A Wolf Like Me

The women completely ignore us when we arrive at the fabulous villa.
Magda briefly detaches herself from the company to show Ivor and me each our rooms. Fortunately, we sleep next door, so I can look pretty close for the man in case I need him for business. Again I notice how the little girl's eyes follow Ivor; she clearly has a young crush on the Chief Warrior. But he doesn't look back at her, walks straight to his room while the drivers take our bags.
Once in my room, I take a hot bath and dress in formal pants and a shirt.
A hand through my blond hair and I'm ready. Frankly saying, I'm starving. As a werewolf, I have a hearty appetite and this morning I missed breakfast. Ivor too actually, since we were rechecking the Queen's security. Ralph was uncompromising when he talked about Saray's protection, I could see in his demeanor toward this matter that he won't tolerate mistakes. And when Randall too came to interfere, I chose to be better safe than sorry, so I went over the security plan several times with Ivor and the men in charge of invisible surveillance.
As I stand outside my room door now, Ivor is also just coming out.
He too, is dressed formally again. My suspicion is that he wants to adopt an inaccessible attitude. As if that will freeze the mate bond. Tonight I'm going to have some fun, see if this Ivor is really as brilliant in private as he is at work. He is a flawlessly intelligent guy on the job, but that doesn't mean that if emotions are involved, his mindset will be the same. I chuckle, I'm all into this.
"You look perfectly businesslike once again, Ivor," I tease him. "You'll definitely attract the attention of all the women around you. Fancy a bite? I could devour a whole pig right now". He looks at me sourly at first, but his eyes shine when he hears me talking about food. Of course, he is hungry too, although as a warrior he can go without food for extended periods. But it is not wartime currently and his body is in normal mode. We walk back to the sitting room where the women are waiting for us, much to our surprise.
"Eric. Thank goodness you guys are here already. I'm hungry as a wolf. I feared we would have to wait a long time for you," Saray sighs. "Come, Magda has prepared a big meal for us." Magda walks ahead of us to the dining room and smiles. "Esis told me that men like him burn a lot of energy and need a big meal. My husband is a real eater, which is why he hired a cook for us, although I often cook for him myself. Only he doesn't know it. And fortunately, I get compliments every time, even though he thinks the meal he just consumed came from the cook," the woman tells me, giggling secretly. Esis is surely doing a great job here, his woman is madly in love with him and over the moon. This is really how a fated mate should be, Magda differs so much from Saray. Although Saray likes to lean against Ralph's body, she doesn't have the sprightliness on her as seen in Magda or talks about her mate all the time.
Ooohh well, maybe that will come with time.
Ralph says he feels the mate bond, maybe the day will come when Saray feels it too. All smiles I follow Magda with my eyes, this poor woman does not know that Alpha Esis and the cook communicate in the mind link. The Alpha clearly did know when she had prepared the meals and complimented his mate so she felt appreciated. A happy wife is a happy life, and of course, he practices that with tremendous success in his relationship. Smart guy!
As we sit at the big table, I notice Elena taking the seat next to Ivor.
The man freezes, bolts to his feet, and sits down to my left. The girl looks on in disappointment, a pang of pain in her eyes. I will definitely not allow this behavior, once we are alone, I will instruct Ivor to consider the child's feelings. She is still young and should absolutely not be traumatized by his rejection. I cannot force him to accept her but I will command him to spare her emotions. Ivor senses my irritation and sighs. He knows that action on my part is imminent. I may not have a mate yet, but I want the female sex to be treated with respect when they are innocent.

"Did you say you're hungry like a wolf?" I dryly inquire of Saray.
All the werewolves at the table burst into laughter. Magda and Elena stare at us confused, unaware of our inside fun. "Esis also often says he is a wolf," Magda explains hesitantly, looking at us uncomfortably one by one. "I think I need to start reading more about werewolves. Or watch TV series with paranormal themes," she continues, frivolous. Another burst of laughter, we can barely contain ourselves now. The King-Mother hiccups soberly. "You really should do that, Magda. One day soon, everything you find out might come in handy," she explains ambiguously. Our hand goes to our mouth to restrain another laughter. "Come, let's not tease Magda. The woman is so confused by your hunger stories," Alidya soothes the situation before turning to the Luna. "Magda, it's just that the word wolf is often used at home. Please excuse us".
The luna breathes relieved, probably thinking she said something wrong.
Alpha Esis should really spare her these kinds of scenes and initiate her into our world. A mating between a human and a werewolf is complex and sometimes dangerous but he is a leader of a pack and has no choice. I sigh deeply and look at the servants serving us. And then back to Elena, who is clearly disturbed by watching one of them hanging deep over Ivor, her breasts in his face. Knowing my friend, previously, he would definitely not object to his head between those big boobs but he is now very distressed by this all. Again I suppress a peal of laughter.
"I can't stand this!" I hear the Chief Warrior erupt beside me. He bucks his chair back and with wide strides, he walks to his bedroom. The women stare at him in stupefaction. "Hey, what's up with Ivor now?" asks Magda dumbfounded. After our strange manners a few minutes back and this weird behavior of Ivor is enough to knock her off balance.
"You'll have to fire that waitress. She hit on Ivor and if that happens again, it won't end well," I advise her dryly....
