I looked around but I was still at the same tent from before.
"I'm really back huh"
At the corner of the room, I saw a little crib and my eyes widened.
"Is that..."
I tried to stand but I couldn't.
I looked down to see...
"Fur?"
I shifted? but when?
‡Hey, so you're finally awake, huh. I thought you were going to sleep and never wake up. Maybe you could be cinderella then get a kiss from your prince charming‡
"That's sleeping beauty"
‡same thing‡
I rolled my eyes and scoffed.
*Hey, don't forget about me*
"Who are you again?"
*Don't worry, I will knock some sense into you so you'll remember*
I scoffed again and laughed.
"Of course I remember you. There's no way I could forget"
*I know*
It became silent for some seconds and just as I was about to speak up again, I heard another voice in my head.
«umm, hi»
It was really light and soothing which caused my eyes to widen.
"Who...are you?"
‡Your spirit. Who else do you think she is?‡
"Rita?"
«hehe, that's me»
She sounded nervous for some reason and I chuckled.
"Nice to meet you"
«We've actually met before»
"We have?"
«I see. You've forgotten»
She sounded disappointed and I cleared my throat.
"Sorry..."
«it's okay. I'll just go back to sleep now»
For some reason, I feel like she's gonna give me alot of trouble.
"How did I even awaken her"
*Seems like you were having a really bad dream to the point where you tried to fix everything then bam. She just woke up*
"I see..."
That's right, I just had a dream about Romeo's and Matteo's past. But that didn't feel like a dream. It felt so real and...
I heard crying coming from the crib and I turned to it and smiled.
I shifted back then looked around but there was no clothes for me to wear.
I ripped my old ones.
It doesn't matter, it's just me in here anyways.
I stood up and walked over to the crib. As I looked at my son's face, I felt tears roll down my cheeks as I stared at him.
"Hi, Adrian"
I smiled at touched his head which made him immediately stop crying.
"That's the name that your grandmother gave you. It's pretty cute right?"
The tears kept falling as I looked at him.
"I'm so... I'm so glad you're safe"
I didn't need to be awake to know how much effort everyone put in for him to live.
I'm so glad that they didn't give up on him or else I don't know what I would've done.
I wiped my tears and kept on patting his head with a smile on my face.
I can't just get used to this feeling.
It reminds me of the first time I had Hazel and Cora.
Suddenly the door to the tent opened and Matteo walked in.
His eyes widened as he saw me and I smiled.
"Hi..."
Images of him as a child started flashing through my mind and I couldn't help but frown.
"I-"
He rushed up and hugged me before I could even say anything and I giggled.
"I just woke up, you know"
He hugged me tighter and I smiled then ran my hands through his hair.
"Say something"
"I... thought you weren't going to wake up. I thought that you were going to leave me alone again. I was so scared"
I kept on patting his head and smiling.
He's still the same as before.
"Why would I? I'm not that weak you know"
"I know but-"
"Alpha?"
"DON'T COME IN"
He let me go and took of his shirt then gave it to me.
It's just like the old times.
I smiled and put it on.
"By the way, where's Romeo?"
"He didn't move an inch for hours and it became really cold so I had to knock him out"
"I see..."
I turned back to Adrian and smiled before I walked out the tent into the cold chilly night.
"MOMMY!!"
I turned to see Hazel and Cora both running towards me and I smiled then picked both of them up.
"I missed you girls"
"We missed you too."
Hazel kissed me on the cheek and I smiled.
"Geez, look at all that has happened when we weren't around. Don't worry, we won't leave your side again"
Cora said and I nodded.
"Okay, then..."
"So...you guys already had another child before this one"
I turned to look at Rosa who was still inside the bubble placed by grandmother.
She had bags under her eyes with dried mascara down her face.
She looked like she had given up hope and I out them down then walked over to her.
"Rosa, who gave you those drugs?"
"I don't know. A man with a scar. He always had his face covered so I couldn't see him clearly"
She blurted out without any thoughts and I frowned.
That same man with a scar. Who exactly is he?
"Lilian..."
I turned back to her and she looked at me with a dead gaze.
"What exactly do you have that I don't? Why is life so unfair to me? I just wanted to be with the ones I love so why?"
"I don't play dirty like you do and plus I have self respect for myself"
She scoffed and turned away before her bubble popped and she disappeared.
I turned to see Zoe who smiled and walked over to me.
"Looks like grandmother forgot about her so I sent her to the Goddess realm. They'll know what to do with her"
I nodded and smiled.
"Thanks"
My smile faded as I started to think: who exactly is this man with a scar.
I saw him too in my dream. He was the one who shot Miss Aphrodite but why is he trying to attack me? He could've killed me there if he wanted to right? And plus, how did I even get there. There's no way I could get to another person's memories without some strong magic.
One thing for sure is that he used Rosa to get to me. No, my son. I have a feeling that it's not me that's his target but my son.
I looked back at the tent and sighed.
I'll talk to the guys about this later. For now let me go see Romeo.
I'm sure he'll be happy to see me.
I assigned Zoe to protest the kids and she nodded then I walked back to the pack house and into the room where Romeo was in.
He was sleeping quietly and I smiled then entered the bed with him.
After some seconds he woke up and looked at me.
It took him some seconds to realise that it was me but when he did, his eyes widened and he sat up then pulled me into his arms as he was giving me a bone crushing hug.
"Romeo...Romeo... I-"
"You're awake. So that means everything went well"
He kept on hugging me and I smiled.
"Thank goodness."
"Mmhmm, everything went well."
"I'm glad"
The door opened and Matteo walked in then scoffed.
"Could you at least give her space to brea-"
Romeo threw a glass vase at him that came literally our of nowhere and Matteo was barely able to dodge it before he turned back to Romeo.
"What is wrong with you?"
"That's for punching me. My head hurts because of you"
"You deserved it"
He shut the door and got into the bed.
I sat in the middle and smiled.
"You guys are still very childish"
"It's Romeo that's acting like a child. He threw a vase at me for goodness sakes"
"You punched me"
"See? What'd I say"
I just laughed and shook my head.
"I can't with y'all"
Romeo wrapped his hands around waist and rested his chin on my shoulder.
"So? What do you plan to do now"
"Well, we'll have to go back to our pack first. I think we've overstayed our welcome"
Plus Romeo killed their Alpha.
"Okay and?"
"And... Rebuild my old pack. I promised justice that I would"
"I see..."
"And finally, I'll spend the rest of my life with you guys as we raise our kids then grow old together"
I'm tired of adventures, I think I'm ready to be a Luna now.
Matteo turned my face and kissed me while Romeo pulled me closer and bit my neck.
I parted from him and looked away.
"W-what are you guys doing so suddenly? I-I just woke up, ya know"
"Yo-"
There was a knock on the door and I quickly stood up the ran and opened it.
It was Zoe carrying Adrian who was crying.
"Wh-"
"Take him. I'm not your nanny. I give up."
I laughed and carried him then smiled.
"Thanks"
She hugged and walked away.
When I turned around, I saw Cora and Hazel in the bed and I raised a brow.
"How did you guys get in here?"
They just whistled and I sighed.
So they even taught them how to conceal their presence.
I walked over to the bed and put Adrian in the middle then layed beside him.
Cora and Hazel both got on top of the guy's backs and smiled.
"Can we stay here tonight? Those mean uncle's made us sleep on the cold floors, hard beds, and even trees. It was horrifying"
"That's nothing. Our father used to make us sleep in the mountains and fend for ourselves some nights. You're lucky that that's the least you get"
Romeo said and they pouted.
"No fair. I don't want to sleep in the mountains"
"Don't worry, apart from some poison snake bites and deadly scorpions, I don't think there's anything less dangerous"
They started crying and I started to laugh.
"Okay stop teasing them. Yes, you guys can stay here"
I put Adrian in his crib that Zoe brother and layed back down.
The girls were still crying while the guys were still teasing them. I couldn't help but laugh.
I really hope that you things would be this peaceful forever.
