When we got to the dining hall, we sat at the head table and omegas came and took our orders. I asked Joshua, “How many cooks do you have?” He shrugged, “Do you want to go see?” I nodded, “I would like that.” I stood up and waited for Joshua to stand. We went to the kitchen and I smiled when I saw the omegas who were in there. They were all joking around, but still working hard. One omega stopped and looked our way, “Beta! How can we help you?” He smiled, “I wanted to introduce you all to my mate, Isabel. She is your Co-Beta. She used to have to cook for her whole pack by herself. She was one of you.” I smiled, “I will always be one of you. I will never be able to forget what I went through; therefore, I will never see myself as more than you.” One lady smiled, “Thank you, Co-Beta. We appreciate that a lot.” Joshua led me back to our table. I stopped suddenly when I saw Gabrielle sniffing the air and looking around. I grabbed Joshua’s arm, “Look at Gabrielle!” He smiled, “Looks like S

Luna Jessie followed me to our suite to see if Alpha Matthew was still where she left him. When we walked in the door, we were met with one of the funniest sights I have ever seen. Joshua was laying on the couch, on his back, holding the remote as far as he could away from his brother, who was on top of Joshua, trying to get at it. Joshua had his feet against his brother’s chest to keep him away from it. I laughed, “You do know that he could easily break your ankles right now if he wanted that remote bad enough.” I was laughing so hard my stomach was hurting and Luna Jessie was just standing next to me, shaking her head, “Give them a day off work together and they revert back to being boys.” I laughed even harder and had to sit down on a nearby chair. By this time, everyone in the room was looking at me and laughing. I asked, “What’s so funny about me?” Joshua laughed, “You have the best laugh ever!” I smiled, “Okay.” I asked, “Would you care to tell me why you two were fighting over

Isabel POV When Joshua got out of the shower, he was looking so good in just his sweatpants that hung low on his hips. When I finally looked at his face, he grinned, “Do you like what you see, love?” I blushed and waved him off, “The homemade bread is still warm. Come and have a slice.” He sat down at the island and I started to cut a slice and he had an indiscernible look. I furrowed my brows and he asked, “Can I have the other end piece?” I laughed, “Your brother said that you would do that.” He laughed, “The end pieces are the best when it’s warm.” I laughed as I shook my head, “You’re too funny.” I checked the oven and pulled out a pan, and took the lid off the pot of mashed potatoes that I had made. When I took the lid off the pan from the oven, the smell filled my kitchen and my mate’s stomach growled loudly. I asked, “You must have worked up an appetite.” He shrugged, “They weren’t as much of a challenge as I thought they would be.” I laughed, “I didn’t think they would be. Any

Before I knew it, we were in a massive outdoor themed store and I was in my own version of heaven. As soon as we walked in, I grabbed Joshua’s hand and jerked him over to the clothes. Joshua laughed, “Whoa babe! You can have anything you want. No need to jerk my arm out of its socket. We have all day, so no need to run around.” I laughed as I blushed, “Sorry. I got excited. I found some t shirts and hoodies that I love. I would love a pink camo hoodie.” He smiled, “Well, let’s get you a couple of them.” He smiled, “I have a feeling we are going to need a cart.” Jessie laughed, “Maybe a couple of them.” I laughed, “I promise, I will do my best to control myself.” When we were finally done with the clothes shopping, we went to the furniture department, and I found the exact coffee table I wanted. It was a huge, tree trunk slab with a tree stump as the base. It had a bear cub carved into the base and a wolf howling carved into the tabletop. I found a pink camo sectional that looked like

Alpha Conner answered, “Can you do chicken fried steak?” I answered, “Sure can. Mashed potatoes, milk gravy, green beans and dinner rolls to go with it?” He replied, “That sounds heavenly, dear. Can we have a peach cobbler for dessert?” I laughed, “I was planning on it. I remember that is your favorite. I will try to get my mate to use his muscles to make some homemade ice cream to go with it.” He laughed, “Tell him what it’s for and I’m sure he won’t have a problem with it.” I laughed, “I will do that. Okay. Can you be here at noon?” He replied, “I can be there I will plan on the meeting lasting a couple hours.” I smiled, “Sounds good. I will now talk to the guys and get them on board. My mate is already on board. He is more than willing to let go of the feud. I think I know how I can get my Alpha to do the same. I do appreciate your willingness to stay open minded.” He chuckled, “The idea that Wednesday could be the last time you cook for me is not an idea that appeals to me. It’s de
