The Alpha's Kitten

Chapter Nine

The next morning I woke up tangled in the sheets. I smile hearing soft snores coming from my sexy mate next to me. I bury my face into his chest going back to sleep since it was still kind of early.

This time when I wake I see Daddy sitting on the edge of the bed. He looked aggravated about something. I crawl over to him and lean over his shoulder to kiss his cheek. "What's the matter, Daddy? You don't look to happy."

"It's nothing, Kitten. Go get your teeth brushed so we can go eat some breakfast," He forces a smile. I fight the urge to push it but I don't want to push him away. I slowly make my way to the bathroom trying to find a way to figure out how to make him feel better. 

"Daddy, can you help me please?" I ask poking my head back into the room. He looks up from his phone before tossing it on the un made bed. Daddy walks into the bathroom and I pounce on him giving him kisses. "You can tell me anything. I might be a little but I can still take care of my daddy."

"I know, Kitten. I know you can do anything you want when you want. I'll tell you soon," He says setting me on the counter. I smile trying to comfort him and it works a little. Hunter chuckles picking up my toothbrush. "I also know you didn't really need my help."

"Uh huh! I always need daddy's help," I say in fake shock. Hunter shakes his head before he starts to brush my teeth. I swing my feet back and forth happily. 

"Rinse your mouth out, Little Luna. I'm go grab your clothes," He says setting my on the floor in front of the sink. Daddy leaves the bathroom as I rinse my mouth and wash my face. I dry my faces and hands before running back in the room. "How would you like to hang out with Mara and Alice for a little bit today?"

"Of course! I'd love that!" I squeal bouncing up and down. Daddy smiles softly quickly getting me dressed in a pair of overalls and a light blue t-shirt. We walk down stairs as I swing our hands back and forth. "Daddy, are you going to stay with me?"

"Daddy has some work to get done but I'll be back before you know it," I whine leaning closer to him. Daddy picks me up onto his hip before I had time to be sad. He pats my butt softly keeping me calm. "I know. I know. I'd much rather spend the morning with my baby. I promise I'll be back before lunch."

"You better be, Mister," I pout. Hunter kisses my pouty bottom lip making me smile. When we get in the kitchen I see Cody, Alice, Mara, and Cole. I wiggle out of Hunter's arms and run over to the table, "Good morning, Everyone. How was everyone's night?"

"It was good, Emms. How was yours?" Mara ask. Her blonde hair pulled into a loose ponytail showing off her bright green eyes and perfect bone structure. I smile sitting next to her. 

"It was good. So, what are you, me, and Alice doing today? I vote for a movie day in a fort," Alice nods her head quickly. I smile when Daddy walks over holding two plates full of pancakes and sausage. "Thank you, Daddy."

"You are very welcome, Kitten. Make sure you eat good," I nod my head digging in. Daddy took the empty seat next to me pulling my seat closer to his. We both eat smiling at each other happily. When he finishes, he stands up, "Emily, you be a good girl for Mara. Don't listen to Alice."

"Alice, don't be a brat. You don't want to be in trouble today do you?" Cody asks Alice. She shakes her head smiling at him. He chuckles placing a kiss on her forehead before whispering something to her.

"I'll be good, Daddy. You be careful and don't kill anyone," I joke kissing his cheek. Hunter places a kiss on my forehead before following the other two men out of the room. I sigh watching him leave. "Is it normal to feel lost, Alice?"

"Yeah at first but eventually the bond will chill out some and it won't be as bad. Anyway I vote we watch 'Coco' first," Alice says changing the subject. I clap my hands and start to follow her to the living room.

"Where do you two think you are going?" We freeze hearing Mara speak. She stands up crossing her arms. I drop my head and start walking back over to the table until Alice grabbed my arm. She gives me a look and I shake my head before she pulls me through the doorway.  "Get back here. Alice, I will be letting Cody know about this."

"She's bluffing. Mara thinks she's a badass but really she isn't," Alice explains pulling me up the stairs. A feeling of anxiety washed over me as Mara got closer. I tried to pull my hand free but Alice yanked me into another room and locks the door. 

"Alice, what are you doing? I don't want to be in trouble. Daddy's already not in a good mood," I tell her. Mara pounds on the door as Alice turns the tv on ignoring us. I try to open the door but I get pulled over to the bean bags on the floor.

"You don't want to do that. Mara doesn't sound to happy right now," I give Alice a 'really' look. She shrugs scrolling through Netflix. I whimper hearing the sounds outside the door. A few seconds later the door flies open. Mara storms over to us. 

"Alice, go sit in that corner and Emily, go sit in that corner," I scramble over to the corner of the right side of the room. Alice rolled her eyes and keeps looking for a movie. I might sound like a suck up but I just don't want to upset Daddy anymore than he is. "Alice, don't make me call Cody. He's not that far."

"Alice, just do it. It's not that bad," I mumble looking back at her. She sighs but goes to sit in the left corner of the room. We sit there for what feels like forever but it could've only been five minutes. 

"Come here. Both of you," I walk over to Mara with my head down. I've always hated being in trouble. "Do you know why you were in time out?"

"Because, you wanted us to be," I pinch Alice's hand and look up at her. She looks at me like she wants to cry making me feel bad. She breaks down sliding to the floor. Mara and I exchange looks before trying to comfort her. "I don't know how to tell him. I don't know if he'll be happy."

"Alice, what are you talking about? Take a deep breath," Mara tells her. I try to stay calm but soon my own tears start to fall. My heart ached for my new friend seeing her so upset. I hug her tightly crying with her. "Come here. Tell me what's wrong, Sweetie."

"I'm late. I panicked and got Mom to bring me a pregnancy test," Alice mumbles hugging me. I pull back to look at her a smile breaks out across my face. 

"That's wonderful! Why would you be sad about something like this? Cody would be crazy not to be ecstatic," I state smiling at her. Alice looks a little more relieved now that she's told someone. Mara breathes a sigh of relief before smiling brightly pulling us both into a tight hug. "I get to be an aunt! I can't wait to hold that adorable bundle of joy. Do you want me to be there when you tell Cody?"

"Yes please? I need some support," Alice says smiling softly. I squeal again, excitedly. "Thank you so much for being an awesome new sister! I already love you!" 

After talking for a few more minutes we settle into a comfortable silence. That was until we heard three loud, fierce growls and a soft yelp mixed with a whimper.
