Marriage First, Mate Second Chapter 43 : Wedding nerves
"Oh, that one is really beautiful," June says with a smile on her lips. Her happiness is evident."Do you think so?" my brow furrows. I turn around and look at my body from all angles. "Don't you think it makes me look fat?""No. It brings out your curves," June assures me."She's right," Sophie points her champagne glass at me. "It really brings out the best side of your figure."I sigh"I don't know..." I start to say."Why don't you try another one?" June encourages me. "If you're not sure, you can always keep trying until you get the one you like.""Of course she can," Sophie lets out a sarcastic giggle and takes a sip of champagne. "You say that now. But when you've been here for five hours and after forty-seven dresses she hasn't made up her mind, you won't say the same thing."June makes a face of not being sure about it, as do I."It wasn't that many," I defend myself."Believe me," my best friend scoffs. "I counted them."I shake my head."No. This is n
Marriage First, Mate Second Chapter 44 : Proposals and threats
Levi's POVAmber's fingers close tightly on my hand, not believing what the doctor just told us.She lifts her face and looks at me. Her eyes are wide open, as are her lips, in an obvious show of shock and surprise."Did he say that we are..." she begins to say.Before she can say another word I burst out laughing and pick her up in my arms. I start to spin around with her as she clings to my neck tightly."Stop, please!" she whimpers.I stop instantly and without letting go, kiss her lips. At first she kisses me back a little fearfully, but soon after, her gesture becomes more insistent and affectionate.We separate amidst our mothers' outbursts of happiness."My husband, I have to call my husband!" Elsa shouts, because Amber's father had left an hour ago for an important business meeting.She runs out. At the same time, Elliot, Matthew and Sophie run into the room."What's going on, what's all the fuss about?" they ask.Amber looks at them with a surprised face.
Marriage First, Mate Second Chapter 45 : To the bride and the groom
Amber's POVThe guests begin to arrive and of course, my brother heads the list of those who have arrived early.Ironically, it's not him I see, but the industrial-sized stuffed animal in the shape of a wolf he's carrying."What the heck is that?" I ask as I notice the huge stuffed figure. "A gift for the baby!" Matt squeals excitedly. "And where do you expect me to put it? It's as big as the room!"My brother bursts out laughing."In that case, come home with us. I'll see to it that the baby gets the biggest room on the second floor."Levi's brow immediately furrows."No way! Amber and the baby will stay with me."I smile as I feel the protective tone in his voice. Since we found out we were expecting our first child, Levi has become much more protective than usual.He rarely leaves me alone now, and when he does, he makes sure it's under the supervision of someone he trusts. He brings me food at all times and special shakes that are full of vitamins for the ba
Marriage First, Mate Second Chapter 46 : The worst nightmare
"Be careful getting out of the car," Elliot and Sophie ask at the same time.I can't help but start laughing."You do realize I'm pregnant, not crippled, right?" I joke.They look at me with an unsure look on their faces."If something happens to you, Levi will kill us," says Sophie.My best friend takes my hand and helps me out of the car. It hasn't been many weeks since the baby shower; just two, so the pregnancy isn't particularly noticeable.My belly was a little more swollen, but my clothes still fit the same. Honestly, it feels like I ate a lot, and not so much like I am carrying a baby in my belly."I'll go park the car. I'll be right back," Elliot informs us.He turns the corner and is out of sight. Sophie walks me to the office.I walk slowly, measuring the space between my steps and every crack in the floor, in case I might trip.Their behavior keeps making me laugh, but I partly understand them. Levi is so committed to his attempts to take care of me in e
Marriage First, Mate Second Chapter 47 : Broken bond
Levi's POVMy mother knocks on the door twice. She comes in before she knocks a third time.She brings the phone with her. She holds it out to me. She looks worried, but I can't figure out why."Sophie is calling you," she asks.Her tone, coupled with the anomaly of the event, alerts me. I pick up the phone immediately, standing up."What's wrong?" I ask."It's Amber," Sophie is crying on the other end of the line.My heart is skipping a beat."What's wrong with her?"Our son. My first thought is that something has gone wrong with the baby.However, Sophie says otherwise. She reveals a terrifying truth."She's been taken away," she murmurs, her voice breaking with tears.At that moment my senses collapse.I hear footsteps near Sophie. Someone snatches the phone from her. I immediately recognize the voice of my Beta."I'm in the car following the direction we think the kidnappers have gone.""Who are they?" I ask holding back my anger, standing up and walki
Marriage First, Mate Second Chapter 48 : Stolen memories
**Amber's POVOne of the guards pulls me by the arm."You're coming with me," he says sharply.I feel disoriented and dizzy, so I can't respond. I don't even know how long it's been since I last saw Dora.All I know is that I have spent too much time in this place. I wish Levi could find me, I wish I could get out of here.At least the Goddess seems to have heard one of my prayers. The guard leads me into the room and sits me in one of the high-backed chairs. At first I am slow to recognize the tall figure in front of me, but gradually it becomes more coherent.It is his voice that makes me understand who it is."What have you done to her?" Levi says, with a tone of restrained anger in his voice."She's fine" answers Dora, very close to me. She speaks with antipathy and annoyance. "A little drugged, that's all.""My son...""The child is also fine," Dora says with annoyance. "I've done my part. Now, do as I say."As they talk, the scene becomes clearer. I look up
Marriage First, Mate Second Chapter 49 : Forced to love you
Without knowing how, the stained glass windows that adorn the back wall of Dora's house explode. The instant is so heartbreaking that it takes me a moment to comprehend what is happening. I scream and the wolves at my sides turn in fright to see what is going on. That precise instant of bewilderment is enough for Levi to jump the distances and shift. With an atrocious roar he runs at an impossible speed and pounces on one of the wolves.Another of the wolves is attacked by a large black beast that lunges at him. The fight breaks out around me as screams leave my mouth. I try to get up, but I feel pain racking every one of my senses from Levi's attempt to break our bond and it stops me from moving for a while.Then a figure approaches me. It is smaller than the rest. I immediately recognize the dark gray fur of Sophie's wolf.She looks at me in anguish. I immediately understand what is happening. I cling to her fur as she helps me onto her back, then takes off running, to get me a
Marriage First, Mate Second Chapter 50 : Forever
The sun hasn't risen when I open my eyes, but I know it must be close to doing so.Levi sleeps next to me. He has one arm outstretched for me to use as a pillow and with the other he holds me around the waist. His breathing is slow and rhythmic. His body, which is tilted in my direction, emanates a warm current that fills my skin with a delicious sensation.Unable to help myself, I linger for a while, watching his sleeping figure. The way the muscles relax in the immediacy of sleep. The tattoos that run across his skin are now a familiar path for me. My fingers glide over them, gently caressing the ink-covered surface.Levi sighs then and slowly awakens. His gaze focuses on me and lingers on my face. The hand that settles against my waist closes softly and he pulls me to himself.We are naked, snuggled under the blankets. As his body brushes against mine, deliciously, I feel his erection, which insinuates itself pleasurably against my sex.The anxiety of him possessing me beg
