Present Day
" Bella ! , Gabbie is here " Alex shouted from the living room.
Bella mind link her brother " tell her to come up " while laying on her bed lazily surfing the internet on her phone. Upon Gabbie's entrance , she straighten up and gave her best friend a smile in greeting .
" Did I forget that we have an appointment to meet ? " she asked frowning
" No , I just drop by to invite you to go to the mall for some girl's time and since it's Sunday , no fix time anyway "
" You should have told me earlier so that you won't wait long " Standing to get a shirt , jeans and a bath towel from the drawer and turning to go the the adjoining bathroom while Gabbie , laying down on the bed , relaxing and checking messages on her phone . Halfway to the bathroom, Bella paused and asked " why don't you also invite Trisha too ? "
" I'll text her but you know Luke , he'll want to come along . They are like twins "
" No problem with that , he can carry our packages " Bella replied from the bathroom . " Ok , I'll tell them to meet us at the mall so it will be faster " turning to her phone and start texting. After getting ready , both went down the kitchen to get some snacks to tide them over until they reach the mall for brunch.
On the way to the kitchen , they encountered Luna Jhoan , finalizing the dinning table for breakfast .
" Hello dears , come join us " Sam , Alex , Chester and Damian are already at the table eating breakfast.
" We are going to the mall Luna Jhoan " Gabbie said respectfully.
" We are planning to eat breakfast at the mall mother " Bella explained.
" Now dear , you know the rule , you can't go out without breakfast as breakfast is the most important meal of the day , and the mall is an hour away " Luna Jhoan said .
" You don't need to worry about breakfast going to waste , there are never any leftovers since the boys started solid foods " Sam jokingly said .
" What can I say , we are still growing boys " Alex replied grinning while getting the 3rd round of pancakes.
" Yeah , we are still growing " Damian echoed . " Now , now children " Luna Jhoan " not in front of the food please , stop bickering "
With no choice but to agree , both Bella and Gabbie sat down to eat .
" Why don't you join us Sam ? " Bella asked while getting some pancakes and bacons .
" I have a date " Sam said , " we are going to the park "
" Who are you going out with ? " Alex growled protectively
" Alex ! he's just a friend , it's just a friendly date " Sam exclaimed " Mom ! tell Alex not to follow me on my date "
" Now , now Sam , you know he just want to be assured that you are safe since you are still a teenager "
" But mom ! , it's a group date " Sam protested .
" Ok , ok ..... Alex , don't follow your sister " Luna Jhoan ordered.
" Ok mom , I won't " Alex promised while mind linking Chester " You follow Sam later "
After breakfast , Alex said " we are going to the pack gym for some practice " winking at Chester and Damain while Sam went up to her room to get ready while Bella and Gabbie said goodbye. " Bye guys , Bye mom ".
Gabbie went out to her car while Bella went to the passenger side. " What movie shall we watch ? " Gabbie asked while turning the car towards the Mall.
" Something with action .... Is the new Wonder Woman out yet ? " Bella tend towards action movies especially women in power.
" Yes , I agree , it's already showing. "
Arriving at Sapphire Mall , Bella texted Trisha to inform her of their arrival and to meet at the designated place . Sapphire Mall is the mall at the territory between several packs including Red Moon Pack and the Silver Moon Pack. It is also visited by different packs and sometimes , some humans also . Since it's on neutral territory as no pack can claim the place , all are welcome that's why Bella and her friends love to go to that mall as it's very diverse as you can meet a lot of other persons.
Upon arriving at the designated meeting area near the food court , they saw Trisha and Luke already waiting for them. As usual since they started senior high , they both wearing twinning clothes which Luke suggested suprising them since majority of the werewolfs don't like to do so since it is considered girly. Times like this remind Bella of Liam , since the Red Moon Pack shut off the border , Bella haven't seen Liam since and sometimes misses him like today when they went out malling.
" What are we going to watch ? " Trisha asked while Luke look on .
" We decided " Bella gesturing to Gabbie and herself " to watch the latest Wonder Woman movie "
" Yeah , I like that " Trisha high five Gabbie and Bella , smiling in agreement . Turning to Luke , worried that he might considered it a girl chick film .
" Hell yeah !! " Luke waving his arms up " action and women in sexy outfit , my kind of movie
Gabbie tried to hit him on the side with her elbow " You are such a guy " she murmured shaking her head
" Of course , I'm a guy , duh .... " Luke smirked "
" Now I'm jealous " Trisha pouted . Hugging her close to him , Luke said gently and affectionately " Darling , she's just a fantasy and you are the reality , of course , you are the best and I love you " kissing Trisha passionately .
" ok guys , don't forget that we are at the food court of the mall and their are children around " Bella said , embarrassed. " come on , let's go watch that movie " pulling Gabbie toward the escalator to go up the movie theater at the top floor.
After the movie , they went to Pizza Hut for some pizza and soda while discussing the upcoming marking ceremony of Trisha and Luke . After these years , finally , Trisha and Luke found out that they are really mates and started to live together. Since Luke wanted Trisha to feel special , they decided to hold a marking ceremony to share that joy with family and friends.
