Chapter 62 

The King aka Santa Claus deliverd presents to all the children in the two orphanges, that had taken in the human survivors of the scientists. 

All of the children got a present, the orphanage‘s got a huge donation, not only in money but in needed items. As well as contractors were coming after Christmas to fix and upgrade all of their electric, water and sewer systems. Also to add on additonal rooms as well. 2 

Then when he was finished he went back to Duncan‘s pack house, just like cinderella and her pumpkin everything changed back into only the King. The Kind decided he was going to make that a tradition every Christmas, unless of course the real Santa showed up and was not happy. 

 

Lily was waiting for him, she was nothing but glowing smiles these days. A change he was happy to be part of. He could tell that she was still a little nervous, about seeing her sister again. He put his arm around her and pulled her in for a quick kiss. 

“Let‘s go and get some breakfast, the sun is now up and I am not only needing a nap but I am starving. Playing Santa Claus for the night, was very rewarding and exhausting at the same time.” 

They went into the pack house, breakfast was in the huge pack dining area, it was served buffet style today. They were not lacking in anything for breakfast today. They even had a make your own waffle station. 

The King loaded up on almost everything, when he sat down with 

Lily and a few of his guards, he was happy to note that although everyone knew who he was, they didn‘t pay him that much attention. It was refreshing to be just one of the pack again. 

Marnie was up and getting ready to go down to breakfast, when her bedroom door opened up. There was Ash holding a really big tray, filled with anything and everything. Most important though, he also had on the tray, a carafe of coffee with two mugs. 

“Good you are not dressed yet, why don‘t you climb back into bed and we will have breakfast in bed.” 

She didn‘t get into bed though, instead she went over and sat on the couch by the windows. She patted the spot next to her with a half sleepy smile He took the tray and sat it

Picking her up and then sitting on the couch, putting her on his lap. She giggled at that, he poured them each a cup of coffee, two creams and a sugar. Just the way she liked it. Once they had some coffee, Ash began picking things off of the tray to feed her. 

She would let her lips linger on his fingers, she loved the cinnamon roll it was so sticky. She would suck on his fingers when her brought her some. She would look into his eyes and see them grow darker with passion. She loved to tease him. 

Everytime see would see that look on his face, she would tingle all over and she would also be affected by it as well. It was a wonderful Christmas morning. B 

 

Gulum 

She couldn‘t wait to give him his present, later on after the ball. The whole Santa Claus showing up, was something she still hadn‘t given much thought, sometimes it is best to just go with it. She was mystified though when she opened her present. 

It was a little raggedy ann doll, she had when she was little, she had lost it in the forest when she was six years old. How did he know? She guessed it was like the magician, showing his secrets would lessen the magic. 

Though the road has been a bit rough lately, Marnie was happy that it was turning out to be a really great Christmas. She couldn‘t wait to wear her new gown, it was super sexy in a really great way. It was cherry red silk that hung in all the right places to show off her assets. 

She was going to blow Ash‘s mind. 

Adira was waking up to Duncan singing softly to his son. It was one of those moments in time, that will stay till you die. She lay there watching them together, he was still too little to do much, when you looked into his eyes, you could tell he was taking it all in. 

When he noticed that she was awake and watching him, he grinned from ear to ear. Bringing little Alex over to her so she could give him his breakfast. Now it was Duncan‘s turn to watch and take memory. 

He waited for his mate to be finished with their pup, once he was sleeping once again, Duncan reached into his top drawer and pulled out a long box and a square flat box. He wrapped them in gold paper and bows. 

“This my little wolf is for you, Merry Christmas.” 

She opened the first box, it was a necklace and matching earings of diamonds and saphires. They were gorgeous. The smaller long box was next in it was the matching bracelet to the set. She was dumbfounded. They were gorgeous. 

Duncan was a little worried because she had gone so quiet. Then she started to cry. She jumped from her spot on the bed, straight into his arms. Duncan they are simply the most wonderful and beautiful jewels I have ever seen, they make me feel like a queen. 

“He chuckled in relief, they are the pack‘s, Luna gems. They have been worn by my great grandmother, grandmother and my mother. Now they belong to you. Someday if we have a daughter, then they will go on to her.” (10

. 

“That is why you wanted to pick the color of my ball gown for tonight, so that I could wear these.” 

“Duncan, I didn‘t have time to go shopping for you though, what could I give you that would equal this?” 

“My sweet little Wolf, you already have given me my present, something that can not be compared or equaled to. You gave me your trust, your love and finally you gave me our first pup. No jewels can compare to that.” 

He pulled her in for a long passionate kiss, she could tell he was going to want a lot more. It was unfortunatly going to have to wait till later after the ball. 

She pulled back with a smile that held promise, then she started to back away. 

“We can not go any further than that 

 

1. l. for now, there are just too many things left to do and now the King is also here. Not to mention the neighboring packs.” 

They invited the Werebear clan but they declined, they wanted to have a clan only celebration instead because of all the victims they took in. Give them something happy but a bit less chaos and people. 

So we have to get a move on, Sally their sitter/nanny will be watching little Alex tonight, along with her little sister. She will also be with several of the packs babysitters as they all watch over the pup‘s tonight, the ball is only for the adults. 2

Lily was beautiful, she was wearing a light golden dress her hair was up with little white jewel lillies sparkeling in her hair. She looked regal. 

Next was Marnie and Ashton, Ash was wearing a simular tux to all the other men, Marnie on the other hand surprised Marco, she was in a silky red dress, he hair was done up beautifuly with little rubies in her hair. It was truely the first time he had ever seen her in a dress. 2 

He couldn‘t help but smile and be happy for her. Ash was a great guy and perfect for her. 

Finally the Alpha and the Luna came down, Duncan was dashing of course but The Luna, she looked almost like a goddess. She sparkled as she walked, she was wearing the Luna gems. Marco smiled in aproval. 

. Finally their pack was complete. 2) 

The ball went off without any problems, everyone had a wonderful time. Packs were getting to know each other better and the King was also enjoying talking to them as well. Everyone though let the King and Lily be just like the rest of them. 

Just as they were about to have the last dance for the night, a loud shriek and then children crying came down from upstairs. They started to rush up the stairs as smoke came down towards them.
