My Pet Mate

Chapter 38

*Annabelle's POV*

When Adam had told me he couldn't sleep without me by his side I figured he was just being dramatic, but when I entered the kitchen this morning and saw a zombie sitting at the breakfast table, I realized that he was being dead serious.

"I thought you were kidding about the sleep thing." I told him.

Adam grumbled, "I clearly wasn't."

I wanted to be supportive and caring, but honestly this was really funny. Poor big bad Alpha can't sleep without me in his arms. That is adorable. "Have you had breakfast yet?"

Adam shook his head. His wild hair tumbling in front of his eyes, "Just coffee."

I smiled and got some pans out to make breakfast. I hate cooking, but breakfast is doable. After a bit I felt two arms around my waist and a heavy Alpha dumbed his weight on me as he nuzzled my neck.

"Adam, I'm cooking."

"And I'm making up for lost time." He grumbled in response.

I rolled my eyes and continued, this time with added difficulty. When Adam suddenly released me  I was about to comment when my mother entered the kitchen.

"Good morning. Oh, Anna let me, I know you don't like cooking!" she immediately stepped in. Adam, the good boyfriend he is, started setting the table.

A few minutes later we were eating breakfast. Dad had joined us too, being surprisingly happy this morning.

"Did you sleep well, Adam?" mom asked.

Adam glanced at me before putting on a smile, "Yes, slept great." He forced out.

I had to bite back a smile when my father narrowed his eyes at him, "Good to know you are able to sleep without my daughter present."

I couldn't contain my laughter this time. And both mom and dad looked at me weirdly. I didn't even dare to look at Adam, "Adam and I aren't inseparable."

"Wouldn't be surprised. You and your sister used to be glued together by the hip! You can get pretty attached to someone." Dad argued.

I rolled my eyes. If only he knew how clingy Alpha's get. Isa and I were nothing compared to Adam.

Thankfully, we dropped the subject after that. Adam and I were going to fly back to Maine tomorrow morning, so we decided to spend today as a lazy family day. We usually didn't spend Thanksgiving with my mom's side of the family. They all lived further away from us and they weren't that close. There was some argument between two of my aunts and my mom liked to stay out of it. My grandparents on that side had both passed away as well, so it was usually just the aunts and uncles anyway.

Isa ended up coming over, surprisingly without Will. Speaking of clingy couples, Will and Isa are pretty attached too. Apparently, Will had Beta duties though, and couldn't come over. We watched some movies in the living room, first an action movie that my dad and Adam convinced us to watch. We were now watching a romance, which us girls had voted majority vote for. Dad had grumbled but also laughed at every joke made in the movie. He was clearly enjoying it, but had too much pride to admit it.

Adam had been slumped against my shoulder as he watched. He was clearly tired from a sleepless night. He told me he'd be fine, since Alpha's apparently could handle living on less sleep, but I could slowly feel him falling asleep next to me, which I thought was adorable.

In the end I softly grabbed Adam and placed his head on my lap. Dad had given me a disapproving look but I had glared back at him and mom had pulled him closer to snuggle.
