Chapter 34
“Lady, we don’t know each other and don’t owe each other anything…” Lavana was interrupted by the woman.
“Yes, we do. We know each other. We recognize that we are werewolves. I owe you for splashing water on you guys, and you owe me an explanation.”
“Nonsense logic.” Lavana put Beatrix down.
“If you don’t leave this instant…”
GRRR! GRRR!
Her stomach was making its needs known, not minding the situation at hand.
It made her embarrassed but she still had to put up a bold front.
“I happen to have some biscuits here.” the lady took out some biscuits from a small container and ate one.
She extended one to Beatrix.
“No, I must not be tempted. I must not fall for her trick.” she repeated in her head but her stomach and hand were too honest.
Before she knew it, the biscuit was already in her mouth.
“Beatrix!” Lavana chided. How could she just accept snacks from strangers? This lady here was no ordinary stranger but a werewolf, alright!
“We can’t escape that far with empty stomachs. Besides, she’ll catch up with us in no time.” Beatrix said in defense of her actions.
“You…” Lavana was rendered speechless.
“Let me treat you guys to a meal. What do you think?” the lady asked.
“You promise to let us go after that?” Beatrix asked as she collected another biscuit from the lady.
“Well, I could find a good apartment for you guys or you can come stay at our pack. It’s small but we are all family.
“Family… Beatrix, let’s go.” Lavana took Beatrix’s hand.
“Don’t go. If you don’t want to stay in our pack, I can at least get you guys somewhere to live.” the lady looked troubled.
“And what in the world makes you think we are homeless?” Lavana retorted with arms folded.
“Can you guys stop this fight? Big sis, this is practically free food. We don’t need to try the dine and dash method anymore. I’m Beatrix and this is my big sis, Lavana.”
“Oh? I’m Magnolia Hernandez of Blood Star pack. Nice to meet you.” she extended her hand to them.
Beatrix shook the hand with both hands.
“Same for me and big sis. So where is the place to eat? I’m dying here.” Beatrix said in a loud voice.
“I was going there, anyway. Let’s go together. Please?” she winked at Lavana who eventually gave in.
“Alright. But if you try anything funny, I’ll deal with you.” Lavana warned.
“You have my word, hun. Let’s go, shall we?” Magnolia pointed backwards.
Lavana nodded with her belly grumbling.
“Have one. It’s delicious.” Magnolia gave two biscuits to her.
“Thanks.” Lavana said as she put one in her mouth.
Her eyes widened in awe.
“Isht sho guud.” she said, quickly putting the 2nd one in her mouth and licking her hand.
“Let’s hurry. I’m afraid my stomach is empty too.”
Lavana squatted and Beatrix got on her back.
She looked at Magnolia and they both nodded before racing back to where they had come.
When they got closer to the car, they greatly reduced their speed so that others could see them.
Arriving at where the car was, Magnolia took out her car key from her other gown pocket.
She pressed a button and opened the back passenger door for them.
“Thank you,” Lavana said as she let Beatrix enter first before her.
Magnolia then closed the door and walked over to the driver’s side and then opened the door.
She got in and looked at the two, who were admiring how beautiful the car was.
“It’s been over a decade since I got in a car,” Lavana mumbled.
“Well, you are in one now and may be in one as often as you want,” Magnolia said.
Lavana didn’t reply.
Magnolia fastened her seat belt and encourage the two to do the same.
Lavana had a bit of an issue with doing this, so Beatrix helped her out.
“So we’re all set?” Magnolia asked.
“Yep. To the food!” said Beatrix, causing Magnolia to laugh.
*******
Yum Yum planet.
This is a top-notch restaurant. It took the trio 19 minutes to arrive here.
Now that they were in and already seated, a waiter came to them with the menu and Magnolia ordered the dishes she wanted, then she gave the menu over to Lavana. She saw the words but couldn’t make any sense of them, so instead of stressing herself further, she just gave it to the little one.
“Well, we’ll have this and this and this.” Beatrix pointed at the dishes and the waiter wrote them on the small notebook.
“Is that all?” he asked.
“Yeah.” said Magnolia.
The waiter took back the menu and walked away briskly.
“So, you can just call me Maggie for short.”
“Rix.” said Beatrix.
“Okay. I’ll call you Rix for short. How about you?” she looked at Lavana.
“Lava.” she said.
“Okay. Rix, Lava. So where are you guys from and where are you going before I met you two?”
“Er… we had nowhere to go. We were just…”
Lavana quickly covered Beatrix’s mouth with her hand.
“She’s just a kid.”
Beatrix put down Lavana’s hand.
“I’m a little lady.” she protested.
“How about this? I’m 23. How old are you two?” Magnolia asked.
“19 and she’s 5.” Lavana replied for both of them.
“Okay.” Magnolia nodded. “So after we’re done eating, you guys can pay.”
“Eh? What do you mean?” Beatrix stood up from her seat.
“You know we clearly can’t afford…”
“Shh. Sit down, little sis.” Lavana signalled her to sit and she reluctantly did so.This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.
This lady wanted them who had no coin on them to pay? This is a top-notch place. Them two were the only ones who looked like street rats. The rest had cars and walked in wearing lavish clothes and accessories. Here they didn’t have any money…
“What do you want?” Lavana asked.
If it comes to worst, she’d just burn this lady to death. She’s killed 3 f*cking vampires, alright. Magnolia will not even be number 5 on her kill list if she were to add the deceased teens from Ralton pack.
“Hey girl. Calm down. I know you must have this backstory that you don’t wish to share with me. That’s fine. I could give you guys a really nice apartment and the material things you desire, as long as it’s within my power. But what about other wolves attacking you. Forget about rogue wolves. Since you are packless, then you may face the chance of becoming a rogue yourself. What about your little sister? Would she…”
“Stop. Just stop it, Maggie. If eating this meal and letting you pay for it means that my sister and I would have to sacrifice our freedom, then no way.” said Lavana.
“I was just joking earlier about you guys paying for the food. I…”
“Your orders are here.” the waiter had come back carrying two trays filled with food. Another waiter also came with him carrying two trays.
The first waiter gently put the food down from the four trays, arranging them in an appetizing manner.
Beatrix could barely hold back her drool at the sight of this delicious food.
But she couldn’t eat this time without Lavana allowing her.
“Just eat, Beatrix. The ones on our side are all yours.”
“Eh?” Beatrix’s eyes widened.
Her big sis said she wasn’t hungry? At this moment, Lavana’s stomach chose to grumble again, announcing that it had nothing left to tap into.
“Big sis…” she tugged on Lavana’s skirt.
“I already said you should eat.”
“Lava, you don’t always have to be like this. You see…” Magnolia got interrupted.
“How about I satisfy my stomach first?” she said while putting a spoonful of the food in her mouth.
Her eyes widened in amazement.
Magnolia sighed and prepared to eat her food.
Maybe it was better they take it slow for now. This Omega’s past must have been really tragic, such that she’d closed her heart to any so-called help. To open her heart would not be easy.
She glanced at Beatrix who was happily eating her food, humming an unknown tune.
“Maybe she might be the key?” Magnolia thought.
