me at
the table next to Dad and goes to fill my plate and mug. “Jackson was a
sweetheart and let you sleep in, and then he made you a nice big plate with
lots of bacon.” He set it down in front of me and kissed my cheek again. Dad
watched us. My cheeks heated.
“Don’t be
embarrassed. I’m not. He should be affectionate with his mate. You should
present a united front for the pack. They must believe that you are each
other’s champion and that you have the other’s back. Some wolves will try to
divide the pack alphas for personal gain. Face challenges together. Be each
other’s other half. That goes for you two as well.” He gave Earl a stern look
and then Kelly.
“Yes Daddy.”
Kelly said bringing her plate to the table. She sat next to Earl. He smiled
softly at her.
“Thanks for
breakfast Sis.” I shovel pancake in my mouth. “Our pantry is empty.” She
nodded and sipped her mug of warm milk delicately. Eww. I hope nobody makes
me drink that when I get pregnant. Milk should be cold. Jackson chuckled. He
knew what I was thinking. The disgust was evident on my face. I’m sure.
Shirley knocked as she walked in from the living room. I didn’t hear the front
door. Um…
“Good morning
sweetheart.” Shirley said. My dad kissed her cheek as she leaned down. “Did
you sleep well?” He nodded and she smiled at him then went to the cabinet to
get a plate. I looked at Kel whose eyes had gone round, then at Jackson who
was trying to hide behind his coffee cup. “Is there a problem Summer?” I
shake my head and take a bite of scrambled egg.
“Well maybe. I’m
just surprised, I mean I knew yesterday that you were sweet on each other but I
didn’t expect this. This is a surprise.” I say matter of fact. If Jackson
and I had pulled that trick, neither of us would be sitting here.
“You aren’t
kidding.” Kelly murmured and I giggled. Her cheeks turned pink. She really
needed to learn to control that.
“What does this
mean? Are you going home with him Shirley or was it just a one night kind of
thing?” Shirley sat on my dad’s other side. She took a sip of coffee.
“This is all very
good Kelly.” Shirley lifted her mug in Kelly’s direction and Kelly thanked her.
“I guess you are all wondering about us. To be honest, I’m not sure. I have
my condominium to consider and the bookstore but yes, your father has asked me
to go with him. I’ve told him that I will think about it but I think that yes,
I would like to.” She smiles at my dad who smiles back, it lights his whole
face up and he looks twenty years younger. “I’m not going with him today. I
need to teach you how to do those books that we discussed and how to run the
store. I will have to put my condominium up for sale but I think that I can get
most of that accomplished in two weeks. Brandt?”
“I think that we
can work with that.” He gives her shoulder a squeeze. Am I dreaming this?
Kelly has mated Earl and I think my dad has mated Shirley.
“Did you mark
her?” I couldn’t stop it from popping out of my mouth and Kelly scolds me.
“It’s okay. You
both have the right to know. Not yet he hasn’t but I am going to let him.” My
dad growled then. My eyes snapped up to his face. It was nearly the same
growl that Jackson gives me when he wants to, oh no. I didn’t need to know
that. Jackson is gathering our plates to carry to the sink and Kelly pops up.
Earl pushes her gently back down into her chair and nods at her plate. He
wanted her to eat more. I thought that she should too. She’s pregnant after
all and pups suck a lot out of you.
“I’ll get them
Kelly. You cooked so I will clean. It was delicious by the way. You may cook
for me anytime. In fact…” Jackson gives me a look but I continue. “In fact,
I would like for you to teach me to cook better.” I
