“Umm… You
u, miss Amelie. I can smell the Alpha on you, and you have the Alpha’s mark now” He gestures his head toward my mate mark
Crap, I forget, since we are still at the Ashwood Pack. Here I’m the Alpha’s daughter, but to the Druit Guard, I am their Alpha’s mate and Luna. “Sorry Benjamin, I’m not used to it yet. You don’t have to call me Luna while at Ashwood”
His eyes widen, and a spark of fear shows on his face, “I’m sorry, Luna, I can’t do that. I value my life, and Alpha Gideon would not allow it.”
He’s not wrong, and I cannot merride an Alpha onder, ‘1 understand, but please be mindful when Luna Celeste is around also to use my first name to lessen the confusion. The same you do with my father and Gideon. I always hated all the titles but knew they were necessary to keep order.
“Yes, Luna, do you and Miss Becky need assistance?” He is standing at attention like a solder waiting for my orders. I had a feeling this was just a taste of the world 1 was going to be joining.
“To be honest, your skillet is not suited for the kitchen, I think Becky and I can handle it. This is our battlefield. I wink at him and gesture him out of the kitchen.

“OK, Becky, the men have a heavy training schedale today, so we are going to carb and protein them up! Buttermilk pancakes, bacon, and three cheese scrambled
“What I didn’t say was that these were all lames favorites. It was my way of encouraging him.
We got to work we got both ovens going and got the bacon on sheet pans. We had two griddles plugged in and heating up and two large pans for eggs. Becky kept an eve on the ego, and I man the griddle and pancakes. 1 did about softball size in diameter. This way, there was plenty of room on the plates for everything. Gideon was the Ent one dowIL
“What an honor to have the Luna of the Drait Guard cook for me.” I knew it. He already told his men to call me Luna. He comes around the counter into the ban
“Stop right there, Alpha. When I am in the kitchen, I am in charge! Out! It’s almost done.” Gideon looks at me, stunned. I’m sure no one has ever told him No since becoming an Alpha. He takes another step in. I raise my eyebrow and look right at him. “If you want to eat breakfast, you better get out of my kitchen.”
He shakes his head and retreats. He sits on one of the counter stools and watches. This is no way to treat your Alpha I’ll have to find some way of punishing you later.” He looks at me with a devilish smirk again.
the other Druit Guard know
Ile I can’t help it. I look over, and Benjamin looks terrified someone talked back to Alpha Gideon. “Benjamin, would you please let the food is ready. I let the Ashwood family know.” I want to see Gideon’s reaction when he calls me Luna
, Luna“ Benjamin response. There it is, a big toothy grin. I was
s right.
I set a plate down in front of Gideon over the counter. I lean in close, “you better eat up. Our Alpha will need his strength today… and tonight.” A low growl leaves him, and I see a quick flash of red in his eyes.
Becky fixes a plate for Benjamin, and he turns as red as Becky’s hair. “They are so cute together. I look at Gideon, “I’m glad they found each other. I’m happy you came to train my brother.” I hand Gideon the syrup I made yesterday. “Oh, try this. It’s made with the violets you had with you yesterday.” I turn and get back to my priddles
James is the next to burst in the door, “Did I miss it! It’s still breakfast, right?” I can tell from Isis bedhead he jumped out of bed and bolted down the stairs.
Yeah, it is still breakfast. Sit down” He takes a seat next to Gideon and rubs the sleep from his eyes.
I hand him a plate. “Thanks. He looks up at me, then gratis my arm and pulls me closer. Gideon gets tense for a moment. “What is that!” He is looking at my new
Tames Im about to knock you out if you don’t let go.” He let go of my arm.
Oh, stery, Am. I was just in shock. So, you guys. He nods his bead the shoots me finger guns and winks one eye.
I turn to Godeon, “Please make sure le
ans till he vomits. Then, I turn and stick my tongue out at James.
“Sorry little Alpha, my new Luna says I have to, so I must. The chuckles and slaps James on the back.
James winces, “I’m your beuther Why would you do that to me.” We all laugh, and dad and Celeste come in, and the other two elite knights follow shortly. Everyone
Chapter 30: Breakfast
“DK, Becky, it’s our turn. Let’s eat. Then we can clean up the kitchen. She nods and gets a serving of eggs going for her and me. I also start another pot of coffee. “Oh, dad, are you going to be training with Gideon and James today, or are you going to be in your office?”
“I’ll be in my office. What’s up, kiddo?” He sips his collee,
“I wanted to do some research. I wanted to see if any of the old books would have what I’m looking for.” I flip a few pancakes,
“OK, come over when you are done here. We can talk more. Oh, and kiddo, nice mark” He shoots Gideon a look. Gideon looks away.
“An, this syrup is great. I didn’t think I would tase the violets, but you can,” Gideon is trying to change the subject.
Celeste, on the other hand, wants to stay on topic. “It looks lovely. It suits you well.”
“Thank you. I sent my mom a selfie earlier, and she said the same thing.” Gideon is stiff, not saying a word.
Alpha Gideon, what tree did you get. He turns and looks confused.
“How did you knew it was a tree?”
Celeste giggles and moves her collar to the side. All mates into the Ashwood family receive a tree. Mine is a cherry blossom tree.”
He looks at me, I shrug. I didn’t know that. Dad, how come you never told me that before?”
“We will talk later. Eat your breakfast. So Alpha Gideon, what’s your tree? Dad sips his coffee.
“He has a eucalyptus tree with wide roots. It means strength, protection, and survival.” I say with pride. It’s my mark on him, and I should be proud.
Celeste perks up, “Oh, that is so fitting. Amelie, I’ll be in your father’s office as well. I want to bear more about your mark. I know you already know what it means
Gideon is beat red. It’s the funniest thing. This big tuff Alpha is shy when he’s talking to his mate’s family about their marks. It makes me want to tease him more, but I won’t, not today.
Everyone finishes and leaves. Becky and I are left sitting at the counter stools. I take a sip of coffee, “so, how is everything going with Benjamin?”
She looks up at me and is beaming “Oh, Miss.. I mean, Luna he is just the best. So sweet but a little awkward, but he tries really hard. I never thought I would be muted to an elite warrior. I’m just an omega”
I drop my fork and look at her with my one raised eyebrow; it’s kinda my thing. “Becky, first of all, you don’t have to call me Luna, Second of all, you are more than good enough for him. Third, is he good enough for you? Finally, you are cute, talented, and driven; it doesn’t matter if you are an Omega.
“Thank you. Oh, and I want to call you Luna. I’ll be going back with you and will be part of the Druit Guard. Also, I respect you so much it feels right to call you Luna. I feel natural somehow.” She smiles and sips her coffer.
Tm delighted you are coming with us. It will be nice to have a friend with me. Plus, I have a feeling we are going to revamp all their meals. Also, plant an herb and vegetable garden, flowers too. I’ll have to set up a new workshop as well. I take a deep breaths and think of everything I will have to do when I get to the Druit Guard packhouse Ill also become a mom when I get there.”
“Really! A mom!” I nod.
“Gideon has twin daughters, and they just turned three. I talked to them on face–time last night.” I take another sip of coffee. I look over at Becky, “I think I will
you as my assistant when we first get there. Becky, will you be the Luna’s Beta?” We giggle because there is no such a thing, but she knew what I was trying to
“It would be my honor to be your Beta.” She stands up with her hands on her hips with her chin in the air and chest out, giving her best superhero pose. We both laughed, I was so glad the goddess mated her with Benjamin.
500, it’s time to clean up.” I take one last house. For one, there’s two of everything, so clean–up is a breeze with two sinks and two dishwashers.
sip of coffee, and we go back into the kitchen. Even though this is the family wing kitchen, it’s still more than the average
Once we are done, I check to ensure we have what we need to make lunch later. We need a few more
