Filed to story: The Lycan Queen Story (Nora and Helios)
Dad just shakes his head and chuckles but uncle Dave is still growling. “Sit, brother” Uncle Dave says and dad looks at him but does what he asks.
Dad sits on his knees on the floor opposite of me. Anna sighs and glares at uncle Dave and I just want to laugh but I can’t. The feeling in the room is filled with pressure so I don’t dare to do anything.
Anna and uncle Dave walk away but Anna comes back with coffee and toast for me and I apologize to her.
“Anna, I am sorry for the kitchen, I was just so mad at Helios and I wanted to take revenge on him, I promise it was an accident” I say and look down on the floor
“Yeah it wasn’t very good but the end result will be better. Oh so much fun I will have tomorrow. You and Ben will have a lot of work to do” Anna claps her hand and is still smiling happily.
“Yeah, I am probably going along for the sake of economy so Ares is the one that is going to carry everything” Ben laughs and I growl
I get it, it’s my fault but I have this feeling in the back of my head that it is bigger than that. The smell, it didn’t just smell of bad food, it smelled weird in there.
“Dad, can you come with me into the kitchen?” I ask and he nods at me and we get up.
We have eaten up the toasts but we take our coffee with us and walk into the kitchen.
I walk toward the fridge and sniff the air. It is still there but it’s weaker now.
“Can you smell this?” I ask dad and point at the bench between the fridge and the stove.
Dad bends down and smells the spot I point at and he makes a disgusting expression.
“Are you guys sure that there was no one else in the castle?” he asks and I shrug
“I am not sure but we were quite occupied, dad” I say and dad nods and opens the door under the bench and I throw up on the floor.
We found the missing head of Anna’s black cat..
“I won’t complain at all tomorrow, I will carry everything that she wants” I promise my dad and he looks sad and nods.
Anna’s POV
I feel young again, I am accompanied by the very boys I saw grow up, almost anyway. Now there is a new day and I am sitting in the front but it is Ben that is driving. Ares muttered about my old style driving so we switched places.
We have just entered the human city after three hours in the car, one hour stuck in the traffic after some accident on the road. But now we are walking inside a store that sells kitchen stuff, the boys each have a cart so I can fill the big stuff on and I have a smaller one.
The king told me to buy new utensils and everything else for a kitchen, even lamps and chairs. I think it would be best to rent a truck.
“Hey, Ben, shouldn’t we rent a truck?” I ask and turn around just to see about 10 girls swarming around him and Ares.
Nevermind, I sigh and go ahead of them and I chuckle as I hear them tell the girls to get lost. I wander around and am currently looking at all different colors of a kitchen. Our old kitchen was white and trust me I don’t want a white kitchen again. It felt like hell to clean so no more white.
“How about a black or steel color?” A man’s voice says behind me and I turn around to see a sales person.
“Not black, but steel sounds nice. I make a lot of food so it has to be a stove that can handle anything. “I say and he nods and writes it down on some paper he had in his hand.
“Do you want to check out some colors for the kitchen drawers and cabinets and benches?” The man asks and I nod my head slowly.
“Yes I would like to see some other colors but no white or brown or black.” I say and smile at him.
“Of course, if you come with me here to one of our show kitchens can show you the colors and different styles.” he says and I nod.
I glance around and notice that Ben has finally torn away from the girls, but they are still flocking for Ares’ attention.
“Finally, now Ares can handle that so I don’t have to.” Ben snickers and I giggle as I look at Ares.
“Yeah, he can have that and you can come with me and help me with the salesperson. He was a little bit too personal” I say and shiver and Ben raises an eyebrow.
“Anna, you are beautiful. You know that right?” Ben says and I look surprised at him.
“No, I didn’t know that. But.. What about my scars?” I say and touch my cheek and look down
“Anna you are beautiful on the inside and on the outside, with and without the scars. But I have to tell you, you look like a woman that you should never mess with” Ben cheers me up and I smile.
We go to the show kitchen and Ben says hello to the sales person and then we look at the colors and we decide on a simple design for the kitchen.
One big fridge and one big freezer with an ice machine inside it. Ben looked happy about that little detail. They are both stainless steel along with the stove and the microwave. But the kitchen colors will be a dark forest green color.
But the bench tops. I am having a problem with the color on top of it. Gray? A dark brown? Light brown? Black? Pink?! Who the hell has pink benchtops?
“I think a light gray would fit better with a dark green color” the salesperson says.
“No, a darker color with marble inside of it” Ares says and huffs. He looks all tousled over.
“Marble”? That would be nice” I say, surprised that I didn’t think of that.
“Then let’s go with a dark marble benchtop. ” the salesperson said and wrote it down.
“Now we need new pans and pots, glasses, utensils, plates, bowls and baking stuff. What about a baking machine or whatever they are called?” Ares says and I stare at him.
“What?!” I say and I can’t comprehend what he said.
“Yeah I called dad and asked what more was needed and he said to let Anna decide that we have a lot of money from the budget. So shop away. Oh and we need at least four kitchen islands. “Ares shrugs but smiles large.
“Then I shall help you at once” the sales person says and waves over a few of his colleagues.
“Here, pack everything on this list and use one of our trucks” he says and gives over the list to them and I tilt my head.
“You can borrow one of our trucks for free when you buy a complete kitchen and we have this kitchen in the warehouse so you can take it home right away.” he says and I smile.
