The Couple

Celia

Right now, I am standing in front of Dante's house. I am back here after almost a week from my secret visit to Mary. It was the most difficult task to make my parents stay here. It was like after that we haven’t had dinner at our place for once. I have been continuously invited to everyone’s place for dinner one or the other.

First, it was Robert and Selena then Karen’s house and then Greg’s parents. Although Greg’s parents had no clue why they invited us but obviously because Greg made them invite me.

Everyone is trying their best to buy me some more time till we can find a permanent reason to stay here while I don’t even know if I really want to stay here or not. This week, I doubted my presence here many times.

I just decided to go with Mary's plan because of what I heard at the sheriff’s station last week. I heard Chris growling and shouting. He controlled himself that moment from destroying the sheriff’s office but I could feel his anger and distress in my veins, in my body.

‘You can’t leave this town. You don’t dare or Harris just threatened I will.’

It is the only threat I heard when he left . After that, I didn’t hear anything from him. No text message, no call, no mind linking. After that threat, he fell silent like he was never here. I did wake up in the middle of the night feeling someone in my room watching me but each time I didn’t find anyone in my room or balcony. I was always alone standing and shivering in my room.

Would you believe me if I say I felt his wolf calling me when he made absolutely no contact with me?

It seems tomorrow is my last day in this town after I will meet the new CEO of Fieldson’s Constructions and will leave the town if Chris didn’t do anything to make me stay here.

I am here dressed all my best to seduce him, lure him when none of us is sure if he will be here tonight or not. Mary told me he is rarely home after my parents took me. He will be anywhere but here. We have a plan to make my parents have an overnight here, so I can sneak out and head to the cabin in the woods where he might be sleeping nowadays.

Mary says she has everything under her control. This day was chosen by her purposefully, although was reluctant to execute the plan today but didn’t interrupt since she doesn’t want any more mess caused by her.

It was already difficult to make my parents stay here till today and inviting us to every house in this town might not work anymore.

I looked up at the sky and prayed to their Moon Goddess to help me. Jeanne told me how they pray to the Moon Goddess as they look up to her as their mother Moon and ask for her blessings. Today is the full moon and I hope she will help me today.

Although I still don’t know what Bryan meant by she chose me?

We went inside and everyone greeted each other. I went forward to hug Jeanne and Mary as well. I tried to ask Mary if Chris is here or will be any time tonight but she shook her with disappointment. ‘Oh God, help me. It is either tonight or never.’

All the time during dinner, I had my eyes stuck at the door in hope of Chris. At dinner, I could feel grandma’s annoyance towards me and my parents. She didn’t like that Mary invited us today but she just pretended to enjoy my parents' company. I can’t get her point of being so disappointed in me. If she is upset that her grandson killed someone because of me then I am sorry but did he or we have another choice. Tell me if we had.

After dinner, grandpa, Ethan and dad went to have a few drinks while mom went to have some rest. We are staying tonight here because Mary, Jeanne and I wanted to have a night stay together before I leave tomorrow. My parents agreed with the condition that they both will be staying here for the night as well.

We all three left for Jeanne’s room with some snacks. I will spend some time here with both of them and then will leave with Bryan for the cabin. Even if Chris doesn’t want me he has to say it on my face.

Mom checked on us two times with the reason if we wanted water or something else before finally going to bed. Dad will come too soon but Ethan told me he will make sure he gets dad super drunk so that he can’t differentiate between me and grandma.

As the clock struck 10, Mary and Jeanne came to get me down safely from the balcony. We already got the blankets ready so I can climb down. Bryan catched me as I slipped and lost my grip from the blanket. I said my byes to Jeanne and Mary once I was down safely.

On the way into the woods, I was nervous with the reaction I might get. I tried every kind of conversation with him these past days. I have prepared answers to each question and every reaction. I am ready to face his anger, hate, and love. Everything.

As we reached the cabin, Bryan opened the door of the cabin with a key. I looked at him with questioning eyes, I doubt that Chris will let him keep the keys or anyone else.

“Alpha’s office has spare keys to every cabin in these woods for emergencies and this is the biggest emergency.” I nodded at him and smiled as he called our breakup the biggest emergency.

I moved in and saw how this cabin is decorated for a romantic date with petals of red roses and candles scattered all over the place. There is a bottle of champagne on the table between the roses. Mary did take care of everything as she said. I wonder how she did all of this without Chris’s knowing. Bryan spoke as if he read my mind.
