Chapter 236 - 236 Gifts for Others

"I decided that it was a good day to go shopping. I heard that there was a commotion and I caught wind of your name. I came to check on my niece. Hmph." Claudia dropped her arms to her side and Sophia finally stepped up.

Yuki looked at Sophia and then hugged Cedric, Did they catch that man? I sure hope that they did. He did not need to try and attack me." Yuki buried her face into his c.h.e.s.t and started to fake cry.

Cedric patted her on the back. "That man has been dealt with and you can finish shopping in peace if you want. As for your concern, Claudia, it is unnecessary. Go back to what you were doing. Rollin is here to guard Yuki as I caught the guy responsible already. Seriously, some werewolves are so food-obsessed." He shook his head and bent down to kiss her on the cheek.

"Fine, I can see that my company is not wanted here. I expect a full report on the matter so make sure that you give it to me on Monday." Claudia glared at Cedric before leaving the book store.

"Liliana, how did you know my name? I do not remember introducing myself to you." Rollin looked at Yuki confused.

"Your Manager tag had your name on it when you helped the human girl to the counter. Again I am sorry for the trouble." Yuki finished moving the rest of the books that she had found and looked at Cedric.

Cedric watched as she continued to pick out the books. "We will get most of these shipped to the house. Royce is there and will place all these books in the room I have set aside for your reading material."

That is of course no issue for us. I can personally deliver the books to your place tomorrow morning. I have to travel that way because of the full moon coming in a few days." Rollin nodded and looked at the couple.

"Okay, then I will allow you to do so. I will let Royce know that you are on your way. He will do everything in his power to get you back on the road faster." Cedric held out his hand to Rollin. "If you ever decide to quit working here I would welcome you into my place. I can never have too much security."

Rollin took Cedric's hand and smiled. "I will keep that in mind. I can understand why you might need more help, I mean with a beauty like that to guard. If I do not find my mate this time, then you will hear from me."

"Sounds good to me old friend. I know that you have been looking for a while and how frustrating that can be. I hope for your happiness but if it does not work out you are always welcome to come and join me at my house. You never know if the one you were hunting for was closer to my place." Cedric smiled and turned to Yuki and saw that she was smiling.

"It is nice to know that there are still some beings of the night that are still respectful. I will also welcome you. I do not know when you will find your partner but I can sense that there is someone for you." Yuki moved more books to the cart then looked and made sure that she did not miss any that seemed interesting.

"I will not lose hope if that is what you are trying to convey. I know that in this lifetime there are some that lose hope and wind up alone. I am not a fool. I will heed what you said and keep looking. That is if you two are okay with that?" Rollin looked at the two.

"I will ask you for the name that you carry in your heart another time. There might be ears listening and that is something that I am not willing to take right now." Yuki pushed the almost full cart to the guys. "I am all done now."

Cedric looked at Yuki before pulling her away from the cart and into a hug. "Just what am I going to do with you? Always getting into trouble."

Yuki looked up into his eyes. "I don't know but what I do know is that you will love me for the rest of our lives together." She reached up and touched his cheek.

"I will take the cart to the counter and let the poor girl that is waiting to ring in the rest of the books. I have to reopen the store now that the body has been removed." Rollin took the cart and went and pushed it to his worker and then proceeded to open the store back up.

"I will love you and only you and that is why I am cutting ties with some people and letting you have your way with others. There are some that will want to see you again but I know that you will not remember them and they know that. Elena is someone you like a lot and you had a habit of gifting her tea, whereas you would give Naomi a sweet treat." Cedric thinks about what she would give these two when they popped into their lives.

"Oh! Then I want to get gifts for both of them. Thankfully you remember what I used to buy them. I do not want to see them empty-handed if I used to give them gifts. Naomi lives with us now and I will buy a gift for her first but I should get the one for Elena as well as tea is something that will not go bad in a few days." Yuki her hand on a shelf and taps her fingers on it.

"How about we pick up the tea on our way home so that way it will be fresher? I do agree with picking up a sweet for Naomi but do not forget that we have others in the ship now." Cedric watched as she started to think about everything.

Yuki took his hand and started to walk to the checkout. "I think that everyone will be happy with sweets, well except for Claude. Big Brother is more into regular food but that is okay I am sure that I can find something for him."

"I am sure that he will accept whatever you bring him. Lyla is the one that I am not sure about. She is a new individual in our lives." Cedric followed her without asking any questions.

They made it to the counter and Yuki handed over Cedric's card as the girl was almost done scanning everything. "Are you doing okay?"

"Yes, thank you for your concern. Rollin was able to bring back here safely and I sat on the ground scanning the first books you picked out." The girl smiled and looked at the two supernaturals in fascination.

"Are you not used to seeing our kind here? Cedric asked as he handed her his points card.

"Ummm, I am new to this job. So in a way, I am not used to it but I did get an explanation at the beginning." The girl took the card and her hand was shaking a little.

Yuki touched her hand. "I am sorry that I scared you. I do not attack anyone unless I am instigated. You do not need to worry. I will not do anything to hurt you." Yuki patted the girl's hand. "Your manager took good care of you."

The girl started blushing and started to relax a little. "Thank you and I forgive you. I heard what he said. I was worried that a beauty like would not be able to survive." She took her hand back and scanned the points card and slid it back. She was going to say the total but saw the black card and her eyes sparkled. "This is my first time seeing this card."

Yuki saw a candy stick and picked it up. "I will pay for this separately."

"Those cards are not very common so it is not surprising that you have not seen one before." Cedric left the points card and looked at Yuki. ~A gift?~

~Mmmmmmhmmmmm. It is for the girl. She is shaken up and sugar is good to help with that don't you think, Master?~ Yuki smiled at the girl and watched as she swiped the black card.

The girl finished swiping the card and the receipt printed. "I just need a signature from you, Sir."

Cedric stepped up and sighed the receipt that she was holding out and he passed Yuki a ten-dollar bill to pay for the candy stick. ~Would you like me to cast a calming spell on the candy?~

~Oh! That is a lovely idea.~ Yuki disconnected from Cedric and reached out to Rollin. ~Rollin, I want you to know that Cedric is going to cast a calming spell on a candy stick I am buying for the girl that rang in our order. I think it will help her.~ She nodded her head at Cedric and was holding the ten-dollar bill he had slipped into her hand.
