Jamison and I stop by the kitchen inside the pack house. Any leftovers from lunch are packed up and stored in the refrigerators we have set up in there. I open the door and pull out a dish, setting it on the counter. Peeling back the foil, I come across lasagna, one of my favorites. I pull out several more dishes to reveal broccoli with cheese and a plate of the standard grilled meats; hotdogs, hamburgers, and a variety of different sausages.
We try to appeal to everyone who may decide to eat at the dining and banquet halls by having a main dish with vegetables, potatoes, pasta and meat The pack is big enough that food rarely goes to waste. Dinner is the only meal that my family eats together, separate from the pack. Most nights my beta and his son join us. My delta, Anthony and his family, will join when I have important information that he needs to be briefed on. Everyone in the pack knows they can come in the kitchen and heat up leftovers if they get hungry or miss lunch. I pull three plates from the cabinet and start dishing out food for Lilly and L
“Grab yourself what you want while I put these in the microwave.”
I invite Jamison. He gives me a respectful nod with a quiet thanks as he grabs a couple sausages and cheeseburgers with a side of broccoli.
“Will that be enough for you?”
“Yes sir. This will hold me until dinner.”
With that I start putting everything away as I wait for the food to heat. We head to my office once Jamison’s food is ready. I hand him my plate so I can unlock the door. My luna is inside and quite vulnerable right now. I step inside my office as I open the door, directing Jamie to my desk.
“Take a seat at my desk but stay out of my chair. I’m going to check on Luna, you stay out here.“–
“Yes sir.”
His voice is quiet but respectful as he sits in the chair in front of my desk. I stand at the door to the bedroom until he’s eating, entering quietly.
I place her plate on the nightstand before crawling into the bed with her. She’s laying on her side facing me but her breathing is steady and even reassuring me that she’s still sleeping. I wrap my arms around her, drawing her close as she stirs awake.
“How are you doing, Lilly?”
“It still hurts.” She whimpers as she snuggles into my neck.
“I’m sorry baby. I should’ve anticipated your reaction better.”
“It’s not your fault. You were just caught up in the moment like any mate should be. It’s not as bad as the
first time we tied and I flipped out.”

“I don’t remember much of our first time together. I allowed my wolf to take over so I wasn’t completely there. I’ve always believed that I raped you that
first time.”
“Is that why it took you two years to touch me again?” I nod my head as I gently touch her face.
“No Demetri, you have never harmed me in such a way.”
