Giselle’s POV:
“What is the fantastic news?” Kevin, Riven and I asked in unison.
“We are going to our lake house for a little cozy trip” Stefan announced like a happy puppy.
“Lake house? Wow!” I replied, clapping my hands gently.
“What is there to be excited about?” Kevin replied with an eye roll and sat on the bed next to me.
“Yeah, Kevin is right. I mean the whole family will be there. We won’t be getting any privacy”, Riven replied with an equal frustrated tone.
“That’s why I don’t like them sometimes. They just add negativity to my life without knowing the complete news”, Stefan said annoyedly while looking at his brothers with narrowed eyes.
“Then what is the complete news?” Riven asked, he pursed his lips in a tight fake smile while lying next to me on the other side and keeping his head on my shoulder.
“Only four of us are going on this trip to make our bond stronger before Giselle enters the college and is busy with her studies and stuff”, Stefan replied in an excited tone.
“Now, we are talking. You have all of my attention”. Kevin sat straight, focusing his complete attention on Stefan.
“How did you manage to convince Dad about it?” Riven asked in confusion.
“You know, I had a small conversation with Dad and he was worried about our bond. He was also worried about how everything happened so suddenly, so he suggested that we should go on a trip to spend some quality time with each other”, Stefan said with a smile and continued,
“So, I suggest our lake house as the venue because we will be able to spend more time if we don’t lose much time, in travelling. What say?” Stefan asked with a proud smirk.
“Nice”, Stefan and Kevin replied in unison.
“Alpha Riley is really understanding” was the first thing that came to my mind.
I couldn’t help but compliment Alpha Riley, at least, he was much better than my mother.
“Of course, your future father-in-law is really understanding of you” He smiled at me and turned towards his brothers,
“Also, we need to take her shopping before college. Dad gave us the responsibility”, Stefan informed them in a serious tone.
“Shopping? For what? I don’t need shopping”. I refused instantly.
“I know sweetheart, you are beautiful as you are and I, personally, prefer you naked in my bed, but you see, none of us like if someone else would see you like that. You need to shop for some college appropriate clothes” Stefan replied with a teasing smirk.
I was about to deny it again when he held his hand and began to speak again,
“I also know Vera and Caleb have already shopped for you but you need to buy something you are comfortable in and some clothes which we prefer too. After all, you are our mate. You need to look the best!” Stefan added excitedly.
“Agreed”, Riven and Kevin nodded in agreement.
“Okay, if you say so. We will see” I replied with a nervous smile.
“Fine, I will take her shopping first”. Kevin took the initiative.
“Thanks”, I smiled at him and then turned towards Stefan.
“When are we leaving for this lake house?” I asked in a curious tone.
“Tomorrow morning” Stefan replied with a sweet smile.
“You need to rest now. Tomorrow will bring a lot more struggle than what today brought” Riven smirked at me.
What the hell! Now the arrogant Riven is smirking at me. Am I in the parallel universe?
“Can’t agree more” Kevin winked at me and Stefan just chuckled, his constant smirk was still laced on his lips, but I kind of like it now.
What the hell are they planning?
“I will send food to your room. Don’t come down for dinner”, Stefan smiled at me.
“Thank you. That’s really sweet of you” I replied.
“You are always welcome, love”, Stefan said while closing the door.

Third Person’s POV:
A girl came out of the bathroom wearing a small white colored bathrobe while towel drying her hair when she heard her phone ringing.
She checked the contact and received the call immediately.
“Hey, sis” said the caller.
“Hi, Nina, my little vixen. How are you doing these days?” the receiver spoke in a happy tone.
“I am doing great after I made that idiot break up with his girlfriend” Nina replied with a little chuckle.
“You are still proud of that small task?” the girl who received the call laughed.
“Of course, I just slept with that idiot Alpha once and he was ready to leave his werewolf girlfriend” Nina replied proudly.
“Do you know how many girls I removed from my dear boyfriend’s life?” The receiver asked in a proud tone.
“Ex boyfriend, sis! He broke up with you again”, Nina replied with a chuckle.
“Oh, come on, it’s not the first time he broke up with me” The girl said nonchalantly.
“No, actually I am quite frustrated with your relationship with that brute. He rejects you and then comes back and f*ck you every now and then. Why do you let him? And why do you kill all those she-wolves for him? Are you obsessed with him or are you really in love with him?” Nina asked in a confused tone.
“I don’t know, maybe I am in love”. The girl kept the towel down and looked at herself in the mirror.
“Don’t! Don’t ever fall in love with your target. You know who we are and what our mission is! You can’t afford to fall in love with a werewolf, sis”, Nina replied in an agitated tone.
“Chill, Nina”, the receiver said in a calm voice.
“No, you listen to me, Ira. What if his mate shows up in his life? You know how this soulmate bond works. How these werewolves are crazy for their mates. You will be heartbroken in the end!” Nina said in a worried tone.
“Don’t worry, Nina. You think too much. Even if his mate decided to come into his life. He has to come back to me”, Ira replied confidently.
“What? Why?” Nina asked in a flabbergasted tone.
“You know why!”
