It's been a few weeks since we had played capture the flag and all my plans were ruined. I began thinking about that day and remember when I was trying to leave my room I ran into Zeke. I tried my best to control my lust and since he didn't say anything I don't think he notices. Unlike Cole who has always been an observant man. When he stopped me he looked lost in thought but randomly blurred out.
"I want to court you!"
I couldn't believe he actually used the word Court. The only weird thing was is that when I said ok I actually got butterflies.
"Great then I will send for you at 7 tonight" he gave me a courtesy and with that he left the room. I was on a wild roller coasters emotions. Not too long ago I thought that I had ruined everything with Zeke when I was with Cole but some how the moon goddess was still smiling down up on me.
Soon he would tell me he loved me and I would be one step closer to returning balance. I walked downstairs and saw Violet and Liam watching a movie on the couch. They have really come a long way since I first came. I was curious where Liams family was since I haven't seen Asher around my boys lately.
"Liam honey where is your father?" He chained his head towards me and hollered back.
"The king is expecting a visitor in 2 days so father was sent to escort them personally." I nodded knowing that it would sense for him to send his gamma for extra security if it was an important guest. Finally I turned to Violet.
"And have you seen your brother?" It was her turn to reply to me "Yea volley ball or something."
This is crazy no one takes sports this seriously. I wanted to see exactly how they were running this volleyball practice.
"Kids how do you feel about doing some snooping?" Both kids looked at me like I had grown a second head since it was probably because my request is not one they are used to receiving from and adult. Yet I saw curiosity got the best of them and they decided to tag along anyways.
Once every one got into the car and violet saw we were heading to the school she looked over.
"Liza where are we headed?" I didn't take my eyes of the road and we pulled into the parking lot.
"We are here to see how volleyball practice is going for your brother." Violet and Liam gave eachother puzzled looks and got out of the car. They followed me into the school to the gymnasium where I saw some kids spiking a ball. I paused and looked around but I didn't see Colton.
"Violet do you see your brother?" She shook her head.
"No but I can sense him with our twin bond." I stood and gestured for her to take the lead.
"Lead the way my butterfly" Violet took a deep breath and followed her senses which not only led us out of the gym but led us to the football field to the bleachers.
I was about to say something when I ran right into violet who I hadn't noticed stopped dead in her tracks.
"What the fuck."
"Language lady..." I was going to continue when I looked up and saw what she was referring to which unfortunately gave me the same reaction.
There up in the bleaches sat Colton tongue locked with some girl.
Wait we know that girl.
Colton is tongue locked with none other than Marie Violets bestfriend.
Liam began chuckling "uh oh some body's got some explaining to dooo." He began whistling.
I was about to reply before Violet took off like a bat out of hell towards them.
"How's Volly Ball practice going?" She placed her hands on her hip. Colton pulled away so fast from Marie and looked like he had seen a ghost.
"Vi I...."
"Save it." She turned towards Marie who couldn't make eye contact with her.
"My brother?"
Marie barley got the words out.
"He's my mate."
"So why didn't anyone tell me?" They finally looked up and the looked at Liam.
"Because you were so anti mate and we're having so many problems I didn't want to hurt you more" Violet took a step back and just looked at them without saying a word she ignored everyone and just walked up to me.
"Let's head back." I placed my hand on her shoulder and nodded.
"Yes my child."
The car ride home was pretty quite and the second we got home Violet sprinted out of the car and ran to her room and locked the door. Cole was standing in the kitchen and looked at me like he was waiting for an explanation.
"Colton found his mate." Cole smiled and stood up straighter.
"It Marie Violets best friend"
His smile instantly dropped.
" I see, her mother would know how to handle things like this. I should go talk to her."
Cole has been avoiding me and now that I see him it looks like he hasn't slept.
"Cole are you alright?" I think not calling him King took him off guard but instead of educating me he let his guard down for a minute.
"Everyone tells you to find a good partner that you can raise a child with but they don't tell you what to do when the most perfect partner leaves you to do it yourself." Cole looked up and stood up again and moved towards me until he was just a few steps away. I closed the distance and placed my hands on his chest.
"You are an amazing father and King and you are doing a better job than most men in your shoes. You could have let the heartache consume you and gone mad but instead you held it together not just for you but with Zeke as well. Mate bond breaking is not something easy to feel."
Cole grabbed my hands and kissed the inside of my wrists.
"Thank you for your kind words but the kids still need a mother and the pack needs a Luna." He looked into my eyes as if he was searching for the answer to all his question.
"Then that is exactly what you shall give them." I kissed his cheek. I feel ya growing closer especially after this moment. Cole is going to ask me to marry him I can just feel it in my heart.
I had spent the day dealing with everything that when I looked at my clocked it was almost 5. Ran upstairs to go get ready for my date. First I took a shower and then when I got out I put on a simple yellow sundress and slipped on some white wedges. I curled my hair and pulled it back into a half ponytail. This body was a natural beauty so I put on mascara and tinted lipstick and called it a day. Just as I was grabbing my purse I heard a knock.
Right on time.
I opened the door and found Zeke in a blue polo and khakis holding my favorite orange roses.
I grabbed them and inhaled the scents.
"My favorite" I whispered.
"I had a feeling you would like them." My face began blushing underneath his intense stare. When he wanted to Zeke was not a force to be reckoned with.
I set the flowers in a vase and followed him outside.
"Where are we going."
He smiled and took my hand. "We are going on a picnic." I looked around because he hadn't brought anything with us. He must've saw my confusion.
"I have everything already prepared." I nodded and followed him into the woods. We were walking for awhile and not in a direction I was used to going.
We came across a cave and when he walked in I was definitely confused.
"Are we eating in the dark?" I chuckled as he pulled me further in. Once we got deep in the cave began to glow. And when I saw the picnic my heart gave way. It looked like a magical starry night.
"I found this one night on a run. The water glows like this because of the algae and the ceiling looks like a sky because of the glow worms and then there are lighting bugs flying around. It was truly a site to behold. I saw on the blanket he had prepared and watched him take everything out. He packed cute little sandwiches and a big plate of fruits and cheeses. He opened up a bottle of wine and handed me a glass.
"This is truly something beautiful Zeke I don't know what to say."
"Say you will love me like I love you." I'm sorry did he just...
"Yes" Lilly purred in my head.
"I will stand with you my alpha" his face lit up and he kissed me so passionately.i laid my head in his lap and we stayed like this for hours.
He loves me.
I was beaming. In two months I would be reunited with my family and we would be whole again.
Nothing could ruin this moment.
Everything was working out perfectly.
