Chapter 127:
Alley POV:
It's been a very busy year. After we had the twins everything else happened at once, the other women had their babies a few days after I did. We have spent so much time together while our mates moved forward with the castle for the counsel and we have decided that we were all going to move in it and keep our Betas and Gammas at the pack houses, we wanted all of our kids to be close with each other because something deep within me told me that when it is time they will resume to counsel. Ambrosia and Jackson built a new castle for themselves a little closer while leaving the previous one to those who needed a home. Pythia and Tye have done the same although their home isn't as large but still, they built something of their own to have. We decided that it was best that we stay closer together, we were suppose to have the ceremony for us but with all of us having the babies Athea decided to hold off and let us finish what we needed to, tomorrow is the celebration and like always our mothers are busy decoration the large castle that will hold all of the packs , maybe with them all coming Alex and Brandon will finally meet their mates. They have seemed a little bummed out but they have been the best uncles in the world to William Ashlee and Danny.
I was standing in our large walk-in closet trying to figure out the best outfit for tomorrow, we needed to look a certain way and decided to wear white as a symbol of purity, our promise to everyone that we will be pure in all we do. We had a lot to review and a lot to change and even though change can be scary, it is necessary if we all want to continue to live a peaceful life. Pythia has to take on the elders and we have offered to help her but she is set that this is something she has to do. From what she has told us they are very set in their ways and are angry that she has an alpha as a mate. She knows that we will defend her in every aspect and I have to put aside the fact that she is my new sister and leave my emotions out of it should she ever call on us to aid her. Tye has been overly protective of her and their son. My sweet nephew, Apollo, is already a strong stubborn boy. As I looked through the closet I came across a pair of matching white jeans I had found the other day at the store, just as we decided on white we decided to match our mates. We didn't want to be the typical women who wore dresses all the time. There might be peace now but we can't tell the future and what good would a dress do in a fight?
I picked out button down shirts for Stephen and I to wear because it looked classy and fitting in my opinion and it looked really good with our skin tones. I decided on heels while I got Stephen a pair of white converses. I wasn't feeling nervous yet but I'm sure I will be when time gets closer. I can only pray that we all do the best we can, watching over all packs will be time consuming but we will make a schedule so we can still make time for our little ones. The twins certainly keep us busy and truthfully I miss them, we set up a daycare closer to us and all of our kids to go to. It is what they need to grow and learn properly but I cry every time I leave them. I looked at the time to see it was nearly three and almost time to go and pick my little loves up. "Princess, are you ready? It's time we go get William and Ashlee." Stephen said as he opened the door. "I am ready, I was just thinking about them." I said walking out of the closet. "Well they will be home soon enough and you know Danny will want the first thirty minutes with them so we better soak up what we can." Stephen said laughing. Oh Danny, he demanded he get the first thirty minutes with the twins everyday when he gets home from school. He says it is his bonding time with them and who are we to refuse him?
I absolutely love that he is so inclined on bonding with them. Ember is like their personal guard at home, she doesn't let anyone near them unless it's the other kids. I closed the closet door and walked across our large room. "How are all the setups going?" I asked, knowing all too well my mother has put him and the other to work. "I think your mom is trying to kill us, but it is going well. It is a much larger place and I think she is enjoying it way too much." Stephen replied, running his hand through his hair. "Well you know how she gets and this is a very big occasion." I said laughing. "She chose to do things in a soft pink and baby blue, I didn't think I would like it too much but honestly it goes perfectly. It's not in your face but not too soft either if that makes sense." Stephen said. I full on belly laughed. "What is so funny?" Stephen said, pouting. "I think you've been around my mother too much, talking about colors and all. It's cute though." I said trying to get my laughing fit under control. As we walked down the lengthy stairs I felt the overwhelming feeling to throw up. I darted for the closest bathroom and hunched over the toilet. "Alley! Alley hey what's wrong?" Stephen asked, running up behind me. "You're pregnant." Rose whispered. Oh no fucking way. "You can't be serious Rose." I snapped. "Believe it or not shit head but you are pregnant." Rose snapped back.
