Chapter Nine

Kate ignored her hunger, sitting at the table watching the guys dig into the food. She had zero interest in tasting any of it. Real food no longer held any appeal. From their groans and the way they ate so fast, the men seemed to enjoy it. She was grateful that she’d listened to Jay about increasing the portions. Each werewolf had second and third helpings.

Reef swallowed his mouthful, smiling at her. “You have to marry me now, if this is what you can do with the stuff you had me pick up at the grocery store. I was leery about the boxed side dishes, but no more. I’m a believer.”

She laughed. Trent growled at him, glaring. It made her crack up harder.

“She added stuff to it,” Jay informed them. “Extra butter, chives, and cheese to the mashed potatoes. Some seasoning and extra butter to the stuffing. Those weren’t in the instructions. I read them, but she didn’t.”

“I’m not a big fan of baked chicken, but I love whatever the hell this is,” Kleve said, getting another helping of the chicken from an almost empty glass dish.

Parker nodded. “Delicious. I’ve tried to make the boxed stuffing but it came out dry. My packaged mashed potatoes weren’t this good either.”

“My mom taught us some great shortcuts to make them better. All of us work, so we had to cut corners during the week.” Memories flashed of her mom standing behind the island in the kitchen, giving them lessons when they were little girls. It made Kate sad. She missed her family so much. “No time to make mashed potatoes or stuffing from scratch when you’re tired from a long day at work and everyone wants to eat within the hour.”

Trent wiped his mouth with a napkin and took a sip of his beer. “What did you do for work?”

Cable answered before she could. “Billing and receptionist for a dentist. She has an associate’s degree in accounting.”

Kate arched her eyebrows at him.

Cable shrugged, staring at her. “I learned everything I could about you after Trent brought you home. It’s my job.”

She glanced at Trent. He was glaring at Cable.

Cable defended his actions. “It is my job. My duty to know everything about our pack and keep on top of them.”

Kate wasn’t mad, just curious. “What else did you find out, Cable?”

“You lived at home with your family. One of your sisters worked with you. The older one. She’s a dental hygienist. Also going to night school to become a dentist. The younger sister is still a full-time student. She’s becoming an oral surgeon. You guys wanted to be able to open your own practice one day.” Cable paused. “You were also taking some online business courses. I read that in an interview with your parents after you went missing.”

Tears filled Kate’s eyes as she nodded. It hurt that the plans they’d made would never come true. Her family surely believed that she was dead. They knew she’d never just take off. “Yes.
