Before I can answer him Alpha Randell announces that dinner will be served and I free myself out of Nathan’s arms before I walk to my seat, glad to get away from Nathan and what he makes me feel. I know Marc hasn’t asked Noah, Nathan and Nikolay to become their Deltas yet, but with them being our future Gamma’s Brothers we are all sheeted at one table and I could see quite a few females stealing glances at my Stepbrothers.
I doubt my Stepbrothers are aware of the fact that they are the center of attention for quite a few unmated females in our Pack, they are too bushy asking Marc and Anton questions about me. They even ask Crystal how she was able to tell them apart, but she just shrugs her shoulders and refuses to answer that question. Dinner is spent talking and laughing, all of us enjoying each other’s company and I feel Topaz’s attention shift between all four of my Stepbrothers.
I try to keep my focus on my plate, but my Stepbrothers go out of their way to involve me in their conversation and for some reason Anton is joining them. I’m not too sure how other people will react when they hear Topaz has felt a connection with all four of my Stepbrothers, I’m not even sure how I should feel about this and I fear this might cause a rift in the fragile relationship I currently have with my Mother.
Grandma would never turn her back on me but I am not too sure what the rest of the family will do, not that I’m too worried about it at the moment. With Nero being gone the last few days and with the workload I have ahead of me I doubt we will have much time to make the Mate–bond form, if there is a Mate–bond to form between the five of us. I’m still not sure if the connection Topaz feels is a sibling bond or the start of a Mate–bond.
I still haven’t figured out how to ask Grandma about the subject, I know she will always answer any question I have but I also know she will wonder if the question is connected to myself somehow. Will Marc and Crystal still want me at a Beta if it turns out then I am mated to my Stepbrothers? Will they accept it if a Mate–bond is forming between Stepsiblings? Or will they do everything in their power to stop us from completing the made bond if one happens to form between us?
All these questions run through my mind as I eat my dinner, I barely pay attention to the conversations around me and from time to time someone has to repeat their question. I blame my job for being preoccupied and for some reason everyone seems to accept it, even though I can see Grandfather looking at me strangely,
Whenever one of my Stepbrothers is asking me a question I take my time to answer it, it gives me the time. to make sure I don’t reveal any of my thoughts. So far Topaz has not been able to contact their Lycans, but according to Topaz that has everything to do with the fact that there is no bond between us and that she will be able to reach their Lycans once a Mate–bond or a sibling bond has been formed.
When siblings have at least one parent in common they will have a family bond and their Wolves or Lycans will be able to reach the other’s Wolf or Lycan. In cases of stepsiblings it works similar to a Mate–bond, it will take some time for that bond to grow and once that bond is in place we will be able to link one another in our family link. Our Lycans will also be able to reach out to one another and just like it is with blood siblings my Stepbrothers will be able to know in which direction to look for me.
It is a subject that Grandma loves to talk about and maybe that could be my way of asking her about a Mate- bond between Stepsiblings. I never heard of a Mate–bond forming between Stepsiblings, it was never discussed in class and I am not sure if it is common knowledge or not. Grandma would always follow the same curriculum that was given in school, with the difference being that I got homeschooled and that she could have chosen to deviate from the curriculum.

to Grandfather it was a combination of being homeschooled and having the brains of my Father. Uncle Paul always tells me that he was envious of his Brother’s brain and how the damn thing worked, because Dad could find solutions to a problem that no one else seemed to be able to find.
“Aliyah, where did you go?” Crystal asks and I tell her that I was thinking about Grandma and the fact that she homeschooled me. “Until I met my paternal family I always thought that being homeschooled was the reason I graduated high school early, but hearing the stories about my ther I soon realized that it also had to do with me inheriting his brains.” I answer her, before I turn my focus on the dessert right in front of me.
The Omegas always make different kind of desserts each day, it gives every Pack–member the ability to pick a dessert that they feel like eating at that moment and not being forced to decline a dessert if it is not what they wanna eat at that time. In my case an Omega always asks me up front what I feel like eating as a dessert, they do that just before they start making the decorations on the deserts and that has everything to do with my allergy to certain tree nuts.
Today I decided I wanted brownies sprinkled with chocolate flakes and as my desert gets placed in front of me I see a confused look on Nikolay’s face, “I get asked what kind of a dessert I want because none of them wants me to end up in the Infirmary like I did nearly five years ago, it was the first time I had dinner at the Pack–house with my family and none of them knew I had an allergy to certain tree nuts.
The nuts were mixed within the batter of the desert and for that reason I had not seen that there were walnuts in my dessert. The moment I took the first bite I realized something was wrong but by that time it was too late and one of the reactions I have to eating, well let me put it this way having walnuts in my mouth is for my lips and my tongue to swell. Grandfather rushed me to the Infirmary and luckily our pack doctor was aware of my allergy so within a few hours I was back to my normal self.” I explained to Nicolai.
Nikolai looks at Nero and I can tell he wants to know what was in my treat, “Nero paid attention if I was eating dessert or a treat, the cookies you brought me were chocolate peanut butter grahams and I am not allergic to peanuts.” I answer his unspoken question.
