They both made their way to the washbasin in our garden and washed their face and hands. Xander helped the little boy to clean up.
*Giggles*
"That tickles, Zandiii." Eric squealed and squirmed in his large muscular arms. Xander laughed genuinely at the little boy. He looked so happy and carefree as if he was showing his true self. I looked at the beautiful sight in front of me with a big smile on my face. I felt so warm and fuzzy all over my heart.
I picked two towels and went near them. Our eyes clashed with each other, I gave one to Xander and bent to Eric's height, wiping the water off his face and hand.
"What did you make for us, Aunt, Kitty?" the little champ asked me, he was a little jumpy on his toes. I really didn't know where he was getting all this energy from.
"Chicken sandwich and lemonade," I answer him in a soft voice. His eyes lit up instantly and he dashed to the stone bench where our food was located. I chortled softly at his retre
He looked at the little boy with adoration and longing. Was he longing for a kid? My heart ached for this devastated man who made my heart flip. He had lost his soul mate at this young age. His eyes were filled with tenderness and pure love, it was a total contrast of his arrogant, brooding self.Whenever he was in the same room with me, all I feel was his strong, powerful aura with his masculinity. But today, I saw a playful, carefree, friendly self of him and I totally love this side of him.I scooped Eric's sleeping form in my arms and he clutched the front of my floral shirt in his tiny fist on reflex and buried his face in my chest still sleeping. He snuggled to me and I could hear light snores from him. The little boy looked calm, but he wouldn't sit in one place when he was not sleeping.I smiled at his sleeping form and made my way to my bedroom closely followed by Xander, he opened the door for me since I was carrying Eric in my arms. As soon as I
"Finally my granddaughter is getting a boyfriend, I am so proud of you, sweetie." She patted my head like I achieved a Nobel Prize. I pouted at her and swatted her hand playfully which made her gurgle at me. Her eyes crinkled at the corner and she looked happy. I was not even sure what was going in that head of his."I'm going to check on Eric," I pointed my thump upstairs and awkwardly walked away from her, she chortled at me softly."Cathie, Just don't rush things with Alex, I heard that he lost his Girlfriend and still grieving her death." She advised me. I stopped at the first step and gave her my full attention.Did my granny know about his personal life?"Give him some space to adjust with you, will you?" she asked me with full of concern. I think my granny didn't know that he was a werewolf, that's why she was calling his mate as his girlfriend."Okay, but what happened to her? How did she die?" I was really curious about his mate's death bu
He was not any guy; he was Drake, Xander's younger brother. He was looking at me with an apologetic smile for scaring me."Geez, don't pull this act again, I nearly died of a heart attack," I pointed an accusing finger at him and leaned backward away from him with my wide doe-like eyes. I was sure that I would be looking like a funny anime character at this jiffy."Sorry about that," he rubbed the back of his neck and gave me a sheepish smile. I nodded my head with my eyes still wide as if, someone was going to scare me again."So… what made you give me a near-death experience?" I asked him sarcastically. He groaned at me in a protesting way which made me chuckle."Just kidding," I giggled."Where are you heading to?" he enquired adjusting the straps of his bag."Creative writing,""Me too, let us go together." He suggested and I bobbed my head in accord.Rachel was already waiting for me when I reached our class. She wa
"You should be thankful that I didn't punish Leila for spilling my business." My eyes widened at the mention of Leila."I swear, I won't talk about your mate," I assured him, not wanting anyone to get hurt because of me. His nose flared, and he took few steps closer to me and bent down to my height. I was too flabbergasted by everything that was going on. I didn't dare to breathe and my doe-like eyes were wide with agitation.He looked into my eyes. His eyes held wrath while mine held terror. His blue against my brown; Ocean against the land; Werewolf against a human; Alpha against a commoner. I was literally trembling in my spot."You better not," his voice was too calm but his eyes held war. I nodded my head, gulping down my anxiety.********After that incident, I made my way to the cafeteria with a sullen expression. My mood was grim. I surveyed the café and spotted Paul along with Chloe, Rachel, and some of his boys. They were sitting n
It was our friends. They hadn't left the place, they were eavesdropping on us. They were all grinning at us, like lunatics."Hey, it is just a friendly dinner," Jake defended us."Yeah sure," Dalton rolled his eyes. Paul scrutinized his gaze upon Jake."If you hurt her, I'll chop your balls off and shove it down your throat." Paul threatened Jake like an overprotective mother hen."Jeez, Paul, calm down, it was just a friendly date." Chloe wrapped her arms around her boyfriend and kissed his jaw to calm him. Paul sighed and hugged her back."Point taken," Jake raised his hands in surrender.After our little chit-chat, we all scurried away and went along with our schedule. Rachel pulled me alone with her. We both have the same class which was business English, and there was still time for that to begin.*********"Now care to explain," Rachel crossed her arms in front of her chest and gave me a stern look. This was bad, this was
It had been a year since I was met with an accident. I was traveling to Maine, to visit my grandma, Brown. After that terrible accident in New York, I almost died. My parents became extra protective of me because I was their only child. They were well aware of my rebellious side, which keeps them worried. My Mom thought it's enough of my irresponsibility and decided to send me to my granny. The population of Maine was pretty less compared to New York. This place was so green and the majority of this place was covered by trees, mosses, and ferns. It was green everywhere. The air was also fresh and calming. It's a peaceful place. My granny's home was located in an isolated place, away from the town. Her place was surrounded by forest. Every time we visit the stores it takes half an hour to reach it from my granny's home. I know it didn't sound convenient but her place was worth the trouble. "You don't look like you belong here, are you visiting someone?
"I want you home before twelve and no alcohol. Paul, Rachel please do take care of her and don't leave her side." She told them with concern and worry etched face. They both nodded in unison."Granny, don't worry about me, I'll be fine. Now please give me that breathtaking smile of yours." She gave me her most charming smile, making her wrinkles prominent."When are we leaving?" I asked Rachel, who was already dressed in a short sleeveless red dress to ravish the night."We are leaving at half-past eight." I checked the time and it was fifteen to eight. So I have forty-five minutes to get ready."I'll be back after a shower.""Sure,""Rachel can you please select a dress for me from my baggage. I didn't unpack my suitcase yet." We both walked upstairs to my new bedroom, while Paul chatted with my granny in the living room about his plans after college.After my blissful bath with my vanilla and strawberry hair wash, I walked out of th
This was not my room. I sat upright on the bed and examined my surrounding. The room was so dark, and the windows were covered by a curtain. The furniture was made up of cherry wood. The room had a dark and powerful aura. There was a masculine touch to its decoration.Where in the hell, I landed myself?Oh my god, was I kidnapped? Thousands of questions were raised in my mind. I carefully tiptoed to the door, to sneak out of this room. I was still wearing my black lace dress, I slowly opened the door and checked my sides for any soul.After confirming that the area was clear, I walked out of the room and turned to shut the door softly. After I succeeded, I turned to walk away but suddenly I was bumped into a wall."Oomph! Where the hell does this wall comes from?" I muttered under my breath, nursing my poor nose."I can assure you that I'm not a wall." I was startled by a deep husky voice from my front. I raised my head to look into a set of deep s

I opened and closed my mouth like a fish out of water to give him a comeback but I couldn't find anything intelligible. So, I swatted his chest playfully and made my way to Eric who was now looking at Xander with his big brown eyes filled with approbation. I could hear Xander's hearty chuckle from my behind, because of my reaction. I scowled at him and crossed my arms in front of my chest. "Where is your granny? She asked me to bring her some plant saplings," he informed me and scanned our garden for her. "She went to the town to meet her old friend," I notified him. She knew that we had more than enough saplings to plant. She told me that she will be meeting her friend the previous night, then why did she ask him for more saplings. I swear that old lady was trying to set me up with Xander, not that I was complaining but still my feeling for him was complicated. I'll talk to her once she came home. "Okay then, I'll help you guys with this work
I knew he was happy that the boys accepted me. He was just trying to cover up. Suddenly the doorbell rang. "It must be them," Paul stated. "I got this," I told them and made my way to get the door. I opened it to witness the guy that I met at the mall a few days ago with Rachel and Eric, beside him, there stood a handsome Asian guy. Jake looked shocked at my presence but he started smiling at my wide eyes and parted lips. I bet I looked like a Pikachu right now. "Catherine! Never expected that you'll stalk me, all you have to do is call me." he gave me a cheeky wink. My mouth opened and closed like a fish out of water. He laughed heartily at my expression and tapped on my nose. "Just kidding," he gave me a lopsided grin. After they entered, I closed the door behind us. Jake looked like he was on cloud nine. "Briton! Man, took you long to reach here?" Paul asked Jake and did a bro hug with him followed by the Asian guy, whose la
"Who?" I frowned at him. About whom was he talking about? My question made him scoff at me."The guy that you are flirting with at the Starbucks." He told me with a deadly calm tone. Then I realized that he was talking about Jake, the guy who approached me today while I was having my drink."Excuse me, that's none of your business." I snapped at him. How dare he assume things? Whether I flirt with Jake or not, that was not his business, I was not going to allow him to step all over me."So you were flirting with him, huh?" he looked mad, he took a threatening step towards me. I stood my ground and crossed my arms in front of my chest."I was not flirting with him!" I stressed out each word through my clenched teeth."Then who is he?!" he demanded, his eyes locked with mine, unwavering."Why do you care?!"He didn't say anything, we were both breathing harshly. We didn't move an inch, our intense gaze clashed with each other.Su
