77. Packs of Wolves

This chap is extremely unedited so there are lots of mistakes and no prose. I have to fix that when i go back through and make it poetic! Enjoy this child's wording for now hehe.

**i need a song!**

Nova

I nervously wrung my hands as I watched the sun set on the horozon through my bedroom window.

Zaryn linked me, told me he was on the way to get me.

The convoys will be here any moment now.. both Dark Moon and Blue Moon's unmated males and females.. plus warriors from each pack. Thank goddess we had lodges to put them all in.. there will be hundreds here..

Enough to start a war..

I couldn't get rid of this gut feeling i had that tomorrow would be worse than any of us thought.. i knew to trust my gut. It was always right.

These wolves.. all here to rejoice.. to find their mate and have a good time.. they didnt know what lie in wait. Neither conrad nor maxim told their wolves.. only the warriors. However, it will look suspicious to their packs if their warriors are coming too... hopefully none of them notice. Both Alphas planned on telling their packs in the morning.. before the mate picnic..

So they will at least get tonight to enjoy themselves.

Zaryn and I wont be able to.

The front door creaked open downstairs alerting me to Zaryn's arrival. Anxiety had returned but at least this time i have my mate to comfort me.. touching him will ease that sickening feeling. It will help me. Ease my suffering and worry.

Slipping on my heels, i headed down the stairs.. popping through to see Zaryn and my mom talking in hushed whispers by the sink while dad sat in the den on the sofa, giving Zaryn the stink eye before he glanced at me and winked.. a smirk forming on his lips.

I shook my head, laughing to myself. Dad likes Zaryn now.. but he wont let the poor guy know it. He will give him hell for all the hell ive beem through.

Thats my dad.

Zaryn peered up at me doing a double take.. his mouth falling open in surprise,  and thats the very moment i really noticed him.

Dark jeans.. fitting snugly against his ass. Shiny black dress shoes and a black button up, rolled up, exposing his muscular forearms. The tail end of his tattoos coiled down both forearms.. i found myself licking my lips.. wanting a taste of his skin.

He cleared his throat and my eyes snapped up to his. Bright blue eyes that i love so much, widened.. gazing at me intently as he roved over my form.. memorizing every detail. I noticed he was freshly shaven. His hair had even been touched up just how i like it.. long on top, short on the sides.

Goddess, he is so delicious.. i could let him-

"You look.. beautiful Nova." His deep voice cut my thoughts short and i noticed then that he was flushed.. he had registered my thoughts.

I smiled, walking up to him.. utterly entranced by his looks.. and his smell... all toned muscle wrapped in a pretty package with a handsome face. His gaze never strayed from me as a grin tilted the corners of his mouth.

"Thank you." My painted red lips pulled into a grin as well..

I dont know why I suddenly felt shy. Its happened more and more.

I wanted to impress him, so when he left earlier, i changed into a red dress with capped sleeves that hugged my curves, stopping at mid thigh.  With black wedges and a black cropped 3/4 length sleeved cardigan.  i thought it spiced it up a little.
