The Lycan Alpha's Mate (Second Chance) novel Chapter 2

//Emily\\

The smell of bacon, sausage, egg, and pancake, irritated my nostrils the moment I stepped into the kitchen.

I took a moment and sniffed in the delicious smell of breakfast before I walked up to my mom.

“ Good morning mom”. I greeted and kissed her cheeks. She was busy on the stove finishing up with breakfast.

“ Good morning baby. You are late for training again.” My mom shot a dagger at me, “You know how your father hates lateness.” She stated.

“ Sorry mama, I slept late last night. “ I lied between my teeth and managed to make a sad face which earned me some sympathy.

“Alright dear! Sleep early next time.”

“Sure mom, I will take my leave now. Gamma Trey must be waiting for me.” I murmured and tried to leave against the protest made by my stomach.

“ Wait Emily,” I quickly halted and prayed earnestly for her to tell me to eat my breakfast. Before I leave for training.

“Finish with breakfast before you leave. You can’t function properly on an empty stomach. ” She giggled and my lips curved into a smile as a sigh of relief left my lips.

At the word breakfast, I did a happy dance in my head as I walked to the dining table and took a seat behind trays of scrumptious foods lined up on the table.

I rub my small palms together and started salivating. All my eyes could see was food. The erotic dream was long forgotten.

I love food and I’m not ashamed to voice it out. We werewolves are strong and energetic beasts. So we end up utilizing more energy than humans and other species.

We also have a high metabolism rate, making us hungry all the time.

“Happy sweet eighteen baby." My mother screams excitedly. Bringing me out of my daze.

She slid a tray of food in front of me and I gasped at the sight.

I lean over to the side and pulled her into a bear hug.

“Oh my god! Mom. This smells delicious “ I praised.

“It sure is” my mother chirps. ” I have to make my baby’s day special. Again, Happy birthday sweetie. I pray this day brings you a lot of goodwill and happiness “

“ Thanks, mom.” I kissed her cheeks and got back into my seat.

The tray had bacon, sausage, and mushroom on one side and beans, toast, scrambled eggs, and tomatoes on the other side.

It was a full English breakfast. Something she prepares once in a million years.

Mmm Yummy!

My mom knows me well. She knew I wouldn’t like any other present more than a palatable breakfast.

Just the smell alone clouded my mind with fog.

The smell of the food was alluring and made my stomach rumble over and over again.

My sense came to live and I couldn’t help but stare at the food, swallowing my saliva.

For a minute I forgot all about training since the food had my undivided attention.

I didn’t waste any more time. I stuffed the mouthwatering food into my mouth. Chewing as fast as I could.

My taste buds came alive as the delicious taste of food rolled on my tongue.

Tasty!

So tasty!!

I must confess, my mother has got talent. She is the best cook in the world! Her cooking skills were incomparable.

I shoved more bacon and sausage down my throat like a hungry lion and sipped on the chilled glass of pineapple juice. Sitting on my right.

I let my eyes scan around the room. Where were the rest of the family? Where is dad and brother?

“ Where is father?” I asked my mom when I found myself alone at the dining table.

Her expression automatically changed and she stopped cleaning the working surfaces.

Her face contorted in sadness before she quickly covered it up...

Was something up?

Before I could ask further questions my brother walked in to answer my previous question.

“Father is out meeting with the alpha of the Golden Lycan pack. He will be back in a few hours.”

The Lycan pack?
