Once Rejected, Thrice Accepted
Chapter 81

"So Jackson called earlier and he is headed to meet the witch." Duncan stated as we sat down in the pack house dining hall for dinner. "He apologized it took a few days to get back to us and for not being able to give us details any farther than he got a hold of her and is going to be meeting with her. He thinks we shouldn't trust talking about anything important because listening ears are everywhere." "He isn't wrong." Leo nodded. "I do know something we can talk about just about anywhere."

"And what is that?" Duncan grabbed a fry from my plate with a cheesy grin on his face. "How you need a shower after training as hard as you did? You are stinking up the room."

"Your one to talk, bro. It's called deodorant." Leo chuckled before going back to his serious face. "We still have to figure out what to do with Matilda. She is just sitting in that cell wasting space."

"I told you to kill her especially now that we know she is mated to an Alpha of a pack who wants this one dead." I gave them my 'I told you so' look. "We need to ask Jackson if he wants to speak to her one last time and let him know about her actual mate." "I just don't get how she could mate your dad with her having a mate already?" Leo's eyes squinted hard as he concentrated on his own question.

"A witch, duh." Britt answered as she and Cherry joined us at the table. "Guess what happened to me today, sis?"

Leo pushed her lightly and rolled his eyes. "Younger sisters can't live with them."

"Zip it, butt munch." She bounced a piece of broccoli off his forehead.

"Ok, now kids. Stop it." I gave them my most stern look. "What happened?"

She giggled and clapped her hands. "I went and saw Draco and Allys baby. He is the freaking cutest which was the best thing of the day before they called me Aunt Brittany! They really want me to be his aunt even though we aren't related by blood." "That's awesome! Blood or not you are amazing and they are lucky to have you around."

'I claim being the best wolfy aunt to Gannon's wolf Moonlight smiled smugly. 'You deal with poopy diapers, and I will train him to hunt with the best of us!

"Thanks. Sundance can't wait to get her wrestle on with his wolf. She says he is going to be strong." She jacked a fry from my plate like it was nothing. I could feel Leo and Duncan holding back their laughter. Lucas was too busy texting with a pack member to even know what was going on.

"Draco's wolf is amazing. We need to go on a run with him." I smiled thinking back on our last run and how close he got to beating me in a race. "We should do a run tonight while we check the perimeter."

"I am down." Lindy whispered behind me as she snuck up to us scaring the crap out of me. "Look who made it out of the hospital and is ready to join the pack."

"Hey me too!" Her little sister pushed past her taking a seat by Britt. "I hope it hurts the pack especially Dad and Mom. I want them to cry."

"Damn. Somebody wants some revenge." Lucas finally joined our conversation. "How bout we start your training with some of the other younger wolves to help sate that for now?"

He smiled over at her. My heart melted. He was going to make a great dad one day. It was freaking hot. I could feel my body getting turned on. I crossed my legs and prayed no one would smell how wet I was becoming. My body was a freakin traitor. 'Gemma, we have an issue that will become a demand in a day or two. Moonlight huffed like she was out of breath.

'And what's that?'

'Our next heat."

Shit. I was ready to run for the safety of my room with all the comfortable blankets and hidden snacks but I knew I needed to stay out here with my friends and family. In just a few days we would be locked away getting fucked all day and night until we wouldn't be able to walk. "You ok, sis?" Britt asked worriedly. Everyone stopped talking and stared at me.

I gave a small smile. "So.... This is like the worst time with the witch coming with Jackson, dealing with ending Matilda, and getting the pack ready for an attack that doesn't have a time or date known to us yet but... My heat will be starting in a day or two." "Yummy." Lucas licked his lips. "We can start now if you would like."

"Gross. That's my sister!" Britt threw a pickle at Lucas but he actually caught it in his mouth and ate it. "Dang you."

"Nice try, loser." He gave her a small wink before facing me again. "You ok with it?"

"Nope but we will just deal. The doctors have enough herbs to make me more of those pills?"

"Pills? For your heat?" Lindy asked mid bite of her hamburger.

I shrugged not ready to discuss it with anyone else right now. I was getting a lot of hate from not being knocked up with one of the Alphas babies from my first heat. It was a primal thing so I got why they were upset and it would take a bit for them to understand why I chose not to have a baby yet. I couldn't have them used against me or be hurt because of me. Once all this was over I would be ready.

She stared at me for a minute before her eyes opened wide with understanding. She gave me a nod and small smile letting me know she understood. Damn I missed our bestie bond.

"Ok no more serious talk or sex talk." Cherry winked at us. "I think we should go for a run tonight. Let's make it a pack run and then we can break off to have some fun. It will be good for them to see the new members bonding with us all." "Agreed. I will send out a mind link while Leo and Lucas get the two newest members brought into our pack."

"Make sure you stretch. I am gonna give you a run for your money." Lindy started in on her teasing.

"No way. I am gonna beat her. I got so close before." Britt objected.

"You are both full of shit but I won't stop you from trying." They both glared at me but they knew it was true.
