Chapter 18 - CHAPTER EIGHTEEN

ADRI

"I can't cook to save my life",Daniel grins,I scoff in reply.I mean,what if we went on a vacation or something without the help and I was ill and stuff.Would I have to eat canned food?.I'm thinking ahead people!.

"You are so unromantic.I mean what if I'm ill or something in the future,no house help to cook.What would you do then?",he just gives me a sheepish smile.I groan loudly,I like men who can cook.

My dad is an amazing chef.

Currently,we are all in the living room right before the kitchen,Zach is sprawled on the floor,Danny and Lumi cuddling on the love chair while my mate is on the sofa,me cuddling my mate's chest,sitting on his lap.God I love his body.We chose to stay close to the kitchen so Danny could check on the sauce he was making.

There was still no sign of Kate and Keith.

"Still no sign of those two.I'm kinda scared",I grimace at the thought of my bestie literally burying her mate with heavy words.

"They might be making out or something",Lumi pipes up with a wink as her mate sends her a pinch.Just before she was about to react to what her mate did,there was a loud scream.

"What the hell was that?!",I yell shooting up from my mate's laps.

God,I miss his warm body already.

Really Adri?..that scream sounded like Kate.

"It's Kate",panic coating my voice.What happened now?.Coming here was a bad idea after all.

"I think I spoke too soon",Lumi says getting up from the love seat,followed by Danny.Zach too had gotten up from his sprawled out position on the floor.

"That's definitely from the riverside,where I left them",he confirms as I immediately raced over there.Daniel and the rest in tow.God they really need to just get over this phase and move to the honeymoon phase already.

Finally arriving at the riverside,Kate was raging mad.What in the world did Keith say to her?.I've never seen her this mad.Keith looked equally mad too.Kate's back was to us and Keith was facing her,glaring at her.Okay,he had a look of rage in his eyes too.

"I'll drown you!.You have no right to talk to me that way.You bloody don't own me and FYI,you cannot police me!",my best friend yelled at her mate.

"Just to be sure,can Keith swim?",I ask in a monotone voice as four werewolves look at me like I've gone berserker."What?.I'm just looking out for Keith",I simply state.

"Of course he can",my mate supplies.

"And she could never drown him,they are too far away from the water",Danny states the obvious,I shrug at his words.

Yeah,he is right.She couldn't drown him even if she wanted to.

"And you have no right to flirt with any male werewolf in sight!.You are my mate!",Keith seeths.

Raking her left hand through her chocolate hair,my best friend screamed again,we all winced.

"Man,can she scream",Zach mutters.

"She has amazing banshee abilities",I say supressing a smile,they all stare at me like I've lost it.

"Shouldn't you at least try to calm your best friend down?",Lumi asks as I shake my head.

"No way in hell.The last time I tried to separate Kate in a fight,I ended up having a broken thigh bone",I say.

"I think it's best we all just watch",she smiles sheepishly.

"Chicken",Danny mutters.Lumi gives him a death glare and he sends her an apologetic look.

"That's it",my best friend let out a strangled scream and next thing we know,Keith is tossed in the river.Like,in the blink of an eye.

There is a reasonable distance between where we all stood and the river,how in the world did Kate push him that far and with what strength.

I swear to God the distance from where they stood to the river could still accommodate a car.Like you could park a truck there.That's how far they were to the water.

"What...The..",my mate speaks incoherently.Sprinting off to where Keith was splashed in the water.

"Hell!",I supply as I jog over to Kate who is shivering.

The guys went to the river to see to Keith while Lumi and I scrutinised Kate.

"How did you do that?!.We just looked away for one second and boom,he was in the water!",Lumi whisperyells.I'm in total shock at what just happened.

"What just happened?",a dazed Kate asks.

"That's what we all would like to know",Daniel says approaching us with the rest of the guys and a drenched Keith in tow.I suppress the urge to laugh hysterically,it's just,he looks like a wet kitten.

His black shirt clinging to his body,so did his blue denim jeans.

Well,he doesn't look enraged anymore,mostly shocked...he is totally shocked and bewildered.

"I..I...I dunno.I was just so angry and I had the urge to injure him,I only wanted to shove him a little.I don't know-----are you alright?",she looks at Keith,concern lacing her voice.This is the first time since they met that she is actually concerned about him.

Keith nods,his body slightly shivering.

"I'm so sorry",Kate says walking over to embrace him.

Okay,now the rest of us are more shocked,almost like we just got electrocuted.Just standing and taking in everything that these two are doing.

One minute they are yelling at each other,tossing each other in the river and now they are hugging?.

"Can anybody,someone please explain to me what just happened here?",the elderly male voice booms.

We all being too shocked didn't even realise that all the pack elders were here already.

"Dad",Daniel tries to explain.

**************************************

DANIEL COLE

This would have been a more serious situation if Danny wasn't sniffing as he gathers the crumbs of his burnt sauce.

We were all so engrossed in the big fight,we forgot all about his sauce on the gas.It was the burning smell that attracted my mum to the kitchen then they heard what was happening at the riverside.

Werewolf hearing

Danny was really mourning over the loss of his amazing sauce.Lumi,giving him consoling pats at the back.

I swear the guy is a clown,who gets so emotional over a burnt sauce.

"Kate,how do you feel now?",my mum asks a sheet white Kate who mods in reply.Clutching her hot chocolate cup.

"I feel better",she says with a small smile,my mum smiles back at her then at Adrianna who is sitting next to Kate.

This isn't exactly how I planned for Adrianna to meet my parents for the first time but oh well,it can't be helped.

Adrianna smiles at my mom shyly who in turn winks at me.

Mom!.

Keith finally graces us with his presence after changing into a white vest and black jeans.His golden hair still slightly wet.

Kate sniffs on seeing him,probably feeling more guilty about what she did.They lock eyes for a second before Keith takes a seat far away from her and the rest of us,this causes Kate to groan.Adrianna places her hand on hers,trying to sooth her pain.

"So since Keith is here.We can finally talk about what happened back there",my dad sitting beside mum says breaking the silence.

Dad..still the alpha and my mum still the Luna until they hand over to me talked to the other elders,saying they would address the issue themselves.

"Must we talk about it?",Keith growls.

We all know why he doesn't want to talk about it.His big large ego had been deflated.Keith's the bad boy,stone cold wolf boy and his mate just easily shoved him into a river.

That must be really hard for his ego to take in.

"We all know your ego is deflated man,but we have to talk about it",Danny pipes up throwing the remains of his sauce in the little trash can."Gosh,talk about a waste of good recipe",he mutters.

"Sorry babe.You are still the best chef in the world",she says,he smiles and they are both about to kiss when my parents clear their throat.I can't help but snicker.

Lumi smiles sheepishly,her cheeks in flames while Danny grins.

Zach asked to be excused,I think he feels Keith and Kate argued cos of him.What he doesn't know his,those two were probably paired up by the moon goddess to have them argue all the time.

"I just really need to know how I did that.I'm not that strong",Kate says in a tiny voice causing Keith to snort.My parents glare at him before I can,he raises both hands in surrender,staying quiet.

"We think we might know what you are",alpha says,his dark blue eyes giving nothing away.

"What is she?",Adrianna asks the question on everyone's tongue.

"She is an Emisario",Mum supplies,all eyes immediately land on Kate.

"Emi what now?",a shocked Kate asks.
