Wolves of Roma

Prince of Roma- Chapter 35

Chapter 35
---------------

Next day

Evelyn was glum.

Her honeymoon over, her bubble was about to burst. Some would say married to a prince and living in a palace would consist of it being a dream but the truth was Max was a busy man, sitting with Roma had made her realize the million things that they needed to look at on a daily basis. Max managed most of their businesses while Roma focused on the werewolf side of things, it was a perfect division and it worked for them but Max also was dragged in to the important meetings of the werewolf world, one day he would replace his mother as the monarch and he needed to consolidate his power will before then to make the transition as smooth as possible.

His average day included at least twelve hours of work and it something came up he would be gone for sixteen if not more hours and once back he would be so exhausted that he would simply crash on to the bed. That was one more thing they had spoken about in their honeymoon. He had promised to dial back on work and hire someone to take some load off his shoulders from the business standpoint. She understood that he was a busy man but she could not work on a marriage where her husband was absent for majority of the time. Max had readily agreed and had promised to make this his priority.

They had really bonded on their honeymoon, their attention on each other they shared their hopes and fears and the week they spent together had only helped them get close to each other and now, real life was ready to bite then in the ass.

She looked out of the window braced for the landing which was as gentle as possible, the private jet that was bringing them back to Roma. As the small jet taxied across the tarmac it moved to a private hanger.

"We are here" Max said, unbuckling his seatbelt.

Evelyn simply pouted.

"I wish we could turn around and go back" She mumbled wishfully.

He grinned at her and extended his hand to her "Get up and stop pouting!"

She made a face at him and got up reluctantly, mumbling to herself.

As she wriggled out of the seat and stood up Max pulled her up to him and gave her a deep kiss.

She surrendered to it by wrapping her hands around him.

Someone cleared their throat and he pulled back looking at the interruption.

"Sir we are ready to deplane and you have guests waiting for you on the tarmac" The pilot informed and turned to walk out of the cabin.

Max sighed and reluctantly let go of Evelyn "I guess it's time to head back to the real world" he sighed wondering who was waiting for him.

He gave a slap on Evelyn's ass as she yelped in surprise and started walking out of the airplane and she hurriedly followed him.

As Max stepped out of the airplane in to the morning sun he squinted at the convoy of vehicles waiting and tried to figure out who was waiting for him.

As he stepped down the flight of steps the door of one of the cars opened and his mother stepped out.

Max's step paused for a moment, she was the last person he was expecting and he quickly walked towards her with Evelyn in tow.

"Mother?" he asked concerned "Is everything all right?"

"Everything is just fine Maxwell" she assured and said "I just wanted to greet my children when they got back" with that she smiled at Evelyn who smiled back weekly. Still confused what Roma was doing here.
