Dad chuckled while I extended my other arm and smiled back at her. “There’s room for one more, and it’s reserved for you,” I replied, and watched as she came forward, enveloping Dad and me into her warm and tight embrace.
The pups’ blessing will be in two hours. We were passing the time at the packhouse’s game room. I was sitting beside Riley as he played chess with Aaron, my cousin, who couldn’t keep bragging about his few-week-old pup. This was something I never had growing up—the warmth and comfort of a family—and even though I’m older now, I would never be too old for this.
“Caspian!” Alia’s voice snapped my attention away from the game Riley and Aaron were playing as my eyes darted to the entrance of the game room.
Alpha Caspian and Andrea were standing beside Alpha Jake and Luna Clair. They have arrived. Alia hugged Caspian, then passed her pup to him, and went to hug Andrea.
Riley stood up, taking me with him before he clasped his hand with mine. I could sense his anxiety. Even though I was certain he didn’t feel anything for Andrea now, he was still nervous about meeting her with me beside him.
I squeezed his hand before I tugged him to follow me as I approached the new arrival, letting go of his hand as Andrea welcomed me into her arms.
“Nadia!” Andrea squeezed me, giving me the warm smile that she seemed to never run out of. “I’m glad to see you here. And Clair told me about your father. I’m happy for you!” She whispered in my ear, and I could hear the sincerity in her voice.
“Thank you. I wasn’t expecting it but really grateful for it.” I told her as we let go of each other.
Riley was already behind me, and I saw him extend a hand to Alpha Caspian. They shook hands without saying anything. Both had firm expressions on their faces.
I snaked an arm around Riley’s waist as he tilted his head down to look at me before a smile graced his lips. “Alpha Caspian, since our Lunas have met each other. Let me introduce my Luna to you. Nadia, this is Alpha Caspian, Alpha of the Blue Meadows Pack.”
“Pleasure to meet you, Luna Nadia. I’ve heard many good things about you.”
“Nice to meet you, Alpha. I hope you really heard good things about me and you’re not just sugar-coating it.” I smiled at him as we shook hands.
“I can assure you they were good things.” His eyes then darted to Riley. “And congratulations on your pup!”
“I guess we can leave the females here and we can have our own session.” Alpha Jacob’s arms went to Riley and Alpha Caspian’s shoulders as he steered them away from us. He was followed by the rest of the males as they walked out of the game room.
Janna’s parents had already arrived, and everyone around us was family. It only dawned on me that this event was strictly for the family of the Black Shadow Pack rank wolves. Riley had told me that he and Alpha Jacob had thought I was David’s daughter, thus, they included us in the invitation. The news that I was Theodore’s daughter came as a surprise.
I still have to ask my mate how he connected me to Clair’s lineage, but this can wait. For now, I will enjoy the moment with my newfound family.
Chapter 101
NADIA.
We had just arrivedhome, and my body was tired from the whole day of talking and laughing with the females in Clair’s territory. I’ve never had so much fun with so many females before. I have my own set of friends. It was usually just me, Katarina, and Trish, but it was never this big. I was also glad to spend time with Laura and my dad.
They told Riley and me before we left that they would be visiting our territory in two weeks. And I couldn’t be more excited! I wanted Arrow to meet Dad and his wolf, and maybe we could run together on a full moon.
Riley opened our room door and turned on the dim lights. I slipped inside without saying anything. I was so tired and just wanted to soak in a warm tub.
Riley seemed to have read my mind as he helped me unzip the back of my dress and let the dress slide off my body, pooling at the end of my feet. He then leaned against my neck, his warm mouth brushing against my skin. I moaned softly, with my eyes closed, reveling in the warmth of his presence.
“Do you want me to prepare a bath for you?”
I flipped my eyes open, tilting my head to look at him before I nodded. “Please... Thank you.”
He just smiled at me before he pecked my lips and made his way toward the bathroom, while I walked around just in my underwear, drawing the curtains open and letting the moonlight shine inside our room.
It didn’t take long before Riley came back, and he was already naked. My eyes raked his body up and down before my gaze focused on my favorite part as I licked my lips. Arrow and I were gawking over his nude form, something I knew we would never get tired of.
“Goddess, Nadia… I can smell your arousal.” His voice was raspy as he walked toward me. His eyes were dilating, and his cock was already hard, pointing proudly at me. His hand went around my body, and I felt him snap my bra open from the back before he tugged my panties down, letting them fall on my feet. I was naked like him and knew I would soon be screaming and moaning his name again.
He took my hand and tugged on it, guiding me toward the bathroom, and my eyes widened at the new tub that replaced the old one that we had.
“Wow! Did you do this while we were away?” I couldn’t help the wide grin curling on my lips as I let my eyes sink into the view in front of me. The new one was a freestanding round tub that had a higher wall that would give Riley sturdy back support.
Oh, Goddess! Why was I thinking about sex already?
