Reunion with Her Alpha (Paranormal Werewolf Shifter Romance) by Joanna Wilson Page B

beautiful, all creams and gold’s. She looked over at Charlie and noticed his smile.
     
    “This is beautiful, baby. Thank you.”
     
    “Happy birthday” He grinned.
     
    “It's not my birthday yet.”
     
    “I know, but I wanted some time alone with you before your friends and family steal all your attention tomorrow.”
     
    They walked into the hotel's restaurant. Charles had already reserved them a table. As soon as they sat down, a waiter appeared with two glasses of wine. Settling into her seat, Mila wondered what else Charles had planned for the evening. Based on the upscale decor of the restaurant, it was going to be something special.
     
    “Do you know what you want to order?” Charles asked a little while later.
     
    “I think so.”
     
    As they ate, she noticed something moving in the corner of her eyes. Charles’ hand came down to his side.
     
    “What are you doing?” She asked.
     
    “Oh, nothing. I think I saw a fly.” He sounded uncertain.
     
    A waiter approached the table and told Mila she had a phone call.
     
    Looking at Charles in confusion, Mila got up and went to the receptions desk.
     
    “Hello?”
     
    “Hey girlie.” It was Carly. “I couldn’t get your cell and then I remembered Charles said he was taking you to the restaurant when he was talking to your mom.”
     
    My mom? “He told you guys about this?”
     
    “Yeah. It was a surprise so I didn’t spill the beans. Anyway I’m calling to see what time you want me to get the food from the caterer tomorrow?”
     
    Shaking her head, Mila smiled, “I already told you to go at twelve since the party starts at one.”
     
    “Oh yeah, silly me. Okay, go enjoy your date sweetie, talk to you later.”
     
    When she got back, Mila saw the table was cleared.
     
    “I took the liberty of ordering dessert.” Charles explained.
     
    A waiter came and set down a bouquet of white and red roses “For the lady.” He bowed and winked at Charles.
     
    Mila smiled. “Thank you, honey. They are really beautiful.”
     
    “Anything for you, love. It’s your birthday after all.”
     
    Smiling, Mila leaned forward to kiss him. She was so lucky to find such a sweet boyfriend. She wouldn’t change him for the world.
     
    Dessert was brought around a few minutes later. Mila stopped staring at Charles to look down at her plate.
     
    She saw it and her heart skipped.
     
    There was a long stemmed red rose on the plate, a piece of chocolate cake, and a beautiful ring.
     
    Tears welled in her eyes. When she glanced up at Charles, he was no longer sitting across from her, but was knelt beside her.
     
    “Mila I love you so much.” He took her hand. “My life has been nothing but happiness and excitement since you came into it. I love the time we spend together and I would love nothing more than to share the rest of my life with you.” And then the words came.
     
    “Mila Santinni, will you marry me?”
     
    Mila was speechless for all of twenty seconds. “Yes, Yes, a thousand times yes.”
     
    She fell into his arms and began to kiss him, tears and all. She had never been so happy in her life.
     
    The minutes after--hours perhaps--were a blur. Mila was floating on a cloud. He proposed! Proposed! She couldn’t wait to tell her mom!
     
    It was only then that she noticed her surroundings—she was in an elevator going up to the room with her fiancé. My fiancé, she gushed as she sounded the word out in her mind.
     
    “So you were confident I would say yes huh?” She punched him playfully in the side.
     
    “Of course. Who wouldn’t want to spend their life with this?” A grin hung on the corner of his mouth.
     
    Mila tried to punch him again but he evaded her easily and grabbed her by the waist. Pulling her in, he kissed her--a deep searing kiss that sent her heart racing and ignited a fire deep within her..
     
    When they got into the room, the sight took Mila's breath away. There were candles set at intervals along the
