5. When fates intertwined

Edith is day dreaming about her the whole time she was riding the kalesa. She did not notice that she was already in front of her house when the kutsero asks her hand to help her go down. 

"Muchas gracias señor." She tells him and rushes to go to the library. She did not want anybody to see her yet. She wants to draw him as soon as possible so she will be able to capture his face as accurate as she can remember. 

As soon as she enters the library Trish ran to her. "How was your shopping go?" Trish asks. 

"Oh just fantastic. Amazing. The best." She answers and without boinking started walking towards her drawing desk where her art materials are stored. 

She takes a paper out of the drawer and pulled a pen and ink from the other drawer. She then starts to draw his face from the outline of his jaws which was rounded and a little pointed in the chin. He had that round nose with a thick eyebrow. His eyes compliments his dark hair which was almost as dark as the bark of an aged tree. 

She tried to picture how he smiled with those thin soft lips. He was perfect in everyway. She was done in just a few minutes. She took a break and looked at her drawing. When she was satisfied she smiled and kept it in her drawer. But before she could store it Trish grabbed it from her hand. 

"Trish give that back!" She tells her harmanita. "Or what hermana? Ohhhh who is this handsome man?" Trish waved the paper at her face. She wants to get it back but was afraid to grab it. It might tear up if she puts force. 

"He is no one. I met him earlier in town. I just want to draw him. Now give it back." Edith answers her. 

"You seem different hermana. I don't believe you. He seems important to you." Trish smiles at her still holding the drawing. 

"Trish, I am warning you stop playing already. You are to old for silly games." She warns her. 

"I think, I will hold onto this. Might be useful later on. Thanks hermana. Bye, I going back to my studies now." She was still holding it while swaying her hips walking to Prof. Brienne their private tutor. Since her hermana Alex, she was in charge of teaching them. She became a family to them already. She is always there in every occassion they celebrate. She is also the mate of one of their pack members so there's that. 

Edith let's go of the drawing for now. She will be able to get it back once Trish looses interest on it. She always does that. 

"Hey Trish, don't crumple that one. I will let you win in training tomorrow if you keep that without any marks or crumple. Deal?" Over the years she has been observing her sibling and they could not help when a bet or a deal is offered to them. 

"See, I am right. This is important to you. You can not resist getting this back already. You have a deal hermana." She smiles from ear to ear when she stretched her hand to shake on it. Edith shakes her hand and went out of the library. She needs to talk to her hermana.

"Hermana are you in there?" She asks as she knocks her office door. She hears someone talking on the other side of the door. 

"Come in Edith." She hears her hermana acknowledge her. 

She opens the door and walks in towards the sofa. Her usual spot when she is there in her office. There was a man sitting in one of the chairs. She doesn't know him but she feels she knows him. She smiles towards him. "Buenas dias señor." She greets him. 

"Buenas dias señora. Alpha Alex thank you for hearing me out. I will go now. I will give you updates on my request." He then stood up, grabbed his hat and walked out. 

"So what brings you here hermanita? I thought you went shopping in town." Alex really knows everything going on in this pack. Even her little stroll was reported to her. 

"Yeah, I went back early since I found what I was looking for. More importantly, I think I found my mate." She explained to her sister. 

"You what? Where is he from. Did you get his name? address?" Alex asks her question after question. 

"Okay calm down. I saw him in the town plaza. More like bump into him actually. He was very polite actually but weird as well. His name is Patricio. I did not get his address though. I hurriedly went back here before we can talk some more. And oh, he also asks me for some snacks. Imagine? After that he also wanted to accompany back here. Which I both turned down." Edith was rumbling and Alex was nodding on everything she was saying. 

"So let me get this straight, you found him after two years and all you got from him is his name? Why did you turned down his offer? Are you alright? Is something bothering you?" Alex asks a lot of questions again. She was always this way eager to know the answers and wants it immediately. 

"Hermana slow down. Yes, I only got his name. I turned it down because I was unsure if he really is my mate. My wolf acknowledges him as our mate but when he kissed my hands there was no spark at all. He also acted weird like he wasn't of this time. He addresses me as lady Edith. Like who uses that anymore?" Edith explains her side. She hopes Alex will be able to shed some light to her trouble. 

"First of all, sparks can be felt if you are both a wolf, or a human. If you did not have any spark coming from his touch, there might be something blocking that. Let's ask the elders about this. As to how he addresses you, maybe he was taught that way. Don't over think those things hermanita." As always her hermana had answers to her questions. Sometimes she wonders how her hermana became so wise. Between the three of them she was the smartest but right now she doubts that as Alex has been able to advice her more than she advices her these days. 

"Do you really think the elders would be able to answer us?" She was doubtful as there were rare instances of their pack having human mates. And they haven't encountered other types of shifters or creatures since the battle in the woods. 

Is he human? Or is he part of those living in the woods. I hope he is just human. That would be easier for both of them. 

"Edith, are you coming or you want to continue day dreaming?" Alex asks her sister snapping her out of her thoughts. 

"Right, I am coming."
