Chapter 116-2 âHave another, Joy told me and reached the plate with lemon squares out to me.
âThank you, but the lemon scent is making me feel a little off,â I confessed and she paled.
âIâm so sorry, I had no idea.â
âItâs okay. I didnât know either. I guess the pup is starting to make its presence known,â I told her. âCarol, have you had one? They are amazing.â
âThey are,â Carol agreed. âI always enjoy them when she makes them for the full moon celebrations.â I nodded and Joy passed the plate to Carol. We talked about easy things, things which wouldnât upset the renewed bond between us. They had greetings from pack members who wanted to say hi. I tried to include Carol in the conversation. She was a nice wolf and I could see her with James, they would be good together.
âSweetheart, we are ready to sign,â Finlay mindlinked me.
âExcuse me a moment,â I said and walked over to the kitchen table with Sam trailing behind me. Finlay reached out his hand and helped me down on his lap. I watched James as I got comfortable. He remained unbothered and I relaxed. Finlay handed me a copy of the final agreement and I read through it. It was a fair alliance agreement and I smiled. âLooks good. Should we sign?â
Finlay and I both signed for our pack and James signed for the Eagle Forest pack. Jake and Elder signed as witnesses.
âNow that is out of the way, letâs celebrate,â James said. It was a great idea and we set the table and cooked a meal together.
Cooking with my mom and Joy again brought back memories and when Finlay joined us to help out they both praised him. The meal was simple but well made and everyone grabbed a plate and took a seat where there was room. This was always my favorite part of a new alliance agreement; the part when the packs mingled and got to know each other. I was sitting in Finlayâs lap, to save on seats according to him, when Mino came walking over on unsteady legs.
âHello,â I said and put my plate on the table. He looked up at me and then reached his hands towards me.
âUp,â he told me with a determined voice. How could I say no to that? With a little help from Finlay, I reached down and pulled him into my lap. âYum,â he said, pointing at my plate.
âYeah, the food is yummy,â I agreed.
âYum, yum,â he said, a little more desperate. I looked over at Becky, who sat a couple of seats away. She smiled and passed me the plate with cut up food she had prepared for Mino. I scooped up some food on a spoon and held it out for him.
âNuhu,â he said, shaking his head and again pointed at my plate.
âSure thing, little guy,â I told him and placed some macânâcheese on my fork and gave it to him. He happily ate it and then looked at me. I got the point and continued to feed him from my plate.
âYou never feed me,â Finlay pointed out in a mindlink.
âYou are a grown man, you can feed yourself Alpha,â I told him.
âIs he bothering you?â Becka asked after a while.
âNot at all,â I told her, making sure my grip around his waist to support him on my lap was good.
âItâs okay to tell him no. He is eating your food,â my brother pointed out.
âI can eat when he is done.â My mom and dad were smiling at us. When Mino was happy, I ate the rest and Finlay made sure to add 1/2 Chapter 116-2 some extra to my plate. My nephew seemed happy in my lap, listen him down on the floor and got up from Finlayâs lap. Mino grabbed âLook,â he said, pointing to the living area.
âYou want me to come and look at something?â I asked. He nodded holding my other hand. When Mino noticed, he stopped and glared and Becky giggled.
to the grownups talk. When It was time to get up, I placed hand.
