Christopher POV.
“I need a holiday,” I groan laying on the sofa in the alpha’s office, I’m acting worse than the littles, but I needed a freaking vacation.
“What are you whining about?” Peter asks me.
“Everything, Bambi is bored from the house all the time, I want to get back to work, but don’t want to leave her behind, and she got a new addiction to my wolf form,” I say, I’d never say no to her, but shifting takes a lot of my energy and my wolf goes crazy wanting to claim her the wolves way, not with a collar or a kiss, but with a bite and rubbing himself all over her until her scent mixes with mine.
“Get back to work, we need you here,” Peter says, and I agree with him, I want to get back as well, but coming back means leaving her behind.
“I don’t want to leave her behind,” I say, she’d die from boredom or burn the whole house down.
“Bring her along,” Thalia says, all of our mates work with us.
“I don’t think I can keep running the little department,” I tell her, I only did that to get to know her, to be near her, but I don’t wish to keep working with them.
“You can take your old job back, and make her your assistant,” Thalia says, that worked for her and Peter, but I can’t keep her with me the whole day, my job isn’t always a safe one.
“She can keep hers in the little department she loves it there and the trainers adore her,” I say refusing to drag her with me, my job isn’t the nicest ever.
“That’s fine with me,” the alpha says she’s not working either, all three of us are sitting in her office, just laying on the chair and the sofa talking, remembering our old days, when we were just kids and didn’t have responsibilities of the whole pack falling over our shoulders, we could just hang out and be happy.
“Back to the holiday, alpha, we can skip a couple of days and get out, like our old days,” Peter says, we’re cousins and brothers, well half brothers, but we’re friends since we were young.
“And do you two suggest? We leave the littles behind? Maybe get James and his boys to babysit for us?” she asks us with a raised brow, we’d never do that to the littles.
“Lilly would make it that our plane lands in the middle of a volcano,” Peter warns us, he’s right, Lilly would do that, no questions asked, she would.
“Colin would never forgive me, or talk to me again,” Thalia says.
“Bambi would think I’m cheating on her, I’ll take her with me,” I say refusing to leave her behind.
“We can take our littles with us then,” Peter says, he’s right, we should take them with us, it’s better if we take them along with us.
“Deal, you do the planning, I’m tired, I need a nap,” Thalia whines.
“Thali, you need us to put you down with the littles?” Peter tease her.
“Oh yes daddy, why don’t you try,” Thalia answers him, making me chuckle, we’re always like that, we never stop teasing each other, even after so many years now.
“I’ll get us somewhere warm!” I say leaving the office and going to get my little, she’s down in the little department spending time with her friends.
It didn’t take me long to get the holiday set, it’s cold in our home, but somewhere in the world, it’s warm, and I’m having enough of the snow, none of the littles knew anything, I had a place ready and waiting for us to get there, and I can’t wait to enjoy some happy time and memories with my little deer, every day with her they just get better.
“Ready?” I call Bambi, she’s in the bathroom taking her second shower for the day, all that because I said we are going out.
“I’m still showering,” she yells back at me, she’s cold and when she’s cold, she’s in the shower or cuddling near me, I prefer having her cuddling me much more than showering.
“Can you please turn the water off? I’ll hold you, I promise,” I call back, we need to leave soon, everyone else is getting ready, and our flight would be leaving soon.
“Can I steal your hoodies?” she asks me, she always wears my hoodies, I bought her a new wardrobe but somehow she’s always dressed in my hoodies.
“Yes, you can baby,” I say hoping for her to come out finally, and thankfully the water was turned off and she got out of the shower.
“Where’s my hoodie?” she says getting out of the shower, I handed her one of my hoodies, and she wore it right away, along with her jeans and her shoes, I brushed her hair for her and we were ready to leave.
I got her in the car still keeping our destination a secret, I drove us toward the airport, she never leaves the country, she never gets on a plane with anyone, none of her old clients, she was too worried about what would happen to her mother in her absence.
“Where are we going?” she asks when we didn’t head to any place she recognize.
“A surprise,” I answer her.
When we got to the airport, she was looking around confused as to where we are going, but then Thalia, Peter and Lilly joined us soon, the three littles were looking at each other confused.
“I didn’t organize this,” Lilly says, she always has a hand in organizing trips for the alpha and us.
“We know, it’s a surprise,” I assure Lilly, she doesn’t need to know everything.
“I don’t like this,” Lilly says with a raised brow during the whole boarding time, she then sneaked away and tried to talk to the captain hoping to get to the destination.
“Peter, go get your little before she terrorizes our captain,” I tell my brother still hugging Bambi who’s saying she’s cold.
“Where are we going?” Bambi whispers to me as we are cuddling during the flight, she too wants to know where we are going, but she’s more sneaky. She had me all cuddled with her, giving me her Bambi’s eyes, her lower lip trembling, and both of her hands attached to my neck.
“No, it’s a secret,” I whisper back to her making her pout even more.
“I nu like surprises,” she whines, but I only hugged her tighter.
“I’m sure you’ll enjoy it,” I assure her with a big proud smile, I was happy to have the three littles excited.
