Return of the Alpha's Daughter

44

“Well Dream after you accept the pack as part of the royal family, then my job as Alpha will be over and I plan on retiring. Your mother and I would like to travel some soon to go back to Greece so she can check on things there. Your Grandparents also would love to retire as well but they haven’t because your mother has not been able to be able to take over there” he answered. “Whoa, nobody said anything to me about you two leaving for Greece to take over that kingdom. That is not fair one bit. I just got the

two of you back and you are already planning to skip country to go run another” I asked getting upset.

“No Dream that is not what we are saying at all. You will not be able to pry us away from you now that we have you back. What I am saying is that we will be going back and forth as needed when she has to take her place on the throne there. She can run things for the most part from here. We are not leaving you honey” he said hugging me and calming my fears of losing them again. I sniffled as my mother walked over and smacked my father in the back of his head. “How dare you upset her like that Lucas. You should be ashamed of yourself” she told him before hugging me too. I couldn’t hep but to giggle at those two the way they carried on with each other. My father just looked at her with his lip poked out and rubbing the back of his head.

My father turned his attention back to Coenelius ”So what is your answer then,” he asked. “Well of course that is a yes. Aerie it seems you are not getting rid of me that easily “ he told her. She squealed happily .”Yay! I’m so glad. Thank you Alpha Lucas for that. It was going to be so difficult leaving today and not knowing when I would see him again. “ She admitted. She hugged her father. “Thank you Dad” she told him.

As we were getting everything together to leave my paradise, Gus, Brian and zade walked over to me smiling. “What are you three up to now?” I asked curiously. They were all looking very mischievous. “Nothing” all three answered at once. This was the tall tale of knowing they were about to try something or another. “Seriously, we got you a gift. That is all” Zade said. This got everyone’s attention as they all stopped to watch and see what those three had gotten for me. Gus and Brian picked up a big

box and brought it over to me.i don’t know how I missed a big wrapped box, but I did. “Very pretty wrapping guys, so I know that you three didn’t do this” I said looking at the wrapping. Those three were better at wrapping themselves up in tape instead of paper on a gift. The three of them looked at Aerie. “We had a little help” Brian said honestly. “A little? I spent more time getting the tape from your hair than I did with the gift. Dream these three idiots decided to wrap each other up with tape. Brian even had bows on his head” Aerie said laughing. Everyone laughed at the thought. “Oh yeah, I know how that goes. Word of advice always hide tape and wrapping paper” I told her taking the box. It was a lot lighter than I thought it would be considering both of them carried it over like it was heavy. I looked up at them curiously as I began to unwrap the gift. As I opened the box I found another box inside of it. I pulled that box out, and again that one was wrapped as well. I looked back at Aerie who all of the sudden was looking at the sky. I unwrapped that box and opened it to find yet again another wrapped box. Everyone started to laugh. “OK guys. How many are there” I asked shaking my head as I got to the fifth box. “That is it” Zade said. Brian and Gus nodded yes agreeing with Zade.

As I opened the last box and looked inside I had to catch myself from screaming. It was one of those creatures from the abyss. A hermit crab. And it had gotten out of the aquarium thing it was supposed to be in because someone had set the aquarium on the top. So here this creature was on top as soon as I opened the box flaps. I looked up at those three and now Nathan was standing with them and they were about to die laughing at me. The hermit crab started climbing out of the box onto my hand and I panicked, dropping the box and shaking my hand like a mad woman. The creature went flying into the air. Gus, trying to be the hero of it went to catch the little monster. When it landed in his hands though it clamped down on Gus’ finger with its claw. Gus screamed like a girl As he shook his hand trying to make the thing let go. Everyone was in tears laughing as my mother walked over calmly and gently picked up that little monster. It immediately let Gus’s finger go. Now my mom had the thing in her hand as she gently placed it back in the aquarium, this time putting the lid on it.
