Gift Wrapped My Mate For Her Novels & Stories

“So much has happened and I happened to forget.” I take a breath as deliberate as possible. My body is shaking with rage and disbelief. Matteo clears his throat again. “I thought you might like—” he gestures to the bag. “Something to celebrate.” I step back instinctively, crossing my arms. My voice is just above a whisper, but every word is sharp. “Thank you,” I say. “But I appreciate it if you gave your girlfriend the gift instead. I have more than enough.” He blinks, surprise etched on his expression. And for a split second, vulnerability crosses his eyes.

They’re already asking when our mating ceremony will be, but Brady quickly dismisses them, stating that I can make that choice whenever I want. Our friends and family sit nearby for dinner before the omegas begin bringing my gifts. I unwrap each one, thanking the giver each time to show my gratitude. The final gift is a beautiful box with a silk ribbon. “That’s from me.” Brady smiles. I open the box to the most beautiful matching set. Opals and diamonds glitter inside, masterfully placed in a gorgeous design.

“Isn’t this the type of things you give to a girlfriend?” She raised an eyebrow. “True, and you probably have more than enough gifts from your boyfriend.” And he pointed at the bracelet on her wrist. “StilI, I know you like these pretty things.” Her drawer was full of expensive presents from Mateo, but she’d never use them unless he asked her to. To him, Valeria was just a pretty doll to play with or to show off to his friends. The bracelet was actually a present from her mother when she’d been placed as an honor student at the end of last year.

She gave me a sad smile and hugged me one last time leaving my room. After she left ,I changed out of my uncomfortable clothes and got dressed in to my grey sweats and a black hoodie and grabbed the necklace inside my drawer. Jack had given me the most romantic first date I have ever had, but he had also given me a reminder of what I had lost. The pain in my heart and body got intense from overthinking about my mate I didn't realize the moment i fell asleep holding jack riders precious gift which "the big bad wolf princess " was written on it,as I held it closer to my chest like it was jack rider himself.

"Please accept the congratulations of the werewolf nation on your marriage." I smiled and nodded as I got my wind back. "Thanks," I said. "You enjoyed our gift?" He looked at Charlotte with clear expectation as I wracked my brain for what he had sent us. The gift unwrapping happened a few days ago in a flurry of other people standing around watching me decimate wrapping paper while overwhelmed with the need to be anywhere but there at that moment. Which meant I already forgot what Liam and I received. Though I was sure I saw Shenka scrawling things in a notebook, hadn't I? Which meant thank you cards would have to go out.

I don't know if I did the right thing by telling her, but guilt was eating me alive, and I needed to take it out of my chest. I don't know why I feel this way; Charlotte has been my girlfriend for years now. I should be happy that we will finally mark and mate with each other and that we will live under the same roof for the rest of our lives together. For the love of God, I rejected my fated mate for her sake. So what are you hesitating about? Why are those sad blue eyes still hunting me? I took out her gift for my 18th birthday; I'm still keeping it, and I don't know why. It's a golden watch, and my name and hers are engraved on it.

"Not one thing I gave her. Not one gift. It's all still here. She really didn't care about any of this? But why? She’s a rogue. She could have taken some of this stuff. It’s worth money in the human world." His gaze fell upon the jewelry box, its contents untouched. In a haze, Gabriel's trembling hand reached inside and retrieved a delicate diamond tennis bracelet. The significance of the gift struck him, its weight on his heart unbearable. He had given it to her on their one-year mate bond anniversary. It had cost a small fortune. Why hadn’t she taken it with her?

,many gasped as I looked at her distraught. "baby...",she looked at our member sadly. "I made it and I got through it and I got a second mate and he was funny, sweet and one of the greatest mates a she wolf could get. He stood by us and loved us. He brought the sweetest little boy I ever laid eyes on and I love both so much. I know I'm not her but I love more than she ever would. I got the gifts she threw away and I cherish them",she motioned to both packs and Liam. I wanted to fuck her again.

She squealed in glee, letting everyone inside the hall know that this kid was both her brother and my mate. How fucked up could life get? "Mate?" He echoed, finally recovering from the shock of finding his first ever mate. Silvia disengaged the hug and stared at both of us, with pure wide eyed shock, still processing what was occuring. "You...you two are mates?" She fumbled, pointing at her brother then at me. I was just about to open my mouth and deny everything, when my father and Silvia's parents rushed into the scene, at the sound of the M word.

he winked and elbowed me a bit, “you feel it too.” I nodded, taking in the information. I’d heard similar from others. But it was good to confirm anyway. I didn’t have any of the other symptoms of the mate bond. While it was practically electrifying to touch her, I wasn’t sure I felt physical sparks. And while she did seem to wear her heart on her sleeve, making it simple to interpret what she was likely feeling, I couldn’t say I’d actually felt her emotions. Either way, I did have to thank her. I wasn’t sure I understood the choice of gift, but she must have had a good reason to believe we needed the bras she’d gifted to my pack.
