KIERAN
The happiness that exploded in our home was so different from anything I had ever experienced. Even growing up as a kid, our holidays were peaceful, quiet even as I learned to love the routines set forth for me. Mike, at one point in my life, had been a comfort and I think thatâs why it hurt so much more seeing things turn out the way they had. He hadnât always been this monster and I had no idea what had made him change.
Happily, I settled back in my chair at the table, watching people bustle to and from the counter, sharing and passing plates. It was chaos but it was mine. This was what true happiness looked like and for once I let myself enjoy it. I was a little out of my comfort zone, most of the guests in this house people I had never met. Granted, Isaias had asked me fifteen times before they arrived if we should host the party elsewhere.
I hadnât minded at the time, more overwhelmed by all the decisions than anything. Leaning into my Omega biology was a bitch but at the first sign of distress, Joel shooed Isaias away. Now, though, I didnât mind. The heady mixture of scents was a little unnerving but the way they accepted me wasnât something I had experienced before.
I became part of the conversation as they asked about the babies and laughed about how often I used to repaint the walls. They strayed away from asking about my past before the pack, something I attributed to Isaias warning them before they came over.
Terrence was constantly squealing about every little thing, stuffing his face beside me before placing things on my plate to try as well. When it came to food, I was pretty straightforward with it but the seasoned turkey breast, mac n cheese, and cranberry sauce were a match made in heaven. The stuffing was something I could do without and the sweet potato casserole was divine.
âSo, Kieran,â one of the guys in a police officerâs uniform started. I recognized him from the station. He also occasionally stopped into grandmaâs coffee shop before a shift. âThink you could beat me in an arm wrestle?â Everyone burst out laughing, throwing out imaginary bets before his wife slapped him on the back.
She was a petite little thing but her smile radiated through the entire room as she looked up at her husband. âHe would demolish you and we all know it. Youâre just saved because he has babies to protect.â More laughter filled the room and for once in my life, I didnât hate the fact that I wasnât the Omega that society thought I should be.
Joel leaned over from the other side, placing a kiss on my cheek as the plates were cleared. âYouâre happy?â
âAbsolutely,â I whispered before twisting enough to catch a taste of his lips. The constant yearning to be close to all my mates but especially Joel wasnât a chore but I was happy for it to be over.
