77. Cade
Cade
Kaya was sound asleep. I lay there looking at her. She seemed so calm like this. When I looked at her, she always looked sad. I knew she was. In the last week, she had stayed super busy trying to distract herself. I would watch her at dinner, and although she would engage, her mind had been elsewhere. Nieva said that it would take a while before she was completely back to her old self. I have been talking a lot to Nieva lately.
I told her about the conclusion we have drawn about Howi. She had a lot to say on the subject. "Cade, I know of no one in our pack who had run away to the south. But that does not mean any other northern packs had no one desert. There are a lot of northern packs. All the males eighteen and older who are unmated go out every spring and summer to visit other northern packs to find a mate. So if he was from the north, he could have headed down south."
She had gone on. "Normally, he would have returned to his pack once he was mated to get his things, but if this was the case, he would have never returned to say his goodbyes and collect his things. I have not heard of this happening, but that does not mean it didn't happen. The fact he was strong is definitely an indication he was from the north. I know you think he is responsible for both the Luna's and the Alpha's death. You said the wounds were from a wolf. If he was from an alpha bloodline, he would be able to kill them easily. Then again, there are other ways he could have killed wolves."
"What do you mean?" I had asked her. "Well, I have never seen it happen, but I have been told that some northern packs have been able to communicate with wolves and take over their packs. It is just a rumor, but it is easy for us to kill the alpha of natural wolf packs. I have heard that some can communicate with wild wolves. None in my pack have tried it before, but I have heard of it before. It could be possible." I had been shocked. I was still thinking of it. Could it have been possible he had used wild wolves to kill the Alpha and Luna.
That seemed implausible as there would have to be many wolves to kill both an Alpha and Luna. Then again. If he had been in another place while the attacks happened, no one would have suspected him. I had yet to learn we could connect with wild wolves. I couldn't see the need because we ever would need to use that. I would need to learn how to go about doing it. I didn't know if Kaya knew about these rumors of werewolves talking to wild wolves.
I had been meaning to talk to her about it. But Kaya has been extremely busy. She was always out doing something until the evening, and then when we came to the room, she was stripping as soon as the door closed. I could never keep my hands to myself when she stood there naked before me. She had become accustomed to me being everywhere in her. Goddess, I loved to be inside her. She was so tight, so wet, always ready for me.
I reached out and ran my hand over her delicate face. The tattoo on her forehead was so unique and beautiful that it looked like a tiara. If we had a daughter, she would have the same tattoo on her forehead. Then, she would also have a back tattoo of our pack. I wondered what it would look like. Kaya had a Crescent Moon Pack tattoo on her back. Two long lines ran up her spine, and at the top was a Crescent moon. What would be ours? We didn't have a sign for our pack.
Would Kaya design it, or would she expect me to make one? I didn't know. What would be her third tattoo? Kaya had an intricate necklace tattoo for protection. Kimi had her arms done, and so did Saka and Len. What would our children get? Who would tattoo them? Kaya said they had a woman in her pack who did them. I wanted to know if we could just take them to a regular tattoo shop in the human world or if Kaya would wish to have someone tattoo in the pack. I had no idea.
I watched her breath. I wondered if we would get lucky and she would become pregnant before her heat. I knew it was possible; it had happened to my parents when they had me. I hoped that would be the case. I wanted to see her swell with my child. I wondered what kind of mother she would be. She had been very firm with the children in the pack, but I had seen her with the little ones, and she was super sweet with them. Teaching them to sign and playing with them making it fun for them.
I wondered what our kids would think of her. She was strong and fierce, but she could not hear and did not talk. Would that impact our kids? I had to wonder. She had younger siblings, and she had gotten along well with them. She would never sing to our children or talk baby with them. I didn't see how baby talk was necessary, though. But my mother always sang to me as a small boy. She would never do that. But I could take on that role.
She would be a good mom. Of that, I was confident. Kaya turned over so her back was to me. Moving the blanket off her and letting me have a good look at her back. I ran my fingers over the two lines. I would ask her about what our pack's tattoo looked like. I wanted her to get something on her skin to symbolize our pack, but I didn't know how. We heal once we reach 13 and get our wolf. There had to be a way. I would look into it.
