Chapter five

Mia‟s pov

It was Saturday and instead of training or relaxing, I was in Britney‟s room helping her pack her things so she could move into her new home with Cole.

Not that I minded helping, I could have been better help if she had called after she finished packing so we could carry her things to her car and into the house but no, she had to wake me up at six bloody thirty in the morning to help her pack.

“I‟m not packing this” I said holding up an ugly grey shirt, “hey! I love that shirt” she said grabbing it from me. “Oh hell no!” I said taking it back, running to the open window, "Mia!” she exclaimed freezing on the spot as I dangled the shirt out the window, “don‟t you dare” she warned and I just smirked.

“It‟s ugly and it‟s getting thrown out like the trash it is” I said waving a finger in the air. “Honey I love you but I have to agree, that shirt is ugly” her mother said coming into the room, “mom!” she exclaimed with wide eyes, “what? It‟s an ugly shirt, honestly, I don‟t know how it even lasted that long, I thought I‟d thrown it out” she muttered the last part making me giggle.

“I don‟t care what either of you think, I like that shirt now bring it back right now!” she said with a glare, rolling my eyes, I let go and the shirt flew from the third floor of the pack house.

I knew she could get it if she wanted it that bad but Britney had a thing for dirt, which is why she didn‟t like training out in the field but in the gym instead.

I figured it was from when she was younger and got sick a lot, “Mia!” she yelled running to the window where I stood with a smug expression, she pushed me to the side and looked out the window with a frown, “you‟re a jerk” she said with a huff standing straight, she looked out the window one more time before going back to packing, “that was one way to get rid of it, thank you Mia, couldn‟t stand the sight of that ugly thing” she said to which Britney glared at her.

“You‟re most welcome Aunt Amanda, who got her that shirt anyway?” I asked smirking at an irritated Britney, “I believe that was her father‟s attempt at keeping boys away” she said with a chuckle and I laughed right with her while Britney simply rolled her eyes at us.

“I‟d say it was a failed mission” I said going back to folding and packing her clothes, “yes I agree, Cole certainly noticed her” Aunt Amanda said, now teasing her daughter and if the blush on her cheeks wasn‟t indication enough that it was working then her annoyed groan was, “would you two stop” she said refusing to even look at us.

“That boy would have thought my daughter gorgeous dressed in rags” Aunt Amanda said with a hearty laugh, “or the shirt isn‟t as bad as you say it is” Britney countered.

“Oh honey it‟s ugly, you just can never do no wrong in Cole‟s eyes” I said making her blush harder, “enough, get back to work!” she shrieked rushing into her bathroom, making me and Aunt Amanda burst into hysterical giggles.

We finished packing her things and boy did this girl has clothes, I was so tired I almost fell asleep on her bed while we waited for the guys to come get the boxes and bags, I was not about to carry all this stuff down two floors.

The guys knocked before coming in, Cole going straight for his mate before noticing anyone else in the room, especially Aunt Amanda, “I am right here” she said with a playful glare and Britney blushed a bright red, “oh, I, uhm, didn‟t see you there Mrs Richards, hi” Cole said with a stutter.

“Yes I know all about newly mated wolves but do try to contain yourself young man, especially in front of her father, he will murder you” she said muttering the last part but we heard her clear as day.

“Mom!” Britney groaned shaking her head, “oh would you look at the time, I have to go find your father” she said walking toward the door, “oh, and young man, don‟t get my daughter pregnant, I‟m too young to be a grandmother” she said stopping by the door, “mother!” Britney screamed while we laughed at the interaction.

“I‟ll try my best not to” Cole said making Aunt Amanda wink at him and Britney cover her face with her hands while I doubled over in laughter on her bed.

“Britney! Your mom is awesome, why were you hiding her all this time?” Wade asked still laughing, “if I‟d known she was this amazing, I would have made her adopt me” he said finally calming down.

“Shut up and get to work” Britney said rolling her eyes while still blushing, Cole gave her a kiss and the guys started carrying the boxes.

Trevor came in and dropped on the bed beside me, coming back for the fourth time, “goddess Britney, how much stuff can one person have” he groaned burying his head in my stomach, making me giggle.

“I‟m a girl okay, I have to have a lot of things” she said shrugging like it was so normal to have this many things, “I don‟t” I countered and she smirked, “you‟re half a girl, you know, a girl by default” she said flipping her hair.

I gasped, “excuse me!” I yelled, lifting an eyebrow, Trevor laughed, making me shove his head away, “what did I do?” he pouted and I huffed, putting my hands on my stomach so he couldn‟t lay his head there.

Wade walked in and also threw himself on the bed, “this bed is not big enough for the three of us” I complained and Wade only got comfortable, “Trevor‟s been here longer than me so he can get off” Wade said and I looked at Trevor, waiting for him to leave, “Mia‟s been here longer, not me” he said yanking my hands off of my stomach and placing his head back on it, “I was here first!” I exclaimed rolling my eyes, “I‟m not going anywhere, this is my territory” I clarified. 

“Yeah, this is my room and that‟s my bed, you can‟t claim it” Britney said crossing her arms over her chest with a smirk, Cole walked in at that moment, instantly taking Britney‟s attention from me.

“You have a lot of things Brit” he commented plopping down on a chair next to the dresser, to which she nervously chuckled, “it‟s not that much” she said looking away from him, “yes it is!” Trevor and Wade said at the same time, “whatever” she said picking up her makeup bag and walking out.

We spent the rest of the morning moving Britney‟s things to her new home and once we finished, I immediately went to find food, I was starving. When I got to the pack house, I went straight to the kitchen and found a few omegas who were preparing lunch for the pack, I said my helloes and asked if there was any food ready to eat and they just laughed, “we missed your healthy appetite at breakfast” one of the older ones, Nika, said with a bright smile bringing me a full plate of breakfast food, making my mouth water.

“Your dad said to save you a plate because when you were done helping Britney, you‟d come straight here” Vanessa, the head omega said placing a glass of juice on the counter I was sitting, thank you dad, I thought grabbing a sausage.

Wade came and sat next to me, eyeing my plate, “that looks really good” he said taking a pancake; he moved so fast I didn‟t get a chance to stop him, “get your own food!” I growled using my hands as a protective barrier around my plate.

“Stop hogging the plate and share” he said going to grab something else from my plate and I slapped his hands, “this is mine! Get your own!” I said pushing off the chair, taking my food and escaping, “real mature!” he called after me but I didn‟t care, I wasn‟t about to share my food after the morning I‟ve had, not that I would share if the circumstances were different.

I went into the entertainment room, knowing no one would think to look for me there and said a silent prayer of gratitude to the goddess when I saw it was empty, placed my food on the coffee table, grabbed the remote and flipped through the channels trying to find something interesting to watch.

I settled on grey‟s anatomy, continuing where I left of, sank into the couch and continued with my meal.

“Where are you?” Trevor asked about half way through the episode I was watching, food long gone and hunger sated, “entertainment room” I linked back and got a “coming” for a response.

He walked in a couple of minutes later, carrying a couple of bags of chips, chocolate and some sodas, I beamed at him as he walked up to the couch, “if you are not the most amazing wolf I‟ve ever met, I don‟t know who is” I said as he sat next to me, putting the snacks on the table.

“Please don‟t clap, no, no keep going” he said with a smug smile, making me laugh and hit his shoulder playfully.

After the episode ended, we wrestled for the remote because he wanted to watch something with more drama, guns and guts spilling, “I was here first so I get to choose what we watch” I huffed trying to reach for the remote he held above my head, “not that again” he rolled his eyes and I glared at him.

“I brought the snacks and I let you finish your stupid episode” he said throwing his hands up, “it is not stupid!” I sighed dramatically, “let me pick what we watch now then you can pick after, deal?” he proposed and I stood there for a minute, thinking it through, “alright, you got yourself a deal” I said sitting back on the couch.

We got comfortable as he picked an action movie and we watched while eating the junk food he‟d brought and when the movie ended, I picked the next movie and that‟s what we did for the rest of the afternoon.

My stomach was literally begging me for food by the time we decided to end our movie marathon, “I‟m so hungry” I whined burying my face in his chest, “you‟re always hungry” he said laughing but didn‟t push me away.

“Come on, I‟m sure Vanessa can give us a little something before dinner” he said getting up and I threw my hands up like a baby, “I‟m too hungry to walk, carry me” I pleaded in a baby voice, which only made him laugh and turn around offering his back for a piggy back ride. I quickly hopped on his back and clung to him like a baby koala, “you sure move fast for someone who‟s „too hungry to walk‟” he mocked, adjusting me and putting his hands under my legs.

“Quit complaining and let‟s go get something to eat” I said hopping on his back like horse riders do, shaking his head, he brought us to the kitchen where we found the omegas preparing dinner, the smell of roast chicken filling the entire place.

“We were just talking about you” Trisha said with a smile, she was one of the younger omegas who opted to take up kitchen duty than join the warriors, though omegas are still trained to defend themselves, their training is not as intense as ours.

“We knew you two would come asking for food when you skipped lunch” Vanessa chuckled putting two plates of sandwiches and fries while Trisha place two cans of soda.

“Oh, thank you, I was dying of hunger, you two ladies, were sent from the goddess herself to save me” I said making the whole kitchen staff laugh.

“Trevor feed me” I said opening my mouth, “I have my own stomach to feed” he said popping a fry into his mouth, “but I‟m too tired and so weak from the hunger” I said putting my head on his shoulder.

He ignored me and just kept eating, “Trevor, feed me” I said into his ear, “Trevor feed me” I said again and even though he just kept ignoring me, I knew his wolf was getting irritated.

I said it over and over again until he glared at me, “I‟m not going to stop until you feed me” I said with a shrug, he rubbed his nose with a huff but began to feed me.

I heard Vanessa laugh and my gaze shifted to her, “I wouldn‟t be surprised if the two of you turned out to be mates” she said shaking her head.

Trevor and I looked at each before we burst out laughing, “yeah, you‟re cute and all but you‟re not all that. Certainly not enough to get my engine going” I teased with a laugh. “Excuse me? Cute but not all that? Have you looked at all this smoke? I could bring you to your knees, but I won‟t because you‟re insufferable and annoying” he said bringing the can of soda to my mouth.

I took a sip and rolled my eyes at him, “arrogant jerk” I said, “lazy bitch” he shot back and the omegas just laughed at our exchange, all while still feeding me.
