Chapter 60 Return

Reader's POV
Bright Moon Pack:
Kate had been feeling incredibly irritable and restless since she woke up early in the morning.
At first, she thought it was because it was too hot today.
She had always had this problem, when it was too hot to get up will be grumpy. So Carson didn't take it personally.
He kissed her forehead gently, as he always did: "Do you want some water?"
"No." Kate replied stiffly, "You can go out now."
Just kidding, how could Carson go out at this time.
They had grown up together, and Carson knew her as well as he knew his left hand and his right. He had every reason to believe that if he obeyed and went out now, what would be waiting for him next would be a whole day of cold violence from Kate.
Yes. She would lock herself in her room and no one would get in, except her sister.
"It's not a very hot day." Carson tried to make her feel better, "If you're feeling hot, how about I have someone make ice cream and bring it over right now? You can eat it in bed, just like you did when you were a kid."
He said as he got out of bed and went to pull back the curtains.
Kate let out a groan of pain - she didn't want to see the sun. Really. But ......
But there was no sunlight at all outside the window.
Carson stood at the window and smiled at her, "Look, I told you it wasn't hot today."
It wasn't hot. A heavy rain the day before had taken away all the end-of-summer temperatures, and then a light rain that fell like a plush silk thread and continued into today.
It made the house a little dimmer.
Kate had to get out of bed, brush her hair, which was a bit knotted, and get ready to get dressed for breakfast.
But she was surprised to see her husband, walking happily around the house in his big shorts, slowly.
She had to stop and ask, "Don't you have anything to do today?"
"What's up?" Carson asked her rhetorically, then flashed a smile again, "No, there's nothing going on today. I mean, I'm going to give myself the day off. What do you think?"
How's that?
"Not great." Kate hit him with little spirit, "There are still many things waiting for you in the wolf pack. Plus, I have to go see if there's been any new news on Ava lately. I'm really worried about her. Also, didn't you say that Barton had a new Blue Moon Pack move? How's it going over there?"
Carson actually wanted to take a hot French kiss with his beloved Luna and do a little romance in this quiet and harmonious atmosphere in the morning. But now, he had to answer her with a bitter face, one question at a time:
"I've been dealing with the wolves every day. There's nothing that needs to go sit in the office today. Ava's news is still five days old, and she said she'll be back soon. blue Moon Pack recently hosted the Pabu Pack, and there's no news yet."
"The Pabu Wolf Pack?"
Kate stopped moving her hands to look at him, "The Pabu Wolf Pack that's controlled by a female Alpha?"
"Not a female Alpha." Carson walked over and helped her brush her long knotted hair out of the way, casually tidying it behind her ears, pulling her out of the bedroom to sit at the dining room table, "It's the omega-blooded Pabu princess who controls the Pabu wolf pack, and maybe the next step is to find the right werewolf to mate with."
Kate had little interest in other wolf pack mateships, it was the former that interested her: "So Ava may have met this Paboo princess in the Blue Moon Pack?"
"Probably." Carson didn't know, tapping the table and asking her, "What would you like to have? Coffee? Iced milk? Orange juice?"
"Omelette and orange juice." His lovely woman flashed a smile, but frowned as if something was bothering her.
He rang the notification bell on the table to inform his cook, "One omelette and asparagus, orange juice on the rocks."
Kate was still frowning and looking out the window and didn't seem to notice what he had done.
So he turned back around and continued, "Hurry up and make the omelette one-sided."
His thoughtful preparation was indeed warmly received, and the orange juice was drained, as was the asparagus.
But the fried egg ended up in his own stomach.
Yes, he should have expected that in her irritable mood would loathe fried food.
This was something Kate had never been very much like him in her habits. If he was the one who was irritable, he would have preferred fried food and carbonated drinks.
After eating breakfast, they continued to sit at the table and dwell.
This scene is not common, at least not for a wolf pack of Alpha and Luna.
But this was indeed the couple's daily state after Ava left.
Every few days, they would sit in various places, maybe holding hands, maybe putting their arms around each other's shoulders, and then each thinking about what was on their minds.
Of course it often ends up with a frown on their faces and leaves together.
But today Carson didn't want that.
On a rare good morning, he didn't want to sit around worrying about this and that - instead of doing that he'd go to the office and work on his own.
"Want to go for a walk?"
He took his wife's hand gently and invited, "You know it's been a long time since we've taken a walk together."
"I know." Kate gave an apologetic look as she had done countless times over the past few days: "But you know, dear, I'm really not in the mood."
"I know."
Carson looked at her. The two faced each other in silence for a moment. Kate compromised:
"All right then. Remember to bring your umbrella."
"I don't want one."
Carson resisted the idea of an umbrella in this weather, "I'll lose it, you don't know that."
"But I don't like the feeling of getting my neck wet from the rain either." Kate whined in a small voice, holding hands with him as they walked out the door together, "This rain can slowly wet everything, running down your neck all the way into your collar, and then your heart goes cold and becomes very depressed."
They walked out of the building as the rain slowly fell, blurring the guard towers in the distance.
She continued, "The feeling is like a never-ending mold that turns everything around you into unwashable gray and black."
Carson's whole body hardened at her wonderful and wonderful analogy and threw up his hands in acknowledgement of his failure and guilt:
"I'm going to get the umbrella."
He said sincerely, "A world without an umbrella is simply more painful than suicide."
Kate achieved her goal and winked slyly with a smile:
"Go ahead. I'll meet you at the guardhouse."
The view from the guard tower was wide. Even at a time like this, when it was raining constantly and the whole world was fogged over, she could see a long way beyond the gate and everything from the railing.
This made Kate feel slightly more comfortable inside. Since the morning after waking up has not subsided the restlessness and anxiety at this time as if there is an outlet, completely opened by the light breeze and rain to eliminate clean.
Kate thought of how much she loved to stay here when she was a child, with her sister.
They would spend long hours looking out, the forest, the sky, and the patrols walking around.
Occasionally Ava would get into a little mischief.
By the way, at that time she was not yet the cold and beautiful now, so that people will hear the violent doctor who will involuntarily shiver.
She was still the little girl who loved green skirts and lace-trimmed shirts, who loved to hold her hand and run around with her, catching little rocks and bugs and throwing them into Carson's hat and pockets. They also liked to throw flowers and paper airplanes at the patrol downstairs while playing on the guard tower.
They would pretend to be those noble women in the medieval attic saluting the human knights of their country and then throwing flowers that showed their love and respect.
Everyone was also very cooperative with them. If someone was really thrown, they would look up and gesture with a twisted pose.
Kate couldn't help but laugh at the thought.
"Supposedly they would rendezvous under the walls with their hats and badges and stuff." Ava whispered to her, clutching her book, "I know the badge stands for honor, but what's a hat?"
Neither of them knew.
So the two little girls studied head to head for a while, and finally fell asleep holding each other on the guard tower.
Later Ava was also punished for oversleeping and not doing her training session on time, and was punished by standing in the patrol position on the guard post, and then she stood up there and gave her a flying kiss.
She couldn't help but look down again, hoping to see the little girl from her childhood patrolling in her training uniform in all seriousness.
But there was nothing there.
Instead, there was a bird that got its wings wet and had to land on a patrolman's hat to shake its feathers.
Kate stared at the bird's feet, but there was no letterbox on there. She sighed in disappointment, and her eyes followed it as it finished shaking its feathers and flew off toward the woods over there.
Soon, Kate's gaze stopped.
Her eyes were widening; her pupils were narrowing.
She grabbed the railing with both hands and almost flung herself down.
"Who's that?" She asked, shivering. But the voice was too low and no one heard.
"Who's that?!"
So she amplified her voice again.
"Who?!" Carson took the umbrella, thinking she was in some kind of danger or had found something, and quickly ran towards the guard tower. But halfway through the run, he saw that his Luna had leapt past him quickly.
He hurriedly followed, and when he ran to the gate, she probably had some unstable weight and fell beside him.
Carson's anxious heart was about to burst, grabbed her shoulders and asked her what had happened. But he saw her lips trembling and her face full of tears pointing in one direction.
He jerked his head to look over, a figure slowly moved out of the woods over there, brown and red, blood underneath her like a red prickly rose blossom after red prickly rose blossom.
His stomach gave a violent jerk.
Kate and the patrollers had darted past, one after the other. Soon the healers from the wolf pack came running out as well, carrying a stretcher.
"Ava? Ava!"
He watched as tear after tear from Kate's eyes fell onto the other man's face, washing out one brown mark after another.
