Fen’s beautiful green gaze skimmed the room. “I wonder if everything will still taste nasty to me.” Fen said the words aloud while speaking with Kyrie personally at the same time.Most are happy for us. There’re a few young wolves who are jealous. Only one is thinking a ton of bigoted shit.
“Order what used to be your favorite and find out.”Which one?
Grey Canis.
Kyrie rolled his eyes.Fuck that old bastard. Apparently, when I was brought to town, he took one look at my eyes and told my pack to toss me on the fire.
“What the actual fuck?”I’m curious what Freyr would’ve done.
Kyrie chuckled.He’s the god of fertility. Not the god of parenting. I’ve never even set eyes on him.
Fen reached across the table for Kyrie’s hand.
Kyrie didn’t hesitate to take it. Peace settled inside him as their fingers linked. He didn’t need anyone else.
“Damn right.”
Kyrie chuckled again. This was the best thing that ever happened to him. He refused to believe anything else.
“Are you two ready to order?”
Kyrie flashed their server, Sarah, a smile. “You know I’m boring.”
Sarah smiled as she wrote Kyrie’s order. Kyrie truly had lived a monotonous life. He always ordered the same thing. At least for breakfast, anyhow. He didn’t like that many breakfast foods.
“I’ll have what he’s having.”
Sarah nodded. “Do you two need anything else, or are you good for now?”
I thought you planned to get your favorite as a test.
“We’re good.” Fen focused on Kyrie the moment they were alone. “Funny story. Your regular is my favorite.”
Kyrie shook his head, but he couldn’t contain his smile. He couldn’t have been given a sexier blessing. Kyrie was on top of the world.
Fen smirked.Keep up those thoughts. We won’t get to eat.
Whoops.“What did you want to do after this?”
Fen looked slightly uncomfortable. “We have so much to figure out.”
Kyrie nodded. “I know. This came from nowhere. You probably feel like I’m a complete stranger.”
“Do you feel that way?”
Fen’s question caught him slightly off guard. He hadn’t been prepared to have the question tossed back his way. “No. I know you.”
“Same. Since that night I offered to do a full moon run with you, I’ve been a little obsessed.” Fen looked embarrassed, but he kept going. “You have no idea how much I regret not going, especially since I was totally useless by staying behind to comfort Leif. He disappeared before I could speak to him.”
“Speaking of which.” Kyrie lowered his voice. “Did you ever find out what that was all about?” They had been enjoying a nice bonfire and barbeque at Frost’s house when a large Werebear had shown up. Leif had taken one look at the guy, turned, and ran for the hills.
Fen sipped his drink before responding. “Yeah. It seems Leif was head over ass in love with the Werebear who crashed the party that night. They used to be in a decades’ long relationship, before the reality of never getting to be true mates finally destroyed them. Now, pairings like ours are happening. It seems the bear came as soon as the rumors hit his pack. Leif has no desire to see him. Apparently, things did nae end well.”
Kyrie’s chest hurt. “That’s so sad. I hate how much that story isn’t rare. Lots of people have gotten their hearts ripped out for the same reason.”
Fen nodded. “I know a few others as well.”
Their food arrived. Sarah arranged their plates. “Can I get you anything else?”
