I saw him ascend the stairs while I brought myself to the kitchen. I looked inside the fridge. I then discovered that he had only salads and fruits. Such a big build for someone who only consumes salad. I looked inside the freezer and saw some steak and bacon. Although steak is better it will take time to taw so I picked the ham and bacon instead. All this running and dodging made me feel hungry.
I was craving carbs; I deserved loads of them since I exerted physical effort today.
I searched the cupboards and found a pack of pasta, cheese, all-purpose cream and canned mushroom and herbs.
"This will do". I told myself.
I grabbed a couple of onions and sliced them forming rings then prepared the ham and bacon. I planned to cook carbonara and bacon-onion rings. After slicing everything I needed, I placed a pot of water on top of the range so that I could cook the pasta. I just stared upstairs where my ignorant mate was.
How much time does he need to shower? I wondered. He was so reluctant to believe me. He does not even know his Katana roots. I was in awe, Why Alana kept it from him. Now I am pondering whether he tried communicating with his pack. But I tried to convince myself that he is Katana wolf, we tend to be more loyal than the other kind of wolves. He might be arguing with his wolf right now. Katana wolves tend to be protective with mates. I had endless arguments with my own wolf. My wolf is as stubborn as I am. I would not be surprised if his wolf were as stubborn as well.
Since the water is not yet boiling. I looked around the house for another bathroom. I found a guest room (I thought) which has a bathroom. I grabbed my bag, went to the room then took a quick shower and hurriedly changed.
I tied my hair to a messy bun then went back to the kitchen to finish cooking. I walked back to the kitchen right on time. I continued cooking the Carbonara and bacon-onion rings. Placed my food into the counter then sat on the stool next to it. I knew I could cook decent food. While eating I remembered my mom talking about her best friend:
-Flashback-
"Mom, how come I don't see Aunt Alana that much? I thought she was your best friend."
"I think her mate is having a hard time adjusting. Alpha Apollo has been on the edge ever since the day Alana and him completed the mating process." my mom, Luna Tala answered.
"He thought our pack had hindered him from sharing Alana's ability. Plus, Alana is busy aiding him to run a pack. I heard witches have been constantly attacking them. Leaving their territory and visiting here can put her pack at risk and his son as well" she added. I stared at my mother's face.
"You see, Alana and I have the same ability. We can wield protective barriers to shield our warriors while attacking." She explained.
"I really hope I can meet her soon; did you send her an invitation for our celebration?" I asked. We are having a party for my 18th birthday, 3 days from now.
A day celebrated by most wolves since it would be our first shift. For a Katana wolf this means gaining your wolf and your ability. I felt excited just as much as how my parents and my pack were. I would finally meet my wolf and would discover the ability which I could use to protect my pack.
"Yes, I haven't heard from them yet, but I think this time she can come. I assume witches gave up attacking them. They have been quiet these past few months" Mom answered. "You know your Aunt Alana adored you dearly though you haven't met her yet. She kept calling and asking for copies of your photos" she added.
-End flashback-
My reminiscence was interrupted by my mate's voice. I watched him walk downstairs while talking over the phone.
"Why are you calling me, I told you to mind link me when something comes up." I heard him say.
"Bro, I did.... but you are not answering back!" the person on the line responded. Wolves have a heightened sense of hearing. He tilted his head I could see him thinking.
I grabbed my empty plate, put it in the sink and pointed to him his plate of carbonara and rings. Turned my heel towards the sink and washed the dishes.
"Devon, our warriors discovered the black BMW snatch by the Katana wolf near our pack boarder. Alpha Apollo is furious; he thinks that the she wolf is making a counterattack." I glanced at my mate then smirked at him. I felt amused with how nervous his pack had become.
"What? he said then looked straight at me; I shrugged my shoulders in return gaining me a roll of eyes from him.
"There were footprints on the ground going towards the borders. We had been searching for her scent, but we could not find it. Are you coming?" said the person.
"No, tell father I'm searching for a coven who can locate her mate." I smirked at him. "I don't think Tessa is as reliable as father thinks. She was useless earlier. All she did was whine and put all the blame on me." He answered.
"Do you need back up? You don't have to do this alone." The person on the line asked. He walked towards the counter and was about to sit on the chair.
'Luca, no need. This coven poses no threat. Besides, you are much needed there. Just keep me updated." Devon answered back and then glanced at me.
"Ok, I will inform Alpha about what you're up to." Luca answered briefly.
He grabbed his fork then silently ate the Carbonara and bacon rings. He ate the whole thing without making a sound. I sat down in front of him enjoying the silence.
