Catherine’s POV
“Have you arrived safely?” Jeremy’s excited voice sounded over the receiver.
“I did!” I answered, feeling the same excitement bubble up inside me. I haven’t been home for some time, and I couldn’t wait to see my
family, especially Jeremy, and Ellie.

“I assume you had a good flight?” He then asked
I knew Jeremy was only having a conversation, and I didn’t mind.
“Yes,” I answered, “the flight wasn’t that bad.”
“That’s good news,” he said. What time could we expect you?”

“Well, I’m disembarking the plane now.” I answered, “Then I’ll have a quick stop at Latinos for lunch, and then there will be another forty-
five minutes or so before I arrive home.”
Jeremy became silent on the other side of the line before he spoke again. Our relationship had grown and was

now stronger than ever.

The night Brian rejected me, Jimmy came in moments later. They all knew about Brian’s infidelity. Jimmy was the one who discovered it,
and because my father couldn’t do anything about it while I was in a coma, Jimmy acted out.

I was surprised at all the innovative things he could do, but we had a good and proper talk about it, and he promised me that he would
never go out and make anyone’s life miserable.
“I’ll meet you at Latinos,” he said.
“Father is not going to let you drive,” I warned him.
“Who said I was driving?” he chuckled, amused.
“Are you planning to run?” I asked.
Latinos was situated in the heart of the city, and it was quite a distance to run.
“Yeah,” he said, getting more excited by the second, “I can’t wait to see you.”

I shook my head at his silliness. “That’s until you had enough of me.”
“Never!” He playfully barked, “If I could keep you home, I would…”

“Okay, I need to go, I said, seeing my driver coming closer. “I will see you soon.”
I cut the call before Jeremy could say anything more and waved for my driver to come closer and help me from the plane.
The drive to Latinos wasn’t a very long one, and soon I took my seat at my reserved table.
Raven, my driver, excused himself to take a call, leaving me at my table.
It didn’t take the staff long to notice me, and they called the owner, Carlo, to come and greet me.
“Oh, Miss Kate,” the huge wolf smiled, “we are so happy to see you! How are things?”
Carlo was a big guy, standing at 6’8; he had short, pitch–black hair, sparkling blue eyes, and he had laughing wrinkles around his eyes.
He opened Latinos about ten years ago in the heart of the only human town that was centered between ten different pack territories.

Carlo didn’t belong to any of the packs around here and had no interest in becoming a pack member as well, yet he had signed an alliance
with every Alpha in the area. I guess it had to do with his big, fat, friendly personality.
As time went by, we regularly visited the cozy restaurant, and later it became a monthly routine to drive down

to Latinos and have some decent Italian food there. We all love coming here, and the food was fantastic!

My mother knew that I wouldn’t miss the opportunity to stop here first before I returned home. Thus, she made sure I had a reservation
and apologized that my parents couldn’t make it.
“All fine,” I answered, “and here? How is business?”
“You know wolves, they always come hungry,” he laughed, “and you? Have the doctors made any progress on your diagnosis?”
I shook my head, a bit bitter.
