Writer's POV

Next morning...! Alpha's mansion...!

"You came back so late last night!" The queen states.

The King nods and chew on his bread. The queen drops a cup of tea in front of her and sits next to him.

"I really pity that child, she didn't ask for all this!" The queen sighs sadly.

"They are both kids, how can they pull through?"

There's silence as they both have nothing to say.. the queen stabs on her salad absentmindedly.

"Does anyone else knows about what the seer said?" She asked.

"No, just her brothers and I have instructed them not to bring it up before her!"

The queen nods.

"Let's help them relax and get their minds off the seer's prophecy"

The king nods and let's her continue.

"We just let Stacey go with Ray to Alpha Dimitri's birthday party, what do you think?"

He simply nods and smiles at his queen.

"Ok!"

"Why do you always agree to my every word without second thoughts?"

"Because you're my mate, my love!" He said and leans his forehead on hers.

They both stare in each other's eyes lovingly, they're both old but you can clearly see love in their eyes.

Their lips touch but they quickly pull apart when they heard Anna clearing her throat.

"Mom! Dad! Do you realize you're both at your old age?" She complains and pulls out a chair.

She sits down and reaches for some waffles...she notices her mother blushing hard.

"We're not old, we're both in our prime!" Her mother said.

Anna scoffs and takes a bite on her waffle.

"At least be shy that you're caught flirting with each other by your grown up daughter!"

"Well, if you're with your mate you wouldn't catch us flirting!" Her dad said.

She stops eating and frown.

"Wait, are you trying to chase me out already?"

The king and queen stares at each other and nods.

"It's about time you move in with your mate permanently!" Her mother said.

Anna gets up and carries her mom's cup of tea and finishes it in one gulp... She does same to her dad's.

They just stare at her in shock, she flips her hair and head to the door.

"Anna, what are we suppose to eat now?" Her dad ask.

"You're both gonna starve this morning!" She scoffs and slams the door loudly.

The king and queen stares at the door and laughs at her silliness.

"This child!"

Stacey's POV

Ray's mansion...! 6:40am...!

I feel arms wrap around my waist, head rests on my shoulder and I hear silent sniffing around my neck.

I smile and continue with what I'm doing.

"Smells nice.. so nice, baby!" Ray said.

"Good morning, my Wolfie!" I greets him.

"Good morning, baby, what are you cooking?" He asked.

I put aside the carrots I wash and starts dicing some potatoes...I woke up early to give him a surprise breakfast in bed.

But this big headed wolfie just ruin my surprise breakfast in bed!

"I just wanna prepare some healthy dish!" I answer his question.

He nods and kisses my mark, sending sparks all through my body.

"Baby, are you still feeling upset?"

"Well, someone told me to forget about everything else and do what I normally do..." I pause and tries to reach for a pot at the top cabinet.

I went on tiptoes but still couldn't reach it, Ray reaches for it and hands it to me.

"... that's why, I'm not gonna get myself upset unnecessarily!" I said.

I rinse the pot and pour the diced potatoes on it, I add some water... I turn on the gas and places it on it.

"That's my Luna queen!" he complimented.

Then there's a brief silence before he speaks.

"Right, you'll start training soon!"

"Training?" I frown.

He nods.

"I just want you to learn some basic fighting skills!"

"Do I have to?" I asked.

I'm a lazybone, I don't wanna stress myself after all I don't have a wolf to train.

"Yes, to protect yourself better!"

"But I have you to protect me"

He laughs.

"Yeah, that's true. But I'm might not be with you all the time, what if you encounter some rogues and I'm not there?"

Hmm.. he's right.

"Oh!"

"Right, so you'll come by the training ground later after school, I'll arrange someone to train you!"

I simply nod.

"I'll rush off to the packhouse after breakfast, I'm sorry, I won't be driving you to school..."

He reaches for his pocket and hands me a bunch of car keys.

"....you can drive any of my car to school" he said.

"Ok" I replies and drops the key on the counter next to my phone.

Just then my phone rings on the counter, I reach for it and see Josh's name flashing on the screen.

I quickly answer it.

"Hey, Josh, good morning!" I greet him cheerfully.

"Good morning, honey!" I hear Dylan's voice instead.

I frown, why is Dylan using Josh's phone? Or are they together?

"Princess, are you ok?" Josh's voice came.

I nod but quickly remember they can't see me.

"I'm fine!" I replied.

Ray takes the knife from me and starts slicing some tomatoes.

"Are you really ok, honey?" Dylan asked seriously.

I smile.

All my life, since I knew Dylan.. grew up with him, I've never seen him being serious.

I guess I really made them worried about me.
