"Mother…" Romulus knocked on the oaken doors that lead to the massive dinner table surrounded by ancient looking tapestry. The room remained dimly lit but the brightness of his mother's eye shine could be seen in the pitches of black. They flickered green to yellow as she raised her head to look at her son and the guest.

"Please… sit." She welcomed them with a smile, now standing up as Romulus directed Purrsephone to a chair, pulling it out for her before looking to his mother.

"Why is it so dark in here?" Romulus chuckled some before shaking his head and going to the wall, lifting the light panel switch to raise the dim to comfortable glow. "Any darker we wouldn't be able to see where we are eating." He then walked over to his mother, hugging her in her seat and planted a loving kiss on her cheek.

Mother Wolf smiled to him as she pated his cheek before motioning him to have a seat. Her bright eyes trailed over to the female who sat on the left side of her, she smiled before raising a brow.

Purrsephone looked over to Romulus who gave her a look of assurance that it was going to be ok. Her eyes met with Mother Wolf's and she smiled very little as she stood up now. "Thank you for inviting me into your beautiful home, Madam Moon… My name is Purrsephone, I feel honored to meet you." She lowered her head to Mother Wolf before sitting down.

Mother Wolf watched her for a few more moments before she took a deep breath. "It is a pleasure for me to finally meet you. I have heard so much about you, but then again I know so little." She smiled some as she raised her hand and from the kitchen double doors, her two troublesome daughters emerged with a trey of food; one between the two girls. "For dinner tonight… I wanted to make it special for this night…"

Rhea placed her trey down first, eyes locked on to Purrsephone; wanting to snarl, but with better judgment she kept to herself.

Romulus could only smile at the wonderful spread that his mother probably prepared for dinner. Even happier that Purrsephone didn't seem so nervous about the meeting. He didn't say a word, he had assured himself that the evening would be uneventful—he could only hope though.

"Smoked Red Snapper with a light lemon/mint cream sauce, peppered green beans, Kobe Beef steaks smothered in mushrooms—rare, also sweetened rolls and a tossed salad… Please, feast." She spoke gently as her eye remained on the cat. She studied her.

Unsure of what to do, Purrsephone—who was a vegetarian, took a bite of the steak. Placing it to her quivering lips, she seemed queasy. As the sickening smells of rare, luke warm steak invaded her sense—she could only think of why she was doing it. The family she was introduced to were a pack of werewolves…werewolves ate meat—under cooked, bleeding, still breathing meat. Of course she wanted to fit in so with that thought she sucked it up and placed the cooled meat into her mouth.

Silvia watched the girl with a risen brow as her head rested on her interlaced fingers, processing everything with that wolf like grin. "My…I hope it tastes delicious." She purred gently as she ate a piece of her steak and beans, enjoying the grand pleasures of the delicious flavors going on. Her golden eyes flickered over to her son as she watched him. Just watching him. What was he thinking? This girl, she thought, was not honest; not true. Did he not see that in her? Or is he too blinded by the pretty features that embellished her? Either way, she would have her last words before the night was to end. "So I hear that you are in Fearleading?" Mother Wolf asked gently as her golden eyes danced over to the feline.

Purrsephone looked up to her and smiled a little as she placed her fork down to hold conversation. The emotions she was feeling right about now was everything but calm. She wanted Romulus to save her, but feared it would anger the mother to rely on her son for assistance in answering basic questions. She was a mess. "W-why y-"

"Do not fear me Purrsephone… answer the question in confidence; unless you are uneasy with me getting to know you—then I guess we can talk some other time." Silvia cornered her, again with that look like she was waiting for her to give up.

The feline bit the bottom of her lip before she met those daggers for eyes and smiled some, gaining some confidence now. "N-No it is fine. I do not mind at all. I am in Fearleading, yes. I have been since I could remember." Yellow orbs trailed to the smile of Romulus who just sat there. Not saying a word. She wanted to kick him; she didn't like the feeling of being backed into a corner and unable to fight back. Why would she want to fight Mother Wolf? Romulus' mother?! She growled to herself internally as he ears lowered to the sides of her head. This was going to be a long night.

These moments would turn into a few hours into the night, dinner had been over and Rema was left to clean the mess.

Purrsephone had pulled Romulus into a hallway of the house, looking up in his eyes with a frown upon her pretty face. "Thanks for letting me get skinned alive by your mother! She hates me!" She whispered with a hiss towards her boyfriend, glaring into those green, confused eyes.

"Hate you? That is such a strong word. She doesn't hate you, that is how she is…I told you to keep calm. It is fine." He smiled to try to assure her that everything was ok, but her nerves were wrecked. "Purrsy… She doesn't hate you…" He calmly placed his hands on her shoulders, looking deep into her eyes with a calm smirk wanting her to be assured.

It didn't matter what Romulus did, she felt the way she felt. Purrsephone knew that his mother was probably listening closely from the living room as she enjoyed her tea and fed off her fear for dessert. A mess Purrsephone came out even though she tried to assure herself that she had to remain calm. She beat herself over it as she now looked down to her heeled feet, breathing a little harder at all of the questions Silvia had asked her. Each question seemed harder and harder to answer as time went on, each answer became more and more embellished; she hated herself for that. "I-I think I should just go home Romulus…" She sighed.

Romulus stepped back a little, grabbing for her hand but she back away from him. He wasn't going to push the matter anymore. "Very well… I shall take you home then."

Purrsephone sighed for the millionth time as she found a bathroom and went in, locking the door behind her.

The male could only watch before he left back to the living room to find his mother comfortably sipping on her hot tea, her legs daintily crossed over the other. She was calm and when those eyes gleamed to her son, a smile danced across her face, before he could speak, she cleared her throat.

"She isn't true…She has you around merely to make herself look better. I do not like that." Silvia spoke gently as she placed her cup down on the marble table in front of her. She knew best. She had always known best for her children. Every female that would come into Romulus' life would not be good enough and that was her job to ensure that he knew. "You shouldn't settle for anything less than your self-worth, my prince." She looked to him with stern eyes.

With a sigh, Romulus could only listen what she was saying. Yes, Purrsephone seemed to change once they started dating. He would notice these things like the way she would dress sometimes; completely different than what he had known before. She would wear glasses, when she didn't need to. She would speak differently, when she didn't know how. The feline changed and even went to the length to lie to his mother… It didn't bother him until now and it wasn't until his mother spoke her opinion that he had realized that maybe it wasn't for the best. He did feel for the girl, but he didn't love her.

"But this is your life Romulus… I have faith that you will make excellent choices in the near future. I didn't raise a fool… Now, I am sure you will be taking her home; I on the other hand will be going to bed." She yawned a little before standing up, going to her son, kissing him on the forehead before walking down the hall; stopping when Purrsephone came out the bathroom.

Purrsephone was startled when she looked up to see Silvia, quickly she bowed to her. "Dinner was lovely…I thank you again for having me over."

"It was a pleasure Miss. Purrsephone. You have a great rest of the night. Romulus is waiting for you in the living room." With that she didn't say another word, elegantly she graced over the marble flooring in her long gown and disappeared into the darkness of the large master bedroom.

Now in the car, they remained silent. Tears streamed down Purrsephone's cheek, smearing her eyeliner and ruining her mascara. She still remained silent as Romulus dropped her off at home. Without a word Purrsephone got out the car; without even saying goodbye and went inside her home, leaving Romulus to ponder on his thoughts about the whole situation.

Without much answer to every question that plagues him mind, he decided to call the only person; though very judgemental, the one ghoul who always remained on the back of his mind.


Thank you for your patience guys!
