A Runt Luna novel Chapter 14

As big of house as it was, she was thankful that she didn't have to guess which way the downstairs was; there was a clear view of the staircase. Aurora's heart was beating frantically as she heard noise coming from the first floor, she wasn't ready to face anyone.

Slowly making her way down the stairs, she immediately came to view with Kole and two other guys, sitting at the table enjoying what looked to be pancakes and sausage.

"Good morning, I was just about to bring you up something." Georgia said with a smile, as she entered from what Rory assumed to be the kitchen. "Please take a seat."

Aurora looked around the table, and noticed that there was a spot next to Kole open, or there was one across the table from him. Deciding to sit away from him, she kept her gaze down, as she felt eyes staring at her, watching her every move. Kole's gaze was heavy on her as she sat down, glancing up to catch a frown come across his face.

"Do you like pancakes?" Georgia asked.

"Sure," She nodded not sure what types of pancakes they were. The only pancakes that she was used to were ones that were burnt to a crisp, and tasted like bitterness. Unlike the burnt plate she was expecting, Georgia slid a fresh stack of three pancakes, eggs, and sausage in front of her.

Aurora couldn't help but just stare down at the pink plate. It was so fresh... she was surprised.

Her stomach growled at her begging her to take a bite of the deliciousness in front of her, but she knew she wouldn't be able to eat it all. Her stomach was small, and if she stuffed it too full-it would all come back up.

Glancing up she couldn't help but blush as she realized everyone was watching her marvel over the food that was placed in front of her. Gulping, she glanced down; nearly jumping out of her seat when she heard Kole speak.

"Get out, I will speak to you later." He demanded his tone leaving no room for negotiating.

Her mouth practically watered as she stood from her spot, preparing to leave the delicious meal in front of her.

"Not you, Aurora." Kole growled.

"Well please enjoy, let me know if you need anything." He spoke glancing over at the files he was supposed to be going over. He wasn't going to leave the room, but he also wanted to make her comfortable enough to eat-which is why he was going to do some work, or at least pretend he was working. More importantly he wanted to see how much she ate.

He tried not to stare; he really did, but watching her enjoy the hot meal was oddly enjoyable. It was like watching a kid trying to hide their excitement at Christmas time and failing miserably. His wolf was proud that his pack was able to support her; even that little small meal was a sign of caring for her; providing for her.

"Do you have any clothes in your bag?" Kole asked his gaze roaming over the worn clothes that she was wearing.

"No." Aurora whispered so softly that he had to strain to hear her.

"We will have to fix that." Kole nodded making a mental note to ask Georgia to assist. He gazed back down at the reports from the farmers and the numbers they had for the crops to be produced in the couple months. His pack was a little different than other packs he knew of. He was proud to say that they support themselves by producing their own crops; mainly veggies and fruit. It was something that the youth in the pack worked on with the elders. Kole found that not only did it keep them from misbehaving, it also taught them responsibility and allowed them to be confident that they were providing for their family. Overall the small tasks in the pack were enjoyed by everyone.
