Venus woke up to a pair of warm soft lips on her neck, she tilted her head to the other side and scrunched her nose, the pair of lips still didn't stop their sweet assault on her neck, gently nipping and kissing her.

She peeked an eye open to see Dante hovering above her, his dark locks messy, 

as if it were the most natural thing ever, venus ran her hands through his hair to set aside the stray locks that had fallen over his forehead, he closed his eyes and relished in the feel of her soft touch.

"Good morning love," Dante said, his voice deep and husky from sleep,

"Good morning," venus replied shyly, turning over as her face turned red from his heated gaze.

He chuckled above her and kissed her nape, getting out of bed and heading to the washroom to freshen up and venus lay in the sheets cuddled, a big smile on her face.

After Dante, venus went and freshened up, wearing white shorts with a baby blue tee and some white converse, she had to go to the pack orphanage today.

While making breakfast for Dante she dropped a spoon and bent down to get it, only to receive a hard squeeze and smack to her derrière, Venus jumped,

 fully ready to smack the culprit across the face but Dante had already run out of the kitchen, a sly smirk on his face.

Sophia and Venus later in the day head out to the orphanage, James had gone to another pack with Gabriel for some work.

The pack caretaker greeted them politely, she was a lovely woman in her 40s.

"Hello luna, my name is Greta I'm the caretaker of the pack's orphanage, hello Sophia," she said, hugging Sophia and giving venus a warm smile.

"Oh please call me Venus, and it's lovely to meet you, Greta," venus didn't want to be called upon as luna, she wanted everyone to be at ease with her.

"As you say venus, come this way, the children are decorating the backyard fences and walls, we thought we'd let them be creative on their own," Greta said, picking up an adorable little girl of no more than 2 and balancing her on her hip.

"How many kids are here," venus asked, giving the little girl a soft smile.

"About 35 now right Greta?" Sophia asked as she would come to the orphanage frequently, she was familiar with the kids.

"Yes 33 actually, two pups got adopted yesterday," Greta said, smiling widely as she gave the news to Sophia who shared an equally happy reaction.

The little girl in Gretas arms extended her little chubby arms towards venus, her big green eyes wide in wonder,

"Pwetty," she said in a soft adorable voice as she pointed at Venus's hair.

"Why thank you, baby, you're very pretty too," venus said, taking little Poppy, which Greta said was her name, into her arms, as Poppy played around with her hair.

With Poppy in her arms, they went to the backyard to see many kids running around and playing, giggles and laughter could be heard all across, there were 7 other caretakers along with Greta.

The oldest kids were 14-16 while the youngest was Poppy herself, of 2 years.

Greta called out to all the kids and told them to assemble into a line and meet their luna, obediently they did as they were told and collectively greeted venus.

She smiled widely at all of them as they all sat in a circle and introduced themselves.

The day went by with venus playing around and helping all the kids decorate, spending lunchtime with them, and reading them stories.
