The Wolves Beneath the Sanctuary

Chapter 482 Crib

Amarah Knowing why Theseus is so overprotective doesn’t make it easy, but at least know I understand why he does certain things and yes, I still want to kick his ass. Joseph and Inti stopped with their bet and as an explanation Joseph said that he knows it is just the Alpha in his Father that causes the overprotectiveness. Theseus did inform our family and leadership about Chrissy’s unborn Pup and each of them is helping him in any way they can to minimize his stupid behavior as I call it. I won’t break if I get up to get something or if I need to pee, but then again try telling Theseus that. Joseph is helping Theseus with the nursery and both of them are arguing about the color for the walls right now, as if a newborn Pup cares what color the walls are. Ever since they found out we are going to have a Pup both of them have been arguing about everything.From the crib to the rocking-chair, from the carpet on the floor to the color for the walls and all I do is smile. I have always known what I wanted as a nursery for my Pups, I had drawn everything up with the help of Ione and Alastor and as my Mate and Son are arguing our family is busy making the nursery as I want it. I am actually taking advantage of the fact that Theseus is so damn overprotective, because it means he doesn’t leave my side at all and that gives the others time to take care of the nursery. To make sure he doesn’t suspect anything one of them walks into the main living room or office from time to time to keep us company. “Amarah, everything is done.” Alastor says in my head and I smile as I get up from the couch, Theseus is quick to follow me. I walk up the stairs with Theseus and Joseph following right behind me and as we reach the top floor Theseus asks if I am tired. “Yes, I am tired of the two of you arguing about the nursery. Neither one of you has asked for my opinion and this is my Pup as much as it is your Pup, my Alpha.” I answer him and both stop walking as I look at them, both of them apologizing for not including me. “Well, both of you can stop arguing. The nursery is done and it is just as I have always wanted.” I say as I open the door. In front of the window is a couch big enough for the three of us, on the left side of the room is the changing table which used to be a normal dresser from Nanna and Pappi. On the right side of the room is the crib, which can be changed into a toddler’s bed by removing the front and behind it on the wall is a mural of a forest. If you look closely at it you can see three Wolves within the tree line, each Wolf represents one of us and Joseph is the first to see it. “Dad, look. Griffin is right there.” He points at the mural and a second later he has found Linus and Minerva as well. With the forest on one wall the other walls got a very light natural color, the crib is white with walnut accents and the changing table is ultramarine green.Theseus’ eye falls on the chair next to the crib and he smiles the moment he sits down in it, it is more of a glider than an actual rocking-chair. The colors are the opposite of the crib and with the ottoman the perfect addition to our nursery, behind the door is a closet hidden from sight. “How did you manage to do this?” He asks and I smile as I hand him the folder Ione kept all these years. Joseph crawls on his lap as I sit down on the couch and both of them look at the drawings Ione made, reading the comments Alastor and I had put next to them. This is what I had always dreamt of, this is what I have and this is what I will always cherish. Theseus I felt a lot better after I told our leadership and our family about Chrissy’s unborn Pup and even though I am still overbearing Amarah now understands why. She tells me why she is getting up before I can jump up and Linus is the one telling me she won’t break if she does something herself.“Dad, can you give me the patrol schedule?” Joseph asks and with a smile on my face I hand it to him. After I told everyone what had been bothering me Joseph had asked Delia if he could use the Luna office and she had given him permission to use it. He had gotten up as he looked at our Gammas and said “You two, come with me.” They had followed him into Delia’s office and through the mind-link we had been joking about, Amarah had been curious so she followed them. Joseph hadn’t close the door and we had watched as he sat down behind the desk. He had asked Apollo about border patrols and when Melia tried to say he was to young he had interrupted her, “Gamma Melia, it concerns my Mother’s safety and history won’t repeat itself.” I wasn’t sure if I should laugh my ass off or be damn proud of my Son. Apollo linked us if he should answer Joseph or not and Amarah told him to answer Joseph’s questions. Apollo and Melia answered all of his questions and I was surprised on how much he actually understood. He had asked Melia for the patrol schedule and she had handed it to him without hesitation. “Delta Eos, could you come here for a moment?” He had called out and Eos walked over to the desk to look at the schedule with Joseph. She had smiled at him as he was pointing at the list a few times and nodded her head before she told him that he had been paying attention. She walked out of the office as he handed the list back to Melia and informed her of his observations during training of some of the Warriors, he pointed out that some were not ready yet and others would be better in a different position. Ever since then he has been going over the patrol schedule every single day. Amarah and I have been watching Joseph closely and we both know he will make a great Gamma one day, but I doubt it will be to his siblings. The bond between him and Inti is so close that we both think he will leave White Mountain Pack for Little Crescent Pack to follow his friend and we will accept that without any doubt. Our Pup will have his or her leadership by his or her side from the moment they are all born and like Amarah and her leadership they will share a room until they turn sixteen. Their Quarters are on the floor below ours and when the time comes they will move to the top floor, while we will move to a cottage of our own. It isn’t something I want to think about just yet, but I know that that day will eventually come and knowing what we will do is reassuring somehow. Linus chuckles as Joseph stands next to Apollo pointing out a few things he noticed during training and both of them discuss the best way to make changes to the schedule. None of the Warriors is upset when Joseph points out their flaws or strength and some are even grateful that they get taken of certain tasks. He follows Eos around after school and he always pays attention when someone is explaining something.
