"I enjoy spending ti with Cherry and hearing of the many ways she has tried to beat you. The two of you seem like the oddest pair of friends because of your personalities but I guess that makes the best kind of friendship," said Aurora
"I envy how many good friends you have around you. I really wanted to have a large group of friends in the past but no one would ever talk to for too long because of rumors they heard. I’m sorry for boring you with this depressing topic. I’m also tired of hearing myself being nothing more than a victim."
"It isn’t boring to . I want you to be open with what you feel now and in the past. It’s better than keeping it bottled up inside. There are a lot of good people for you to be friends with here. You have a long life ahead of you and you can replace the bad mories you have with new ones in the future," Vincent said in hopes to cheer her up.
Aurora smiled because of his kind words. "Are you this nice to everyone or is it just ? They kind of paint you to be a brute."
"I’m selective when it cos to being nice. What do you paint to be?" He asked.
"Truthfully, it’s just annoying when you keep teasing . You have been nothing but nice to this entire ti. Maybe your friends aren’t accustod to this behavior and that’s why they would not drop the idea that I might beco your wife in the future. I’m flattered by how true they think it will be when they hardly know . Your future wife could be out there looking for you and you don’t know it."
"If I was ant to be with soone else I would be married by now. Even if I had to let go of what we had in the past. But yes, the future is unknown and things can end up different from what we expect. You might end up surprising yourself," he hinted at the fact she might be the one thinking of being his wife one day.
"I should start taking bets so that I can gain so money off of everyone’s predictions of our relationships. Lucian," she read another title and showed it to Vincent.
"It’s the diary of the first alpha. Be careful with it as it is the only version we have in the community. Soone is ant to co and write it out in a new book. I was given the book to read when I beca the alpha and I am ant to start writing one of my own in case sothing happens to it can provide advice to the alpha after ," he explained and pushed his body off the wall to look at so of the books he had saved but hadn’t read in a long ti.
"Is there only one alpha at a ti?"
"No, there can be more than one but it ans they will have to fight over who actually gets to lead the pack. Alpha’s only co from certain families and this ti, I was the only one to be a true alpha in the Lawerence family. Victor can only transform into a wolf. We don’t know how the alpha chooses the person it will beco a part of which is why my uncle is angry it skipped him," Vincent smiled rembering the disappointnt on his uncle’s face.
"What do you an by choosing?" Aurora assud they were just born as the alpha and realized it when they ca of a certain age.
"There’s a spirit we believe knows who is ant to be the alpha and from the Lawerance family, it has been picking who it wants. Why it made the only one is unknown but I believe it knows anyone who goes against shall be defeated."
"Your confidence never ceases to amaze , Vincent. Will you ever be so kind as to share so of this confidence with ? A cup full is all I need and you have so much to spare that I doubt you will miss any of it. What do you think?" She questioned walking behind a shelf to hide from him.
"Fine by but I will need sothing in exchange. A reward for granting you sothing so powerful. What do you think?" He threw back her question and waited. "Equivalent exchange."
Aurora rolled her eyes knowing what he wanted. "I’m not going to kiss you."
"I didn’t think of a kiss for even a second but since you have brought up the idea-"
"Liar," she appeared on the other side of the bookshelf to where he stood. "Don’t try to act all innocent. We knew both knew you were thinking it," she pointed a finger accusingly at him.
Vincent grabbed hold of her finger and said, "But you were the one to say it out loud. I really wasn’t referring to a kiss but the invitation to go sowhere with as my date. I only received the invitation today and have no one to go with. Your company would be helpful."
"Truly?"
"Truly," he promised.
"Are you sure you’re not the devil?" She questioned finding him to be more than just a werewolf. He could be the devil himself standing before her and lying about who he really is. "This wolf community can all be an illusion."
Vincent chuckled upon hearing her crazy theory and flicked her forehead. "No, I am not the devil. That man is worse than you think I am. I am simply Vincent Lawerence," he released her finger.
"There is nothing simple about you," she declared looking up to him craning her neck in the process. ’Why did he have to be so tall?’ she thought.
To tease her once again, Vincent leaned down to her level to whisper in her right ear, "If that is what you think, I won’t disagree with you."
Aurora blushed because of their closeness. "You’re too close-Ah!" She exclaid when he blew air just below her ear.
