Brody noticed the swell in his pants as his eyes widened in shock. Did he get turned on by her? Without her doing anything? Was this how the mate bond worked?
He sat on his king sized bed and took his laptop to reviewed a few documents. His attention was totally diverted to something else (or someone else) as he tried as much as possible to concentrate. After working for about thirty minutes, he sighed and shut his laptop close.
'I think I'm losing it.' He walked out of bed towards the door. Just when he was about to open it, the Omega that was placed at the front of Evie's door showed up. With her eyes glued to the ground, she said "Alpha, the girl is all done." Brody walked past her and went straight to her door. He turned the doorknob and saw her sitting on the edge of the bed. She was all clean and fresh looking now. Her eyes stared down at her fingers as she held them together on her thighs. She was putting on his t-shirt and sweat pants. She looked like a twig in a blanket. Her hair was dark gray in color and it's length touch the bed.
She flinched a little when the door came open for the second time. The first time was when the older girl had come in to check on her. Now, it was that huge guy that had spoken with her earlier. The supposed boss of the bandits.
He approached her and said "C'mon, let's go have lunch. You must be hungry."
'Hungry? I'm starving.' she thought.
The next moment, he took her hand and pulled her to her feet. She had a really shocked expression on her face. She looked at where their hands were joined and she pressed her lips into a thin line. He walked her towards the elevator and into the dinning hall.
The dinning hall had a very long table that could occupy up to twenty-four people. It was like a grand hall where the rich and the elites dine. The illumination and setting was on a whole new level. Although, the setting was somewhat dark themed, it was very attractive and modern.
Evie snapped out of her daze when Brody pulled a chair out for her and made her sit on it. Why was he being so nice? Does this mean she's now in a safe haven?
He sat at the end of the table with her on his right hand side. His Beta on his left with his Gamma beside him.
Evie stared at the feast in front of her as her mouth began to water. She tried as hard as she could to stop herself from drooling. It'd be very embarrassing if she did.
"Evie, you have a really pretty name. My name is Adrian. Would you love to play a game with me after lunch?"
"Cut it out, Adrian. She still needs to get used to things here." Kyle snapped.
"But I'm only trying to be welcoming. Evie, this is the Blood Rose pack and he's our alpha. He's also the supreme alpha of all the packs of this realm. Kyle over here is his grumpy beta and I'm his Gamma. I'd really love for you to be my friend."
"You're talking too much Adrian. She's your Lun-"
'hmph hmph.' Brody cleared his throat to stop Kyle from saying what he was about to spill.
'Apologies.' he said through the mind-link.
Evie was quiet all through but found the ginger colored hair guy quite interesting. He was less domineering than the other two. And did he say that this man was the supreme alpha? She had heard some people in the Chief's house talking about him.
A man in his early forties approached them and put food on their plate. It was a delicious looking steak and sausage meal. She felt the urge to jump on the table and devour every single thing. After serving her food, Brody asked "We eat steak and sausages very often here, are you okay with it?" She nodded her head shyly. 'Am I okay with it? I can eat anything eatable at the moment.' She really didn't want to look like a covetous and greedy person who hadn't eaten in ages. She took the fork with shaky hands (she wasn't nervous to eat it, she was shaking due to weakness caused by hunger). When her fork was about to make contact with the steak, she heard Brody speak "Wait a sec." Before she knew it, her food had disappeared from her sight and had reappeared in front of him.
'What? He took it away?' she cried internally.
"I'll cut it into smaller bits so that you can eat it without stress. Okay?" He said cutting the steak in a skillful manner.
'nod'
He placed the plate of neatly cut steak and sausages back in front of her. Without wasting more time, she started devouring the food till nothing was left. She wasn't quite satisfied. She looked up and saw that no one looked her way and then her eyes met Brody's. Was he staring at her the whole time? It looked like it.
Before she knew it, he swapped her empty plates with his that was still filled with food. He had not tasted a single bite. She stared at the food for a while. Was it okay to eat his food? Wouldn't that be selfish of her? She saw a piece of steak a few millimeters away from her lips. She looked up at Brody who seemed eager for her to open up. 'Is this appropriate?' she thought.
"Come on, open up." She slightly parted her lips and he pushed the fork into her mouth which made the sauce trickle down the side of her lips.
Evie was busy chewing on the juicy steak and didn't notice it. She felt Brody's thumb on the side of her lips wiping off the stain. Her eyes widened in shock and she felt embarrassed for eating so shamelessly. She stared back at the food and continued eating. She ate one more plate of a different dish entirely and emptied the glass of milk Brody had poured for her.
After eating to her satisfaction, Evie leaned back on the chair after which the dishes had been cleared. She stared at her thigh and didn't utter a word as usual. She had no idea why she was treated so nicely.
"Come with me."
