outside the abandoned garage the man and wolves chasing the real queen readied themselves as the make to burst in and Catch THE REAL QUEEN.

the pushed the door open to reveal an empty space and the chair the young boy was tied up on. the rope dangling solemnly on the chair handle.

"we lost her again," the man groaned and grab one of the wolves biting down hard on the wolves neck while the others stared at him in horror as he devoured the werewolf.

meanwhile at the backyard the woman could be seen fleeing through the back door with the boy firmly tied to the bike.

NARRATOR

Kyle opened the wardrobe door and started going through his dozen of shirts and pants, he was preparing for his friends party.

He continues ravaging through the piles of un- arranged clothes grabbing and tossing them somewhere in the room.

Riley had called in sick the other day so that explains so much as why his clothes was a mess. Riley was a girl his parents hired to take care of his room and other things.

Left for Kyle alone, he would never bend over to clear up the mess he made, he is your topical not-neat boy.

He grabbed a plain t-shirt and place it on his broad chest yanking it away as a foul smell hit his nose.

"God-damn it!" He cussed kicking the closet door shot, the door smashed against the door frame and bounce back to smack him in the face really hard.

"Ouch!!! You god-for-saken piece of wood," he smacked the wood with his fist making the closet door to unhook from the hinges.

"What are you doing?!" His elder sister asked coming inside the room.

"Can you imagine? I can't find a single neat cloth in my closet?" Kyle said to his sister, the sister smiled ruefully as she jam the door closed so she could fully give him her attention.

"Oh I can relate, but don't worry, though riley is coming back in a couple of months, I will teach you how to do your laundry. " She said with a smirk, gazing at her brother in an attempt to read his expression. " Thank your star that you have a sister who can teach you how to wash your clothes," she made herself comfortable on his bed.

" Nah nah nah! Not interested please." He shook his head and carried the damaged door out of his room, he dropped it outside and return to the closet again picking up a pair of black designer shoes, a black t-shirt and a black leather jacket, he dumped it on the bed and said. "Can you help me wash this I will owe you one thousand bucks."

" That is so little, make it ten, ten thousand," she bargained, Kyle turned to look at his sister.

" What the hell! that is like half of my monthly allowance, " he hesitated thinking for a moment. "ok I will give you five thousand bucks so are in or not?" He asked.

"I am so so so game, " Irene said picking up the clothes that was dumped on the bed by Kyle and stretching out her hands for the money.

"What? " Kyle squinted his gaze at her.

" My money, give me the money or I will dumped this trash into the dumpster, " she said with a wolfish smirk.

" Are you threatening me?" Kyle asked that is the type of stuff he likes to, threats and blackmail and politics and also women.

"It's not a threat, it's a promise little brother, " Irene said walking over to him dangerously slowly.

" Wow! Interesting! A promise? I like that, " Kyle said and quickly type away on his mobile phone. " Done! I have sent the money to your account, Go on and get the clothes ready, I will be needing it for a friend's party in a few minutes." He urges her gently pushing her out of his messy room.

"Hey! Don't push me, I am going. " She said walking out of the room and turning to the corridor that led to the laundry room.

Kyle sighed heavily as he took in the appearance of the room, the soft sofa chair at the side of the room was decorated with clothes and used sachet of snacks, the bed was also littered with clothes, the sight made him want to get out of the room and never come back again.

He grabbed a bunch of clothes that was littered on the bed and hauled it off of the bed, he grabbed another handful and threw them away, groaning and gritting his teeth in frustration.

He was interrupted by the sound of his phone ringing, grabbing the piles of dirty clothes and shoes that was littered everywhere, he finally found his phone among them.

Raven was calling him, remembering the moment that they shared the other, his face brighten and he immediately answered his phone.

"Hello, baby boo?" Raven said softly lowering her voice to a soft seductive whisper, Kyle shivered at the soft tone.

"Hello, I was wondering if you are ever going to call me. I didn't hear from you since yesterday morning and you were not picking my calls or replying to my text messages what is happening babe?" Raven and Kyle have been secretly dating for a while now, they where even planning on getting married, regardless of the fact that Raven was married with grown up kids and Kyle was just a teenager.

"Look I am very sorry, I was busy with the divorce procedures, sooner or later now I will be free and I am going to be with you alone.

"I can't wait baby, I love you so much, if you want we can run away and leave everything behind to start a new life you know? " Kyle suggested eagerly to be with her.

" No baby, you know that is very bad, the pack will hunt us down and kill us before we can even cross the boundary.

"I am sorry for making that suggestion it was very childish of me though I am not different from a child, " Kyle joked listening keenly to know if Raven shared in his joke.

"Was that your attempt on lightening the mood? " She asked, Kyle couldn't see her but from the tone of her voice he knew the joke worked out for him.

"Did it work? Did I succeed in lighting up the awkward mood?"

" Of course, you did great, you always have a unique way of making me laugh. " Raven said sounding seductive and dangerous.

" Baby boo? " Her voice have lowered to a pained whisper, Kyle was highly alarmed at the change in Ravens voice.

"Yes? Is everything ok? You sounded worried! what is wrong? " Kyle said breathlessly barely stopping himself from sprinting out of his room and outside towards Ravens husband house.

"Everything is almost perfect, don't worry too much we are fine over here, " she said almost calmly but her voice betrayed her.

Kyle sighed into the phone, releasing a couple of pained breathe, Raven had always have a way of prolonging any news she wants to share with him, this was getting frustrating, on one occasion, Kyle have urged her to share the news with him but that only annoyed her and she refused to say anything about the discussion;

"Baby tell me what is going on, the suspense is killing me! " Kyle had urged her to share.

" I didn't expect that from you, how can you urge me to tell you something when I am not ready yet? I won't tell you, my lips are sealed!"

Kyle smiled remembering the moment, he remembered how his hands we're wrapped protectively around Ravens body, while he was flourishing her with kisses.

Raven was still clattering on the other end of the phone, her voice brought him out of his reminiscence.

" -Me and you will be together by then." Kyle feared he had zoned out and miss the news.

" Come again I didn't hear you the first time," he said " I was reminiscing our moments. "

" what will you do if I woke up one day and tell you that I am pregnant?" Raven asked sounding unsure of herself.

" I don't know, but what I do know for sure is that I will be as happy as a little boy in stuffed toy shop." Kyle said dreamily.

" I am pregnant!" Raven broke the news to Kyle.

" What? " Kyle was shocked or more like he was surprised, " what did you say? I didn't get you the first time, " he said.

Raven was hurt, how can she be so dumb as to think that Kyle will want to have a baby with her, she hesitated before trying to re-say what she had said before.

"Kyle," she called softly, ready to accept any thing that fate will hand over to her. "It's okay if you don't want to have a baby with me." She said not with sincerity before hanging up.

"But..." Kyle wanted to react.

"Shhhh... It is ok, it's okay," Raven cooed even though it hurts so much more than she can bear.

Raven paced up and down her room with her pyjamas loosely hanging over her athletic shoulders. She stared out at the mirror clearly nervous.

She was still very pretty and younger than she was, so why would Kyle do this to her.

A soft knock on the door and the creaking sound of the door open made her look over her shoulder in curious stare.

Mr. Cruz peaked his head through the slightly open door to pear at his wife with a worried face.

Raven sighed turning her face away to look down at her hand nervously, she could not bring herself to look at the man she used to love and cherish.

"Are you okay?" Mr cuz asked widening the already opened door and taking a hesitant step in.

"I am good... " The tension in the room was as thick as a duvet, not to talk of the awkwardness caused by the guilt that was eating her up. "Dave... " She called softly as a little line of tears dripped down her face.

Dave noticed this and immediately rushed over to pull her into a hug which she hesitantly let him.

He was always there... For her, she noticed.
