Chapter 96
Here you go alpha. Two platte and your drinks.” “Thank you, Mon I notice little wolf hasn’t revealed to her only friend that she can talk. Interesting. She must be fearful and still attempting to humb her emotions. Something I will need to rectify, thus making me a hypocrite but I didn’t have a mate before, so maybe I will be different now. The thought of feeling my grief has me deciding quickly that I won’t be different. “Dig in little wolf. It will ease me to see my ma…you..see you eat. I haven’t seen it since you were in your wolf form, and she is quite the messy eater.” I laugh to myself, and little wolf smack my chest with the back of her hand. I can get used to this playful side of her, “I was trapped in my fur bag for five days. I saw how she ate. She needs practice.” “Fur bag huh? That is much too derogatory for your wolf. She is the host beautiful, elegant wolf I have ever seen. Even when she has food flying all over the place.”
My mate bond is starting to ache in my chest. I don’t know if little wolf can feel it, but the bond will start calling us together more forcefully until it is either sealed or rejected. I catch her rubbing her chest out of the corner of her eye and realize she feels it too. “Here little wolf. Let me cut up your food. It will help ease the bond if we are taking care of each other.” I whisper in her ear and watch a little shiver rack through her body. So responsive for me. Perfect for me, I cut up her meat and load up her fork. It takes everything out of me to not actually feed her myself, but that will have to wait until we are alone, or the pack knows. She reaches reful herself. “You are right. It is helping.” “I am right little wolf
over and pours my juice into a cup for me and brings it close,
usually am.”
We continue to eat our breakfast in private when the smell of lemons assaults my senses. I don’t even have to look up to see that Della is headed this way with her tray. “Thane, since when do you eat down here?” she asks through gritted teeth attempting the fakest smile I have ever seen. How have I been so blind? “Since today Della.” She walks around the table and sits her tray down directly across from little wolf. Della has no idea what she is doing. She has no idea Ayla is my fated mate and her luna. She needs to tread carefully because I don’t think I can handle any disrespect from her. This bond is unsettled, we are more agitated and possessive. Hopefully it calms down after we claim each other. “Della I don’t think sitting here is such a good idea.” “Why? We are just friends. Childhood friends. It isn’t like you threw me away the second this she wolf got her nails into you. Oh wait. You did. I
remember you threatening to rip my throat out if I didn’t leave your office.” I can feel little wolf’s teal eyes burning holes into Della. Della however is staring at me, completely ignoring little wolf.
“Della, it would be best if you leave. We can talk about this later in private. We don’t need to discuss this here.” Della smiles at me and turns towards Ayla. She smiles at her as well and gets up from the table, grabbing her tray of food. She stands next to me and places a hand down on my shoulder causing an immediate growl deep within little wolfs chest, Aramana close to the surface. I have no doubt she would tear Della’s arms off and beat her with them. “Go Della.” I say sternly as she walks away towards the kitchen. I turn back to look at my mate, to find her glaring at me. “What is wrong little wolf?”
