Chapter 9
Kain, reached into the back end of the jeep and grabbed out his pack, he threw it hard enough at Galen’s chest to get an ‘oomph‘ out of him. Serenity smiled, thinking it had been the perfect way to shut him up.
Alora, seeing their antics was amused. Serenity was actually six months younger than Kain and Galen, who were twins. Kain and Galen were born in the winter, and Serenity just six months after.
Werewolf pregnancies were a lot shorter than human pregnancies, they were only five to six months long. Depending on how many pups you were pregnant with. Not only were they short, but it also took a lot to cause a miscarriage. Most females were able to train and fight well into their fourth month. With light exercise being acceptable all the way up to delivery.
Darien was staring transfixed in Serenity’s direction, as if hypnotized. They were downwind of where Serenity and her brothers were standing. A slightly warm breeze was blowing Serenity’s scent straight to Darien.
Alora could not help thinking. ‘Oh, she is definitely his mate.‘
Axel was rolling around inside Darien, reveling in Serenity’s scent. “She smells so good” He crooned, nearly purring, as much as a wolf could purr. “I want to find out if she tastes as good as she smells.”
Darien was immediately turned on by the image of tasting Serenity. He couldn’t tear his gaze away from her. Serenity wasn’t
moving towards them, she wasn’t even looking in their direction.
“She hasn’t looked our way at all yet.” Darien told his wolf, starting to feel nervous again, the fear of possibly being rejected made
it difficult for him to breathe.

“She hasn’t scented us yet.” Axel said, trying to reassure his humanoid. Axel knew she was interested in them, he’d felt her staring at them when Darien wasn’t looking for weeks now.
Alora watched Darien freak out internally and start to speak to his wolf. “He’s actually terrified of being rejected.” Alora said to
Xena.
“He shouldn’t, that female has had a crush on Brother for a while now.” Xena said, amusement in her tone.
“You’re always calling him brother, what’s up with that?” Alora asked Xena.

Xena had been calling Darien Brother for years, but not Damien, never Damien. “Because he feels like a brother, and Axel asked me to call him Brother.” Xena replied. “He whined something awful till I did.”
Alora chuckled but did not say anything, almost wishing she had not asked. Alora was afraid she would voice the question, buried in the depths of her heart, aloud to her wolf if she continued talking about this.
Galen looked over and caught the look on Darien’s face, it was equal parts hopeful and fearful, and his eyes were glued to Serenity “Well, looks like we’ll be related to the Alpha of the Pack soon” He mind linked Kain.
“You just now figured that out?” Kain asked, his tone rife with sarcasm.
Kain had grabbed his pack out of the jeep and slung it over one shoulder. Grabbing Serenity’s, he makes eye contact with her and tosses it in her direction. He was fully expecting her to catch it, but that’s not what happened, because the wind chose that moment
to change directions.

Serenity’s eyes were wide, she was frozen in place. Her tossed pack landed at her feet on the ground. The bag was ignored, and Serenity started to slowly turn in the direction of the delicious scent that had her wolf rolling around inside her.

Serenity started to freak out, even before looking to confirm, she new who her mate was. “It’s him, it’s really him, he’s our mate!”

“He smells delicious, I want to find out if he’s as warm as his scent smells.” Rose said, no help at all.

Serenity finished turning around, staring at Darien. “What do I do!” She asked, her voice filled with her panic. “Do I just walk over there, do I stay here and wait?!”
Darien saw her react to their scent, watched her recognize him as her mate, but she didn’t say anything, she stood there
completely still. “Goddess, why isn’t she saying anything, is she disappointed, is she going to reject us?” He asked frantically.
Alora was looking back and forth between these two, seeing the far and longing in their eyes. “Looks like Brother is going to need a push in the right direction.” Xena commented.
