I was the first up the next morning. I didn't bother with a shower just put on a cloth and headed downstairs. After Brock got up we had our meetings with the enforcers then the Warriors before making breakfast and taking trays up to wake our mates. Ellis was up and in the shower when we got to the bedroom but Ellia was curled into a tight ball. Brock went to check on Ellis while I went over to Ellia and used the fur on my finger to tickle her nose. One eye cracked open.

"That's not nice."

"What's not nice?"

"Waking me up. You should come cuddle to make it up to me."

"I could but I have food, don't you want it? Fresh homemade fried biscuits, jam that one of the Omega's make. Fresh OJ, squeezed by yours truly. It's yummy." I grabbed a biscuit and put on some triple berry jam. Waving it under her nose I chuckled as she smiled and licked at the jam.

"Yummy. What kind?"

"Triple berry. Blueberry, blackberry, strawberry. Biscuits were canned but they are still good."

"Hmm." she opened her mouth I stuck the edge in and pulled it back before she could take a bite.

"Got to get up." she stuck her lip out but sat up and ate her breakfast.

"So what's on the agenda?" she asks.

"We're going to show you around then release you to get into trouble while Brock and I do some work around here. We'll be in link distance if you need us. Okay?" she nods. We take them around the house then Brock and I start on paperwork that we brought home from the Packs Meet. I'm getting restless before we get done with the paperwork.

"Why don't you go check on Ellis and Ellia while I finish this up." he suggests.

"Okay." I say and hurry from the room. It takes me a little while to find them. They are in the basement sitting room. It had been intended for people to wait for news of the clinic next door. The second I came down they stopped talking. I raised an eyebrow and waited.

"Something we should know?"

"No. Just hanging out talking." I looked around.

"In the basement? Didn't want to be overheard?" I question. Neither say anything but Ellis looks nervous and guilty, maybe a touch angry. Whatever they'd been talking about he wasn't completely okay with. She hopped up.

"I'm hungry what about you?" I laughed.

"You are a walking stomach." I tease and make her give me a kiss so she could pass me. Ellis stood and I stopped him the same way. "Everything alright?" I ask him again. He glances at Ellia's retreating back.

"It's just Ellia being Ellia. You'll find out later she wants it to be a surprise."

"You didn't look so happy, is this a surprise I'm going to like?" I ask. He blushes.

"Judging from the little I know I think you'll really like it but it has to be a surprise I promised her I wouldn't ruin it for her."

"Alright." he gave me a second kiss and we headed for the kitchen. Ellia was watching him with narrow eyes.

"I didn't say anything your surprise is intact." she grinned.

"Good. What should we make for dinner?"

"I have some chicken thawed that needs to be cooked." I say heading for the fridge. She pops up from her seat at the table.

"Do you normally cook?"

"Yes. Don't let Brock try he'll start a fire."

"Well you have mates now we will cook. I love to cook, considering I love to eat it balances out. Ellis is usually my guinea pig when I try new recipes."
