Chapter 4 - Chapter 4

Devon P.O.V.

It was already lunch time; I walked down the halls accompanied by my best friend Connor, still thinking about the fiasco this morning.

I saw the look in her eyes when I pulled her away from Kristie; it was as if... she rejected me. I didn't mean to hurt her I just didn't want her to stain her precious little hands.

Man... I really am messed up. Just three months ago I had been thinking of the best way to humiliate her once more but now, I wanted to beat up anyone who ever hurt her including me. sure it shocked me when Kristie kissed me but i couldn't be mad, after all; it was all thanks to her why i even have a chance, she really is a good girl if it wasn't for her, then maybe I would have been officially rejected on the spot.

It's thanks to her that I at least have a 1% chance of making things right with Rose. I love her and can't forgive myself for only noticing it now.

Walking through the canteen and sitting down on out table, I zoned out as Kristie started talking about the party they will hold later in celebration on my eighteenth birthday.

I started imagining the rest of my life with Rose, our three little kids two girls one boy all of them getting a mixture of Rose's and my's facial structures. I was imagining myself picking up my son from falling on the ground and getting mud allover himself with me saying.

"Look at how dirty you've become what would your mother say?"

But then suddenly I was brought out of my trance by a sweet voice saying my name.

I turned around to see Rose lustered while fiddling a bit with the end of her sweater; she looked really cute doing that.

"Ummm... Devon can I talk to you for a bit?" she sounded a bit unsure but then I suddenly stood up.

"Sure, let's go."

She followed me until we finally reached a place with no people around; thankfully it wasn't that far so the silence was short kept.

"Now what did you want to talk about?" I looked straight into her eyes.

"...well... do you love her?"

'What?!' I screamed inside. What was she talking about, wait, I mean who?

"I mean... Kristie..."

"What?! Of course not? Why would you think that?"

"Well... I... no it's nothing. Happy birthday!" she suddenly smiled but I knew it was fake.

"...thanks." I want to ask her more but... how could I bring it up now?

I just watched as her back got farther and farther, with me just standing there motionless.

'Why do I always manage to hurt her?! And why couldn't I do anything to stop her from going away?' I scolded myself.

"Isn't it because at the moment you don't deserve her?" Fenris my wolf spoke.

"What do you mean?"

"Well for your information you hurt your mate for 10 years and now you expect to get back with her with a snap of a finger?"

"Well what do you expect me to do?!"

"Don't speak to me in that manner boy, you have only met me yesterday and this is how you respond? Learn your manners; make it up to her, so that I can be with my mate! I have watched your impudent ways for far too long."

He half spoke half growled at me making me shut up and think about what I actually need to think about.

"I'll make it up to her, I promise."

At that last sentence I started to plan out what I would do. I would start this evening; I'll make her love me back.

Kristie P.O.V.

I soon followed Devon and Rose a bit worried but I don't know what about. I turned past many corners but I just couldn't find them. I wonder where they are.

I smelled a familiar minty scent past the next corner and I knew just who it came from. Finally!!! =)

I turned the corner to see Devon standing there alone but Rose's scent still lingered that means it wasn't long before she left.

"Hey Devon! Is everything alright?" I asked a bit worried since he had shown an expression I had never seen before.

Something in the middle of joy, sadness, and anger? Ok I don't know how that makes sense... I might be wrong, he might have actually just felt constipated or something~ =P

I insisted on going back to the cafeteria with me but he kept refusing saying that he had to go somewhere. It was not before long that I found out why.

Damn Devon was already 3 steps ahead of us all in setting his party in action, but as soon as I saw him back in the pack house, (yeah... I may have skipped a few classes... oh well I have pretty high grades anyway~ <3 ), he left yet again but this time bringing Olivia with him, why? I have absolutely no Idea at all!!!

What would he need her for anyway?

I just shrugged it off knowing that Dev wouldn't be that bad of a person so I headed to the kitchen and started baking the treats like cakes, cookies, etc. that would be munched down on by hungry sugar loving people for his birthday.

I baked them now because if I were to cook the main foodses now they would be all cold and nobody wants that. But of course I already got started on a few yesterday, when? Seeecret~

[Author's note: ps. The instructions here are totally true came from and old recipe book from my grandma's time and everything there is really yummy] you can skip this part if you don't want to read about baking

I got the cookie dough from the refrigerator and started molding them into many tiny little shapes, time consuming but very cute when they're ready. After setting them in the oven to bake I got out 10 eggs (2-1/2 cups), ½ sugar plus 2 Tbsps. Sugar, 1 tsp. NECO chocolate brown food colour. And set them in the mixing bowl beat on High Speed for 6 minutes until it was very thick. *French carrack cake: (old-fashioned chiffon cake)

*for the chocolate topping* While that was mixing i placed in a pan to melt: I cup of chopped Ricoa Dark Sweat Chocolate bar (for baking) at low fire ( or micro on HIGH for 1 minute for every cup.

*for the chocolate icing* and while that was melting I beat 1 cup ANCHOR BUTTER in a bowl at high speed- yes they have a ton of baking stuffs- until it turned creamy, then added 1 cup of sifted confection sugar, ¼ cup cocoa ricoa powder. 1 Tbsp. Café Puro instant coffee and let it beat again till it was smooth.

I went back to the cake batter to see it was now thick. I folded it in carefully at LOW SPEED, SMALL STROKES and divided the mixture into three: 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 Tbsp. Backing Powder, ½ cup stiffed cocoa ricoa, and lastly added into the thirds, ¼ cup cooking oil.

Then I mixed them while pouring the batter into 3 pcs. 9-inch round layer pans lined with wax paper. And baked it in another over at 350F or 175C for 25-30 minutes until the cake would spring back.

Going back to the topping I poured it into another 9-inch round pan with wax paper underneath and put it into the freezer to freeze for 10 minutes.

And back to the Chocolate icing I mixed in slowly 1 Tbsp. at a time only, 1 cup very cold whipping cream / milk. Beating them well after each addition. And left them to put later on the cake.

*I used the time left here to get the cookies out of the first oven and placed another batch of treats*

With the cake soon done and cooled down, topping frozen (loosen out the sides and slice into fans on a chopping board and used extras to form candy chocolate shapes). I spread the icing between layers, top and sides of the cake and left some for rosettes (place in a pastry bag use a stir tip). Then topped the cake with rosettes of cream icing, placed the chocolate fans, topped with cherry in the center and sift powdered sugar on top.

*baking part done*

His cake was ready and yes he loves chocolate, all the treats were finished then I looked at the time. Sweet holy jashin it was already 3 the others are gonna be home soon.

I place the cake in the ref. and covered it putting a sign that says "if you touch this the wrath of the alpha will be upon you." I then cleaned up the mess I've made and darn it I I smell like a sugar plum fairy.

I was going to head upstairs to hopefully change my clothes and fix my hair but then the door was already opening ohmigoodness they're already here I didn't even notice the car pull up on the driveway or even park.

I panicked and did the only thing I could do that would not get them suspicious of my actions (ps. The bad girls never bake let alone cook)

I got out my perfume from my bag which I just threw on the couch and sprayed myself all over, this would hide the 'I was baking scent' and removed my hair tie which immediately made my hair all ruffled up. Ugh my solution was not helping at all!!!

They stepped inside and I posed as if I just 'came downstairs to get a cup of water look'. Connor entered, of course, followed by Adeline, some more of Connor and Dev's friends and finally rose.

"So you were feeling feverish huh? I'm not sure about that but it does look like you had a quite the hot time ehhh?!"

Connor said in a flirting-joking manner.

"Oh haha. Very funny let's just get the decorations set alright?" Adeline sort of somehow defended me.

When they all laughed we proceeded to get the decorations out. I mind linked a small "Thank you" to her to let her know I was grateful. Wait... does she know I'm not the bad girl I portray myself to be?

"Come on girl let's get you freshened up before more guys jump on you." She mind linked back to me...I sweat dropped at that comment... guess that answers my question.

She then told me to go take a shower as she gets some of my clothes, and so I did. After the bath and me putting on the extremely skimpy clothes Ade got which I didn't even know I had. We started chatting about the fun we were gonna have later.

I want to change to jeans and a simple shirt then I got an idea.

"Wait were going out to get ready soon right? So if we wear tight clothes when we change it might ruin out makeup and hair."

"Oh your right! Let's go change."

I did a small victory pose in my head as I was successful in my thinking skills. Oh yeah and if you were wondering, yes we do help in getting parties ready but this time the boys insisted that they do the decorating work while we girl get the chips / unhealthy snacks and soft drinks.

;P
