Chapter Five
Keisha's Pov
"This is where you would be sleeping make yourself comfortable get cleaned up there are clothes in the closet for you to wear when your done I'll call you down for dinner." Adrian said, thanks so much i said as he exist the room.
Looking around I notice how big the room is there is a king sized bed and and a walk in closet, there's also a reading desk and then the bathroom, just how rich is he.
"Yeah yeah I know the place is a mansion but be fast so we don't have to keep mate waiting, I can't wait to meet him and meet his wolf properly," Due said in my head. I know I know whatever dirty thoughts you have, please keep them at Bay and not jump on him. I'm not used to this kind of treatment and him yet and we are in the pack house sooner or later we have to meet with the whole pack members which I'm dreading so bad. "Don't worry things will be perfectly fine with our mate by our side and I'm here for you never forget that."
After talking with due I walk into the bathroom, oh my gosh! It's luxurious here. Stepping under the shower I take a strawberry soap gel, it smells so good strawberries have always been my favorite since I was little. I set the temperature of the water to lukewarm, the soap feels so nice on my skin. After washing myself I take the strawberry shampoo and wash my hair.
Coming out of the shower I tie a towel on my body and my hair, I walk to the closet and it's an actual walk in closet and is stuffed with a lot of clothes, not wasting time I take a ripped jeans and a hoodie with a sneakers and put them on, it's feels nice to have new and clean clothes on. Walking to dry my hair I can't stop thinking about who I will meet during the dinner. I hope they'll like me, done drying my hair I pack it in a bun.
Taking a deep breath I open my door and head downstairs, approaching the dining room, I hear voices and laugher coming from inside, I pause for a moment trying to calm my nerves then I take a deep breath and enter into the dinning room.
Entering into the dinning room I see Adrian and Leo talking and laughing with a girl who looks my age sitting beside Leo, maybe it's his sister.
The three of them turn to look at me as I enter, and Adrian stands up to come meet me.
"Keisha, you look beautiful," he says, smiling warmly at me, thank you I reply feeling my cheeks flush with embarrassment. "Come on, let me introduce you to the others," he said, taking my hands with him.
"Guys this is Keisha my mate, and Keisha this is Leo my beta bad best friend, you've already met him and this is Sophia my sister and Leo's mate."
"Oh my gosh it's so nice meeting you. I've longed for a sister and a friend beside these two for a very long time, we will click so well" Sophia said hugging me, it's nice knowing you, "welcome to the family" Leo said, thanks I'm glad.
As I sit down to eat I began to relax and enjoy the conversation, they are all nice and welcoming that I didn't even realize I told them a little about tho I can't open up completely with them yet since I just met them and I'm happy they didn't push too hard, just letting me tell them the basics and they seem genuinely interested about what I was saying, I'm glad I'm in a place where I feel welcomed.
After dinner, Adrian offered to show me around the pack house and currently we are at a garden. Wow this is really beautiful, "I know, I'm glad you like it this is where I'm to think all the time, my mom made this place and I can't wait for you to meet her she's really lovely and that's when your ready". I would love to meet her too but that's when I'm ready. As the night wears on, I began to feel tired. Adrian offers to walk me back to the pack house and my room, and i accepted gratefully. On our way back I saw some other pack members and I'm surprised by how friendly and welcoming everyone is, and I am starting to feel like I might actually fit in here.
Thanks for everything, for saving and bringing me here, and for showing me your garden I think it's going to be my best place here, I said smiling up at him.
"No problem it's my duty to protect what's mine and I hope one day you'll be able to tell me everything and I'm glad your here,"
He said with a smile of his own. I feel a sudden flutter in my chest at his words, ahh stupid mate bond I actually forgot about the bond and now I'm feeling all sort of this, i push the thought aside for now, I know I'll have to confront it eventually but I just got here let me get used to the place and people first.
As I reach my room, Adrian turns and takes my hand in his, which I'm getting used to, "Goodnight Keisha," he says softly his eyes searching mine, Goodnight I reply feeling a sudden rush of warmth at the contact. As I close the door behind me, I can't help but smile to myself. Maybe this new life won't be so bad after all.
Adrian's Pov
After dinner, I took Keisha around the pack showing her what it looks like and we ended at the garden which she really seemed to like. After she told me she was tired I offered to take her back to the pack as and her room, which she glady let me.
I feel a sense of relief and happiness wash over me. It's been a long time since I've felt this way, and it's all because of Keisha. I can't help but think about her and how much I want to protect her.
As we were going to her room she thanked me for everything, and told me that she's starting to feel like she might fit in here. I could see the genuine gratitude in her eyes, and it makes me feel even more protective of her.
After saying goodnight to each other
I took her hand in mine and gave it a gentle squeeze before turning to leave. As I walked away, I couldn't help but feel like my life will change for the better since Keisha is here and the relief I've felt since she stepped into the pack house, and I know there's a lot that's been going on in her past I really hope she tells me soon, but j can't help but smile to myself for having a beautiful mate like her, as I drift off to sleep.
Hearing my alarm I wake up turning it off, hoping to take my bath because I can't wait to see my beautiful mate this morning and eat breakfast with her.
As I step out of the shower, I feel a sense of excitement wash over me. Today I get to see my beautiful mate again. I quickly dry off and get dressed, eager to start my day.
As I make my way to the kitchen, I can't help but think about all the things I want to say to her. I've been waiting for this moment for what feels like an eternity, and I don't want to waste a single second of it.
As I enter the kitchen, I see her sitting at the table, her hair falling in soft waves around her face. She looks up and smiles at me, and my heart skips a beat. I can't believe how lucky I am to have her as my mate.
We sit down to eat breakfast together, and I can feel the warmth of her presence next to me. We talked about our plans for the day and she said she's going to be hanging out with Sophia for a while. I have some pack duties with Leo I have to cover up, sure you're going to be okay? "Yes I'll be fine hanging out with Sophia for a while", right that's better but if you need anything just tell Sophia to call me I said as we finished our breakfast and I can't help but feel grateful for this moment. I know that no matter what happens, I will always cherish this time with her.
I sit in my chair and I'm already missing her presence around me, her intoxicating scent I can't get enough of us, it's only the second day and I'm reacting like this, gosh what is she already doing to me, I really can't wait to finish this and go spend time with her.
I really had fun writing this chapter, I hope you are ready for the next chapter because I can't wait
CHAPTER TWENTY My wolf growled in my head at the mention of her death and I reassured him that we would never let it happen, the last thing I need right now is an angry wolf prowling around in my head. You have a pack now Keisha, a pack that will save you till their last breath, I whispered as I looked down to see her eyelids had closed and her breathing had slowed down. She was asleep. Keisha’s Pov I genuinely believe that she too was a messenger of the moon goddess, why else would someone want to harm her and tip me away from my family? I looked over to my right to see that Adrian was still fast asleep on the other side of the bed, oblivious to the thoughts that were racing through my mind. We had kind of just kept the sleeping arrangements since the other night when I asked him to sleep next to me . We both stubborn and refused to let the other sleep on the sofa so why bother continuing the fight at all if we both knew the other wouldn’t be giving in any time soon. I didn’t ha
Chapter Nineteen Leo was quite after and quickly snapped the book shut with a flick of his wrist, obviously finished with the extract he was reading from. Well what else does it say? I asked as I looked at the book and then at Leo again, expecting there to be more about my Keisha and what she is. The more I knew about her the more I could protect her. Adrian’s Pov All Leo did was shake his head and shrug his shoulders. “ That's it, it just goes about the standard transformation of a wolf after that, but nothing else about the moonstone eyes or what a messenger is capable of. I may have to do some serious digging to find out what a messenger actually is, but I’m hoping we’ll have something in the pack's library somewhere,” he sighed. I nodded my head and took a sneak peek over my shoulder to make sure she was still eating and sighed when I saw that she had finished her soup. Well whatever you need you have alright? I want to get to the bottom of this, I started hoping he knew that
He was stroking this thumb across my waist and once again his touch sent sparks through my body. If I die of a heart attack I’m pretty sure it’s gonna be because of these little moments. Keisha’s POV I was still staring into his eyes and this time he broke the silence. “We should get ready, you gotta look for your clothes.” He says and takes a step away from me Why, why must you do this to me? Why must thou step away from this special moment to look for my stupid clothes. My wolf missed being in his arms. But I do need my stupid clothes. It’s a Sunday which means it’s Sophia and Leo’s day out and meaning I have to spend 3 days with Adrain’s mum in her chambers, she’ll be helping me with the powers I have and what I am and I’m not to tell a soul not even Sophia. I don’t know how Sophia is going to take this, I mean I consider her as my best friend and now I’m going to be hiding this important information from her, I hope she takes it well when I tell her about everything. Adria
Chapter Seventeen Keisha’s Pov God I love his eyes. His eyes, his beautiful brown eyes I could stare into them all day and I still will be hypnotized by them. And his hair, the way it looks like he just rolled out of bed, his dark brown hair that always looks good, I bet it’s soft too. “Try going back to sleep okay? Adrian said and I noticed that it’s still dark outside, I gave him a small nod and lay back down on the bed. Adrian pulls me into his arms again and I feel and I feel his warm embrace already making me feel better. God he smells so good. He starts to draw a circle on my back and at this point I’m sure I’m not going back to sleep but I sure as hell don’t want this moment to end. I feel so safe in his arms, like nothing can happen to me as long as Adrian is by my side. I’m snapped out of my thoughts when Adrian talks to me. “You know you can talk to me about anything, right?” He said, almost whispering. I know, I say. “It's just I don’t want you to feel like you can’t
Chapter SixteenKeisha’s PovMommy?“Wait for me at your uncle's house, okay baby?” She said, clearing the hair out of my face while the tears ran down her face freely.I looked at my dad, I could see the hurt, anger through his eyes. He looks at me and shows nothing but rage, anger and pure disgust but it wasn’t towards me.Mommy what’s going on? I asked and started crying as a single tear rolled down my fathers cheeks.“Don’t worry, everything’s gonna be okay” she said as she took me in her arms and ran her hands up and down my back. She pulled away and whipped my tears with her thumb.“Wait for mommy at your uncle's place, okay?” She said, giving me a sad smile.Don’t leave me, please. I couldn’t control my sobs anymore, tears streamed uncontrollably down my face as I held my moms hands. “ Keisha” she said in a hoarse voice, “I’ll always love you no matter what, remember that and promise me that you’ll be happy” she took my hands and gave it a weak squeeze.And that’s when I heard
Chapter fifteen Keisha’s Pov “Why don’t you live with your parents, Keisha? He kept asking the same question over and over again. “Where are your parents, why don’t you live with them? Do you still talk with your parents? I start breathing fast and heavy because it feels as if my lungs aren’t getting enough air. Adrian notices and gets up from his chair. “That’s enough, dad.” Adrian said in a stern voice . “I’m just asking her a question, Adrian”. And it all starts coming back. The flashbacks, the pain, what I’ve been trying to forget for the past 8 years, what I’ve been trying to run away from, and suddenly I can’t breathe. “Well clearly it isn’t just a question” Adrian says and rushes over to me. He took my hands in his and intertwined our fingers. “This interrogation thing that you're doing is over, come on Keisha we are leaving.” I got up and left my breathing still fast and heavy, I was starting to get dizzy. Adrian I can’t breathe, I said as I squeezed his hands tighter, m
