AFTER ONE WEEK
AT JAKE'S POW:
Dad keeps making me annoyed. he still wants me to find a Luna. I do not care about it. How, he can not understand that I do not want a mate? I am good at being alone.
-Son. I know that you think mate is a useless thing. Still, without her, you are not going to have your family.-Dad, said, and frowned.
-Dad, females are weak, and I do not want to be like that, and unable to protect my pack for a weakling mate.-I said.
It's worst, knowing that my mate is human. It's the worst situation ever.
-Well, you can mate not with the Moon Godness chosen one, but I am sure that later you would regret your decision.-Dad said.
-What do you mean?-I asked him.
-I also a long time ago thought that your mom weak woman and almost mated to another girl. After some time, I realized my mistake. Your mom was one of the strongest females I ever met.-Dad said and sighed.
-You telling me that she might look weak, but she is not that weak at all?-I asked him.
-That is what I am trying to tell you, son.-Dad said and sighed.
I sighed and sat down on the chair. Maybe I should ask dad, what does he know about humans after all.
-Dad, do you know something about 'Humans'?-I asked him.
I saw how his facial reaction changed for a moment. He knows something for sure.
-I know that they live in another world than us and that their life items are much more advanced than ours. I also heard that the full moon opens a portal to their world. I heard that one of our ancestors went there and bought back things that made our pack stronger than our neighboors.-Dad said, and I looked at him surprised.
I always have thought that humans are useless, but appears, that they are quite smart. Maybe I could get some useful information from her.
-Why you never mentioned to me this before, dad?-I asked him, quite confused.
- Humans never come to this world, so I saw no need to talk about it.-Dad said and left.
-Looks like our mate is better than you thought before.-My wolf said and grinned.
-For once you are right.-I said and smiled.
-I am glad that our mate is better than you have thought. Maybe now you see some use in her.-My wolf said.
-I think I will. I will ask Eva about the human world, and then I will make our pack people's life even better.-I said and grinned.
AT THE SAME TIME
AT EVA'S POW:
I keep working inside the kitchen. I know that I have to work here, and for some reason, the cook started to act a little bit nicer to me. I wonder why he acts like that.
-What is your name?-Cook asked me.
-My name is Eva, sir.-I said.
-Alright. I noticed that you are good in the kitchen.-Cook said.
-I am glad that you like my work.-I said to him and smiled.
I saw how the cook smiled and pointed to me to sit on the chair. I sat down and looked at him confused.
-King is making his son find a wife. In one week there will be a ball and all rich females from different packs will come here. That means we will need to cook a lot of different dishes to impress everyone.-Cook said and smiled.
-I understand that.-I said.
-I know that you are not from this world. That must mean you know a lot of different desserts that we could use.-Cook said and smirked.
-I do know some of the deserts. If I am going to cook it, everyone going to find out that I am a human.-I said, and the cook frowned.
-If we make them look like that they are made here. Or we can just put a small twist on them.-Cook said.
I think the cook is smart to ask me for help, he understands desserts can help make everything better. I opened a bakery in my world, which means I know what I am doing.
-I can help you, but we will need to try all the recipes to find which one fits the situation.-I said, and the cook nodded.
-If you help me, I will make sure that you will get better leftovers to your kitchen. I like it when you are helping me.-Cook said and smiled.
-That does sound like a good deal. If you be able to get me some ingredients, I can make one of the deserts today.-I said, and the cook nodded.
-Say ingredients that you will need, Eva. -Cook said and smiled.
I thought a bit and said a small list of the ingredients. It was a simple chocolate dessert, but If you do not have the needed skills, it can become a huge mess.
-I will get it. Those are simple ingredients, to be honest.-Cook said and, I smiled.
-I agree, but I am sure that you will like the end result.-I said and smiled.
-Now we need to finish pack food, or the prince will get mad at us.-Cook said, and I smiled.
-Of course, Chef.-I said and smiled.
We both started working, and I did what the cook asked like usual. After everyone ate and I finished cleaning dishes both of us went to my part of the kitchen. I saw his facial reaction and smiled. He apparently did not think to see that old kitchen clean.
-You did a good job here.-Cook said and smiled.
-Thank you.-I said and smiled.
I took out my recipe and sat on the chair close to the cook. It's time to make this dessert.
***Authors pow: It's real life recipe that I am using in a real life***
you will need:
*soft butter, to butter ceramic bake forms and a bit of white sugar to cover the same forms
*1/2 of cup chocolate chips or chopped chocolate peace ( I like using dark chocolate about 200 grams or depending on your taste)
*100 grams of unsalted butter
*2 eggs
*1/2 teaspoon of salt
*50 grams of sugar (you can put more if you use bitter chocolate)
*5 tablespoons or less of flour
How to make: Melt chocolate chips or chocolate pieces in the microwave with butter. Whip up eggs with sugar and salt, until it gets pale yellow color. Into mixture, mix melted chocolate. Then put flour and mix it well. Pour batter into ceramic or metal forms and bake at 450 Fahrenheit for 220 Celsius for 8-12 mins. You know when it's done baking when outside walls are hard and inside is a bit runny. Flip fresh-baked ones on a plate and decorate with ice cream.
**End of the recipe**
I started to make it and cook helped me to did most of the work. After one hour desert was ready to eat, and I served one plate to the cook. I saw how he tried and looked at me surprised.
-That taste delicious, Eva.-Cook said and smiled.
-I am happy that you like it.-I said and smiled.
-It's for sure one of the desserts we will make that day.-Cook said.
- I am glad. We still have a lot of food to think off.-I said.
-I will think of something good too.-Cook said and left the kitchen.
I started to clean the kitchen and did not notice that someone is watching me. I finished cleaning, placed dessert in the fridge, and left to my room. After a short shower, I fell asleep on the bed.
ONE HOUR BEFORE
AT JAKE'S POW:
I was doing my work and I started to feel a slight pain in my chest. I felt that my wolf is feeling the same thing.
-What is going on?-I asked him.
-A male wolf is close to our mate.-My wolf said.
-What do you mean by the 'male wolf'?-I asked him.
-I mean that your mate is talking to another male. Since she is our mate you can feel bond and pain because of it.-My wolf said.
-I understand.-I said and walked to Eva's side.
I never thought that I can feel pain, even when I did not mark her. Father made me go to the ball to choose the bride, and I am hoping to find my second choice mate there. I walked close to Eva's kitchen and saw our pack cook standing close to her. I saw how he kept smiling towards her and I could feel my wolf getting angry. I watched how they made something.
-That dessert smells so good.-My wolf said.
- I know. I can smell chocolate.-I said.
I watched how both of them ate one plate of dessert and I hid before the cook noticed me. I do not want him to think that I am stalking her or something like that.
-But you are doing it.-My wolf said.
-I am not doing it.-I said and frowned.
I watched how she left her room and closed the door. I opened the fridge and took one of the dessert plates. I tired a bit and closed my eyes a bit. I never ate something delicious like that before. I finished the food placed the plate in the sink and left the kitchen. I admit, my 'mate' is good at cooking.
AT THE SAME TIME
AT EVA'S POW:
I was about to sleep when I heard someone walking inside the kitchen. I heard how someone opened the fridge and took one of the dessert plates. I am sure that is not Alya. Someone is stealing my desserts again. Does it that hard to ask. I swear I will find this person and teach him a lesson. I hate when someone steals the food I am making. I frowned and fell asleep on the bed. I will think about it another day.
