**Cleo POV: **
We reached the mall in record time. I serously though Vintage would take the long way. Or fake a car break down or some shit like that. To my surprise Vintage packed the car. I thought he would just pull up to the door and let me out. It seems he have other plans. I heard his seat belt and looked over at him. Please universe not this I say to myselfHe cut the car off and undid his seatbelt getting out of the car. Yeah, he can't come with me he will lose his shit. And on top of that he doesn't know all of Roberts and I past.
"Vintage where are you going? We agreed that you would stay in the car while I got in", I said to him scared he was going to go into the mall and make a scene.
"We didn't agree you spoke I listened that's all", he says as he opens the mall door for me. He need to see reason. He can't go woth me to meet Robert.
"Vintage I need to do this alone please don't make this hard for me", I say with pleading eyes.
"Hard for you? I am making this hard for you. I am the Alpha of the most powerful pack in the Americas. And here I am allowing my mate to meet with another man. Not just any man, but her ex-husband. YOUR ASS IS LUCKY YOU ARE EVEN HERE RIGHT NOW!", he is yelling but is trying to keep his voice down. He need to understand he can't over react like this in front of human who have no idea that werewolves esist.
"Alright come in but please wait for me at the restaurant on the top floor", I say pleading to him. I just want him to calm down.
“FINE, you got twenty mintues clock starts when you reach the café. I don't care if you have to wait ten mintues for him to show up. If you are not at the restaurant in twenty mintues, I will come looking for you and if I find him there, you will get to know why I am feared understood", I nod in response.
"Words Cleopatra, I need you to say you understand", he says looking at me. Yeah he will come find me if I take twenty one mintues. I know if he come to the cafe it won't be pretty for anyone.
"Yes, Vintage I understand. But how owuld you know i am at the cafe", I said sadly that he is acting like this.
"Good girl. I will know dont worry now go ahead and I will meet you in twenty mintues", he says as he walks me to the floor of the café. I walk to the café and Robert is there waiting for me either this will be the longest or shortest twenty mintues of my life one thing is for sure after this Robert needs to be out of my life.
**Robert POV: **
It's Cleo's birthday and after years of looking for her she ended up seeing her again. Now that I have her number, I can call her to wish her a happy birthday. I called her no answer it goes straight to voice mail. Her phone must be off I have a gift I want to give her, hell I was supposed to be given to her years ago. I sent her some text messages I don't want to seem like a stalker or desperate.
Shit I am desperate I want to see her again I must see her again. Finally, she responded to my text I am glad she agreed to meet me let alone meet me today. She is going to love the gift I have for her; it's been a long time coming if I wasn't a coward back then I would have given it to her.
Sitting inside the café I nervously wait for her. I ordered her favorite a Carmel macchiato, light ice extra cream. I still can't believe Cleo is shacking up with a fucking werewolf. I have to figure out a way to get her back. I knew she would be mad and hurt the night we had dinner, what I didn't expect was for her to kiss me back. Her kissing me back shows me she still loves me and if she still loves me there is a chance we can get back together.
My nerves are getting the best of me and this latte is not helping at all. The bell on the door rings I look, and I see Cleo walking in she looks amazing. She is wearing shorts the kind that hides the fact that she have a little stomach and a crop top that makes her breast look bigger than they are. I would do anything to be inside her again, to feel her body under neither mine. Hell, I would give my soul to have her on top of me again Cleo knows how to ride some dick.
"Hello, Cleo...I am glad you agreed to meet me", I say with a smile. She looks a bit nervous. I wonder why?
"Hi Robert, look I don't have much time", she says in a whisper.
"Why? Is he here? Anyway, I got you your favorite", I say as I push the macchiato to her.
"Thank you, Robert,", she says in a formal way. By the way, she is acting I know he is somewhere watching us.
"I know your time is limited so I will get straight to the point. Happy Birthday Cleo", I say as I push the red velvet box to her.
"What is it?", she asked.
"Open it and find out", I say as I grab her hand. I watch as she opens the box to reveal what's inside.
"A locket?", she looks at me confused.
"Yes, a locket open it", I say as I watch her slowly open the locket.
"What is this inside the locket?", she asked.
"On the left is our son's hair and on the right is some of his blood. I have one too, it's a little something that keep will keep him close to us", I say trying to not cry.
"Robert, I don't know what to say...how.... when... thank you Robert", she says as she starts to cry. I get up and hugged her tight to comfort her.
"Shhh.... baby...it's okay. After he was delivered , I asked the nurse for hair and blood samples. Because of my own selfishness, I never got to give you yours", I say as I show her my locket. I keep mines on at all times.
"Oh my God...thank you so much Robert this means the world to me", my heart fluttered when I heard those words.
"And you mean the world to me", I say as I look into her eyes.
"Robert, I have to go thank you so much", she whispers as I kissed her cheek.
I watched her as she walked out of the café with the locket in her hand. It took everything in me to not run after her. I know somewhere in the mall the shifter is waiting for her. I can still feel the love she have for me. It's there and that wolf will not keep us apart. Hell, she never even confirmed if they are together or not. But I am sure his feelings for her is more than the feeling she have for him. If she have felling for him. For all I know she could be afraid of him, and is going through the motion so he wont hurt her.
Dont' worry Cleo I will save you. When might be legally divorced but we are not spiritually divorced? We took vows that said," What God has joined together let no man put asunder", rather than man be me or someone else Cleo and I will not be put asunder. One way or another Cleo will be mine again even if it takes me years to get her back, I won't give up until death do us part. And even in death she will still be mine come hell or high water.
