Chapter 106 Chapter 106 Kennedy It isnt until I get to my room that it hits me . My entire life is about to change : Sweetheart , are you okay with this ? You can say no . You dont even have to accept Alpha Quirin as your mate , although , Im pretty sure that you are happy about being mated to him , my mother says , coming to stand in front of me . Ive always loved him , mother , I say . Ive watched you watch him all your life . You have ? kind of a mother would I be if I see what others dont , but I dont see my own What kind of a doctor would I be ? Wha children . You have always been very dedicated and very driven , Kennedy . You knew from a very early age that you wanted to be a doctor and youve never wavered from that . You knew from very early age that you wanted Alpha Quirin , and youve never wavered from that either . Hes a tough nut to crack , but if ever there was a nutcracker in this family , its you , Kennedy , she says , making me laugh . I feel tears pricking my eyes . Youll have a hard road in front of you . But if you want this , if you really want this , then I know youll prevail . MY daughter doesnt fail . She knows what she wants and she goes for it , no matter how hard the road gets , no matter how long it takes , no matter how much effort she has to put in . She will prevail . So , Ill ask you again . Is this what you want , Kennedy ? Yes . Yes , hes what I want . Alpha Harold said that his pack is very different than ours , but… Quirin is very different than father . Yes , he is . I know youve seen it in him . Ive seen it too on rare occasions , but there is a softer side to Alpha Quirin . Find that side of him . Make him be that person with you . If you can do that , if he can do that , then I think that the two of you can be happy . Thanks , Mom . She pulls back but doesnt let me go . If at any time things get too rough , you change your mind for any reason … I wont . I know , but I have to say this anyway . Its what your father wanted to say to you before . You always have a father will always keep you safe , even if it means going against Alpha Quirin . Theres enough animosity between them , Mother . I would never do that , not to Dad or Quirin . Just know , if you ever need us , well be here for you . place here . Your Okay . Now come on , before Quirin decides we need to leave and I have nothing packed . You know how he hates these types of events . I do , she says , turning to grab my suitcase . I also know that hes never missed one where you were the person being celebrated , she says . Hes never missed any, I say distractedly as I look around trying to decide what I want to take with me and beginning to put things in my own small suitcase . Kennedy , how many of your sisters and brothers birthday parties has Alpha Quirin attended ? I frown . He was invited to those ? Chapter 106 Every one of them . Just like he was always invited to yours and Connors I just assumed he was invited to ours because of Connor being the Alpha heir . She shakes her head . He was invited to all of them . But yours at the only ones lie ever attended , and I dont think its because he was trying to create a bond with Connor . I think about that , feeling something warm blossom inside me . Maybe Quirin felt the same pull to me that I felt to him . I know Im much younger than he is , but maybe …. Kennedy , theres something else I want to disctiss with you , my mother says .. 1 turn and look at her . Tonight , Alpha Quirin will make you his . Its a wonderful time , sometimes . Youve been in the hospital long enough that youve heard of women who said their first time was good and others who said it was horribly painful . I dont know what Alpha Quirins experience is with women … I know hes been with other women , I interrupt . But how many of those women were virgins , Kennedy ? she ask patiently , and I blush . I dont know what Alpha Harold and Luna Farrah have told him about a womans first time and I cant see Alpha Quirin being comfortable enough to sit through that conversation . So you need to be prepared to make him slow down , take his time with you , so that you dont tear too badly . If he takes his time , the pain isnt too bad , and the pleasure makes it worth it . Dont be surprised if you bleed even the first couple of times , thats normal . Just try to talk to him first . Try to get him to take it slow the first couple of times . Once your body adjusts and the two of you find what the other likes , it will get better . e Your mate is getting antsy , Ken , my brothers says in my head . I need to go , Mother . The I know , she says , pushing my folded clothes down into the suitcase . Im going to miss you . I dont know what Ill do everyday without you in the hospital with me , she says , and I hear her voice catch . Im going to miss you , too , I say , feeling the tears burning my eyes again . She opens her arms and I rush into them . you hear me ? she says fiercely . You be the best friggin doctor any pack has ever seen ! Do I nod . Ive had the best role model in the world ! And when you start taking classes , make sure your on sites are here . I want to see how youre progressing . Okay , I say , hugging her tightly . ララ We grab my suitcases , one for clothes and one for toiletries and I take a final look around the room . Id packed a picture of my family and one that I had from a birthday party years ago that had Quirin in it , That picture had been in pride of place on my dresser for years . When we get downstairs , my brothers and sisters , father , and Quirin are waiting for me . Im not sure if my father told the others to continue with the party , or if they just didnt realize that I was leaving . Thats okay , now that Ive found my mate , the Alphas in the room will be looking for their next possible Luna . My sister , Wendy , should be thrilled . Shes the next oldest Alpha female and will be getting a lot of attention the rest of the evening . As we step off the last stair , my father and Quirin step forward to take the suitcase out of my hand . I watch my father grit his teeth but step back , acknowledging that Quirin , as my mate , is now responsible for taking care of me . 10:49 vrea , Jan TO Chapter 106 I go around and hug my sisters and brothers , saving Connor for ast . You know you always have a home here , Ken , he says in the mind link . Thank you . Ill see you next week . My father hugs me tightly , much longer than normal , almost as hes afraid to let me go . I love you , he says . I love you , too . Are you ready ? Quirin asks me . We walk out to my car . What about your car ? I ask him . Henry drove , so I dont have a car , he says , putting my suitcases in the trunk as I open my door . I feel the heat of his body at my back as I look at my family once more . Alpha Quirin , Im trusting you to take care of my daughter , my mother says . If he wasnt standing so close , Im not sure Id have noticed the shift in my mate . I know that if those words had come from my father , they would have made Quirin angry . But from my mother … Ill take care of her , Luna . He says it with absolute sincerity , and I see my father and brother relax . I turn and look up at the man that will be wearing my mark later tonight . Well take care of each other . I wave one last time and then get into the passenger seat of my car . Quirin gets into the drivers side , and we pull away fro the packhouse and my family , the only home Ive ever known . I take a deep breath and look at the road ahead . No matter what comes my way , I know I can handle it . After her grandfather's death, she unexpectedly discovers that both her sister and boyfriend betrayed her, taking away the family fortune left by her grandfather. Determined to seek revenge, she decid...
