“The attic is big enough for an insane nest,” Ezra added in. “Fit for a queen.”
I’d always suppressed my heats and had never had a chance to truly nest. Sure, I had my cozy little corners but having a full room to make perfect for me? That sounded like a dream come true.
“We’ve got time, Ellie, but this is our next step. Everything is changing and we need the space. We’re an official pack now and this is the next step to make it work.
My throat tightened with tears and I blinked down at my food, realizing what they were giving me. This wasn’t just reassurance but total and complete acceptance. They had already decided that I was their future and were making sure I felt the same.
It sounded like a fairytale to me.
Ellie
Soft touches skimmed over my body, waking me from a sound sleep. They kept the touches innocent until I had finally blinked open my eyes.
Ezra was on his side facing me, teasing me with his fingertips, a lazy smirk on his face. A quick glance around told me that we were the only ones in bed still.
“Where is everyone?” I asked, my voice still rough with sleep.
We’d spent an amazing weekend together out on the lake and now it was time to get back to reality.
“The twins had a showing today, something about neighboring houses, I don’t know. And Collin had to meet someone for a delivery. We’re all going to meet at the diner in about,” he checks his watch, “an hour. That means we have to get up.”
“Or we could stay. I’ve heard this bed is a fun place to be.” I patted the sheets lovingly as memories of last night filled my mind.
They showed me the house and I loved it. One step inside and I had a million ideas of what to do to make it perfect. With the visual, all of the pictures they were painting for me now made sense.
The future didn’t seem so uncertain knowing that I didn’t have to face it alone. We had a pack house and had fallen into pack life seamlessly.
The moment I’d seen the property I’d fallen in love with it. There was enough space that I knew I could start growing some herbs of my own. I’d still use Poppy as a main source but there was something about planting a seed and seeing it through.
Ezra tugged at my blanket and brought me back to the present.
“Fine, fine,” I finally mumbled when he wasn’t giving into my advances. At least it didn’t feel like a rejection, only a rain check.
Ezra didn’t bother to move until I was out of the bed and heading for the shower.
“I’m going to go make coffee. You’re grumpy before coffee,” he teased as he went to the kitchen.
With the prospect of caffeine, I managed to get showered and dressed quicker than usual.
He pressed a steaming mug into my hand the moment I passed over the threshold into the kitchen. I didn’t even bother to test it, knowing he made it perfectly, before I took a long pull of the warm liquid.
He didn’t bother to talk to me again, giving me time to enjoy my coffee.
When I put the empty mug back in the sink I finally turned my attention to him.
“Okay, I’m online now,” I promised. “Did you guys figure out who is going to be able to help me get Tori moved in? She’s supposed to be in town around two.”
“Yeah, I got some extra help at the diner and the twins will be back by then. Collin said he’d definitely be by and we have Micah. We’ll have it covered.”
“I appreciate it,” I said sincerely. She was my sister and her cutting off my parents was a huge deal.
He shrugged at my gratitude. “We’re a pack now, you don’t have to thank us for being there for you. Support is part of the pack process.”
“When did you become such a pack expert? If I recall the first time you told me you were interested you said you didn’t know what you were doing.”
“I’m a quick learner,” he said with a smirk before smacking me on the ass. “Now get your shit together. We’re going to be late.”
I rolled my eyes. “There’s the alpha I know,” I joked, dutifully following him out of the door, only pausing to grab my jacket.
