Josy Both of them seem a little disappointed to see that it is empty, and they start to look a little sad when each room after that turns out to be empty too. After walking into four empty rooms, Malik asks if we can go back to the Pack-house. "Malik, there are two more rooms to look at. Why don't you check out those first, and then we can head back to the Pack-house if you want to." I answer. Ivan opens the door to his room, and instead of yelling or screaming, he starts crying, but I can tell it isn't because he is sad. Malik looks past him into the room, and I hear him whisper, "She didn't forget about us." I wrap my arms around both of them and tell them I could never forget about them, that they are my family. We spend the rest of the day at the cottage, and when I am preparing dinner, the boys are in the backyard loving the patio daybeds I placed there. A knock on the door has me calling out to Malik to open the front door; I need to keep an eye on the stove, and I am not expecting anyone. "Hello, Conan. Aunt Josy is in the kitchen." I hear Malik say when he opens the door, and his footsteps tell me that he is running back to the backyard. "Hey, Josy. It looks like the boys are enjoying their new home." Conan says as he walks into the kitchen, and I tell him how things went when they were exploring the first floor. "I came by to tell you that they will be back in the morning. We have twenty-seven new Pack-members, and one of them happens to be your big Brother's Mate." He says, and I nearly drop the plates I have in my hands. "Argos finally found his Mate?" I ask as I turn towards Conan. "Maybe now he will be too preoccupied to follow me around." I mumble, and we both laugh. During dinner, I tell Ivan and Malik that Mano will be returning in the morning, and after they have settled down after that announcement, I tell them that Argos has found his Mate. Both of them are happy for him; they really consider him their Uncle, and both are a bit sad when I tell them that Jahi will be leaving our Pack. Chai has been pacing in my head ever since we heard that Mano would be returning in the morning, but she refuses to tell me why she is so nervous. It takes me a little longer to put the boys to bed; they are so excited about their new rooms, and I allow them a little leeway. I curl up on one of the daybeds in the backyard with a latte macchiato, and as I look around the backyard, I think about my Mate; I really miss him. Don't get me wrong, I am still upset with him for ignoring me. However, I do understand why he needed to go with Alpha Lakota and that he needed to deal with Alpha Roland. Mano just wants to make sure no one will come after his family again, but I wish he had talked to me about it. I hope that one day I will be sitting on this daybed with my Mate and a huge baby bump watching our other youngsters. It is possible we get Pups and Cubs; it might be just one of them, and I truly don't care as long as Mano is beside me. "You will get that wish sooner than later." Chai says with a twinkle in her eyes, and I am glad I am holding an empty mug, or it would have covered my lap and the daybed. I place my hand on my belly as I think of the tiny life that is growing inside of me; we won't know if it is a Cub or a Pup until this little one is born. Chai makes me release the block I have on my feelings; I didn't want Mano to feel the turmoil of my emotions. It could have distracted him from his task, and that could have had serious consequences, but now it is safe to let my feelings flow through our bond again. I wonder if Mano and Torben will understand my feelings, and I smile when I try to imagine the look on his face when I tell him about my pregnancy. RomanoI almost lose control of the SUV when I feel Josy's emotions again. Argos asks me if I am okay, and he smiles when I tell him that Josy released the block on her emotions. "It was like a tidal wave hit me, after not feeling her for nearly a week. She seems excited, so I guess someone told her we are on our way back." I say, smiling. This will be my last night sleeping alone; I will never let my Little Angel out of my sight again. Even if it means she gets pissed off at me, I will follow her wherever she goes and hold her in my arms every chance I get. Torben points out that this feeling will only get stronger when she is pregnant, and I chuckle as I imagine how she will respond then. When I wake in the morning, I can feel that Josy is feeling anxious, and Torben makes me sit down to help soothe her feelings; we use the bond to send her our feelings of love and devotion. Slowly her anxiousness vanishes, and I sigh in relief when I feel her love for us through our bond. "Okay, what was that?" Argos asks as he looks at me with a strange look on his face, and for a moment I have no idea what he is talking about. That is until Colton points out I was purring out loud. "Josy was feeling anxious about something, so I used our bond to help her calm down." I answer as if it is the most normal thing in the world, but apparently it doesn't work this way for Wolves and Lycans.
