“And you’re permanently banned from there.” I smirk. “But, luckily, I have not, so Maia and I will have a good time.”
The Lunar Melt Fondue House is an amazing restaurant in the centre of our pack lands. It’s wolf-owned, which makes it all the more impressive that my idiotic brother is banned. It’s a delicious fondue place with some very impressive courses. I have no doubt that Maia will enjoy herself, and it’ll give us a chance to bond a little more intimately.
“I hate you.” My youngest brother glowers at me and actually snarls.
“Good,” Seb says with a nod. “Mate enjoy.”
Ben and I exchange a look and burst out laughing. Seb rolls his eyes and turns around to sort out his toast. I will call the restaurant once I’ve calmed down and book a table for three.
“I come.” I narrow my eyes at Seb’s serious tone of voice.
“Let Kane explain,” I mutter, rubbing at my temples.
Their switch is so seamless I don’t even feel the energy shift. “You will be distracted. We’ll come keep watch and stay out of sight. My mate deserves a night off, and I will make sure she enjoys herself.”
Ben sits up straighter. “It makes sense. I doubt anything is going to happen, but with the house locked down as much as it is, the next best thing to do is target her whilst you’re on the move.”
I nod. “Fine.” I look over at Seb and nod once more. “Do not be seen. I won’t lie to Maia if she asks, but I know she’ll feel guilty and invite you in.”
“And you don’t want to feed your poor brother?” Ben asks, his tone dripping with mock sadness. “I see how it is.”
“Good. We all know you’d be the first I sacrificed if need be.”
He snorts. “Don’t worry, Toph, the three of us feel that way about you.”
I roll my eyes and head out of the kitchen to go and find Alex.
But Ben’s words might have been as much of a lie as mine... because we all know I would be the first to sacrifice myself if it would save my brothers.
“Ugh. I wish you would listen to me when it comes to self-preservation.”
“What you’re forgetting, O,” I murmur, dropping down opposite Alex. “Is that we’re nothing without our brothers.”
The restaurant is busy, and I’m glad I booked in advance. I nod my head to wolves as we pass, and they’re all beaming in excitement at both seeing me and also seeing Maia and Phoebe out in public.
The hostess leaves us at the table and lets us know our server will be over in a moment.
The strong smells of cheese, chocolate, and meat is a little overwhelming and causes my stomach to grumble.
I’m ready to eat, but more than that—I’m ready for my mate to enjoy herself, get a good meal, and relax.
“You get yourself sat down,” I demand, giving my beautiful mate a very stern look. She’s frowning and eyes Phoebe in my arms before dropping down into the booth with a heavy sigh.
I smile. “Good girl.”
I sit down opposite her and cuddle Phoebe in my arms. Our infant is wearing a bright red dress that is absolutely beautiful. She’s got a matching bow in her hair, and the tights she’s wearing are a weird shimmery colour that entrances her whenever she sees her own feet.
When she and Maia woke up from their shared nap, I—with the help of my brothers—whisked Phoebe from her mother to let Maia shower and get ready for our date. Phoebe was a beautiful angel, as per usual, and had great fun playing with us in wolf form.
“You’re beautiful,” I say, trying to soothe my anxious mate. She’s nibbling on her bottom lip, her eyes trained on the hold I have on Phoebe.
Her nerves are overwhelming both me and Orion, but underneath that, there’s a genuine fear.
And, that, we cannot withstand.
“I can take her,” Maia offers. “At least when food comes, anyway.”
Like Phoebe, Maia is wearing a stunning red dress. It hugs her figure, and my brothers and I were stunned into silence when she walked down the stairs. Her curly black hair has a little tied up on the top, but the rest is hanging loose, framing her face.
