*Lilly's pov*

When we were exploring the place, we didn't notice someone walked in. "Hi. I will be your provider. That means I will get you clothes and food. You guys will be here for a couple of months." A woman said in a Irish accent.

She was short and had dark blond hair with blue tips. She was wearing converse, skinny jeans, a band t shirt and a unzipped baggy jacket. She looked 16. A little young, might I say.

I looked her up and down. "We're kinda like you guys. This is street wear. You too will have to wear this kind of stuff. By the way, my name is Queen. Short for Quentela." She introduced.

Terrain finally made it back down to the first floor. "This is Queen. She is our care taker." I explained.

Terrain stared at her. Then he put out his hand. "Terrain." She shook his hand and smiled. He returned it.

"Are you human or wolf?" I asked, wanting answers. "Human. My parents are wolves. I was given up by my parents and they were kind enough to take me in as their own."

"How old are you and why are you working so young?" I asked. "15, almost 16. It's because my parents work for the forces. They said I should too. So I did. Any more questions?" She asked a little annoyed.

I shook my head. "Is that it? Okay, let me know your clothes sizes and I'll get shopping." She gave all of us a paper.

Name:

Shirt size:

Pants size:

Shoe size:

Under garment size(s):

Allergies (for food):

Preferred food:

Won't eat:

Anything else you want me to get?

Did she need to know all of this? I wrote in my answers. After about ten minutes everyone passed in their papers.

"Okay... I see... Okay. Thank you. I'll be back later. Make yourself comfortable." She said and left.

I shook my head and turned around. Terrain was right there. "I need to talk to you." He whispered. I nodded.

We went to the third floor lounge area. "What's up?" I asked. Terrain looked nervous.

"Queen... She's human... But she's... My mate..." My head just about exploded. In reality, I froze.

I slowly looked at him. "What?" I asked in shock. He nodded. "Her hand was so warm... So soft... So smooth... Her hair was... Her. Her smile... Her style... She could just melt my mind." He said.

"Don't get too attached." I said. "I hate to say it, but... You can't get too attached. What if... If. You don't make it. It's going to be hard on her. Especially since she's human. I'm sorry."

"You're right. I don't even have a chance with her. She probably has a boyfriend." He said. "I never said that."

We talked for a bit more about mate stuff, then headed back down to the main level.

There were bags of food in the table. I guess she got the food first. I started grabbing the food to bring it to the kitchen.

I grabbed five bags in each and and went up the stairs. I reached the kitchen and opened the fridge. I put the bags on the counter and put them away.

Terrain came up with the rest. I smiled at his responsibility. Or maybe he was just trying to impress Queen.

I went back down. Queen was leaving to room. "Hey." She stopped. "Yes?" She looked at me.

"Let me come with you. I know these people really well. We can mix what we like and the style here to get them clothes." I suggested.

She thought it over. She nodded. I walked along side of her. She was about to step into a car.

"Hey, aren't you a little young to be driving?" I asked. She nodded. She closed her door. I smirked and got in the passenger side.

'Going to get clothes with Queen, be back in a hour or two.' I linked Deon.

'Okay, I'll see you later.'

'Later.'

"What was that?" Queen asked. "What?" I asked back. "When you eyes got cloudy dark." She clarified.

"I'm talking to Deon. It's called mind linking. I think humans can do it when they're fully mated." I explained.

"Well I know what that means." She started the car and drove off. "I'm not actually fully human." She said out of the blue.

"What?" I asked. "I... I'm half werewolf. My father was. His mate was a human. I inherited that human. Once he found out... He gave me up. Gave no choice to my mother."

"Why are you telling me this?" I asked. Can she feel Terrain's spark? "Because... When I shook Terrain's hand... There was a spark..."

Well that answers my question. "If I'm half wolf... Can I become wolf? Most shift at thirteen. I didn't. I'm almost sixteen and... Nothing."

"I would wait until sixteen. See how you are then. And if not, touch my collar." I laughed.

She went to touch it. "Don't. It'll hurt a lot. I got used to the pain." I warned her. She pulled her hand back.

We arrived at the store and shopped for them. I didn't get to choose mine because she said 'I have no good taste' in clothes.

I picked out some stuff Deon would look cute in. Then got stuff for the rest of them. With Queens approval of course.

'Heading back.'

'See you soon.'

"There it is again!" She said and we were heading towards the registers. We got in line. I nodded.

We put all the stuff on the treadmill like thing. She finished ringing it up and looked at me.

I shook my head. "My little sis got the money from ma. It's for us and our sister and brothers. They are always killing their clothes." I said in the most believable accent ever.

She laughed. "I have seven children myself. My husband is never around. I take care of them all by myself. I know how she feels." The Irish cashier said as she bought my lie.

I smiled and we left, taking the recipient. I held the bags and Queen led me to the car.

"You actually have a pretty good fake accent." She complimented. "Who said it fake?" I said in the accent. We laughed at the same time.

We stopped and got everyone Starboodles on the way home. "Are you going to tell terrain?" I asked. She shook her head. "The mission is more important. No distractions."

'Come help us bring the stuff in. We're two minutes away.'

We parked and Deon was waiting outside. We got out and Queen brought the drinks to everyone.

Deon came towards me and kissed me on the cheek. Then he got some stuff and brought it in.

When he walked out again I was leaning on the car. "Why did you do that?" I asked. "Because. It's what couples do."

He left a little angerly and left me confused. What happened while I was gone?
