Chapter 18 Pickles

Two weeks. Two long weeks we have been stuck here. Not that I am really complaining honestly, I do love it here, but I miss home. King Marcus allotted Pen and Daddy and Gar to go back home last week, to catch up on pack business and to continue the search for that girl. No one knows why King Marcus wants her, but really no one asked. It's not our business anyway, but I had some ideas.

No one heard from Prince Miguel, in fact he has completely disappeared. I knew King Marcus was worried, especially for me and the babies, before I got pregnant nobody told me it would only be about, four and a half months of being pregnant. No one told me! That is some vital information that you pass on to the carrier, if I am not mistaken, so now I had four months. Basically I had started to develop a bit of a tummy, don’t judge I like to eat. That and the fact that there are two in there.

Okay so the double chocolate cake helpings and massive amounts of cookies I could have held off on but come on.... Its just so yummy.

Ash and Cay have been falling over themselves trying to 'accommodate' my moods. Mostly, my moods are just for the fun of watching them run around with their tails between their legs. I secretly think, that King Marcus and his mate Annabelle have been having a blast watching the show, they don’t show it to anyone, but I can see the smiles they share, the knowing looks, it's sweet.

I have also had a chance to become closer with Matty and his mate Gloria. She is a wonderful girl, when you take away her personality, her anger, her attitude, her....You know what, she isn’t nice at all. I also found out that the girl who was hitting on my mate, was her sister. Unreal right? Ya I thought so too. I wont say that Gloria and I will be friends but I will say she's not so.... she's not.... ya, okay I got nothing, I really don’t like her, she is just like her sister. I’ve been secretly wondering if this mate thing is real between them? I, for some reason, think it's staged. Matty doesn’t show her near the amount of affection one would show a mate. I mean if you look at the King and Queen you see love, full blown, can't get enough of you, love. With them, well Matty doesn’t seem to give two pies about her. Mhm, pies.

I gotten to know a lot of the staff and some of the other families that live here or around here and they are wonderful people, so kind to me, so giving to others, they really are remarkable people.

I have also started working with King Marcus on matters of the Were people. So far I have actually been of some help. There was an issue with funding for one community where they needed more money for a new building, turns out that one of the dignitaries that is stationed there, had been scamming and taking unnoticeable amounts of money. I say unnoticeable because it was under a five thousand dollar mark. Seven years he had been saying that that five grand a month was going to paying certain people, but when I looked into it, those people didn’t exist.

Problem solved, they took a look at his bank account and found a rather large sum of money. He was stripped his tittle and sent to the were-prison. I mean ya, I feel bad but come on, that guy was taking money from little kids mouths. There was a shelter that that money was meant to go to, and he had cut it down, thinking no one would see it so he would get away with it, and he did, until I called it out.

For the people who thought I was a waste of space, they sure found out fast, that I could make a difference. I also helped with redirecting money in other places, so basically I am now a glorified accountant.

Right now though, I'm chilling with Cay, Ash and Matty, in one of the games rooms. I had challenged them to a game of Call of Duty. I know, I was crap at playing, but that didn’t mean I couldn’t use my 'wilds' to ascertain a certain amount of lead over them, well except Matty. Chuckling I did just that.
