Chapter 53 So Not Good

Sam POV

I stared blankly at the roof as the soft buzz of the soft fluorescent lights filled my ears like the soft snores of my mates filled my ears. It put my thundering heart at ease as I took in a few steady breaths.

In the past couple of months, I have the most stressful summer of my life. It has nothing to do with the vampires and everything to do with my family. Paul barely comes around anymore unless its pack related.

Mom has been ferocious lately, she's helping Emily out a lot. Keeping her calm with the impending war. Making sure the baby and Emily are healthy. But that also means that the family drama has officially infiltrated my pack.

Jake hasn't step for in the same place as Paul unless it's for the packing meeting. The two aren't even on speaking terms. Just grunts and scattered thoughts when we run drills.

Sure our teamwork is far less and we don't even need to speak to work as a team. But because of that, they don't feel the need to socialize. Which makes mom happy but that in turn cause Paul to blow off all pack things that don't involve fighting.

Which only cause him to spend more and more time with dad and Kimmy, and Jared but that I'd about it. Hell, he barely sees Bella because she spends all her time here.

I growled heavily under my breath as it was reduced to a whimper. How did my life turn out like this putting me in the middle of family drama? FML

Then there is the lunch today with mom and Jake. Jake big idea is to take her to the city in public so she can't make a scene and storm off. This way she has no choice but to talk about letting Paul back into the house which I'm sure is going to be a disaster.

"What wrong? I can feel your frustration growing even while I slept." Emily's gentle yet aggravated voice filled my ears. From her husky tone, I could tell that she was angry that I woke her up.

It almost forced a smile to form on my face if it wasn't for the worry crawling into my chest. I hope she didn't start yelling at me, one minute she is the sweetest thing in the world. But lately with the stress of the war plus the pregnancy harmonies. She tended to lose her cool with me any time that I did something stupid.

She practically bit my head off half the time and the other half of the time she wanted to have sex. "I don't appreciate any of those thoughts now tell me what is bugging you." I groaned as I stubbornly turned my head to look at my mate.

Her kind gentle brown eyes filled with an annoying fire that lit up her face in the most beautiful way. I let my eyes drift to her neck was I knew my mark was. But her scent was enough to let the others know who she belongs to.

Lately, my wolf has been driven into a protective panic. Which I'm sure is something to do with my son that is on the way. But still, it seemed like something that I shouldn't be worried about with all my family problems lately.

I suck in a heavy breath to clear my clutter and scattered mind before trying to focus on my mate and the impending doom. As my eyes scanned her face a felt my whole body collapse inward as I let out my heavy hunty breath.

I growled lowly under my breath once more before slowly rising from the bed. "Jake got the great idea to take mom up to the city and talk some sense in into her. I have to meet them up there. So I got to go"

I didn't bother to look at her I knew that she would give me one of those testy glares. I simply slipped on a red pullover hoodie and a pair of blue jeans.

As I spun slowly on my heels to see my wife's eyebrows raised as her gray eyes seemed to darken. As she slowly rises out of bed my loose fitting gratitude tee shirt clung to her rounding body. Even as she strode gently across the floor her feet barely ghosting the ground she gave me a gentle kiss on the cheek.

Then she shoved her finger roughly at my chest as her gentle smile slipped from her face. "You two better fix this, Paul is this baby's uncle and it's not far that he might not be in his life." I laughed lightly before nodding my head.

I'm glad that she and Paul were getting along better but that is only because they don't get to see each other a lot and that is thanks to my mother and the way that she has been acting lately. I took in a breath before nodding my head slowly, "Don't wait up I don't know how long this argument is going to last."

Her sweet mocha and caramel smell filled my nose as I lowered my head over her, placing a chaste kiss on her lips. I could taste the mix of her and my cum from the not before. It forced a grin on my face as a surfactant filled my air. Putting my wolf at ease for a moment before it got all riled up again.

His deep midnight black fur fille my mind as he began to pace back and forth with wild rage in his eyes. "We shouldn't leave her, leave your brothers to solve their own mess" I watched his muscle tense as anger fill my heart I'm not leaving them it's my job as the eldest and their brother to look out for the both of them. "God you need to stop freaking out over me just go your wolf will be fine. I will be fine Bella and Kim are coming over."

I nodded my head quickly before jogging out of the room before hopping into my car before hitting the pavement. I'm sure that they were going to have a bad ending the moment that trepidation started to fill my heart. I shook my head sadly as the large city buildings coming into view.

The large glass buildings started back at me as they looked overhead like an unforeseen threat. Something about the tense and stale air told me that I am missing something. But as I noticed the dinner coming up and the pleasant smile on my mother's face as she waved my bright red monstrous jeep down I knew that nothing could go wrong as long as we stuck to our gun.

I climbed slowly out of the car as the cool air whipped passed me feeling more like a calm breeze then the ice cold fall air. I watched my mother's amber eyes lit up with love and joy as this doing smile for me on her face. I took the time to pull her into a hug as I shifted my glance over her shoulder so that I could get a better look at Jake. He shifted nervously back and forth as his eyes threatened to turn gold from fear and worry. I unsalted lowly under my breath as my chest rumble with silent threats.

Within a minute, he got himself together forcing a tense smile on his face as his brown eyes darkened with worry. But he hid his scent pretty well so that is good at least, "So what did the two of you want to talk to me about." I grinned polity at her easy-going tone as we made our way into the diner. Letting the waitress directed us to a window seat.

Even as she left I felt the tension get thicker as I sulked into my leather bound seats the coll lather feeling hot and suffocation against my skin as I spoke in a calm voice. "We wanted to talk to you about…" Before I could even finish the sentence there was Paul and dad walking into the room. They had to be shitting me. I watched Paul frown deepened as we made eye connect. The look in his eyes said it all.

Shit! As if things couldn't get any worse mom turned her head back at the sound of my shock and worry filled voice. Only for her eyes to turn an icy blue as rage built in her chest. This so wasn't how I thought the afternoon is going to go.
