Goddess Of The Underworld.
Dinner.
After finishing myself off, I clean up and head out to my little mate’s door. I knock but don’t get an answer. I press my ear against it but even with my wolfs hearing, I can’t sense that she’s inside. A peak inside confirms it. I follow the fading scent of blueberries and vani through the pack house where it gradually gets stronger. Then I hear it, music, Dive by Ed Sheeren ys through the kitchen and I get closer I hear my little mate singing sweetly. Theres an aroma of cooked meats that has me practically drooling as I enter the kitchen. Envy stands with her back to me, swinging her hips in a dangerously short pair of navy silk shorts and a matching shirt. She’s bloody perfect. Is this what the rest of my life will look like? My mate singing, cooking in her pyjamas,fortable in our house.
Dance with her Maddox coaxes me and he doesn’t need to tell me twice. Envy spins in a half circle and I catch her as he does, pulling her close to me, taking the spoon from her hand and cing it on the counter as I move her hands around my shoulders and ce my hands on her hips as I sway us around.
“Are you cooking us dinner, little mate?” I question as she blushes.
“I thought you guys might be hungry and the staff have already clocked off for the night.”
“That’s incredibly sweet of you.”
“You don’t mind?”
“Why would I mind? This is the most thoughtful thing anyone has ever done, and to have my mate do it is even better. Usually, the guys would just order pizza or something.” I scrunch my nose at the idea of another pizza night. We fall quite as we dance around the kitchen and the only sound is a few small giggles from my mate being spun around. The song finishes and I give her a soft kiss on the forehead before releasing her.
“Thank you.”
“Why would you thank me?” she questions.
“That was the first time I’ve danced with a girl. It was perfect. This kitchen is now my favourite room in
the whole house.”
“Your first? What about all those girls I’ve heard about.” She questions as I watch over her shoulder while she stirs a pot of what looks like stew. I rest my head on her shoulder and sigh.
“All rumours. I’ve waited for you. Never dated anyone, never been interested in anyone before, hell I’ve never even kissed anyone.”
She stops stirring and looks at me, really looks at me.
“I’m not lying. I’ve only ever wanted my mate.”

Dinner.
“Your mother said the same thing. But I didn’t believe her.”
“What do you believe now?”
“Something….somewhere…” She taps the side of her temple. “Tells me you’re telling the truth.”
“Good. I would never lie to you…”
“I’ve…I waited too.” She says in almost a whisper and my heart practically stops.
“You waited?”
“I did.” She shrugs. “It’s always been important to me. I thought if the Moon Goddess blessed me, she
would bless me with a mate with the same values.”
“That’s why you were so upset about my brothers.”
“Yeah.” She says softly, looking back down at the pot.
“That. Smells. So. Good!” Haiden bounces into the kitchen behind us. “This is like a dreame true! Are
you really cooking for us, love?!”
“Yep, beef stew, nothing special but I always liked this recipe.”
I could seriously kill him right now. I swear that would have been the perfect moment to kiss her. That’s okay though, I’ll find the right moment, one where my brothers can’t disturb us and we can share something we both value.
“Guess we can toss out the pizza coupons then if our girl can cook!” Haiden jokes, but as Levi enters, he goes straight to the draw where we stash coupons and menus and chucks them all in the bin.
“I agree.” He states firmly,
“This is lovely, little Luna, thank you for doing this for us.” Noah says in awe as he walks in freshly showered like the other three.
“Should we eat in the loungeroom tonight? Maybe watch a movie?” Haiden questions no one in particr.
“I’ll go set up the coffee table and get some cushions.” Noah agrees.
“Our doll gets to pick the movie this time though.” Levi states as we all agree.
Envy pours a hefty amount of stew into the bowls and Levi and I help carry them to the loungeroom where Haiden and Noah have set up a casual eating space around the coffee table. We very rarely eat in here, but the way that our girl gets instantlyfy in the middle on the cushions, I can tell that we’ll be doing this a lot more from now on. I sit beside her with Haiden on her other side and Levi pushes the remote across

for her to pick. I’m secretly hoping she doesn’t pick a chick flick, but to my surprise she goes straight to the action section. She’s more perfect than she knows.
The stew is literally bursting with vour on my tongue. It’s the best thing I’ve ever eaten, and I don’t think it’s just because our mate made it. The guys and I go back for more until the pot ispletely empty and then Levi and Noah help clear the tes. We settle on the couch and keep watching the movie until Envy yawns and I ask if she’s ready for bed.
“Yeah, it’s been a day.”
We all perk up at the thought that maybe, just maybe she will invite us to sleep with her but she doesn’t. I walk her to the door and give her a goodnight kiss on the cheek before she shuts the door wishing us a goodnight. When I turn around my brothers look like they’ve sucked lemons.
“Howe you get a kiss?” Haiden pouts and I roll my eyes.
“Maybe she just likes me more.” I shrug, knowingly stirring the pot.
“Maybe you’ve been hogging time with her!” He wines.
Levi steps between us. “Why don’t we each take her on a date? That way she can get to know each of us in a more private setting?”
“I second that!” Noah pipes up.
“Yeah okay. Oldest to youngest but.”
“There you go throwing the age card around again!” Haiden raises his voice.
“That still means you’ll go second.” I point and he smirks.
“Yeah, okay, oldest to youngest. We’ll ask her tomorrow.”
