Nicholas POV.
“I want to have the kitten for the night,” I tell my alpha, I want to spend some time with her all alone, all she does during the day is hide under the sofa, on top of the fridge, and sometimes she’ll hide on the shelf in the alpha’s office, not that she knows it’s his office, he’ll leave when she’s hiding there, leaving the office for Zane, who’s her favourite so far, but I want to be her favourite as well.
“She sleeps early,” alpha Mathew answers me, she does sleep early, but I’m sure we can spend some time with her, me and my brother.
“We’ll put her to bed,” I promise the alpha.
“She only sleeps in Zane’s bed,” he says now, Zane has been crashing over Seth’s room until he’s back, but for now he agreed to give her his room.
“I can get her to sleep in my bed, I’ll sleep in Nate’s bed, we don’t mind sharing,” I assure him, we never minded sharing anything, our clothes, our beds, our lovers, we are two faces of one coin, we are one after all just in two bodies.
“She won’t go,” Mathew growls at me, making me roll my eyes at him, he’s just grumpy and in a drinking mood, he’s been drinking ever since we got the little kitten, she’s helping our broken hearts heal, but he doesn’t want us to.
Mathew is hurt, in pain, and on the verge of kicking some people’s bums, he’s worried about trusting again, especially a little kitten like her, one sent straight from hell to us, he’s worried that Lucifer would hurt him, but the king of hell knows better of getting our whole species anger down on him.
‘Nate, help!” I call my brother via our bond, we don’t always allow everyone to hear us, we could have private chats as well.
‘On it,’ Nate says.
“Alpha, as delta’s it’s our job to take care of the pack after the beta, and it’s our job to take care of the new part of the pack. Iris, she can’t be only connected to the beta, we would like to do our job and take care of her for the night,” Nate says, he’s the smarty pants between the two of us.
“Nathaniel,” the alpha growls at my brother, but it takes more than growling to scare me or my brother.
“Alpha, it’s our job, would you like us to not do our job?” my brother says sounding like a diplomatic that we aren’t.
“Fine, take her,” the alpha finally allows us to have her for the night.
“We’ll do the cooking,” I assure the alpha, she hardly eats, but maybe if we talk to her we can manage to get her to eat something.
“Whatever,” the grumpy alpha says leaving the room, ready to go run his anger off, I took off to find the kitten, I bet she’ll eat tonight.
“Hey kitty,” I say finding her on top of her shelf, her tail was moving lazily around, she must be bored staying here all alone the whole day, bored, we need to get her some toys soon.
“Hi,” she answers me waving her hand over her head.
“Wanna come down? Spend time with me?” I ask her finger crossed she’ll agree to come down and spend time with me.
“Okay,” she agrees, giving me her hands ready to come down.
“Hey pretty kitten,” I say holding her in my arms, she’s so precious and small, I just want to keep on holding her and babying her the whole time.
“Hi,” she answers me blushing, her ears going down on her head, she’s acting in such a submissive way, I don’t even recognize her now.
“What does the little one love to eat? Tonight I’m cooking and you can pick whatever you want,” I say hoping that would get her to eat tonight.
“Me wike pizza!” she says happily, I can get her that, pizza isn’t a bad option for dinner.
“We can do that,” I assure her, we can have some home made pizza, it’ll be fun bonding time exactly what we need.
We went toward the kitchen where I started to get all the things I need one handed, my other hand was the one holding the little kitten, I got the flour on in the ball which got her full attention now.
“Me help?” she asks me.
“Of course,” I say setting her over the counter, she was on her knees both hands ready to help me out.
“Start mixing,” I say not minding that she had her hands up to the elbows in the flour, but she is clean, Zane washed her today and she only lays lazily on the shelf. I added the rest of the ingredient, getting her to mix them, until the dough was ready. We put that away and got busy with the topics, we had ready sauce, veggies, and cheese, right now I got Iris getting the olives cut and ready.
“What do you want to add on yours?” I ask her getting her pan ready, she only picked the cheese, nothing else, she doesn’t want any of them.
“Hey, princess, how about after dinner, we watch a movie together? You can sleep in mine and Nate’s room,” I ask her.
“Otay,” she says decorating Zane’s pizza with happy faces made by olives.
