Chapter Friends
POV: Gianna
It’s been a few weeks since Onyx has been home, and I am so happy.
My parents have left for their trip and left me with the Alpha duties. They should be home soon. It’s been almost a week since they left. It is also closer to the Red Moon party we are hosting this year. Mom didn’t tell me how crazy it will be planning it with a newborn, but I will get through this. It just so happens that the Red Moon party is the day before my birthday, so I have a ton of planning to finish.
Onyx is currently napping, I just put him down and I look like a mess. I get a mind link from Aaron saying the King has arrived.
I completely forgot he was coming over for baking lessons and to go over some ideas with each other.
“Aaron, can you stall him for a few minutes. I need to change I have spit up all over me and I look a mess.”
I hear him chuckle and then he agrees. That gives me five minutes.
I rush upstairs and take my lounge clothes off. I grab a pair of black jeans and a black T-shirt I found near the dryer. I rush into the bathroom and brush my hair into a high bun. I brush my teeth quickly before I rush down the stairs and out the front door. I am breathing so hard, but I made it just as they were pulling up. Phew.
“Good morning your majesty.” I bow.
“Good morning, Gianna, you don’t have to address me as your majesty, you can address me as Rasheed. We are friends.” He says.
“Yeah, a friend who’s face I would like to sit on.” I hear in my head. I freak out for a second and realize it was my wolf talking to me. This is the first time I heard her voice. I smirk at the King.
He arches his eyebrow at me, and I just shrug my shoulders. He is with his Beta Trigger, and I invite them in. We head over to my little bakery, and I ask what something is he wants to learn to bake.
“Vanilla cupcakes and peach cobbler.” He says immediately.
“Some of my favorites. You have a great sweet sense.”
I start to grab all the ingredients and I see Trigger pull out a notebook.
“Are you his note taker? I will write them down, so you know how to make it” I chuckle.
“Yes, if you must know.” Trigger says and gives me a cold stare and I laugh more.
Trigger puts away his notebook and sits down next to Rasheed.
“You must come over here Rasheed to actually learn how to make stuff. Would you like an apron?”
“No, men don’t wear aprons!” He says.
I chuckle and he walks over to me I explain how to make peach cobbler first. He prefers the one pot cobbler verses the cobbler with a crust. While we wait, I walk over to the stand mixer and start whipping up some frosting. Trigger walks out to take a call.
“Here try this. How does it taste?”
“Delicious! I’ve been meaning to tell you that your shirt is inside out. I didn’t want to be rude, but I also didn’t want to embarrass you.”
I turn beet red. I excuse myself and fix my shirt.
I come back to Rasheed pouring flour into another stand mixer and is about to turn it on. I rush over to him, and yell “WAIT” but it was too late. Flour was everywhere. We were covered in it. I wipe away the flour from his face at giggle at the tingling sensation I feel.
“Let’s get you cleaned up you can take a shower in my room, and I’ll take one in Onyx’s room while I check on him.” I say.
Trigger brings in some clothes for Rasheed and I show him to my bedroom.
I head over to Onyx’s room, and I am thankful he is still asleep so I can shower quickly. After I am showered
and no more flour is caked in my hair, I put on a summer dress. I hear Onyx start to stir and I head in to change him.
We sit in the recliner, and I start to breast fed him. I am singing a lullaby to him, and I hear the smoothest, deepest, and rich voice come into my ears.
“You have a beautiful voice Gianna” Rasheed says.
I feel my cheeks heat, and a warm sensation in my belly.
“May I hold him?” He asks.
“Sure, please make sure you wash your hands, have you ever held a baby before?”
“No, but I am willing to learn.” He says while he washes his hands.
He comes out and I stand up from the recliner. I tell him to sit down and how to position his arms. I place Onyx in his arms and Rasheed’s face lights up. It was like it was the best feeling in the world to hold Onyx in his arms. Onyx has that effect on people.
I smile and after a few minutes Onyx is fast asleep. I put him in his crib and bump right into Rasheed.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t think you would be that close.”
“It’s ok, I just wanted to see how you lay him in his crib” he says.
I can tell he received a mind link. He grunts and turns to me.
“I’m sorry I must go and handle some things back at my pack. I had a great day with you.” He says.
I smile and we head out of Onyx’s room. We are headed downstairs to the door.
“I had a good day as well I had the Omega’s pack some containers of the cupcakes and peach cobbler for you to take. Have a safe trip back.”
I walked back inside and closed the door, grinning from ear to ear.
“What’s got you smiling so hard, or should I ask who has you smiling so hard?” Storm interrupted.
“I heard my wolf for the first time today, and I think the
King is really hot” I smiled.
“He is, don’t tell your brother I said that. Have you got everything sorted out for the Red Moon Party?” Storm asks with a smirk on her face.
“Almost, my mom didn’t tell me it was going to be this stressful.”
