The Three Alphas

Chapter 29 - Kitchen Kisses

WARNING: MILD SEXUAL CONTENT

I opened my eyes to see the blinding light streaming through the curtains. I groan, and move my arm to feel for Henry, but the bed next to me was empty and it was cold. He must've gotten up a while ago. I sigh and pull myself out of the bed.

Getting up was always something I dread, especially in the winter. Getting out of a warm bed, to the cold was never my idea of fun, but I don't suppose it's anyone's idea of fun. I drag myself into the bathroom and start running the shower, and mentally run through my check list for the morning; Wash my hair, exfoliate, shave my legs, wash my body, moisturiser, deodorant, brush my teeth, get dressed, put some makeup on, dry and do my hair, then have breakfast.

I've got my date with Oliver today. I don't know how to feel about it. I'm excited, and kind of afraid to be completely honest, especially with how our first date went. I'm scared of being hurt by him again, and I don't know if I'd be able to recover from that, but I guess I'm going to have to trust him. That's another thing that I've never understood about the mate bond; the immediate trust that you have in your mate. Take Henry for an example, I met him only a couple of weeks ago, but yet I'd trust him with my life. It's as if I've known him my entire life. Is it just me that finds that weird? Probably.

I step into the shower after undressing and let the water flow over my body. The hot water melting away all the worries that I had last night. I couldn't stop repeating the dream in my mind. It's unsettling. It feels like a warning. Is that another one of my powers? I don't know, it's hard to tell, but my mother hasn't made an appearance, so I guess not. I pick up my shampoo and work it into a lather, making sure to scrub, before rinsing it out. I repeat the same with the conditioner, working it through the lengths of my hair, and letting it sit while I exfoliate my legs and shave them. I rinse the conditioner out and start washing my body, and rinse the soap off.

I step out of the shower and wrap myself in a towel. Time for some moisturiser, deodorant and perfume. I brush my teeth before hanging my towel up and wrap myself in my robe. I head out of the bathroom, and into my closet. I should plan my outfit for tonight, but I have absolutely no idea what Oliver has planned. I sigh and start pulling on some leggings, a t-shirt and a half zip sweater before drying my hair and pulling it into a pony tail.

I put on some light makeup (mostly a thin layer of foundation, some blush, mascara and some lip salve) and give myself a once over in the mirror. I give myself a nod of approval and head downstairs to grab some breakfast. I make myself some scrambled eggs on toast, a coffee and cut up some fruit then sit down at the table when I hear the front door open and close.

"Morning, Darling. We didn't expect you to be up yet." Theo says, coming into the kitchen. He was wearing some jeans and a button up. He looked handsome, as usual.

I give him a soft smile. "Morning Theo."

"I was going to make you some breakfast, but I can see you've got it sorted already." He says, bending down to press a kiss to my forehead, but I look up and catch his lips with mine. He growled in approval before pulling away. He sits down on the chair next to mine, and steals a strawberry from my bowl of fruit with a wink. I give him a warning growl, narrowing my eyes at him.

He chuckles and pulls me into his lap. "Noooo, my food!" I whine.

"Hey, easy, Darling." He chuckles, pulling my food in front of us. He picks up a piece of melon, and holds it up for me to take. "Here." He says as I bite into it and give him a soft smile. I can see that him feeding me is pleasing his wolf. Stupid alphas. It's the simple things, I guess. 

"Do you have any idea what Oliver's got planned for tonight? I need to know what to wear."

He shook his head. "Sorry Darling, I've got no idea. He was talking to Henry about it last night, but that's all I know." He says and I huff. "You're adorable when you're annoyed." He smirks.
