I was about to respond when I felt it-Aina’s confusion bleeding through our bond. Damn. She must

have woken up… and she was hungry.

“You’ll tell me everything later, Father,” I said, pushing back from my chair. “I have to go attend to

my mate.”

He nodded, but before I left, I paused at the doorway and glanced back at him. “Also, tell Mom”

With that, I stepped out.

Shit, I thought, already moving faster. I needed to get to Aina. Pulling out my phone, I dialed the kitchen. “I want your finest food in my room. No delays.”

By then, I was practically sprinting down the hall. Anyone watching me right now would think I was a love-struck fool… which, I suppose, I was.

When I reached my door, I took a moment to breathe, a smile tugging at my lips before I opened it.

What I saw made my chest tighten-Aina, sitting curled up on the couch, her head resting on her knees. She looked small, withdrawn. But the moment she heard the door open, she lifted her head, and her entire face lit up. In an instant, she was in my arms.

“Hey, sugar plum… there now,” I murmured, pressing a kiss to her hair.

She tipped her face up at me with a pout, and I kissed her lips softly. “Why did you leave me alone

here?”

“Ah,” I said, brushing my thumb along her cheek. “Your mother was here.”

Her eyes widened, darting past me toward the door.

“She’s gone,” I assured her. “She came with your brother.”

“For what? Did she hear about me losing control of myself?” she asked, worry lacing her tone.

I chuckled, shaking my head. “Yes… but don’t worry, Aina. Everything’s perfect. And-“I let the suspense build just a second “-we’ll be talking about our mating ceremony soon.”

Her eyes lit up brighter than I’d ever seen, pure joy radiating from her. “Really?” she squeaked. “Really,” I said with a laugh, holding her closer.

The kitchen staff soon arrived, wheeling in trays piled high with everything imaginable-platters of roasted meat, fresh bread still warm from the oven, ripe fruits glistening with juice, and more dishes than the table could hold.

The moment the scent hit the air, my foodie of a mate’s stomach let out a loud grumble. I burst/

into laughter, and she immediately looked down, cheeks pink with embarrassment.

Once the staff had left, I pulled a chair out for her. She sat, and I began piling her plate with

generous portions of everything within reach.

“This is too much,” she said with an amused smile. “Do you want me to get bigger than this?”

“You’re perfect, Aina,” I replied without hesitation. “Being chubby isn’t a bad thing. You should learn to love yourself, you know?”

She gave a small nod and picked up her fork, starting to eat. “I know.., but when it’s too much, it

becomes a problem.”

“True,” I agreed, leaning back to watch her with a grin. “But seeing you like this makes me want to

pounce on you.”

Her head snapped up, face flushing crimson. “Don’t say that,” she muttered, clearly flustered.

“But it’s true. Where you see fat, I see a delicious meal.”

She dropped her spoon, groaning. “Stoppp,” she whined, covering her face with her hands.

I chuckled but didn’t stop. “Who says a little fat would ever make me not want you?”

That earned me the sweetest sound I could ever hear-her laughter. My sweet Aina’s laughter, ringing bright and unrestrained, filling the room like sunlight breaking through clouds.
