Dinner turned out to be barbecued chicken with potato salad, rolls, garden salad, fruit salad with a mixed berry yogurt for dressing and a surprisingly tasty pasta salad that Estrid loved. Sigurd was amusing himself by adding pasta salad to her plate in small portions to see how long it took her to notice what he was doing as she chatted animatedly to her friend sitting next to her. Suddenly her phone rang loudly and she answered it as she took another bite.

"Hello?" She barely managed around a mouth full of pasta. "Sigurd what are you doing? Stop!" She giggled and slapped his arm half heartedly.

"Took you long enough." He laughed and caught her hand.

"Stuffing your face as usual, Estrid." Her mother said by way of greeting. "No wonder you're so fat. You know men would find you more attractive if you lost forty pounds." Estrid's face fell and she pushed her plate away, having lost her appetite.

"What do you want?" She half growled as she stood and left the chow hall.

"Is that what I get when I call you to say happy birthday? What an ungrateful brat you've become." Ruth said in an offended tone.

"You're mother of the year." Estrid said sarcastically as she rolled her eyes. "You took all of five minutes to remember that you have a daughter."

"Don't take that tone with me young lady!"

"Or what? What are you going to do?"

"I may not call you anymore."

"You only call me once a year and all ways ruin my day. So that would not be a punishment."

"Well I'm sorry you decided that you would rather be an ungrateful brat and throw everything I did for you back in my face!"

"I'd shake what you gave me but I can't shake therapy and body image issues." Estrid snarled as she kicked a rock across the main square and ducked into an alley between two cabins followed by Preston and two other warriors she knew from school.

"I did not give you body image issues. Your just fat. I only ever told you the truth. It's not my fault you are such a sensitive cry baby!"

"Did you ever wonder why dad got full custody of me so easily?"

"Because he paid off the judge. If he hadn't you would not be so spoiled and ungrateful!"

"You're right about one thing mom I wouldn't be so spoiled if I had stayed with you. I would be dead!" Estrid almost shouted as she walked out on the dock. "He got custody because you are a terrible mother! You were mentally and emotionally abusive and constantly encouraged me to go with out eating! That is when you were actually paying attention to me! By the time I was eleven I wanted to kill my self! But you didn't care enough to see that!"

"Stop blaming me for your issues, Estrid! It's not becoming!"

"Did you know I had to get my stomach pumped when I was ten?"

"No you didn't." Ruth scoffed.

"I swallowed a whole bottle of your pain meds and the maid found me on your bathroom floor! But that was the day after you left for a month in Tokyo to launch your new line of dresses! I'm not surprised you didn't know about it! Or the time your bastard husband threw me down the stairs because I told him that I was hungry after being denied food for two days! But you were at the spa that day!"

"Oh my gods." Estrid heard Preston mutter behind her.

"And now you call me once a year, ruin my birthday and expect me to say thank you?! I have been trying to get it through your thick skull that I want nothing to do with you! But to be fair you would actually have to pay attention to what I tell you to get that! just in case it is in any way unclear, I fucking hate you! I hope you drive off a cliff because I will go to your funeral and laugh as I piss on your grave! You may have given birth to me but you are not my mother and I hope you die! But Gods forbid you make me happy!" Estrid ended the call with that. She stood staring out at the lake for a while trying not to cry.

"Hey!" Sigurd called out and was entercepted by Preston.

"Not a good time, Alpha!" Preston hissed.

"Seriously, she may stab you!" Andrew said.

"That's the kind of mood she is in!" Alden added.

"She's probably just hangry." She could hear the eye roll in his voice as she wiped the tears from her face.

"If high-school taught me anything, it's that when the quiet nice girl starts yelling you start running. She's about to fuck up your day!" Alden hissed.

"You didn't finish your dinner, baby." Sigurd said as she turned around. She kept her eyes on her shoes so he wouldn't know she was crying. "Baby what's wrong?" He asked now worried that he did something to offend her.

"It's nothing..... I just..... Am I fat?" the words tumbled from her mouth before she could stop them.

"What?" Sigurd asked confused.

"Don't answer that! It's a trap!" Andrew half yelled.

"Ugh. Never mind! Forget I asked!" She snapped as she tried to stalk past him while tipping the plate in his hands into the lake. "I'm not hungry anymore!" He reached out and grabbed her wrist gently to stop her.

"Baby doll, where is this coming from? Are you okay? What happened? Talk to me." The worry on his face almost caused her to break down and sob.

"Answer my question if you're so worried." She jerked her arm away from him and stepped back.

"What question? Baby I don't understand and I am trying to."

"Do you think I'm fat?" She rolled her eyes at him and he couldn't believe she had asked him such a ridiculous question.

"Of course not! Why would you even ask that?" He said incredulously.

"Why?" She demanded.

"Why what? Baby you're starting to scare me!"

"Why don't you think I'm fat?" She closed her eyes and he could her the barely restrained tears in her voice. She was worried that he didn't love her.

"Because you're not!"

"But you would prefer if I lost forty pounds." Her tears were sliding slowly down her face now as she examined her shoes again.

"No, Estrid what happened to make you think that? I love you!" He wished he knew what he had done to make her feel this way. "I'm sorry Estrid. I didn't mean to make you feel this way. I love you. Please believe me!"He tried to pull her into his arms and she pushed him away. she started up the dock shaking her head.

"Don't." She whimpered as she went.

"Don't what? Estrid, please, I love you! Please talk to me! We can work it out." He rushed after her and grabbed her arm again.

"Don't apologize! I'm just..."

"Uh oh. I know that look." Eric said sympathetically as he walked towards them. "She called didn't she?"

"Fuck off, Eric!" Estrid spat towards him. She wasn't in the mood to be hit on at the moment. "I'm going to bed." She started towards the cabin and Sigurd rushed to follow her.

"I'm fat and ugly." She whimpered as she started to pack up her clothes. "I'll just go. No one is going to want me anyway. You don't even want me!"

"That's not true! I want you more than you know! Stop packing and talk to me! Please!" Sigurd said as he locked the door behind him.

"Once you get me naked you won't even look at me!"

"You don't know that!"

"Yes I do! That's how it was in the shower!"

"If I looked at you we wouldn't have made it to dinner! I was so turned on by you undressing that I had to think of Sorin in the shower to stop myself from fucking you senseless!"

"No you didn't! you were so soft that it shriveled!"

"Yeah because the water was cold! Which I did on purpose by the way!" Sigurd ran his hand through his thick black hair in frustration. "Stop packing! You aren't going anywhere!" He barked and she squeaked in surprise but dropped the bikini top she was holding. His cock twitched excitedly at the thought of her in a bikini. He sighed and started to move forward slowly. He had a plan to fix the problem.

"Good. Now, take off your shirt." He watched her as she slowly pulled her shirt off. "Turn around." she did. "Take off your pants, slowly." As she bent over to push them past her knees he remembered that he had picked a lacey set of undergarments that were pale pink. The way the thong cupped her pussy and made it stand out caused him to harden instantly. He reached out and caressed her perfect ass.

"Now." He growled lustfully as he stepped up behind her and put his hands on her hips, his cock pressed between her butt cheeks. "Ohhhh. Stand up." Slowly she straightened up. The way she moved caused her ass to squeeze him and rub just slightly. Slowly he guided her towards the bathroom door. "Close it." She leaned over to close the door and he pushed his hands up to cup her breasts. When she again stood straight she shivered. Slowly he Unhooked her bra and pushed the straps down her arms as she caught it and held it to her chest. "No." He whispered in her ear and grabbed her wrists to force her arms down to her sides. "I want you to see yourself the way I do." The bra slid and this time she let it fall.

"Do you feel me?" He asked as he began to caress her beautiful breasts as they both watched in the mirror. She nodded in response as she let out a shuddery breath. Her nipples were pink and small. Her areolas were oval shaped. He trailed his finger over one to her nipple and teased it a bit. "Do you know how hard it is for me to think right now? All I can see is how beautiful you are. And I want you pinned to the bed under me, screaming in ecstasy as I plung my cock into your prefect pussy." He growled and licked her neck. "I want to sink my teeth into your neck and make you mine completely!" He pressed his mouth to the crook of her neck and sucked on it as his right hand traveled down to the waste band of her panties. His fingers teased her skin before pushing beneath the lacey material and going to her clit.

"Ahah!" Estrid gasped in surprise as he teased and pinched her sensitive bud until it was swollen. "Sigurd!" She gasped as his fingers left her bud and trailed to the waste band of her panties. He started to tug them down her legs as he kissed down her back. "What?" Her breathing was ragged now.

"I can't wait any longer Estrid. I need to taste you!" He snarled desperately. "I am going to taste you!" He was on his knees behind her now as he dropped the panties to the floor and nipped at her left ass cheek. She squealed and he took a whole mouth full of Herr butt and started to suck on the supple flesh.

"You left a hicky!" She whimpered as she caught sight of the purple and red mark on her neck. He grabbed her hips and made her turn around. It forced her to step out of her panties. He flung them across the room as he stared at his delicious dessert before his eyes. "Sigurd!" She gasped as he toyed with the brown curls of her pubic hair. She hadn't thought to get waxed before coming. He buried his nose in the curls and inhaled deeply, reveling in the intoxicating scent of her arousal.
