My Unforgivable Mate novel Chapter 55

"Do you play Tomas?" I listen to Tili ask.

"Not really." He turns his back to me and I go back to focusing on my target before I swing for the hit. My ball gets a little too far but I seem to be better the Bailey herself.

Both of our lack of experience makes the game a little more interesting, also the fact that we're not playing by the rules. Tomas on the other hand knows exactly what he's doing, I know damn well he's played before.

It's not long before we set off back to his house where his aunt is already setting up in the kitchen. "You should have let me help." I take the seat she offered me as Tomas and my sister sit down too.

"Nonsense." She smiles, unlike Tomas, her hair is a deep shade of copper and her eyes as dark ad mud, to me, she's looks so unhealthily slim but no one else seem to notice. "You're guests." She finally takes her seat. "A quick prayer, if you don't mind."

"Of course we don't," I flash Bailey a look, who's already picking her fork up. I watch Tomas' aunt how her head and I do the same.

"Thank you lord for this good you give us, we pray you keep providing for us and the next day we see ourselves at another table, we won't forget to thank you, amen."

"Amen." We echo after her before digging into the dish she made us, I look down to see a smokey fish situation going on. I know all too well how much Nia hates fish but I'm going to have to force it down for the event.

"I was so very excited when Tomas told me he finally found an alpha willing enough to take him in," I look up at her words. "Thank you. I know how much of a hand full he can be-"

"Cheryl.." Tomas mutters keeping his eyes on his plate, both my sister let out short giggles. I start to dig into my fish making sure to swallow it down with water so it doesn't force itself back up.

"If you don't mind me asking, I've been informed your mated with Malic Salvadore?"

"Yes." I reply before filling my mouth.

"Given the history he and Tomas share, has there been any talk of merging packs?" The question catches me completely off guard.

I open my mouth catching myself before I um, "No, we haven't discussed that yet." I know it has to happen, sooner or later, but I didn't think people were expecting it so soon. "We haven't even discussed it yet." I scan my own pack, do they even want to merge with them?

"The only time we saw them was my brothers party," Tili speaks up. "They tend to really stay together."
