Alive and Well

Chapter 3

"So Liazern... what did Damien do to bribe you for taking me out to dinner?"

"Nothing. I asked Damien if you were interested going out."

"You want me to believe that. I have been widowed for 7 years. For 5 years Damien has been trying to get me to go out. He has somehow managed to pull me out of my comfort zone and found some man, whom I have never seen that associates himself with my former pack. That also wants me to believe that he wasn't bribe to bring me out of my house on the weekends."

"I don't expect you to believe me Miss Valen, but I am telling you right now I am very much interested in you. We can relate to each other. I am also a widowed man. My mate died years ago along with my family. So I'm looking to move forward with my life and live for my loved one I no longer have with me anymore. I am hoping you are wanting to do the same thing."

He was reading me like an open book. As much as I want to give in and trust him something is off and I can't put my finger on it.

"I do, but I'm not rushing into anything I'm not totally ready for. I came here tonight to test the waters I will be treading in. Whether if that is with you or someone else that is totally up for me to decide and initiate. I do appreciate the effort you are putting forth, but as you said you have been widowed for a lot longer than myself and on top of that I have a 7 year old son whom I also have to take into account when making a decision like this."

"I totally understand. I do have one question for you. It is 100% your choice would you like to stay and enjoy this evening away from your daily responsibilities or would you like to leave?"

"You draw a hard bargen either way I won't have any responsibility for tonight my son is at my parents for the night, but I would like to stay."

"Good answer and just in time for the first course."

We ate a three course dinner. He offered dessert, but I couldn't eat anymore. We stay and chatted for a little and sipped on some red wine. We talked about our lives before with our mates. I found out that Liazern was quite reserved about his past. Which is fine, but it still doesn't help the fact that I am getting a bad feeling from him. Nothing he says or does helps me with that suspicion other than his seclusive past. Given I was too. After we finished our wine he asked for the check and we made our way out.

"This was nice here is my number if you would like to do this again sometime. It doesn't have to be a date it can be two friends hanging out if you want to. Have a good night Miss Valen see you again sometime."

"Thank you Liazern. I will think about it, but I'll keep your number for safe keeping if I ever need a friend to call on. Have a goodnight."

I watched him get in his car and drive off. I wanted to explore the city before I made my way home. I walked the bustling streets of the city there was so much to take it in. I made it to a floral arch in the middle of the city. The scent of the flowers reminded me of my wedding day a glorious, but tragic day. I closed my eyes to take in the full experience.

I was brought back when someone bumped into me and as if there was just a normal feeling there was sparking behind it. Like the feeling of electricity from mates. A fate scent of Rondni was lingering. I zoomed my senses in on finding where this came from. I looked through the crowd until I found a similar stature man who looked like Rondni from behind. Right when I found this man he turn and looked at me an sure enough it was my Rondni!

I started pushing my way through the people on the street. Once he seen me heading his way he bolted. I ran after him knocking down and pushing anyone that was in my way.

I screamed his name "RONDNI."

He made no response and just kept running. I was on his tail, but I wasn't close enough to touch him. I had him only a fingertip away. I was right there, but I didn't catch him because I slammed right into someone.

"Hey watch where you are go.......... Ms. Moon!? Valen Moon.... what are you doing..... are you okay...  is someone..."

"I'm so sorry! Shit he got away. Ms.Turner..... I'm sorry I didn't see you... did I hurt you?"

"I'm fine, but are you? You're crying and look like you have seen a ghost darling!"

"I...I.... I thought I seen my husband. I could just be seeing things. Or simple going insane."

"Valen.... how would you seen your husband if he has been dead for 7 years?"

I began to sob "I....I don't know he resembled Ron and I just chased him out of instinct. I'm sorry...I. I'm so sorry. I don't mean to throw my life on you."

I dried my tears and picked Ms.Turner off the dirty street. I made sure she was ok and that  I didn't hurt her. She grabbed my hand and said "Come home with me and let's sit down and talk ok!?"

I looked down in embarssement, but I had a slight smile on my face and said "Okay".

I followed her back to her apartment. She lived close to the school, but she was still considered in the middle of the city. She gestured me to walk in. It was a cool and cozy apartment. I felt at peace here.

"Would you like some water or wine?" She asked while holding a bottle of wine and a bottle of water.

"Water will be ok."

"I'll bring the wine just in case!" She snickered. She was quite a cheeky woman. Always has been very open and bubbly to everyone she meets.

"This might be an intruding question, but are you okay Valen?"

"I'm fine I just let my emotions get the best of me. I know it has been a while since my husband has died, but it still feels like yesterday to me."

"That's understandable Valen. No matter how many years it has been it will still feel like it happened yesterday." Said Ms.Turner

Me and her talked for hours more or less about what happened, but also about ourselves and realized we have a lot in common. I later left her apartment and made my way back to my car. The once bustling streets were quiet.

The drive back was nice. I came home and poured myself another glass of red wine with a hint of wolfs bane in it. I sat down in my book corner window. I took in the night air and sky. I missed my Rondni. I don't know if I was going crazy or if I was actually seeing my Ron. I could have been going crazy there is no way someone can resurrect from the dead, but I also have this Liazern guy who has shown me and hint of interest I could have something with him in the future.
