LOGINI smiled at Carson. He is handsome and caring and mine! We sat at a table with our friends, his brother and our future Alpha. We ate dinner, talked and laughed. After dinner, females came to our table to mingle. Each gave me a dirty look. That I was accepted as a friend by these men was obviously a source of jealousy. The girls flirted with the guys. Occasionally, one of the guys would ask a girl to dance. One girl, Vera, tried to get Carson's attention. She kept smiling at him and asking him questions. His focus was entirely on me. Vera was annoyed and jealous. She glared at me. Carson leaned towards me and said, "Would you like to dance?" Vera from Carson's other side said, "Carson, I would love to dance with you." Thomas laughed. "Vera, it's not going to happen. If you would like to dance with a Reid, ask Colm." Vera looked at Thomas and said softly, "Colm told me to go away.""I will dance with you if you like, but you have no shot with Carson." Thomas said. Vera frowned and w
Ang had told me she bought Celly a dress especially for tonight. She had planned to surprise her, but apparently Celly's Mom and Luna had also bought her a dress as a surprise. It made me happy that people loved my girl and wanted to do nice things for her. I smiled as I walked downstairs. Luna and Carla were talking in the entrance hall. I greeted them, bowing to Luna. "Ang said you bought Celly a special dress for this evening. Thank you." I smiled. "Gamma Carson, have you seen Celia in her dress?" Luna asked with a smile."Not yet. Ang said it was a surprise. Celly is in her suite getting ready. Ang asked me to wait here." I smiled, "I'm trying to be patient, but I am excited to see Celly and accompany her this evening." Eck said, 'You look like a fool with that dopey grin.' He laughed. 'Our girl is going to think you're silly.''Can't help it Eck. I want to give her the world and I'm excited to spend the Mates Dinner with her.'Michael and Colm came down the stairs laughing. Co
Celly frowned. "Ang, I want to prove the point to my Mom and Luna that I know Carson better than they do." I smiled. "Oh! Celly, I have an idea. Get dressed in the silver slut dress without a bra or panties, so it is exactly how your Mom and Luna want it. Call Carson and ask him to come see you at the Luna's office, but don't tell him why. Go down there in this dress and try one more time to convince Luna and your Mom this dress won't make Carson happy. Leave the door open so Carson can walk in." "Not exactly what I was thinking. My Mom and Luna are going to be waiting to see me at the entrance of the Mates Dinner. I want Carson to be waiting with them too. I want them to see how fast his expression changes when he sees this dress. I want them to see the burst of anger he will have and the look of disappointment on his face." Celly stepped into her closet and grabbed a pair of silver stiletto heels and tossed them on the bed. She went to her dressing table and got out ear cuffs and
My Mom and Luna asked me to try on the dress. I got up and undressed and put on the silver silk. Luna and Mom were looking at me as if I were a vision. I looked in the mirror. The pale color of the dress and my ivory complexion were very close. The slit on the side exposed the top curve of my hip when I walked. I was going to have to select my panties for tonight carefully if I wore this dress. The dress had a deep V neckline, so I would also need to select my bra carefully. I definitely wanted undergarments but had a feeling this dress was meant to be worn without a bra and panties. "Mom, this dress is so pale it matches my skin. I look like I'm naked." I said. "I don't mean to sound ungrateful, but this is not a dress I would ever choose to wear. I would prefer to wear the dress I picked out." My wolf said, 'Liar! You didn't pick out a dress.' I had actually selected a dress. I just hadn't said anything to anyone. "I want to wear the emerald green dress Carson bought me. He sai
Tonight was the full moon. I would attend my first Mates Dinner. As I worked, my Mom and Luna both kept smiling at me. Just before my scheduled time was over, Luna said, "Celia, please come into my office." My Mom stood up and walked into Luna's office. I followed her. I closed the door. My Mom was holding a garment bag. Both Luna and Mom were smiling. I bowed my head to Luna."Celia, tonight is your first Mates Dinner." Luna said."I know." I answered and bit my lip. "Aren't you excited?" My Mom asked."It's just a dinner." I said. Luna frowned. "Celia, tonight could be the start of the best adventure of your life." "What?" I asked confused."Tonight is the perfect time for Carson to announce your bond. I look forward to you and he asking for my blessing on your mate bond. Being mated is a great adventure." Luna said seriously. "I'm barely eighteen. I don't want to be mated and marked this young." I said softly. My Mom looked shocked."Celia, you are living with Carson. He is at
Celly and I found our days falling into a easy, happy rhythm. We spent our early mornings cuddling in our bed, practicing Celly's yoga routine, taking long runs together and then getting ready for work. We worked in the packhouse, Celly in the Luna's office and the school rooms while I was in the Gamma office or with Ashley. After work, we would spend time with Ang, Thomas and Derek either training the girls or in Beta Leo's library. Every night, Celly and I made love and then slept tangled up with each other. Celly still didn't sleep enough. I wished I had a way to make her get more rest. Eckley told me that her wolf woke her up and told her to push me away. Eck could hear her wolf most nights telling Celly horrible things about us. Knowing this, I tried harder to be exactly what Celly needed. Celly was happy but anxious. She refused to tell me why she was anxious. Our mate bond continued to strengthen and we talked through our bond randomly through the day. Mostly we said 'I love
Celia seemed happy. She hummed as we sat down for breakfast. She didn't really eat. "My dear, are you not hungry?""I don't normally eat much for breakfast. I usually just drink juice and then grab a protein bar and eat it mid-morning." "Ah. Well then, let's get started." I said pushing my plate a
I waited for Uncle Leo. I was feeling hopeful but nervous. Carson hadn't told me anything about what he and Leo spoke about. 'Because they are going to hide things from you.' My wolf said. 'Why do you think that?' I asked.'They won't want to scare you. They want you to stay and accept Carson.'
Beta Leo's story was sad. I understood why he didn't talk about his past. I'd wondered why he was unmated but never thought it was because his mate had left him. It scared me to think Celly might leave me. She seemed so happy recently. As I left this morning she kissed me and thanked me again for a
I paused, remembering how hard it had been. Those days when Emilia wouldn't even come to the door. When Ivar would apologize for her and beg me not to give up on her. I never considered giving up, I loved her too much. "We spent three months like that, me going to her house, her refusing to see me
