Emmaline laughed along with everyone else. Sam even let out a half laugh. Kiara purred, “Mate isn’t even here yet and he’s making people laugh.” I agreed, “Dylan is the best.” My husband appeared with cake, and I shot Sam a smirk. My friend promptly burst into tears though. Emmaline winced.
I linked Jackie, “I thought we got off the horrible mom train.” Jackie shrugged. I gave Dylan a pleading look. Kiara purred, “Mate already fixed it.” I beamed at my husband. God, the man was fine and all mine.
Valerie squeezed my hand before leaving with Sam and Chelsea. Jackie linked, “I’m going to see if I can find a Fairy to conjure me a drink while I watch Shana and Jessica like a hawk. If they aren’t still in their mates laps, I’m chasing them back there.”
I laughed, “You get them guard dog Jackie.” Jackie snorted, “I just can’t take hearing them doubt that their family wants to spend time with them. I’ll talk to their Gamma Females too. If they don’t know Gamma things about their mates, then I’ll fix that too. Cassandra was such a hateful woman that I wouldn’tdoubt if she infected the entire pack leadership aside from Molly and Haley.”
I reasoned, “Cassandra had Molly until she and Haley bonded.” Jackie sighed, “Yes, but Haley’s been working with Shana and Jessica a lot.” I replied, “They didn’t cut Cassandra off like Molly did. Those two have probably been living with a hell of a lot of guilt twenty-four seven for quote ‘betraying Cassandra’ by being friends with Haley.”
Jackie sighed, “Damn. I need a drink for them. That’s a whole lot in addition to Sam’s mom guilt, which is so real.” I agreed, “It is and Sam has relied less on us as her friend group with Melanie, than she did with her boys. I’m worried she’s just a little overwhelmed.”
Jackie said, “I’ll talk to Emmaline about it. We’ll just try to solve all the problems today.” I sighed, “It doesn’t help if Sam doesn’t want to change it. I’m not sure why she isolated herself during this pregnancy and afterwards. I’m worried about her.” Jackie nodded and left with Emmaline, who looked worried too.
My mate quickly captured my attention. Dylan looked so damn good. Kiara purred, “He always does.” Yeah, but my lust was spiking because he was so hot. My mate fixed problems that weren’t his to fix because he is a good man. Which made me want to jump him. I also really wanted to eat my cake.
Dylan of course had the solution. Orgasms while I ate cake. By the time he stopped I faded away into a dreamless sleep. When I woke up, my mate was in a candy cand striped outfit that was perfectly him. Kiara growled in an appreciative tone, “Mate looks perfect in those tight pants.” Yes, he did.
Then, to my shock, my husband picked me up and put me in the tub. God, it felt so good on all my muscles. Kiara snorted, “You know mate will throw a half birthday party for Hank one year if even one person shorts him a single present.”
I did know that, but that was ok. I didn’t want Hank to get gypped out on presents because he was a Christmas pup. Maybe I should just convince Dylan to throw Hank a half birthday party, so our son never felt that way. It wouldn’t even be hard to accomplish.
I knew I should hurry through getting ready because Dylan was needed out at the party, but he didn’t want me to. Kiara told me, “Mate said to relax, let’s do just that.” I told my wolf, “That man loves us with his whole soul. Dylan loves being on time. Especially if he planned everything.”
Kiara reasoned, “We are still in the right building. Plus, we get our comfy chair back.” Yeah, I needed that to come home with us. Kiara chuckled, “Fang said it is coming to our house.” Oh, thank God. That couch was amazing.
Emmaline linked me, “Are you and Dylan making a dramatic entrance?” I laughed, “Not that I know of. Dylan didn’t wake me up and just told me to take my time getting ready.” Emmaline cooed, “Awww, I love that. All our pups are having a blast back at home.”
I replied, “Thanks for checking on them.” Emmaline replied, “Of course. They are my niece and nephews, I adore them. Plus, they are with my kids.” Eventually I got out of the tub. I told Hank, “Your debut is almost here. Let’s go to see your dad work his Christmas magic.”
I walked out and felt my makeup on before I could even ask Emmaline. Kiara chuckled, “Our hair is done too. Mate linked her for us.” I linked Emmaline, “Apparently linking you myself would be too straining.”
Emmaline laughed, “Dylan’s adorable.” He really was. Dylan helped me get dressed and I decided I really loved Haley in a deeply platonic way. Kiara declared, “I’m telling Thor his mate is the best.” I wished I could link Haley because this red dress made me feel incredible.
Kiara sighed, “I wanted the snowman chair.” I reasoned, “It’s coming home with us at least.” Kiara perked up, “That’s true.” Dylan carried me out of the room. Kiara purred, “Walking does sound taxing.” I would argue, but she was right.
Plus, right now it would be fair to call what I did waddling. I saw my new chair easily when we walked out. It was more like a bed, but that was fine. Kiara purred, “Mate is the best.” There would be zero argument from me about that.
The sleigh chair / bed was stunning. There was even a drink waiting for me, ready to drink. Kiara added, “I smell snacks too.” Yeah, that was my amazing man. Dylan would never miss a single trick so this sleigh had everything I could need.
Emmaline giggled across our link, “I got to help by charming the reindeer. This is just so sweet.” My mate was actually having reindeer pull my sleigh. Shana and Jessica waved excitedly at me while tucked into their mates sides. I felt happy about that.
Kiara snorted, “They would also do that at adult parties.” Yeah, but their eyes looked happier today. Kiara conceded, “That is true.” Dylan ran to the middle of the room. Eric muttered, “I cannot believe he stopped throwing this damn party. He has too much fun with it.”
Haley giggled, “It was so much fucking fun to plan.” Eric nuzzled her, “It looks amazing. I still can’t believe Dylan wanted to host it in our territory.” I bit my lip, because there was a specific reason for that. Krampus was attacking.
Lucas asked, “Oh god, what’s going on? I have to know so that I am ready for the level of crazy we go to. Is there some Santa that’s going to try to get Eric in his lap? I can’t let people see Santa get beat up, and that’s where this will go.”
I snorted, “There will be no Santa getting beat up over made up situations you concocted. Come on now, you know that’s sacrilegious to my mate.” Lucas warned, “I sense something isgoing on. Is there a cake they will make Eric eat, or some kind of shit?” I just smirked at my brother who sighed.
Emmaline conjured me the gift I’d gotten for my exchange to my sleigh. I laughed happily enjoying the moment until it was my turn. I told the reindeer, “Take us to Maribella.” My sleigh moved over to their group. Alpha Tucker greeted, “Little Lacy, this is quite the getup you have going on.”
I grinned, “Well, you’ve met Dylan. The man can’t do anything halfway.” I handed Maribella the present. A smile overtook my Luna’s half-sister’s face when she opened the Christmas themed silverware she loved to collect.
Maribella squealed, “I don’t have any of these! Tucker, look at them!” She held up all the boxes. Maribella snorted, “You went overboard, but I love it so much!” I gave her a hug and said, “Merry Christmas, Maribella.” She hugged me back and replied in kind.
I told my sleigh, “Back to my spot.” Maribella laughed, “After I take my shot and yours.” I asked, “Mine?” Maribella winked, “We were told whoever had you had to take your shot because you planned to be pregnant.” I shot a look over at my mate who saluted me.
Maribella took her shots. I instructed, “Onward, charmed reindeer, back to my spot.” Jessica yelled, “Wait!” I said, “Or not.” Jessica blushed then came over to me with a gift. Kiara snorted, “This should be good.” I replied, “Jessica actually gives pretty thoughtful gifts.”
