The In-Law

It should have been fun to meet and greet your family to be yet giving

out an unwanted gesture in your way was enough to know that your in-

law isn't even fun at all.

"So you're engaged" his hand was in his pocket his eyes never left hers.

She already told them, just him and Carla as Cam already knew about

her engagement. They continue to chat more catching up for the last 2

years life update. Suddenly Carla has to use the restroom while

Cameron was upstairs tugging Clyde into bed.

Cameron was right when he says the Dante she knew before no longer

there. He was all changed he looks tired and restless. On top of that, he

seems to be cold as if the darkness has won him over completely. Her

wolf starts to whimper at his side scolding her that their mate is still

hurt.

She ignores her wolf while holding his gaze "yeah and you?" he rubs

the back of his head "guess we both are.”

She couldn't tell whether he was nervous or not.

"Yeah, I guess we are” she repeated his words.

"Is he treating you well?" Daniella furrows her brow "much better than

someone I know of" she defensively retorted.

He smiles at her response "I was just asking” he raises up his hand in

defense. "Whatever, I guess everything has changed except for your

jerk like attitude” she mumbles as she walks past him. Dante held her

hand back igniting the sparks between them.

Daniella felt her breath hitch, she seriously wants to turn around forget

everything and pounce on him. She saw his eyes constantly changing as

if his wolf was about to come out.

"Dante" Carla came from the bathroom and Daniella wonders what

took her so long. Dante immediately let go of her hand and both of

them trying to calm down.

"Hey I'm sorry but can we go home now" she held on to his elbow

"what's wrong?" he pulls her close kissing her on the lips as if Daniella

wasn't even there.

"Something came up at home, Allen needs me to be home now"

"can't it wait" she giggles in his arms. "Nope but we'll have ours during

the ride back” this made Daniella cough out loudly sounded more like a

growl.

"We're sorry for our behaviour but can you please let Cameron know

that we're leaving. I'm really sorry but it's urgent at home"

"it's alright I'll let him know then" she half-smile hiding a little bit of

rage that starts to boil within her from what she just witness. She bid

their guest goodbye before going up upstairs to check on Cameron

and Clyde who already fell asleep on the bed. She pulls up a blanket to

cover them both then turn off the lights.

Daniella changes into her pajamas before jumping on her bed. She felt

like she's been watching again, the same feeling she got the night when

she was fire from her first job. As much as she wanted to confirm her

anxiety but her eyes were too hard to be open again, drifting her off to

sleep.

The loud ringtone of her phone awakens her, lazily she grabs it from

the nightstand and answers it.

"Hello" she yawns "Daniella" the annoying voice made her want up to

throw her phone how could she forget her voice. The great aunt of Kiev

or should she say the evil aunt in law. "I want you to meet me at

Charlie's Pastry,” she rushed her words without giving any chance to

Daniella to speak or see if she was available or not.

"Don't wear heels as we have a lot to do today and don't forget to be

here on time. I'll be waiting” she ended in a high note as if she's singing

a song. Daniella threw her phone across when Evelyn cut off the line.

“How rude’ she quickly took a shower and change then head down to

find Cameron, Judy and Clyde.

She skips over kissing Clyde on the forehead "Morning" she beams.

"Morning" both Cameron and Judy reply to her. She borrowed

Cameron's car keys and explained where she was going and Cameron's

face was enough to know that he was still disappointed with her

decisions. Then she heads out to meet the evil aunt in law who was

probably dissing her at the pastry.

"Finally you arrived, it almost took you forever"

"well I'm here now"

Evelyn rolls her eyes before going around inside the pastry pointing

from here to there as if she owns it.

Daniella saw the looks on the employees’ faces eyeing her skeptically

and she tries to avoid it following Evelyn who tastes the cake sample

and had that gross look on her face then she snaps her finger to

another one.

The whole week with her was tortuous and she only sees little of Kiev

around. It's like she was going to marry his aunty instead of him. The

attitude his aunty has was nerve-wracking and Daniella tries to be

patient even though Hani her wolf almost on the brink of breaking her

bones.

When everything was settled and organised she was finally going to get

a good sleep on her bed. Yet when she thought of Evelyn telling her

that the invitation went out today she groans with frustration even

more. Then suddenly she remembered she has to talk to Dante before

the invitation got there.

She abruptly jumps up from her bed biting on her nails contemplating

whether to call him or not. When she was sure she runs to ask Cameron

for his number before dialing it down.

He answers after one ringtone "Alpha Dante speaking” his voice never

fails to clenched her insides and send shivers to her body.

"Dante, can we talk please”
