BLACKWATER PACK
CATHERINE
I woke up this morning feeling the warmth of the sun seeping through the curtains. I stretched and yawned, realizing that Damon was already up. I leisurely made my way to the bathroom, feeling the cool tiles beneath my feet. After brushing my teeth and taking a refreshing bath, I stepped out, wrapped a towel around me, and dried my hair with the soft, warm air from the blow dryer.
As I put on my favorite floral dress, I smiled at my reflection in the mirror, feeling grateful for another beautiful day. I walked downstairs to the kitchen, where the aroma of sizzling bacon greeted me. To my delight, I found my mom and Luna Diana engaged in a lively chat as they cooked together. When they noticed me, they both beamed and motioned for me to join them at the table.
"Good morning, sweetheart," my mom said, giving me a warm hug.
"How did you sleep?"
"I slept well, Mom," I replied, returning her hug.
"The sun is shining so beautifully today."
"Good morning Luna" I greeted and she smiled at me
"Morning Cat, you look very beautiful this morning" Sge complimented and I couldn't help but blush
"Thank you Luna" I responded
Luna Diana handed me a plate of freshly cut fruits and poured me a glass of orange juice.
"Here you go, Catherine. A healthy start to the day."
"Thank you, Luna Diana," I said with a grin.
"You always know how to make breakfast special."
"Luna, do you know where Damon is? I didn't wake up to meet him" I asked
"Yeah! He asked me to inform you that he's at the training center, he went to watch the pups train and he didn't want to wake you up" she responded
"Okay Luna"
We chatted about little things as the savory aroma of pancakes and eggs filled the air. The sound of sizzling and the clinking of utensils created a comforting background melody. It felt like a perfect morning, filled with warmth and love.
Soon, the food was ready, and Luna Diana served up delicious portions for each of us. As we began to eat, the door creaked open, and in walked Faye and Melissa
"Good morning, everyone!"
Faye called out, her bright eyes sparkling.
"What's cooking?"
"Good morning everyone" Melissa chimed in too, she came close to me and gave me a back hug
"Hi Cat," she said
"Morning Mel" I responded
"We've made pancakes, eggs, and bacon," Luna Diana announced with a smile.
"There's plenty for everyone. Come and join us!"
Faye and Melissa quickly took their seats, and soon we were all enjoying a hearty breakfast together. The sunlit kitchen was filled with laughter, friendly banter, and the delicious scent of food. It was a perfect start to a beautiful day.
The morning sun streamed through the kitchen windows, casting a warm glow over the room. I savored each bite of the delicious breakfast, feeling grateful for the simple joys of life. My mom and
Luna Diana shared stories from their childhood, and we all laughed together, enjoying the sense of togetherness.
As we finished our meal, Luna Diana cleared the table while my mom and I helped wash the dishes. Faye and Melissa stayed to chat.
After the dishes were done, we all gathered in the living room, sipping on freshly brewed coffee. The aroma of the coffee filled the air, adding to the cozy atmosphere. We shared stories and each person talked about how far they've gone with the task assigned to them in preparation for the mating ceremony, their challenges, and their breakthrough.
As we sipped our coffee, Melissa suddenly turned to me with a mischievous sparkle in her eyes.
"Cat, Faye and I have declared today a girls' day out! You need to change into something fun, and then we're hitting the town," she exclaimed with excitement.
I hesitated, feeling a bit unsure. "I don't know what to wear," I admitted, feeling a little flustered.
Before I could say anything else, Faye grabbed my hand and exclaimed,
"Come on, Catherine! We won't take no for an answer. Let's find you the perfect outfit!"
With that, they dragged me off the couch and up the stairs to my room. Once there, they dove into my closet, pulling out various dresses and skirts, chattering excitedly about each one.
"What about this one, Cat? It would look amazing on you!" Melissa held up a flowy, floral dress.
Faye shook her head. "No, no, no. How about this skirt with that blouse? It's so you!"
We tried on a few different outfits, and eventually, we settled on a cute denim trousers and a crop top that made me feel confident and ready for a fun day out.
"Perfect!" Faye declared with a smile. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
"Now, let's go show off our girl!"
We hurried downstairs, and soon we were piling into Mel's truck, there was excitement in the air, lately everywhere had been so tense because of the preparations so we needed to unwind. The sun was shining, and the promise of an adventure filled me with anticipation.
As we drove into town, the lively chatter filled the car. Faye and Melissa discussed the best places to go, sharing stories and memories of their past outings. I couldn't help but join in, feeling the thrill of the day ahead.
"Let's start with the little boutique on Main Street," Melissa suggested. "They have the cutest summer dresses right now."
"That sounds perfect," I agreed, feeling a sense of excitement building within me.
We arrived at the boutique and spent a delightful hour trying on different dresses and giggling like schoolgirls. The friendly saleswoman joined in our fun, offering advice and compliments as we modeled the various outfits.
After our shopping spree, we decided to grab lunch at a cozy café nearby. Over salads and iced tea, we shared stories and laughter.
"Let's not forget the ice cream shop!" Faye suggested with a grin. "It's a girls' day out tradition!"
We eagerly made our way to the ice cream shop, where we indulged in our favorite flavors, feeling carefree and joyful. As we walked around the town, the warmth of the sun filled me with a sense of contentment.
"Let's hurry up girls, so we can head back," I urged them.
"Yes, Luna," Melissa teased.
"Mel," I said, feeling a bit bashful.
"What? You're Luna, after all," she retorted.
Once we were finished, we hopped into the truck, and Mel sped off toward the Pack.
As we neared the Pack Mansion, an unsettling sight caught my eye: Damon was embracing a woman tightly, and she didn't look familiar.
