42 Zucchini Cookies

"I wish I had that ability," I slowly murmured.

The thought of being able to regrow an arm or leg sounds like a pretty cool power.

It was almost like the thought of knowing that you can never die no matter what happens.

"You have an ability similar to that, Emi! Your womb is capable of healing and regrowing almost ten times faster than that of the regular human or werewolf. If anyone ever tries to remove it, your body will automatically regrow it," Rora exclaimed enthusiastically.

What in the hell did she just say?

My mouth partially opens before promptly closing.

Should I be more proud or horrified that I had this kind of...talent?

I'm not too sure.

At least I now know that I have a super womb that was not only capable of birthing full-blooded werewolf children but had the strange and miraculous ability to heal and regenerate.

Hoopla.

I am super excited.

Please note my sarcasm.

Almost 20 minutes later, I was back in Eros' room, lounging on the bed because I had nothing better to do.

If the next couple of days are going to be like this, then I might just die of boredom.

I was always used to the fast pace life with work being my main priority, other than trying to find what made me stop aging.

It was odd to be sitting around like this.

Rora had brought me some books to read but I was already getting bored with that too.

No one was willing to give me a phone or laptop because they were afraid that I would try to contact someone and escape.

Which would be something that I would do.

Because I felt as if I was a sitting duck, waiting for the danger and attack to come.

It made me nervous, anxious and slightly hesitant.

According to that werewolf council, I only had 6 months time to be marked, mated, and pupped.

I wonder what the consequences were if Eros and I did not mate by that time.

Were they going to take me away from this pack and hand me off to another

Alpha who could finish the job?

That last thought nearly had me leaping out of the bed.

That's not a possibility, right?

They wouldn't do something that depraved...right?

I'm not quite certain about their morals of taking away someone's mate and handing that mate to another male to breed heirs.

Just the thought of getting handed off to any male made me queasy.

If that's the case then I would rather stay with Eros.

Who knew if I would be upgraded to first class, downgraded to coach, or seated on the wings of the plane?

I really didn't want to test my luck and, from somewhere deep in my heart, I felt as if being stuck with Eros as a mate wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.

I'm never going to admit it though.

"Emi? I brought some cookies," Granny Ada called through the door before bringing in a plate of cookies with her.

My eyes immediately zoomed in on the zucchini cookies on the plate.

Don't judge a zucchini cookie before eating one.

Although they don't look very appetizing, they are quite yummy and slightly healthier than the average cookie.

Just the sweet and delicious scent was making my mouth water.

I almost reached out and took a zucchini cookie before I remembered that Zanthos helped make them.

This could be a delicious trap set by Zanthos. I'm not too sure if I want to walk right into that one.

Hopefully, Granny Ada was there to surveillance the entire time to make sure he didn't put anything weird in.

But then again, I shouldn't judge him just by his arrogant and creepy attitude.

Who knows, he could be a softy at heart, like a big giant with a cotton candy heart.

Who am I kidding?

He still creeps me out.

"I didn't come just to bring cookies, Emi. I wanted to detail you in on some information," she informed, taking a seat on the bed and watching me salivate at the cookies before throwing caution to the wind and taking a bite.

This was one delicious cookie!

Heck, I ended up eating almost three before stopping because I didn't want to ruin my lunch.

If the delicious food continued coming my way like this, I doubted that I can ever leave this place.

"Eros said that you are a scientist," she stated, watching my facial expressions.

I knew she was hinting towards my experimentation of her kind.

Although I am ashamed of what I have done, I can't really change my past.

"I am. I experimented on supernaturals for the government for a couple of months." I wasn't afraid to admit what I did because my grandmother didn't teach me to be a coward.

I own up to what I did, no matter how bad it may be.

"I'm not too sure if you have encountered breeders in your research, but I want to inform you in case old age gets to me and I become too senile to remember," she joked rather dramatically.

I almost spat out the bits of cookie in my mouth to laugh.

Yup.

Granny Ada definitely reminded me of my grandmother, who I always say was a comedian in the last life.

The lady was funny, from facial expression down to the contagious laugh.

I was getting really fond of Granny Ada and her sense of humor.

She was too nice not to like.
