Heathen.

After checking everything out which was a lot considering Aries might have bought the whole isle of treats, we finally headed home.

"Heathen, when is your sister arriving?" I didn't reply only gestured. "Okay evening-ish, so no worry about lunch then." I won't ask how he knew, I simply drove toward the pack.

"What would you like for lunch and it's not a snack, you're having a meal, baked potatoes, and lamb chops." I nod without hesitation.

"Okay then, you're going to have to help." I already was, I loved cooking with the feisty little thing. So we drove to my home with him rambling on about books and pirates on the Caribbean or is it of the Caribbean.

"Okay so I need to make your lunch quick, so I can make dinner in time, come on, help me carry these bags inside." Somehow having Aries here made me feel happy.

He brought life to the house and I liked it, though he left at some point and left me gloomy, being around him just made everything better and I could smile.

"Defrost the chops, I will start with the potatoes." I was an alpha and so was my wolf, yet being ordered by the wolf in front of us, made him do it without questions.

>Bud, you like Aries ordering you around, huhOnly him, the rest no.I want to mark him too bud, but we have to wait<

He whines but none the less agreed to wait, Aries and I had to slowly get there on both our ends to make this fire between us a real blaze with warmth.

I wanted more and like always he knew, I was served more, I could get used to this. "Heathen, slow down, you'll choke." I think I got chastised like a child, but it was so good.

"Put the pout away and stop whining you're twenty-nine." But that didn't mean I couldn't be myself, I was childish at some point before life screwed me over and with him, that child came out.

After lunch, we cleaned up. "Go invite Axel and Danny for dinner." But I could do it with a link, he looked up at me. "I know you can do it with the link, I just want those three servings of lunch to be digested by the time dinner is ready."

I groan getting my jacket, left a kiss on top of his head, and walked out to Danny and Axel's home. I'm sure they're going to be surprised by me walking to their house like this.

I was glad Aries and I had an almost clear path to get to what we wanted, and I'm sure we were working on forever.

I knocked on the house and the door was swung open by Danny. "Hey Heathen, what brings you? Come for dinner?" I shook my head.

"Come on in then!" Axel walked downstairs, his hair wet, must have come from a shower.

"No, thank you, Aries wants you over for dinner, my sister is coming too, he wants you there." Axel and Danny laugh.

"He got you to walk over here, for that." I groan glaring at Axel. "You could've used the link." Danny spoke up. "He wanted me to exercise and process lunch before dinner." They laugh again.

"I really like Aries more than ever now, anyway we'll be there soon, thanks for the invite, though I wonder why you didn't tell us your sister was coming." I just did, dumbass.

I huff and nod to Danny. "We'll be there soon, don't worry." I nod to Danny and walked back to the road.

This was going to be an interesting dinner.
