Chapter 27: Chapter 27~ Naked Damon

Blake’s POV~

I ran. I did not walk, away from the infirmary! That was some scary shit! We worked until after midnight getting the refugees settled. By morning, the second shipment of tents to continue setting up our bivouacs and everyone got straight to work. Trucks have been coming in all morning.. delivering the supplies Alexis had ordered. She is so completely organized, she gad arranged five supply tents set closer to the pack house with four guards for each one 24/7. Stating people are only as honest as they can be and she’s learned trust only goes so far.

Alexis linked 🐺 Baby.. my old Alpha in Tifton called.. asking what is happening.. Could you give him a call? Give him the option to join us possibly? I doubt he will.. but I’d like to know we offered 🐺 Of course… I will explain the situation. But in all honesty, as far south and east he is.. he’s probably safe from the fracas. The king and his goons will be marching towards us from Alaska.. I would assume, anyway. That is where the kingdom lies. 🐺 Do you think Jeremiah will go so far as to risk his crown? Is he that much of a child? 🐺 I don’t know baby. I honestly don’t. I know he took the throne from Loren. He threatened to execute his own grandparents.. his aunt and two uncles.. as well as his seven cousins. Held them in the dungeons, while poisoning his own father.. with the help of The Dowager Queen, his mother.🐺 He is mine! He poisoned my… MINE… father? I will rip his heart out! 🐺 Baby… please.. take deep breaths.. calm down.. the wind is getting bad! I love you! How about you get back here.. and we work on finding your dad and getting him to us, here. And safe? Then, you can hear his story!

Within the hour, Alexis stormed through the door of the conference room, where I sat in a meeting with 14 Alphas.. crawled right into my lap and buried her face in my neck. I linked Damon to hand me a throw from the sofa and covered her completely! I shrugged “She’s processing. Anything that upsets her greatly.. she struggles not to destroy shit.. so this is her way of not burning the world down. Anger is a new emotion for her and she doesn’t know how to categorize it. It’s like excitement.. she gets excited..she poofs.. to anywhere, apparently.. even surprising herself where she winds up. Anger… she has to process without catastrophic consequences. And see? She’s sleeping!”

They all chuckle and Raymond says “It will never be boring.” And we laugh. My phone rings and I hit speaker to answer “Alpha Sterling.. Sterling Moon” The voice responds “Alpha Sterling.. this is Alpha Clay Monroe.. Crescent Moon” I ask him to please hold a minute… and lift my angel in my arms “Excuse me, gentlemen. I have to take this in my office. He is Alexis’ old Alpha.”

Seated in my office.. Alexis snuggled into me, half awake.. I hit the speaker “ Sorry for the delay, Clay.. had to move somewhere quieter. 15 Alphas in the house it’s a challenge.” He chuckles “I can only imagine… and that’s all I want to do! My pack will not be joining you. At least, not yet. But that isn’t my only reason for calling. Is Alexis available, by chance?” And I nudge her a little more awake “I’m here.. I’m not sleeping.. Who? What’s going on?” and we both her a loud gasp on the other end of the line… She looks puzzled.. then worried “Clay? What is it? Is Margie okay? Tyler?” I hear him chuckle “Everyone is fine, Lex! Missing you like crazy! I still have to read “Where the Wild Things Roam” every night… Three times every night.. before Ty settles down “ and she giggles.. my mate’s giggle is like the songs of angels… it can calm the wildest of beasts.

Another voice sounds from the line “Alexis? Alexis… such a beautiful name! You don’t know who I am.. my name is Loren Santi…” “DAD? Is that you? Are you okay? Please tell me you’re okay! Dad? Can you hear me?” And all we could hear were sobs. A grown man.. no longer in control of his emotions.. he cried into the phone “I am okay.. now… baby girl.. I am better than okay. Better than I have been in 19 years! Charles and I will board my plane in an hour! I have to see you.. please say I can come to Sterling Moon!” We laugh and I say “Your wheels aren’t in the air yet? You are the only member of the monarchy allowed here, sire!” He laughed “ Wheels up as soon as I board! I’m coming, my daughter! I will see you soon!”

And my beautiful mate…eeeeeep…. is gone! And Damon screams “Get the fuck out of my room! I’m naked! Good Goddess!” And I laugh even harder! Well… there goes the privacy aspect of our lives! She appears in front of me and crawls back into my lap… her tiny body burning with embarrassment! I love this woman!! So so much!

Cody and Matthew stumble through the door laughing so hard, they have to lean on each other! Damon follows grumbling “Yuk it up fuckers! I’m sure I will find it as funny when it happens to you!” Matthew asks “where’s Luna?” And I lift the blanket an inch to show the top of her head.

I ordered the old Alpha’s quarters cleaned and readied. Alexis and I met with the Alphas to let them know King Loren would be here in about 3 hours. And my little mate was practically vibrating in her excitement and I have warned the entire pack house to not be alarmed if their Luna pops in unexpectedly. And, pointedly, told the chef to not smack her with a roast again! It’s becoming quite a joke now.. and everyone is starting to enjoy it. She laughs at herself.. and that sets everyone at ease. It seems when Our Luna is happy… there is incomparable peace in our home!

Everyone enjoyed a hearty lunch and we all went back to work. The Alphas are all out at their assigned bivouacs.. making sure everyone is settling in. Alexis and Helena have checked and double checked the power and water is up and running. Magic! It’s a beautiful thing! The wards are all set and activated. No one can enter without express invitation and it would take several powerful witches to break it. If they could even get a signature on the spells they’ve set!

The alert from the border came in our guests were arriving. We made it back to the pack house and were standing on the front steps
