Step Brothers

A Normal Dinner

I let out a breath I didn't even know I was holding in the first place. There was no way they just had that conversation. About me. Keaton talked about my Heat too...that's just so embarrassing! I literally haven't thought about that for such a long time, and the fact that he brought it up was even worse. Mom always told me I didn't need to worry about it and it'd happen when it did. She never really elaborated over that and we hadn't really started that unit in school yet, the one where our health teachers get to explain to us the dynamics of an Omega and Alpha. It's not like I don't know anything about this subject, it's just that I don't know a ton. It makes me anxious thinking about it, that's the main reason why mom told me not to worry about it until it happened. Now that I've heard it from them...it makes me even more anxious than before! They just kept talking about me in such a weird way...I don't really understand it either. 

I regained myself before shakily making my way down the stairs as quietly as possible. They can't know I heard their entire conversation. It would make things so awkward and what if they...do things...if they found out? I don't know what they would do...it just makes me nervous thinking about it. 

I subconsciously nibbled on the inside of my cheek as I focused on the scent of food now. I just needed to forget about them for a little bit and try to calm myself down. With a small breath, I enter a room which I learned was just the dining room. There was a large table in the center of the room with three chairs on both sides and one at the heads of each side. It was a nicely decorated room and brightly lit with a window that looked to their backyard which was beautifully kept. This was probably the most cliche rich person house ever. With the butlers...the maze like house...all the different rooms, I could keep going on and on about that.

I noticed mom and Akillina were sitting at the end of the dining table with their fingers interlocked. Akillina sat at the head of the table and mom sat in the seat closest to her. They seemed to get along well with each other which was all that matters. The moment mom was unhappy was the day I suggest we get out of here.  

"Hey bud, come take a seat," Mom smiled as she patted the seat next to her. I obeyed and sat down on the edge of the chair, nervously tapping my foot. It would be an understatement to say I was just 'nervous' about being around the brothers. I don't think I could look them in the eyes after what I heard them say. 

A couple of butlers had come in and out of the dining room, placing a ton of food on the table. Everything seemed too much. It all looked delicious, since I was incredibly hungry anyways, but I don't think I'd even eat everything I'd get on my plate. 

Mom and Akillina had carried on with their conversation that seemed to keep fading in and out for me. I couldn't seem to focus on anything right now- nothing but them. Focusing on them wasn't a good thing either, I was incredibly nervous to be so close to them. I feel like they'd be able to tell if something was wrong with me...they are Alphas after all, I wouldn't doubt something like that. It just puts me on edge...and with their scents affecting me so much, I don't know if I could even bare being in the same room as them for long. 

After the final butler came in and put down everyone's drinks, the boys had entered the room through the side door which I assumed led to the kitchen. Keaton and Raiden were whispering something to each other while Marshal gave Grant a hard elbow to the stomach as they entered the room. It only caused Grant to return the favor before Akillina growled at them angrily. The boys didn't pay attention to that though. They all stopped in their tracks and focused their eyes directly on me. 

I tensed up as I felt myself being observed by them. I can only imagine the types of thoughts going through their heads. In fact, I don't want to imagine those thoughts. I just need to ignore them and have a nice meal. Then I can go to sleep and mind my own business the rest of my life.
