Crossroads Café 10 : For Mate !
« I am really sorry, » Bianca said again. « It is ok… » Alpha Wayne answered. « Can't believe the Mad One got a mate that beautiful… » he took a bitter drink and left his now empty bottle on the bar. He rose and made a sign to his Beta and Gamma to follow him. Bianca kept her under lip between her teeth. She was blaming herself for what happened earlier. « What a way to start your first day at work, » she thought. Alpha Wayne stopped on his track and made a turn. He put a hand behind his neck and looked timidly at the young woman. « Listen, I know we started weirdly, but… I just wanted you to know that it is ok. I am not mad at you… so feel free to act as if nothing happened between us. »Bianca's head went up super fast, and she gave him an incredible smile. She was so grateful for him to say that to her. « Thank you, Alpha Wayne, » she answered. He gave her a nod and turned back to get out of the café. As soon as he went outside, he released the breath he had held since she smi
Crossroads Café 11 : a neutral space
Bianca went back inside the Café. She tried to convince the men outside to come with her, but they all refused. They all had to go to the same place and would travel together. As soon as she raised her head, Mat was standing in front of her, arms crossed on his chest. « Bianca, seriously… I told you not to go outside. » « I Was not outside. I was standing on the porch…. » « Bianca, you are making it difficult for me to protect you. » « Mat, you make it difficult for me to want to listen to you when you never tell me things. » A warm wind came inside the café, and Mat's frown disappeared. He released his arms and went behind his bar. He made a head sign to Bianca to encourage her to follow him. He started to make her a coffee, but she stopped him. « Are you going to poison me as soon as the truth is revealed? » He started to laugh, and she followed him, their giggles echoing in the place. « No, beautiful. I would not try to start a war by acting foolishly. Sit d
Crossroads Café 12 : First night
The night was finally here. Alpha Black was standing tall in front of the porch of the Crossroads Café. Alo was there too. He was sitting on an old rocking chair, smoking a cigarette. The older man smiled at the man waiting to meet half of his soul. He rose from his seat and showed the Alpha a necklace made with feathers and stones. « A crazy night again. Spirits are rejoicing and glowing, Alpha Black. » « What is that ? » the low voice said, similar to a growl. « This will allow your wolf to go inside the café. » Old Al answered. Alpha Black stared blankly at the jewelry. His wolf was gigantic, and he worried that his massive form would scare his mate all day long. That was not how he was supposed to present his wolf to her for the first time, but he knew he was the one who broke a rule first, and he had to accept the consequences. He could hear the whimpers of his beast in his head. « This thing will never be able
Crossroads Café 13 : behind a wolf hides a man
_Why did Mate stop moving ?_ « I don't know… » answered Alpha Black to his beast. _ Do something !_ Little whimpers started to rise in his head. « What do you want me to do, buddy? » Black tried to calm him. _Mate is leaving! Follow Mate! Stick to Mate !_ « It's ok. Look, she is not leaving us. She just went behind the bar. Chill. » They followed her and sat on their hind legs as Bianca talked aloud to herself. « _ Qu'est-ce que Je dois faire ? C'est de la folie ! » (What should I do ? This is crazy !*) she said, switching unconsciously to french. She opened the fridge and took the milk bottle. She grabbed a glass but stopped. She then proceeded to take a bowl and stopped again. « Je n’ai même pas la certitude que ce soit un loup ou que ces histoires de loups garous soient vraies ! » (I am not even sure that it is a wolf or if these werewolves' stories are true! » She turned on her heels and faced the unidentified cre
Crossroads Café 14 : Augustin
Bianca woke up. Her eyes were instantly searching for Mister Wolf. She could not remember when she fell asleep or when the black wolf left the Café. She stood up, surprised to see herself covered by a thick blanket. « Was everything only a dream? » She thought. She folded the blanket and checked the hour on the massive wooden clock on the wall. As soon as her eyes could see the numbers, the back door opened on Mat. «Morning, beautiful Bianca ! »he said with a charming smile. He maintained the door open with his back, letting his sister Aiyana enter with Rosy between her arms. « Good morning! Oh la la, thank you, Aiyana ! I did not even realize I fell asleep on the couch yesterday night! » Bianca said while grabbing Rosy and showering her with kisses. « No worries, Bianca. I… tried to bring her back yesterday, but Crossroads Café forbade me to enter… » Aiyana said with caution. Bianca raised her head and put a hand on Rosy's back. « Magic? » She asked. « Mag
Crossroads Café 15 : get your things
"A what?" asked Bianca, half choking up. She had taken a sip of coffee just as Mat had revealed the identity of his longtime friend. " Un vampire, ma délicieuse Bianca. (*A vampire, my delicious Bianca" Augustin replied seductively. Then he patted her back to help her regain normal breathing and placed a kiss on her cheek when she finally calmed down. Bianca had a start but remained close to him. "So he doesn't scare you more than that?" Aiyana asked, incomprehension visible on her face. "Euh non" Bianca replied. She scratched her cheek. She had the strange impression of having sinned by letting him kiss her, and looked at this man she had known for so many years. "Augustin is not the kind of person who enjoys terrorizing others or sucking their blood..." The vampire placed a hand over his eyes and laughed softly. He gracefully took a seat on one of the bar chairs between Bianca and Aiyana and tapped the counter. "A drink, my good man!" he said to Ma
Crossroads Café 16 : Beta Duncan
Bianca crossed her arms over her chest and kept silent for a few moments, staring at Augustin. "Quoi? (*What?), "asked the vampire at a loss. "Augustin, I think you forget why Emmanuelle, Rosy, and I came to America. "she replied calmly. "I'm grateful for the help you're offering, but I'm not moving from here until I know where Emmanuelle is." The vampire walked gracefully toward Bianca. He ran a hand through his hair and leaned forward to look at her. "I at least want you and Rosy to stay close to me while we wait." Mat cleared his throat loudly, causing the vampire to pivot on his heels again. "What is it, tavern keeper?" Mat scratched the back of his head, not sure where to look. Augustin's eyes had again gone entirely black, angry at being interrupted. "You're going to have a problem with that, Elder." Augustine straightened up, and his eyes returned to their enchanting appearance. "A problem?" "Bianca needs to stay here," explained Mat. "Here?
Crossroads Café 17 : baby-sitter
Bianca turned her head towards her friend and turned her palms up to silently ask him what was wrong. "Luna? Did I hear you right?" the vampire chuckled through his teeth. He was shaking now, trying to regain his composure, almost struggling to keep the blackness from taking over his eyes as Bianca watched him. Beta Duncan ignored him completely, then tilted his head slightly toward Bianca before pivoting on his heels and heading for the exit. "Wait, one second," the young woman asked calmly. The Beta stopped immediately under the order that had just been given to him. He had never ceased to be amazed at how quickly his wolf had submitted and wanted to please his Luna. _That's our Luna_ declared the animal in the Beta's head with wonder. "Yes." I am so happy. Alpha will finally find peace. "I don't care if he finds peace. All I want is never to go through the river episode again. » _Brrrrr, you're right. But let's learn from it and take baths re
