“Princess Arya visits her cousins sometimes and she’s lovely, no need to worry,” Juanita said as if reading my mind. I decided to get ready in time. We picked out a stunning black backless dress with thin straps and heels. Catia let my hair cascade down my back and we did my makeup just how I like it.
I went downstairs and found the alpha there, he was in pants and a dress shirt. He glanced at me and asked;
“Ready?” I nodded and we went outside to the car. The car ride was silent, the Alpha was looking at his phone while I looked out the window, the lights were mesmerizing to watch at night. The car stopped at a high-class restaurant, and Alpha Edward helped me out.
The owner of the restaurant was there to welcome us and was pleased to have us. She took us to another part of the restaurant and there we found a couple sitting closely and talking. They stood to their feet.
“Edward!” Princess Arya called and hugged him.
“And you must be Caliana, oh my goddess, your picture didn’t do justice,” She beamed and hugged me.
“Edward, omg she’s gorgeous,” Alpha Edward only smirked at her and I wondered how close he was to her.
Princess Arya was even prettier in person.
“Hi Caliana, I’m Arya and this is my mate, Jacob,”
“Hello, it’s nice to meet you Princess Arya, Alpha Jacob,” I politely said.
“Oh. no just call me Arya,” I nodded, Arya was jolly.
The chef interrupted us and asked what we were getting, and they all placed their order except me, I didn’t know what to get because I wasn’t even hungry.
“I’ll have a chicken salad,” I said. We all continue to talk, while the Alphas talk about packs and business, Arya and I have a little girly chat. She is twenty-three years old and has triplets, two boys and a girl. She even showed me pictures, as all mothers do. She suddenly gasped, getting the men’s attention to us, I furrow my eyebrows
“What? Edward, you didn’t mark her!” She exclaimed. My hand instinctively flies to my marking spot on my neck, Alpha Edward didn’t mark me because he doesn’t want me and marking will take a relationship to a higher level. We shall be one.
“Wait until someone steals her from you,” Alpha Jacob laughed and Arya agreed, a dark aura exuded from the Alpha and I shifted in my seat however, the two ignored it or were used to it as they continued to tease the Alpha about someone stealing me away. A growl erupted from my mate’s lips and I jumped
“Stop, Arya,” His voice was low but we heard.
“Fine, you’re no fun,” The Lycan Princess sighed.
“And why didn’t you send anything after the triplets were born? I told you about it,”
“I sent a card and flowers, didn’t you receive them?”
“That’s not enough.” She said,
“What was I supposed to send,”
“I don’t know… An actual present, you dummy,”
Our food came and we started to eat, there was harmony among us. We were laughing as Arya talked about their mischiefs as kids. I dared a glance at my Alpha, he smiled at me and it warmed my heart and soul, how I wished it was always like this between us but it isn’t, hence I won’t be holding my breath. Tomorrow he shall be back to being as cold as he is.
Caliana’s POV
The dinner was delightful and Arya is such a beautiful soul, they have been in the pack for two days already and had to leave tomorrow morning because they can’t leave their kids for too long with the nannies. After 10 pm, Princess Arya suggested we go to a club, and we all agreed. I don’t like drinking because I’m an easy drunk and I didn’t want to kill the vibe. We got in the car and went to a nearby drinking place that Arya suggested.
“You and your ratchet places,” My mate said, frowning at the building. It was a huge club with different lights hovering over us.
“They are so much fun!” She screamed, pulling me to the bar. The bartender winked and gave us shots on the house because we were pretty. I grimaced as I gulped it but Arya frowned
“We didn’t make a toast, you finally tied my cousin down,” She winked, oh… If only she knew. The bartender gave us more and we toasted and this time, we drank at the same time. The men finally joined us and it was a full party. I was drinking my favorite cocktail, poison ivy while Arya and the men took tequila shots.
“Okay, Okay, I’d like to make a toast again,” Arya started, staggering a bit but her mate caught her in his arms.
“I want to toast to my favorite cousin, thank you for having us, goddess knows we needed this with the new babies and all,” She smiles at me ” And Caliana, you are the coolest and best girl ever, and I hope to see you soon but this time, we shall host you.. so here’s to LIFE AND LOVE!” She shouted and we all clicked glasses and drank our beverages.
At this moment, we were happy, all of us and for the first time, my mate looked at me like a mate should, he pulled me closer to him and kissed my shoulder. I don’t know if it’s the alcohol that was making him so touchy but I didn’t care, I just loved this, us. I was slowly moving my body to the music that was playing and his hands were on my waist. Arya and Jacob went to the dancefloor to dance, Alpha Edward spun me around and buried his face in the crook of my neck, inhaling my scent.
By the time we decided to leave the club, I could barely open my eyes and walk straight, so my Alpha carried me to the car.
“You are drunk,” He said, amused. I was drunk, so whatever I do or say will get a pass. I smirked and straddled him, looking him in the eyes.
“Why do you hate me, Alpha?” He was quiet, he raised his hand to caress my cheek softly, and tingles erupted on my skin. I closed my eyes, leaning into his huge warm hand.
“I can’t be with you… In the way women want,”
“What is it that women want?” I ask softly.
“Love… affection they can take advantage of,”
I raised my eyebrows, It didn’t make sense to my drunk mind, why would one take advantage of love? His love.
“But I’m your mate,”
“Please don’t say that,” He snapped and I almost got off him but he held me down. I slowly reached his lips to kiss him, I thought he would move away but he didn’t. We shared a kiss that was kind and passionate.
“Then why did you marry me,” I question, out of breath after our make-out.
“I didn’t want to!”
“Oh,”
“Your family was scared that we wouldn’t give them the money they need so they put it in the contract and my brother told me it was a good idea, just in case,” He confessed without flinching. ‘ I didn’t want to,’ Those words rang in my head and tears filled my gaze but I couldn’t cry, not when we were this close and in this position.
“I’m your mate, Alpha,”
“Say my name,” He suddenly asked.
“Alpha Edward,” I obliged.
“No, say my name,” He repeated.
“Ed… Edward,” I had never said it out loud without adding his title. He was pleased and connected his lips to mine, the kiss was long, and his lips went to suck and nibble it. I moaned in ecstasy. My fingers touched him where I could and the sparks were overwhelming. My core was throbbing, wanting his cock in me badly, the car stopped and he hurriedly opened the door, I locked my thighs around his waist and we kissed our way upstairs to his bedroom. Once in the bedroom, he threw me on the bed there while he discarded his clothing, I did the same to mine, drunk. I was not shy. Edward was standing in front of me with his full erection and I got out of bed, naked, and touched him gently. He grunted and grabbed my neck, caressing it as he once again pushed me onto the bed. He hovered over me and slid into my already wet pussy.
