my

In the morning, I wake up early. Probably because I fell asleep fast since I was relaxed from my bath. Inmy dreams, I mostly watched Kiara sleep so it was mostly peaceful, if sad. The poor thing wasshivering all night. Right up until the moment that something startled her awake, annoyingly, herjumping and waking up was enough to startle ME awake. For once, Bellamy is still asleep. His sleepmust have been a little restless though because he’s moved off the pillows and seems to be using mystomach as a pillow instead. His arms are wrapped around waist and he’s on a slight diagonal on thebed, his feet so close to the edge they’re nearly hanging off. The blankets are all tangled underneathhim, he isn’t covered at all. Well, I’m stuck. Also I didn’t notice how heavy his head was when I wassleeping but now I feel a little crushed. Still, there is no way on this planet that I am moving before he isready. I’ve seen the shadows under his eyes, he has been sleeping just as badly as I have, which issaying something because sleeping with Bellamy beside me is still the equivalent of a knock out drug.Bellamy doesn’t seem like he’s going to wake anytime soon, so I settle back into the pillows to wait. Iwonder if I can reach my phone? I struggle towards the side table for a moment, but no such luck. Myphone is just a little out of my reach. Oh well. I relax and lay back. I guess I’ll keep working on mymeditating. I close my eyes and focus on Kiara. I actively relax every single one of my muscles until allI can really feel is the warmth of Bellamy lying across my stomach. I slow my breathing and bringimages of Kiara to my mind. Once again, I feel close. Like I can almost reach her. But something ismissing, some detail that I have wrong or something. That’s the problem. Since I don’t know what I’mmissing, I don’t know what it is I need to change, I don’t even know where to start! I’m not sure howlong I spend meditating and focusing, but when Bellamy starts to stir, I open my eyes again. I’msurprised to replace that my hand has found its way into his hair and I have apparently been runningfingers through it for who knows how long. Bellamy’s eyes crack open a little but they soon fall closed

again and he snuggles back in. Is he purring? That’s it, I’m officially convinced. Bellamy does actuallypurr sometimes. It’s adorable.

“Mmmh, do you think we could just stay like this all day?” Bellamy mumbles and I laugh. I can feel hishead being jostled as I laugh.

“I probably could stay in bed all day, but I suspect that someone would come looking for you sooner orlater. Probably sooner.” I point out. Bellamy sighs.

“Of course they would. Ugh, fine.” With a groan, Bellamy forces himself to sit up. I giggle as hecomplains.

“I thought I was the one who hated mornings.” I comment and Bellamy just shrugs and climbs out ofbed. He pauses and stretches and I replace myself staring.

“Ryann?” He asks.

“Huh? What?” Did I miss something? Bellamy raises an eyebrow.

“I asked if you wanted to use the bathroom first?” he seems amused. I wave him off,

“No, you go ahead. I can wait.” He nods and goes about gathering his things together.

“So, what’s on the agenda for today?” I ask. Bellamy steps into the ensuite and I hear the shower start.

“I have another Alpha meeting today, at around lunchtime.” Bellamy calls out.

“Another one? Didn’t you have one not too long ago?” I question. I glance towards the ensuite, not surethat I will be able to hear him through the door and over the shower, except… the door is still open. Notthe whole way, but just enough that we can still speak to each other properly. Still… is that weird? Idon’t know. It can’t be weirder than him helping me wash my hair so I guess it’s fine, as long as he isn’tworried by it I suppose I won’t stress over it either.

“That last meeting was an additional meeting called because of their concerns over Tristain’s death andthe complaints they received, this is our regularly scheduled meeting. Although it is rather insulting thatthey feel they have the right to interfere with any of the decisions I make. I don’t interfere with theirmatters.” He complains.

“It does seem rather disrespectful of them. Why do they think they can do that?“I wonder aloud.

“Mostly because I’m the youngest I suspect. They complain I’m inexperienced and that I don’t have amate, but honestly I suspect that the Canine and Avian Alphas would complain either way. The jokeson them though. I put up with their attitude for now, but one day they’ll push it too far and replacethemselves being thrown out on their ass.” he says this gleefully and I snicker at the mental image.

“What about Alpha Kohen?” I continue.

“Hmmm, he might be a bit big to throw out on his ass. I guess if I need to kick him out it might be moreof a team effort. I’ll make the guys do it instead.” he declares and this time I’m full on laughing,

“No! I mean, does he try to make demands and boss you around?” I question. Bellamy

chuckles to himself.

“Not so much, he’s more laid back, and infinitely more useful to talk to. I plan to mention the murdersand see if the other Alphas have any ideas, although to be honest I don’t care much

what the other two have to say.” He admit

“That’s a good idea. Is the meeting here like last time?” I ask. I might be able to listen in if it

1. is.

“Annoyingly, no. It’s at the Canine Alpha’s place. I did offer to host it again, but he refused, somethingabout me getting too comfortable running the meetings. As if they listen to a word I say anyway.” Hegrumbles. Ah. I assume he wanted the meeting here so that he could keep an eye on me. He clearlyisn’t thrilled to be going out. The water in the shower goes silent.

“Don’t worry about it too much. I’m sure Aaron will come hang out for a bit.” I reassure him. Bellamyexits the ensuite, a towel hanging low on his hips and I have to repress a squeak. I replace myself runninginto the ensuite to brush my teeth. I swing the door shut behind me and I think I hear Bellamy chucklingto himself. I clean my teeth then glance in the mirror and I’m horrified at the absolute bird’s nest my hairhas become. I definitely should have dried it properly before going to bed. I grab my brush and burstout of the bathroom.

“Bellamy! My hair is an absolute mess! Why didn’t you say anything?” I demand. Bellamy is just pullinga shirt on and he smirks at me.

“I didn’t notice,” he responds. Liar. He totally noticed. He’s just enjoying laughing at me.

“In that case you must be BLIND!” I snap at him. He just grins, enjoying my dramatics. He guides meby the shoulders to sit on the edge of the bed then takes my brush from me and begins sorting throughmy hair for me. He sighs loudly.

“I wish I didn’t have to go today. I would take you with me, but…” he trails off and I shake my head theninstantly regret it when it makes the brush tug in my hair.

“It’s fine. Aaron will come over and I’ll replace a way to stay busy. I’ll spend some time with. Meganprobably, maybe work on the whole meditation thing some more. It will be fine.” I

promise.
