The Good Wolf Delilah

Chapter Three

Delilah’s POV

After lunch, I walked home to shower and change. I always throw my hair up in a ponytail since we work with food and I put on my work uniform which consists of black slacks and a white button-up shirt. It was 2:30 by the time I was done getting ready. What do you know, I’m gonna be late again.

“Let’s go. I'm excited to see the movies that came in” Demi said.

“Yeah yeah I’m going I’m going,” I said to her in the most dramatic tone that I could muster up. We just laughed as I headed to work. I love the movie theater.

The movie theater was in between showings when I got there as I walked into the lobby I could see my dad talking to someone familiar. It was Luna Sarah. Zander and Tobias’s mom. She is still Luna since Tobias hasn’t found a mate yet, when he does she will step down from her duties so his mate can step up.

She was part of saving Daphne and I from the rogues. She wasn’t there when Alpha Thomas found us but she took care of us when he brought us to their home. I love her like an aunt and she has been there for me ever since. I was close with their whole family except Tobias. We were only close for a short time after I met them, but as we grew up we grew apart. He became consumed by the alpha role when his dad died, which is to be expected. His dad died a few years after he saved us in a rogue attack, by the same wolf that chased us a few years prior. He was only 19 at the time when he had to step into the Alpha role early. He was supposed to have another two years of training but he took the role with dignity and grace and has steered us in the right direction, making us stronger and more united as a pack.

I walked over to them, when Luna Sarah saw me she stretched out her arms and I gave her a huge hug. I have and always will love her perfume. It smells like lilacs and I love flowers.

“She was coming to see if we could join her and her sons for dinner,” my dad said to me when I was done hugging Luna Sarah. “I have to close tonight. Would you like to go?”

“Oh Luna I couldn’t possibly impose on your dinner” I said trying to be polite but I was also trying to avoid an entire meal with Tobias.

“Please the more the merrier. We would love to have you. Get ready and I’ll have Zander pick you up at 7:30.”

I looked at my dad trying to see what he wanted me to do. I pleaded with my eyes for him to say no but he must not have gotten the hint. He nodded and smiled at me.

“The reservation is at Moon Crest so wear something nice,” she said walking away from us.

I walked over to my dad and gave him a hug. “Are you sure you don't need me tonight?”

“Yes I'm sure,” he chuckled, “go have fun!”

I got home about an hour later, I stayed to make sure all the popcorn was starting to pop and the butter was full. The next showing of one of our newest movies (The Terminator) was starting at 4:30 so I left before it got too busy. It's not by any means a new movie but it was new to us.

I made a quick ham and cheese sandwich and ran upstairs. I love my house, it blends in with the other pack houses. Beige bricks are stacked up until they meet with a deep maroon roof. The windows are framed with deep brown oak wood. There are flower beds lining our driveway, and because my parents know my love for roses they made sure to plant as many rose bushes as they could stand to look at.

Inside my house was simple, we had everything we needed. We have a 3 bedroom house. All of the rooms are on the second floor, downstairs was our kitchen and living room. I love our kitchen. It has light brown cabinets and marble countertops. My favorite part is the island in the middle. I used to spend hours there, watching my mom perfecting her recipes. I would also sneak a taste whenever she turned around. Fair warning, flour is not good when nothing is mixed with it.

When I got upstairs I desperately looked through my closet searching for something to wear. With no luck, I decided to try to tame my hair. I settled on straightening it because at least that would pass the time. Straightening my hair adds a couple of inches making it drop perfectly above my butt in the dip of my back. I brushed my teeth and threw on the tiniest bit of makeup. I added eyeliner and mascara making my hazel eyes pop. I paired that with some red lipstick. I couldn't help but feel in awe of the woman looking back at me, she was beautiful.

I still hadn’t found an outfit when I heard the front door close. It was already 6:45 which meant that my mom was home. I made my way downstairs. She turned and smiled at me when I made it into the kitchen.

‘Hi momma, how was your day?’

“It was great. I'm tired but I saw Amelia's parents and they told me how much they love my cinnamon bread. How was your day?”

I started to head over to the counter to help her put groceries away. She always goes once a week and today is Tuesday so it is her shopping day.

“It was good, I lost my sparring match. I'm not sure why I was so distracted today.”

“That's okay honey, you win some you lose some. I know how strong you are so use this and learn from it. Find where you left yourself open and vulnerable.”

I should've told her about why I was distracted but between seeing Tobias there without preparing myself and still not knowing who smelled so good. I was embarrassed. I also still wonder why the scent of sandalwood and pine was so intoxicatingly distracting.

“I know Mom, thank you. I love you, I need to finish getting ready.’

“I noticed you did your hair and makeup, you do know your outfit doesn't match right? Also, where are you going?’ she said pointing out my baggy gray sweatpants and red hoodie I had on.

‘Luna Sarah invited me to dinner with her and her sons. Zander is gonna be here soon to pick me up. I don't know what to wear for dinner at the Moon Crest restaurant.”

“I have just the dress,” she said with an excited smile. We quickly put away the rest of the groceries and headed upstairs to her room. She started to dig through her closet. I couldn’t hear the rattle of hangers anymore and that’s when she slowly started to walk out with a dress hanging over her arm. She looks so excited to be able to pick my outfit for tonight.

I was completely stunned as I stared into my mom’s floor-length mirror. She had found the most beautiful deep red dress. When I put it on I felt sexy. It has one shoulder strap that goes down my chest forming the perfect v shape showing my cleavage and pronouncing my boobs more, my mom is a couple of inches taller than me and the dress was short on her but it fit me just right. It gripped my entire frame to perfection. You could see the curves of my hips, and the weight of my thighs, and this dress made my butt look bigger than it was. My hair dropped down the back of it covering the low back cut of the dress. I felt like someone else.

I heard the doorbell ring. It was most likely Zander, I looked at the clock on my mom's bedroom wall. 7:30, right on time. I grabbed my favorite black heels that lace up partially up my calves and headed down the stairs. I sat down on the couch so I could put them on. They complemented the dress very well adding a couple more inches to my already tall height. My porcelain skin and freckles brought it all together.

My mom walked over and answered the front door. Yep, it was Zander and he looked great in his suit.
