Fates Hands

Chapter 60

Adira and little Alex was sitting by the pack Christmas tree, in the Luna room. Elder pack members

were around her while the young pups played with their new toys.

It was Christmas Eve, for dinner everyone had pizza and snacks. The kitchen was far too busy

preparing for the huge feast, they will have Christmas Day. (2)

The pack tree was different from other personal trees, it had all twinkle lights and a star at the top.

However it’s garland was made by all the packs pups. There was a train under it going round and

round.

Each pack family also made an ornament to hang on the tree. The rest of the ornaments were old

rest of the Luna room was twinkle lights from the ceiling, holly around the hearth and evergreen

garlands.

It looked old fashioned, warm and welcoming. The two Luna’s made Christmas cookies, with all the

packs pups for the Chirstmas Eve party. There was also a huge bonfire in the pack square, this was for

all the pack as well.

playing with the children, making sure all were happy. While the males of the pack hung around the

snack table. 2

It was a peaceful and happy Chirstmas Eve. Tomorrow there will be a feast and then the Christmas

Ball. Adira was like a kid in a candy store, all of this was new to her. She

made sure she enjoyed every minute of it. While Duncan watched over them with a happy smile.

Felicia was not a happy female at all, she was allowed to take a ten minute shower with luke warm

water. Then she was given another grey jogging outfit to wear, her hair was covered by a grey

bandana.

She sat in her assigned room, it was grey as well. It had a small cot in the corner with a plastic milk

crate for an end table. The cot didn’t have any sheets just a wool blanket and a pillow.

The floor was just dirt, cold damp dirt. It did bring a little contrast to the room though.

There were no windows only a light hanging from the ceiling. There was a

small shelf on the wall, it was empty except for a couple of small booklets on manners and protocals for

meeting new people, what to expect when visiting other were’ packs. 2

There was a small room off from hers, she assumed it was the bathroom only because it had nothing

but a bucket in the corner with a lid and beside it was a cheap roll of toilet paper.

There was a shelf on the wall in this room as well, it had a bottle of hand sanitizer on it. That was it, so

this was going to be her life for the next week or two.

There was a tray of food on the milk crate, it was two slices of cold pizza and a christmas cookie, with a

small glass of milk to wash it down.

She was told that for her christmas present this vean was that she will

not be working till the day after christmas, she will be working on the clean up crew.

It was Christmas Eve she should be out with all her friends, dancing at all the best parties. She had a

special gown made, just for the holiday. Now she is sitting in grey, doing nothing at all. Feeling sorry for

herself, she laid down on the cot to cry out her angry tears.

What does it matter anyway really, it’s not like any of them were real friends. It wasn’t like her mother or

father really cared about how she felt. Even her Lion is pissed at her, for forcing her to attack the

shewolf.

Seriously what was there for her back at the Pride. Nothing, nothing at all. Perhaps she will just take off

for awhile and just be herself.

The King decided that he was going to go to Storm Crow pack this year for Christmas, a surprise to all

in the court. He decided that things needed to cool down a bit, so he cancelled the Christmas festivities

for the crown.

Instead he loaded up an suv with all the presents for his Godson, Alpha and Luna. As well as a present

for each young pup in their pack. He was going to play Santa this year.

Lily was both excited and nervous about going, it was time that her and Adira had a long talk. She

wanted to see her nephew too. It wasn’t right what happened to them. That didn’t mean though that

they had to continue on the same way.

It was time they both lead the lives they were meant to lead. The past is in the past and there it will

stay.

She too bought a gift for Adira, something special. As for little Alex she didn’t really bother, her mate

pretty much bought everything he could find. There was nothing left for her to buy him.

They went out to their motorcade and were off into the snow and wind. The King held Lily’s hand in

comfort and encouragement. She laid her head on his lap and decided to take a nap. She always hated

long car rides. (2)

They would arrive there at around three in the morning, she wanted Callan {aka the King} to call ahead

and give them some kind of warning, especially since they would arrive so early in the morning. He

assured her that it will be ok.

Duncan and Adira were in their room

for the night, they checked on all the preprations for the next day.

“Duncan, have you heard from the King lately?”

“No, I haven’t actually, I suppose he is still getting things straightend out. Also with all the holiday dinner

parties and balls. Diplomats trying to gain his favor, I didn’t really expect to hear anything from him.”

“I don’t know Duncan, maybe it is my Luna intuition or something, I just feel that he might be coming

here for Christmas. I had some extra rooms made up and I had another cabin freshend up, just in

case.”

“Little wolf that is fine, if he show’s up we have the room, if he doesn’t then there is no harm done.”

One of the best things for a female werewolf, is that her body heals fast.

So no bleeding and all the weight that she gained was now all gone. She was happy because the gown

she chose was going to knock Duncan’s socks off. She had been very secretive about it.

For some reason, he asked if he could make one request about the gown. His request was that the

gown would be a deep blue color. Adira wondered why but decided not to say anything.

Checking on little Alex in his homemade cradle, Duncan got into bed. They were both exhausted,

between little Alex and all the prep for the parties they were both ready for bed.

Jack Dawson was not much for the holidays, sure he enjoyed watching all the cubs having fun. Heck

he even plaved Santa one vear He just felt

alone sometimes during this time of year. Though he is always busy with clan business and arranging

the big holiday celebration and parties.

He just felt alone, he needed his mate. He had all but given up on that pipe dream though. She would

have to be rather unique, in order to live with him for the rest of her life.

He tried to picture her in his mind, as always though it was just a fuzzy out of focus picture. The snow

all around him was twinkling with the moon light. He walked through it with unseeing eyes. As he

walked the grounds on patrol.

His bear Brutus, was also feeling a litte down. He was more positive about the whole finding your mate

thing. He was starting to lose hope as well, they both decided to let it go and see what happens. Just

continue

on with clan life as usual. 2

He might though after the holiday season, go on a walk about. Single male bears tend to get restless,

when staying around others. So once in awhile they go on what is called a walk about, you go off into

the woods to be just yourself and your bear.

Jack always found it to be relaxing, nothing but you and nature. There are several what they call hidey

holes for the males, they contain some supplies for camping along with some canned goods for food. It

usually depended on the time of year, as to what was in them.

Jack had his own private ones that he used, especially on rainy days. Burtus doesn’t like getting rained

on, he will swim and play in the lakes and rivers but he doesn’t like rain. He never bothered to ask why,

though. Burtus

He decided that it was time to stop and go play with all the clan’s cubs. Join in on the party in the main

room. It was all decked out in holiday fashion, the cook, holy crap can she make the best holiday

dinners, Ham’s and Turkey with all the sides, deserts all over the place.

He was especialy fond of her lemon and honey cakes, she always baked him one. It was always just

for him to have. She would get mad if she caught him sharing it. He chuckled at that thought and turned

his way to home.

It’s Christmas after all.
