“I promise I will not mention your name.” I say and she brightens up a little and hugs me. She lets go quickly and looks around.
“Where is Chris?” She panicked.
“I left him outside with your Alpha.” I say and her eyes go wide.
“The Alpha? The Alpha is outside with Chris? Why?” She asks, confused.
“He wanted to meet the kids I have been so keen on.” I answered her. I am not sure why he really wanted to come. She quickly grabs her bag and runs towards the door. She turns back to look at me.
“We need to go save the Alpha!” She says. I chuckle at her and start to walk. with her trying to drag me to the playground. When we reach outside we see Christopher on the swing with Alarick pushing him.
“Higher Alpha, higher!” Christopher is yelling and giggling. I can see Alarick is smiling. Breana lets go of my hand and runs over to them.
“Chris! You’re going to get hurt!” She yells at him. She surprised Alrick, making him look down on her and she shrinks away. I walk up to them and Christopher jumps off the swing mid air.
“Weeeee!” He yells as he lands on the ground laughing. Breana runs to him and looks over to see if he is alright. When she is satisfied she grabs his hand and drags him over to me and Alarick.
“Alight loves, we better get going or your aunt and uncle will be worried.” I say. Breana comes up and grabs my hand, still holding her brothers. Christopher takes Alarick’s hand and we start to walk to the diner. Christopher is talking the whole time and I am chuckling at the boy’s stories.
We walk into Ray’s Diner, at the end of the main strip, and everyone goes silent. There are 10 people in here leaving about half of the diner open. It isn’t busy, but I only see Lyn behind the counter so it is busy for her.
“Luna! Thank you so much for picking the children up.” Lyn says dusting her hands off on her apron. She sees Alarick behind me and she bows. “Alpha.” She says almost questioningly.
I walk up to the counter and see that this place looks like a bakery too.
“No need to thank me.” I say as I look into the dessert case there are about 10 different desserts. I scan it seeing there are doughnuts, cream filled croissants, cheesecakes, and cakes. My eyes stop scanning when I notice a pineapple cake in the glass and Fen starts drooling. “Can we get one of every dessert? They all look so good.” She says almost eyef*cking the desserts. I smile.
“Did you make these?” I ask Lyn pointing to the desserts.
“Yes Luna. Baking is my passion while cooking is my mate’s.” She says with a small smile. I didn’t notice that Alarick came beside me and was looking at them too. I can feel Lyn’s nerves kick in while he looks at the desserts. He hasn’t said anything, just standing there intimidating everyone.
“Could I get one of each to go?” I ask her. She shoots her head up shocked.
“One of each of the desserts?” She asks. I smile at her and nod my head.
“They all look so good and I can’t decide what one to get, so I would like one of each.” I say, confirming with her. Fen yips in my head. She is excited. Lyn quickly packages the desserts and when I go to pull out my wallet I realize that Alarick already has cash out and is handing it to Lyn. I scrunch up my face. These aren’t for him, so why is he paying? “He better not think he is getting any of these! They’re mine!” Fen snaps.
“Keep the change.” He says to her then takes the bags with the desserts. Lyn looks up at him in shock. He handed her a hundred dollar bill, the cost was only 30 dollars.
“Lyn. I was wondering, since I don’t get out of the castle much, do you know of a place that is near the school for the daycare. I am planning on looking at them on the way back.” I say which turns her attention back to me.
“Of course. There are actually two within walking distance from the school. Both are right when you walk into the main strip.” She says.
“Thank you. I will look into those. See you tomorrow.” I smile and grab the last bag with the desserts in it, then walk out.
After about 5 minutes of walking I finally broke the silence. Fen is bugging me to make sure he doesn’t plan on taking any of those desserts.
“I hope you don’t think since you paid for these that you are getting any.” I say. It came out a bit b*tchier than I was hoping. He looked at me and faked being hurt.
“You mean YOU are going to eat ALL of these? I thought you got them to be nice.” He says.
“Hell no I didn’t get them just to be nice. If I didn’t want them I wouldn’t have gotten them. You could have ordered some too.” I say looking at him and he chuckles. “He needs to stop laughing and food is serious. Especially THIS food!” Fen yells at me. She makes me laugh too. She is very serious when it comes to sweets.
“You’re seriously not going to share any of them? After all, I am carrying the majority of them.” He says holding up the two bags as if I didn’t see them before.
“Give them here then.” I say reaching for the bag closest to me he pulls away before making me miss.
“I am carrying them. You don’t have to worry about sharing anything other than the pineapple cake.” He says. I’m willing to negotiate, but that pineapple cake is mine. It’s the only thing I wanted, Fen wanted everything else.
“Hell no. That one is mine.” I say sternly.
“Apparently you think they are all yours.” He says, raising his eyebrow.
