Wolf Break (Argon pack Book 9)

Part 16

 Luna

I don't believe it, I thought he was doing all of this for me, for us, but he won't even look at me, he didn't look at me naked didn't help me in or out of the bath, I thought it was for me and how I would feel about it but then he got me all worked up in the tub and my hormones were crazy and I know I was giving off omega scent I could smell it myself his hands move down to my ass and I hold my breath thinking he would make a move for sure but then he just walks out the room saying something about food and he will be back in five minutes if I need help, he hasn't looked at my naked body at all, I know I'm bigger than I was and a lot has happened but am I really so unattractive now? I think the hormones get to me because tears start pooling and I sob a little, why am I so close to everything I ever dreamed of and still so far away? I resolve not to cry over this guy anymore he wants to make it work he has this week and then I am gone. Getting out the bath was quite the battle but I finally managed it. I couldn't find a towel but there was one on the warmer just outside the door which I was thankful for as I wrapped it around myself, I walk into the kitchen just as Ezra was about to walk out the room, he looks at me does a double-take and then busies himself serving food.

"I put some PJs on the radiator in your bedroom," he says not looking up from his cooking and I nod silently walking to the bedroom. I pull my new fluffy PJs on and walk back out to the kitchen towel drying my damp hair to find he has already made the table and I plop down into the chair he gestures too.

He puts the food down in front of me and it smells delicious!

"I should have cooked," I say looking down at the food.

"oh, you don't like it?" he says his smile faltering.

"oh no it looks and smells delicious I just mean that, well I'm the omega isn't it my job?"

"not at all we are Mates we both share the jobs and your busy growing little babies," he says with a harsh swallow at the end which makes me slightly concerned

"well let me wash up," I say quickly to distract from the subject.

"oh no absolutely not you will go sit your little booty in the other room and relax."

"were you like this with your other mate?" I ask before thinking and then bite my tongue at my own stupidity but he just takes a seat across from me with a soft sigh.

"I like to think I was a different person, a different wolf back then I am not like that anymore, but yes I knew when she needed to rest and when she was Alright to help with things, growing children is hard and very tiring I know that and I don't want you to push yourself in any way" I nod silently taking a bite from my food and instantly wanting to shove my face into the plate.

"you're a good cook," I mumble.

"I can cook chicken, don't try anything else I try to make" he says with a smile.

"that bad huh?" I couldn't cook at all but I wanted to learn so as a mating present she bought me, cooking classes, I would go every week and we would keep cooking the same meal over and over till I got good at it and then we would try something else the next week, the first time I managed to cook chicken the chief was that impressed I actually cooked something we just kept working around different types of chicken, I never got past that and onto anything else. I stopped the lessons after I lost her it was too painful."

"would you like me to teach you some things? The rare few times my old alpha would let me out I taught cooking classes for the pack." I say and then bite my tongue again feeling like I shouldn't be intruding in such a delicate thought but instead his eyes light up with excitement as he looks at me.

"really you would do that?" he asks bouncing in his chair slightly.

"yes, how about we start with dessert so you can make a full mean," I say with a small giggle and he looks like a kid on Christmas morning.

"I will get ingredients tomorrow" he says with an excited smile.

"I will write you a list, now eat before it gets cold," I say with a smile and we both tuck in, by the end of dinner I am feeling a lot more content so when I dismiss myself to sit on the sofa I'm not quite so upset when a few minutes later Ezra comes in and sits across from me despite there being space on the sofa, I remind myself its a week trial and that right now he has a lot to prove.

"what do you want to watch?" I ask.

"it's your choice," he says turning his full attention to me and I shiver slightly.

"you cold?" he asks and I nod he grabs a blanket from the back of the couch and brings it over to me, I sit forward as he drops it behind my back and pulls it around my shoulders sitting down next to me, I place my head on his shoulder without thinking but after a second he wraps his arm around me and I feel warm and comfortable I have to keep reminding myself what he has done and why I should not be so happy around him but none the less everything just seems to drop into place around him, the babies seem much calmer and I feel more at rest as well as my pain being better, I don't have much time to dwell on this though as I drift off to sleep.
