CHAPTER NINE

Virginia opened her eyes and noticed that Wolf wasn't in bed.

"Wolf?" she called.

"Yes?" he replied from the bathroom.

"Nothing. I was wondering where you were." she said and closed her eyes again.

She felt some water drops on her face. she wiped it off anf opened her eyes and saw Wolf staring at her from the top of her head.

"Good morning my fluffy one." he smiled at her, and water continued to drop on her. As he was just out of shower.

"Good morning Wolf. And would you please get dried? I am starting to feel that I'm in a pool."

"Sorry." he said and quickly got off the bed and shaked himself.

"With a towel please?" she asked, almost demanding.

"OK"

He dried himself, and went back into the bed again. he didn't even bother by getting dressed.

"Are you going to get up? It's eleven o'clock." he asked.

"I don't want to. I want to stay in bed."

"Hungry?"

"Yeah."

"Be right back." he hurried to the kitchen, and quickly made her three bacon snadwitches, and with a cup of apple juice, he rushed back to the room.

"There you go." he gave her one sandwitch, and put the other two and the juice on the little table beside the bed.

She ate her breakfast, and Wolf was getting dressed.

"Why are you getting dressed?" she asked.

"You don't want me to stay naked all day, don't you?"

"That would've been nice" she grinned, continueing to chew.

"Huff-puff! where did your manners go young lady?" he said, trying to act like a protective adult. but he failed.

"Well, a man took it all with him in the nine kingdoms. I gave it all to him. Even my heart." she said, smiling.

"Oh, I see. And could this man be your mate for any chance?"

"Yep."

"Oh Virginia, I love you, I love you, I love you."

"I love you, I love you, I love you too Wolf." she kissed his nose.

"Listen. I want to go out for a while. I want to walk in the city to see how it looks."

"I can't come with you. I wan to stay home to do some cleaning."

"Can I help?"

"No, thanks. You go out, and have fun. I'll be fine."

"Alright my succulent." he said and rushed out of the apartment.

Wolf walked in the streets for a while. He didn't know where to go. Suddenly he smelled somethin familliar. he followed the scent untill he was standing in front of a pet store.

"Cripes! this is great!" he entered the store and stopped in front of each cage that had a bunny in it.

"Huff-puff, this is delicious!" he said.

"They are so nice, aren't they?" a woman talked from behind.

"Yeah." Wolf stared at the bunnies, but soon he turned around to see who was it.

"Good morning Wolf."

"Good morning Mary. How.. did.. you..? How are you?" he finally knew what he wanted to ask.

"I'm fine. What about you?" she came and stood beside him, watching the little bunnies.

"I'm fine too."

"Those bunnies are so tempting aren't they?" she looked at him, and he noticed her eyes turning to green, then yellow, then back to normal.

"They look.. fllufy." he replied. Unsure of what would come net.

"Wnat one for breakfast?" she asked, almost whispering.

'Breakfast'. It sounded good to him. "Yeah, sure. but how?"

"Excuse me?" Mary called for the shopkeeper.

"May I help you Miss?" the man looked at her and recognised her at once. "Oh, Miss Lola. Is it really you? This is an honor for me. How can I help you?"

"I'd like to buy a couple of bunnies. I really love them you know." she said, smiling.

Wolf only stared, mouth opened.

"Oh, please choose which couple you want. And they're yours. They're my little present to you." he said.

"Oh, you really don't have to. I can pay as much as they worth."

"No, no, no. I can never forgive myself by taking money from you. You can pay me by always singing good songs. You're the best!"

"How nice of you to say that." she smiled to him again. Then, she turned to Wolf. "Which one would you like?"

Wolf pointed at one, and Mary chose her desired one. The hsopkeeper put them in a small cage and gave it to Wolf to carry.

"Thank you so much." she said and they left the shop.

"Where are we going now?" Wolf asked.

"Home."

"Let's go to my home. Virginia would love to see the bunnies."

"But she wouldn't like to se them turn into breakfast, now would she?"

"Huff-puff! How could I forget about that. She loved animals."

"See? let's go to my house. I promise to make you the best breakfast ever!"

They reached her car. Wolf put the cage on the backseet and sat in the front. Mary drove the car to her house. When they were there, Wolf took the cage out of the car and they both went inside.

"Would you like to have it in a wolfish way? Or should it be cooked?" she asked.

"Wolfish way is always the best. but how can we hunt them? They are already in a cage."

"Come with me." she took him to the back yard of her house. It was big enough to be mistaken as a forest.

"Cripes. this is great!" Wolf said.

"Now let the rabbits out of the cage. Let them go out for a while. Then we'll hunt them."

Wolf opened the cage and took the bunnies out of it and put the out on the ground. They quickly ran into the trees.

"Let's go inside untill they settle down. The know that we are wolves."

"Yeah." Wolf's eyes flashed to yellow, then to normal for a moment.

They sat inside for a while. Wolf told Mary about the nine kingdoms, and how he met Virginia. Well, that was the part that annoyed her most. Why wasn't her potion woring on him? Did she do something wrong?

"I think it's time." she said.

"Let's go."

They went out. They didn't see the bunnies, but they could smell them. Each one went after the desired scent. soon, both of them started to run after the rabbits. Wolf managed to catch his first. A minute later Mary caught hers too. they looked at eachother and without anyother thought, their eyes flashed to yellow and they ripped the rabbit's throught and started to eat in a wolfish way. Both of them were filled with blood. their faces, hands, clothes. All red.

"This was great." Wolf said, with a big smile on his face and with they yellow flash disappearing from his eyes.

"I never had this kind of fun before." Mary replied, her eyes going back to normal too.

"I think we need to get cleaned up." Wolf said.

"You're right. I don't think that it's a good idea to go out with that look. Come, I'll show you the way to the shower." she took him inside, and went upstairs to her room. "Here. You know how to.." she didn't even finish what she was saying and Wolf cut in.

"Yes, I do. Virginia taught me how to use them."

"OK." she said, and acted like she was going out.

Wolf entered the bathroom, opened the water untill it got warm inough to cause the mirrors get sweaty. He got undressed and went into the shower.

Mary knew this was it. It was now or never. She knew that Wolf couldn't smell her in the bathroom, now that it was kinda foggy inside there. She went back inside her room, got undressed, and went into the bathroom. She saw him there standing under the water without any movement. She sneaked behind him, opened the door of the shower chamber slowly and entered.

Wolf felt someone was behind him. He turned to see a naked Mary standing behind him, smiling at him provocativly. He smiled back. She touched his chest with her hands, she moved her hand on his chest, then went up to his neck, jaw-line, face. he closed his eyes as to enjoy the moment. When she touched his face, he opened his eyes and looked into her's. They flashed green. He pulled her to him and held her tight in his arms. she waited for this for so long. She wanted him. but she didn't know if he wanted her as much.

She lifted her head and kised his lips. He kissed her back. He moved his hands all the way on her back, pulling her closer to him. she was doing the same. After a while of kissing in the shower they went out to the bedroom. Mary held his hand and pulled him toward the bed. He pushed her to it, and she fell on it, on her back. He went on the top of her, kissing her again.

At one moment, he thought he heard Virginia calling for him. Mary thought that she heard Tom calling for her. They both sat up.

"Did you hear that?" they said together. Wolf scratched his temple and went to get his clothes back on. Mary did the same.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to." Wolf said.

"No, I'm the one who should appologise. If I didn't come in, this wouldn't have happened."

"I must go home. Virginia needs me." He said as he finished putting n his clothes. "Bye." he said and ran out. He took a taxi and went home.

Mary got dressed, and quickly ran to her car. she knew something was wrong with Tom. She could feel it. Wait a minute! How can she feel it if they weren't..? She didn't know how to act anymore. She knew that he was the one. Tom was her...mate. She drove to the hospital faster than ever.

Wolf was begging the driver to go faster. Tha man said that this was the fastes he could go. But Wolf kept asking for it. Finally he was there. He payed the driver and ran home. he quickly opened the door and entered.

"Virginia!"

"I'm here." she replied from the kitchen. Obviously she was cooking. He smelled it. She was OK.

He wet to the kitchen and as soon as he saw her, he ran to her and hugged her. he filled her face with kisses.

"Wolf, what is it with you?"

"Oh, my creamu puff, I thought you were in danger. So I came running. Well, I came by taxi."

"Wolf, honey, I'm alright." she held his face with her hands. "What happened to you? Why did you think I was in danger?"

Wolf didn't know if he should tell her the truth or not. He decided not to tell her. Though it was so hard for him to do so.

"I.. I was walking in the streets, and then.. I saw a shop that had rabbits in it."

"You mean a pet shop?"

"Exactly. They were so delisious!"

"Wolf you didn't eat them, did you?"

He had guilty look on his face, and Virginia understood from it that he did.

"How did you get them?" she asked.

"I didn't. the shopkeeper gave them as a present to Mary."

"You told him you knew her and he gave it to you?"

"No. When I was inside Mary came in. She was there to buy a rabbit. The shopkeeper knew who she was and gave her two rabbits. As a present. He was her fan."

"I see. And where did you eat them?"

Cripes! She was leading him to the part which he didn't want to tell. He didn't know what to say about it. so, he decided to go with the truth. Well, almost. To save his bacon.

"She offered to eat them at her backyard, if I remember the right name."

"Yeah, it's called a backyard. But why?"

"Well, we wanted to eat it in a wolfish way. To hunt them. Her backyard was big like a forest. We let the rabbits out of the cage and after a while we ran after them. We hunted them and ate them."

"I see. And why is your hair wet?"

Here it goes. The last part that made him blush.

"Well, you see.. we.. were all ...covered with blood. Yes, all covered with blood and she offered me to take a shower. And I took it."

"Did you take it alone Wolf?"

Wolf ignored the question and said:

"That's when I heard your voice calling me. I thought you were hurt."

"Apparently I'm not. But you didn't answer my question."

Cripes! What should I tell her? Abd wolf! Why did you do that?! he thought.

"Well, almost."

"ALMOST?! what do you mean with that?" that's when her ring spoke.

'She wanted to mate, so the love would fade.'

"What?" Virginia looked at her ring, then to Wolf. Angryly. but the ring continued.

'A voice was heard, and love went back to light.

That's when she knew which one was right.'

"What do you mean with that?" she asked it again.

'Wolves mate for life. As you have known.

This is her turn, for she will learn.'

Virginia looked at Wolf. She didn't know wether to yell at him, or to pack and go. He felt guilty. The ring has spoiled everything.

"Virginia. I'm sorry. But I want you to know, that nothing happened."

"I don't want to hear more. You went into shower with HER! Is that why she was always calling? Pretending to be worried about my situation?"

"Virgina, my love, I swear nothing happened!"

"You're lying to me Wolf." she turned to go out of the kitchen, but stopped. I'm going to grandma's.

"No, Virginia wait!" he called after her, but she was in their room, she locked the door, and packed her bag. She opened the door to see Wolf sitting on the ground in front of it.

"This won't help you." she said and went to the main door.

"Virginia wait, please."

"It's over Wolf. Everything is over. I don't want to see you anymore." she said and left the apartment.

Wolf howled deeply after her. He didn't know what else to do. His creamy-dreamy girl has left him, because he betrayed her.

"You filthy animal!" he shouted and hit his head with his hand. "Look what you've done! She could've bought you the rabbits too! Why did you go to that house!"

He dropped on his knees and howled again.
