Nikolai had already brought over a bowl before he even asked, Angelo putting a sizable amount in it. The noodles were spicy but he knew that it would be nothing to Lake.
The pregnant Omega's eyes gleamed, almost tearing up as he ditched his cup of coffee to hold the steaming bowl of noodles in both hands. "Thank you," He sniffed, "It smells really good."
Angelo panicked slightly because it really looked like Lake was about to burst into tears right there.
Fortunately, the doors opened once more, a frazzled Davian storming in. The Alpha only relaxed when his gaze settled on Lake, walking over with a question on the tip of his tongue.
Lake clutched his bowl to himself like he was worried his mate would try to take it from him.
"I couldn't find you in your room," Davian murmured, frowning when Lake pivoted so that his back was to him.
"I wanted a drink," Lake replied guiltily. The large bowl of noodles in his arms was far from the drink he claimed to be getting.
