Man size yummy salty French fries dance around, escaping my drooling mouth. Chasing after them, they hop away, screaming in terror. With my arms stretched out in front of me, I wrap my arms around a fry, tackling  it to the ground.

Biting into the screaming fry, salty deliciousness explodes in my mouth. Moaning, I take another bite.

Out of nowhere, a lawn mower with no one on it, runs over the screaming fries.

"My fries!"

I jump from my sleep, to hear the running off a lawn mower. Glancing at my clock, I see that it's seven in the morning.

Who in the hell runs a lawn mower at seven in the morning? Someone that wants to die, that's who!

Rolling off my bed, I grab my yellow robe and put on my Spongebob slippers.

Stomping down the stairs, I storm to the door, throwing it open. What I see on the green John Deer lawn mower has the anger evaporating for on the mower is the second hottest guy I have ever.

Long sandy blonde hair tied back into a ponytail at the back of his neck, a strong jaw, and pink lips. He's tan like a surfer and has the body of one, and beyond hot.

"That's Connor, he's my gardener." Aunty whispers in my ear causing me to scream and jump ten feet in the air.
"Aunty! I didn't hear you!" My heart is pounding in my chest, from the fright I just experienced.

The lawn mower stops, our heads snaps to Conner, whose climbing off of the lawn mower and heading our way.

I'm sure I'm drooling as I watch his shirt tightens over his muscles. I'm too busy drooling to realize he's in front of me looking straight at me.

"Like what you see?" His voice isn't cocky he's genuinely asking.

"Oh yes, I do!" I whisper, biting my bottom lip. 

"He's asking about the yard." Aunty bumps me with her hip.

"Oh, yeah, that too!" I blush red all over. Oh goddess, I could die now. That's so embarrassing!

"Conner, this is my nephew, Zry. He'll be staying for a while." Aunty smirks, she knows I'm attracted to him. Hell I'll be surprised if he didn't.

"A werewolf." Conner grins. "It's nice to meet you Zry."

Shocked, there's a reason he must know I'm a werewolf. Taking a deep breath I smell tiniest hint of magic .

"A witch!" I say shocked. "I've never met a witch before!"

"It's a pleasure to meet you Zry, the werewolf." He bows like a commoner does a queen. He just doesn't realize I am a queen by mating.

I giggle. "It's a pleasure, Conner, the witch."

"Come in Conner so my nephew and you can get to know each other." Aunty pushes us together. I crash into his chest, but he catches me.

Blushing dark red, I apologize, before hurrying in after Aunty. I know aunty is going to embarrass me, but I'm going to have to stop with the blushing.

Sitting at the counter, Conner sits beside me. Aunty pours us some delicious apple juice.

"So Zry why was you moaning this morning." Aunty ask asking all innocent.

Glaring with a blush on my face. "I was having a dream about chasing french fries."

Conner and aunty glance at me weirdly. I pout, crossing my arms. "What! I'm pregnant! I'm aloud to dream of food!"

"Pregnant? Then where's your mate? Only male can get pregnant by their dominate mate." Conner ask me taking a sip of the apple juice.

I glance down at the counter, not answering his question. I feel weak, not like weak in body, but mentally. I know my wolf is keeping my body healthy to carry our pup, but my mind is weak.

That's how I know he's reading my thoughts, not on purpose, but witches have powerful magic, only the powerful witches can do this though.

Conner's eyes are unfocused, staring straight at me with a sad smile on his face.

"I'm so sorry about what happened to you." Conner voice is thick with emotion.

He surprises me when he brings me to his chest. "Just know, it gets better."
"How do you know?" I question.

"I lost my mate. Only knew her for a week before she died of cancer. Every day is a struggle, but living becomes easier."

"You didn't hardly know your mate. I knew mine. I lived with him, loved him, felt him. Knowing I wasn't good enough for my mate, kills me inside every day."

I feel tears enter my eyes as I look him in the eyes. "It's a soul shattering pain."

Tears flow down his cheeks, as he gently grabs my cheek. "I feel your pain. It's crushing me."

Grabbing his hand, I lean into his touch, because for just a second, the pain crease to exist. I want to get to know this witch more, I know he can ease the pain of my heart and soul, he already healed me a little by his touch.

I think I'm going to get to know him more. I'll make it my mission.

Watch out Garden Boy, you don't know what's coming towards you.
