grunted.
“A mess of them and boy are they a mess.” He chuckled. “You’ll have to meet
my mother but I want you to know that I am not her favorite, none of us that
you’ve met are. Victor was her favorite. He’s out there somewhere.” She
watched his face go through many emotions and took his hand in hers then
squeezed it. He smiled. “Victor is older. Mother and he thought that when
Dad passed that he would be the alpha. They used to sit together, plot and
plan. I would hear them sometimes and their plans were…well let’s just say
that they weren’t beneficial to the pack. Dad must’ve figured it out because
he made me the alpha before he died. Victor ran off and Mom lost it. She
picked us apart one by one. She’s gotten worse over time. I don’t mean to
give you a bad impression or to turn you against her but you should know what
you’re in for with her. She can be cruel and manipulative, so you’ll need to
have a thick skin.” Shauna nodded and wiped her mouth with her napkin. “What
would you like to do today? Do you want to work or do you want to spend the
day here getting to know each other?” He leaned toward her kissing her jaw
then cheek. “Whatever you’d like, either is fine.”
“I want a shower.” He nodded.
“Then…we’ll see.” She hopped down from the stool and padded across the kitchen
then turned and wiggled her forefinger at him in a ‘come here’ gesture. Shauna
turned and sprinted down the hall with Connor hot on her heels. They made love
in the shower and again while they were supposed to be dressing. Shauna
finally made it Missus B’s just after lunch.

“You’re glowing.” Naomi grinned.
“Thank God. How was it?” She dropped the wire that she was working with and
turned completely around on her stool to study her sister. Shauna sighed.
“Wow.” Naomi’s smile was wide and she giggled. She hopped off her stool and
hurried over to squeeze Shauna hard. “I’m so happy for you Sissy. Is he
amazing?” Shauna blushed, smiled, and then nodded her head frantically. “So
is Mike. I mean OMG fantastic. I mean he can do things with that tongue of
his that makes me see stars. How about Connor?” Shauna went to sit at her worktable
and played with some of the beads. “Damn your face is red! I will take that
as a yes.” Naomi sighed. “Okay, now that you are completely embarrassed, I
have this for you to work on.” She held up a blouse “And these.” She had a
hand full of earrings. “What first?” Shauna took all of it and put it on her
table.
“He wants four kids.” Shauna
murmured.
“Shut up! Really? You two are
meant for each other. Two and two?” Shauna shrugged.
“He didn’t say. But I guess so or
maybe just whatever comes out.” Shauna laughed. “It’s not like you can send
them back if they’re all boys.”
“No but you can always keep trying
for our littlest Princess, can’t you?” Naomi stretched a length of wire out
and stared down its length with one eye closed. “Did you eat?” Shauna
nodded. “I’m going to make a sandwich.” Naomi went down the back stairs to
the kitchen while Shauna started on the blouse. Naomi screamed, the sound
scaring Shauna’s heart into the familiar drum roll of a panic attack. She went
to the steps anyway instead of sitting and breathing the way she was supposed
to when this happened.
“Mimi?” She called down the
stairs. She could hear her sister struggling and heard a man grunt. It almost
sounded like Connor but something was off about the tone of the man’s voice. Shauna
heard a sickening thud then something fall to the floor. She was next. The
panic attack in full swing robbed her lungs of oxygen sending Shauna to the
floor in a heap.
“Two for one, what a deal.” The
man lifted Naomi easily into his arms. Her mouth was taped shut, her
