The Stained Omega by Elle T Jefferson

It’s pretty early so I actually have the kitchen to myself, the pups are still in bed and I can hear James walking around in the room above me. Since getting the pups back I’ve been insisting that the Pack gets back to normal, I didn’t want Aurora coming home to a completely different home. It is different though, I can’t help but remember the many mornings I stood in this exact spot waiting for the coffee machine to finish brewing. The big difference being that I never used to be alone, momma Beth was always either at the table waiting for her own coffee or pottering away in the kitchen sorting one thing or another. The beep of the machine pulls me out of my memories and I quickly pour two cups of dark Colombian roast. I doctor mine with creamer and sugar but I leave Fraction’s as is. He didn’t come to bed again last night so I know he will need it.

Just as I turn to leave the kitchen with both cups in my hands the back door opens and a rather wet looking Bellamy comes walking in.

“Oh.” He stops looking at me with wide eyes, I guess he didn’t expect to see anyone in here. “Morning, Luna.”

“Bellamy, if you live in this home you will call me Anna, none of this Luna stuff.” I tell him with a smile as I lift my cup up to my nose inhaling the smell, “there’s still a cup in the machine if you want it.” Bellamy just nods at me as he wipes at his bare charts, judging by the jeans and no shoes I gather he just got back from shifting.

“Was on patrol,” Bellamy tells me, walking over to the coffee machine, his tone makes it sound like he has to justify himself to me. I put the coffee cups on the counter and wait until he’s finished making his coffee.

If you don’t want to patrol then don’t, we have enough warriors and I’m sure we can fill your spot.” Bellamy just looks at me as I tell him he doesn’t have to do something he’s been asked to do. “That nice new mate mark on your neck shows that James knows exactly what he has done and you aren’t going anywhere, as for living with an Alpha and Luna?
