Brit has proposed a long-distance arrangement and enquired whether I could relocate here; however, I cannot relinquish my gamma position. It constitutes my identity. I would merely be a warrior in this context. I must devise a method to ensure this functions effectively. I prefer not to visit solely on weekends. That would constitute a genuine nightmare. What is the method for raising a family in that manner? We must resolve this matter prior to my evaluation of her.
Moon Goddess, kindly assist us in resolving this matter. I desire her, I require her, and I cannot envision life without her. I observe her delicate skin while she slumbers, and I am immediately struck by anguish at the thought of our separation. Perhaps relinquishing my pack is necessary.
“Mmm… You are gazing,” I hear my companion remark softly, and I smile.
“Apologies.”
“Do not be,” she smiles. I greatly admire that smile. She nestles against me, and I encircle her with my arm. Since she will not accompany me, I must depart tonight to return to the packhouse for work tomorrow. I must return until I ascertain our course of action.
“What occupies your thoughts?”“She inquires.”
“I reveal our intended course of action.”
“We have the opportunity to resolve it.” I apologise for the inconvenience, but she is my guardian, and she is my sole family member. I cannot abandon her, particularly given her significant reliance on me. I enquired about relocating yesterday, and she responded that she would never do so. She feels a strong connection to my mother here due to her frequent visits to the grave, and I understand it would devastate her to be separated from that. I am uncertain about the appropriate course of action. “I despise the notion of being separated from you,” she confesses. I comprehend her allegiance to her grandmother, and a significant portion of me genuinely admires that; however, another part of me is self-serving.
“We will resolve it.” “Even if it’s merely weekends for the time being,” I compel a smile, and she reciprocates. This is exceedingly challenging, yet I will accept any fragment of her that I can obtain at this juncture.
Celine’s Perspective
It is Sunday, and all of my friends have returned home now. Brandon remains at Bloodfang Moon, yet I have not observed him today. He is engaging in leisure activities with his companion. Cohen is not scheduled to work on Sundays; however, due to the time he took off this week, he must work in the morning to catch up slightly. He is telecommuting, which brings me joy. It is simply more comforting to have him nearby.
Given the sweltering morning, Alyssa and I will go for a swim and relax in our backyard. Cohen is expected to complete his work within the next hour or two, after which he can join us. I perceive Cohen establishing a mental connection.
Celine, the prospective Alpha of the Red Moon pack, seeks to confer with me. Should I meet with him at my office in the packhouse, or is it acceptable for him to come to my office here? I am amenable to meeting him at the packhouse if you feel uneasy. –
-I appreciate your proximity. I have no objection to you holding meetings here. Your inquiry demonstrates considerable thoughtfulness.
He has never made me feel that this is solely his residence, not once. He is exceedingly kind. I profoundly miss him. I desire his return to our presence. It is 10:30, thus he should conclude in one to two hours, potentially longer if he is engaged in meetings.
—
At 11:45 am, Alyssa feels hungry, prompting us to dry off. I don a summer dress, and we proceed indoors to prepare lunch. I can hear Cohen speaking, indicating that he remains in his meeting.
“Father?”Alyssa states.
“Not at this moment, dear, Father is occupied.” I assure you that you will see him shortly. “Would you like a turkey sandwich, Alyssa?”“I inquire.”
“Peas!”I begin to prepare sandwiches and slice some watermelon.
Watermelon on a sweltering day is unparalleled. I prepare Cohen’s lunch for him to consume later. I am experiencing sudden and intense feelings of rage. What is occurring? Am I experiencing Cohen’s emotions? Subsequently, I perceive Cohen establishing a mental connection with me.
-CELINE! Remove Alyssa from the residence immediately.
Cohen is enraged. Extremely angry. I observe that Alyssa is no longer in the kitchen. She must have clandestinely entered Cohen’s office. I hurried to his office due to his intense anger. Is he upset that she disrupted his meeting? That is uncharacteristic of him. What on earth? Upon my arrival, Cohen appears irate, yet he remains silent. He presents Alyssa to me and establishes a mind link.
-Accelerate swiftly –
