2 DAYS LATER

Aurah was still asleep when her cell phone began to rang instantly. She arose from the bed in slow motion and put on her slippers. She took the phone out of the drawer and yawned before she hit the answer button.

"Good morning, my baby girl," a sweet voice talked.

"Hey mama!" Aurah yawned once more. "Did you see me in your night mare?"

Angelina laughed. "Ha ha! I knew that you were asleep but I had to call this early because I'm going to Montreal today for an art exhibition."

"Oh, Montreal!" Aurah heaved a sigh. "I love that city. I wish I were there."

Angelina curled a lip. "Well, you could have been… But, you chose to lead a rural life, so…"

"Mom, please don't talk like that."

"I just feel sad for you. You're going to miss all the art exhibitions, movie premiers and New York Fashion Weeks… Oh, you do love fashion weeks."

"Don't feel sad for me, mom. I'm so happy," Aurah sincerely said.

Okay, if you say so," Angelina muttered. "Hey! Did you check out the website of Princeton University?"

"I've already made my application for on-line education."

"Good. I'm sure you're gonna be accepted. I mean, even Yale welcomed you – but you turned down. Why not Princeton?"

"Mom, enough! I'm so happy right now. Don't try to ruin it. Besides I have a long life to live and to work and to study. Why is the rush?"

"Do as you please," Angelina mildly said. "You know I'll support you, no matter what."

"I know, mama." Aurah smiled. She put a small tea bag into the kettle as she spoke. "At least just to be polite, aren't you gonna ask how Ben is?"

"Who is Ben?"

"Oh!"

"Uhh, yeah, your British lover… So...uh...How is he?"

"He's fine, so considerate and sweet. Thanks for asking."

"He is not touching you, is he?"

"No!" Aurah creaked her teeth. "As I've said a hundred times before, we sleep in different rooms and he's being so careful about not making any sexual overtures towards me."

"I'm glad to hear that," Angelina listlessly said. "I must hang up cause I've got to go pack my bags now."

"Okay. Say 'hi' to grandpa from me. Love you both."

"Love you, too. Bye."

After she hung up, Aurah poured the tea in her cup and went to living room to watch the morning news.

BEN'S OFFICE

Ben was at work, relieved to be finishing the two days work earlier for the Pacific Northwest Nation Laboratory.

The Office boy stopped by his office to deliver some new folders. While he was putting them on the desk, his eyes caught the sight of a small picture in a shiny gray frame.

"Wow, who is this chico?" He asked with a winsome Mexican accent.

Ben raised his head from his computer and gave him a sharp look. The boy immediately dropped his gaze.

"She's my girlfriend." There were happiness and pride in his voice.

The boy's eyes smoldered. "You've got a girlfriend?" He started grinning.

"What are you grinning at?"

The boy shook his head to stop grinning. "It is great… No. It's a miracle that there is one of a female kind, who thinks you're loveable, on earth."

Ben grabbed an empty folder and threw it to the boy quizzically. "Get out, Rodriquez!"

"Don't forget to lock all the doors before she ran from you, amigo!"

"I said get out!" Ben yelled.

The boy walked away, laughing. Two minutes later, one of Ben's co-workers, Darryl, came in. He was not only Adam's second in the pack, but also the man who got Ben in this job.

Ben didn't stood up but he sat up a little bit when he saw him walk into the door. Darryl was not very talkative and he passed greeting part and labored the point as usual:

"Pacific International Bank asked us to hook up an X-dot connection to their European subsidiary. They wanted to interface with standard European protocol that you're familiar with. Can you set them up?"

Ben smiled smugly. "Consider it done."

"Good." Just when he was about to go, he turned towards Ben again. "You were absent at the hunt yesterday. Where were you?"

"I took Aurah to the mall."

"Hmm, I see. Jeremy joked about you all evening long."

"Ahhh, that little bastard just likes bugging me. Do you know what he calls me? 'Vampire lover'! Either you pipe him down or I will!"

A thin smile yanked the corners of Darryl's mouth. "I'll take care of him."

"Thanks," Ben formally said. "See you tomorrow."

BEN'S APARTMENT

Aurah went through the pages of the home magazines. She was thinking of something for the apartment... Maybe a new couch, or a cool dinner table, or just an art painting…

Angelina must have been on her way to Montreal by now, she thought. They used to go to those art exhibitions together. Sometimes Richard joined them. Those were the most enjoyable short vacations she had.

She turned on her mini notebook aimlessly. When she checked her mail box, she saw a new e-mail from her friend Clarissa who had been in France for a few weeks and now was trying to contact Aurah. Aurah wrote her new mobile number and sent it. Only two minutes afterwards, her cell phone started ringing.

"Hello?"

"Hey! It's me, Clarissa."

"Hi! I was thinking of giving you a call. It's been ages since I last heard from you. Did you make it back from France?"

"Yes, we just came back to New York yesterday. And you're absent! What did you do? I called your house and Dr. Castle said you had moved to Tri-Cities!"

"That's right. I'm a permanent resident of Tri-Cities now," Aurah said, laughing.

"Fortunately, I remembered that you'd given me the phone number to your father's house. I phoned there. A woman answered the phone and she said you didn't live there anymore!"

"Yeah, she's my father's fiancée." Aurah rolled her eyes.

"Your father's fiancé? Gosh! Is he getting married? So where do you live now? You live on your own?"

"No…" Aurah bit her lip, grinning.

"Oh My effing God! Whom do you live with? With that cute blond you were talking about?"

"Yes." Aurah smiled. "He's my mate now. I moved to his apartment last week."

"Mate? Dude, you sound like a speaker from Discovery Channel. What is that supposed to mean?"

"All right, hold on! He's a werewolf."

"What the fuck? Have you gone crazy? Remember what our school counselor said; Werewolves are dangerous!"

"They're not as bad-ass as they look… and not necessarily dangerous. Even Angelina gave me a little credit after they met."

"I can't believe this! What is so special about him?"

"He's so real… I just… I see through him. I didn't think I believed in love until I met Ben. He's not like any other boy I've ever known. Besides, I'm not going to lose my identity with him because he's not some overpowering, super-dominant werewolf. He's like… uh… Richard! Except he is a bit foul-mouthed." Aurah tittered.

"Cool… I mean wow! Virgin Maria has a mate! That's unbelievable! Are you letting him hold your hand?" Clarissa laughed silently.

"Are you kidding me?" Aurah smugly replied. "I said I live with him."

"Uuh, girl! Tell me everything! Did he get into your box?"

"What?"

Clarissa sighed. "Did you sleep with or not?"

"No." Aurah bit her lip. "Not yet."

"Why not?"

"Angelina rule!"

"Oh, I see," Clarissa tittered. "It's incredible that she even let you move in with your werewolf boyfriend in the first place."

"I know. But I would have moved in with him anyway even if the whole world had come against with me."
