After last night, waking up was hard. I headed downstairs after my shower to make breakfast. Surprisingly I found a note by the fridge saying Buenos Días Novia...!no necesitar a hacer desayuno. Eso será ser manejado. ~Luca.

*Morning girlfriend. No need to make breakfast. That will be handled*

I knew about their plan to make me think that he was my mate but if I were to believe it, I would've get into deep trouble.

I tossed the note in the bin and started to make breakfast, and as much as I wished I had followed Luca's command. I just couldn't risk it.

That day Luca had literally snapped when he found out that I made breakfast, it made me a bit suspicious of them. The whole joking thing was fun when it lasted but now it was just weird.

Luckily that day I was given the day off... I usually got it once a month but it was the second one apart from last week Sunday's rest day.

At 12:00 I decided to go with Nicky to Paolo Dona's ice cream shop, with Roman's coupon.

"So did enjoy the party?" She asked stuffing her mouth with the Sundae she'd ordered.

"If you mean cleaning, cooking and cleaning again. Then yeah I did enjoy it. Although thanks for y'alls help." I drawled taking a bite of my multiple chocolate ice-cream

"Sorry and your welcome. But anyway how was your morning and evening?" She asked

"Uhm, yeah yesterday I received a very weird gift. I got to my room found a bouquet of flowers, chocolates and a dress with some heels-"

"How is that weird?" She cut in.

"Well you didn't let me finish. So I thought they were from my parents but the letter left with the gifts. It seemed a bit too romantic for my parents to write, it was a poem and something about me supposed to be meeting." I explained handing her the letter.

She skimmdd through it and replied: "well, you're right there it can't be your parents. But with this love poem I am pretty sure it's your mate!"

"Maybe, but don't you think I would've met him yesterday if it were?" Throwing her a curious look

"Maybe, maybe not but when you go see him or her, you must wear the clothes they bought you" she advised.

"Yeah. And I'm pretty positive it has to be a guy. I don't roll that way" I replied dryly

" Plus, the L&N trees are where Nicholas asked Lucia to go for him to reveal himself as her mate, no one has used that place in 32 years because...-usually mates meet at the same time. So if your mate knew you on his birthday he just didn't want to tell you but he waits till your birthday so that he can surprise you" I finished the last part with her.

"So maybe the person that has been treating you kindly for the last 2 weeks before your birthday is your mate" she squealed.

"Yeah but, there's a huge but Luca's birthday was 5 months ago, you can't tell me he waited that long to tell me and plus my brother said that they were just teasing me about it, just to see if I was head over heels for him like all the other mateless girls" I said.

But hearing myself say that broke my heart a little. I wanted him to be my mate, even after the way he had treated me.

Maybe I need to see a doctor. Why in the world would I want him as a mate. Something is happening to me, I should check if Nicky ain't using her powers on me.

Nicky's power were to make a person feel like they are in love with someone that they hate or distrust.

It's a cool power and it helps a lot. Last year she was able to make a guy who was from a rival pack 'fall in love' with her. Then she used it on the Alpha and some people around, till they got a chance to attack. She is kinda cool, if I have to admit.

*****

After eating a bit, I headed upstairs to take a shower. I did as Nicky said I wore the clothes that he bought me.

When I was about 2 meters away from the tree I saw a dark figure in between the trees.

Mate mate mate!!!!

My wolf Matilda squealed. I started to move a bit faster. Once I saw who my mate was my heart dropped.

I saw Liliana walking towards me wearing the dress I bought her.

I had prepared all her favorite desserts. Everything chocolate, chocolate cake stuffed with chocolate fudge, with chocolate icing covered with chocolate sprinkles and chocolate shavings. Chocolate covered strawberries, chocolate fudge brownies, chocolate slabs, chocolate cookies, chocolate cookies with chocolate chips, chocolate smoothies and some water since this was a lot of sweets.

I had dug some info out of Marco since they are twins and they like the same things.

I wondered how she felt about me, knowing that destiny is never wrong, I hoped that she at least tries to see past the last 2 to 4 years.

How I had never seen this just makes me sick. Her beautiful blue eyes, brown silky hair I just wished I can run my fingers through, and those full lips, I wonder how many moans could escape those lips after every night and day.

To think I used to treat her like a perra just makes me disgusted by myself.

Once she arrived I searched her face for any emotions. Her eyes were confusing me they read love, desire, distrust, hatred, confusion and fearfulness.

I took a step forward and she took one back. So I decided to stop on the spot.

"Hey thanks for coming, take a seat" I said gesturing to the blanket on the grass.

She took a seat and started to fiddle with her hair, so I decided to make small talk.

"I got you your favorite kinds of desserts. Everything chocolate" I smiled taking out the chocolate milkshakes handing one to her.

She took it and smiled back "thanks" she whispered.

Luna her voice sounded like an angel's.

I placeed mine to the side. "How did you know chocolate is my favorite?" She asked taking a sip of her milkshake.

"Well I dug some info out of Marco and since y'all are twins I thought maybe you will like the same plus it's all you wanted to eat since we were kids" I replied taking out the rest of the desserts.

"Well, thank you. It's delicious and you can't blame me." she joked in a small voice offering me a smile.

Damn it was so awkward, I was not used to tha, usually I just sweet talked girls then broke their hearts.

But it ain't so easy when I treated her like a perra all those years. It wasn't like that before, we were actually best friends but after the incident things just changed.

"Okay look, Liliana, I am sorry about the way I have treated you for the last 4 years. It's just that after the accident I couldn't handle losing my mother, and I took out all my anger on you. Watching you suffer just brought comfort to me. It wasn't all your fault, I mean even if I was you I wouldn't have known what to do at that time. I am sorry. And if you wanna reject me it's fine I deserve it anyway. I just hope you can forgive me" I rambles trying to at least try to move past the awkwardness

"No, it's OK, I forgave you a long time ago. I mean it was my fault anyway, I could've tried to help her in any way. But what I don't understand is why you didn't reject me, I mean I was the reason for your mother's death. You should hate me till I die. I do deserve to suffer and I don't blame you. Anyway I can handle the rejection since I could do so from the last four years." She saod taking a slice from the cake.

Stress eater, it was her habit...or still is.

"You know what, let's change the topic. So did you enjoy the chocolates?" I asked.

I know it's stupid but what else could I say when I couldn't ask her about her day when I've tortured her for the last four years.

"Uhm yeah" she lies licking her lips right after.

"You're lying" I said stating the obvious

"And how do you know that Mr Obvious?" She joked, I could tell she is trying to lighten the mood.

"Well, you lick your lips when you lie and you get a high pitch voice. Plus you can never get away with lying to me. Remember when we were 5 and I asked you who ate my chocolate? You did the same thing you were doing now, and you had the brown teeth to prove it." I reminisced adding a chuckle

"Well, I told you I would get you back from taking my barbie and ripping it's head off. Plus it's annoying how y'all know when I lie." She smiled.

She always got so defensive when she knew that we knew that she was lying.

I let out a laugh.

"Fine. Any who are you enjoying the cake? That is like your third slice. How can you eat so much sweets and not get sick, let alone not get tired of it?" I asked

She smiled showing her brown teeth due to the chocolate fudge inside.

"Well, chocolate is delicious, I live on water so I hardly get anything sweet, and once I get sweets I take advantage of it since I don't know when I will get it again." Stuffing her mouth with a cookie.

She reminded me of when we were kids. I used to get her chocolate all the time since I had a crush on her, but time came and I liked her like a sister. Until that changed once again of course.

"Fine, but at least have some water and save some cake for me" she was halfway finished with everything.

"Well like I say never leave a solider behind, and hurry up before I finish everything. You know I don't play when it comes to sweets" she said offering me a smile

She looked in the basket and took out the bottle of water

I took a slice of the cake and the chocolate brownie.

Once she drank her water we sat in silence, but a comfortable kind of silence.

"Hey, uhm you wanna go for a walk?" I asked standing up and offering her my hand.

She took it nodding, "The sunset is beautiful, I hardly get to see it. Either I am cleaning or cooking." She said in a low voice.

"Yeah" I replied in a whisper, distracted. I turned her around, intertwined our hands and looked into her eyes.

"Look Lili I am sorry about that, believe me when I say I am sorry and that I like you. If I didn't-" she cut me off by placing her finger on my mouth

"I believe you and I am the one who is supposed to be sorry. I like you too" she looked down trying to hide her face.

I lifted her chin to make her look at me. I started to lean in and she did the same. Before our lips could touch the sprinklers went off we pulled away.

She started to twirl around in the droplets and began to chuckle.

"Remember when we used to do this every day before summer holidays?" She screamed over the sprinklers

She reminded me of us when we were younger, we would play in the water till we got all wrinkly.

She grabbed my hand and twirled me with her. I twirled her in to my hands then grabbed her and kissed her.

This time she kissed me back, she places her hand around my neck and began to play with my hair.

I took it was a chance to deepen the kiss and Godess she tastes like strawberries.

She did the same and explored my mouth with her tongue, a painful groan escapes my throat then we pulled back to catch our breaths.

She stood by my side and we headed towards the pack house hand in hand.

It was late 10 so everyone was probably asleep. I accompanied her to her 'room'. Only then that I saw how it looked you wouldn't actually call it a room if it only has a bed with a closet including a drawer.

I wondered how she had survived 4 years her. She is a survivor.

I kissed her temple and wished her a good night.

As soon as the door closes I jumped on my bed and my muffles my screams with a pillow.

I never knew there was such a romantic side to Luca. I didn't think he would even remember anything from our childhood, especially if it included me.

Before I could change into my pajamas I saw anothet note on my bed.

Por mi

An angel from heaven

Mad, crazy and absolutely insane are the times spent with you

Sweet, innocent and strong is the love I fell into without a clue

Girl you bring magic into my life more magic than I can even imagine

It is you my love, who has set in my life the red carpet of celebration

I wish I could only show you how thankful I am to you mi amore

You are the most beautiful angel from heaven above.

~

Not to mention a poet, he didn't seem like the type to write poems or even tell his friends about it.

I changed into my pajamas and slepr with the paper folded under my pillow.
