บททั้งหมดของ The First Wolf I loved: บทที่ 11 - บทที่ 20

Berry’s was our town’s equivalent of Walmart. I always bought my stuff at Berry’s because their prices really couldn’t be beat.I spotted Nicholas Murphy as I made my way to the checkout.“Hi, Nick.”“Hello, Mona.”Nick had a small basket of mostly packaged fruits while I had a full trolley of groceries. I was at checkout before him, but I let him go first since his things were few. After making his payment, he stayed with me while my stuff were calculated.“That’s a lot of fruits, Nick,” I told him, looking at his grocery bags and smiling.“Yes, we are what we consume,” he replied. “Our bodies need the good stuff, not the junk we pile into it.”Why had I even asked? I was just trying to make small talk. Sometimes it just felt like Omegas believed they were better than you because they were so spiritually connected. They were pretty friendly though, so it was hard to hate them.Nick stayed with me until my things were checked out and he even helped me roll the trolley out to my car.“

I was lying in bed, dressed in that hot black silk nightgown. The lighting in my bedroom was dim, but the light in the bathroom was on. There was a half empty bottle of champagne on the nightstand with two champagne flutes. One huge scented candle sat in a bowl on the other nightstand.“The light in the bathroom went out and my hunk of a man came out with a towel around his waist. His hairy chest expanded and relaxed as he breathed.“Come here, babe!” I ordered and he rushed at me.My man got on top of me and as I rubbed my hand across his hairy chest, I realized this was wrong. He was kissing the side of my neck, but I pulled his head back to get a look at his face……..It was Dominic Blaise.****I jerked awake.I was still in my bedroom, but under the blanket. There were no scented candles, or hairy-chested man.I sat up and Marcus was fast asleep next to me.It had all been a dream, but this was crazy. Dom was in my dreams now? I hated how this whole thing was going.I looked down

By nighttime, my diner was full. It hadn’t started as a party, but that’s what it had turned into. Dom and the others had come in to celebrate their victory then more pack members kept coming in until the space was filled. I wasn’t happy with the hostility I’d witnessed. I sat at the counter with a drink, but I wasn’t partying with them.Allen and his two friends came up to me. They all had on aprons since they had to help service with the large crowd.“You don’t look too happy, Miss M,” said Allen.“It’s just like our alpha said, ma’am,” Patty added. “It’s them or us.” Her right wrist was bandaged.“I hope your wrist is better, sweetie,” I asked the girl, ignoring everything else they’d said.“C’mon, miss M,” Joe tried to cheer me up.“I’d just rather be alone right now, Joe,” I told him.Patty pulled herself up and sat on the counter. “We go nowhere, Miss M,” she stated. “You’re one of us and it’s time you got that. If you’re depressed then so are we. If you drink then so will we.”

The sun was shining brightly as we walked hand in hand through the park, surrounded by the hustle and bustle of the city. The sound of birds chirping and children laughing filled the air, creating a lively atmosphere that put my mind at ease. Marc said he wanted us to go on a date and I didn’t know what to expect, but a trip to the park was a wonderful idea.As we strolled along the winding path, I observed the vibrant colors of the flowers and trees all around. The park was in full bloom, and the sweet scent of blooming flowers wafted through the air, enticing me to have a good time. I felt like Snow White in the woods when she connected with the animals so they sang together and stuff.Marc stopped at a bench and we sat down, taking a moment to gaze into each other's eyes. The world around melted away, leaving only the two of us, lost in the moment. He took my hand, his fingers intertwining with mine, sending shivers down my spine."I love it here," I said, my voice barely above a w

The next morning, I arrived the diner a bit late because I had to go drop Marc off at the airport about two towns over. It was already 10am when I got in. Allen was behind the counter, customers were having their meals and the place seemed just fine. The kid smiled at me as I walked in.I walked up to the counter and sat down.“You thought the place would blow up cos you weren’t here, Miss M?” Allen asked playfully.I smiled. “Well I did kinda think so.”“Ye of little faith,” he said with a grin.Allen went to the coffee machine, fetched me some coffee, sugar, cream, the works.“But you have school and it’s already past ten,” I told him as he worked.“My job description is that I come to work in the morning, help you open up, then go to school with you in charge of the place and come back after school, but today there was no you to leave in charge so I stayed on to be in charge.”He brought over my coffee now.“You’re a darling, Allen, but I don’t want you missing school cos of the di
