“Hi, James. Yes, you guys should have been calling me Mrs. Blackwood by now. I was going to wait to change it officially on my door for next year. But I guess now is just as good a time as any.”
“Yay! I’m glad you are our Alpha’s wife. My mom and dad are too. They were afraid that nasty Sheila woman would be the new Luna.” James shivered at his statement.
“Thank you, James. I appreciate that vote of confidence.” Athena laughed, leading James to his seat while she waited for the rest of the class to come in.
She’ll have to ask Dana who this Sheila chick is. She doesn’t remember one that had her eyes on the family before, but one never truly knows.
The day went by fast as she got the kids through their tests that were required before the end of the year. It was hard to believe that summer break was approaching fast.
She had two more months of teaching these kids before they moved on to the next grade. Teaching was all she had thought about doing and wanted to do.
Now, she was the Luna of the Blackwood Pack, wife to the Alpha. She didn’t know the first thing about dealing with adults.
Give her kids any day of the week and she could handle any crisis there was. Adults, that was a totally different story.
On the drive home, she and Dana were laughing at that very statement. Dana just shook her head and told her she was being silly.
“Seriously, adults, especially the Karens and Chads of society are nothing but big children whose parents never told them no. Just look at them like that.” Dana laughed as she looked over at her quickly.
“Well, I didn’t think of it like that. I guess you’re right,” Athena admitted as she shook her head at her own thoughts. “Um, I do I have a question for you. One of the kids had mentioned someone named Sheila who had been sort of chasing Draco. Do I have anything to worry about?”
“Fuck no! One, you’re true fated mates. He couldn’t stomach being with another woman, much less have one of them touching him. I know because the one and only time I know she put her hand on his arm when she did her flirting thing, he looked at her with hatred in his eyes and told her she didn’t have permission to be touching him much less in his space. He’s not even looked at another woman.” Dana laughed at the memory.
“Who is she?” Athena asked in curiosity. “I don’t remember a Sheila being introduced to me recently.”
“She hasn’t been. She’s the new pack attorney since the other one passed away about a month or so ago from a nasty car accident when he went to visit his daughter in Vermont. They said it was a drunk driver.”
“So right after Draco and I were married?”
“Yeah.”
“Draco still at the office or is he doing his Alpha rounds?” Athena smirked over at Dana for the word she had used for Draco going out and checking the territory.
“Why don’t you ask him? You have that mind talk capability,” Dana reminded her, shaking her head.
“Are you still at the office or doing your Alpha rounds?”Athena asked, glaring at Dana for not helping her.
“Mmm I do love hearing your voice when I’m dealing with idiots. I’m in the office, unfortunately. How was your day, little one?”
“I’m not going to be little for long. Once our little one starts growing, you’ll need a wheelbarrow to push me around in. But my day was good. Little James asked me today about calling me Mrs. Blackwood. I am ashamed to admit I hadn’t even thought about that at school. I am an awful wife.”Athena blushed as she admitted that to him.
“Guess I’ll have to spank you later for that mishap.”
“Promises, promises, Mr. Blackwood. Too bad you have a meeting to attend. I was thinking of having Dana bring me by the office. I kind of have a fantasy of being on my knees under your desk, my mouth on you while you are conducting said meeting. But if they are already in there, well that fantasy would be a moot point.”Athena couldn’t help the smirk that came across her lips.
“I don’t know what the hell you just said to him, but I’m being ordered to bring you to the office, now,” Dana said, her voice slightly shaking.
“Sorry. I’ll make him apologize for scaring you like that.”
Athena couldn’t help the smile that played on her face, now that she knew the mind talk really worked, they could have some fun. Although, she probably might have to rethink that since he could be just as evil with his thoughts as she was.
Chapter
Twenty-Eight
Draco lookedup when Athena knocked on his open door. His eyes went dark and heavy at her scent.
Ever since her comment about her fantasy, he couldn’t get it out of his mind. Even his wolf was having a hard time maintaining his control.
