~Leo~
Amelia did not come in until the early hours of the morning. I hoped she had all the fun she wanted. I also knew there was no way she would wake early.
Morning came, and just as I suspected, Amelia was still sleeping.
I freshened up and decided to go on a run. I met my friends outside exercising.
"Amelia is snoozing too?" Sylvester asked me, and I nodded.
He laughed.
We decided to shift and go running in the woods. It was a way of training our wolves.
We had fun.
I showed them where we found the camp and the other suspicious things in my woods.
There was no foreign scent there, so I knew the intruders had abandoned the spot.
We moved around for a bit, and then it was time to return home.
David's wolf was just as playful as the guy, but I recognised he was stronger than Knight.
David was born of two alphas, so I could see why Maurice was trying to make him lord. Sylvester was blessed to have a half-brother and a full-brother that genuinely loved him. Vino was still in the greys for me.
I would not dispute that Knight had the presence and strength, but if David had Sylvester's training and exposure, his wolf would have been more domineering. The four of them were blessed to have each other, and I secretly wish I had siblings too.
"We returned to the house a bit close to noon and were all famished.
We returned to our rooms to shower and dress up so we could eat. I doubted we could wait for our mates, but Amelia wasn't there when I got to the room.
"Where are you?" I asked her through the mind link.
"We have decided we would cook when we can. We just finished cooking, and we have set the dining. I was about to link you to come to eat," She said, and I told her I would be there.
I showered in a hurry and threw on a shirt and shorts before hurrying out.
Black was complaining severely, and even my tummy was growling.
We should have eaten before we went on the run, but we did not think we would stay that long out there, and we were having lots of fun too.
We arrived at the dining room, and the meals were ready. Katya was wearing sunglasses, and I knew she was hungover.
I wondered what she drank.
Susan and Amelia were the ones that seemed at their best.
It made me wonder because Susan was still in recovery. She had recovered faster than the doctor anticipated, and it seemed she had full access to her wolf. She must be a fast healer or someone that did not need much sleep to feel refreshed. I did not make much of it and just sat down.
"Too much partying," I said to anyone that would listen.
"It isn't the alcohol that is making everyone like this; we didn't sleep as much as we were supposed to. Even Avery, that did not drink looks tired," Tamia replied, and we all laughed.
"I am not doing an all night again," Avery said, and Marcel kissed her hand.
"Not good for the baby," I heard him tell her, and she giggled.
"But there were a lot of spring rolls last night. I never want to see those things again, at least for now," She said, and everyone laughed.
I wondered why the Omegas always made spring rolls to serve to guests. I would discuss the quick menu with Macy and have her spice things up a bit.
"We ate in peace, and the food was delicious. I missed Amelia's cooking, and I was glad she took charge.
After the meal, the women gave us lectures on how they felt excluded from the issues and wanted to be equal partners in it.
Honestly, it wasn't deliberate, but looking at it now, it did seem like we were trying to keep them in the dark on the issue.
Sylvester agreed that we should all have the meetings at the same time.
After brunch, we went to the lounge to catch up on events and bring our mates up to speed.
Andrew and Clay arrived at the lounge. The two seemed to be having fun, but I did not trust Andrew.
Devin had called to inform us that he was on his way and that they had caught the bitch. I did not want us to have that discussion in the presence of Andrew.
I needed to be sure he could be trusted.
