The Wrath Of The Shadow Wolf novel Chapter 23

Maeve’s younger sister, Cynthia was inside of their house with her mother, Mrs. Johnson. Cynthia opens the fridge and brought out a bottle of wine. She brought out two glass cups and takes it to her mother who was sitting on a couch.

“You can have it, mum,” Cynthia said.

“Thanks, Cynthia,” Mrs. Johnson said.

She collected the glass cup from Cynthia and she poured some wine into the glass cup for her and she also poured into the glass cup she had brought for herself.

Cynthia placed the bottle of wine on the table in front of them and she sat beside her mother.

“Maeve had called mum, she said she is on her way back from work, and that she will be here in a couple of minutes,” Cynthia said.

“Oh, that’s great. I was planning on going to see her soon” she replied.

“Let me get the toast mum, it should be ready now,” Cynthia said.

She got up and dropped her drink on the table and then went into the kitchen to get the toast. She came back with a plate of toast.

Her mother took some toast from the plate and started to eat it. She took a bite from the toast and it tasted good.

“These are very nice,” she said.

“Thanks, mum” Cynthia replied.

Cynthia smiled as she sips her wine. Saying thank you over her mum’s compliment was more like a routine to her as she was already used to her mother’s compliment over good meals or even any meal at all.

“You know the taste keeps getting better and better as time goes by. I can’t remember toast ever tasting this nice” she said as she munches her toast.

Cynthia looked at her mother. Maybe there is actually something really nice about the toast because her mother’s hyping has gone way beyond normal. She took a toast from the plate and took a bite from it. She was a bit disappointed though, to her, the toast was nothing out of the normal.

However, she decided to play along with her mother.

“So yummy mum, I love it. The taste is just so sweet” Cynthia said.

“You can say so over and over again dear” Mrs. Johnson replied.

Maeve pulled over at the garage of her parents’ house and parked her car. She got down from the car and walked up to the door. She knocks at the door twice and waited for it to be opened.

She was already having goose pimples and some butterflies in her tummy. She does not know how it feels like to be with her family once again.

After Maeve lost her husband ten years ago, she moved into her parents’ house with her daughter. Riley and the both of them had been there ever since until she got married to Wright some months back.

Maeve felt like four months was a lot of time to stay away from her family and that is why she decided to see them today.

…………………………………………………..

Cynthia and her mum heard someone knock at the door.

“That must be Maeve, mum,” Cynthia said.

Cynthia was so excited and she could not wait to see her sister. They have not seen since after Maeve’s wedding, and that has been for about four months now. Even though they have been communicating every other day on phone, Cynthia felt that was not the same as seeing each other face to face.

“Yes baby, you go quickly and open the door right away, we must not keep her waiting” Mrs. Johnson replied.

Mrs. Johnson was also excited to see her daughter after what seemed to be such a long time to her. The family was already used to having Maeve around and four months seem like an eternity to them.

Cynthia got up and went to open the door. She opened the door, and immediately she saw Maeve standing in front of her, she screamed and grabbed her and they both went inside the house.

“Hello mum, how are you today?” Maeve greeted her mum.

“I am fine dear, it’s been such a long time and you are welcome” Mrs. Johnson replied.

Maeve was about to go and sit down when she heard her father’s voice.

“Who do we have here?” Mr. Johnson said.

Mr. Johnson was very excited to see his daughter, Maeve after such a long time.

Maeve sat down on the same couch with her mum and Cynthia came to sit close to her.

“I heard that voice from my room, and I say to myself that this must be my girl Maeve. How are you Maeve?” he asked.

“I am fine daddy. I can see you are looking good” Maeve replied.
