Chapter 62

I stop in my office briefly for the folder of pictures, steno pad and pen that I’ve started writing in before walking to the dining room. To my surprise it seems everything is calming down right on time. The omegas have just finished setting up the table with a wide array of food for everyone that’s going to meet with me tonight. Most of the seats at the table are going to be filled as I have all of the trainers involved in the warrior program meeting for dinner.
I run into Lilly putting the finishing touches on the table. I put my pen and paper on the table before wrapping my arms around her waist. I pull her back against my chest and lay my cheek upon her shoulder. Closing my eyes, I take in the comforting scent of my mark near her neck. I stay for a moment until I start hearing the chatter of everyone else heading towards the room. I peck kiss her neck a few times before lifting my head and getting a chaste kiss from her. I give her a smile before letting her go, gathering my things and moving to the head of the table where I always sit.
I grab my plate and take a moment to survey the table. Tonight is a beautiful spread of all my favorites. Ribeye steaks cooked on the grill with sautéed onions, bell peppers and mushrooms. Baked potatoes, baked macaroni and cheese, steamed broccoli and baby carrots finish off the selection.
