Two Mates, One Fate.

Chapter 7.

Waking up the next morning I was relieved to find myself back in my bed and not on some floor.

I look around the guest room over towards the second bed where Zac had slept to find it empty, rolling out of bed I went into the bathroom taking a quick shower before changing into the spare clothes I brought with me.

I followed my nose towards the kitchen once I was all done where I could smell breakfast being cooked, as I got closer I heard all the noise coming from the kitchen as well as the great smell. As soon as I stepped foot in I saw the massive table off to the side full of children from toddlers to twelve-year-olds.

"Carrie darling have you just woken up? Grab a plate and join us." I look up to where the woman speaking and helping the toddlers eat their breakfast was.

"Nonna?" I ask my eyes softening at the sweet old lady at the table smiling at me.

"Yes, sweetheart?"

Nonna was the pack's nan during the day she would do everything from cooking, cleaning and even daycare while everyone else in the pack worked. It used to be so much fun a whole group of us together while she took care of us playing hide and seek and other games.

"You're still here?"

"Well, where else would I be?" She asks passing me a plate as I come and join the table in the only free space between two children one must have been around five and the other was just a toddler who was pulling apart pancakes and eating them.

"Are you her?" The six-year-old asks looking up at me.

"Who?" I ask as I start putting food onto my plate.

"Carrie, The alpha and luna's daughter." She asks eyes big and bright.

"Yeah, that's me." I say pouring myself some juice at the same time.

"I have your shoes on!" The little girl screams in excitement at me. She wiggles back in her chair and brings her foot up onto the chair for me to see, she wasn't wrong they were my shoes from when I was her age they didn't come with me in the move.

They were white when I got given them but I didn't like them so ended up doing a few drawings on them with marker pens.

"Mia let Carrie eat will you." Mia smiled before turning back to her food shoving even more into her face.

"Nonna, are all these children you know?"

Nonna was very well known for looking after children without parents, there wasn't many back when I was little but from what my mum had told me a lot of children were left without parents.

"A few of them yes." She replies cleaning up one of the kids who had more food down them than in them.

"Can I ask you a question?" I say slowly eating my food putting a massive bit of bacon on my folk.

"When have you ever asked me if you could ask a question?" We both laughed.

"Why did dad wait so long to get me and Zac back?"

I pulled the fork up to my mouth and just got air no pancake I looked down at Mia to find her smiling at me.

"Did you just steal my bacon?" I ask looking down at Mia.
