Chapter 40

Ashley

After Roman and I got dressed we made our way down to the kitchen, he walked over to the fridge and opened it, looking back at me he asked, "want anything special?"

I shook my head, "not really" I said sitting on one if the bar stools watching Roman shuffle through the fridge until he brought out a bag of apples

He held up the apples, " these fine?" He raised his brows

I nodded, "yeah I love apples" I told him

He set the apples down and closed the fridge. Then he got the cutting board and a knife to start cutting up the apples. "Do you like them pealed or do you not care?" He asked again about to cut an apple

I leabed closer to the counter to watch him, "I don't mind the skin on" I said watching his every move

He nodded and continued to cut the apples, once he finished the 3rd one he put the rest away and cleaned the cutting board and knife after he put the apples in a bowl. He set the bowl in front of me as he cleaned the cutting board and knife. I grabbed a piece and started eating, I then grabbed another and leaned over the counter to Roman. He looked up and I held out the piece of apple, he looked at it and then back at me. He smiled and bit the piece out of my hand. Once finished he sat right next to me and picked up another piece, bringing it to my lips. I smiled and ate it, "so, what's something I don't know about you?" He asked

I swallowed the apple, "well, I was on the running team back in school, and I really like romance movies" I said thinking

He chuckled, "oh really"

"Well what's something I don't know about you?" I asked him

"Um, I really like the out doors and I'm a very romantic person" he said with a cheeky smile

I giggled, Roman really dose seem nice and sweet, im really lucky I got someone like him to be my soulmate. "So, what's this witches name that saved me?" He asked

"Oh, her name is Christine, I guess she was a really good friend of my mothers which is how she was able to tell me I'm a witch" I explained

Roman nodded his head, "time for me to meet her don't you think, she was the person who saved my life and all" he said

I nodded popping the last piece of apple in my mouth, Roman set the bowl in the sink and filled it with water before walking out with me. Once we were in the market place I could finally tell how late it was, we walked up to Christine's wagon. Her lights were pretty during the day but at night they were beautiful, they illuminated around her table and her wagon. When we walked up I saw her carrying some boxes to her wagon, I started waving but when she noticed us she quickly ran into her wagon. That was weird, what made her freak like that? Roman looked at me with a raised brow, and I shrugged.

We stepped over to her carrage and she barged out, once she noticed we were behind her she spun around and curtsyed, "hello Alpha, Luna, how are you two?" She asked

Roman smiled at her, "im feeling a lot better thanks to you" he said holding out his hand, "my name is Roman, Alpha Roman" he said to her as he shook her hand

"Oh, uh, my name is Christine, Christine the witch" she said

I giggled, "Christine, I owe you my life. If you ever need anything just ask and ill do my best to make it happen" Roman said serious with her

She then got really stiff, "uh, no, no, it was nothing, anybody could have done it" she said trying to brush it off

"Dosnt matter you were the one who did, so I thank you. Would you like to eat with us in the dining hall for dinner?" He asked her

"Oh yes that would be awesome" I said, "please come and eat with us" i said really exited, that's souch a great idea

Christine was some what shocked by Romans offer, has she never eaten with a pack before, the pack didn't give her a real warm welcome any ways, I quickly blurted out, "but its ok if um, you don't want to"

Roman nodded agreeing with me, "we won't force  you into anything"

She thought for a moment, "it sounds like fun, but the other members of your pack don't really seem like they like witches" she said

Roman shook his head, "nonsense when they see you walk in with us they won't treat you any current than any other person" he said

"And even if they do, I want you to come right to me"I told her pointing at myself, "ill show them whose friend there messing with"

She looked over to me shocked "friend?" She asked softly

I nodded, "yeah, you were really good friends with my mom right? So that makes us friends, you also went the extra mile and saved my soulmate" I explained to her

She looked like she was going to cry, she smiled and whipped the stray tears, "yes I would love to eat with you two" she said

I looked over at Roman and smiled, that was a really good idea. I can't believe Roman thought of it, Christine nodded  "I need to change first" she said brushing past us, "excuse me for a moment"

We wIred for Christine, I heard the usual ruckus from inside. Pots, pans, glass, even cardboard, until it was quiet and Christine stepped out wearing a yellow dress that fell to her ankles, she also had a black witches hat and black belt with matching shoes to match the hat. She looked really quite and really young, which made me realize something, "Um, how come you dont look like you've aged? From the photo you looked exactly the same, and it looked as if it was taken over 30 years ago"...
