Date #3


    one to Envy, unwrapping my own and eating as we walk. She shrugs and mirrors me.


    “Are we taking a car? Or a bike? Or…a balloon?” Sheughs as we exit the packhouse.


    “Actually, we’re walking today. Is that…okay?”


    Her smile fills me with warmth. “Yeah, I’d very much like that.”


    Thank fucking gods. One point for me. This is good, we’re good, I’m good.


    Yes yes, we’re a good boy. She should give me pats for being a good boy! Talen muses and I mentally roll my eyes at him.


    Not now.


    He huffs and clearly isn’t impressed with me but perks back up instantly when Envy starts asking about different buildings as we walk through the town. It’s only four blocks away until we’re at the destination.


    “So…I know that the other two had these big, dreamy dates that we’re magical and all…I just kind of wanted to show you a piece of what’s important to me. This…” I’m cut off as I wave a hand at the big building behind me.


    “ALPHA NOAHHHHHHHHHHH!” A tiny, high-pitched squeal erupts in my overly sensitive ears, but I grin when I spin around to see Macey running towards me. Macey is a four-year-old orphaned pup. Her parents died in a rogue attack not long after she was born and is one of many pups here that Ie to see at least


    once a week.


    “Hey there sweet girl!” I kneel down at snatch her up for a hug when she reaches me.


    “Alpha Noah…” She whispers in my ear, but it’s not very subtle because I know Envy can clearly hear her. “Who’s the pretty girl?!”


    “That’s my mate.” I fake whisper back. Macey’s eyes grow wide with happiness, and she bounces on my hip and pats my chest to let me know she wants to get down. Envy immediately kneels when she sees Macey getting closer to her.


    “I’m Macey!” The eager pup holds out her hand like I’ve taught her to do before.


    Envy smiles, big and wide and then scoops Macey up into her arms.


    “Hello Macey. I’m Envy. It’s a pleasure to meet you!”


    “Are you going to being to our movie night?!”


    Envy looks over at me and I nod with a sheepish smile.


    11:51 am PPP


    Date #3


    “Well it looks like it, little one.”


    “EEEEEEEPPPPP! Yayyyyyyyy!!!!!!” Macey bounces around in a circle doing a little happy dance. “BEST DAY EVER! COME ON. I’LL SHOW YOU EVERYTHING!” Macey grabs her hand as Envy stands and follows her into the house. She looks back over her shoulder to see if I’ming and I can’t help but to mirror the huge grin she’s wearing. She likes it!


    “Nanna Nia! Nanna Nia! LOOK!” Macey bursts through the front doors and rounds corner after corner until we’re in the kitchen where the elder who the kids call “Nanna Nia” is working.


    “Well who’s your friend, Macey?”


    “This is Alpha Noah’s mate!”


    “Envy.” I supply. “Envy this is Nanna Nia. She takes care of the kids most days here.”


    “Most days, expect for movie night, where Noah takes over for me.”

    “You do this every week?” Envy looks at me.


    “Yep, one full day every week. We bake sweets, do some activities, y some music…”


    Macey cuts me off again, “and a night we make this reaaaaalllllllyyyyy big fire with crackers and chocte and marshmallows and we watch a movie outside on this big sheet in the trees!!!!!!!!!”


    “That…sounds….amazing!” Envy says back excitedly.
