Robert stayed in the bathroom for just ten minutes, this was the shortest shower he had ever taken in his life. He made sure to shave everything just like Amelia suggested and when he was finally done, he dressed up quickly in the attire Amelia pick for him and headed down. Looking at his wristwatch, he realized that he was five minutes late for his own date that is taking place in his house.
Looking around, he didn't see Alicia anywhere and he was thankful that he wasn't the only one running late, so he ran back to his room and applied his cologne, he didn't apply it earlier because he was in a haste the first time. He tried calling her line and it wasn't going through so he went back down to wait for her. After waiting for about ten minutes and Alicia didn't show up, he tried her number again and it still didn't go through, so he started pacing around again and praying that everything is okay with her.
"Amelia, Alicia isn't h
"Okay, what is it, and it better not be cute," he said."Husbandly. You look like a very devoted husband who is cooking for his wife" she said.He smiled and muttered under his breath, you would be so disappointed when you taste my food, I wouldn't look so devoted then."Did you say something? I couldn't hear you", she said."Nah, I didn't say anything" he replied then he offered a silent prayer to the Moon goddess to save him just this once as they both walked into his kitchen"Okay, so how long do I have to wait for the pasta to get ready? I didn't eat lunch because I wanted to have enough space for your food" she said to him as she sat on top of the counter because there were no seats around.Her statement made him become antsy again, he was trying to liven the mood so that he wouldn't think about his bad cooking skills or lack of it thereof. He was happy
"Zane!!! Where are you hiding, come out this instance and explain yourself" Shirley screamed at the top of her voice and there was still no response from him. Its been more than ten minutes that she started looking for her mate but she couldn't find him anywhere and the mind link isn't going through. She checked everywhere in their bedroom and he wasn't there, he wasn't in the bathroom either and he wasn't in his office, rather she met James typing on a laptop, he was so engrossed in his work that he didn't notice her coming in. She knocked on the door so that he would look up but he still didn't bother to look up to check who is at the door. He must be so focused on his work that he didn't hear her knock or he just chose to ignore whoever is at the door."Good evening James, sorry to disturb you but have you seen Zane anywhere? I have been looking for him but I can't find him" Shirley said."A very good evening to you too Luna. I saw Alpha
"I can't believe that I didn't notice the storm, I was so angry looking for Zane that I became oblivious of my environment. Thank goodness that you told me about it, I was actually contemplating going outside to look for HIM" Shirley said"Remind me again why you are so angry at Zane, the reaction of every normal girl I know would have been the exact opposite of yours, I would be so happy if I happen to meet someone who cares enough to buy me clothes. It means he cares and is thoughtful enough to even know your size. They are all the perfect size, right? Hmmm...we can actually wear the same clothes though you are two or three sizes smaller, but it doesn't matter I love my clothes super tight.""I don't know if they fit because I haven't had the time to check them out, I was so busy looking for Zane. What if HE is caught in the storm? How am I supposed to save HIM when you or Robert won't be available to help me out. What if something bad hap
As soon as Amelia so rudely ended the mind-link which she initiated in the first place without waiting for HIM to complete his sentence, he dismissed James and headed to HIS bedroom immediately. Currently HE is regretting why HE hid in the first place, It seems all childish now. In as much as spending on her is another way for HIM to show HIS love, HE is ready to stop spending if that is what would truly make her happy, HE is just going to continue reminding her with HIS words and actions every day how much HE loves her and much she means to HIM. On HIS way to HIS bedroom, he thought of various ways to apologize to her, but they all didn't sound right. If HE tells her that the clothes are just a sign of HIS love for her, It would seem like HIS love is too shallow if they can be represented with just clothes, and if HE tells her that HE doesn't know any other way to express HIS love, he would appear undeserving and unworthy of her. Nothing HE says at the moment would portray HIS feel
"Robert!! go get the ice cream so that we can start watching the movie," Alicia said when she entered the living room but he was nowhere to be found, she used the opportunity to carefully look around the living room, the first time she was examining the room, she was just looking around without actually taking in the appearance. She was so nervous the moment she entered that she pretended to be looking around though she wasn't really looking, she was only trying to calm her racing heart. Now that she is feeling somewhat at home and relaxed, she noticed that the living room is enormous and beautifully decorated, no one would actually believe that the house is owned by a bachelor, It looks like where a family man and his kid live. She was admiring a painting on the wall when Robert walked in with two jumbo cups of ice cream through a door that she didn't notice all the while she has here."Wow, I did not notice that was actually a door, I thought it was a wall. It

"Do you know what I hate most in this life? It's someone who needs an excuse for everything. What!!! you are sorry? Why exactly are you sorry? Am I that bad a kisser?" Alicia said getting angry and at the same time sad at the thought that he actually thinks that she is a bad kisser. How can you so easily steal my first kiss then feel sorry afterward? That is so unfair!! So I literally saved my first kiss for someone who thinks it's not worth it? You know, I am actually hurt." Alicia whined why firing daggers at him.Robert's face fell and he shook his head several times. "No, I swear that was definitely not the reason why I apologized, I just thought it was the proper thing to do. Truthfully, I am not really sorry for kissing you, If I can go back in time, I will still kiss you that exact moment or I would even kiss you before then, probably when you drove in with your Harley, you looked exceptionally sexy then. Now, I am not saying you don't look sexy now, you
Though they drank in between their game, he still woke up early which was unusual, when he opened his eyes, he realized he was still lying on the floor in the arms of Alicia. She had most of the blanket to herself but he didn't mind one bit. He could not contain his happiness that he smiled so big. He glanced at the clock mounted on the wall across from where they were lying and saw that it was past seven but he was not in a haste to get up. They both fell asleep together in each other's arms and it felt so good. He can not remember the last time he felt this happy and lighthearted in a long while. Now he understands the reason Zane started glowing and changing the moment HE found HIS mate. Sleeping next to Alicia alone is something he would not mind killing if it gets to that just to experience again. It feels so good to have her right in his arms. He kept his arms wrapped around her as he leaned in and kissed her neck lightly so that she won't wake up. Then he willed himself to go
"Are you sure it's still going to fit okay? I seem to have added much in the past few days," Shirley said pulling her button lips between her teeth as as she fiddled nervously with the fabric of her dress."Trust me, it would and you are going to look gorgeous in it," Amelia said smiling with reassurance as she gave her Shirley's dress one look. "Now hurry up, you wouldn't want to be late to your own house opening and the homecoming party of your mate would you?"Shirley's lips twitched as she exhaled slowly, mentally psyching herself up to step out in the public as Luna after several years of staying hidden.'We have got this Shirl,' Shirley's wolf said."Okay," Shirley replied, her eyes sparkling with gratitude as she started putting on her dress. "I feel like a princess," Shirley giggled."You should be talking about looking like a queen now. Leave the title of princess for your son's mate, Constance. You look like a sexy and elega
"Hey," Shirley said with a smile the moment she opened her eyes."Good morning to you too beautiful," Zane replied.As usual, he woke up before her. These past few days were the best she had had so far. They were days they spent to process everything that has happened so far. She woke up every morning to see Zane already awake and staring at her lovingly. She had barely gone out since he returned, just like all those years ago when he got captured, only that this time, she spent her days laughing with him by her side."Tell me again, how did you feel when you found out that you were pregnant with our son?" Zane asked twirling her hair in his hand."That again? I have told you that story several times already, aren't you tired of hearing it? Ask me something else," Shirley replied with a smile."No, I want to hear it again. I want you to tell it to me every day, I can never get tired of it,""It's old news already. What I can't get over

"We need to get out of here and look for Zane," Shirley stated and all the wolves nodded and yipped in agreement."So...any plan? Or are we all going to go look for him?" A wolf said."The plan..... half of us will go in search of him while the rest will stay and watch our back," Shirley replied and immediately they divided themselves into two groups. The plan was to sneak out and look for Zane and Robert and release them before anyone sees them, but it was too big a risk and she wasn't sure how well it would work out when they do not know what they are up against.If Davina killed fifty of them, just how many more are left? She felt scared but she refused to voice out her fears so that the rest would not be discouraged.As they marched out of their cell, her wolf reminded her that she was there with her and there was nothing to be afraid of and that made her bold. She remembered that her wolf is vicious in her own way and she was eager to take down every

Shirley rushed to her son and collected the chains from his hands. She wasn't comfortable in watching her son kill someone before her eyes, if she had her way, she wouldn't want him to kill anyone at all. "I will handle this myself," she said to him, when she saw him hesitate."What the hell are you doing?" Davina gasped, opening her mouth so that she would be able to breathe."What the hell does it look like?" Shirley sneered tightening her hold on the chains. "I am killing you of course,""How...how...how could you? You..you were the...one preaching... about fair and square, so... how could you?" Davina said."Fair and square? I don't know what that fago? Were you been fair when you kidnapped us from our own homes? Were you been fair when you forced my young son watch something so obscene? Answer me! Were you been fair?" Shirley screamed, choking her with the chain. "If you can't answer that, then you have no business speaking about fairness."Da

So this is how you pay me for my generosity and hospitality? I should have known better. Wolves are same with fox and being kind to them is nothing but a waste of one's time, "Davina said.Shirley said. "Did I hear you say generosity and hospitality? Do you even know the meaning of those?" Shirley asked.You will see. Since you are not satisfied with what you are given, I will make it a point of duty that you are no longer given any. "You just lost all your privileges. That is your punishment for disrespecting me," Davina said, kneeling to her level to shove her face away.Shirley laughed and actually barked in her face, which caught her off guard. Then she said, "What privileges are you talking about?
A bang on the door jolted them all from their thoughts and they looked to see a hand push in several trays of food through the section of the door. It didn't take long before the smell of warm food hit their nostrils.Hunter's mouth felt dry and he looked at his mom to confirm if they were going to eat the food or not, and when she nodded, he undid his cuffs and stood up wearily from the floor to go bring the food closer. His knees groaned in protest but he made his way to the latch several times and retrieved the food trays and water."How are you able to get out of this sliver cuff? Didn't it burn you?" Shirley asked when she saw Hunter without his cuffs.Hunter shrugged and said, "I stared at it intently and asked it to open and it did. But I tried opening everyone else's own but it didn't work.""It's okay, it is nothing to be sad about," Shirley replied when she saw his face fall.When he was done bringing the food closer, all except Shirley w
