Home Sweet Home

*Natalie*

Oh my goddess, from what I can see with it still being dark, this place is amazing. The pack house itself is four stories high, with a bunch of windows. The front steps leading to the front door are stone, with the handrails and banisters being made out of oak wood. However, stepping inside, was something I would consider to be a dream.

"Alright, so on the first floor we have the kitchen, dining room, rec room, laundry room, my office, and library. The second floor is the guest rooms for when we have visitors. Third floor is for the Beta family and Gamma family. Last but not least the fourth floor is ours. It is the Alpha and Luna apartment." Lucas told me as we were going around doing a small tour. When we finally got to our floor he continued "Up here we have our room, two bathrooms, one is attached our room. We also have two spare rooms, kitchen, dining room, and living room."

"This is all so amazing Lucas!" I told him with excitement. Our floor was by far the best. Every room had warm colored paint on the walls, with white trim. The kitchen has a lot of counter space, dishwasher, stainless steel stove, two door fridge, and a double sided sink. When we get to the bedroom, I am in awe.

"This is our bedroom, over there on the right is the walk in closet. It has a his and hers side, with dressers included. The door on the left is the bathroom, which has a shower and bathtub. There is also a his and hers sink, and it has a door that leads to the walk in closet. Tomorrow we will go to the mall and get everything you need. But until then why don't you go ahead and get a shower and I will meet you in the kitchen when you are done." Lucas said while he watched me take everything in.

"That sounds like an excellent idea to me. Thank you Lucas." I said while giving him a hug. When I put my chin on his chest and looked up at him, I could see some confusion, love, and happiness.

"Why are you saying thank you babe?" He asked looking down at me.

"Because you took me out of that pack. I was going to try an run away in the next couple days because Midnight and I could not handle it anymore." I said truthfully. "I wasn't even going to tell grandma and grandpa about it either."

"Well it is a good thing I came when I did. Otherwise I would have missed out on finding you. I have waited a long time for you Natalie. I will make sure you are always happy, and if I screw that up at any point in time, I give you permission to slap me." Lucas said laughing a little.

After leaving Natalie in our room so she can shower, I headed down to the kitchen to make her and I breakfast. I cannot believe she was going to run from River Rock. What could have happened to have caused her to go to that extent?

Dom: she will tell us when she is ready. We shouldn't rush her. Midnight says that even though Natalie is happy they have us, Natalie is still putting up a wall. She doesn't want to get hurt again.

Me: I understand, and I will wait for as long as she needs me to. We have waited so long for her Dom, I am not about to let her go or hurt her in anyway.

Dom: I know, we have to protect them.

Me: And we will

By the time I was done thinking, and talking with Dom, I had breakfast made. I did not know what Natalie liked, so I made scrambles eggs, bacon, pancakes, and a couple waffles. After I got done setting everything out on our dining room table, Natalie came out of the bedroom.

Even though I had just seen her a few minutes ago, she still took my breath away. Her black hair almost looks like the night sky with the new moon, and her vivid green eyes are hypnotic. Even in clothes that I know she has had for a long time, I could make out the curves of her body. Ugh, don't start thinking anything, I thought to myself.

"Hey, did you enjoy your shower?" I asked after I cleared my throat.

"I did, thank you. And I see you made breakfast." Natalie replied.

"Yeah, I didn't know what you liked. So I kind of made a little of everything." I said while rubbing the back of my neck.

"You made all my favorites so points for you Mr." Natalie said with a giggle.

While we sat down and ate breakfast we talked about anything and everything. About another 20 minutes it was time to head down to the training fields to train the warriors.

"Come on babe, it is time to go down to the training field. When we get down there I will take you to a spot that allows you to see what is going on. But you will also be near me. Also at about 5:30am we will meet up with Nathan and Oliver. I will mind link them a little later, because I know they are not awake yet." I explained.

"Okay sounds good." Natalie replied as I took her hand in mine.

I am just hoping she is going to be okay watching the training. I know she has been physically abused, so I do not want her to have a panic attack or anything.

"Are you sure you want to watch the warriors train?" I asked a little concerned.

"I will be fine, if I get too freaked out I will let you know. But I need to study everything that they are doing. That way when I am able to I can join them and not be that far behind." Natalie explained.

"I am proud of you love. Not many people would want to do what you are doing." I said kissing the top of her head before we headed outside the pack house and onto the training field out back.
