"Now that that's done, you have to move in here fully and be mine." Alpha Dimitri's words kept on ringing in my head, as I continued staring into his eyes. I really expected that and I knew that he was going to say that, I just didn't expect it to be immediately. "Are you okay?" He asked me, his hands trailing down my back. I snapped out of my thoughts and tried backing away from him, but it seemed like he trapped me with his hands. I looked up to see him staring sheepishly at me. I tried curving my trembling lips into a smile, but I kept on looking stupid. That, I was sure of. "Yeah, yeah. I'm fine." I lied, looking away from him. My eyes scanned everywhere and I was a bit relieved to see that we were alone in the hall. Every other person already left. How did I not notice that? I asked myself, as I tried focusing on Dimitri, on what he was saying to me. "I haven't gotten an answer." He narrowed his eyes at me, and pulled me even closer when we were already too close.
I felt my mother's hand on my shoulder, as I said my answer. She turned me around to face her. She smiled at me, but I didn't return it. " I understand. It's fine. With time, you definitely will." She assured me, but I moved away from her because I didn't agree with that. "No, mother. I'm not interested in loving anybody, okay?" She nodded at me and walked to my wardrobe. She opened it and started taking out my clothes. I bit my lower lip to stop myself from crying, before I walked towards her to join her to pack my luggages. ********** When we were done with packing everything that I owned in my room, I excused myself from the room. I had to speak to Selene before I left for Dimitri's house. So, I mind linked her to meet me in my house in a few minutes and she answered immediately. I went back to my room, to see my mother trying to get them outside. I sighed and helped her take everything outside, not replying to anything she said because I didn't even hear half of the th
Alpha Dimitri gripped the knob and he slowly pushed the door. He strolled in and I followed suit. When I got in, my eyes slowly widened. The room was more beautiful than I imagined. "This is nice."I simply said to Dimitri and he quickly glanced at me, nodding his head. "So, where is yours?" I asked him and he scanned my face for a while before parting his lips to answer, "um, yeah. It's the last one on this side of the house, a few feet away from us. You are welcome anytime. The door's always going to be open for you." He moved closer and wrapped his hands around me, while staring deep into my eyes. I gulped and tried looking away, but he settled his plan on my face. "Why do you always act like you're scared of me, huh? You don't have to act like that, okay. You should be free with me because I'm yours." He slightly bent his head, and raised my head to meet his lips. His mouth captured mine and he started kissing me. I kissed him back and pulled away from him a few
Seeing me around much? It was my turn to frown, because I didn't understand what he meant. I silently dropped my fork and raised my head to meet his gaze. I really had to understand what he was driving at. "Um,, alpha...Dimitri?" He also raised his head to look at me. Dalia's eyes were also fixed on me. "What did you mean by she wouldn't be seeing me around much? I'm just curious, because it sounds weird, like I'm leaving when I literally just got here." I laughed to make the air lighter and I felt better when they both joined me. "Oh, that. Dalia understands what I mean. She hasn't gotten her mate, and we really want her to. So, she might nice be home everytime, she needs a mate." When the last word left his mouth, I sighed and smiled at dalia. It wasn't serious and everything was fine. The rest of the dinner would have been so quiet if Dalia wasn't with us, because she kept on bringing different topics engaging me in a whole lot of convos. I was grateful for
One of the maids, whose name I just found out was Ashley, took out a dress that was given to me by my mother on my eighteenth birthday. I instantly jolted from the bed and went to her to snatch it from her. "What are you doing? This is pretty special." My hands ran over the beautiful designs of the dress, the beads and lacy attachments. The dress was just royalty to me. "We thought that'd be a great dress to wear. We are truly sorry." She slowly bowed and her partner, Nali, followed suit. I nodded my head and they continued. A few minutes later, they took out a yellow dress and I instantly agreed to wear it. It was neither too much nor too shabby. It was just...perfect. "The bath's ready!" Lima, the third maid, announced and Nali and Ashley's eyes instantly settled on me. They led me to the table in front of a big mirror and started helping me undress. I had never done that before; I had never allowed anyone to help me undress, so I knew that it was going to b
I was shocked by the question Dalia asked me. What did she mean by that? I looked away from her and fixed my gaze somewhere else, because I was feeling a bit weird. "Don't worry, you can tell me." She urged, shaking my hands to face her. After avoiding her gaze for a few seconds, i finally faced her and without smiling, I said, "I don't know." Even though I knew that I didn't love Dimitri that way, I just didn't want to tell Dalia like that. So, she wouldn't feel weird about it. She narrowed her eyes at me, trying to see if I was lying. "I'm telling the truth, Dalia. I honestly don't know. I mean, we just became mates. Let's see what has to unfold later, right?" I tried smiling at her, but it didn't work. I fixed my eyes somewhere else, when I felt like I was looking stupid. "Yeah, I understand." She finally said, and I replied with a smile. Things were getting a bit awkward and I just wanted Dimitri to come get me, so we'd be able to go to the meeting that we
Stole her man from her? I don't understand what Tamara was saying. My eyes were narrowed at her, as she crossed her hands on her chest. She looked so confident in what she was saying, and that was the annoying part of it all. "Sorry? Stole ? Who's your man? I had so many questions to ask her at the same time, but I decided to calm down and take it slowly. She glanced at her partner, and they chuckled before she fixed her eyes on me. "Oh, so now you want to pretend like you don't know that Alpha Dimitri is my man?" Alpha Dimitri? My mate? I stared at her like she had gone crazy, because it really looked like she had. I couldn't believe my ears at all. I wanted to believe that she was just joking with me, playing with my legs, but the look on her face was telling me otherwise. "What are you saying? You're joking right?" I also crossed my hands on my chest, staring at her Intently. She seemed so confident for someone who was just meeting me for the first time. It wasn't a
"Ask me? Okay, common. We'll discuss it on our way home." He glanced around, but I noticed his eyes lingered more on Tamara. I slowly turned my head to look at her, and she tilted her head and nodded her head, as if she was telling me that she really told me so. "Can we, um, have some privacy?" I glanced at the elders behind us, and Dimitri slowly nodded his head. He turned around and whispered something to one of the men there. The elders instantly murmured some words to alpha Dimitri, as they all left. The only people in the hall were Dimitri, Tamara and her friend, and myself. "Okay, what do you have to say, Alison?" I could see that he was trying so hard to avoid Tamara's gaze. I gulped down, and exhaled before parting my lips to speak. "Um...she told me that she knows you!" I blurted out, pointing towards Tamara. Immediately I did that, she started walking forward, smiling at Dimitri. He rolled his eyes and crossed his hands on his chest, but not before he glan
