Becca.Staring at the most expensive, biggest diamonds I have ever seen in my life some minutes later, all thought of the press and every other person flew out of my head and all I could think of was how everything was about to change.According to Christos, he wants a fast engagement and an equally fast wedding. Which means what exactly? In a few months time I will no longer be known as Miss Becca Summer but Mrs. Fernandez?“I think this goes with the colour of your eyes, agape mou.” The man beside me murmured and I allowed myself to blink back to the present moment.“Yes, but it’s too eye-catching, Christos. I want something unique, yes, but equally simple.” I murmured softly but it was not a surprise that the ears of the proprietor picked up on these words, judging from the way he had been hovering around us since we came in.“Unique but simple? For Mr. Fernandez’s life partner? Oh that will not do, Miss. It will not do at all.” The man murmured with a tsk tsk sound as if he could
Becca. Looking round in shock, i saw that different groups of people, media houses I guess, are upon us. Although it’s obvious they were not allowed into the shop, some of them had been brave enough to come to the door just to quickly capture some pictures of their favorite business mogul. And how unfortunate that it was when Christos was showing his affection! ‘He must be angry.’ I thought to myself with dismay as I turned my head to take a glance at him, but I could not ascertain anything. If he was, then it’s not apparent on his face, his expression was polite, almost wry as a matter of fact. As if he did not really care one way or the other. “Ignore them agape mou. They ain’t the reason we are here.” He murmured softly into my ears and I shivered slightly from the tingle. Another click of the camera sounded again and I sighed. It was obvious these people would not stop. “Reading my mind again. Aren’t you?” I murmured wryly to the man beside me, not even angry or surprised aga
Christos. I had thought she would go for the magnificent ring that compliments the colour of her eyes. Her response got me instantly aroused and hot. I was not expecting such a confession. I never knew she wanted this marriage as much as I do. Choosing that particular ring because they are exactly the colour of my eyes is one of the best gifts she could have given a man like me who has almost everything that’s important in this world. ‘Except Love.’ A voice taunted in a whisper. ‘That does not matter now. A mate is everything and all the love a werewolf needs.’ I hushed the voice immediately. My wolf gave a yelp and I moved closer to the woman who was gazing at me as if I was all that mattered in her world. Of course I knew she did not understand it yet, the full depth of her feelings. Probably thought what she felt is the usual human feeling towards the other gender. She might even think that with time what she felt for me would lessen; obviously having no idea that the forever
Christos.It’s obvious she is finding it hard to comprehend the level of my craze for her.“For me?” She whispered emotionally.“For you. I don’t want you to ever have a doubt about our Union, beautiful one.” I murmured with a soft kiss on her ears and she gave a slight shiver of awareness.That’s it! Another thing that got me crazier every moment. Her awareness of what I am to her. Dammit, but it’s intoxicating.This time it was she who went up on her toes to place a soft kiss on my lips and the crazy shutters and clicks of camera went off again. She released my mouth to step back slightly and looking at her face, I could see the shyness yet a glowing pleased look was also present in her eyes.Taking her hand softly in mine, we started walking again and I could feel them at our back, following closely behind but with a safe distance between us. My wolf hearing could also pick up some murmurs as many of them wondered why I was allowing this.“Could this be a trap?” I heard one murmuri
Christos.I heard the clicks of the camera and after a moment, I gave them a look that said that was enough.“Now, I will give you a chance to ask two questions. Any silly question and we will walk away. So think properly and ask what is important to you.” I warned directly and I could hear their gasps at the unexpected gift.“Do you think this is okay, Boss? These people are opportunists you know and giving them this chance might make them greedy for more.” Frank’s tone was urgent and I could feel his worry.“It is okay, Frank. After evading them for more than a decade, it’s only right to give them some news now, otherwise they will only be thirsty and desperate to get what you don’t want to give them. Besides, I am now going to be a family man, I don’t want anyone to think it’s going to be an under-the-carpet thing. Becca and her kids deserve more than that.” I quickly explained my reasoning to him and he sighed.“But how will they feel when they find out the kids are not yours? Won
Christos.Wondering how my Mate was going to react when she experienced her first shift into the wolf’s world, I felt a leaping desire in my chest but beneath all that lurks a fear that she might not handle it well.But what can I do about that? That’s how the mate bond works and she will have no choice in the matter. Not as long as she is marked to me.“Shall we take a stroll down to the waterside?” I asked the silent woman sitting beside me in the car and she nodded after a brief hesitation. After a brief word to the driver to park the car close to a convenient side curb, I sat back without saying anything.I knew she must be trying to process all that has happened and I have no issues with that. I would just like for us to discuss a few things before I take her back to the house to prepare for dinner with my mother.Few minutes later, she draped her hand around mine as we walked slowly down the green path that led to the waterside.“I am sorry if you are upset by the drama that too
Christos.Standing at the riverside minutes later, we were both quiet as we gazed at the beauty of nature before us.“Shall we tell the kids together when we go back to the house?” I finally broke the silence after a while.“You don’t think it is too early?” From the little frown that pleated her forehead, it was plain to see that she was not sure if it was a good idea.“They will have to know one way or the other, Becca, and I would rather it comes from us than from outsiders. Don’t you think so?” The twins are not mere kids one can deceive for long anyways, they are too intelligent not to pick up on the closeness between me and their mum.“From outsiders?” She blinked owlishly and it was obvious she had not considered this.“Newspaper, my dear Becca. The same concern I have about my Mum finding out through the blogs also applies to them, Babes. I am sure we both don’t want them coming home upset just because they heard the news from some kids who heard their parent’s gossip about M
Christos.After the first excitement when the kids saw me come home with their Mum, they had been remarkably cool towards me especially after announcing that we needed to talk to them.Unlike before when all they wanted to do was sit close to me, they had immediately followed their Mother to sit on the middle sofa, leaving me with the bigger one, alone and isolated.To think I had gone straight to sit on the big one in expectation that they would join me.Really! It’s true that kids will stain your white when you least expect it.I actually cannot believe this is me though, running helter-skelter over talking to some kids. No wonder their Mum could not keep the smile off her face. Probably comparing the moment with that first time we met on her first day of work and I was all shades of fire and brimstone. If that’s the case, then I can’t blame her for finding this to be hilarious. I can only thank the goddess my men are not here to see it. It will be extremely humiliating and difficul
