Since | don’t have training when | get home, | decide to take sextra tand get ready for tonight. | take a

long soak in my tub, using the scents that Rik gotas one of my gifts. I light the candles and when I'm done, |

rub the vanilla lotion into my skin. | take stblow drying my hair into big thick curls and | put a bit of

make up on. Not too much, | don’t want it to be too obvious that I'm making an effort.

| put on an olive colored long-sleeve sweater dress with a cowl next and black leggings before adding brown

knee-high faux suede boots.

Last night when | had my idea to invite Rik for dinner, | had planned out my side dishes to go with our steaks.

Since dad always grills steaks on Thursday, | decided to add struffle butter to melt on top when they first

coff the grill. Dad had gone to the store today and gotten everything on my list, which included what |

needed to make lobster mac and cheese and a wedge salad. It's not

When dad rolls into the kitchen, he stops in his tracks. “Cara?”

| turn to look at him, ignoring his questioning stare. “Thanks for getting the lobster and truffle butter dad.”

“Cara? Why are you so dressed up?”

| could pretend | didn’t know what he’s talking about, but I'm still a terrible liar. ” I invited Alpha Rik to join us for

dinner tonight. Apparently, he has been asking his father to join him at these dinners for years but Anders would

never let him come. Supposedly this is ‘your time.” | make air quotes when | say your time.

“Is that why we're having a fancy dinner tonight?” He asks.

“Well, it’s his first teating dinner here.”

Dad interrupts me. “And you're first tinviting a man to cover for dinner.” z

“He saved my life dad.”

“Uh-huh. Is that the story you're going with Cara?”

“Don’t you have ssteaks to be prepping or something?” I try to change the subject.

A knock cat the door. | sucked in a breath and looked at my dad. “I'll get it.”

| walked to the door and brushed my hands down my dress. Why am | so nervous? | opened the door, a smile

plastered on my face.

| just smile and point to the kitchen. “Dad’s just getting the steaks out. If you hurry, you might be able to help

with something.” He laughs and moves toward the kitchen. I close the door and lean against it. | feel like my

nerves are already shot.

| walk back toward the kitchen, and | hear Anders asking dad about our lobster mac and cheese. “Did | do

something amazing to deserve such treatment?” He asks, just as | hear another knock at the door.

Anders head whips up and his brows furrow. He must be able to smell Rik’s scent at the door. “I'll get it.” | say

and turn on my heel heading back to the door.

When | open the door, Rik is standing there, holding a bouquet of roses, a smile on his face. “Hey beautiful.

These are for you.” He says, and handsthe flowers.

| take the flowers and step out of the way. “Red this time.” | say.

He walks up to me, kissing my cheek, “Mmhmm, red has a different meaning than white.” He looks atand for

a moment and | forget how to breathe. “Son? What are you doing here?”
