Prologue 3

This time, Dad dragged Deji and I on a business trip here. It is my first time being out of my country you know, and the plane ride was extremely tiring, not to mention I thought we would stay back at the villa and recuperate but we immediately had to change as Dad insisted on dragging Deji and I to the meeting as well."

" A six hour business meeting! Can you believe it?! We got there and they did not even make special provisions for chairs for us. I had to sit in the usual chair at a conference table. It honestly was my first time feeling short in my whole life! I'd have you know, it was not a very nice feeling. I could not even see above the table...talk more of what was on the projector!" The little girl exclaimed in annoyance, sketching furiously on her sketchbook, Kalen exchanged an amused look with his friends.

"After the hours of torture in the guise of a business meeting, we got home and father asked us to brief him on what happened at the meeting! Now I know Deji and I are outstanding...a little too outstanding perhaps but Dad is too much sometimes." 

"If I didn't love him so much I'd tell on him to mom that he kept on eating junk the whole way here even when she told him to stay away from unhealthy food! But sadly I love him too much...I'm really too pitiful right?"

"Anyways thankfully I memorized a lot of the things they said at the meeting and narrated it to father explaining about the chair situation to avoid being asked about the video presentation, he seemed satisfied with our answers and let us off, telling us to get ready for another meeting tomorrow! He's really too impossible, I did not tag along all the way to Canada to suffer this injustice!"

"I came to have fun!...and Dad promised we'd be left to our own devices here, the realization that I was conned into a business lecture instead, my fragile heart just could not take it so I stormed out of the house to find something to sketch so I could let out a bit of anger...that was about two hours ago." 

"I decided the forest would be perfect and I just needed to find something inspiring and sketch it, I've been moving through this damn forest for hours and could not find anything inspiring at all...and I just had to go and meet you crazy bunch, I'm so frustrated right now that I'm sketching such an ordinary and uninteresting tree! I'm really too pitiful!" The little girl concluded with a huff.

Kalen and his pack warriors all remained in stunned silence for a long while before they broke into laughter... what an amusing kid!

The little girl glared at Kalen and his pack warriors for a bit but she seemed to decide against saying anything, she however gave Kalen a longer glare when the flashlight shook a bit before returning her attention to her furious sketching which she soon concluded.

The little girl gazed at the beautifully drawn tree with a scornful expression before shutting her book with an annoyed huff.

"I should get going now, it's way past my bedtime, Dad must be worried." The little girl said, stretching her limbs and yawning tiredly, Kalen smiled at her cuteness.

"I will have someone escort you back." Kalen said softly, handing her the flashlight, the little girl scoffed, turning away.

"I can take care of myself Mister." The little girl replied and turned back to where she had originally been coming from. 

Kalen's heart shriveled in fear that he would never get to see her again if he did not get some reliable information now.

"Wait!... where do you live?" Kalen asked the little girl in a panicked tone, the little girl paused turning to give Kalen an amused look.

"The mansion just outside the forest, come look for me sometime...do leave the craziness behind when you're coming to visit though or Dad might throw you out...he's not as open minded as I am." The little girl advised, Kalen chuckled lightly at her words, nodding in agreement.

"When do you leave Canada?" Kalen asked her and she shrugged.

"Dad's business should last about three weeks and after that we'll stay a week extra to chill and then leave...so a month." The little girl replied, Kalen nodded in approval... he had some time at least, but still, Kalen felt he had to know my beautiful mate's name at least.

"What is your name, little flame?" Kalen asked crouching down before the stubborn four year old, his heart fluttered in excitement and completeness as hy gazed upon his other half...his mate.

"Miwa....Iretomiwa." The little girl answered with a dazzling smile.

"Miwa... Iretomiwa...a beautiful name for a beautiful girl...what does it mean?" Kalen asked tenderly and the little girl grinned.

"..that you're in luck because it means blessing has come to you." The little girl replied in a childish teasing voice, Kalen threw his head back letting out a loud laughter, the joy in his heart was indescribable.

"Blessing has come to me?....Miwa, Iretomiwa....my blessing....." Kalen whispered in a loving tone, the little girl smiled again before turning around and heading home, Kalen watched her with a complicated gaze, one thought in mind.

'till we meet again my little flame."
