EMILY'S POV.

　　"Well the job is done" I turned around immediately and Mirabel stood there with a frown on her face like always.

　　"That's good, would you please tell me why you always put me in different weird places when we are about to go on a mission."

　　"That's how my power works, I can't take you on the quest and I can't leave you in the house because I need a connection with you."

　　"How is putting me in weird places going to keep us connected?"

　　"You aren't in a weird place, you are in a witches' realm. The realm was my mother's and my power is stronger there. I just keep you in different places, are you ready to go home?" She put her hand out, and I grabbed it.

　　"Yeah." she snapped her fingers and took me home.

　　As soon as we got home I asked to leave and send someone to spy on the penthouse Raymond and Annabel were in. Mirabel had told me all about it, but she wasn't sure if they had seen each other or not.

　　I knew as a matter of fact that the penthouse was huge and anyone who was new to the place could easily get lost in it,

　　I removed my clothes to get a bath, I felt extremely sweaty and tired. I walked into the bathroom and turned the shower on before dropping the towel on the towel handle and stepping into the shower.

　　ANNABEL'S POV.

　　I kept looking at him in nothing but shock I could barely register what was going on and from the look on his face he seemed more confused than ever though there was a bit of confusion, but our linked hand didn't fall apart, my wolf was jumping around in my head giving me a headache and it was slowly getting me angry.

　　"She's happy, but she expresses differently." he spoke and I swore Gus' voice sounded like an angel's; like something I've never heard before.

　　"How..."

　　"You're Alpha born, and you don't know how to put your walls up, do you?" Oh! how much I want to kiss does drop dead beautiful lips like who wouldn't want to kiss them "... I would have let you do that, but I'm very sure you don't want me to be in bed with you right now" I immediately began to blush, and he chuckled.

　　"Do you mind teaching me how to put my walls up then?"

　　"Gladly." He gave me a slight kiss on the forehead and let my hand go which caused me to feel cold.

　　I walked back to my room having a tingling feeling inside me, I've never really felt like this with anyone in my life and I really had to admit it felt perfect, but then I wondered what exactly he was cooking and if he was a good cook.

　　I opened the door and immediately removed the scarf that I wrapped around my hair. It was still drenched when I finished dressing, so I simply tied it in a way no one, especially him, would figure or that my hair was still wet, what? I was curious to know who my mate was so that I wouldn't bug me.

　　I suddenly felt as though someone was staring at me and I looked around but saw no one which is quite odd, I could easily sense when someone was looking at me and something like this have never happened before which made me furrow my eyebrows in confusion, I shook my head perhaps it's just me being so happy that I'm starting to imagine stuff.

　　I picked out a blow-drier I found on the dresser and began to dry my hair, as soon as I was done I curled the edges and put it in a ponytail I did a bit of makeup, but something still bothers me though, how on earth could he possibly have everything a girl will ever need and dresses my size?

　　I understand that this is just a surprise from him but if this was a surprise like Israel said why would he have a closet filled with clothes for me? No matter how much I try to brush it off I just couldn't, though I was going to question him but not today I mean we just knew we are mates I can't start off a relationship with doubts.

　　A sudden knock on the door caught my attention and a smile appeared on my face as I perceived his amazing scent that I just can't get over and I doubt if I ever will, I stood up from the bed and opened the door.

　　The moment I opened the door I saw him standing with a tray of food in his hand, I tried to collect it from him, but he refused to give it rather he pleaded for me to pick the glasses from the siting room and I sighed not really having a choice I just walked out of the room to get the glasses.

　　RAYMOND'S POV.

　　I dropped the tray of food on the table as she walked out to get the glasses. I remembered the last time I saw her was when I saved her from that crazy incident but never in a thousand years will I think that she was really my mate, but something still bothers me though, how could we meet each other before and not recognize we are really mates, and how did she get here in the first place.

　　I'll try asking when we finish eating and I don't know for her but I am famished, but I think she always is because I heard someone's stomach growl earlier, and it wasn't the maid, she walked in with the glasses in her hand and I checked her out.

　　Even if she was now my mate and I probably will be seeing everything about her very soon it still gets good to check her out and I know I will without a doubt still check her out all the time, I mean who wouldn't? She was drop-dead gorgeous and the rate at which she was so gentle just made me love her more.

　　"You cook?" She asked as she sat down next to me.

　　"I do when I feel like buying now that you're here I can do it all the time" she let out a small laugh.

　　"You don't have to worry about that, I'll do that"

　　"How come we didn't know about us when we first met?" I asked.

　　"I thought I was the only one thinking that way or did the moon goddess forget she was pairing a couple?" I laughed.

　　"The moon goddess did it on purpose, but I'm glad she did." She blushed a little and continued to eat.

　　We both ate in silence not really knowing what to say anymore, as soon as we were done she offered to take the tray out though I told her that either I or the maid will take care of that, but she refused and I just sighed before picking up a book from the dresser.

　　I was not really much of a reader, but I do read when I don't really have anything to do. I'm really glad she felt comfortable around me, I've seen some cases where it takes a week or two before the female get use to being around her mates, and it takes him a lot of patients not to touch her but luckily for me, she wasn't like that, and I seriously don't even have that patience to wait.

　　I sat down on one side of the bed and began to read but after a few minutes of reading she wasn't back which made me a bit worried, did she perhaps get lost? I asked myself before getting up to check on her, I opened the door and walked towards the kitchen, but she wasn't there which was quite strange.

　　I asked the maid, but she said she hadn't seen her since I arrived and now I was fully worried. I walked towards the balcony but no one was there and the maid was searching everywhere, but she was nowhere to be found.

　　"Annabel!" I yelled out but no response and just when I was about to go towards the other rooms I heard a loud thud and the door to the roof was slightly opened.

　　What could she possibly be doing on the roof? It's dangerous to even be there.

　　I opened the door and climbed the stairs to meet her but as soon as I saw her a smile appeared on my face, she was in wolf form playing around with bird that were once sitting down peacefully I shook my head and walked towards her, and she turned around the moment she sensed me but didn't move she just stared.

　　She might have heard me calling, but her wolf was too big to fit in the door and she needed clothes to shift back to human form. I played my hand on her fur and she began to wiggle making her laugh, we kept playing around until she got exhausted eventually, and I went back inside to get her a shirt for her to wear.

　　I opened the door and she was just laying on her stomach, but she turned her head to look at me, I gave her the shirt and turned around for her to shift, I heard the very familiar sound of bones cracking, and then it stopped that only meant she was done, but I wouldn't turn around if she didn't ask me to.

　　I suddenly felt a pair of hands around my waist making me laugh, and she breathed out heavily.

　　"Well someone is tired, what brought you here in the first place?"

　　"Curiosity, I heard the birds singing, and I wondered why they were so many voices"

　　"And curiosity kills the cat"

　　"Well fortunately cats have nine lives"

　　"Who the hell told you that?" I laughed, and she giggled behind me.

　　"A little birdie, that reminds me why were you planning a surprise for me anyway?"

　　"A surprise?"

　　"That's the reason I'm here, right? Israel told me you planned this surprise and asked him to bring me here"

　　"Yes surprise! I'm sorry this whole mate processes has gotten the best of me, well I just wanted to see you again and perhaps spend more time together that's all"

　　"And the dozens of clothes and girl's items in my room?"

　　"You see the thing, I have a closet disaster problem that's why I never buy clothes on my own, but I wanted this to be a secret between us but that rascal of a friend cane snooping in at the last hour and turns out I needed him to get you here, so I went to the store to get a dress for you with absolutely nothing in mind, so I picked out everything my hands could literally pick." Heaven knows I'm just saying serious bull shit I can't remember asking that rascal to bring her here.

　　"And the supplies?"

　　"Israel is an idiot and I know we wouldn't take you down that good bad but rather through the forest which will probably get you all messed up"

　　"You really did have everything figured out, but you know what?"

　　"What?"

　　"I'm really glad that you did all this arrangement and to tell you the truth I was at your house when he found me"

　　"My house?"

　　"Yes I came to see you but couldn't find you and went to garden to pick out water lilies that's when Israel appeared out of nowhere saying he had a surprise"

　　"I see you like flowers then"

　　"I do"

　　We walked into her room and straight to the balcony to watch the sunset. My mind was flooded with questions. It felt as though I had missed a point in my life that I wasn't supposed to forget. I held her around her waist and she slowly turned around to look at me.

　　"You're so beautiful..." She blushed and looked away, "... Hey! Don't do that, I love seeing you like that." I held her chin and faced it towards me.

　　We were literally a few inches away from each other and the sexual tension between us was intense; I got closer, and I brushed my lips against hers before she held my head still and kissed me, but I didn't hesitate to kiss back.

　　The kiss was filled with soft and passionate, nothing like I've ever done, and boy, did it feel good. I picked her up and wrapped her legs around my waist before walking back to the room. Perhaps this might be the best night of my life
