THE ALPHA'S REJECTED MATE ( I have a baby for him)

Part 7

ALORA

I was in my element, surrounded by the scents of garlic, onions, and sizzling steak. It was steak week, and I had pulled out all the stops, preparing creamy steak fettuccine, outback steakhouse Tasmanian chili, steak au poivve soup, Philly cheesesteak quesadillas, and beef stroganoff. The kitchen was alive with the sounds of chopping, sizzling, and the clinking of pots and pans.

I poured my heart into every dish, hoping to create something special for the pack. Cooking had always been my nack and I wanted to make the best out of it.

As the aroma of the dishes wafted through the air, pack members began to gather in the general hall. The long tables were set with plates, silverware, and glasses, ready for the feast. The atmosphere was charged with excitement and anticipation, and I couldn't help but feel a sense of pride and joy.

Elias entered the hall and greeted everyone with a warm smile. 

"Alora, this smells incredible," he said, his voice filled with genuine admiration.

I blushed, ducking my head. "Thank you, Alpha. I hope everyone enjoys it."

Elias sat at the head table and Laura served him a portion of each of the meals. He took a bite of the quesadillas and his eyes went round. "This is incredibly delicious. Happy steak week indeed." 

Pack members rushed to take their seats and children filled the hall. Plates were passed around, and soon, everyone was digging into the dishes with gusto.

Amidst the feast, Sebastian made his entrance, carrying a tiny white kitten in his arms. The irony of a wolf to have a kitten as a pet, I threw him a curious glance and he shrugged.

"I know it's strange for a wolf to have a cat," he said, addressing the room. "But I love cats, even if I'm a wolf."

I couldn't help but smile at Sebastian's openness. The kitten, sensing the attention, squirmed in his arms and meowed softly.

Just then, the pack's Siberian husky, a mischievous ball of energy, bounded into the hall. The husky's eyes locked onto the kitten, and before anyone could react, the chase was on. The kitten darted out of Sebastian's arms, scrambling across the tables and knocking over plates in its bid for escape. The husky followed closely, barking excitedly.

The kitten, in a desperate bid for safety, leapt onto my lap, its tiny body trembling with fear. I cradled it gently, soothing it with soft murmurs. The husky skidded to a halt in front of me, its tail wagging furiously.

"Looks like you've made a new friend," Elias said with a chuckle, whistling to call the husky to his side and the husky obediently complied.

I laughed, stroking the kitten's soft fur. "I guess so."

"I don't think I want to share Effy's love with anyone." Sebastian grumbled.

Effy purred and went into my shirt for warmth "I don't think she agrees to that." 

Sebastian rolled his eyes and tried to coax Effy back to him but she only snuggled closer to me.

"Come on Effy, you know I'm much warmer than her." 

Effy meowed and ran to meet Sebastian. 

"I have to prepare her warm milk, want to follow me?"

"What about your breakfast?"

"Breakfast can wait a bit, my baby needs to feed." 

I smiled, gulped down my steak au poivve soup and happily followed Sebastian to feed Effy.
