Once Rejected, Thrice Accepted
Chapter 91

We gave Charles and Ryder a cabin near us while the rest of his pack that had joined him were set up in the pack house on the visitors floor. It seemed he came with a problem and an acceptance of our invite to train some of his pack for any backlash or upcoming battles. He seemed to be such a great Alpha even my Alphas respected him. Later today we had to see about his sons wolf learning to do the same.

It was about two am when they made it here so we planned on getting together around three to plan everything out. I needed the rest which my body was now thanking me for as I lay cuddled up with Duncan and the twins were downstairs making some great smelling food. Who knew the guys could cook something other than steak and ramen noodles? Not me.

"You ready to head down and eat or you up for being my first meal of the day?" Duncan whispered before taking my earlobe into his mouth and nibbling.

My stomach rumbled giving me my answer. "Sorry food trumps o*****s right now but later on I would enjoy taking you for a dirty shower."

He chuckled. "Deal."

Getting up was harder than I thought it was going to be. Duncan easily rolled out of bed and threw on his sweats. I tried doing the same but my body was not having it. I felt a bit like an uncoordinated baby deer with my limbs going all directions but the one I wanted them to. Duncan laughed a bit at first but my first sob brought him to his senses.

"Baby, what's wrong?" He pulled me up and off the bed to stand in front of him. "Don't cry. I'm sorry I laughed. I won't do it again."

I let out another sob bowing my head onto his chest. "It's not you. It's just... everything. Everything is just so much. All of my emotions along with Moonlight's and now my new wolf it's just making everything so jumbled."

"Is there anything I can do to help?" Duncan began rubbing my back and giving me kisses all over the top of my head.

"No. It's just something I have to get used to. It's also brand-new so just be patient with me."

"You got it. Now let's eat some breakfast and listen to the twins argue."

By the time we made it to the bottom of the stairs there was a small knock at the door. I knew exactly who it was and so did my wolf, Moonlight, because she started to prance around in my head. My spirit wolf was still sleeping but her anxious feelings were definitely well-known.

I opened the door and saw Alpha Charles and his son Ryder standing there with the biggest smiles on their faces with two small bouquets of wildflowers. "I'm guessing were having two more guests for breakfast. The twins cooked so it's going to be very good because breakfast is one of their specialties."

They handed me the flowers and came in with Ryder rushing off to the kitchen. His dad just rolled his eyes and said boys will be boys which I totally agreed with. He did hold me back however because he wanted to speak alone.

"His wolf is too early. Earlier than anything I've ever heard of." He said worriedly. "His wolf acts just like a toddler mixed in with the rage of a teenager and he won't listen to me. He won't listen to anyone in our pack. I didn't want anyone to know about this but the only times he has shifted has been in front of others when he's upset. It's been about three times now and it was so hard to get them to shift back into my human son. I don't know what to do."

I gave him a quick hug before stepping back and looking at him with my eyebrows wrinkled and my eyes squinted as I thought about his problem. "We will get this figured out. You both are to stay here as long as this takes as long as it takes to train the warriors you brought with you. Some of them looked really skinny and a few of them looked really young so I'm not sure how that's going to go. And I thought we had discussed you bringing your Luna with you?"

He gave a sad laugh. "I'm going to be honest. She did not want to come. She is my chosen mate after my fated mate passed during child birth with Ryder. Its more of a professional relationship for the good of the pack. It works great for the pack so she still there and she's getting updates on the new training techniques and so she can implement them while we're here."

I really did pity him for not only what happened at my old pack but also having a chosen Luna who only did it for the pack's benefit. I knew it was none of my business so I didn't press. Maybe one day I would meet her and maybe one day we could be friends. We would just have to wait and replace out which was fine with me because I had enough on my plate.

"Dad you better come and eat or is going to be all gone. They only saved plates for Gemma. She apparently eats a lot." Ryder yelled from the dining room.

"Hey! Are you talking about me boy? You're going to get it when I get in there." I laughed as I rushed in giving him a fake stern glance. He couldn't help but giggle.

"He's only telling the truth. There's nothing wrong with a little meat on a lady." Lucas was sold as he eyed me from head to toe stopping at my breasts for an extra second. What a perv.

"Shut up and eat. After this were going to go on a little field trip with Ryder. I'm going to meet your wolf and he's going to meet mine." I sat down in my seat next to him. "Oh boy." Ryder whined. I just smiled and started eating.
