“Alright, I will restrain myself,” he said, adding in a whisper. “But I don’t like it.”
“Neither do I,” she laughed.
Selene stepped closer; she bent forward and kissed him. It was quick but warm.
“Let’s go inside,” she said, grabbing hold of his chair.
“What about them?” he asked, nodding towards Bell and Galen, still in the same position he had left them.
“Uh…” Selene laughed. “Yea, one second.”
Selene took a step towards the car and cleared her throat.
“Bell…” she called.
“Hmm?” Bell answered without pulling away from Galen.
“Down, girl!” Selene called out playfully. “If Axel sees you, he’s going to lose it.”
Bell hesitantly pulled away from Galen, giving him one last peck and a smile as he stared at her drunkenly.
“Hi, handsome,” she smiled.
“H..h…hi…,” he stuttered out.
“Care to let me down?” she asked.
Galen looked down and realized his arms were wrapped around her waist. Holding her off the ground and pressing her body against him. He looked back at her with a grin.
“Do I have to?”
Bell laughed.
“For now.”
Galen set her down gently, though she took his hand immediately.
“Come on, everybody, let’s head inside before Axel comes to get us,” Selene called back as she took hold of Alexander’s wheelchair once again.
As Selene and Alexander moved away, Bell took a step forward but was held back by Galen’s hand.
She looked up to see him looking back at her nervously.
“Hey, so… I don’t want to read into anything… but… uh… I think maybe… should we talk?” Galen said, rubbing the back of his neck and blushing.
Bell lifted her mouth in a half-grin.
She moved close to him, looking up into his eyes.
He swallowed as she got closer.
“Hey Galen,” she said sweetly.
“Yes?” he replied with another swallow.
“You know that wall you mentioned?” she asked.
He stood up a little straighter.
“Yea,” he answered.
Bell saw the concern in his eye and wondered if he was afraid for himself or worried about her. Either way, his eyes held such openness that she couldn’t help herself.
She reached her hand to his collar and pulled him down, capturing his mouth with hers once again. Again, he didn’t hesitate to reciprocate.
When they were both in need of oxygen. They pulled away, staying close as they both panted.
“I blew it up,” she whispered.
Galen smiled brightly and pulled her close. She laughed but wrapped her arms around his neck. He leaned down and kissed her gently.
From a short distance away, Axel clenched his jaw in frustration.
‘What kind of jerk just makes out with a girl in front of her family?’ he thought.
He turned away.
“I’ll give them five more minutes, but that’s it!” he growled.
He moved further away towards the building door. Then, pulling out his phone, Axel sent a message to his father, letting him know Bell needed a few more minutes.
Axel sighed as he put his phone away and looked around the area.
Not far from where he stood, on one of the benches, he saw something shining in the moon’s light. His curiosity got the better of him, and he went to investigate.
As he got closer, he recognized the wrapper. It was a 3 Musketeers bar.
Axel furrowed his brow, he looked all around for anyone who might have left it, but he was all alone.
He reached down and then hesitated, wondering if it was one of Bell’s pranks. She had been known to weaponize his bad habit in the past.
Axel licked his lips and then quickly grabbed the candy bar. No confetti cannon, no sudden air horn, nothing happened.
He shrugged and smiled to himself as he started to unwrap the candy. Axel took a bite and smiled with satisfaction.
“Axel!”
He jumped. Surprised by the sudden shout, he dropped the candy bar.
‘No!’ he cried out in his mind.
Quickly he turned to see who had lost him his treasure. Bell and Galen stood waiting for him by the door.
“Dude!” Bell shouted, “What are you doing?”
“Nothing, I just found– Huh?” he started to answer but was surprised when he turned back and saw nothing on the ground.
“Let’s go, slowpoke!” Bell shouted back, opening the door.
“You’re the one that was letting that dog slobber all over you…” he grumbled to himself as he walked towards the door.
Behind a pillar not far from where Axel had stood, a delicate mouth curved into a grin as she listened to his grumbles and bit into the discarded chocolate.
“Welcome back to Winter,” Corrine smiled brilliantly at Alexander and Galen.
They each thanked her.
Wyatt stood beside her without a word. He looked up at Alexander but could not maintain eye contact for long.
Alexander found himself forcing a smile.
‘Selene was right. He looks tired,’ he thought. He couldn’t help but wonder if there was something else going on.
He thought about suggesting to Bell a few tests that she might run or offering to send some equipment. But he caught himself.
‘He wouldn’t accept it anyway,” he smiled.
Alexander told himself he only felt hurt for Selene’s sake.
“The official ceremony isn’t for two days,” Corrine continued. “But because of your bond with Selene, we decided to ask you to join us for the Goddess’ blessing at the full moon.”
“Thank you for the honor,” Alexander replied.
Corrine looked at Selene with a nod. Alexander looked up at Selene with a question.
“There is another reason we asked you here early,” Selene said, biting her lip nervously.
“Oh?” Alexander smiled, wondering what she was up to.
“We thought it would be a good time to announce our bond.”
Alexander was stunned.
“What?” he asked.
“You’ve already told your pack, and mine has known since the fae attack,” Selene said. “I’m not asking that you make me your Luna, only that we officially announce to the other packs that we are mates.”
Alexander wasn’t unhappy but surprised by her initiative. After hiding from their bond for so long, she wanted to shout it out..
Then he realized something else.
“You want to use the declaration of peace as time to figure out how to avoid a war from our bond.”
Selene smiled.
Alexander didn’t care about the etiquette or rudeness of his actions.
He grabbed her hand, pulling her roughly towards him, so she fell into his lap. Although she let out a yelp of surprise, he smiled and kissed her vigorously.
