Chapter 14

MILA

As I reach the bottom of the stairs, Emily was waiting there with a mug of coffee, smiling at me.

“How do you feel?” she asks.

“I feel ok, Sapphire and I talked too” I say as she goes stiff, her face turns worried but I shake my head “Everything’s alright, we talked about stuff, I will talk to you later about it.”

Emily looks at me for a moment but smiles “OK, Mila, I am with you every step of the way, I won’t let anyone hurt you, not even my father” she says and turns to go to the door to the café where Gloria was standing.

“You know you also got me too, we are one with each other. No one can separate us that includes the mate and even George” says Sapphire, goddess I wish I could hug her, I can feel the love for me through the bond we share.

“I wish you could too Mila, I will mask our scent now and I will be watching everything that is going on around.” She says with a hint of a giggle.

I walk towards the cafe door to find Emily and Gloria standing there on either side watching me, smiling. “Don’t drink that hideous potion, we will figure it out” says Gloria while giving me a slight hug. “My son is being a very overprotective father to you girls, he wants best for you both and to be safe. But he is going about it the wrong way. Now, we best get out there some new wolves will be coming in and before you say how do I know, Sapphire is on edge and I can sense them approaching” she says.

Gloria is never wrong about Sapphire; I can feel her pace in my head which is giving me a splitting headache.

“Sapphire what’s wrong, you okay?” I ask, getting a little concerned.

“Mate coming and he isn’t alone, I am masking us now” she says.

I take a deep breath, Emily grabs my hand and squeezes it tightly “You be fine Mila, we all got you, ok” she says as she heads through the door into the cafe.

I take a deep breath and walk in. I look around and notice some regulars. I walk behind the counter to serve some of them when the door opens and his scent hits me hard.

Mint and forest.

I don’t look up.

I keep doing what I am doing, making coffee for Mr Thomas, a elderly bear shifter who needs his coffee like a pill. I turn around and hand it to him; I can sense the fear rolling off him as he knows the wolves have walked in. He looks at me, hands me the right amount of money for his coffee and leaves.

I take a deep breath in and out; I look up to who’s standing in front of me.

He looks straight at me, he is not moving and his expression is unreadable but his deep blue eyes piecing mine.

“What can I get you all?” I ask trying to sound confident in what I was saying, trying not to sound scared or frustrated.

He stands there and stares but I realized that he wasn’t the only one standing there. There are five other wolves with him, three men and two women.

A tall dark handsome looking guy, he has brown hair and brown eyes smiles back at me “Hi, we are members of the pack and we would like to order here. Do you do any food?”

“Here are the menus and someone will come along to take your order” I say with a smile.

“Thank you, my name is Eric, this is Dane, Alyssa, Josie and Nathaniel” he says

“That’s nice, take a seat over there and someone will come to serve you” I say, sounding really put off all of a sudden. I know it's Sapphire, as I can feel her presence and she is pissed at them.

“Mate and girl are out together, I can smell her all over him” she says growling. I know she is pissed, so am I.

“Don’t worry breath. We can’t show ourselves” I say.

“That’s rude, he introduced us. Not very good customer service skills you have” says the red headed girl who I think he named Alyssa “What’s your name?”

I am so glad; Gloria never wanted us to have name badges but around the town knew us, so there was no need.

I look up at her and smirk “I am busy; I have people to serve who are standing right behind you. Also I don’t have to give my name out as I don’t like people.”

She snarls at me but a deep growl comes from somewhere and I realize it is our mate.

I look back at him and stare at him “Do we have a problem here?” I ask.

He seemed startled by what I said; he took a step forward to sniffs the air by my head “What are you? Human?” He says in the sexiest voice I ever heard.

“What is it to you?” I snapped, “I don’t have to answer your questions.”

“He is the future Alpha of The Moon Valley Pack, show him some respect!” Snarls Alyssa again.

I laugh slightly, letting sapphire push forward a little but not enough for anyone to see or sense that she is there “He is not my alpha; I am human if you must know. Now can you please either find a table or leave?” I say, feeling frustrated.

They all stare back at me, two of the men are smirking at me while the two girls snarl but my mate is looking at me shocked but recovers when he realizes that I am staring back at him.

“We will take a seat over there, we would like some food and coffee” says Eric again, smirking at me while taking some menus.

“Take a seat then” I say.

They all walk over to the table which is right in the corner which gives them a great view of the bay window of the town but also a view of me at the counter. Once they all sat down, they all grabbed the menus and looked through, all except my mate. He just stared at me.

I wonder if he knows.

“He doesn’t” says Sapphire, watching through my eyes.

I turn back around to serve the next customer.
