Chapter 16

A few hours and a long nap later, Eleanor was back in the kitchen. Surprisingly, the dishes had been done and the room was immaculate. Nice!

She’d hoped to find Delano there because she hadn’t even had the chance to ask him how things had gone with the other packs when last they talked. The room was empty and the house was surprisingly quiet. She understood that the guys were taking rotations, so the ones who weren’t out on the perimeter were most likely sleeping, but that didn’t explain where all the females were. They’d been directed to stick close to the house and the kitchen was usually their gathering place. Thinking on it, she decided that May and June were probably still lying low to avoid Delano’s wrath. Riss was in all liklihood still pouting in her room and that left Shade who, if she had to guess, was curled up in the sun room reading one of her favored romance novels.

Hobbling to the fridge, she pulled open the freezer and rummaged through, pulling out a few pounds of venison burger. Delano hadn’t agreed to allow her to cook, but she could at least make the effort of putting together something that most of the pack would enjoy.

A couple jars of vodka sauce from the cupboard and two boxes of spaghetti noodles later and she was ready to rock. As she limped to the cabinet that held the largest stockpot, she couldn’t help but notice the difference in not being hounded incessantly. Typically, her day was a whirlwind of settling arguments, assigning duties, and then covering most of those assignments herself. Smiling to herself, she had to admit that it felt a little nice to stay at the compound and do the more matronly tasks without it feeling like she was covering for someone or in a rush to get it done.

Pouring herself a tall glass of iced tea, she took a healthy swallow as she eyed the full fridge. Someone had done the grocery shopping and from the looks of it, they’d stuck to her list. That’s a first!

She pulled out two heads of romaine and two tomatoes, unable to stop the smile that split her face. Delano had done in a few weeks what she’d been unable to do in years. He’d whipped her pack into shape. It was nice. Aside from the slip in dish duty, which had been her responsibility, all the other chores were being performed on a regular basis without her having to beg for them to be done.

Hugging the heads of romaine to her chest, she balanced the two tomatoes in one hand and snagged her glass of tea before she made for the sink. Her foot hit a few drops of water that had drained from the romaine and it slid out from beneath her, forcing her to tighten her frame and tense her muscles to catch her balance. Her glass hit the floor as the action sent white-hot pain shooting through her.
