I blinked up at him, a smile stretching over my lips. “Thank
you.”
Zane leaned in. “Told you. No sniffing, no growling, no threats.
You’re in.”
I bit my lip to prevent myself from laughing out loud.
Idiot.
We sat at the table, and almost instantly, Arielle began bringing out dishes. There was grilled chicken, roasted vegetables, garlic. rice, something that looked like pasta but smelled spicier, and cookies. Huge, soft, golden ones, with chocolate chips that made my stomach grumble.
“Am I being bribed?” I asked, staring at the cookies.
“Yes,” Arielle said seriously. “You’re our son’s mate. We want you to like us.”
I let out a laugh, glancing at Zane who just looked smug. “I do, I promise. Even without the cookies.”
“You’ll like me more after you try one. They’re chocolate chip,” she added, sitting beside her husband.

mouth. “Wow,” I whispered with my mouth full. “Sorry, I know it’s bad manners to talk while chewing, but they’re delicious.”
Zane chuckled and ruffled my hair, while his parents simply smiled at me.
“You two are adorable,” Arielle said, staring at us lovingly.
“Not more than us,” Rowan commented, putting his arm around
his wife.
As I watched them interact, with the heavenly cookies melting in my mouth, I felt like they were a window into our future—Zane’s and mine.
“Our time has passed, we’re old now. It’s their time,” Arielle replied, smiling.
“How dare you?” Rowan whispered. “It will always be our time, you understand?”
He pulled her closer to himself, and she chuckled, blushing.
I glanced at Zane, who was staring at me with a grin.
“Your parents are cuter than mine,” I whispered to him.
“They’re just werewolves in love. Your parents are really cute for humans.”

“Of course you didn’t. You’re human, honey,” Arielle said. “But he should have had an idea.”
Zane’s eyes widened. “How could I know? You don’t recognise your mate until you’re sixteen.”
“Still,” Rowan said, shaking his head. “There were signs, I’m sure. You were just too blind to see it.”
“Yeah,” I said in agreement, “even though I’m the one who wore glasses.”

“That’s right,” Ariella nodded.
Zane frowned. “Wait, what’s going on here? Why am I being targetted like this?”
“Because you’re dumb, sweetheart,” Arielle replied.
I pursed my lips to suppress my amused smile.
“Lia, do you know how he reacted when he smelled you?”
Rowan asked.
