Restoring The Blue Eyed Wolf.

Chapter 72.

John's POV.

It was sometime after lunch when I got a mind link from my mother telling me they had left and were on their way. I was excited to see them. It had been a while and though I am disappointed they stayed longer at Alpha Anthony's pack, I am glad that they decided to stay and help him when he needed it the most.

I would have done the exact same had I been in their position. Alpha Grace is preparing a nice dinner for all of us tonight and has all but banished me from the kitchen while she cooks.

Instead I decide to go to the one person in our little town who grows and sells her own flowers. I want to get some for my mother. Her favorite kind of flowers are pink roses and daisy's.  I'm not sure about the different kinds of flowers this lady owns and sells. It I'm willing to see if she has what I'm looking for.

Her house is wonderfully decorated outside and her yard looks spectacular with all the different types of flowers she has growing here. All the different colors and in so many different shapes and sizes. Perhaps I should get some for Alpha Grace as well as a thank you for cooking tonight. I'm unsure of what types of flowers she likes though or if she even likes flowers to begin with.

It's worth a shot though. I walk along the pathway to the front door and knock. After a few seconds I hear a small yell from inside. " Just a minute."

I step back from the door and wait patiently. A few moments later the door opens and there stands a pretty woman. She had dark brown hairs that was out back in a ponytail with a farmers hat over her head to shield her from the sun.

She was wearing overalls and a white shirt underneath. On her feet she wore socks and tennis shoes. She had on an apron that had pockets which held different planting tools for maintaining all her flowers. Her cheeks were flushed as if she had been out in the sun for a while and just got inside to cool off.

As soon as she saw me she smiled. " Ah John. So good to see you up and about. What can I do for you on this fine day?" She asked.

" It's so nice to see you too Kim. I know we don't know each other very well and I may be asking too much but I have a favor to ask you. " I said.

" Ask away. I'm an open book and will help you with whatever you may need to the best of my abilities. " she said.

" Ok, so my parents are on their way to visit me. It'll be the first time I've seen them in a few months and I wanted to ask if I could get a small bouquet of flowers for my mother as a gift?" I ask.

Her face lights up at that. " Aww that's so sweet of you. Of course I can help you with that. What kind of flowers does she like?" Asked Kim.

My mood brightens at those words. " She likes pink roses and any color of daisy's. " I tell her.

" Oh, wonderful picks. I have exactly what you need. Follow me and we can go pick out six of each flower for her bouquet. " said Kim.

" Yes ma'am. " I said as I moved out of the way for her to pass by and close the door behind her.

She led me through a path that has clearly been walked a lot due to the lack of grass and led me over to where she had all her roses. There were many different colors to choose from but she went straight over to the different shades of pink she had.

" Which shade of pink do you think she'll like most?" Asked Kim.

I took a look at all the different shades and settled on a very light pink. I pointed at it. " This one. " I said.

" Good choice. " she took out some gloves and passed them over to me before pulling out another pair and putting them on. I put on the pair that was handed to me. She then took out a tool and started to pick out the best roses she could see and passed them over to me to hold.

She had me wear the gloves so the thorns would prick my skin and because it's better for the plants long term survival after being cut down from its life line. Once we had six pink roses she ushered me over to where the daisy's were.

She had multiple different colors of daisy's as well. I decided to go with the color white since it seemed to blend best with the pink roses. She carefully cut the best ones and handed them over to me.

" There we go. I have a bunch of supplies inside for us to wrap them up, but before we leave here. Something tells me you have another gift in mind for someone else. " she said.

" How can you tell?" I ask.

" A woman always knows. It's a trademark secret. " she said.

I chuckled at that. " I want to get Alpha Grace some as a thank you, but I don't even know if she likes flowers." I said.

" I've got just the thing inside. Follow me. " she said. Together we walked back through the path to the front door and inside where she took the pile of flowers from me and went over to a table that held a lot of supplies. She brought out some paper and positioned all the flowers just right in the bouquet before wrapping it up and tying it off.

She had me remove the gloves and set them to the side before she handed the bouquet to me. " They look amazing. Thank you Kim. " I said.

" Now, on to Alpha Grace's present. I've never known her to be a flower type of girl unless it's a plant she can work on maintaining. So over here I've got my collection of African Violets. They are indoor plants and require lots of sunlight and attention to look beautiful. I also know that her favorite color is royal blue. Which I have plenty of. So here is a royal blue African Violet in a pot already for you to gift Alpha Grace. " she said as she picked a pot off a nearby table and handed it to me. I could see the color but the flower had just begun to bloom. It would need a lot of attention to get the full bloom.

I smiled. " This will be wonderful. How much for both of these?" I ask.

" Nothing at all. " she said.

My eyes widened. I had come fully prepared to buy these plants. " Are you sure? I have the money. " I said.

" I don't care about the money sweetie. I've been trying to find an excuse to give Alpha Grace one of these flowers but she would never let me gift it to her. She always wanted to pay me for it. Consider this a gift from me to you to give to her and your mother. It's the least I can do. " said Kim.

" Thank you so much. If you ever need help with your flowers give me a ring and I'll stop by to help. " I said.

" That would be wonderful. " said Kim.

We said goodbye and I made my way back to the pack house. I found a careful place to set my mothers bouquet at just as Alpha Grace walked up. She looked at the flowers. " Aww, is that a gift for your mom?" She asked.

" Yeah, I stopped by Kim's house and she gave these to me. Also..." I said grabbing the pot.

I turned and placed the potted plant into Alpha Grace's hands. She looked startled. " I wanted a way to thank you for everything and for cooking for my parents visit. This is a royal blue African Violet and now it's yours. Thank you. " I said.

She smiled and hugged me. " This means a lot. Thank you John. " she said.

She walked over to one of the side rooms we had which happened to be a sun room because of all the windows it had. She placed the pot of a desk right next to the window and smiled. " Perfect place to set it, don't you think?" She asked.

" It actually goes with the color of the room. I like it. " I said.

" Good. Thanks again John. Now, there's not much more I can do for cooking until five so for now, let's go get a book each and come sit in the sun room and read. " she said.

" Now that sounds amazing. " I said.

" You grab our books and I'll get us both a glass of tea. " said Alpha Grace and with that we parted ways to get our things.
