(A/N This chapter is all about Cole and his company, so if you want to ignore it, then you can do it)
Nikki P. O. V
The next day, I was discharged from the pack hospital and went home. When I entered the pack house, I was surprised to see Rose, Mike, Kelvin, Ryan, Stella, Torak, Emma, and my coven members were there to welcome me home with big smiles on their faces.
“Welcome home, dear, and thank you once again for saving my son,” Rose said with teary eyes and hugged me tightly.
“It’s good to be home,” I hugged her back. One by one, everyone comes and hugs me.
“We have arranged a small welcome home party for you. I hope you don’t mind,” Emma said while breaking the hug.
“Not at all,” I said, smiling at her. We walked inside the house, and I cut the cake, which Rose had prepared for us, and ate it with snacks while catching up with each other.
After some time, we had dinner, and everyone except Emma, Ryan, me, and Cole left their room to get some rest.
“So Ryan, when did you and Alisha start dating?” I ask him.
“Just a few days ago,” Ryan said, smiling at me.
“Did she know that you are a vampire?” I ask him.
“No,” he said with a sigh.
“When are you planning to tell her?” I ask him.
“When I am sure that she had fallen in love with me, I just hope she didn’t run away from me after knowing the truth,” he said while looking down at his lap.
“I don’t think so she will, because knowing her, she is a big fan of vampires and werewolf stories and novels; I think she will be thrilled that they truly exist. And not only that; she is also beloved of non-other than the vampire king himself, ” I said while smiling at him.
“Did she know about you and Cole? Have you told her about your true identity?” He asks me.
“No, I haven’t, but I will after you tell her about yourself,” I said, smiling at him.
“How long do you think you will need to recover to your full health so that you can make me wear the crown in front of the whole vampire kingdom and declare me as their king, ” Ryan asks me.
“Oh, about that, I want to discuss it with you. I need a favor from you after you become theirs, king,” I said to him.
“What is it?” he asks me.
“You know, when I was in a coma, Trevor, my previous protector, came in my dream to visit me on behalf of the moon goddess. He told me that she wants me to make the alliances between werewolves and vampires strong and everlasting, and I want your help with it, ” I said to him.
“You know, it’s not going to be an easy task because both of them are born enemies and only tolerated each other to take Alok out to save the world, right?” he asks me.
“Yeah, I know, that is why I need your help with it, try it, and if you want, I will be there with you to talk about it with you, okay?” I asked him, and he nodded his head at me. We discuss other things until I feel tired and go to Cole’s room to get some sleep.
A week goes like a blur, with me eating a lot of food, getting rest, and helping Cole with some of the paper and Luna’s work. The next day, I woke up at 8:00 am. I get out of bed and walk inside the washroom to get fresh. And get ready for the day.
When I walked out of the washroom to saw a beautiful dress with a letter on the bed. I walk towards the bed and start reading the letter.
*My Love Nikki,
After you turned 18, I didn’t get much time to spend alone time with you because you were always busy training with Emma, and whenever you came home to meet us, my family was all over you to get to spend some time with you.
But now, when everything is finished. I want to spend alone with you, not as your guardian but as your mate. So, I have decided to take you on a date, be ready in an hour, and have breakfast. I will come and pick you up after finishing some work.
Yours mate,
Cole*
I read, and a big smile formed on my smile. I wonder what has, he planned for our date. I grab the dress and walk inside the washroom to change the dress. I walk out of the washroom, brush my hair, and decide to keep it down and put on light makeup. I feel my stomach growl in hunger, I look at the clock to see I still have half an hour before Cole comes, so I decide to go downstairs and eat something.
As I finished eating my sandwich, Cole walked inside the kitchen with a big smile.
“Are you ready for our date?” he asks while walking towards me.
“Yes,” I said, smiling at him. He stretches his hand for me; I take his hand and feel the sparks fly all over my body. He leads me to the car.
“Ladies, first,” he said while opening the car door for me. After closing the door and helping me sit in the car, he walks towards the driver’s side and starts driving the car to our destination.
“So, where are you taking me for a date?” I ask him.
“It’s a surprise,” he said to me.
“And please, don’t try to read my thoughts because I don’t like it when you do it, especially when I have something special planned for you,” he added before I said anything to her, and I nodded to him with a chuckle. Then we drive to our destination in comfortable silence with soft background music on the radio. After some time, we stopped and parked the car near a farm.
“Where are we?” I ask him.
“I know how much you love nature and animals, so I decided to take you on a farm so that you can meet them and get to know them personally,” he said while walking towards me and helping me get out of the car.
At first, he introduces me to Mark, who looks after the farm and the animals inside the farm, while explaining how many people work on the farm and how Mark takes care of them all. Then Mark takes us to different places to show many animals like hens, pigs, cows, buffaloes, dogs, and sheep, but my favorite is horses.
After that, he takes me on horse riding, and we have lunch in a sunflower field near a lake while talking. It was more like he was talking, and I was listening while he explained to me what his companies do to earn money and what his farm and animal roles are in his company.
I found out that his company is engaged in many occupations like Dairy products, groceries, finance, law, restaurants, etc. He and his pack have taken over our town, and everyone respects him and his father. But since the werewolf has a long life span than humans, almost 90% of employees in his main headquarters are a werewolf.
After lunch, we pack up and ride back to the farm. We handed over the horses to their caretaker got inside the car, and drove to our next destination.
