Page 31 of Pack: Posy 3

"Yeah. At the next full moon, they made the announcement about the packs and that Nathan and Evie were choosing each other as mates, and the Goddess blessed their union as well as the merging of the packs."

"That must have been something to see." She raised her head to meet my eyes.

"It was dazzling. Like being in the center of a meteor shower. We all felt a sense of rightness and relief." I grinned down at her. "That night, she visited me and my four brothers in a dream and told us we'd find you."

"So that's how you knew." Her big blue eyes stared up at me with pure love, and my heart squeezed.

"So that's how we knew." I kissed the tip of her nose. "Now, how about we take a break from the past and make some brownies?"

"Brownies? Yes, yes, yes!"

And to the kitchen we went.

8: Tag!

Lark

Someone tickled my mate link and woke me up.

Psst! Lark!

Granite?I muttered.What’s wrong?

Nothing. Wake up and come play with us!

Blinking my eyes open, I realized Posy was still asleep, and it seemed like the boys were, too, judging by all the wolf-lit eyes that peered down at me.

What time is it?I asked when I saw no light coming from the windows.

Who cares?Topaz bounced off the bed with a giggle.We want to play, dearest!

Blinking, I looked at Quartz, who wore a tiny smile.

Only if you want to, little mate, he said with a shrug.

We shift when we get outside, Granite said.Hurry, my love! Before boys stop us!

Okay, okay. I slid off the edge of the bed and almost stumbled to my knees.

Thankfully, Garnet caught me before I hit the floor.

Sorry. I still not used to our human body, I apologized with a blush.

It's okay, sweetheart. He smiled and leaned down to boop my nose with his.You'll feel steadier once you walk around a bit.

I nodded and let him lead me to the stairs.

Um, I think I better carry you down, sweetheart, he said, and I agreed wholeheartedly.

Falling down the stairs would put an end to our adventure real quick, although some of my mates were far from stealthy. Topaz, Gran and Sid had their hands over their mouths to muffle their giggles, but were still obnoxiously loud.

Sure, Posy was dead to the world, but if at least two of the boys weren't awake by now, I'd never chase another chipmunk.

For whatever reason, their human halves were letting us 'get away' with sneaking out, and I guessed they were either too amused - Cole and Jayden - or sleepy - Wyatt and Ash - to object. Or maybe they just wanted to give us bonding time.

It hard to tell what humans thinking unless they tell you,I admitted to myself.

As soon as we were downstairs, my wolves hustled us to the front door and opened it, dropping their t-shirts and boxers in a pile on the porch before shifting into their wolf forms. Going with the flow, I pulled off Mason's big t-shirt and skinned my panties down and shifted, too.
