The alpha's defiant mate

ALEXIS GETTING TIME TO HERSELF BEFORE THE MOVE

Last night after the barbecue everyone left for the Mountain of the Moon pack. The only people that

stayed behind with me was April, her mom, Emile, and her dad Raphael. I decided to take a little longer

at home before taking off and moving. I really miss my parents and remember all the good times. My

mom and I used to always garden together. I went out in the backyard and started gardening like my

mom and I always used to do.

We always have herbs planted, fruits, vegetables, and flowers out front. I'm really going to miss

spending this extra special time with my mom. When we were gardening is when my mom and I used

to have our long conversations about things that happened every day and about the future. She even

taught me what would happen when I found my faded mate when we were gardening. I have always

looked forward to finding my faded mate. the way mom made it sound; nothing could ever compare to

the love between two people who are faded mates. I still remember the way my mom and dad used to

look into each other's eyes and the way they would steal time together away from everyone else.

I spent as much time as possible as I could at home. After dinner I really wanted to go for a long run. I

had already asked April to come with me. Her parents agreed and decided to come with us since it has

been a while since we've all been able to go running together. April, Emile, and I decided to make

dinner together tonight. Since everything that has happened, we have not had a nice quiet dinner for

some time. I really wanted ribs for dinner so that was my part of cooking dinner and April and her mom

made the rest of dinner. At least it taste to my dad's homemade rib rub will never be forgotten. I

memorized that recipe years ago and I'm proud of the ribs I made.

We all sat down for dinner and had a nice meal. It was like it used to be when my parents were still

alive. My parents always believed that dinner was family time and I will always remember that for the

future. When I have my own children, I will carry on the tradition of family always eating dinner together

for family time. Dinner time is when everyone in the family gets together and we get to catch up on

everything that has happened during the day. Everything that my parents did always had a reason

behind them because they wanted to keep a close knit family and always keep open communication

between us. After we were done eating, we cleaned up. It is finally time for us all to be able to take a

nice long run, and we'll form.

We all went outside so we could change into our Wolf forms. First, Shakira came out in her full beautiful

white Glory and I stood there waiting for April's wolf, Willow. Willow is a beautiful Sandy brown color

and stands a little smaller than me. April's mom's wolf, Giselle was a glorious golden blonde color just

like her hair in human form. April's dad's wolf, Atticus, was a great gray wolf and stood taller than the

rest of us. We started off to the North direction towards the woods. It felt so wondrous being able to run

in form and feel the breeze through my hair. I've always loved the feeling of the wind blowing through

my hair when I run as fast as I could through the woods.

Once we were done with our run, we all went into the house and decided to have a wonderful evening

together watching movies and finish getting ready to move to the Mountain of the Moon pack together

tomorrow. I think if I have April and her family, I will be able to fight the world. They have become my

family over the years since I have grown up with them in my life. Once we got back to the house I went

to my room and decided to take a shower and get ready for movie night. After showering I got dressed

in my pajamas and went downstairs to the kitchen. I made up two big bowls of popcorn and one of

them I even made with caramel in it. The plan is for us to have a relaxing evening and then we will get

ready tomorrow to leave for the pack. We have decided to leave after lunch tomorrow to move to the

Mountain of the Moon pack.

We decided on watching a movie named "Twilight." A movie about werewolves and vampires and how

they interact with each other but, the truth is that it is fantasy and does not really work the way it does

in the movie. April and I have always loved watching movies like these because they gave us things to

dream about and hope for. tonight, the movie seem to last longer than usual because I was tired after

the full day I had had. Once a movie was finished, I decided to turn in so I can wake up early and get

things ready for our move tomorrow. I plan to take some of the plants and herbs that my mom and I had

grown with us so I could plant them when I got to the mountain of the Moon pack.

Once I woke up the next morning I showered and got dressed for the day. I went to the backyard and

started getting plants ready to go with me. Once I got the plants and herbs ready to go, I took the boxes

to the van that we were planning to take to the pack with us. All of us made sure our stuff was packed

and ready to be put in the van so we could get on the road. We wanted to make sure we got there

before dark and that's why we were leaving after lunch. We all piled into the van and got situated for

the trip.

Once we made it to the Mountain of the Moon pack, I requested to speak with Axel, Roman, Nico, and

Leo. Once I showed up at the gates we were invited in and taken to our separate houses. April and her

parents moved into a house together and I was shown to a nice little house in the back of most of the

other houses. I had requested beforehand to live alone in a house out of the way. I chose to stay in my

house for dinner instead of going to the pack house for dinner. I will go out to the pack house tomorrow

and meet everyone.
