My life has been crazy these past couple of weeks. After my plan was approved by the council, I got my ass to work and that has helped tremendously with my broken heart.Burying myself in work means I don’t have enough time to think about Asheron kissing other girls or Cain most definitely doing the same thing in Amsterdam. All I can think about is work, work, work. I want to make this project perfect so my people can find their mates… or just fall in love with someone. Whoever. We always need more marriages and more babies at the end of the day.But today is finally the day of the ceremony.If it goes perfect, that means the council will approve the Interpack Mating Ceremony as something we do every year. I have a good feeling about it, so I get out of bed with enthusiasm and when I go down to have breakfast with my dad, I hug him from behind. He’s the ONLY man worthy of my love and devotion, the only man who could never disappoint me. “Good morning, baby, are you excited?” he a
I’m incredibly nervous, and it only gets worse when the guests start arriving. It finally becomes real and I know anything could happen. Both good or bad.By the time the clock hits eight pm, three hundred and eighty-three people from the five packs in the country are gathered in my front yard. These are the singles interested in finding their fated mate. It’s not as many as I expected, but it’s more than enough for this first ceremony. I wait for all the council members to arrive… which means the two people I least want to see are right here, standing behind me as I approach the microphone to start this.I wish I hadn’t noticed, but Asheron looks incredibly handsome today. He’s wearing one of the suits that I gifted him. It’s a dark blue one, because I love how his light eyes pop with that color. Wearing that specific suit ls a low blow, to be honest. He could have worn anything else today I also noticed that Cain’s head is no longer in a buzz-cut (thank god) his shiny light brow
The couple finally stops kissing and they both hug me. The girl is crying and her face feels wet when she presses it against my neck, but I don’t mind. I’m very happy.I ask them where they’re from. The guy is from the Manelik pack and the girl is from the Kallistar pack. See? This beautiful union wouldn’t have happened if it weren’t for me! Now the council won’t have any choice but to accept this as something we do constantly. They have to.I chat with the lucky couple for a few more seconds, but then I return to my own table. And as I’m walking there, I look at every single man like a hawk, waiting for my own third mate, since the two I used to have are sons of bitches. Literally, in Asheron’s case.And speaking of him, I make eye contact with him by accident and the way my heart pounds almost makes me trip, but I manage to save myself and look forward again, as if I don’t care about his existence. But I totally notice that he’s sitting around two men, and honestly, I like that.{
I try my fucking hardest to engage in conversation with Justin’s friends, but my stupid brain is not wired correctly. I can’t put my attention to things I don’t care about, like their conversation about which girl around here they want to fuck the most. My treacherous eyes move back to Georgie just five minutes later… and I see she’s not here anymore. That sets off all my alarms and forces me to stop pretending I don’t care. My heart starts beating hard against my chest and my wolf perks up, feeling like something isn’t right. She could be in danger. “Cain, where the fuck are you going?” my brother asks, but I ignore him and I walk, pushing bodies out of my way while I search for Georgie near the last place I saw her, but she’s not here. I look around for a while, starting to lose my patience… and then I finally see her.Walking next to the guy with the happy hands, one of which is still placed in her lower back. Her bare lower back. They’re walking away from the party, towards
Good, that’s good. Asheron will stop whatever nonsense is going on.I take a deep breath trying to stop the jealousy that was eating me inside out, but even though I try to go back to the party and stay away from this situation that has nothing to do with me… I lose the battle two minutes later.I curse myself before jogging after Asheron. I just have to make sure Georgie is alright. Princess Georgette Colucci is the quintessential good girl, I know deep down she would never do something like leave a party she threw to go hook up with someone other than her mate. Her two mates. But I just want to make sure that guy is not forcing himself on her or something. Maybe I didn’t see her smiling… maybe she was crying.“Check the kitchen,” Asheron orders and we split, looking for them through the palace… the very empty palace. With every empty room we enter and check, my heart races faster and my wolf gets more than ready to come out and fuck shit up. The options of where they could be ar
That catches me so off guard, I stumble with my words a bit.“I di— I hav— How—“Georgie mimics me childishly and she looks so ridiculous doing it that it almost makes me laugh... except I can’t because I know I'm in trouble. Georgie knows exactly the kind of things I've done in Amsterdam. I've told her that I go there with sex as the main goal, usually. I’ve given her extreme details. This time it wasn't like that, obviously, but I don't think she'll believe me."How do you know I was there?" I ask, because I know Justin didn't tell her, but Justin and my parents are the only ones who know I went there. Georgie's cheeks turn red with embarrassment but she holds my gaze, "You checked my location, didn't you?""That doesn't matter," she spits out and shakes her head and points at me, "The point here is that YOU left me and ran off to fuck other people. And then YOU left me and ran off to kiss other girls. So both of you can FUCK OFF! And if I want to kiss another man, I can."“Oh, yea
“Okay,” Georgie whispers what feels like a million years later. I let out a relieved breath and my heart beats again… probably for the first time since I left her palace weeks ago. She looks at Cain, “Do you want to do it?”“Me?” He asks, suddenly nervous. Cain can’t keep his composure to save his fucking life, “Yes.”“Are you sure?”"I'm sure, Georgette, why wouldn't I be?" he asks, with a bite behind his words. I close my eyes and take a deep breath. These two are beyond help."I don't know, aren't we too boring for you? I mean, we're just two people, not twelve," Georgie lets out, and I can't help but stare at her in wonder. I had never really seen this side of her: immature, annoying, whiny... young. Georgie has always acted way beyond her years, until Cain came along and reverted her to a five-year-old girl. He's a four-year-old boy, by the way. And I'm seriously starting to get tired of their bickering because I’m most definitely an old soul. "Shut your mouth, Georgie," Cain
{Georgette}Luckily, they both stop the fight before it even begins and turn to look at me in silence, waiting for what I have to say. I clear my throat."We need to go back to the party. We've been away for way too long," I begin. Asheron eyes narrow and Cain frowns deeply."No, Georgie, you promised we..." "But what about the...""God, shut up and let me talk!" I interrupt them, making them fall silent again, "We can't do anything right now anyway. I don't have condoms and I'm not on birth control ever since my mate died… you know, before he came back to life as a cheater."Asheron clenches his jaw but keeps his mouth shut while thinking."We'll pull out," Cain says easily, earning equally sharp looks from both me and Asheron, "What? The pull out method has always worked for me."I glare at him, my hands clenching in anger just thinking about him with other girls, fucking them like that. "As far as you know. There could be a hundred half-werewolf half-human kids out there," Ashero
