Breakfast in the pack

"Nina, you have met my Beta, Axel, and his mate, Claire. You could make her your Beta. She is very reliable." Axel and Claire who sat next to each other waved at her, their faces filled with smiles.

Nina wondered if it was possible to have two Betas. In her pack, it could not be more than one.

Ezra then walked her to a woman, dark haired and blue eyes. She seemed a little older than the people there. While they all appeared to be in their twenties, she looked like she already crossed thirty.

"This is my mother, Elder Michelle, the former Luna of this pack." Ezra introduced, and Nina offered a slight respectful bow to her.

"I am happy to meet you, Elder Michelle."

Michelle stood up and enclosed her in a warm motherly hug that made her body tense. She felt too warm, too homely, reminding her of all the things she could not get from her own parents.

"You seem like a sweet child." Michelle said to her softly. "Please let me know whenever Ezra is giving you a hard time."

Nina smiled, the woman's warmth seemed to shake a nerve inside of her, and she was suddenly emotional. She tried to hold back the emotions as she didn't want to spoil the joyful mood.

Ezra then led her to a man, that looked to be his and Axel's age. "This is Daniel, my Gamma."

Daniel stood up, offered a polite bow to her, before speaking. "It is a delight to finally meet you, Luna." He then sat back down. He seemed like a cool and calm guy, and he was the one that spoke the least.

He then walked her to young boy and girl that seemed to be in their teenage ages. "These are my cousins, Bella and Patrick. They are twins, and they live with my mother, close to the packhouse."

She wanted to ask why they didn't stay in the pack house, but she decided to keep it for later. Ezra then led her to an empty chair, pulling it out for her. She was shocked at the gentlemanly gesture, but she concluded that he was trying to be proper in the presence of his mother.

Delicacies of different kinds filled the table, and everyone served themselves. It was going to take a while before she got used their way.

"Don't be shy child. Grab anything you want." Michelle cheerfully offered, and a blush painted Nina's cheeks. "And you Ezra, do I have to remind you to make sure that she is well fed? You should be the one filling her plate." She fumed at her son.

"We just joined the table, mom." Ezra responded in a dry tone.

"You should learn a thing or two from Axel."

Nina then looked over at Axel. He was happily filling his mate's plate and also feeding and teasing her. At that moment, he dropped the spoon and used his thumb to wipe the side of Claire's mouth.

"As big as you are, you still do not know how to eat." He teased and she bit his hand. Nina laughed.

Ezra shook his head vehemently. "Anybody but Axel and Claire." He could not imagine himself being all smitten by someone every time of the day.

The table burst into laughter, making Nina feel like she had been transported into another world. These people were just too different from her people.

"Excuse us please." Axel said, standing up, holding Claire's hand.

From the look everyone gave them, Nina could tell that they could all tell what they were going to do, and they were used to it. She chuckled.

"Look at them, always hungry, never satiated." Ezra shouted after them, but they just waved without turning back to him. "Not like you didn't already do it this morning."

They laughed again, and Nina felt like asking him how he knew.

"Just remember to give her a rest regularly." Michelle added, and the laughter continued.

"Claire does not need any rest, I assure you." Daniel chimed in, amplifying the laughter. Meanwhile Axel and Claire only hastened their pace.

"Open your mouth." Nina suddenly heard Ezra's voice, and she was surprised to find him holding a spoon to her mouth. "Eat."

She blinked severally. She felt like saying something, but decided against it, for the sake of his mother watching them. She then opened her mouth to take the food.

Michelle suddenly stood up and walked towards them. She came to stand at the back of Nina, staring at her shoulder. Nina already knew what she was looking for, and she was unfortunate as she had worn a tank top with slim hands.

"He hasn't marked you yet?"

"Oh, I forgot to tell you that the Luna ceremony will no longer take place today." Ezra informed her in a disinterested tone.

We didn't consummate the marriage." Nina answered this time, and Michelle's gaze narrowed at Ezra.

"She said she wasn't ready." Ezra stated as he continued feeding Nina. This was one very awkward breakfast.

"You must have done something to her. I hope you are not treating her badly. I didn't raise you that way. Nina dear, did he do something to you?"

Nina stared at Ezra, all others eyes around the table were on her. She wondered if she should tell his mother what he did. He might not like it, but he deserved the trouble anyway.

"He just need to learn to be a little more respectful." She smiled softly at Michelle, then gave Ezra a knowing look.

"I am sorry if he did something to wrong you my dear. Please pardon him for my sake. I will talk to my son later." She then glared at Ezra.

"And Ezra, you should have told me earlier that the Luna ceremony would not be taking place tonight like we planned. You would have easily mind-linked or call me. The omegas are already setting things in place, the elders are coming, perhaps they are even on their way. You shouldn't play with us like this Ezra. Why would you even decide that the ceremony would be tonight when you are not absolutely sure?"

Ezra glanced at Nina, his brows narrowed at her before turning back to his mother.

"I am sorry mom. Please get the elders to return to their homes."

"I believe they will not. They will like to meet Nina anyway, as you didn't invite them for your wedding. You didn't even stay to see the ones that later came, just out of respect for you." She scolded.

So he as the Alpha had a wedding, and he didn't invite the elders in his pack?

"I am sorry mom, but you know why I did not invite them." They both shared a look, as if they were silently communicating. Nina guessed they were doing so through the mind link.

Michelle then went back to finish her breakfast, while the table continued being as cheerful as it was.

The people around the table soon began to leave, and Nina and Ezra were the last remaining.

"Why did you do that?" Ezra asked as he turned to her, but Nina just shrugged.

"She wanted the truth."

"I don't like that."

"Then perhaps next time you think of chaining me to your bed like an animal, you should reconsider."

His gaze narrowed at her, and she wondered what he would do next.

"Perhaps you liked it. That is why you keep provoking me. You want to be chained up again." His hand came to her thigh suddenly, making her jolt, while his gaze was on her face, looking all innocent. He moved his hand under her skirt, grazing along the insides of her thighs, moving his hand towards her center, and she couldn't help but worry about the omegas walking around, carrying out their tasks.

"Alpha, stop it. They might be watch..." He squeezed one thigh, and she couldn't help but press her legs together. She couldn't believe that she could feel herself already getting wet.

"If you beg me to stop, I will."

She rolled her eyes. "Please stop." She uttered dryly.

She then felt his hand on her crotch, tracing the line of her panties. "I don't like when you roll your eyes at me."

Nina shifted uncomfortably on the chair, and what was worse was just an omega was approaching, probably to clear the table, yet...

"Alpha, please." She placed her hands on top of his, wanting to pull it out, but it only seemed to amuse him.

"I am permitted to do this right?" He chuckled. "Don't worry, no one would know. That's if you fix your expression though."

Nina was torn. She wanted to pull his hand away, yet she felt the desire to just widen her legs and let him do whatever he wanted.

Ezra then slipped his fingers inside her panties, resting it on her pussy. "I have stopped now."

The omega came, and Nina did her best not to squirm in a desperate attempt to get his hand out of or inside her pussy.

The omega then cleared the table. If she noticed anything, she did well not to show it. After she had left, Ezra pulled his hand out of her, and her center clenched feeling the sudden absence.

He stood up and took her hand. "Come with me."
