Chapter 33

Picking a house

Sh'lera's POV

I was humming to myself while the kids were at school. I know Adam is really upset about all the drama and I thought I would surprise him with a lunch picnic out in the forest and bring up houses. 

I pulled my hair up in a high pony tail and pulled the pony tail a little bit through the loop. I let hang their while I grabbed the remaining hair and twirled it around my finger before wrapping it around the bun on top of my head. 

Then I sprayed it down with hairspray and called it a day, I went out to see my husband.

"Get out of my office," I heard down the hall I saw Eli storm out the room slamming the door behind him and stalking past me as if out for blood. I pressed myself against the wall just to stay out of his way, I was covered by a random woman. “You’re safe now Luna, good luck with the baby.” She winked and walked off.

See it was things like that I loved about the pack, gave me confidence about having this baby. Anyway back on the subject of my handsome husband. Honestly I don't even think he saw me, I waited a second before even going down to the door. 

I went on knocking on the door. "Sh'lera come in," Oh he sounds stressed. "Are you okay?" I asked opening the door. He nods without looking at me.

"Well I just wanted to know because really I saw Eli-"

"Who was being an asshole," I kept silent, I didn't want to get into it with him. And I really didn't want to listen to it anymore. I came over here for a reason; we were going to have a peaceful lunch.

"Well I got great news!" I said clapping, "What is it?"

"We're going out for lunch; I don't think I can handle another take out. We're leaving and there's some things we need to talk about?"

"Mates?" He asks with a horrified face, "What?" I asked for him to repeat. He coughs awkwardly and shakes his head.

"Nothing, nothing at all, let’s go." He said standing up rather quickly and taking my hand and leading me out of the office. I laughed at his side, he was beyond cute sometimes. But I was taken back by how odd he was behaving.

We brush past Violet only to walk back to her; Adam still had my hand and now wanted the basket. "I don't want my beautiful wife carrying anything besides that kid," He winks at me before bringing his attention to Violet.

"Violet give the pack a message, we get back to business. I want our defenses stronger than ever. I know I let some things slide lately but no more. We begin training." And with that Violet leaves and we're off as well.

"Adam what's wrong with you? Why are you acting like this?" I asked once we were outside walking at a normal pace rather than all fast. "Well Eli was pressuring me about mates, and thinks us being together is a good thing."

"Well it's none of his business what he thinks, we're happy screw everyone else!" I stammered upset some because he wanna be so quiet and peaceful coming from a damn cave underground but yet wanna dog somebody.

"I mean who the hell does something like that?" I muttered to myself, "I mean Sh'lera I can see where he's coming from-"

"The hell you can!" I said stopping dead in my tracks making him trip forward. "Sh'lera baby come on,"

"Don't you try and Sh'lera baby me! What else did he say?" I questioned putting my hands on my hips and glaring at him. "He was asking all these questions and-" I put my hand up and grit my teeth.

"Fine if you don't want to tell me you don't have to, I'll find out myself...After we eat something." I growl and snatch the basket away.

"Sh'lera I think it's your hormones," I heard him in the background; I swear if he kept talking I would've ripped his head off. I ignored him and knew he was right; I was moody in this pregnancy unlike my first one when I was trying to survive. I guess I'm getting the full experience.

I didn't stop until we were in a clearing far from the plaza, I watched Adam put the blanket down before helping me sit down and I opened up the basket, and I broke out in smiles when I saw the turkey sandwich. 

"Oh I remember giving you one of these when you had that meeting," I giggled and Adam cracked a smile, "I remember," 

We went on about eating before I remembered why I was here in the first place besides spending some alone time with my husband that was a given. "Adam I want to move...into a house." 

"Okay," He swallowed, "You're okay with that?" I asked, he gives me a toothy smile,

"I'm fine with it because I would love a little place away from everything, like the apartment rooms were fine it was just that your room wasn't enough and my room wasn't enough and to have two and the kids going back and forth wasn't helping. And with this new addition soon to entering our lives, we need a place to be, as a family." 

"Okay glad you said something because I've been looking at houses, apartments, cottages, for months and I think you should take a look at all my choices." He stops smiling for a second, 

"Sh'lera I just remembered that we can't move," 

My heart sank, "What do you mean?" 

"I mean in the pack's Constitution we can't move into a cottage unless we're of a higher meaning," 

"Like what?" 

"Having a certain amount of family members." 

"How many do you need?" 

"The number doesn't matter it's that if we move into one of these cottages it's forever we don't get to move again, Sh'lera what I'm trying to tell you is that if anything happens to this baby. We can't move in," 

"Who put that law down?" 

"Charles," 

"Why!" 

"He thought that too many people were using the cottages for sex, baby making, when that's all good and fine but use a hotel he thought and made the law that if you want a cottage have a family and stay there." 

"What a-" 

"Asshole," He answered for me, "You know that’s right!" I laughed, and quieted down to think about it. 

So now we can't move ever again if we move at all? Well damn this house, place, whatever better be the perfect damn house. Somewhere I can die in! 

"You know that's right!" Lola agreed, Which I found odd but then looked beyond and saw a sandy trail.
