What are you so nervous about? Grayson mutters as we walk over to the main pack house, my legs barely able to drag me to our destination.
We need this training! What use is our gift if we can't use it? I know he's right but that doesn't stop the fear somersaulting in my belly.
My father always said I was weak.
What if my power truly is weak and worthless? Then what? Then we learn to fight like any other f****"g mutt! Grayson growls in annoyance.
Talia and Agnes walk silently behind me, both equally nervous for our first day in our new assignments.
Kota appears to be the only one excited to visit the River Moon wolves.
To keep herself calm, Agnes holds her butterfly in her hand, the beautiful creature crawling along her finger and fluttering its wings.
She had kept it in her room since we arrived in River Moon and it seemed to give her comfort.
I would have to thank Salvador again for Talia fidgets with the sack lunch that I prepared for her this morning, wrinkling the paper bag with her fingers.
To my surprise, she took the lunch willingly and my heart only soared higher when I noticed she was still wearing the gold bracelet I gave her.
I just hope she will still be okay with me when she reads my note today.
Quit worrying.
We were smooth, Grayson grins We finally approach the pack house, Rosalie already waiting for us with her young pup cradled in her arms.
"Come with me Agnes," She smiles warmly at her before turning to Talia and I.
"Aurora is in the entertainment room waiting for you."
Talia and I exchange nervous glances and make our way to the entertainment room where we find Aurora sitting on the floor with her eyes closed, Oliver combing through her hair with tenderness, as if her hair were made of silk.
Evan sits on the couch, watching the two with friendly disgust while Rio sits lazily at his feet.
Oliver leans in close to his mate and kisses her temples, murmuring soothing words in her ears.
The Queen looks completely relaxed in his lap as he begins to gently braid her hair into one long french braid, her breaths slow and steady.
It almost feels wrong to watch such an intimate moment between two loving mates and I feel a pain in my heart.
Would Talia ever trust me enough to let me care for her as the Rio jumps up to greet Kota and the two roll around the floor playfully.
"Please sit," Aurora says, her eyes fluttering open as Oliver ties up the braid.
Kota stops his play for a moment and we bow our heads in reverence to the timid Queen.
"My sister will be here soon for you, Talia.You can wait here while I take Zane to the training grounds.Kota can stay at the daycare or here with Rosalie and Agnes.It's up to you and what you feel most comfortable with."
"Here," Talia replies almost immediately.
"H-here, please." The Queen smiles brilliantly at her as she rises to her feet with Oliver's help.
"Then it shall be so." Oliver grabs his coat and car keys from the coffee table and prepares to take off.
"Be safe," Oliver murmurs as he kisses his Queen on the cheek before he glares at me.
"If you hurt her, I will kill you.Understand?" he threatens, his voice a low growl.
I nod obediently, swallowing the lump in my throat.
Aurora rolls her eyes at her mate and pacifies him with a kiss.
"No you will not," she chuckles.
"You cannot heal on your own," he argues.
"If he hurts you during training-"
"Then I will heal her," a woman's voice calls out from behind us.
"So go huff and puff somewhere else and let my sister train in. We all turn around to the source of the voice and find a small woman identical to Queen Aurora standing by the door.
The only difference between the two appears to be their eyes, with this woman's eyes being silvery grey while Aurora's are a golden honey color.
Aurora wastes no time running towards the woman, embracing her in a tight hug.
"You literally see each other every f*****g day,"
Evan exasperates, Oliver rolling his eyes at the gamma wolf.
The small woman lifts her middle finger up at Evan, Aurora giggling hysterically.
