Chapter 7 - Chapter 7: A Little Jealous Night

Frizabelle

Monday – Night

6:30pm

I came home a little late and did not greet anyone as I stepped foot inside the house apart from my Mom. It's better to greet her than to meet her devilish grin which can make anyone bow down if you're not strong enough to face it. Just thinking of sending those smiles, it reminded me about a bedtime love story of my parents.

My mother was like Ceres but a wild kind of wolf in her time but even though she's a rouge, she was the most powerful rouge until one battle between rouge and grandfather's pack rang throughout the open field right next to our training field. My father was within the battle which caught a spark and awe when he saw my mother's daring eyes. Knowing the bond of mates formed between them, their clawed paws crossed each other. The found dominance since my mother wanted to reject my father but knowing him, he won't take no for an answer. Their fight wasn't about territory anymore but more on being mates. Without backing down from both sides, they suddenly shifted back into their human form out of exhaustion. Out of defense mode, they both suddenly laughed which caught everyone's attention and they shook their hands. From then on, their bond grew much stronger which my mother was the only one who can definitely match my father. They're actually equal.

7:50 pm

I was inside my room doing my school stuff when I recalled that bedtime story from my father which exactly made my stomach began to complain. I skipped dinner time because of my piled-up school assignments but the good thing I was already done which made me stand up from my desk and off to the kitchen. On my way downstairs, I could swear that I could hear their laughter which I was curious about. As I got there, I noticed that my parents were nowhere to be found in the kitchen aside from Ethan, Yume, Nate, and Ceres who was washing the dishes with Avery. I was a little bit confused over their closeness which turned into something I felt earlier. I let out a growl that made Avery jolted and hid behind Ceres. She just chuckled and cooed Avery's shoulder. I hate it!

"What is she doing here?" I asked in some alpha tone that made Ethan, Yume and Nate bowed down not even minding answering my question.

"Well, first chill, Belle. I'll get you something to eat." Ceres calmly told me as I took a seat on my spot before I sent death glare at Avery's closeness to Ceres.

As Ceres was done preparing and served my dinner, I was seriously drooling since it was a juicy steak with Kani Salad and my hot chocolate mint but I heard some giggles from my gang next to me. I turned to glare at them but I can feel Ceres fixed gaze on me. I looked at her and she was smiling which made me blushed as I started to eat my dinner. I was enjoying my dinner when Ceres spoke.

"Okay, Avery was staying here for the night." Ceres said frankly to me while I felt the tension from those three next to me. They knew I wouldn't like it.

"Before you can complain, your parents already agreed about it and she wasn't like me. She was turned. You know what happens when you've been turned and no one was there to guide you." Ceres started before I could even speak.

"Anyway, after being accidentally turned, her maker left her to die but she didn't. Waking up with no guidance from its maker, bloodlust only she could see. Meaning, she massacred everyone she crossed till she realized what she was doing. Fear consumed her till she crossed death once again. So, here she was and ready to die in the hands of the wolves. But I wouldn't let her, I must guide her." Ceres explained to me but that doesn't change the fact that she was too close to her like she was flirting with her. Dang it! Seriously, I sounded like a jealous girlfriend again.

I sighed as I tried to control my temper to what I'm seeing now. Avery was holding her arms tightly which made me glared. I don't like it one bit.

"I don't care about that…if my parents already agreed to it then I have nothing to do against it aside from you." I calmly said as I swallowed the last bite from my stake while I'm irritated.

"Me?" Ceres asked with a smirk into her face.

"Yes, I'm going to have some issue with her arms around you." I frankly said while pointing the knife on my hands over Avery's arms wrapped around her waist.

The three chuckled which Avery didn't get. Ceres smiles that made me blushed as I realized what I just said.

"Stupid me." I hissed within my thoughts that made Lena laugh at me.

"Oh! Avery if you don't get it. Me and Frizabelle were mates – I mean lovers." Ceres explained to Avery that made her confused because Ceres was a vampire and I'm a wolf. Classic isn't it?

"I know but you don't look or even like one." Avery said without ill intention which I growled at her.

"Hush, Belle. Avery might know a little things with mates or soulmates but she can clearly understand human language." Ceres stopped me from changing into my wolf.

"We're still human too." I was irritated when I said that.

Ceres left Avery and went to my side to give a hug which I let her even though I still do hate her scent. As her arms settled around my neck, I was quickly calmed down.

"Now, don't get too jealous over Avery, I'm just here to guide her because if not, she'll turn berserk again. You know a fallen vampire rouge act, they don't just drink from their prey, they devour them." Ceres calmly said with her soothing voice as she caressed my head which was leaning on her chest.

I nodded then faced Avery and apologized. Seriously, I let Ceres calm me in an instant.

'You love her that's why.'

I shook my head from that comment of Lena within my thoughts but I'm smiling though. I slapped myself through my head as I realized that I was smiling over that comment of Lena. I sighed.

As I battled within my thoughts, I heard some clicking sound which made me look to where it was coming from. I saw Ceres cleaning up which made me watch her back. I kept staring at her back that was moving smoothly which made me think that she has a perfect figure. It even made me wonder if I could see her perfect curves underneath those clothes – I immediately shook my head since my mind suddenly thought something dirty about her body. But I can't help it; I mean, she already saw me naked but not hers. It's not even fair which I can't help to wonder how her body looked like. My mind was drifting on how beautiful her pale white sexy body was for my eyes and feeling those smooth skins underneath my hands which made her quiver underneath me. I want to see those weak but lovely pleading eyes whenever I touch her quivering body. I mentally slapped myself as I imagined her being underneath me. I was definitely daydreaming about her being nude in front of me which I didn't realize that we're alone in the kitchen.

"Since when they ditched?" I asked as I looked around the kitchen.

"Since I washed your plate." Ceres replied that I didn't expect to do so.

I just nodded then the silence covered in between us again which I let out a heavy sigh that she chuckled. I glared at her before she approached me.

"Want some walk?" she asked with her calming smile then I nodded.

Outside, it was a serene night and the breeze wasn't cold or warm, it was simply chill. As we took an evening stroll passing the garden, I can't help but to feel relaxed and glad. We just kept walking quietly till we reached the cherry blossom tree close to the late. We breathe in the air before staking some seat on the grassy ground. Just being here quietly with Ceres, I would admit that it was comforting and I love it which I knew that I am smiling.

"You know, I like the way you smile." I suddenly confessed to her while looking far at the lake.

"I know but for me, I like every expression you're having. Your emotions flow visible to your face and I love them all. They were honest, Belle." She said while smiling that really caught me off guard as I blushed.

I shook my head and stood up from the ground then I took off my clothes. I don't care if she's watching me but this heat I'm feeling right now, I must jump onto the lake just to cool me off. Yet, I'm still feeling hot. Am I in heat? As that thought came, I heard Lena whine that made me gasped and stood out the lake.

"I'm in heat. I need to go back inside before the other wolves sense me." I harshly said as I panicked but Ceres was so calmed and composed – I think.

Ceres went closer to me that made me stop from picking my clothes on. I was about to turn around but she surprised me when her coat was already wrapped on my shoulder then she picked me up like a bride. Within just a blink from my eyes, we're already inside the house and she even continued carrying me toward my room. She laid me down to my bed naked while my clothes covered my private parts.

"Ceres?" I was confused about what she just did.

"Yes, you are in heat that made me want to devour you but don't worry I won't until you give your heart to me so until then, I won't touch you." She honestly said which really surprised me about her control but melted my heart on how considerate she was to me.

"O-okay…" I said that's the only word that came out from my mouth.

"Go ahead and change. I'll stay here until your heat calms down." She told me but I know it wasn't that easy.

"Ceres, it won't calm down just like that…" I mumbled but she just chuckled.

"Just change up and lay down to your bed. I'll handle it." She chuckled as she said that.

"I thought you wont do anything?!" I was kinda pissed over it.

"Don't worry, we won't be making love tonight. Just hurry up and sleep here." She laughed at me but I just pouted as I put some new clothes then jumped onto my bed where she was sitting comfortably.

I just laid there and waited for me to get to sleep but I can't. I sat up and groaned until I felt a cold-warm hand on my shoulder and pulled me back to my bed. I was being laid down on my bed while underneath my pillow was her right arm. I was about to groan when I felt her left arm begin to snaked around my waist and pull me closer to her. I was definitely blushing from that gesture but I didn't let it, instead, I faced her. I snuggled my head closer to her chest which I could swear that I could hear her heartbeat was beating so fast and hard. I wanted to look at her reaction but no, I didn't instead, I just let this sound calmed and cloaked me for tonight's sleep which I am smiling for.

Ceres

I was shocked at what she was thinking while I was cleaning up in the kitchen. I wanted to ask or tease her about it but I just let it go. I don't want to ruin this night for us which made me ask her for an evening stroll.

As we reached the lake, it was indeed peaceful just being with her next to me. Frizabelle was really cute and beautiful in my eyes as I saw her taking her clothes off but there was something more. Her heat was calling out for me. I must endure the raging heat building inside of me too. I just watched her and the surroundings. I don't want anyone, set their eyes on her. Never. Not in my watch.

When she went out with panicked written onto her face, I went closer wanting her even more but composure is a must. I put my coat around her shoulder since I don't want her to get cold and immediately took her in my arms as a bride of mine. I used my vampire speed back to the house then took her to her room. I laid her down – seeing her naked made me thirst for her. I'm hungry for her but I didn't let anything.

I told her that we won't be making love till she gives her heart to me plus, I don't want it to happen with the influence of the heat. So, when she's back onto her bed, I calmed down but she was still in heat and I know it won't just pass by but I'm her mate and I knew I can do something without doing it with her. When she got up, I pulled her back but this time within my arms wrapped around her and I knew she felt comfortable and the heat from her suddenly calming. I cooed and caressed her within my arms as I hymned some song that came into my mind.

I knew she was sleeping but my urge was getting over me. I looked steadily into her sleeping face that made me smile and kissed her lips so deep. She returned it while she was still sleeping. I distanced from her to watch her face closely because if I didn't, oh gosh, I might have ended up doing it with her. But I hope it happens soon.

"Until the day you want me into your life. I won't do anything for now. I love you my queen, Belle." I whispered then kissed her forehead and slept next to her.
