"That's enough, angel. You are hurting me like this." Kaiden complained as he watched the girl who was still giggling after reading the message that her brother had sent.
Emily took a deep breath to pull herself together before she replied, "I'm sorry. I just found it funny and adorable. They love me too much. That's all."
Kaiden shook his head lightly as he finished his juice and refilled the glass.
"Do you want to order something particular for dinner?" He asked while refilling her glass.
Emily immediately looked around with a frown before returning her attention to him as she questioned, "Who's gonna take my order?"
A small twitch appeared on Kaiden's lips. He sat the jug of juice aside and turned his focus on the beautiful woman as he replied, "Who else it could be other than me? No matter whatever you want, you just need to tell me and I'll get it for you."
"Cheesy."
Emily mumbled with a small scoff which made Kaiden burst out into soft chuckles.
"No, seriously. What do you want to eat for dinner?" He asked in a serious tone.
"I'm good with anything as long as it's not too heavy for my stomach. So...surprise me!" Emily replied with a small smile playing on her lips.
She watched curiously as the silver-haired man gave her a quick wink before turning his attention towards their left and clapping his hands twice.
Since they were still surrounded by walls of the cave, the sound of his claps echoed loudly throughout the area.
And soon enough, her curiosity started converting into amazement as her eyes noticed the dozens of pixies appearing with freshly cooked food.
The air was soon filled with the aroma of delicious dishes as one after another, the pixies started filling the table with food.
The little creatures were barely one and a half feet tall with silvery white wings that glowed in the moonlight.
Emily noticed that almost all the pixies looked cute with puffy cheeks and round glowing eyes. Their shining wings succeeded in pulling her attention towards them and she even liked the small glittery dresses that the little creatures were wearing.
Pixies were one of the cutest and friendly supernatural creatures. They were famous for their vast majority of skills and efficiency. Most importantly, they were very rarely seen anywhere near human cities as they tend to live in the middle of nature and away from prying eyes.
"So beautiful."
Emily could not stop herself from complimenting the little pretty things that disappeared from her sight just as quickly as they had appeared.
"Try the food. I'm sure you will be even more surprised." Kaiden said as he pulled her attention towards the table covered with delicious dishes, sweets, and drinks.
Emily did not waste any time as she could already feel her mouth-watering at the sight of the food in front of her.
One of her hands grabbed a bowl while the other went towards the pair of chopsticks and just like that, she was busy enjoying the best meal of her life.
Though she would never say it out loud, the food prepared by the pixies was far too delicious than all the food that she had ever tasted in her life, even better than the food that Daniel used to cook.
However, she would never say it in front of her brother. He did not need to know that some little glowing fairies had successfully won the heart of his little sister with their otherworldly cooking skills.
"Can I assume that you enjoyed the food?" Kaiden asked as he watched the girl taking another bite from her chocolate pastry.
Emily just molded her head in answer while she kept her entire focus on the pastry which tasted too good its own good.
It did not take the two of them long, probably around half an hour, before all the food was swiped away and nothing was left.
The pixies once again appeared to collect the empty dishes and then disappeared just like that.
"Do they live here?" Emily asked as she let the man pull her out of her seat.
Kaiden took her near the stream before turning around to face her. He closed the little distance between the two of them and pulled her softly in his arms before replying, "No. They don't."
He did not explain any further and wrapped both his hands around her waist, making her look up at him with raised eyebrows.
"What are you doing?" Emily asked as she stared at his handsome face which appeared even more ethereal in the silvery moonlight which was filling the night with wonderful beauty.
"Let's dance a little," Kaiden whispered in response to her question as he smiled at her with affection shining n his icy blue eyes.
"But there's no music." She immediately responded.
The curve of his lips dipped a little bit more as he tried to not smile before replying, "My phone is in my left pocket. Let's play a song on the music app."
Emily looked at him in silence for a few silent seconds as she realized that how evil and sharp-minded the man was.
She just shook her head lightly before reaching out with her left hand and fumbling inside his right suit pocket to find his phone. Coincidentally, she found it on the first try. After spending a few seconds to find a perfect song for the moment, she hit the play button before putting his phone back in his pocket.
Immediately, a sweet and slow melody started playing. Kaiden's hands tightened their hold on her waist a little as he pulled her small body against his own, filling both of them with sweet electric tingles.
Emily let both of her hands wrap around his neck as she closed her eyes for a few seconds. When she opened them again, three beautiful white snow spirit foxes were standing beside them as they looked at her and Kaiden with soft and curious eyes.
"They have grown up," Kaiden commented as he watched the three fur balls surrounding them as they came to rub themselves against their legs.
While two of them were busy showing their affection to their mommy, at least one of them recognized his father as he came to rub its head against Kaiden's legs.
"I never got to say thank you for this wonderful gift. They have been my companions for the past four years and they are really the best spirit animals that I could have ever had." Emily told him sincerely as she brushed the fingers of her right hand across his chin.
"I'm happy that you like them," Kaiden said as he leaned into her touch, letting out a small sigh of contentment as he felt his wolf filling with happiness at the nearness of his mate.
"Sweetheart...."
"En?"
Emily looked at him only to find his eyes closed as he enjoyed the sweet soft moment that was making his wolf surrender in front of his mate.
He was an Alpha, not a normal alpha but an Alpha with magical abilities and royal blood. He was supposed to rule all the werewolves present in the world and he never bowed to anyone. But at that moment, his always arrogant and cold wolf was more than happy and eager to bow to the woman who was destined to complete him.
"Are you alright, K?" Emily asked in a soft tone as she brushed her fingers against his cheek and brow.
After all, he was not the only one who was affected by their current closeness. Emily too was experiencing the same emotions. Though she did not have a wolf spirit living inside her but the mate bond that was present between the two of them worked equally on both of them.
"I just want to hold you like this forever. I won't complain at all if the time would suddenly stops right at this moment. I'm too happy to complain about anything." Kaiden admitted as he placed a soft kiss against her fingers.
Emily did not speak as she just watched him enjoying the moment of their togetherness. She could feel her own happiness filling her from inside out as the bond between the two of them became stronger than it was before.
"I can't believe that in the past four years, no one succeeded in making me fall for him/her. I refused to believe that it was because I already have a crush on you back then."
Her words made Kaiden suddenly open his eyes as he looked at her with a frown decorating his handsome face.
"Are you threatening me?" He asked as he tightened his arms around her as if he was worried that she would run away anytime soon.
"I thought it sounds like a half compliment," Emily responded with a shrug as she looked down at the foxes that were busy playing around.
That's when she realized that the two f them were not even dancing at all and had been standing still all this time.
