Lukas

After our run together, she cooled down a it which is really good, because you don't want an angry or depressed Alana around the house with her human family.

I mean, you see what had happened when Fenris kidnapped Allen and Jaden. Her powers were all over the place and she ran away for a week and I thought she was dying.

Which is why I went with her this time. We can't have another repeat.

"Tia! Tio! You're back!" The boys cheered as they ran towards us with big smiles.

I smiled broadly at the bunch. I hope that we can have more pups around the house soon, because all these children running around is making me a little envious.

"Yea, I'm back. I can't stay away from you lot for too long, can I?" She smiled at all of them as we stepped further inside, kicking off her shoes.

"Oh, mi pequeño novio. I'm so sorry about him!" Milan came from the living room with her arms outstretched and pulled Lana into a hug.

"It's fine, Milan. Really." She said with a small smile.

No it's not...

[I wanted to tear his head off for making Alana cry and Eris sad today.] Ryker growled angrily.

[Me too, buddy. Me too.]

"No it's not. I can't have him treating you like that in your own home." She pulled away and looked at her as she crossed her arms. "I'm surprised that your husband didn't say anything yet. It looks like you want to."

I shoved my hands in my pockets. "Trust me, I do. If I get mad and confront him, it gets ugly. But I don't want to do that in front of you guy's children."

She scoffed and made a dismissive gesture. "Oh please. Whoop his ass and teach him a lesson. I don't care."

Alana giggled and walked with Milan and the kids. Now I need to take a shower and sort out this whole Fenris situation.

I'm trying to figure out a way to keep my pack safe and some way to ward off this demon because he can literally materialize anywhere. Meaning that he can take anyone from this house at any given moment and that bothers me.

Maybe I'll ask Alana for help... How to ward off demons. This is up her alley.

[Maybe there is some special spell that she could use.] Ryker perked up.

[I'll talk to her.] I replied.

I walked to our room and straight to the master bathroom and threw off my shirt and into the bin. I reached into the shower and turned it on.

(Hey, Lan. Are you busy right now?) I asked as I pulled off my pants and boxers and stepped in.

(I'm talking to Liz and Mila. We're planning to head to the lake so the kids can swim and have lunch out there.) She said. (What's wrong what do you need?)

I stepped under the warm water and let it soothe my tense muscles. I sighed with relief. (I was wondering if there is any way that we can ward off Fenris from the pack.)

She stayed silent for a moment. (I think so, I have to check in the journal that I got from the Goddess.)

I raised an eyebrow because this is news to me. (You got a journal from the Goddess?)

(Yea, I'm coming up the stairs anyways to get something. Where are you?)

(I'm in the shower.) I responded.

I didn't hear from her, but I heard the bathroom door creak open and I opened the shower curtains to see her with a mischievous smile as she stood in the doorway.

"A shower you say..." She tilted her head.

I nodded smelling her arousal and opened the curtains wider. "Care to join me?"

She looked me up and down before pulling her short over her head. "Don't mind if I do."

Alana

After that... shower...

I changed into my high waist red and white checkered fifties styled swimsuit and one of Luke's giant shirt to go over it.

"Do you have to go?" Lukas whined as he picked me up from under my thighs making me straddle him.

I wrapped my arms around his neck. "Yes, I have to go. I have plans with my family for lunch," I looked up at him and smiled, "You can join us."

He frowned at me. "You know that I need to deal with the pack after last night's incident. They're scared. They're not showing it, but you can feel it in the pack link."

I looked down and nodded. Protecting the pack is high priority right now. We can't have another killing. Thanks to Fenris, that wolf's mate is going to a pit of despair and she's neglecting her infant child. We had to place the pup into the care of another family member that resides in the pack.

It's a matter of time before she dies from grief or go rogue... It's a heartbreaking situation.

"Yea," I sighed sadly, "don't worry, we'll help them through this."

He smiled at me and kissed me on the forehead. He then fell sideways on the bed with me still attached to him. I let out a surprised yelp once we hit the bed.

"Lukas!" I glared at him and slapped him on the chest.

He chuckled and pulled me close to him and buried his face in my neck. "I wish we could stay in bed like this all day."

I giggled as we in a tangle of arms and legs on the bed just cuddling.

"That does sound like a good idea, but you have work to do and I have a family to keep entertained." I said softly.

He mumbled something and inhaled deeply. Then he sat up and stared at me. I shrank away from him raised an eyebrow.

"Did you buy new perfume or something?" He asked as he continued to sniff me.

"No. I've been wearing the same Winter Wonderberry from Bath and Body Works." I said.

He sniffed me again and then frowned slightly. "Mmm... I don't know. Smells like you've used something else. Your scent has changed." He said.

My scent changed?

Then he put his hand on my forehead and on my cheek. "Are you feeling okay? How do you feel? Are you feeling sick?" He asked frantically as he began to inspect me. "I don't know what this scent is and I don't want to take any chances."

I wriggled from his grip and held his hands in place while laughing. "I feel fine, Lukas." I began to stand up. "And if it will make you feel any better, I will make an appointment with the doctor."

"That makes me feel slightly better." He mumbled as he sat up, pouting.

I shook my head and stepped in front of him, placing my hands on either side of his face and kissed his forehead.

"I love you, Lukas." I said.

"I love you, too, Alana." He said softly as he tried pulled me close to him.

I quickly stepped back and smiled at his expression. It was so cute like a kicked puppy.

I started to walk backwards. "Try to get some work done, okay?" I winked.

"I will." He said as I turned around to walk out the door.

I walked briskly down the stairs, nearly breaking my neck when I made the mistake of missing a step. But I quickly caught onto the banister to catch myself.

[That was a close one.] Eris said.

Tell me about it...

"Hey, Allie! You ready to go?" Mila asked as soon as I reached the family room where everyone was waiting.

"Of course I'm ready to go. Just had to see if Luke was going to tag along, but he has his online classes." I lied. And I felt pretty bad about it too.

"Oh that's fine, novio." She smiled and waved me off dismissively.

"Where are you and the kids going?" Dean walked up suddenly.

She stood tall, the same height as me, 5'4 and stared that hazel eyed monster in the eyes. I honestly admire her stubbornness. Any other person would ruin their pants if Dean looked at them like he's looking at Mila right now.

"To the lake to have lunch and swim with Alana." She said as she placed her hands on her hips.

He pushed his chin into his neck a little as he raised his eyebrows. "You? And the kids and her are going to the lake to swim?" He asked in a monotone.

I clenched my jaw at his reference to me. It's only been half a day since they've been here and it's not going to take me half a day longer before I punch him in the jaw with no regrets.

I personally don't like violence, but I will punch a jerk in the face to put them in line.

Trust me, I'm not a pushover.

I JUST BIDE MY TIME UNTIL MY ANGER BUBBLES TO THE SURFACE AND I'LL KILL THAT WANKER!

I need to calm down...

Milan furrowed her eyebrows as she shifted her weight onto her other leg. "Of course we're going to the lake with Alana. Who else would we be going with? And quite honestly you should come along too! Family bonding!" She raised her voice slightly.

I stood there awkwardly because I have been in many awkward situations. Like the time I first walked in on my adoptive parents doing it.

Or the time I walked in on Roxas and one of his girlfriends about to do it.

Or the time some couple who decided to have an argument in one of the dressing rooms at Ross and then came into some sort of agreement with one another and started to do it in the dressing room next to me...

My poor wolf hearing... I swear all of my awkward moments have been inadvertently experiencing someone doing it.

But nothing is as awkward as this married couple in front of me arguing in Spanish.

Wait... When did they start to speak in Spanish?

And I know that they are talking about me because my name has been mentioned at least six times and every time my name is mentioned, Dean glared at me.

But good thing that I know Spanish...

Thanks to this power that the Goddess has bestowed upon me, I can speak almost all languages!

"Si no quieren ser a su alrededor, que no tiene que!" He shouted at the top of his lungs.

I flinched a little because his words stung and... It stung... He and Milan had a staring match, her silver eyes swirling silver, like a Seer— I am convinced that she is one— I took a deep breath and held a passive expression.

"He's right, Milan. If he doesn't want to be around me, he doesn't have to." I said quietly.

They both broke from their menacing glares and returned to more softer demeanor. They looked shocked at what I said.

I cleared my throat. "It's fine, really. I don't mind. Not everyone can like me. It's the way of life." I said feeling my throat tighten with every word.

It really hurt that my brother doesn't want to accept me...

Guess I have to live with that...

I gave them a small smile and walked past them out of the sliding glass door before any tears could escape my eyes.
