“What?” Are you being earnest?“Alexis inquires.”
“Regrettably, I have contacted Alpha Tim Johnson, and he is informed of the situation.” I instruct them to return home.
They remain silent and exit. I request that Paxton and Alexis accompany them and ensure they exit my packlands without incident. While standing there, I begin to contemplate the reactions of his Beta and Gamma upon receiving the news.
They exhibited no surprise and refrained from defending him. Were they aware? Did they resemble him? It is certain that it is advantageous he will not hold a position of authority over others. I can only speculate on the potential abuses of that power and the harm inflicted on innocent children as a result. I am feeling unwell about it, and at this moment, I simply wish to see Alyssa. Rationally, I understand she is well, yet I desire to see her and ascertain her well-being.
-Convene with me in thirty minutes at my residence- I telepathically communicate with Paxton and Alexis.
-Where are you all located?- I establish a mind link, Celine.
Suite Number 7
I rush to meet my daughters. I lift Alyssa and embrace her. I am aware that it is nearing nap time, so I gently rock her in my arms until she falls into a deep slumber. I then sit on the couch and hold her until I must return to meet Alexis and Paxton.
“Are you well, darling?”Celine enquires.
I am feeling improved now. Observing someone harbouring repugnant thoughts about her was distressing. Although I rationally understood she was unharmed since he did not physically assault her, I yearned to embrace her, ensuring she felt secure and unaffected by his abhorrent sentiments, I confess.
“You are a commendable individual and an exemplary father.” She is satisfactory. “She is well due to your influence, and so are other children,” she states while nestling beside us on the couch. I anticipated that Celine might experience fear or revulsion towards me due to the gruesome scene in the office; however, she appears entirely unfazed by it. I am relieved, as I wish for her to remain unafraid of me and for our relationship to remain unchanged.
I spent the past few hours with Paxton and Alexis reviewing security measures, potential counterattacks, and deliberating on the appropriate time to notify the pack. An emergency meeting has been convened for tomorrow morning. Irrespective of the outcome, I do not wish for my pack to learn from another source about the events that transpired.
Upon my return to the packhouse, specifically to the suite we are occupying, I find Celine and Alyssa seated in bed, consuming pizza and viewing a children’s film. I join them, and once we have finished eating, we snuggle in bed until Alyssa drifts off to sleep.
Celine relocates her to the other bedroom within the suite, and subsequently, we recline in bed while I recount to Celine all the events transpiring. Upon learning of a potential war, she appears quite apprehensive.
“Do you feel remorse?”She scowls.
“Negative!”“I concede, while consuming the p. “Not in the slightest.” The world is improved by his absence. I am reluctant to contemplate the potential damage he could inflict or the harm he may have already caused to other children. His pack may assault me, yet they ought to express gratitude towards me,” I elucidate.
She assents with a nod. “Certainly.” “Regardless of others’ opinions, I consider you a true hero, and I take pride in you,” she asserts with conviction. My partner can be exceptionally tender, affectionate, and gentle, yet she possesses the strength and determination to assert herself effectively when necessary.
“You are flawless,” I state with a smile. She raises an eyebrow.
“That was exceedingly arbitrary.”She emits a chuckle.
“It was not arbitrary; I was contemplating your resilience and strength in the aspects I appreciate, as well as your gentleness and tenderness in the ways I favor.” I consider you to be flawless.
She straddles me, stating, “I appreciate your softness and tenderness with Alyssa and me,” as she leans down to kiss me. “And I admire your strength and protectiveness,” she continues, kissing me once more. “I appreciate that you possess the firmness I desire,” she remarks with a playful smile, as she begins to press against me.
“You are quite mischievous,” I remark with a chuckle.
You have jeopardised considerable resources to safeguard our child. Did you anticipate that I would refrain from seizing the opportunity to confront you?”
I genuinely did not. Many women do not perceive murder as alluring.
You were safeguarding our child, as well as numerous other children. Recognising your profound affection for her and your willingness to go to great lengths to safeguard her. Our household. It only intensifies my affection for you, if that is indeed feasible. It certainly compels me to mount you and engage in intimate activity.
*Telephone ringing*
I lament the disruption. Expletive!
“I must retrieve it to avoid disturbing Alyssa,” she states as she rises to respond. She examines the caller ID.
Celine: Greetings Norah, the timing is not opportune. May I contact you tomorrow?
[pause]
Celine: What is it?
[pause]
Celine activates the speakerphone.
Celine: Very well, Norah and Gavin, we are both present; what is the matter?
Gavin: I received a call from Alpha Tim Johnson, stating that Cohen murdered his son today.
Cohen: [I exhale forcefully] I did.
Gavin: What transpired?
Cohen: We convened, and he observed Alyssa in her swimsuit, his eyes darkened with desire.
Gavin: Alyssa or Celine? He likely believes I erred.
Cohen: Alyssa!
Gavin: Are you certain it was intended for Alyssa rather than Celine?
