The next morning, bright and early as the day, I went out wearing a tracksuit and a pair of running shoes. I informed Thomas that I was out for a jog and a cup of coffee at the nearest coffee shop.My heart was pounding as I jogged from the house to the café shop that was almost four miles away. But as I sighted the blue and white umbrellas perched on the little wooden tables and chairs that dotted the front of the little café, I stopped and grinned as I looked at the elegant cream teacup designs on the glass door. The scent of freshly grounded coffee and baked goodies welcomed me as I opened the door. I was extremely delighted when I discovered that my favourite coffee place was not so far away from my new home.I usually flew in to patronize the place and I greeted the few staff around, Bianca was already waving happily at me. “Let me just get my order, I will be joining you shortly.” I waved back at her and found my way to the counter.Francis, the son of the owner of the coffee
The trip to Maine was such a cool and pleasant one. We arrived there later that day and Carl looked both annoyed and pleased as I laid on his chest, thoroughly, and exhausted. He was rather nervous and guilty about how our marriage had been going, especially with that stupid redhead, Amanda, or whatever she called herself who was constantly making herself a nuisance. He was rather worried as Elvis and Lincoln approached him at different times before he left the feast, threatening him that they would take me away from him. He knew Lincoln was powerful but not as powerful as he was, and he was crazy about his best friend and I was oblivious to it.Elvis was just an opportunistic playboy, who wanted his cousin for her beauty and power. Obviously.Something that struck him was the mystery gift he received; a bloody mask signed 'L. W.' He had pondered on who had the initials and would be bold enough to send such a threat.I snuggled closer to him unknowingly as he carried me into his beac
As we both went back to bed that night, both of us were lost in our thoughts. Carl could not believe that I was that read and I could not believe that my mate had such an interesting past. He was wearing only boxer shorts, while I wore an oversized shirt and a pair of boy shorts. The night was really cold and as we climbed into bed, I commented about it offhandedly.“You do know that you have a mate here at your service, it will not pay you if you keep to your side of the bed.” the thunderous but soft voice of Carl toned in my ears as I plumped my pillow and sighed. The sheets were very luxurious in feeling to me and I soon found myself asleep, curled underneath my mate. I felt really warm that way, and contented.~~~~~~~~~~~~~Carl woke up the next morning as the bright light from an open curtain streamed on his face and lit up the room. It seemed someone had opened the curtain and windows, allowing the fresh cool sea breeze to blow in softly. He sat up from his sleep and looked ar
“You can actually talk to me in whatsoever manner you desire, you can give me the silent treatment. But you cannot swim away from me and my watch. I am in charge here. You are my mate in my custody, what will anyone say if something went wrong with you?” Carl yelled at her.Elise looked at him and sighed, “Are you done shouting? Who made you lord over my life? Because it was not really necessary to shout Carl. In fact I just feel that this is guilt for what you did to me. And besides something is always wrong with me when it comes to you in charge. Maybe you should look into that instead of yelling at me.” she said slowly. Carl was really infuriated with her and he knew she was manipulating him.“Elise I do not appreciate all these attitude I am getting from you. Are you blaming me for everything that has happened so far? Because I was not responsible for your illness neither was I responsible for your attitude.” Carl said as he walked to where she sat on the long island.Elise laughe
The trail where the man followed soon narrowed and no matter how much speed both Elise and Lincoln put in. The man seemed to outrun them and they both chased him, until what seemed like a dead end, a bricked up wall in a lonely alley and the fellow disappeared.They both walked back navigating their way back to the lounge, the host was almost prostrating as he led them back to their seats and promised a tighter security. Elise ignore him and looked at Lincoln in sadness. “You keep making excuses Lincoln. I don’t want to hear it actually. If you are here to do so then I can leave here after taking my mimosa.” Elise said gravely, Lincoln looked at her and bowed his head.“ I just knew a lost a huge gem when I saw you at the wedding. I felt that a part of me was taken away. And I decided to see you and tell you some things about your mate, besides what was the rushed wedding for?” he asked as he sipped his drink.“ Really! Because you don’t seem genuine. You are here to dish dirt on Car
She felt the mist rise up as she looked around still searching for Lucas and she walked on a bit before she stumbled. Carl looked for her in the mist and he felt very miserable as he did so. “Where on earth was Elise?” his wolf worsened the whole thing when it began making small pained whines. He knew if anything went wrong with Elise he would have himself to blame.He suddenly shifted to his wolf and howled loudly, because he felt that she was in danger or something evil was happening to her. It was like someone was struggling with her and he gave a second howl and he sighted her in the clearing mist. He fly like he bumped into someone even as he rushed to her, but he ignored the feeling, all that mattered was that Elise was safe.He shifted back to his human form and ran to hug her. He picked her up and carried her in is arms and sped back to the house. Elise felt the air fill with tension as she tried to wrap her mind around what had just happened, who was Lucas? Why on earth was h
The sun was out shining brightly and the beach area seemed a little crowded, a mother was seated under a purple umbrella. She and her daughter who looked like a year old had the same copper brown hair and gray eyes. They also wore matching flowery one piece bikinis. Elise looked at them lovingly and Carl hugged her. There was a group of teenagers playing with a ball that rolled over to their side. Carl picked the black and white ball and threw it back. They all yelled their thanks and continued their game. They walked down to a row of some old shops made from browned tin roof and palm leaves, there was a row of coconut trees behind them, that gave shade to the sellers.Carl pulled Elise into one of the shops, where an old man dressed in a blue shirt and jean shorts that matched his eyes, sold jewellery. They both looked at his little collection and Carl bought her a silver and ruby pendant with the inscription of the infinity sign.Elise thanked him, but her mind was not really with
“Bianca! Bianca! Pick this phone up now.” Elise almost yelled in frustration as she chewed on her sandwich filled with avocado, lettuce, chicken and tomato. Carl had gone out to attend to business, leaving her and the maid in charge,……….. in the huge house.Elise had taken a shower changed into a purple kimono and silk and fur sandals. Then the maid fixed her a plate of sandwiches and coconut milk infused with cinnamon. She decided to call Bianca and send the text to Bianca. But she had not picked up her phone.“Hello! Chica what is up baby girl? You have not been dropping juicy details on the group. In fact you have been hoarding sweet information from us.” Bianca accused her as she called.“Sorry! I have been to busy to even come on the group. Besides the last time I checked you were getting it from Vince, that hot shot at your work place. That aside! There is fire on the mountain! You have to help your girlfriend out.” Elise begged as she dropped the sandwich in her hand and sat up
