Alpha Lightwoods Mate

Chapter 8

"So what's the first question?" Rhydian asked as he laid on my bed.

"Give me a minute."

He nodded resting one hand behind his head.

"I got it. I want to know more about your family." I replied as I laid on my stomach resting on my elbows

"Like?"

"How many siblings do you have? Boys or girls? Do you like them? Which one's your favorite?"

"I have five siblings. Three sisters and two brothers. I love them all to death but most of the time I can't stand them." He laughed pushing himself into a sitting a positon. "My favorite would have to be my sister Nikki."

"Why?"

"Because she has always had my back and no matter what has happened she believed in me even when I didn't believe in myself or when no one else would."

"Friends?"

"You already met them."

"Clark and Lucas?" I asked and he nodded. "You don't have any more friends than that? From other packs or anything?"

"I would rather use the word acquaintances than friends when it comes to other packs and their members."

"So no other friends?"

"You'll meet them soon and then maybe you'll wish that you didn't."

"Why?"

"Because they act like Clark when he's drunk," he said and I laughed, "like all the time."

"Then I think I'll love them."

"Ah, you think that now but when you have to be around them twenty four seven you wish that they would be quiet for a few hours....or a few days."

"And that is why you lock yourself in your room."

"That doesn't work when you're Alpha or when they're your friends. I've tried locking the out of the Main House but they always find a way in and then they stole my key and made copies of it."

"Why not change the locks."

"The last three times I did that they kept getting copies."

"How?"

"My grandmother kept letting them borrow her key because they told her they lost theirs and then the copying of copies ensued. I can't take my grandmothers key because my mother would gut me and I love my grandmother. So, I gave up and now they come and go as they please."

"Your siblings?"

"Like I said Nikki is the only one who likes to be beside me when I'm Alpha Lightwood. They all live there and just so you know they eat a lot. All of them."

"Nothing new to me," I smiled looking over at him. "I grew up with six older brothers and they eat anything and everything except for ham and turkey."

"Then what does you guys eat for dinner on Christmas and Thanksgiving?"

"Mexican food on Thanksgiving and we have Christmas breakfast instead of dinner." I replied and he looked at me weird. "What?"

"Mexican food?"

"Yep."

"For dinner?"

"Yeah."

"On Thanksgiving?"

"Now you've got it."

"And that's normal?"

"Absolutely, unless you're my uncle who thinks that we shouldn't celebrate Thanksgiving unless we just throw a get together and party until two in the morning."
