Marriage First, Mate Second Chapter 31 : Mate Bond
"Do we have to go," I ask Levi, watching him finish fixing his tie. "We'll stir up more rumors if we miss than if we go," he assures me.I breathe in slowly, knowing he's telling the truth.I take an emerald and diamond bracelet and put it on. It matches my dress and my eyes. I've chosen it carefully to make sure I make the best possible impression.Levi wears a black suit with a green vest that matches my outfit. Not only does he look stunning, but he will probably make us the center of attention.He takes my hand and kisses it, leaving his gaze locked on mine."Ready?" he asks. "Never more than now," I answer with a smile on my lips. We say goodbye to June and get into the car. The night passes quickly around us. In my hands I hold the elegant card inviting me to the moon dance, which I keep glancing at from time to time.The Full Moon dance is a special event held every year, where members of the packs who have come of age, or who are without a mate, are invited
Marriage First, Mate Second Chapter 32 : The refusal
Levi's lips rest on mine gently. They are sweet as they sweep over me, but they are also charged with desire. Did he just admit he found his mate? Who is his mate?"Are you going to tell me who your mate is?" I ask nervously."I have a matter to settle before we go, then I will tell you everything," he replies.I pout."Business, here?"He nods."Andrew's younger sister came to the ball today. She is paired with the Alpha of a respected pack.""Oh, that's wonderful!" I say sincerely, as we dance with the rest of the people. Andrew's sister is a very sweet girl. I haven't met her many times, but I know she is a kind and very sweet girl. She deserves the best."She is but I must take advantage of talking to that Alpha. It's an important opportunity for the pack."I nod. We move slowly towards the edge of the dance floor, then we rest on a balcony."I understand. I'll wait for you here.""Are you sure?" Levi looks up at the balcony where we are huddled. We are alo

"No!" screams Rose, her face is red with tears.Her gaze remains fixed on Sebastian, who is still trying to recover.Rose's gaze is charged with hatred, with arrogance."You will not be my partner!" she bursts out at Sebastian.Sebastian looks at her in shock. Neither of them seems to come out of their astonishment. But each reacts very differently."We'd better leave them alone," Levi says against my ear. I nod.We start to walk off the private roof, but then Rose grabs Levi's arm."Wait, don't go!" she screams. "You can't leave me, we're meant to be together!"Her screams attract the attention of the people inside the dance. Soon, a large crowd begins to come close to the balcony to see what's going on."Rose, stop!" I shout at her, as Levi releases her grip.She then looks at me. Her sweet face fills with anger and she lashes out at me."This is all your fault, from the beginning you've done everything you could to separate me from my true love, how could you d

My phone rings for the fifth time in less than an hour."Is it him again?" Sophie asks with a raised eyebrow.I ignore the call and concentrate on the fabric swatches, nodding."How insistent!" Sophie exclaims in exasperation."Don't pay attention to him," I say, cutting off the call."How come Sebastian hasn't realized by now that you don't want anything to do with him?" Sophie asks, annoyed."I don't know. I don't even care. At some point he'll get tired of calling."She sighs."If you say so..."Sophie puts the phone aside, but soon it rings again and she looks at it with an annoyed expression.A week has passed since the events of the moon dance. The news that Sebastian and Rose were a couple, but had renounced the bond became known to everyone, so they soon became the talk of the town.As I understand it, Rose couldn't stand the rumors, as everyone knew that Levi, not only was not her partner, but had publicly rejected her. As for the fight between her and Se
Marriage First, Mate Second Chapter 35 : Third round
I slowly breathe, trying to stay calm.I know that getting upset won't prove my point."Sebastian has been after me for almost a week now. He calls me every day," I confess to Levi.He raises an eyebrow and looks at me with a cold expression. The calmness in his countenance makes me nervous."And you didn't tell me about this because...?""Because I know you'd kill him if you found out," I confess, moving closer to him."Don't doubt that I will," he murmurs.Levi holds out his hand and I sigh. I reluctantly hand him my phone.He goes through the list of unanswered calls for the week, numbering over a hundred."I thought he would give up if he saw I wasn't interested. Evidently I was wrong, so I asked him to leave me alone."I sigh. I take a seat in front of him, and look at him. His expression hasn't changed.From how well I know him, I know he's very upset, though I can't figure out if it's with me."What you heard was our conversation, but not all of it. Sebas
Marriage First, Mate Second Chapter 36 : Fishing for the truth
In the middle of the night I wake up, but Levi is not in bed.I frown at his absence. It's late morning, but he's nowhere to be found. Not even in the bathroom.I find this very strange, since he doesn't usually get up before his exercise time. Curious, I put on my robe and get out of bed, yawning.As I leave the room I see the light in his study on. I head in that direction and get the door half open.Levi is sitting at his desk. In front of him are Elliot and Andrew.All three of them look at me as soon as I walk in. Their expressions are serious."What's going on?" I ask them.Andrew and Elliot look at each other's faces, not knowing what to say. Levi replies."We've received a warning from the Alpha of one of our allied packs. Apparently, Sebastian is spreading some rumors to isolate us from the rest of the packs.""What?" I say indignantly. Elliot nods."The lead came in a few hours ago. It seems that some Alphas and other pack members have believed Sebastian's
Marriage First, Mate Second Chapter 37 : Banished
Levi holds my hand tightly, knowing how nervous I am."What will happen if it goes wrong?" I say in a low tone.Levi kisses my knuckles."Don't think about it. It will be alright," he promises me.I nod, trusting his word. He seems sure of himself. As if nothing intimidates him.Well, nothing intimidates Levi, though. I know that much.We head together to the great hall where the ceremony is being held to decide his innocence based on the rumors about him. The great hall is a jury-style room, with a central stool and a raised crescent-shaped podium, where the most respected members of each pack are seated.In front of the podium, and behind the stool for the witnesses or the defendant to sit, is a row of wooden chairs for the trial attendees.As we enter, Levi and I part ways, knowing it will be for the best for now. On the stand is my father, as representative of our pack, and many good friends who are the Alphas of their own packs.The truth is that Levi has a lot o
Marriage First, Mate Second Chapter 38 : Unexpected news
Levi holds me tightly in his arms."It's over," he promises me.His lips meet mine tenderly. Levi has his hands resting on my cheeks. His thumbs caress my face."I hope so," I say, sniffling my nose."Finally!" Matt jumps up, coming toward us. "That bastard won't be bothering us anymore."My brother hugs me. I return the gesture and Elliot settles down next to Levi."Are you all right?" asks the Beta seriously. Levi nods."I am," Levi says.He holds me by the waist. The assembly has turned into chaos, but now it's all over.With Sebastian exiled from the wolves' domain, and Rose away from Alaska, things should be fine for a while.I hope this is the end of all the drama and all the problems.As soon as she can, Sophie comes and hugs me."I'm so proud of you," she says to me.My father also comes to us."I thank you for clearing the name of our packs," he says to Levi. And I see in his eyes that my husband has really earned his appreciation.Shortly afterwa
