. Trust me I was her first victim. Whoever is her mate better know how to keep his nose clean. She takes that she will be a Luna seriously. She for the most part is the acting Luna for the black rose. She doesn't do it to be called Luna cause she will make you regret calling her Luna here. That is our mother's job. Yes, our mother is dead and buried in the spirit realm with the goddess but she is still the Luna here. From what I understand my parents had a rough start but once they both got some sense knocked into them things got better for them. I hope one day I have a love like my parents had. Just not soon.
“well since we are all here and from the sounds have limited time to load up before Eris reaches us. How about we hit the road and beat her here.” I say throwing bags in the back of the van. When the second van pulls up with jenny the guys all divide up and load up. Jasmine and Kaleb are in the back van to talk about security measures we might need to run. Drills. I know it's their job in the pack to run the security and protection of the pack but do they have to love it so much? I prefer the fighting part of our team. Got my hands dirty and protected my pack. Yep, that is what makes me open my eyes every morning.
I can feel the storm coming. “alright this is not a drill the storm is closing in and if we want to make it out alive we go now. Freya load up.” clapping my hands Freya jumps from the porch and bounds to the van jumping in and plopping her big ass in the passenger seat. When one of the youngest warriors we are bringing starts to ask about it Kaleb smacks his back “you really wanna tell the hound of hell she cant sit where she wants.” to give voice to that Freya lets out a warning grrrrrr noise. For his credit, he didn’t pee himself but just barely not. When I tell you no one can tell you what breed Freya is I mean my father even contacted the humans and nothing. It's on the long list of things he says he gonna ask some dude Ambrose. At this point, this Ambrose is someone my father made up.
With the last door clicking shut we head out. Leaving the rounded driveway in front of the pack house I see my sister glaring daggers at the vans. Waving to her as we pass she flips me off and links “this is over not by a long shoot.” “I love you to Eris let me know how the party went and if you find your mate I love you little sister” “humph only by five minutes. I will miss you hurry home to stay safe and nope you'll just have to come home soon to find out how it goes.” sending me a mental image of her sticking her tongue out at me. Cutting the link we settle in for a long drive north. How long is a drive? No one knows for sure the snowpack has not ever given an actual location of the pack just where to go. So we head to the ferry almost three days' drive away. Yep, no way I was making it back for the party even if I tried.
Feel the tug as we cross the border. The loss of the pack's closeness left me as we drive away. I can feel my pack bonds but I lost almost all the link bonds. Inside the borders, we can link each other at a thought. But the border is as far as our link goes. The alpha's link reaches maybe ten feet further out than the border but he is the alpha and one day I will be able to link just as far. But for now, it's limited to my little group until we are home again.
“Okay alpha, hand over the goods I know you are holdin”
