chapter 1

"crazy is calling, crazy is calling, crazy is calling.” I heard my mobile

going off, through my half sleep state I reach over and grab it off the

bed side table.

with my eyes still closed I press a button and answer it.

"what" I grumble down the line, slowly I roll over onto my back and

stretch out like a cat.

"Lilliana, you better be dressed and ready, I'm pulling up to your street

now.” I groan at my cousin Mulan, without answering her I

disconnected our call and then climb out of bed. dragging my feet all

the way to the small cupboard I had in the corner of my small room

I pulling out my grey jeans and a black tank top and then quickly

changed. once I was done I run a brush through my black long curly

hair and then pull it up into a ponytail. I grabbed my phone and then

headed to the kitchen. Mulan's car horn blares off out side of my

house. I grab my bag and keys off the bench and slip my boots on my

feet as I rushed out the door. I jump into the silver beetle big car that

my crazy cousin owns and lean my head on the window.

"why are you so tired today?" she demanded as she drives us to the

workshop.

"I had a late call from Xaiden last night.” I tell her while slowly facing

towards the driver's side of the car.

Mulan’s face soften at my words.

"how is he going?" I smile as I think of Xaiden and his pail blue eyes,

black curly hair and his adorable little dimple smile. for a five year old

boy he was pretty smart and I miss him so badly.

"he’s good, mum's spoiling him rotten like always and dad has him out

training with the other little pups. Dad says he needs more training now

he's getting older.” I didn't like the thought of my little boy training so

much at the age of five. I stared at my cousin and watch as a small

smile crosses her pink lips and her green eyes light up she loved little

Xaiden and was always spoiling him in the workshop.

"your dad is the best person to help train, he's the best in his field." we

both. laugh knowing it was true, my father is a warrior wolf for the king

of our kind. my parents lived in the kingdom when I was younger but

then a few years ago they moved away and help train the young ones.

"I know he is in the best hands and the male role model will be good

for him over the next few weeks." we both go silent as we pull into the

back of the workshop and then climb out of the car. I grab the lock and

open the rolling doors where a Honda Civic is sitting on ramps waiting

for me to finish putting the motor back together.

I sigh as I walk to the back room and grab my work shirt that consists of

a clue checked long sleeve with the company logo on it.

"hey lil, don't forget you have that dodge ram coming in at 10:45am"

Mulan calls out from the office as I make my way to the Honda. I don't

bother answering her cause I know she will call me out again around

10am.

I get to work quickly putting the radiator back into place and then

working on the plugs and leads.

By the time 10am had come around I was done and made my way to

the office. My cousin was sitting there on her computer doing some

kind of paper work.

I shake my head at her.

"so what you doing?" I ask her as I lean back against the wall and stare

at her. Mulan looks over her shoulder at me and sighs.

"I got a call from the bank, they say we owe a month's worth of

mortgage payments.” again she looks over at the computer and starts

typing away.

"how? when they take it out each week.” not once in five years had we

missed a payment on our workshop, I was confused on how the bank

could do something like this. Anger was starting to take over my

system.

"I think I found out what has happened?" as she spoke those words I

move towards the computer screen to see what she has up.

Mulan points to one section and I read withdrawal, this makes me

frown.

"I never withdrew anything" I tell her with confusion lacing my words.

"no but a worker from here has." she hissed out in anger, while I growl

out mine. I'll kill him when I get my hands on that pig. I grumble to

myself.

"get me Colton on the phone and tell him I need a job done right

away.” she nods and starts the call, I walk out to my work area and start

to clean up the mess I had made from the Honda. it didn't take me long

to clean with my anger, but thankfully by the time I was done my anger

had settled. the owner had come and picked up his car by 10:30am

which gave me time to sit and finish my coffee off.

I stopped when I heard a V8 pull up to the front, walking out towards

the yard I see the dodge ram and a small women climbing out of it.

"hey Sally" I laugh softly at the tiny red head, sh jumps down and walks

towards me with a slight blush on her cheeks.

"I really don't know why he makes me bring this damn giant in." we

both laugh at her words.

"because it's funny watching a tiny women get out of it like you do." I

tell her truthfully and receive a playful slap on my arm from her.

"next time Colton will be bringing it himself.” I lead her towards the

office, compared to Sally,Colton was a giant.

He stood at over 6ft tall, huge hulk like arms and chest, silver eyes that

was always covered by his shaggy sandy blonde hair

where Sally was only 5ft 5 with red hair and green eyes with a tiny

body. But what makes these two cute? is that there mates, she works

with children and he works in security.

"so what does he want me to do this time?" I ask her as I lean against

my work bench with my coffee in my left hand.

"the right hand wheel is playing up, Colton asked if you could have a

look at it for him." I nod my head and quickly finish my coffee off and

place my cup on the bench.

"bring it to bay two and I'll have a look at it * Sally runs off and I walk

over to bay two just as she pulls in.

"you can wait with Mulan in the office if you like.” Sally smiles and runs

over to the office, I shake my head at her enthusiasm to see my cousin.

I get straight to work with the cars right hand wheel side, it didn't take

me long to work out it was a wheel bearing and a few loose wheel nuts.

I get the problem sorted out and put the wheel back into place. I love

doing my job, it gives me a thrill when I can take something apart and

put it back together.

I have a project out the back that I started last year, an old couple had a

rusty old Shelby cobra shell, that they wanted gone, so they gave me

first choice. I snapped at the chance and ever since have been slowly

fixing it up in my own time with my little man’s help. Xaiden lives

helping in the workshop.

at the thought of my baby boy, sadness hits me and my wolf, we both

miss our pup dearly. we don't care if he has Alpha blood in him, his

place is beside us not training his wolf side to be a leader. My wolf

hated the fact she couldn't be the one to teach him. Normally it's the

father who teaches the young male pups how to become one with

there wolf side, but for my Xaiden, that wasn't an option and this is why

my father has him for a few weeks.
