The Final Battle (Book #3)

Chapter 9

We finally arrived at his family's house after two days of walking. We really didn't talk that much the only time he really talked to me was when he was making sure I was fine and not hungry or thirsty. I looked at the house it was a small little log cabin with trees all around it. He walked up to the front door and unlocked it and walked in. "Okay there is only one bedroom and one bathroom so you can take the bed and I'll take the couch," he said.

"Deangelo you know this wasn't my idea."

"Yeah, I know, I'm not mad at you I just wanted to get away from all that shit."

"What shit, my village?"

"No my dad and magic."

"Okay then I won't use magic while we are here."

"I ain't eating any brunt food so if you have to use magic to prevent that then be my guest."

"I don't burn food honey."

"Well then you should get cooking and I will get some firewood."

"What do you want to eat?"

"I don't know, whatever you can make out of what we have."

I laughed, "Well have fun being an ax man."

"Will do," he left and I went into the kitchen. I opened the freezer and saw a pound of ground beef I could do allot with that. I looked out the window and saw a garden that hadn't been taken care of in a couple of months but I could see allot of vegetables. I looked around the kitchen and found a pot. I opened a couple more cabinets and found spies. I heard the door open and saw Deangelo already all sweaty as he started carrying in wood. "Hey so what are we going to eat for dinner," he asked me.

"How does chili sound?"

"It sounds good, I'm gonna finish bringing in the wood get a fire started and then take a shower."

"Okay," he started heading for the door.

"Oh and I turned the water and power back on so everything should work fine and if it doesn't just let me know and I'll fix it."

"Okay but hey can I use any of the vegetables from the garden?"

"Yeah, whatever you need."

"And can we try to fix it up tomorrow?"

"Yes we can," he smiled and left. I grabbed a bag of dry beans and put them in a pot to boil. I put the meat in the sink with some water, then grabbed a basket and headed for the garden. When I got there every vegetable and fruit that I could think of was there. I grabbed some peppers, onions and tomatoes then headed back to the kitchen. Before I closed the door I saw Deangelo chopping up wood, he looked very cute but he was gonna really need a shower when he got done. I started cutting everything that I picked while the meat was browning. I heard the door open again, Deangelo was bringing in more wood. "So besides fix the garden what else would you like to do," he asked me.

"Can we try to clean up around here it's really dusty? I mean if you want to do something different while I clean then I am fine with that."

"I'll go hunting while you clean I'm sure we are going to need allot more meat to last us a month."

"That's just fine."

"How much longer till the food is ready?"

"About another hour or so."

"Alright I'm gonna take a shower and drop your bags off in your room." I nodded and he left heading for the bathroom. I kept cooking it was almost done so I washed some bowls and got everything ready. He soon came out in only a towel. 

"Deangelo," I turned my back to him, "Put some clothes on please."

He chuckled, "Relax I just left my bag over here."

"Just hurry dinner is ready." I heard him laugh once again but leave. I set the table and he came back out fully clothed. "Here eat up," I placed a bowl in front of him.

"Thanks it smells good," he literally started scarfing it down. I was eating slowly staring at him horrified. He paused and looked at me, "Uh, is something wrong?"

I just started laughing, "You eat like a dog."

"Well I should be getting my wolf soon so this shouldn't be a surprise." I started laughing even harder now I couldn't believe this guy he was so silly and crazy but sweet. "This is really good, though. I'll be sure to try to find some good meat so that way you can cook more."

"Can we also try to find a village and get some other stuff?"

"Of course we can just eat this tomorrow so that way we will be able to do everything that we want to do."

"Sounds good we have enough to last us 6 meals."

"Alright and I don't mind but what about breakfast?"

"How do you feel about a fruit salad?"

"Sounds good I like this, not having to cook or anything."

"Can you tell me something?"

"Sure what would you like to know?"

"How high up in the warrior pyramid are you in your pack?"

"Pretty high I mean we are right under the Beta."

"How?"

His face dropped, "Someone in my family was an Alpha and the packs joined together."

"So they gave up being Alpha?"

"No not really a girl gave up her title when she divorced the Alpha so now our family can't claim to be of Alpha decent."

"That sucks, but why did she divorce if he is her mate?"

"He smacked her around allot and when she found out she was pregnant then she did what was best for the baby."

"Oh," I said quietly.

"The baby was my dad it probably explains why he is so messed up in the head."

"I'm sorry."

"What all did my brother tell you?"

"How your dad hit both of y'all and your mom he said you should be the one to tell me who your dad is and everything."

"I am really don't want to talk about him if that's okay?"

"I understand when ever you are ready to talk about him I am here," I stood up and cleared the table, "I am going to go get ready for bed, goodnight." I walked to my room and left the door cracked. I started to change into a crochet cami and shorts when I felt a hand on my back.
