I have finally started to get used to the Royal pack and today i was looking for a rental space to open a flower shop. Tan had a passion for gardening so i figured instead of just having an amazing garden we could start selling flowers and earn money which we could use for stuff, not that we needed the money because he had enough money to last us a lifetime but i wasn't born to be a house wife.
"I like this one better, it a junction and close to the farmer's market, what do you think?", Alessia told me when we reached this cute place. It was modern and had huge glass windows just what we needed for a flower shop. "I love it!", i replied. We returned to her house and made a few calls, they didn't have any pending offer so i went for it. "They will send the lease contract via email", i told Alessia who was busy making cookies for the kids at the orphanage. She was the head nanny at the center and she loved kids to her bones. "These are amazing", i commented when i took one of the cookies when she was not looking. "Lola! don't do that. What is up with people and stealing my cookies", she complained and her face just got ten times more adorable. "Alessia, your cookies are delicious, am pretty sure that is why even Jasper is addicted to them", i said wiggling my eyebrows making her cheeks turn as red as a tomato. "You are a bad influence", she said and threw another cookie at me which i caught with ease and continued enjoying the delicious creations.
When i got home i started preparing dinner, i was so excited that i could finally stop staying at home doing nothing. There was a knock on the door and i did a happy dance while going to open it. "Hi Andra, come in", i said happily she was on the fiends zone now that i knew she was not trying to take my mate away from me. She entered the house and i told her to follow me to the kitchen. I offered her some wine which she accepted with a nervous smile, i figured it was because we weren't close yet. "So, did you also train with Jasper and Roman?", he eyes went wide when i called Roman by his first name. It happened to me alot actually, they usually just called him Alpha or Your majesty, i tried a couple of times and he shut me down so i didn't really care what people thought about me calling him that way. "I did, we were...close", she replied then turned to the door. "He is here isn't he? Man! i wish i had the enhanced hearing too sometimes, i have never, not even once been able to sneak up on him, can you believe it?", "He is not named Stealth for no reason", she replied in a low voice as if i wasn't supposed to hear, but i decided to ignore it and focus on the angry looking piece of meat that just walked in the house. Why was he angry? may be a bad day? I decided to ask him when we were alone. "Andra, what are you doing here?", the voice was almost indescribable it made her tremble, gosh even i did. "I wanted to see you, i tried mind linking you but you blocked me so-", "So you decided to come to the only one place i specifically told you not to?", before she could answer a happy Alessia walked in with cookies in her hands followed by Jasper who had his eyes trained on Andra the moment they walked in. What was going on?. "Am sorry, i just want to talk to you in private, p-please", she was nervous, but why? He led her to the patio. "What's happening?", i asked but they shrugged their shoulders.
We heard shouting that made me rush outside to see what the commotion was about, Tan was holding Andra by the throat but instead of being scared, she was having a sinister smile that made stare in shock. Jasper was busy trying to remove his hand but it was like Tan was possessed. "Lola, help me damn it!", Jasper shouted returning me to reality. I rushed to Tan's side and took hold of his hand, he tensed immediately dropping Andra like a sack, she coughed and struggled to get air in her lungs again. Tan pulled me to his chest only this time it was different he took me to the forest where i watched him shift into his silver wolf and let out a deep roar that spread across the forest. He was pissed, whatever she said just made him loose it. "Hunter, baby, look at me please", he huffed and turned another direction, why was he giving me attitude? "Baby, am going to touch you now ok?", silence. I started petting his gigantic head pulling him towards me, resting my face on his, breathing slowly. And in no time he was breathing the same as me. Calmly.
We sat under the tree, me playing with his fur and him licking my face every now and then making me giggle, only he could make me feel this way and i was happy about it. We fell asleep under the moonlight, it was peaceful and i was enjoying how comfortable it felt sleeping on Hunter's belly.
"There you guys are, we have been looking all over for you", Jasper complained while throwing a pair of pants at Hunter, he growled but got up and shifted back. "You ok Cute face?", Tan asked me after putting the pants on as if it was the most normal thing in the world. "Am ok", i replied and pulled him down for a kiss that was rudely interrupted by Jasper. "We have a problem", "What is it?", Tan's body was as tense as a rock now which usually meant that it was going to be bad. "Andra has placed a request for a Mate tournament", "What!",Tan shouted and pulled me closer. "I don't allow it", "That's the thing man, it's not up to you", "Let's go", he said in a deeper voice, it was the Beta voice, that meant even if Tan didn't want to go he had to. It made me feel useless even though i didn't understand what was going on or what a Mate tournament meant.
