Wonderland

Chapter 7

After shopping for a few hours and having lunch with Skylark, Katya was finally back home. She had dropped off a really ecstatic Skylark at Daemon's pack house then came straight home. She was so tired, all she wanted to do was get some sleep. She opened her door, headed upstairs and was about to lay down when her phone rang. It was Henri.

"Hey Henri. What's up?" She asked as she rubbed her neck and sat on the edge of her bed.

"Are you still busy or can I bring the children over soon?" He sounded as if he already had the children as was on his way over, typical Henri. Katya smiled and kept rubbing her neck. She wanted to sleep, but she really missed her kiddos.

"Go ahead and bring them over, I'm already home." She groaned when her doorbell rang. "Are you here already?"

"Almost, but not yet. Why?" Great. Who was at her door then? She wasn't expecting anyone. Katya stood up and quickly made her way downstairs as she answered Henri.

"Someone's at my door, just wondering if it was you." It was most definitely not him. Katya opened the door to find a smiling Daemon on the other side. She smiled back and motioned him inside. She closed and locked the door after he entered.

"Who is it?" Henri asked.

"It's Daemon." She replied, knowing full well he didn't know who that was.

"Who is this man and what is he doing in your home?" Henri asked with an edge to his voice. He could be so overprotective sometimes. Katya rolled her eyes.

"I'll see you later. Bye." Henri was going off in French as Katya hung up. She turned to Daemon, he looked at her with a raised eyebrow.

"What?" She asked raising her own eyebrow. He raised his hands at her angry tone and smiled at her.

"Just wondering who that man was on the phone." He said. She smirked and saucily walked into her kitchen. She opened her fridge, pulled out some cheese and set it on the counter. She walked to her pantry and pulled out some crackers then grabbed a bottle of wine from her mini fridge and walked back to the counter where her cheese was. She set her things down and grabbed a glass from her cupboard. She stopped before she closed the cupboard door and turned towards Daemon.

"Would you like some wine?" She asked. He shook his head and she closed the door. She walked back, opened the bottle of wine and poured some into her glass. She put some cheese on a cracker and popped it into her mouth then took a Soo of wine. She repeated the process a few times before realizing Daemon was staring at her with a small smile.

"What?" She asked before popping another cracker into her mouth.

"You are so beautiful." He stated like it was obvious. Katya continued chewing as she looked down and her cheeks heated. She wasn't used to Jacobs anyone tell her that. Not to her face anyways.

"Thank you." She whispered. She grabbed her glass and took another sip of wine. They stayed silent as Katya ate and Daemon stared at her. Katya opened her mouth to say something but was interrupted by the doorbell. Her eyes lit up and she smiled as she rushed towards the door.

"Henri!" She exclaimed as she wrapped her arms around his neck. She let him go and knelt down to be at eye level with her little munchkins.

"You have grown so much! Come on, let's go inside and I'll give you some cookies and milk." She said in fluent French. Henri groaned as the kids squealed and ran inside.

"Sugar!? Why would you give them sugar? I will never get them to sleep now." Henri complained and Katya smiled evilly at him. He pointed an angry finger at her, she snapped her teeth at him and he yelped.
