              "Excess of everything is bad                   But why is not apt for pain?"                                              - Prachi Chauhan

Grace was preparing herbal tea for her mate, a habit she had whenever he came home after traveling.

"Good morning, Miss Grace."

Grace looked over her shoulder to see Haven standing by the door

"Good morning, sweetie and, please call me Grace."

"By the way, why are you up so early?"

"I couldn't sleep."

"May I help you in this?" Haven asked, referring to the tea she was making.

"It's almost done but thank you for asking."

"This smells amazing."

"Yeah, it does smell good."

"I was making this for Ethan. He loves bed tea. If you want, I can make one for you too."

Haven politely declined the offer.

"It's ready. Let me surprise Ethan."

Grace was so excited to see Ethan's reactions that she didn't notice someone was coming into the kitchen.

She turned around and collided with someone which, made the teacup disbalance and fell to the ground splattering the tea on the woman's dress, which made her shout,

"Argh! Are you blind or, you deliberately did this?"

Grace, bewildered at the scene, threw water from the nearby jug, which made the woman seethe in anger.

"Are you fucking kidding me?"
She looked towards her light blue dress that was spoiled.

"Oh god! my dress is ruined because of YOU. Have you knocked off your senses somewhere or, were you born this dumb."

The woman was yelling at Grace but, she was dumbstruck.

"Oh, now you are deaf and mute too. Great, just great. Just a morning I always wanted."

Sneered the woman and left the kitchen murmuring something to herself.

Grace stood like a statue in her place, unable to comprehend what to do.

Her spell broke by a hand on her shoulder.

"Are you alright, Grace?"

Grace smiled at the concern shown by Haven.

"Yes. It's a daily routine of Eleanor to spoil everyone's mood."

She sighed and began picking up the remnants of the teacup and cleaning the floor.

"Who was she?" inquired Haven while joining Grace in cleaning.

"Eleanor, Eleanor Miller, the female gamma of our pack, mate of Aaron Miller. They came today after their trip to our neighboring pack."

Haven slowly nodded at the information.

"Umm, do you like Teeccino?" Grace asked while throwing the waste in dustbin

Haven nodded her head positively.

"Let's start then."

Grace gleefully clapped her hands and started preparing another cup of tea.

Haven smiled at Grace's quick change of mood.

"Let me help you then."

Haven said and started helping her.
