Chapter 192
DRAKE: I had just sat down with my food and Alpha Apollo approaches me. “Please forgive the intrusion Alpha, but I want to let you know that I am going to be taking Jessie now, we will not be staying for the dance, we have a long drive: ahead of us and when we get there, we will still have to get her unpacked and settled, and I know my mother will want to start planning her luna ceremony and start teaching her our Pack history.” “Very well Alpha Apollo, I look forward to getting the invitation for her ceremony. I know my mate will be sad that you can’t stay for the dance, but I understand the need to be on the road.” “If there is anything that Jessie might need, or forgets to pack, please just ship it to us, you have our contact information.” “Will do and Thank you for coming.” “Thank you for hosting and please keep us informed about the issue with Stone Claw. I will also ask for a couple of volunteers when we reach home to come back and participate in the communication experiment.” “Thank you, that will be a great help to us all.” He nods his head and leaves to go and get his people in order and take stock of who he has gained and who he has lost, to ensure that the right paperwork gets to the right Alpha’s, and that he get the correct bio info on all of the new people he has coming in. I link my people and tell them to make sure that everyone is out front to see Jessie off in 15-20 minutes. I close the link and finish my meal.
JESSIE: I link Dedi and Marla and see if they want to help me pack. There comes a knock on my door shortly thereafter and they both come in. “It’s going to be very strange not having you two around.” I say as I am folding my clothes to pack them in the boxes. “Yes, and we will all be in different packs going forward.” Dedi says. “I think that more than anything is going to be the hardest thing, the not knowing anyone but your mate.” Marla adds in. “We will all be fine. But I will miss you.” I tell them. “We will miss you to.” We get to work packing my things for the trip south and east. “We probably won’t be able to make it for your Luna ceremony, but please send pictures of you in your dress.” Marla says. “Yes.” Dedi adds. “I will do my best to make sure that I send them your way. We need to make sure to keep up with each other.” I say. And they nod. With the three of us working on my room we get things sorted and packed, the things that I think I will need, versus the things that I may not need. We get all the boxes packed and I link some of the omegas to help get things downstairs, and loaded into the back of the truck, and the SUV. I then go grab my bike and place it sideways over top of the boxes in the back of the truck, to help hold everything down. I wonder if this is what it feels like in the human world when someone leaves for collage? But we are wolves, this is what we do.
LILLY: I get the pack wide link from Drake, and I let out a sigh of relief, finally Jessie is leaving, now maybe Kes can live in peace. I will definitely be there to see her off. It will be good to get things back to somewhat of a normal function around here with her gone.
DRAKE: I get a link from the front gate; my mother is here. WHAT! Goddess not now, why now. I link them to let her in, and I link both my uncle and my mate “Mother is here.” “Why?” I get from both of them. “I don’t have a clue.” I head to the front of the Pack house as mother and father are getting out of the limo. “Mother, Father, what brings you here?” “Well, you didn’t expect that we would just let our girl go without seeing her off, did you?” Mother says to me. “I could hope.” I say. “DRAKE!” My mother scolds. I shake my head at her.
