Chapter 197 A Big Girl

Allen could feel his wolf howl in despair the longer she spoke. She had a connection with Greyson as well?

‘No! I won’t share her! She is OUR mate! This is your fault!’ Orvar raged inside him as Allen tried desperately to block him out so that he could organize his own thoughts.

He hadn’t even considered that she would actually take both of them as mates, but if she couldn’t decide, and didn’t want to reject either of them…

Allen shook his head slowly.

“Would you consider rejecting one of us?” He asked tentatively as Lexi stared at him aghast. “And willingly cause that level of pain to the ones who are supposed to be made just for me? Are you insane? I’ve seen what it does to you wolves. How could you even ask me to reject Greyson?”

“I never asked for you to reject Greyson,” Allen said quietly. “I’m fully aware that you could choose to reject me as well if you only wanted one mate. Only you can make that decision Lexi and quite honestly, after the way I’ve treated you, I would completely understand if you chose to accept the bond with Greyson and not me.” Lexi’s stomach dropped. Allen just kept surprising her time after time. “Greyson really saw you for who you were from the very first moment he met you. He didn’t back away, like a frightened pup,” He smiled bitterly, “He deserves the bond with you.”

She had expected him to insist that she reject Greyson…if he didn’t reject her first of course. After his reaction at the Enclave, she was fairly sure that Greyson wouldn’t want anything else to do with her.

She sighed heavily and leaned on the doorframe.

“You’re a colossal d**k, Allen, I hope you know that.”

Allen smiled half-heartedly and nodded.

“I know. I was wrong and I can’t apologize enough. Even if it takes the rest of my life, I promise I’ll make it up to you. If you’ll just give me the chance to let me show you how you deserve to be treated, Lexi.” He pleaded quietly as Lexi scrutinized him with eyes full of mixed emotion.

Finally, after what seemed like forever, she nodded.

“Okay, fine. You get one chance, Beta boy. One. Not that you deserve it. You f*‘k it up and I fully intend to reject your a*s*s into infinity and beyond. Do you understand?”

Allen grinned as his shoulders sagged in relief.

“I understand. I promise you, Lexi, you won’t regret it.”

“I better not furball.”

Allen sat nervously at the table as Lexi and her father entered the dining hall. He stood as they approached and bowed deeply to them both.

There weren’t too many of the pack in attendance tonight due to prior engagements, but the Omega’s had worked hard to provide a decent spread at such short notice.

Allen managed to fumble his way through the conversation with Lord Brarthroroz with only a minor sweat breaking out on his forehead whilst his wolf Orvar raged inside of him to feed his mate and provide for her.

Relationships were simple enough in Orvar’s mind. He knew that he couldn’t demonstrate his love for the wolf by tracking and killing the largest prey that he could find in the forest because Lexi didn’t haveContent bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

a wolf to impress. Instead, he mithered at Allen constantly to fill her plate with more Steak, more chicken, more anything so that she would eat until she was satisfied and therefore taken care of.

“She’s not a prize pig to feed up for s******’r Orvar. You’re being ridiculous.’ Allen grunted. ‘Mate is a woman. I’ve seen human females get prickly when they’re hungry. Lexi is prickly already… I’d rather not be stabbed in our sleep because she is hangry and not satisfied in some way.’ Orvar smirked. Allen pursed his lips in a tight line and clenched his jaw.

It wasn’t enough that Lexi was merciless in her teasing, now his wolf was taking snarky swipes at him. He sighed internally as Lexi snorted quietly.

“Everything okay there, Beta boy? You look a little tense.” Allen nodded and checked the status of her plate, trying to block his wolf’s incessant chanting, urging him to feed her, out of his head.

“My wolf is pretty insistent about filling your plate and making you eat until you’re fit to burst.” He grimaced and suppressed a chuckle at Orvar’s horrified expression as he realized Allen was about to give him away.

“N’aaaw. Well, you can tell your little wolfy that I’m a big girl, perfectly capable of satisfying myself when it comes to food, and every other area for that matter.” Lexi winked, “I don’t need a man, or a wolf, to provide for me, or take care of me.”

Allen winced at his wolf’s pained whine inside of him.

“I don’t think either of us is under any impression that you’re the delicate sort of woman that needs taking care

of, however, that doesn’t mean that we won’t enjoy looking after you and making sure that you have everything you need,” Allen said casually as he reached for a tray of deserts that had been placed on the table.

Neither of them noticed Lord Brarthroroz watching the exchange with quiet interest. “I know you’ve always had to fight for your place in society and do everything yourself. You’re strong, fierce and amazingly independent, Lexi, and I love it. But, as much as you don’t want to be seen as weak or lacking in some way for accepting help, you need to start seeing things a little differently.” Allen continued carefully as he began to fill her plate with small slices of every cake on offer.

“Both I and my wolf, Orvar, would like very much for you to accept our gestures as a way of showing we care about you in every way. Your health, your hunger, your every need… we want to make sure that they are satisfied and we want to do it because we can, not because you need it.”

“Allen, I don’t need all of this.” Lexi protested as she stared at the plate of food in front of her with conflicting emotions, fully aware of what this represented.

Allen chuckled.

“I know you don’t need it Lexi, but I also know that you want to taste each one of them. I can see it in your face. You might think that I haven’t been watching you while you were here and committing everything to memory, but I have.”

“Like a f*****g crazed stalker, huh?” she mumbled begrudgingly as she picked up her fork, her mouthwatering at the sight of all of these deserts he had placed on her plate.

“Exactly like a crazed stalker,” Allen chuckled, “but without the murderous intentions at the end of it.” Lexi sighed and rolled her eyes.

“Well, don’t blame me if I get as big as a house with all of this food you’re going to be shoving down my throat.” She grumbled, secretly ecstatic that she could eat as much as she wanted in front of him, and he wouldn’t bat an eyelid.

“Oh, I wouldn’t worry about that. I’m sure we’ll burn it off in other ways.” Allen winked as he turned back to his own plate.

Lexi almost choked on the mouthful she had just taken as she turned to stare at him in surprise.

So Mister stick-up-his-a*s*s had a sa*s*sy side too?

Lexi smiled to herself as her imagination ran wild with everything that she had heard about the wolves in the bedroom.

Would that be her and Allen? Greyson too?

She suppressed the squeal of excitement at the thought of both of them at her mercy in the bedroom. If they were both so focused on meeting her needs, then this bond thing might not be so bad after all.
