*•ARA POV•*
We went down to meet our mates. Cindy and I didn't want to take money from our mates but Jessie threatened to kick our butts if we didn't. Besides, it's not like have money of our own anyway. I shyly scooted to Caine and said,
"Credit card or cash please." I was embarrassed to ask someone —apart from Cindy— for money. It makes me uncomfortable.
["Sugar! This ain't just somebody. This is our mate so we have the right to spend his hard earned money as we please. Sometimes I wish I were the human."
"You sound like a gold digger right now." I scold her, scowling.
"Nuh uh honey! I'm telling you something important."
"Oh shut up! Humph!"]
I snapped back to reality to see Caine looking at me with his head cocked to the side. I shot him a grin and stretched out my hand. He dipped his hand in his pocket and brought out his credit card.
"Here you go. Don't get me bankrupt yet, alright." He teased, smiling slightly.
"Don't worry. If the money on here gets finished, I'll call you to send me cash."
"You wouldn't!"
"I would!" The look of horror on his face made me laugh out loud. I saw everyone was ready to leave so I stood on my tippy toes and gave him a peck.
"By the way, you look very good." He whispered in my ear which sent a warm feeling in my body.
"Thank you. Bye." I waved and he waved back.
"Let's go shopping!" Penny declared when we all sat in the car.
"Woo hoo!" Cindy and I exclaimed which made Jessie and Penny laugh. Today, we wouldn't be going to the pack mall, according to what Jessie said. We'd be going to the nearest human malls cause there's a guarantee of getting a wide range of clothes there. There was a lot of chatter in the car because we took a while to get to the human civilization. We like to distance ourselves from the humans cause those creatures are curious that cats. They always go where they aren't wanted or needed.
Back in Moonlight Pack, I've been to the town like five times. Majority of the time was when I was younger. Cindy and I had to assist my mom with the pack hose groceries. All of a sudden, she stopped us from going with her one day. Ever since then, I haven't left my pack to go to the human town.
_____________________________________________________________________
An hour later, we arrived at the mall. We could have run and arrived in twenty minutes but where would we have put our shopping bags? We also had to take a longer way cause if we'd come through the forest, people would have been suspicious of where we came from.
"Whoa! Theo place has changed so much." I exclaimed, looking out the window at all the people walking around.
"I can't remember the last time we went out of Moonlight. It's been ages." Cindy added. Penny found a parking space and parked. We all jumped down and walked towards the mall, Penny and Jessie leading the way. After walking through a crowd of people, we reached our destination shop. The shop really looked intimidating, and the women inside it didn't help my nerves either. I pulled Jessie to my side.
"Are you guys sure about this? There's so many clothes and people in there. Maybe we should come back when people reduce?"
"Silly you! There's nothing wrong with shopping now. In fact, it's better we shop now unless all the good clothes will be bought. Let's go!" She pulled me into the shop and towards the tiny attendant.
"Hello there miss! We're looking for dresses for my friends here." She pushed Cindy and I to the front, allowing the tiny attendant to scrutinize us. It was kind of unnerving for someone so small to scrutinize me up close.
"Right this way!" I looked closely and her name tag said 'Brianna'. Brianna led us to a section that had all sorts of clothes there. People were staring right at us. I guess it's because we are taller than a regular human and prettier too.
"Here! Take this. This too. Oh this is pretty, try this." Brianna dumped loads and loads of clothes in our hands, pushing us to the dressing room.
"Call me when you're done. I'll be at my desk." Then she walked away. Umm...okay?
I tried out many clothes, some picked by Cindy, Penny, Jessie, and even Brianna. I also helped pick out some clothes for Cindy and by the time we were done, we had tons and tons of shopping bags. I checked the time, and it was almost three o'clock. I couldn't wait to get home to Caine so I pressured the others.
"Guyssssss! May we go now? I need to get home before five o clock and now it's almost three."
"One minute more. These shoes are just too amazing to not get." Jessie pleaded, pulling us to a shoes shop. Jessie stayed in the shop for twenty minutes and I was getting irritated. I pulled her but she just shrugged me off which royally pissed me off.
"Gamma Female Jessica! Let's go now!" I called with such authority that made she and Penny bow their head. I widened my eyes at the authority that came from my voice. Obviously, Cindy is Luna so my Beta Female authority couldn't work on her.
"Omg I'm so sorry! I didn't mean it! I don't know where it came from! It just came out! I'm so sorry! I'm sorry!" I wanted to cry. I did meant to use my Beta authority—that I didn't know I had—on my friends, swears. Just like the guys, even the girls can give authority or commands. The Luna can command the Beta Female, Gamma Female, Head Fighter Female, and pack members. The Beta Female can command the Gamma Female, Head Warrior Female, and pack members. And you understand the rest.
"Ara that was intense!" Penny called out when I commanded them to raise their heads.
"I didn't mean to." I was on the verge of tears. Jessie stood up and hugged me.
"Don't cry. It was my fault. I shouldn't have provoked you to use your Beta Female authority at me or anyone. Let's go home." She smiled at me. I smiled sheepishly back and sniffled. On the way to the car, someone bumped into Cindy, pushing her backwards.
"Aaah!" Cindy yelled, staggering back into me.
"Can't you watch we're you're going Karen?" The human girl spat. Penny, Jessie, and I stood protectively in front of our Luna.
"Walk away now." The pink haired bimbo was looking at me with disbelief, like she couldn't believe that I was talking to her.
"Are you talking to me you fat pig?" Oh no she didn't! Instead of talking trash back at her, I laughed in her face. I wiped a fake tear from my face and calmed down.
"Ahhhh Classic! If only you know who you're talking to. Let's go guys." I made to move but she held my hand.
"Who do you think you are? How dare you laugh at me and try to walk away?" I smiled at her stupidity.
"Don't try me." Intentionally bringing my furious wolf at bay, I made my eye color switch from brown to gold quickly. When her eyes widened in fear, I winked and turned.
"Shall we?" I asked my companions who nodded at me.
"Your-your eyes! They-they changed color! How did you do that? What are you?!" The poor girl stuttered out but we didn't reply her. We just kept walking.
The darn girl made me spend so much time with her that it's now three thirty. That fool!
["I really enjoyed showing myself to her. She was so scared! Ha!"
"I had fun too. I've received insults about my body for so long that her puny insults didn't move me. And besides, her opinion doesn't matter to me."
"Exactly!"]
_____________________________________________________________________
We finally reached home at four freaking thirty. Thirty more minutes until my mate goes all weird on me, and we haven't even discussed anything. Flipping amazing! And by the time that I'll grab my things and send it back home, more time would have gone. Just great!
Caine and the guys were waiting at Rodrick's place, ready to pick us up. When I got down, I attempted to run my Caine and grab my things quickly when he held my hand.
"We'll talk later. Let me just get my things."
"No."
"Look it's almost five and we haven't had that important discussion. I need to go."
"I've already moved your things home so just get your bag and then we'll go home."
"Phew! Let's go then." Suddenly remembering my bags and friends, I entangled myself from his grip and mate my way to the girls.
"Thanks for today you guys. It was fun, especially the last event." The girls grinned at me and I grinned back, knowing the event I was referring to. I'm sorry but that girl had it coming. Hasn't she ever heard of walk away so you don't pick fights with strangers, especially if that stranger might or might not be a werewolf. Ah well!
After hugging them all and grabbing my bags, I joined Caine in his car and we drove away. I didn't want us to discuss such a serious topic in the car so rather I filled him on about my shopping spree, minus the ride bimbo part.
Come on, less than thirty minutes for him to give me the juicy deets.
