LOGIN"Who are you again?" Edith asks with a sly smile on her face. She knew the guys name but wanted to tease him. He was her childhood crush and has day dreamed of him as her mate.
"Don't you ever forget me. You silly girl." The guy replied to her. He was smiling as well. His eyes shows the happiness he has and its radiating all over his body. Edith could not stop staring at his body which was fully cloth but you can somehow imagine the muscles and the abs. Somehow he grew a scruff and it suits him. He was handsome when they were still in high school but now he looks manly.
"So what brings you here Fabio? I thought you're in España." Edith asks him, she was still looking at his body.
"Oh, right well España. I got bored and went home for a couple of weeks. Mama insisted I stay here for summer." He scratches his scruff and it was oozing with sexiness. Edith could not stop but drool.
"So are you going back there or will you transfer school?" Edith was intrigued by the possibilities. If Pat won't come tomorrow, then she might ask her Papa for permission to reject him. She may not have another mate as it was known that you only have one mate for your entire life. She is willing to risk that if she will be with Fabio.
She was entertaining the idea but her wolf warned her. She was cursing on her head.
'What are you thinking Edith? Our mate won't abandon us. Have some trust to him.' Amor said.
'Oh shut up Amor. I know, I just couldn't stand being this near with Fabio. He is the only guy I had a crush with.' Edith replied. She was annoyed at the sudden commotion of Amor. She usually don't curse.
"I will be going back there. Papa insists that I finish my school from there. How about you? How are you?" Fabio was intrigued to see Edith. She was blooming and she was much feminine than the last time he saw her. She has curves in the right places and her face is so angelic. He had an instant crush with her. He never saw a girl his age this beautiful.
"I am fine. I am helping hermana with the hacienda as she has kids already." Edith responded. She saw a smile forming from Fabio's face and there was desire in his eyes.
"That is good to know. So do you have your own kids yet?" Fabio was nervous. He is hoping that she is still single. He really like to court her.
"Oh me? No, sadly I have not found a husband yet. So kids is off the table for now." Edith blushed at the sudden question of Fabio. Is he going to ask her on a date? She thought. It made her smile.
"Tia, Tia, Tita Trish said we should go home. Who is this gentleman?" Joselito suddenly grabs her skirt. She snapped out of her daydreams.
"Niño, this is your Tiyo Fabio. He is my childhood friend. Say Hi to him." Edith introduced Fabio to her nephew.
"Hi Tiyo. It is nice to meet you." Joselito then held out his hand to do a mano. (a sign of respect to the elders, it is a gesture where the person showing sign of respect holds the hand of the elder and brings it to his forehead)
"Hi Joselito. Nice to meet you too. No need to do a mano. I am too young for that. Shall we shake hands?" Fabio then grab his hands and shook it. The kid smiled as he never had a hand shake before. "I like tou Tiyo Fabio. Will you visit us in the house?" Joselito was friendly and very hospitable.
"Niño, he might have other things to do. Let's go. We are sorry but we need to go back to the hacienda now. I hope to see you around Fabio." Edith suddenly interrupted Joselito's invitation. She didn't want to bring a man into their house besides Pat. It might give a negative idea towards her family.
"Sure, can I see you on Lunes? I will be back here to shop for Mama's gift." Fabio asked. She was hesitating, what if Pat asks her out as well. She was torn between saying yes to her crush and staying loyal to her mate.
"Sorry Fabio. Maybe some other time? I have things to do on Lunes." Edith responded with an apologizing look.
"Tiya you don't have anything to do. I heard Mama Claudia talk about you and Señor Pat." Joselito was such a cute kid. But he sometimes don't know when to keep quiet.
"Mama Claudia? Señor Pat? Edith are you seeing someone?" Fabio was sad at the thought that Edith has a suitor.
"Ah yes, Alex and Claudia married a few years back. Joselito here is Alex's child with her husband. Señor Pat is my friend whom I knew a few days ago." Edith answered him. He suddenly smiled and was happy he still has an advantage. He knew Edith longer than that Señor Pat.
"Hermana let's go. Hermana Alex will be scolding us if we keep Joselito up until lunchtime. He still needs to take a bath." Trish suddenly came to her rescue. She did not know what to say to Fabio already.
"Okay, adios Fabio. I hope to hear from you again. We are going home now." Edith bid him goodbye and walked back to their kalesa. He just stared at her. She was a beauty to behold. He followed her until she safely rode the kalesa.
"Hermana, are you okay? You seem to be distraught?" Trish asks her. She was worried. She thought bringing her in town would cheer her but it did the opposite.
"Oh Trish, my heart is torn between my mate and Fabio. I just wished he was my mate." Edith replied. She would be happy to be his wife and mother to his kids. She was day dreaming again.
Edith hears the thump of the feet of the horse in the ground. She was sitting at the back of their house. It was a sunny afternoon and she did not want to work inside her office where it was cramped and hot."My love, what are doing here? Why aren't you inside the house?" Pat asks her. He had a worriod look in his face. How can she tolerate the heat hear? He thought."Pat, you came. I thought you weren't going to show up." Edith replied with a smile on her face. She suddenly felt happy when she saw him."Are you busy right now?" Pat asked and scratched his head."Yeah, I am actually free. This can wait until later in the evening. So where are we going this afternoon?" Edith asks."Were going horseback riding." Pat happily replied."Are you serious? I haven't done that lately." Edith was excited. She has been planning to do that for a while now.&nb
The party has started as soon as the guest of honor arrived. Pat and his family were seated in the makshift stage along with Edith's family. A simple feast as it seems but Alex and Trish had prepared an entertainment of sorts."Tonight, we will introduce to you our very own dancers. They will be perfoming the tinikling. Please welcome our dancers and give them a round of applause." Alex stood in the fance floor while announcing this. Edith was shocked to see that her little sister along with her classmates are dressed in a Filipiñana while the boys who were from this pack and the same age were wearing barong and pants. They also brought bamboo sticks.The dancers paired up. Two boys were holding the bamboo sticks in both ends while the girls are standing in the sides. There were six groups all in all. The bamboo sticks rested in a bamboo that was cut in half.They started the dance. Pat's family was in awe with the
Patricio, Juan and their Mama are in the gates of the woods. They are ready to step into the human territory when there was someone who called Pat."Pat wait, I am coming as well." When they looked back it was his little sister."Mama can we bring her as well?" Pat had a worried look on his face. His sister is the most naughty among them. She might ruin his chance to be with his destiny."Let her come. We need as much support as we could if we are to present ourselves. Your Papa can't come so might as well bring her with Juan. This way we will show them that you are very serious in courting her as you brought your family with you." His Mama was a wise woman. He nodded and then waited for his little sister."Maria you should be at your best behaviour. This is not an adventure. Your elder brother has to prove his sincerity to pursue his destiny. We are just their to support him. Understood?" Hi

It has been two days since Edith last saw Pat. She has become agitated by his absence. She wasn't sure if he will come back. It seems her Papa gave him a very hard task.These days courtship is quite hard. Unlike before you just present your riches and any parent will give you your approval. This time they need to prove themselves not their wealth or their background."Hermana, are you okay? You seem distressed." Trish asks her. She was staring at the crops outside but her mind was somewhere else."Hi Trish, I didn't notice you were here. I am just worried. Pat hasn't visited yet. And tomorrow is the party. What if he won't come? Or what if he decides I am not worth the trouble?" Edith answered her sister's question."Hermana don't think like that. You know what, instead of sulking here alone. Why don't you come with me to town. We can drag Joselito with us. He is such an adorable kid." Trish
Alpha Vicente just made a decision and plans to let his children know.'Mijas, please come to my office please.' He mindlinked his children and his mi amor.'Si Papa' Edith responded. She was nervous as Pat was in a hurry to leave after his talk with her Papa.She hurriedly came upstairs in the second floor where his Papa had made an office for himself. Before he was in the third floor but as Alex her hermana assumed the Alpha role, he willingly gave her the office. He now took out a few meters of space in the library."Hi Papa. How was your talk with my mate? He seemed to be in a hurry to go." Edith asks him. She could not wait to know what happened."It was good. I called you hear to discuss our conversation also. Let us just wait for your Mama and sisters." Their Papa explained. She tried to read his facial expressions but she came up with nothing. He didn't seem hap
