Chapter 93
I knew how devilishly handsome Greyson was, what I did not know was how that tripled when he wore a suit. I could feel my mouth water just at the sight of him and for a second the thought of canceling the entire date and just ripping the suit material off him and diving straight to the bed ran through my mind.
His hair had been styled to perfection and even his moustache that I loved the most about him had been shaped. Everything about his look made him more and more desirable to me.
I had seen Greyson in different formal wears before. But it had always been a shirt and pant at the most. This suit was definitely a first for me and it felt like I needed all night to just drool over how good he looked.
My mate looked so regal, like royalty itself. He looked every bit the king that he was. I could feel the power coming off him in waves and it was almost as if those waves were sent straight into my body.
“The scent of your arousal is probably reaching the living area right now honey.” Greyson said softly to me.
For a moment, embarrassment overwhelmed my frame at the thought that Christie who had been in the room minutes before would be inhaling the scent of my arousal and was probably standing in a corner marinading in discomfort, but when I checked around the maid was no where to be found.
“She slipped out of the room the moment you began drooling over me. You were too invested to notice.”
I was about to hit the Alpha out of offense of what he had just said but before I could execute my plan, he wrapped his arm around me in a hug. There was no way I could fight him in this state and so I allowed myself melt into the hug.
“You look so beautiful. Absolutely stunning and your scent is so freaking heavenly.”
“You look amazing yourself. Did you prepare by yourself?”
“Nope I had a little help from Smith. Just a little though.” He responded and I laughed at that. Greyson continued to take sniffs of me and the action caused me to giggle, pushing on his shoulders a little bit in an attempt to get him to let go but he only held on to me even more.
“I’m having second thoughts about this date. Think we have the time for a quickie?” He asked and my brain short circuited for a second.
My eyes dashed to the clock on the nightstand.
“We have about ten minutes to spare, so we better hurry.” I replied and just as Greyson moved to shut the door Jessy and Simon appeared by the doorway.
Jessy had a single rose in her hand and attached to the stem was a piece of paper. Once she got close enough to me, I took the flower from her hands thanking her and then Simon for them.
You both get your ass out of the house. Greyson left this room minutes ago and you both are yet to come out of your room. You can try to save it for after the dinner. Horny bastards.
Have a good time by the way.
Love,
Smith.
“That idiot.” Greyson muttered as he read through the note.
“Thank you for the flower honey. We have to start going now.” Greyson said to the children that were now looking at us expectantly.
“Mommy you look beautiful and you too daddy.”
“Oh I look beautiful too?” Greyson asked teasingly and Jessy nodded her head enthusiastically.
“Well thanks love.”Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
“Where are you going?” My nosey four years old asked.
“We’re going on a date baby.”
“Can I go on a date too?”
I laughed at her words and so did Greyson.
“When you’re older love, you can go on a date. For now, be good, okay.” Greyson reassured her and thankfully that was satisfying enough.
As we moved out of the room, my phone screen lit up and Smith’s name flashed from across the screen. I opened the notification to find a text from him
Smith – 6:57 “What are you both still doing inside? Don’t tell me I dressed that idiot up for him to ruin it. He’s not responding to my texts.”
“That’s Smith isn’t it? My phone has been going crazy in my pockets. Come on let’s go.” Greyson said, taking my hands in his and leading us all out of the room.
My phone beeped with another text from him again.
Smith – 6:58 “Wow, I thought blood was thicker than water and everything else. You’re ignoring me too? After I sent you a flower?
Trust Smith to be dramatic at every turn.
“Smith we’re out of the room already you can stop bothering my mate.” Greyson called out the moment we landed from the flight of stairs and Smith appeared from the living area.
He looked prepared to say something but looked like he changed his mind as his eyes swept through my frame.
“Wow, you look gorgeous.” Smith complimented and Greyson grunted by my side.
“She’s very aware of that by now. Thank you for your observation, we’ll be on our way now.” Greyson said, gently pulling me out of the house.
Smith’s loud laughter filled the air behind us and accompanied us till we got to the car.
“Where are we going?” I asked as Greyson began maneuvering out of the house.
“You’ll see.” That wasn’t exactly the best response but I knew that would be all I would get.
The ride was silent but not uncomfortably so. Music played from the radio and filled the car and the ride was very peaceful and enjoyable.
Soon we pulled into one of the beautiful restaurants in the pack and the first thing that struck out to me was how empty the parking lot was.
“Are you sure it’s open? It doesn’t look Like anyone is in here.” I said, squinting to get a better look at the place.
“Come on, let’s go in.” Greyson said, opening his door, stepping out and moving to my side to pull open my own door.
The moment we stepped into the space, I was immediately taken away by the beauty of the place. The place had been cleared out and only a tastefully decorated table surrounded my two chairs were in the center of the room.
There was a band singing beautifully in the corner and the ambience of the place was just perfect.
“There’s an array of food for you. I knew you’d like a mixture of most things so I made sure they put out your favorites.” Greyson said and I moved out of the seat before he could say anything else.
I moved to the buffet set out at the end of the room and began piling my plate high with different kinds of food. Greyson stood to my side and just watched me with a smile on his lips.
“What? I’m hungry! I’m feeding three people here.” I said, sticking a piece of food into my mouth.
“I didn’t say anything.”
“You don’t need to, your eyes are judgmental enough already.”
“No they’re not.”
I laughed at his child like response and then we both moved back to our table to settle down and eat.
It was relieving to be with each other in this way. It was beautiful too.
I noticed how the nervousness that began dancing in my mate’s eyes the moment we settled down to eat but I thought it could be ignored and eventually it would go away but as the night went on it only seemed to get worse and worse no matter how light hearted I made the conversation.
It began to worry me. I didn’t want him to be unhappy or unnecessary angsty about anything especially at a time like this. A time for just the both of us.
“Are you alright?” I asked finally.
He sighed heavily, looking away from me for a second before looking back at me. Clearing his throat, he took my hands into his and gave it a firm squeeze. One that conveyed his entire emotions.
“There’s something important I want to ask you.”
“Okay?”
“Be my Luna?”
It took a moment for my mind to comprehend what he had just said, but when it did, it felt like my entire body and mind filled with fire. This was far fetched, a part of me knew this was bound to happen one day but I didn’t expect it this soon.
Maybe another part of me didn’t ever expect it to happen because I don’t think I’d ever be prepared for this.
“Freya?”
“I-I I’m n-not r-ready. The-there’s a lot of things t-that could go wrong. What I-if the people don’t want me? What if I m-mess it all up? What if it goes horribly wrong at some point and then you start to regret it? What if you start to have second thoughts from Tom-”
“Hey baby, stop. This is something I want, it means it is what the people want to. I’m in the best position to make that decision, don’t you think? And you’re not going to mess it up, nothing will go horribly wrong. I’ll be here to help you every step of the way. I promise. I’ll hold your hand and walk you through every step of the way.”
At this exact moment, I couldn’t be sure what it was. The genuine look in his eyes, the firm grip he had on my hands, the confidence in his words, or the fact that I just knew it was Greyson but whatever it was I believed him. I really did.
“Yes.” I responded
“Yeah?” The excitement in my mate’s voice was beautiful and it made me giggle.
“Of course. I want nothing more than to be your Luna.” I said with tears streaming down my face. Fuck pregnancy hormones.
But I was really happy, really really happy.
Greyson moved from his side of his table and walk towards me, squatting in front of me to take my face into his hands. He cleaned off the tears that were streaming down my face first before placing kisses on my nose, forehead and finally on my lips.
“I love you.” He whispered to me
“I love you.” It was such a fulfilling feeling being able to confess to this with the man that I truly loved. I didn’t want anything to ever ruin this peace and I was going to work towards it with everything I had.
We shared another passionate kiss and it was in the middle of it that my bladder decided to announce its fullness.
“I need to use the bathroom.” I said, moving out of my chair and waddling towards the other end where I assumed the bathroom would be, the twins were starting to get bigger and accommodate more space. At this point, I was very scared for my bladder.
I heard footsteps behind me and when I turned it was to find Greyson following behind me. I furrowed my brows in confusion.
“Why are you coming with? We’re the only two here.” I said and he looked uncomfortably around for a moment but he didn’t argue, he just nodded his head and went back to his seat.
I reached the bathroom and relieving myself was so pleasant. Thoughts of the last hour came flooding my mind.
I couldn’t believe it. Greyson had just asked me to be his Luna. Excitement and feared both occupied my mind and I couldn’t tell which of it ruled. I was just in this space where I wanted to jump and scream for joy, and at the same time cower in a corner out of anxiety and fear.
Everything was moving so fast for us and while it wasn’t necessarily a bad thing, I was just worried about something going wrong right in the middle of it all.
Once I was done, I flushed it up and opened the door. The sight on the wall before me froze me in my steps first but when I could react, I did, with a horrifying scream.
The words,
YOU WILL NEVER BE HIS LUNA.
Had been painted in red before me.
