Chapter 0109
Dad goes easy on me in training, but it still feels good. As I work to get my body stronger, it is helping to make Artemis stronger as well. She’s back in my mind full time, but not yet strong enough to shift.
After training, I skip the bath for a shower, knowing I’ll need time to do my hair and makeup. Since I’m not exactly sure where we are going, but he said to dress nice, I decide to go with an off the shoulder long sleeve red sweater dress. I pair it with a thick brown belt to give it dimension and matching brown knee–high boots. I pull my curls into textured waves, with a single braid on one side that I pin back. I go light on makeup, adding more color to my eyeshadow and a softer glossy tint to my lips. Light eyeliner and a swipe of mascara finishes off the look.
Just as I’m finishing up, I hear the knock at the door. I grab my jacket and purse and head downstairs. When I open the door, I’m greeted by my gorgeous date who is holding another bouquet of flowers, tulips this time.
Before I can say anything, he whistles low, looking me up and down. “Damn. I’m going to have to fight off all the other male wolves tonight.”
I roll my eyes, even though I know I’m blushing. “Tulips this time? And in their own vase?”
I reach for the flowers, taking them as he leans in and gives me a light kiss on my lips. “I thought I would do something different and surprise you. And you mentioned that you only had the one vase.”
He follows me as I walk into the kitchen. Dad looks up from the living room. Rik.” He nods his head in acknowledgement before looking at the tulips and looking back at Rik. “Tulips, huh?”

“Yes sir.” Rik responds and he has a smirk on his face. I look between the two of them. “Do tulips have a meaning as well?” I ask, feeling out of the loop.
Dad turns back to the TV, ignoring me. Rik leans down and gently kisses my lips. again. “Maybe.”
I shake my head, putting the flowers on the bar before calling out a goodnight to my father.
Rik takes my hand and leads me out to the car. “So, where are we going?” I ask. He opens my door, but before I can get in the car, he presses his body against mine, kissing me properly. My hands slide into his hair, pulling him closer. I hear a soft groan before he pulls back, watching me as he licks his lips. “Delicious.” He
says.
I smile. “Must be my lip gloss.”
He chuckles, shaking his head. “Nope. Definitely not the lip gloss.”
I get in the car and we pull out. “So…?”
He looks over at me, taking my hand and kissing the back of it before putting it on his thigh, interlacing my fingers with his. “I wanted to give you the real dining experience at Ethereal.”
I’m startled. My very first date is going to be at the most expensive restaurant around?
