Chapter: 244

I know I don’t remember them all, but the warm welcome from everyone here makes me feel that this is what family is all about.

They all sat down on the floor and I was given a place next to my mum and Melissa.

“You don’t have to do anything, you can’t cook, my dear” my mum said lightly and everyone giggled at that.

“Don’t worry, we’re here to gossip, let those who are good at cooking do everything” Morena added and winked at me so that I wouldn’t feel humiliated by being told that I couldn’t cook.

No one showed any dislike or hatred towards me, how could I be uncomfortable around these people!

I gasped with a smile “I can’t cook, Mum?” I asked in surprise and she nodded her head while thrusting a glass of cold drink with a snack towards me “Thank goodness so I don’t have to pretend I can cook” I added casually and made the others laugh again.

Everyone was talking about things that happened around them, I listened carefully and laughed along with them.

The stories about their mates’ behaviour and the weird things they did, made me feel like I knew them all along. They never treat me like I’m some stranger who just came.

Snacks and drinks were constantly being provided, so it wasn’t so much a cookery event as it was a hangout time for the ladies, although there was some serious cooking going on for tonight’s event but I found my stomach extremely full from all the food provided.

Tents and long tables had already been set up by the men outside and they quickly made their way to their respective mates as we walked out.

Smiling warmly, I looked at everyone looking very happy together with their respective mates.

Yes, the concept of til death do us apart really happened in this werewolf world and perhaps that was why they were able to give their hearts and souls completely to their mates without worrying about cheating or loss of love.

A hand pulled me close and I gasped in surprise looking into my mate’s smiling eyes as he held me.

“I missed you” I couldn’t help but giggle as I heard him whisper those words.

“Hey, it’s like you haven’t seen me in a long time” I teased but he seemed serious with his words.

My G*d…

“I miss you too, Titus” I whispered very softly but knew he must be able to hear it because he looked very happy with a wide smile. Jeez! “I thought the event would be in the evening, why are we gathered here already?” I asked to see everyone starting to gather even though it was only 5pm.

“They know you have wolfsbane and want to check on you to see if you’re okay” I was surprised to hear that because it wasn’t something I expected him to say to me.

My eyes welled up knowing that what Titus said was true, as one by one they started introducing themselves again and asking about my health condition.

Again I was enveloped by the warmth of family that I never knew or remembered before.

It almost made me want to recover immediately so that I could continue to be in this warm environment.

Along with the presence of a man who is my mate who is always beside me and supports me.

How could I not fall in love with him…

After dinner, everyone stood side by side with their respective mates and families, with the Alphas standing at the front as the leaders of the event, Titus and I stood in the same position as the Alphas.

Hooowwllll….
