"Really?" I asked Isabel, and she nodded her head before staring at Dimitri for confirmation. When I looked at Dimitri, he averted his gaze from my face, and focused it somewhere else. Without saying anything, I continued eating, with my mind wandering around so many things. An hour later, we all already finished having breakfast and we were all in the living room, waiting to welcome the family because Alpha Dimitri mind linked them and got to know that they were all on their way. I went to sit on one of the seats, when Dalia approached me and sat down beside me. "Hey, can I ask you something?" When she asked that, I instantly turned around and gave her all my attention. "Yes, of course. We are friends now, right?" She replied with a smile before looking away. I knew that it was something serious, and I braced myself for it. I only hoped it wasn't about me - and Dimitri. "How do you know when you're in love with someone?" She asked, and looked at me...again. I fu
Alpha Dimitri sat on his throne, and stood up almost immediately. His eyes scanned everyone with a small smile on his face. He started clearing his throat, and I wondered what he had to say. "Since we are all here, we are going to have a big ceremony by this time tomorrow by the grace of the moon goddess. I welcome you all." After he was done talking, everyone clapped for him, while I smiled at him from a distance. After he left his throne, he went back to the house and everyone all departed. Most of them were helped into their rooms by the maids, while I didn't move from where I was. I was so deep in thoughts, that I didn't realize when Dimitri tapped me. "I-i thought you just left?" I asked, as my eyes scanned his body. He shrugged and dipped his hands into his pockets. "Yes, I came back. For you." His face became serious almost immediately, and I couldn't tell if he was serious or not. "Oh, really?" I teased, as I inched closer and wrapped my hands around his neck.
"Lily, don't get me wrong. But, are you okay? Do you understand what you're saying? Can you hear yourself?" I moved closer to her, my eyes blazing with anger. Everything she was saying didn't make sense to me, it was as if she was speaking a whole gibberish. I moved closer to her, making her back away a little. With my knitted brows, I stared at her like I was going to kill her on the spot, even though I knew that I couldn't do that. "You've been here barely a day, and you're already causing a full problem. What's your problem? Do not speak about Dimitri like that. He isn't yours, he's mine and mine only. Okay? I hope I made myself clear." With that, I let out a big hiss and turned around to leave. I was somehow expecting her to stop me in my tracks, but she didn't do that. Instead, I heard her mumbling some words which made me tilt my eyes, Before dashing into my room while thinking about everything. I slammed my door and ran to my bed, burying my face into it almos
Still cursing myself, I slowly peeled my eyes away from Dimitri's face. "So, are you coming in that?" He teased, pointing to me. Without thinking too much about it, I knew that he was talking about the underwear I was in. "No, and you have to leave , like right now." I glared at me, corking my head to the side. His eyes slowly darkened, as he dipped his hands into his pockets, still staring at me. "Really? Do you want me to really leave?" He pushed his body away from the wall and started walking towards me, slowly placing one leg in front of the other. My grip on the bed sheet became tighter, and my eyes danced around his face. "W-what are you doing?" I stuttered, and he didn't answer until he got to my bed. Without saying anything, he sat on the bed and continued staring at me like he had never seen me before. "You have to go, alpha Dimitri," I whined, trying to get him to either give me an answer or leave the room. Things became really awkward really fast; the silence
I slowly turned around to meet Dimitri's eyes, peering into mine. His gaze was intimidating, and I was suddenly feeling like leaving his sight. "What's the matter? You've been acting weird." He said, moving closer to me. Looking away from him, I wiped the corners of my eyes and looked back at him almost immediately. "I'm fine, I was about to choke. That was why I had to leave." I lied, still keeping up with his gaze. He got to me, and placed his hands on my shoulders. "Okay." That was all he said before he pulled me closer, wrapping his hands around me. I could tell that he didn't believe me, but I was grateful for the fact that he didn't even ask me about it. ******************** I woke up really early that morning, surprisingly feeling so enthusiastic. It was time for the ceremony, and I couldn't just wait for it to begin. Scrambling off the bed, I quickly had my bath and wore a very simple dress to help the maid, knowing that I was going to change back into a more
I slowly pushed the door open and walked in. There was nobody there, it wasn't like I was expecting anyone anyway. "What did Isabel ask me to bring?" I asked myself, as I walked further into the room, running my fingers through the table there. My mouth formed an "oh," when I saw a basket that had some foodstuff there. I guessed it was the one and walked towards it. After I grabbed it, I proceeded to the door, but I was stopped in my tracks, when I heard a shuffling sound coming from my back. I was frozen to the spot, my eyes darting in front of me. "Guess who, Alison?" A voice said behind me, accompanying it with claps. I didn't need to be told who it was, I already knew who it was. I slowly turned around to meet Tamara's piercing eyes. She had her hands crossed on her chest, with a small, evil smirk on her face. "What are you doing here?" I asked, my grip on the basket getting harder. She widened her eyes and feigned a look of shock, before curving her lips into a moc
I bit my lip, and shifted my lips into a thin, straight line. My heart was racing, clenching against my chest. It was so weird that I was scared of Tamara and lily. It was too weird for me. I cleared my throat and slowly turned around to meet Tamara and Lily glaring at me like they wanted to kill me on the spot. I could swear with my life that they wanted to. If only they got the chance... I breathed in and tried mustering some courage. I crossed my hands on my chest and started walking towards them, with a bold look on my face, even though I was melting inside. "What? You're in my house, don't forget that." I said, corking a brow at them. They exchanged a look with each other before laughing out loud again. "Aw, that's so sweet. You think this is your house because you're Alpha Dimitri's mate? That's even sadder than you
I didn't know why seeing him take his drink like that, made me feel weird as if he wasn't meant to take it. "Alpha Dimitri?" I called him, and he dropped the cup on the tray before turning to face me. "How was the drink?" I asked, my eyes settling on the maid, who was still standing there, staring at Dimitri. I eyed her suspiciously, "you can leave now." When I said that to her, she slowly nodded before walking away. I didn't know why she was acting weird, so many things were so wrong with the way they were all going. "I don't know why I feel like something is wrong. Don't you feel like there's something happening? Something we are not aware of? I don't know, alpha." My face slowly squeezed into a frown, as my eyes darted around everywhere. Alpha Dimitri moved closer, before settling his hands on my shoulders. He exhaled before parting his lips to speak. "I think you need to rest or just interact with other people. I mean, I feel like it's because you're by yoursel
