Chapter 124

Oliver’s POV

Watching Soma take her store apart was painful for me too, I could see that she didn’t want to do this but she was forcing herself to do it. I wanted to stop her and tell her we should come back another day when she was ready, but I knew she was stubborn and wouldn’t let me pull her away from something she was already doing. The only thing I could do is support her and do what she needed me to do.

Her spirits picked up when I told her I wanted to sell her tea at my shop. I knew it would give her something to do when she wanted to come back to the human world. I was glad Micah made friends with the owner because he did give us a break because of what happened to Soma. I knew things would be better for Soma once this was done.

“I am going to start taking boxes over, I’ve called Micah to come and stay here and help with the rest of the stuff,” I spoke.

“Okay, this is almost it.” She said putting the rest of the shelve she was working on in a box. “Can you see if there are any boxes at the coffee shop, we might need like three more?” I said looking around. “Four to be safe.”

“Yep,” I said as Micah walked in. “Ah, there is the gum boy.” I laughed.

“Oh, don’t worry you are going to be doing it too.” He growled. “Go and be quick, it’s hopping over there, and I love that kind of rush.” He said pushing me out the door. I hated the rush he was a people person.

I ran the boxes over and put them in the back, we at least had a storage room so the tea would have its own space. Grabbing four empty boxes as Soma requested, I ran back across the street, Soma and Micah were laughing and having fun. That was something I was happy to hear.

“Did you miss me?” I mused.

“Nope.” Micah laughed. “Well, I will see you later on.” He said kissing Soma on the cheek and leaving without saying anything to me which was fine.

“So, I got these boxes, hopefully, they will be big enough for the rest,” I said putting the boxes down. “I’ve already cleared a space for all of your stuff, we will put up a display near the front and the registers. That way when people come for coffee, we can sell the tea too.” I smiled.

“Great.” She said grabbing another box. “Almost done, I am already tired and I don’t even know why.” She giggled.

“Well clearing a lot of stuff does that. I guess a bubble bath and a massage later is for you, yes?” I mused. “And then you can give me a good rub around too.”

“Very funny.” She said sticking her tongue.

“You know it would be fun to get naked and mess around here.” I mused. “We can even lock the door so no one could come in.”

“No,” she said shaking her head. “I don’t think the owner would like it if the store smelled like sex.” She giggled. “But when we get home maybe you will get lucky, that is depending on how much work you do now.”

“Fine, fine,” I said rolling my eyes, I knew she was trying to be professional but I wanted to have some fun. “I think this is the last box,” I said putting the little bit of product in the box I had.

“Yep.” She said with a sad face. “I thought this was going to take a lot longer, I guess I didn’t have that much left before I was taken.”

“I know,” I said putting the box by the door. “But at least when you get to the coffee shop you can organize everything again, and we can build you a shelve or more than one,” I said walking over to her. “I know you want your own space and we can get you another storefront down the road after you are comfortable doing stuff.”

She didn’t say anything, she walked back to her office, I followed her.

“So, I want you to take this,” she said handing me cash.

“No,” I said shaking my head. “That is your money, I want you to keep it for things you want.”

“Well, I want to put it in your account so you can give me a credit card and I could be a greedy girlfriend like I’m supposed to be.” She giggled.

“Oh, I see where this is going,” I said taking the cash. “I guess I should tell you not to spend much huh and then expect a huge bill? Is that how this goes?” I teased.

“Yeah, something like that.” She giggled. “I think I am ready to bring all of this over to the coffee shop and then we should head home. I am tired, and we should call my dad about the Luna ceremony. I cannot wait to hear from him, maybe he can help me understand why I still haven’t heard from Seff.”

I knew she was worried about her wolf; I wasn’t sure why we were able to communicate with her, I wondered if there was still some kind of part of the curse in effect and we will have to break it, I wasn’t sure though. I grabbed two boxes; Soma tried to grab the same amount but she dropped hers.

“Figures.” She said rolling her eyes.

“Hey now, I don’t want you doing too much, take one and wait at the coffee shot. Micah and I will get the rest.” I said holding the door open so she could walk out.

“Fine.” She giggled. “I guess you are going to make this harder for me than it has to be, but now I am going to be a weakling all the time.”

“I hope so, that way I’ll always feel stronger.” I laughed, we joked as we walked across the street. Micah was holding the door open for us. “Go get some boxes, I’ll be right there,” I said to Micah.

“Fine.”

“Go, gum boy!” I teased.

I led Soma back to the stock room, we piled the boxes in the corner, she was tired I could tell. “I think you should have something else to eat,” I said worriedly.

“I will when we get back home, and then I am going to put my feet up and relax for a few hours. But I want to cook too, do you think I can cook?”

“For me, for you, or everyone?”

“Well, if I cooked for everyone, I might need some help.” She mused. “But I wouldn’t mind, but I am sure your ladies in the kitchen might.”

“Na,” I said shaking my head. “I don’t give them a day off, so you probably would become their best friend because you are taking over.” I mused. “But I don’t want you cooking all the time because then the ladies in the kitchen might think they are fired.”

“No,” she said shaking her head. “I hate cooking, but sometimes I like to do it every once in a while.”

“Good you could cook for us; I’ll leave the ladies in the kitchen alone that way there aren’t any problems or jealousy because you can cook better.”

“But you haven’t had my cooking.” She said sticking her tongue out.

“Not yet, but soon,” I said pulling her closer and kissing her. I knew she wanted me to kiss her hard and that is exactly what I did.

“Alright ladies, everything is here,” Micah said putting the boxes down. “No sex in the stock room.” He warned.

“Well, we could.” She said before I could. “But I rather it is in my bed.” She said looking at Micah. “I don’t want people watching us.”

“Well, I might want to watch.” Micah joked. “But I don’t think the humans would want to hear two wolves howling in pleasure, you two might scare people away and I don’t know if I want to go out of business yet. So go home!” he said before walking out.

“Yeah, I think we should go home,” I spoke. “That way if I wanted to bend you over anywhere in the packhouse I can and you will take it like a good girl, yes?”

“Maybe.” She giggled. “Let’s go home because we need to call my dad and invite him over.”

“Yeah, I know,” I said rolling my eyes. I wanted to get her Luna ceremony over with that way the other Alpha’s when they come over, they can see I have a mate and Luna by my side, and they could stop complaining about me settling down.

“Oh, now you’re having second thoughts about me becoming Luna?” she giggled. “I guess we’re going to have to settle this the old fashion way huh?”

“Oh?” I mused. “I guess you’re going to have to convince me on everything when we get the time tonight. But until then I guess I am going to have to assume you can handle it, I know you can handle me but that doesn’t mean you are going to rule me. But we are going to work on that to ensure you can rule me.” I said sticking my tongue out.

We arrived back at the pack lands, Soma was excited, I think she got over the fear of losing her store. Maybe it was a good thing, I wouldn’t ask her about her store or talk about it until she decides she wants to bring it up.
