"Oh my freakin' head!" Sara uttered.

"Drink this. It will help with your hang over." Sara was startled to hear Bowen.

"What are you doing in my room?" Sara demanded an answer.

"Drink this first." He commanded. Sara took the pill and drank the water that Bowen handed.

"Thank you." She said.

"You got drunk yesterday. I took you home. When my engagement with Trin concluded, I stood watch over you." Bowen said in as-a-matter-of-fact tone.

"You slept here?" Sara was surprised.

"There." He pointed the settee. "I do not want you doing something crazy in case you woke up in the middle of the night and still tipsy." He added.

"Now, take your breakfast, prepare yourself, we leave in an hour." Bowen instructed and walked towards the door.

"Where are we going?" Sara ask in confusion.

"We have a date." Bowen supplied.

"Oh, fuck! That's today? Ugh! But my head still aches." Sara complained.

"Give it a few more minutes and you'll feel better. Get up now, my brave one." Bowen turned and left the room.

"I am not your brave one!" Sara mummed.

Sara decided to wear a casual dress and sneakers. She tied her hair in a neat ponytail and applied light make up. When she looked at herself in the mirror, she approved of her choice. She wanted to go for casual and yet comfortable get up.

Bowen was already in the Audi when Sara went down. Unfortunately, she passed by Trin on her way out.

Trin pouted and said, "the alpha made me cum yesterday."

Sara was disgusted. "You have a filthy mouth, Trin! Didn't your parents tell you that whatever happens between a man and a woman should remain in private? Have a little self-respect." With that Sara stormed out of the mansion.

Sara is red in anger. Her day has started bad already. When she entered the car, she banged the door as she closed it even before the guard could do it for her.

Bowen was surprised with Sara's outburst. "Care to explain this attitude? Will I be riding with your wolf now because she is about to take over you?"

Sara looked him straight in the eyes. Bowen felt a bit worried or even scared. Then Sara spoke. "Trin gave me an unsolicited information that you made her cum yesterday! What angers me is why she itches to involve me in your sexual affairs!"

Bowen gave his driver a stern look at the rear mirror and he looked away .

Fuck, Trin! He cursed.

He made a heavy sigh. "Trin is trying to get on your nerves because you are competition for her. And it worked. Look how riled up you are." Bowen told Sara.

"There. Is. No. Competition!" She emphasized.

"I agree." Bowen smiled. When Sara saw Bowen smiling it got her more fired up.

"Listen here, don't get any idea today with me. Keep your hands to yourself and behave. I am not Trin. I am not a fan of playing harem with you and Trin. I do not go weak in the knees with your touch!" Sara warned.

"I beg to disagree. I completely remember that time when.." Bowen was cut as Sara jumped him to cover his mouth!

"Shut up!" She whispered in fury. It took her seconds to realize how she is now on top of Bowen, whose arms protectively enclosed her waist. She blushed.

She tried to escape but Bowen gripped her tighter.

Now her face is just inches from his. Sara is not liking how she is reacting to their closeness and to his scent. Darn it! She cursed in her mind.

Bowen dipped his head and sniffed her neck before he positioned Sara at his side. "Pablo, drive." He instructed the driver.

Sara composed herself, took slow deep breaths, and turned to the view by the window.

Bowen is still grinning. He could not help it. Sara is so beautiful when she is jealous. She will never admit it. They are still in the car and it got exciting already.

If only Sara knew that she is his real mate. Bowen glanced at Sara. He is resolved to do anything to make Sara his. Anything...

"Mine." Bowen whispered.

The pack center is a buzzling area. When Sara first saw the place she had a good impression of it thus the reason why she wanted to spend the morning here. To see the locals and the way of life here.

Bowen and Sara were walking on the alley towards a jewelry shop. The guards kept a discreet distance. As they neared the shop, a cute little boy approached Sara and tugged at her dress. Sara was surprised but instantly offered a sweet smile.

"Hello." She greeted.

The boy handed her a white long-stemmed rose, bowed, and said, "white wolf." He then bashfully ran off.

Sara was still in surprise. She sniffed the beautiful rose and commented, "so sweet." She looked at Bowen still smiling. Bowen's heart skipped a beat.

"Seems I am the one who has competition." He jest.

They entered the jewelry shop and Sara was blown away at how crafty the pieces were.

She mentally computed her money in her purse because she fell in love with the small beautiful gold angel pendant.

She smiled at the jeweler and pointed on the pendant.

The jeweler nodded and smiled as if proud of her choice.

She put out her purse from her bag to pay when both the jeweler and Bowen touched her wrist to stop her. Sara was amused by both men.

"Allow me." Bowen offered.

"No need, Alpha. The miss can have it. It is my gift." The jeweler counter offered.

"I appreciate the thought but no thank you. I wish to pay for it myself." Sara cleared.

The men backed off, respecting and admiring Sara's resolve. Bowen loved how determined she is.

The jeweler prepared the item after receiving the payment. To Sara's surprise, the jeweler inserted the pendant on a thin gold necklace that looked triple the price of the pendant. He then placed it on an elegant box then on a cutesy paper bag.

"I insist, this time, Miss. It will be an honor to see my jewelry on your neck, White Wolf." The jeweler explained.

"That is generous of you. Thank you. I pray to the moon goddess that your business will prosper. And Sara will do. No need to call me White Wolf." She returned with a genuine smile.

Bowen shook the hand of the jeweler, pleased as to how he made Sara happy.

They proceeded to check the other places. Bowen is blown away as to how comfortable Sara is with dealing with people and how people are drawn to her as well. She is a natural luna. She will be great for the pack. Bowen prided.

They shared lunch at a local restaurant alfresco style. Bowen is not fond of pasta dishes but today with Sara, it was like the best food there is. The time with Sara is exciting and interesting unlike yesterday that started with lust. Bowen thought.

"Let's address the elephant in the room, shall we." Sara stated. Bowen felt awkward because he thought she meant the sexual interlude with Trin yesterday. He was over reaching to think Sara wanted to talk about his activities yesterday.

"You mean, Trin." Bowen supplied.

Sara's eyes balled then laughed out loud to Bowen's confusion. However, the sight of Sara laughing heartily made him want to laugh with her as well.

"I meant about the trip to the lenkacea fields!" She cleared.

"Oh! Right." Bowen grinned in embarrassment.

"Why do you want to see the fields?" Bowen needed to ask.

"Curiosity. Personal reasons." Sara said too little.

"Care to elaborate?" Bowen requested.

"No." She quipped.

Bowen sighed. If they do not visit the fields the date will be cut short. He does not want to part with Sara just yet. Besides, Sara IS the luna.

"Well, the elephant in the room has just approved the white wolf's visit to the fields." Bowen smiled that took Sara's breath away.
