story, and
when we have kids, we can tell them all the tales in the world. Today, tonight,
tomorrow, it’s not going to be that time.”
“You better feed me.”
“You sure you don’t want to have sex?”
Lucy opened her mouth to speak only to stop at the
sound of sexual groans, male and female.
“I told you,” Caleb said, smirking.
They were loud, and Lucy’s cheeks heated even more.
“We’re wolves, babe. This is what we do. You see why I
don’t have a problem.” Caleb opened the fridge, and she watched as he set down
slices of raw beef and vegetables.
“What are you making?” she asked.
“Beef stir-fry. It’s the only thing I know how to
cook.”
“Okay, cool.”
She watched as he sliced the beef thinly, adding some
spices and seasonings to the beef, and giving it a stir. Next he started
cutting all the onions, peppers, and carrots. She loved watching him in the
kitchen.
“You think we’re going to have kids?” she asked.
“Of course. At least five of them, I think.”
“Five kids?”
“Maybe more. I’ve always wanted a big family.”
“How come your mother never had more kids?” Lucy
asked. “She’s a wonderful mother.”
“She is. I don’t know. Dad focused on training me to
take the Alpha role. Between us, I don’t think he wanted to share my mom with
more kids. He’s an Alpha, and that took time away from her. With kids, he was
pulled away from her, and he hated it.”
“Your father loves you,” Lucy said.
“I know, but he loves my mother more. She’s his mate.”
Lucy smiled, and decided to tease him. “So, what
you’re saying is that because you want lots of kids, you don’t want to spend
any time with me?”
“Not at all. Don’t you want a big family?” he asked.
“Yes, I do.” Providing
we make it out alive.
“We will make it out alive.”
“You can hear me?”
“Duh, Lucy, be careful how you think?”
Laughing, Lucy rested her chin on her hand, watching
as he got a stir fry pan, and started heating it up. He brought another pan of
water to the boil, adding in some noodles.
“I never knew you could cook.”
“It’s good that I can keep you surprised.”
Over the next fifteen minutes, Lucy fell even more in
love with him as he made them both some food. Caleb always ate loads as he was
a wolf, but the scents were making her hungry.
“Bianca asked me not to do anything stupid today.”
“Listen to her. She loves you, Lucy.”
“I love her, too.”
The sounds of his parents having sex sent them into
the garden.
The night was dark, and the stars in the sky looked
even more beautiful.
“I meant what I said, don’t be a heroine.”
“You don’t need to keep telling me.”
“I see the debate you’re having with yourself. Don’t.”
They sat on the ground, facing each other, and started eating their food. The
ginger and garlic along with the beef tasted so good. It didn’t take her all
that long to finish the bowl of stir fry. It was damn tasty, and she rested her
head on Caleb’s shoulder, staring up at the sky.
“Do you think Clarissa and Andrew are watching us?”
she asked.
“Yes. They’ll do everything they can to keep you
safe.”
“It’s hard to think of them as Mom and Dad. Adele and
Kyle, they’re my parents. They raised me.”
He cupped her cheek. “You don’t need to worry. They
understand.”
“I think of it as I’ve got four parents, two dads and
two moms.” She kissed his lips. “I love you, Caleb.”
“I love you, too.”

Caleb didn’t like this feeling of impending doom. He
couldn’t lose Lucy. Taking the bowl from her hands, he placed it on top of his
own, and settled down on the grass. Lucy curled up against him, and he held her
tightly.
You’re going to lose her.
He ran his hands up and down her back.
His wolf paced in his mind, constantly observing,
waiting for any danger that was about to come for them.
Witches were after his woman. Warlocks were after his
woman.
