Wolves mate for life
CHAPTER ONE
After they came back to New York, Virginia took Wolf to her apartement.
Nothing has been changed there. Everything was clean. Tony's boss and his
family kept the house clean and tidy.
"I'm hungry. Do you have anything to eat?" asked Wolf.
"There must be something to eat in the kitchen." Virginia replied and went to
the kitchen, but she came back with nothing.
"There's nothing to eat there. Looks like dad's boss worked on keeping the
house clean forgetting about food."
"What're we going to do?" Wolf asked, scraching his head "I can't live
without food."
"We can go out. To a restaurant or something."
"Yes! Let's do that. But, umm, do you know any place where they have
bacon? or umm, lamb fillet?", Virginia looked at Wolf and managed to keep a
laughter.
She only smiled and said "You really are hungry, huh? I know a couple of
places where they have nice food. Come on, let's go. I just need to get some
money. They're in my room. I'll be right back." Wolf waited in the living
room, examening each corner of it.
Finally Virginia came and they both left. They went out. Virginia took him to
a little diner which was close to her house. They sat at a table. The waitress
came and gave them the menu.
"I'll be back after a couple of minutes to take your order." She smiled and
went.
"So, what do you want to eat?" Virginia asked.
"I'm not sure, they have so much things in here." Wolf replied as he was
reading the menu. "Huff-puff, I'm confused. Alright, alright. I don't care
what's written here. I want bacon." He said finally and put the menu on the
table.
Virginia kept reading, then she decided what to eat too.
The waitress came and asked "Have you decided?" and looked at Wolf. As he
was the man of the table.
"Yes" Said Wolf. "The lady will have, umm.." Virginia interrupted and said
"Just a salad. I can't decide which one to choose. Your menu is has big
choices. And I was confused. So, I'll any kind of salad that you think is the
best. And we'll have water."
"Alright Miss. Salad at the diner's choise. And you Sir?" She turned to Wolf.
"I want bacon. I was confused of the menu, too. So, I want bacon. Just
meat. No vegetables, and nothing spicy on it."
"Your order will be here in five minutes" The waitress said and went to the
kitchen to bring the requested meals. As she told them, after five minutes
she came back with the dishes.
"Fruit Salad for the lady, and Eastern Bacon for the gentleman".
"Eastern Bacon?" Wolf asked.
"It's the newest dish. We have a new menu coordinator, and she gave the
reciept for it. I ensure you, it's delicious." The waitress said with a smile.
Wolf sniffed the plate and said "It smells good. Let's see about the taste."
"Umm, Sir?" The waitress interrupted him "You wanted nothing spicy. But I
must say that this dish contains some sort if spices in it. Without them it
wouldn't taste good." she made a guilty looking face.
"Cripes. Well, I'll try it. but it better be good." He said. And started to eat.
"Now if you'll excuse me. Enjoy your meal." She said and left them.
"This is great!" Wolf told Virginia. "It really tastes good. Want to try some?"
"No, thanks. I like salad better." She replied.
After finishing they paid and went out.
"Should we go home?" Asked Wolf.
"Do you want to go home?" Virginia replied.
"Well, not really. I want to see your kingdom".
"It is late for that now. But we can go to a bar or a night club. We can have
a drink." Said Virginia.
"What is a night club?" Wolf asked.
"You don't know what's a night club?"
"No"
"Well, it's a place where beside having tables and menus and drinks and all
that stuff, they have shows. Some have singers, some have comedy actors"
Wolf was interested of that now.
"Can we go to a night club?"
"Alright, although I've never been to one. But I guess that it'll be fun."
They walked on the street untill they found a place that looked like a night
club.
"I think that this is new" Virginia said.
"How can you tell that it's new?" Wolf asked her.
"Well, this place was a flower store before we left. And now it's a night club.
Let's get in. What do you say?" She turned to Wolf.
"Well, I don't know what is that place, but if you want to, let's go."
They entered, and after the little red corridor a man met them at the main
entrance.
"Your invitations please?" He asked.
Wolf and Virginia looked at eachother, and then Virginia said "We are new in
the city, and we wondered what kind of a club is this."
"We didn't know that we needed invitations to enter" Said Wolf.
"I am sorry to dissapoint you, but you need invitatios to enter today." The
man said. At that moment another man came, he was tall, a little bit
rounded at the belly.
"May I help you?" He asked the couple.
"We are new to the city and we wanted to visit your club, but this gentleman
here said that we can't enter without invitations." Said Wolf, trying to look
as sophisticated as he could.
"May I ask where do you come from Sir?" The tall man asked.
"We are from The Fourth Kindom which is ruled by His Majesty King Wendell
White." Wolf replied. Virginia looked at him, trying to let him know that
there is no such kingdom in the real world. But Wolf didn't care.
"The Fourth Kingdom? I never heard of it. Where is it located?" He asked.
"It is at the northern sea. At the eastern side of it." Wolf replied smiling.
Trying not to show the man that he was lying.
"Oh I see. Maybe that's why I never heard of it." The man said and smiled.
"Will you please wait a minute, I'll be right back." He said and left.
Virginia pulled Wolf to a side and whispered "What on earth are you doing?
We can go to another place!", Wolf put his hand on her shoulder and said
"Don't worry dear, we'll get inside, you'll see."
Finally the tall man came back smiling.
"The owner of the club welcomes you and here are the invitaions for the
both of you. All you need is to introduce yourself at the entrance."
"Thank you very much." Said Wolf and took the invitations.
"Please tell the owner that we are thankful to him."
"I will Sir. Now please come in, welcome to "Fullmoon" night club" He said
and showed them the way to enter.
"Fullmoon, huh?" Wolf said in a low voice.
"Shh, just keep on the look that you have on your face. You look funny"
Virginia told him. At the entrance They gave the invitations to the guard.
"Your names please?" He asked as he was going to write them in the guests
name list.
"Virginia Lewis" Virginia said.
"Warren Wolfson" Wolf said.
The man looked at him confused by Wolf's last name.
"You have an interesting last name Sir. Combined by our club's name it will
turn to.."
"Yes, I know what you mean" Said Wolf and continued "Can we get in now?"
"Oh, yes Sir. Welcome to "Fullmoon" night club. Enjoy yourselves." Wolf and
Virginia finally went inside.
They were amazed by the decoration. The walls were black, with little white
lamps on them looking like stars, and one big lamp in the middle of the hall
was considered to be the moon.
"I smell something" Wolf said sniffing the air around him.
"What is it Wolf?" Virginia asked.
"I'm not sure, but looks like we're not the only new people here. Huff- puff!
This can't be!"
"What is it?"
"I smell half-wolf!"
"Are you kidding?"
"I wish I was" he replied and they sat at their table.
A man came out on the stage. "Ladies and Gentlemen, Welcome to
"Fullmoon". Tonight we have special guests here with us. first, I'd like to
introduce you to our royal guests from the far Fourth kingdom, Mr. Warren
Wolfson and Miss Virginia Lewis" He waved his hand toward Wolf and
Virginia and the big light went on them.
All the people there started to lcap and welcome them.
Wolf and Virginia were confused, but they waved back to them smiling.
"Cripes! I didn't think that they'll do this." Wolf whispered to Virginia.
"Niether did I, I guess we must keep smiling" Virginia replied.
"And our next special guest will be on stage in a moment." The man
continued. "Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome our guest from the warm
middle east. The best singer of Asia. Here's Lola!" and he waved his hand
toward the curtains as he went back inside.
The curtains opened and a woman appeared. She was wearing a long red
evening gown, which was shining by the glitter on it. The shoulders were
opened and the dress was showing her body through it. She started to sing
a slow song.
Wolf's mouth dropped opened. He was staring at her like he saw a fairy or
something. Virginia noticed that Wolf was so interested in the lady. She
couldn't handle it and she said.
"Wolf, close your mouth." Wolf closed his mouth of course, but continued to
stare at her.
"Wolf, what's wrong with you?" Virginia asked.
"I.. I.. Huff-puff! I don't know what to say!" He replied without looking at
Virginia.
Virginia pulled back for a moment and said.
"Wolf? Helloooo?!" She waved her hand in front of his eyes.
"Succulent!" was all that Wolf said at that moment.
"I think that we should get out." Virginia said. "Looks like she's taking your
mind off"
"No, no, no. We just got in here." He said to her. "Besides, remember what I
told you about smelling a half-wolf?"
"Yes. So?" Virginia replied.
"She's the one"
"But Wolf, if she's a half-wolf she must have a tail, but look at her. Her dress
is so tight and she couldn't hide it under it."
"You're right. How about meeting her at the end of the show?"
"You've got to be kiding. Do you know how hard it is to get near a singer
after the show? they won't let us!"
"Not when you're considered royalty" Said Wolf and winked at Virginia.
"But what if you're wrong?"
"My nose is never wrong!" He said.
The woman kept singing calm songs, one after another. And after three
hours of non stop singing she finished the last song and wished everyone a
good night.
"Come on, this is our chance" Wolf told Virginia.
"I'll ask the waiter to take us to her. Waiter! Waiter!" he called.
A young man came near thir table.
"May I help you Sir?"
"Yes, we'd like to meet that lady who was singing" Wolf said.
"Of course Sir. Wait a moment. I'll be right back" he said and went.
After five minutes the same old tall man came, who gave them the
invitations.
"I am the manager of this club." He introduced himself.
"Looks like you liked our star. Haven't you Sir?"
"Oh, yes we did. She's great! Succulent!" Wolf was getting excited.
So, Virginia jumped into the converstaion before Wolf can say anything else
that would have ruined everything.
"She has a great voice. we'd like to meet her. Is that possible?" She asked.
"Anything is possible for royalty. Please come with me, I'll take you to her
room." He said.
Wolf and Virginia followed him through the hall, then the red corridor, untill
they reached the room.
The woman's name was wirtten on the door with big letters "Lola".
The manager knocked the door.
"Who is it?" a voice came from inside.
"Miss Lola, our guests from the Fourth kingdom would like to meet you." the
manager said.
"Alright, the door's open, come in please." she replied.
The manager opened the door and let Wolf and Virginia get in. He closed the
door after them. Lola came out of the dreesing section of the room. She was
wearing jeans and a t-shirt. She welcomed them with a smile on her face.
Well, alomst a smile.
"Hello" She said and her smile faded when she saw Wolf.
"Hi, umm, we liked your songs. You have a great voice" Said Virginia, as she
noticed that Wolf was staring again. So, she hit him with her elbow.
"Oh, yes" Wolf came back "Good songs." He said and nodded.
"I feel that you're not here because of my singing. Please have a seat." She
pointed to the couches in the room.
After they sat down, there was a big silence in the room. So, Lola spoke
first.
"And what brings you here?"
"Are you a Wolf?" Wolf asked.
Virginia looked at him confused by the straight question.
"Well, if you sensed that, it means that you are one too. Although I smelled
you right before I go on stage" She replied.
"Cripes! I knew that there was a wolf around" He turned toVirginia.
"But you don't have a tail." Said Virginia.
"Magic surgery. As it is known in the Kingdoms." Lola replied.
Wolf felt bad about that. He never thought that a wolf would cut his tail for
anything.
"But why did you do that?" He asked "Are you ashamed of being a wolf?"
"I'm proud of being a wolf. But if I kept the tail, I wouldn't have worked
here. Singing is my life."
"So you did plastic surgery?" Virginia asked.
"I thought it was magic surgery" Wolf said.
"It's the same thing Wolf" Virginia replied. "We call it plastic surgery here"
"I see" he said and scratched his head. "But how did you end up here?"
"Well, my mother was a half-wolf and my father was a human. They came
here a long time ago using the mirror of the northern sea." Lola said.
"And how did they find it? No one could find where it was in the sea." Wolf
said.
"I don't know how they found it, I only know that it wasn't in the sea at that
time."
"Have you ever been back there? I mean to the 9 Kingdoms" Virginia asked.
"No. I know only what my parents told me. They come from the 2nd
kingdom, which is ruled by Red Ridinghood 3rd. Is she still on the thrown?"
"She sure is." Wolf replied.
"I think it's getting late now, we must go home Wolf." Virginia said.
"I can take you there by my car if you want. It's dangerous getting out at
this time." Lola said.
"Will you do that? Wow, that's so nice of you." Virginia replied.
"Wolf what do you say?"
"I don't know if that car thing is safe or not, but huff-puff, if you say it's
safer than going back on foot, then count me in!" He replied.
"Alright, I'll get my bag and we'll leave" Lola said and went to get her bag
from the dressign section.
"O.K., I'm ready" She said when she came back. They left the room and
went outside.
They waited at the entrance of the club untill her car was brought by a
servant. The manager saw them and came close.
"I see that you got close to eachother" he said.
"They are my relatives Bob" Lola said to him.
"I didn't know that they were here"
"Your relatives? But I thought that you're from Middle East" he was
surprised.
"My parents left the kingdom when I was a child, so I was raised in another
country." She came closer to Bob and put her hand on his shoulder.
"Bob, if you didn't give them the invitations we wouldn't have met. Thank
you so much." she kissed him on the cheek.
Bob was flattered. He smiled and said "I'm so happy to be the reason for the
family's reunion."
"Thank you so much Mr. Bob" Said Wolf and hit Bob's shoulder.
"We will never forget what you did for us. When we go back we will
recommend you to the King."
"Oh, I'm so honored" Bob replied and bowed.
Virginia managed to hide a laughter, she just smiled.
"O.K., I guess we better get going now. I'm tired. Good night Bob" Lola said
and sat in the car.
Virginia and Wolf followed her and wished Bob a good night too. Virginia
showed Lola the way to her apartement. When they got there they offered
her to come in, but she said
"No thanks, I so tired. I'll go home now. Maybe we can meet tomorrow?"
She said and looked at Wolf.
"Oh yes! We will!" he said.
"Here's my number, call me tomorrow after one o'clock, O.K.?" said lola as
she gave them her phone number.
"Mary? Is that your name?" Wolf asked as he read the name on the card.
"Yes, Lola is my stage name. We don't give our true names to the audience"
"You have a nice name Mary" Virginia said.
"Thank you. Feel free to call me tomorrow. I'll be waiting for your call." she
said
"We will call you. O.K. Wolf let's go home now. Good night Mary" Said
Virginia and got out of the car.
"I'll be happy to see you again" Mary told Wolf and winked.
"Yeah, umm, good night" he said and got out of the car.
Mary went home, and Wolf and Virginia went to their apartement.
And none of the other characters are real. They are made upon my
own imagination.

CHAPTER ONE
After they came back to New York, Virginia took Wolf to her apartement.
Nothing has been changed there. Everything was clean. Tony's boss and his
family kept the house clean and tidy.
"I'm hungry. Do you have anything to eat?" asked Wolf.
"There must be something to eat in the kitchen." Virginia replied and went to
the kitchen, but she came back with nothing.
"There's nothing to eat there. Looks like dad's boss worked on keeping the
house clean forgetting about food."
"What're we going to do?" Wolf asked, scraching his head "I can't live
without food."
"We can go out. To a restaurant or something."
"Yes! Let's do that. But, umm, do you know any place where they have
bacon? or umm, lamb fillet?", Virginia looked at Wolf and managed to keep a
laughter.
She only smiled and said "You really are hungry, huh? I know a couple of
places where they have nice food. Come on, let's go. I just need to get some
money. They're in my room. I'll be right back." Wolf waited in the living

Finally Virginia came and they both left. They went out. Virginia took him to
a little diner which was close to her house. They sat at a table. The waitress
came and gave them the menu.
"I'll be back after a couple of minutes to take your order." She smiled and
went.
"So, what do you want to eat?" Virginia asked.
"I'm not sure, they have so much things in here." Wolf replied as he was
reading the menu. "Huff-puff, I'm confused. Alright, alright. I don't care
what's written here. I want bacon." He said finally and put the menu on the
table.
Virginia kept reading, then she decided what to eat too.
The waitress came and asked "Have you decided?" and looked at Wolf. As he
was the man of the table.
"Yes" Said Wolf. "The lady will have, umm.." Virginia interrupted and said
"Just a salad. I can't decide which one to choose. Your menu is has big
choices. And I was confused. So, I'll any kind of salad that you think is the
best. And we'll have water."
"Alright Miss. Salad at the diner's choise. And you Sir?" She turned to Wolf.
"I want bacon. I was confused of the menu, too. So, I want bacon. Just
meat. No vegetables, and nothing spicy on it."
"Your order will be here in five minutes" The waitress said and went to the
kitchen to bring the requested meals. As she told them, after five minutes
she came back with the dishes.
"Fruit Salad for the lady, and Eastern Bacon for the gentleman".
"Eastern Bacon?" Wolf asked.
"It's the newest dish. We have a new menu coordinator, and she gave the
reciept for it. I ensure you, it's delicious." The waitress said with a smile.
Wolf sniffed the plate and said "It smells good. Let's see about the taste."
"Umm, Sir?" The waitress interrupted him "You wanted nothing spicy. But I
must say that this dish contains some sort if spices in it. Without them it
wouldn't taste good." she made a guilty looking face.
"Cripes. Well, I'll try it. but it better be good." He said. And started to eat.
"Now if you'll excuse me. Enjoy your meal." She said and left them.
"This is great!" Wolf told Virginia. "It really tastes good. Want to try some?"
"No, thanks. I like salad better." She replied.
After finishing they paid and went out.
"Should we go home?" Asked Wolf.
"Do you want to go home?" Virginia replied.
"Well, not really. I want to see your kingdom".
"It is late for that now. But we can go to a bar or a night club. We can have
a drink." Said Virginia.
"What is a night club?" Wolf asked.
"You don't know what's a night club?"
"No"
"Well, it's a place where beside having tables and menus and drinks and all
that stuff, they have shows. Some have singers, some have comedy actors"
Wolf was interested of that now.
"Can we go to a night club?"
"Alright, although I've never been to one. But I guess that it'll be fun."
They walked on the street untill they found a place that looked like a night

"I think that this is new" Virginia said.
"How can you tell that it's new?" Wolf asked her.
"Well, this place was a flower store before we left. And now it's a night club.
Let's get in. What do you say?" She turned to Wolf.
"Well, I don't know what is that place, but if you want to, let's go."
They entered, and after the little red corridor a man met them at the main
entrance.
"Your invitations please?" He asked.
Wolf and Virginia looked at eachother, and then Virginia said "We are new in

"We didn't know that we needed invitations to enter" Said Wolf.
"I am sorry to dissapoint you, but you need invitatios to enter today." The
man said. At that moment another man came, he was tall, a little bit

"We are from The Fourth Kindom which is ruled by His Majesty King Wendell

there is no such kingdom in the real world. But Wolf didn't care.
"The Fourth Kingdom? I never heard of it. Where is it located?" He asked.
"It is at the northern sea. At the eastern side of it." Wolf replied smiling.
Trying not to show the man that he was lying.
"Oh I see. Maybe that's why I never heard of it." The man said and smiled.
"Will you please wait a minute, I'll be right back." He said and left.
Virginia pulled Wolf to a side and whispered "What on earth are you doing?
We can go to another place!", Wolf put his hand on her shoulder and said
"Don't worry dear, we'll get inside, you'll see."
Finally the tall man came back smiling.
"The owner of the club welcomes you and here are the invitaions for the
both of you. All you need is to introduce yourself at the entrance."
"Thank you very much." Said Wolf and took the invitations.
"Please tell the owner that we are thankful to him."
"I will Sir. Now please come in, welcome to "Fullmoon" night club" He said
and showed them the way to enter.
"Fullmoon, huh?" Wolf said in a low voice.
"Shh, just keep on the look that you have on your face. You look funny"
Virginia told him. At the entrance They gave the invitations to the guard.
"Your names please?" He asked as he was going to write them in the guests
name list.
"Virginia Lewis" Virginia said.
"Warren Wolfson" Wolf said.
The man looked at him confused by Wolf's last name.
"You have an interesting last name Sir. Combined by our club's name it will
turn to.."
"Yes, I know what you mean" Said Wolf and continued "Can we get in now?"
"Oh, yes Sir. Welcome to "Fullmoon" night club. Enjoy yourselves." Wolf and
Virginia finally went inside.
They were amazed by the decoration. The walls were black, with little white

"What is it?"
"I smell half-wolf!"
"Are you kidding?"
"I wish I was" he replied and they sat at their table.
A man came out on the stage. "Ladies and Gentlemen, Welcome to
"Fullmoon". Tonight we have special guests here with us. first, I'd like to
introduce you to our royal guests from the far Fourth kingdom, Mr. Warren
Wolfson and Miss Virginia Lewis" He waved his hand toward Wolf and
Virginia and the big light went on them.
All the people there started to lcap and welcome them.
Wolf and Virginia were confused, but they waved back to them smiling.
"Cripes! I didn't think that they'll do this." Wolf whispered to Virginia.
"Niether did I, I guess we must keep smiling" Virginia replied.
"And our next special guest will be on stage in a moment." The man
continued. "Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome our guest from the warm

toward the curtains as he went back inside.
The curtains opened and a woman appeared. She was wearing a long red

Wolf's mouth dropped opened. He was staring at her like he saw a fairy or

"Wolf, close your mouth." Wolf closed his mouth of course, but continued to
stare at her.
"Wolf, what's wrong with you?" Virginia asked.
"I.. I.. Huff-puff! I don't know what to say!" He replied without looking at
Virginia.
Virginia pulled back for a moment and said.
"Wolf? Helloooo?!" She waved her hand in front of his eyes.
"Succulent!" was all that Wolf said at that moment.
"I think that we should get out." Virginia said. "Looks like she's taking your

"So you did plastic surgery?" Virginia asked.
"I thought it was magic surgery" Wolf said.
"It's the same thing Wolf" Virginia replied. "We call it plastic surgery here"
"I see" he said and scratched his head. "But how did you end up here?"
"Well, my mother was a half-wolf and my father was a human. They came
here a long time ago using the mirror of the northern sea." Lola said.
"And how did they find it? No one could find where it was in the sea." Wolf
said.
"I don't know how they found it, I only know that it wasn't in the sea at that
time."
"Have you ever been back there? I mean to the 9 Kingdoms" Virginia asked.
"No. I know only what my parents told me. They come from the 2nd
kingdom, which is ruled by Red Ridinghood 3rd. Is she still on the thrown?"
"She sure is." Wolf replied.
"I think it's getting late now, we must go home Wolf." Virginia said.
"I can take you there by my car if you want. It's dangerous getting out at
this time." Lola said.
"Will you do that? Wow, that's so nice of you." Virginia replied.
"Wolf what do you say?"
"I don't know if that car thing is safe or not, but huff-puff, if you say it's
safer than going back on foot, then count me in!" He replied.
"Alright, I'll get my bag and we'll leave" Lola said and went to get her bag
from the dressign section.
"O.K., I'm ready" She said when she came back. They left the room and
went outside.
They waited at the entrance of the club untill her car was brought by a
servant. The manager saw them and came close.
"I see that you got close to eachother" he said.
"They are my relatives Bob" Lola said to him.
"I didn't know that they were here"
"Your relatives? But I thought that you're from Middle East" he was
surprised.
"My parents left the kingdom when I was a child, so I was raised in another
country." She came closer to Bob and put her hand on his shoulder.
"Bob, if you didn't give them the invitations we wouldn't have met. Thank
you so much." she kissed him on the cheek.
Bob was flattered. He smiled and said "I'm so happy to be the reason for the
family's reunion."
"Thank you so much Mr. Bob" Said Wolf and hit Bob's shoulder.
"We will never forget what you did for us. When we go back we will
recommend you to the King."
"Oh, I'm so honored" Bob replied and bowed.
Virginia managed to hide a laughter, she just smiled.
"O.K., I guess we better get going now. I'm tired. Good night Bob" Lola said
and sat in the car.
Virginia and Wolf followed her and wished Bob a good night too. Virginia
showed Lola the way to her apartement. When they got there they offered
her to come in, but she said
"No thanks, I so tired. I'll go home now. Maybe we can meet tomorrow?"
She said and looked at Wolf.
"Oh yes! We will!" he said.
"Here's my number, call me tomorrow after one o'clock, O.K.?" said lola as
she gave them her phone number.
"Mary? Is that your name?" Wolf asked as he read the name on the card.
"Yes, Lola is my stage name. We don't give our true names to the audience"
"You have a nice name Mary" Virginia said.
"Thank you. Feel free to call me tomorrow. I'll be waiting for your call." she
said
"We will call you. O.K. Wolf let's go home now. Good night Mary" Said
Virginia and got out of the car.
"I'll be happy to see you again" Mary told Wolf and winked.
"Yeah, umm, good night" he said and got out of the car.
Mary went home, and Wolf and Virginia went to their apartement.
