Roselet grabbed both her hands and made them encircle her tiny waist. Then she leaned her back against Ethlyn’s body.
Ethlyn was surprised to see that Roselet was true to her words. She remained seated in the lap without uttering anything while Ethlyn kept smelling her scent, especially the scent of her baby products, her hair, her hands, and her face; it smelt so amazing.

After an hour!!
“Let’s go. You might be feeling hungry. It’s time for lunch.” Ethlyn said, sensing her hunger. But she admired her words that, not once, Roselet opened her mouth to say about it. “And yes, you can speak now.”
“Mommy, Where are we going then?” She asked on which Ethlyn glared at her, narrowing her eyes, but Roselet shrugged it. “How about you give me a tour of your pack?”
“What do you think I am? A guide?” Ethlyn asked.
“I’m leaving tomorrow. Can’t you give me a small tour of your pack? I promise I will give you the same treatment when you will come to my pack. Pleaseeee!! Pleaseeeee!! Pleaseeee!!!” She requested, hugging her tightly and rubbing her nose in Ethlyn’s stomach, turning her head toward her.
“Fine! Fine! I will give a tour of the pack.” Ethlyn agreed because the word ‘NO’ disappeared from her dictionary in her cute way of requesting it. And it wasn’t that she had some important work at home.
“Yayyyyy! Thank you, Mommy.”
“Let’s start from the best restaurant of my pack. The food is great there.” Ethlyn said unwillingly. She didn’t want to go anywhere because pack members still used to give stare as if she was some slut.
“I’m famished already,” Roselet said, rubbing her stomach.Content © NôvelDrama.Org.
Ethlyn smiled, and after a while, she started stripping in front of Roselet. Roselet held her clothes in her hand and waited for her mommy to shift.
As expected, when they reached the restaurant, a lot of pack members present there started staring at Ethlyn, making her feel uncomfortable. She wanted to leave immediately and hide somewhere, but her plan changed when Roselet held her hand.
“Let’s go.” She said, taking her inside it.
‘Isn’t she the Luna whom Alpha rejected?’
‘Any mate would have rejected a mate like her.’
‘I can’t believe how she can stoop so low.’
‘Who is the pup with her?’
‘She doesn’t belong to our pack.’
“Are you okay?” Roselet asked, seeing Ethlyn’s disturbed face, who was busy hearing the words of the pack members.
“Hmm” Ethlyn nodded her head. Coincidentally, Roselet chose the same spot that Ethlyn used to choose whenever she used to visit this restaurant. Once they settled, Roselet picked up the menu card to check what she wanted to eat.
“What is the best food in this place? Can you order for us?” She asked to keep Ethlyn busy as she was more busy looking around than focusing on her.
“Yeah! Sure. Do you have an allergy to anything?” Ethlyn asked before ordering.
“No.”
“Okay then, would you mind me ordering a Mozzarella donut and Marinara sauce?”
“Nope.” Roselet shook her head. “I love it, in fact. And along with that spam sandwich, crunchy chicken and waffles, black bean cheese fire noodles, deep-fried cheese tower, and many more things are my favorites. I’m not allergic to seafood, but I don’t like it.” Roselet said on which Ethlyn looked at her in surprise because Roselet’s taste was like hers. She ordered the food; whatever Roselet said was her favorite because it was her favorite too. She didn’t remember when she enjoyed food last time.
Whenever her mind used to get diverted by other people’s whispers and murmurs, Roselet used to do something because of which her attention returned back to her.
Ethlyn did realize because of all this that what others were talking about her didn’t affect her when she ignored it rather than listening to them. After lunch, Ethlyn took her to the highest mountain in that area, making sure that Roselet held her wolf’s coat tightly because there was not some specific path in those areas.
She mind-linked Reva about Roselet with her in case the Uncles of Roselet get worried for her.
“Your pack is so beautiful, Mommy. It is all surrounded by mountains, forests, and rivers, while Daddy’s pack is just surrounded by forest.” Roselet said, on which Ethlyn smiled.
Roselet gave her phone to Ethlyn and asked her to click pictures of her.
“Whose phone is this?” Ethlyn asked, looking at the brand-new Iphone14.
“Daddy gave it to me to use while I’m here. So, I can’t say that it’s mine.” Roselet responded and closed her eyes; she opened her hand. Ethlyn clicked her photos and made videos of her when she danced and started singing.

“One day, my father, he told me, “Son, don’t let it slip away”
He took me in his arms, I heard him say
“When you get older your wild heart will live for younger days
Think of me if ever you’re afraid”
He said, “One day, you’ll leave this world behind
So live a life you will remember”
My father told me when I was just a child
“These are the nights that never die”
My father told me

“Come on, Mommy, sing with me. Don’t be so boring?” Roselet said, reaching near her. “This song is ‘The night ‘by Avicii.”
“I know,” Ethlyn said, nodding her head.
“Then what are you waiting for? Sing with me and dance with me.” She said, placing the phone away from her hand.
“Rose…”
“Come on, Mommy,” Roselet said and resumed singing the same song.

“When thunderclouds start pouring down
Light a fire they can’t put out
Carve your name into those shining stars”
He said, “Go venture far beyond the shores
Don’t forsake this life of yours
I’ll guide you home no matter where you are”
One day, my father, he told me, “Son, don’t let it slip away”
When I was just a kid, I heard him say
“When you get older your wild heart will live for younger days
Think of me if ever you’re afraid” Roselet sang, holding Ethlyn’s hand and jumping around her, so that she could dance with her well. And finally, it worked when Ethlyn joined her.
