THE BIG DAY!

Prologue

"Wolf" Virginia called from the kitchen while cooking dinner.

"Mmm" was the only reply she got from her fiancé

"Do you enjoy living in New York" This question had been going around her head for the last couple of days. They have only been back in the 10th Kingdom for 2 weeks, but already she felt detached and she missed her dad and Wendell that were living in the 4th Kingdom. Although she spent all that time looking for the mirror so they could go home, she soon discovered that this wasn't her home any more. And that she wanted to go back to the Kingdoms where she could be with her dad and Wendell and where she could raise her wolf cub without anyone getting suspicious. But she wanted Wolf to be happy, even if that was living here.

Wolf was shocked by his loves question. He didn't know how to answer. He hated the 10th Kingdom. Although he found many things fascinating and they had a lot of useful books. It wasn't his home and he deeply missed the Kingdoms in all their glory. He desperately wanted to return but he remembered how desperate Virginia was to get the mirror to return home, he didn't want all that effort to go in vain if this is where she truly wanted to be. However he knew he couldn't lie to his mate. So he decided to dodge around the question.

"Why do you ask my sweet lamb chop?"

This was not the answer Virginia was looking for. Why did he have to make things so difficult? She knew she had to tell him the truth. He would be able to figure it out if it was a lie.

"Well, it's just that……I don't like living here no more. I miss the Kingdoms, I miss Wendell and most of all I miss my dad. I miss the adventures and well I want to go back there to live, but only if that is what you decide you want to do. You mean everything to me and I want you to be happy. This isn't just about me."

Wolf could have exploded from happiness. He was shocked that she felt this way. Why hadn't he been able to pick that up? It didn't matter his mate wanted to move back to the Kingdoms and that was all that mattered to him. He was the happiest half wolf around.

"Oh Virginia you don't know how happy that makes me. I hate it here. There are too many people. And I don't understand the technology. You can never see the moon or stars here and the air isn't fresh here. It has a tainted smell that to be honest makes my nose hurt. There is also no-where for me to run or hunt. I miss that. So I would love to go back to the Kingdoms to live. Nothing would make me happier."

"Really?" Virginia still wasn't sure even though he seemed pretty truthful. To answer her question Wolf came running into the kitchen swooped his mate into his arms and passionately kissed her before saying "When do we leave"

Virginia couldn't help but giggle, "Within a week, there are some things I need to take care of, bills, credit cards that sort of thing and then we can be out of here."

A huge grin spread across Wolf's face, he couldn't believe it he was going home within the next week. This was fantastic he started to jump around howling. But then he stopped and turned seriously to Virginia.

"What are you going to do about Mr Murray?"

Virginia hadn't thought of that. What was she going to do? Ever since her dad wished for the whole Murray family to be their slaves, they had all been round to look after Wolf and Virginia and to see when their master would be returning. This would be difficult.

"I will just say that we are leaving and don't know when we will be returning and that we don't know when dad will be returning either. There is nothing else I can do."

Wolf just beamed at his soon to be wife. He couldn't wait to go home. To be able to run freely through the forest. He was so excited and had a lot of energy. A smirk crept across his face as he had an idea came to him of how to celebrate their new plan.

"So what do you want to do tonight honey, I have some lamb for dinner and a bottle of wine we could stick a video on" Virginia said as she turned back to prepare cooking dinner.

"I have a better idea, 1…..2……3…….4…….5…….6……"

It only took Virginia to the count of 3 to realise what Wolf was up to before she ran in the direction of the bedroom closely followed by Wolf who was already ripping his shirt of.
