Chapter 69
Kai pov
Waking to the scent of fresh snow cream with vanilla all around me has my wolf purring in my chest. The room is still dark. I roll over. It had been dark when I came in last night not bothering to find a light I let my nose direct me to Enoy's bed. I smell two scents in here both sweet scents one just is mouth-watering. Twins since there is a base of vanilla to them.
A knock comes before the door opens. “ Hey kiddo it’s time to get up here’s a set of clothes from the pack closet I think will fit you. I didn’t know shoe size so I figured we could swing by and find a pair.” Philip’s low voice fills the room. “thanks I’ll just be out.” Still worried about what today will bring.
Stumbling to the wall I find a switch flicking it on. Turning around this is the first real glimpse of the room. Pictures cover the walls in the center a perfect blend of a soft pink blending into a deep purple almost black. Enoy bed is covered in black grays and silvers. While the other bed looks like a sunrise with pinks and oranges. You can see the difference in their personalities and their differences just by looking around this room.
Their beds are the same. Same base same shape. The bedding is the same fabric and style just different color schemes. I wonder what is said about twins from the royal family being the embodiment of night and day? But then that does not add up as the alpha of alphas Apollo was a twin to Luna Artemis. But then the alpha did say the mixing of his line and hers changes things for this pack so maybe twins will always have a visual representation of night and day. I have seen the balance all around this pack since I arrived.
Take the mates I have seen around they are a perfect balance of dark and light without being so cute and dry. Brown hair with red hair. Black hair with red or medium brown hair. Even down to the skin if one is very pale the mate seems to be the opposite. It’s like the goddess blessed this pack to balance perfectly. Stepping into the bathroom again I see the distinct separation and sameness all over. Two shampoos one has some floral scent the other a soft fruit scent of the same brand. This set of twins from the outside looking in are mirrors of each other. It’s pretty amazing to see.
Finding a new toothbrush I start the water and squeeze a dot on the brush. Shoving it in my mouth signing in relief that my haw was no longer hurting. Looking up into the mirror my jaw drops. The tinker of the toothbrush bounces in the sink as I stare at my clear face, not a mark on my face. Yanking the shirt off every scar every bruise. Even that freckle I hated is gone. I can see my ribs and my body is sickly looking but it’s perfect. I can’t stop touching my chest. Her name is gone. That visual reminder of a horrible person is gone forever. I had been ready to have to see the scars, feeling the pain of her carving into me every time I see my chest. To see the scar on my left hip where wren dipped his claws in liquid silver then scratched across my hip “marking my property” he said. But no not anymore it’s gone. I still feel the pain of everything but for the first time in a year, I don’t hate what I see in the mirror.
I need to find a way to make the inside match the outside master Ambrose gifted me. I will not waste this second chance. Every mark on me from this day forward will be on my terms. No one will Brandon me again. I will train and learn to fight not only for myself but for this pack. I have been here just over twenty hours and I have seen nothing but love and loyalty in this pack. Not loyalty because he’s the alpha loyal because he’s a good fair man. Just the state of his daughter's room speaks to how accepting he is. His delta has a male mate. He named his daughter heir. His gamma named a she-wolf heir. This pack is not like other packs.
The little time I have spent with alpha Philip compared to the stories I’ve heard about the alpha of alphas Apollo and the who winters line. I don’t understand how the winters are the royals and this pack is thought of as small and weak. In the short time I’ve been here I already feel a loyalty to this pack to this alpha line. To every wolf here. I can feel my wolf wanting to accept this new alpha this new pack. Take his place as one of the heads of this pack.
I will ask the alpha for the guides. I will study them and help maintain not run maintain this pack. I feel a loyalty to the snowpack still and know I always will. It’s my beginning. But this is home. This is where my soul feels alive. This is where I will get to walk through the grass without shoes. My paws will dig into hard warm dirt not sink in cold wet snow. Even the air smells. Okay well, it smells like Enoy and her sister along with mint from my toothpaste. Shrugging I finish and rush out to meet the alpha. I can’t remember how to get to the gym.
Stopping when I see Michael standing in the kitchen drinking coffee with the alpha. Panic as I didn’t think I was late. “ it’s okay, kid, I brought coffee. Jaz, very kindly with her fist. Convinced me that I may or may not have been a tad on the aggressive and ass-holey-ish side of helpful. But in my defense, your wolf is not an ordinary wolf. You’re a Lune. Alpha born and with what happened your wolf was already giving up. So drastic measures. But, if Jaz asks I just apologized okay?” I can see the love and fear of his mate in his eyes. It’s always in the eyes.
Before I can answer the alpha asks “what's he get out of the deal?”
