Page 29 of His Sunshine Baby

Now that I think about it, two years have already passed since those events. A shiver runs down my spine. Moon Goddess, I never want to see that guy ever again. Me and my bad judgment. I sigh, and Bobo notices it. With a smile, he doesn’t say anything and just hands me a crepe. Surprised, I hesitate asecond before taking it. Oh my, this is so good! He just put lemon and sugar on it, but it’s deliciously hot, and the lemon’s sourness and the sugar’s sweetness melt in my mouth.

“Moon Goddess, this is so good! Can I just eat it all before Danny wakes up?” I ask while licking the juice off my fingers.

He laughs.

“I’ll make enough for the two of you, don’t worry.”

Indeed, there is already a good pile! How many is that? Thirty or so? There is enough for the whole floor!

“So, Bobo, what’s your story? What pack are you from? I’ve never seen you around. The Purple Moon?”

He shakes his head and flips another crepe.

“The Blood Moon.”

I almost spit out my coffee. Seriously! The Blood Moon? Of all clans, he’s from the King’s pack? Moon Goddess! That guy’s not even supposed to be here!

“You okay?” he asks, seeing me coughing miserably.

“The Blood Moon, seriously? Bobo, you shouldn’t be here, what if our pack members find out?”

But he shakes his head, very calm, and hands me a napkin to clean the mess I just made on my chin and the kitchen counter.

“Don’t worry, your Alpha allowed me to be here. I came to deliver a message from my boss.”

How can he be so calm? His boss is none other than the King! Once I’m done wiping off the coffee from my mouth and chin, I put down my cup and frown.

“Can I ask what message?”

“Nothing big or secret. He wants to meet your Alpha, Clark Hamilton. He’s looking for someone.”

While saying those last few words, Bobo’s green eyes suddenly darkened. The Alpha King is looking for someone? Who could it be? Judging from Bobo’s expression, it’s not aboutjust a fight or any simple issue. I wonder what kind of person the King is looking for.

“So, the King wants to come here? Mr. Black?”

It feels odd to call him that. Not only because it’s Nathaniel’s brother, but because, well, nobody really uses his name. He’s just referred to as the King whenever he’s mentioned, from what I know. Actually, he’s just so feared that most people avoid talking about him altogether. His influence is just that impressive.

But Bobo shakes his head.

“No, not the boss directly. His brothers will come in his stead. He doesn’t like to meet people.”

I freeze almost immediately. Bobo doesn’t notice, but I’m petrified just sitting there, and my mind enters a flurry of emotions. Oh, Moon Goddess. Nathaniel might come here, on our territory. Nate. Here. Those two words put together cause unfathomable confusion. What am I thinking? Once again, I’m flooded with memories of our night together. Don’t, don’t, don’t, Elena. Stop reminiscing, this is stupid! It doesn’t mean anything. Just because he’s coming to the White Moon territory doesn’t mean I’ll necessarily meet him again. There is no guarantee.

I breathe in and drink a big mouthful of coffee. I burn the tip of my tongue, but who cares. I need to cool down those thoughts.

“Good morn-’.”

Daniel, who was walking in, just spotted Bobo and froze instantly, visibly shocked. I see his eyes go to Bobo, then to me, and to Bobo again. It’s like I can hear his brain’s breakdown from here. Yep, he had no idea Bobo was, well, still here. Then, after a second of embarrassing silence, Bobo walks up to him with a smile and kisses him like it’s totally natural for them. I see Daniel’s eyes grow bigger and the next second, he’s as red as a tomato.

“Good morning,” says Bobo with his disarming smile.

“Go-good mor-morning,” stutters Daniel.

I can’t help but chuckle behind my cup, and despite my attempt to pass it as a cough, my best friend sends me a deadly glare.

“Don’t. You. Dare.”

“Not my fault you two are so cute! Seriously, Danny, if you could see your face right now-”
