Twilight POV“Twilight, do you think I'll ever find my mate?” Mitsu asked.“Yeah. It’s just a matter of time.”“But it’s taking forever. I'm starting to wonder if he even exists. What if he’s still in diapers or worse, still in the womb?”“I think you’re being a little paranoid and impatient. Anyway, you're always trying to set me up with someone, so I think it's time you use your matchmaking skills on yourself.”“I guess I'll think about it. Anyway, I should get going.”“Before you go, can you take Natsumi to her room for me? I'd prefer it if she naps in her crib instead of on the couch at least once in a while.”“Sure.”I burped her before giving her to Mitsu, along with Frank of course. Can't forget that these two are a package deal.“Bye, Mama.” She waved sleepily and her eyes were already half-closed. It was so cute that it melted my heart. It's not wrong for me to wish that she never grows up, right? I mean, she's the only pup I have so it isn't.That wholesome moment was cut sh

Later that night…Twilight POV“Lovely night we're having, isn't it?”I turned around only to find Alex sitting by the window.“And you could've used the door like a normal person,” I told him.“I'm not normal and the window is much faster.”“And pretty much the easiest way to get hurt.”“But I didn't.”“The guards could've mistaken you for someone trying to break in.”“Not if I told them I was going to do this and asked for permission.”“And they just let you?”“Does mind control count?”“Obviously not.”“In other news, you really should make sure that your window is shut properly at this time. You never know who might pop in through it.”“Thanks for the practical example, but some of us like letting in fresh air while we're working. And I was going to shut it once I was done. What are you doing here anyway?”“I said that I'd think about what you said but not that I wouldn't try my luck. That being said, would you like to join me on a walk?”“Did you seriously come through the window

Third-person POV“Here we are,” Alex said. “Let’s go.”He took her into the palace, up a few flights of stairs and past various rooms until he got to the one he wanted to get to.“You can change in here. There’s also a stocked bathroom if you need to freshen up.”“Ok.”When she went in, she was greeted with a black, strapless, high-low, organza ball gown that had silver beading on the bodice arranged in a way that resembled lacework. The belt was just a simple silk ribbon that formed a bow at the back and the front of the skirt looked like it would reach somewhere around her knees while the back looked like it might be floor length. She also saw that it came with a lace gloves shawl that matched the belt. It didn’t look like a shawl but more like a feather boa except made of silk instead of feathers.It didn’t take any effort for her to put two and two together to see where all this was going. She decided to just roll with it and was glad that she had already showered so she wouldn’t

The next day…Twilight POVI arrived at the address I was given. It wasn't as far as I thought it was, just an hour's drive from the pack in a nearby suburb. It was a pretty quiet place and from the scents I got, it was also filled with humans. A wolf and a demon living together among humans. I wonder how well that worked out., and human. Wow.I knocked on the door and waited. Honestly, I don't know how to feel. Nervous? Happy? I don't even know what I should say. I mean, supposedly, I haven't seen them in 13 years. But even so, I only found out a few hours ago that they exist. Come to think of it, why didn't my dad bring it up years ago? Actually, considering the past few years, I can see how he never really got the chance to.I was snapped out of it when someone answered the door. It was an elderly man, definitely over 6 feet tall. He didn't exactly look elderly, but I assumed that he would if he was in his late fifties or early sixties. He looked good for his age and by that, I mea

Twilight POVAs usual, she disappeared just before I woke up. Honestly, that was the most disturbing conversation I've ever had with her.The bed felt more occupied than usual. I wonder...Oh, never mind. Natsumi was in it. She must have gotten in while I was asleep again. I don't mind but a little heads-up would be nice before I get a heart attack one of these days. I got out while trying not to wake her up and disappeared into the bathroom. By the time I'd finished getting ready, she was awake.“Hi, Mama.”“Hey, baby. Why didn't you tell me that you wanted to sleep with me?”“Didn't wanna wake you.”“It's ok if you wake me up. C'mon, let's get you ready.”For obvious reasons, I always bathe her after feeding her.“What do you want to wear?” I asked her.“That and that.”She pointed to her pinafore dress and striped turtleneck. I wasn't expecting that since it isn't her usual choice but who am I to judge?“Ok, but I’m also throwing in a pair of leggings and a jacket because it’s cold
