Thursday – Morning
There's nothing to share since our day to day routines were still the same like kids kept running wild within the pack house while their mother along with my Mom cooked in the kitchen doing laundry. Just household chores for the ladies while some of the adult women or men kept patrolling throughout the entire pack's perimeter. As some of the teenagers, went to school and did some teen stuff which included me. But for this specific day, everyone who has been left in the pack house was totally focused on cleaning for the upcoming visitor this coming Friday. Few pack members didn't like the idea since our visitors were vampires but to the Luna, a visitor was a visitor. Hospitality was a must especially my mother was the Luna of this pack.
"Honey, clean up your room after school." Mom told me which I whined but her knowing smile suddenly plastered into her lips that only meant that I have to do it or she'll be the one who'll deal with it. I didn't like it one bit then me and the gang went to the school.
I don't want to think about what was happening in the house right now which made me focus on all the classes that I have now. Some teachers were shocked seeing me participate or listening to the class but honestly, I just don't want to think of cleaning after school. Like I said, nothing much happened around school as well till we all reached the house and immediately went to the task that my mother assigned us to do before we all went to school.
"Mom is right, my room was still not in good shape at all." I mumbled to myself as I looked around my room after I entered it.
Thinking way back there, I almost changed into a rogue but the good part of it I am relieved that Ceres was so damn okay and she's doing great but busy with my Dad. I don't know why my Dad, the Alpha, occupied my mate like that. I really wanted to spend my entire time with her every time we're at home but since Dad came into the picture, I can't have time with her – I mean literally, no time at all.
If she's not with Dad, she's on patrol or if not, she's with the kids teaching arts and music that made me sort of - well, really jealous. If I ever found her free time, my Mom always got her with the kitchen; she was a great cook like Mom and if not, she's training with the gang along with Vincent and Avery.
Thursday - Night
Seriously, my whole Thursday inside and outside the house, everything was so gloomy without her next to me. But there was something I'm still kinda satisfied with even just for an hour, she's sleeping with me the whole hour of her rest. To tell you this – I'm not really satisfied though but I must endure this as I hope I won't lose my cool for tomorrow's gathering.
Friday – Morning
4 am
'My queen, I'll head downstairs and prepare your meal since I have to go to school early.'
I just groaned when I heard Ceres voice within my thoughts which made me roll to my right to hug her but she wasn't there already. I jolted and immediately scanned my room.
"Ceres, did you leave already?" I asked through our link which I heard her giggled.
'Bathroom. I'm still in the bathroom, Belle.'
"Can I peek?" I asked without ill intention.
'You can but I might take you instead.'
"Fine, come here after I want to hold you for a while." I sighed before I started to yawn.
'Alright, just wait a sec.'
I was about to doze off when I heard the door of my bathroom turned and she was drying her hair while a crimson red robe was covering her body. She's sexy which made me shake my head mentally which she just chuckled. I sighed since she heard it perfectly clear.
"Ceres…" I called her as I opened my arms wide while I was still on the bed sitting.
She glanced at me but smiled before she went to me and snuggled her head to my neck. She's smelling me but the next thing I knew she was kissing it already. I moaned as she found my soft spot under my jaw.
"Dammit. I want to take you right now but soon, my queen. So better to be ready since I won't be able to stop when it comes." Ceres whispered to my ears which made me giggle but I am blushing as well.
"Fine. go on make me some breakfast. I'll sleep for a little bit more." I said as I yawned before she kissed my forehead and went on changing her clothing which I didn't catch since I was totally knocked out.
5:30 am
After the early morning greeting from my mate, I slept like a child for some more minutes. By the time I woke up, I did my daily routine before heading downstairs which I knew my food awaited me. Same old routine happened in the kitchen as well but the only difference was that Ceres wasn't here then we went to school.
Usual morning happened as well within the school grounds but as the time was ticking, me and my gang were getting nervous from tonight's dinner gathering. I can tell even though we're in different classes, I can feel their nervousness along with mine as I watched and waited for the time of school to be off.
"Okay class, I'll dismiss you 15 minutes early because I have some urgent meeting at my wife's relatives. See you on Monday and have a great weekend." Our last professor for this Friday said as he dismissed his class so early.
Everyone in the class was rejoicing apart from me and Avery. Both of us went to our locker to put our school stuff on then waited for the others so we could go home together. Avery and I were the first one who reached the parking area where Ethan's black and white Pajero awaits for us as a service.
'Mine, still at school?'
"Yep. Just waiting for the others, we're at the parking area." I replied while eating some nachos with Avery who was texting someone other than Raven.
'I see, I'll be home before dinner.'
I groaned mentally then took a sip from my leftover chocolate milk. Then I felt Avery staring at me so intently.
"What?" I asked as I glanced at her.
"Missed her so much?" Avery asked me calmly.
"Yeah…just one day not be able to hug or kiss her, it really made me like this." I replied as I took another snack and its potato chips.
Avery giggled as I kept on eating so I could forget missing my mate even just for a bit and to forget some vampires are coming to the house full of werewolves.
Before I could finish my potato chips, the three people we're waiting for finally came and drove immediately but before we could go straight home, Ethan took a side turn at the sweet shops to buy some dessert for tonight's gathering. Actually, I think it was for us alone. Every time we're not feeling great, we always bought 2 – 5 gallons just to ease our panicked states.
5:50 pm
We all arrived at home and gladly the visitor wasn't here just yet. As we went to greet my parents, mom jumped out to the couch as she heard a beep sound in the kitchen. She roasted a turkey while grilled some meat at the porch next to the kitchen. As for me as well the gang, we all went to our respective rooms to change our clothes and prepared ourselves for dinner. Then, I smelled something irritating scent that made me rush down toward the kitchen to see Ceres with a big dead stag on her hands as she drained the blood of it to some wine bottles that were empty.
"Hello, my queen." Ceres greeted me as she cleaned up and let my father remove the skins of the stag.
"Where have you been?" I asked though I can already tell that she went hunting in the woods with Dad.
"School till lunch then hunt 10 stags or dears out there." Ceres honestly replied to me as she wiped her hands with a dried towel then went to the countertop where I leaned.
She pecked my forehead that made me and Lena growl lowly that made her chuckle. She kissed me on my lips so passionately that I didn't want to let go until the doorbell rang as some pack patrollers linked us that our visitors had arrived.
'Save it for later, my Belle.'
Ceres linked to me as she distanced herself from me before getting the door open while I immediately ran upstairs to get rid of my red cheeks. As I kept myself in posture, I smelled deadly but alluring scents coming down stairs and I can tell they were inside the house as I heard my parents greeted them warmly. I kept on listening but I was interrupted by my mate.
'You okay, my queen?'
"Yeah, just a sec I'll be there." I replied as I closed the bathroom door within my room since I had splashed some cold water to my heated cheeks because of what Ceres told me.
'Okay, Yume and the others are already here.'
"Okay, coming." I said then I took a peek at myself at the mirror then smiled.
Down stairs at the dining room, everyone has their seats and mine was in between Avery and Ceres. Foods were served at the dining table, even the blood for them. We considered their appetite. Everyone felt the tension lurking around the dining room until Mom came in with her chopped turkey.
"So, before we eat dinner, I'm Gregory Marshall, the Alpha of this IrisMoon pack and I welcome you to our home." Dad introduced himself with his calmed gesture and not even using his alpha tone to them. He was just like a natural on this kind of thing – meeting the relatives thing.
"And I'm Irine Marshall the Luna of this pack and I please to meet you." Mom introduced herself with a big smile on her face that was really the opposite of my father who looked emotionless though he was smiling.
"Pleasure is ours, Alpha and Luna. I'm King Corner Aspire and this is my wife Queen Leonora Aspire from the guardian clan of Aspire." The pale old man introduced himself along with his wife with his husky and grumpy voice. He might be pale and old but you can still see the beautiful strong man he was.
"So, shall we eat before going to the business?" Dad asked politely to his guests.
"Of course." The old man named Corner replied to my Dad with a crappy laugh.
We ate quietly until Ceres stood up and excused herself for a moment. Actually, I'm getting nervous without her next to me and even Avery can feel my sudden stiffness.
"Mine…I'm getting nervous here." I linked Ceres and she just chuckled to me.
She's not helping at all until I felt a fixed gazed on me that made me look at her – Corner's wife looking at me intently then smiled that made me bow my head for respect.
"So, Rean, can you tell me who was your mate?" Corner broke the ice as he asked Rean who was just eating some raw and bloody meat on her plate.
I can tell her stiffness when he asked her but she took a deep breath then smiled.
"My mate wasn't a vampire or human instead a wolf and the elder daughter of the Alpha." Rean honestly replied to him.
"I asked who is your mate, I didn't ask what type of being is your mate." Corner seriously asked Rean that made her bow as submissive.
"Her name is Francesca Marshall." Rean introduced my sister as she looked at her in her worried face but my sister smiled at her then met their eyes. My sister never changed, so bold and confident if she wanted to show off.
"I'm Francesca and known as Franz. I travelled a lot if you're going to ask and if you were worried about Rean, I won't do anything that will harm her. I'm also willing to take her along with my travels if that's okay with you?" My sister introduced herself before she straight forward asked the guardians of Rean.
"What an insolent mate you have here Rean but Francesca, you don't need to ask us instead ask her yourself. She's your mate, right?" Corner frankly said to my sister which exactly made Dad stiffed a little when he heard him say the insolent word but Francesca wasn't even bothered by it.
"Heh, you are right about that." Francesca giggled along with Corner. Seriously, these two were weirder than me and Ceres.
"And you young lady, I heard that you managed to break my granddaughter into pieces without touching her, is that right?" Corner directly asked me after with my sister which I was caught off guard but I still managed to nod as my response. I was nervous though.
"Don't worry young lady; I won't hurt you for not killing an abomination for the both parties." Corner chuckled that made something in me twitched in a very wrong way. I glared at him.
I don't like his words and Lena agreed with me.
"Sorry if my words will turn rude to your deaf ears but I don't like a single bit of your insolent words toward my mate which the last time I heard was your granddaughter. Also get this to your stubborn thick head that if you ever lay a finger or say anything ill about my Ceres, mark my words, I will be glad to shred you into pieces in front of your wife." I warned Corner with my seriousness and my soon to be alpha tone that I can feel my Dad's smirking face to me – he was proud.
There was only silence in between the table when Leonora laughed out loud that made everyone in confusion, even her husband.
"Wow, you are something for threatening my husband like I always did. Now, I know the reason why my granddaughter heads over heels for you. You deserved her." Leonora said as she chuckled with her soothing voice and not grumpy.
"After the incident from Celestial parents, I didn't talk to my husband or sleep with him in the same room. Because of his stubbornness and some old rules, I lost a son and daughter that I really get along with though I'm a vampire. Celestial's mother was very tough and can't be touched by anyone whether it was her own kind or us; night creatures. She was something that can get along with everyone she likes. No wonder why the Moon Goddess put her in that situation to prepare the clans and packs for big changes. Wolves and vampires can find a mate within their kinds, humans or even to the hunters clan that's why behind my husband's back, I track my granddaughter's whereabouts and her living through Rean and Franz." Leonora explained as she smiled to everyone, especially to my sister and Rean.
"So it was you. The reason why I need to travel a lot and now I get the thought of you wanting me home as soon as possible." Francesca said as she guessed from Leonora words as she nodded in agreement to the guess of my sister.
"You work for a vampire?" Dad snapped but not in an angry way. My sister told Dad she was directly hired by a royalty to do some search about something since she was good on tracking. She was working as a detective.
"I didn't know it was a vampire. I don't smell her as one when we've met in Transylvania." Francesca replied to our Dad.
Then we've been interrupted by some violin on the door frame of the dining room. Ceres was playing lovingly. It made me relaxed and happy.
"Next time tell if you're going to perform, I would like to play with you." I told her happily as I took a bite from my chocolate ice cream since we're already having desert.
Ceres
They kept on chatting and they didn't even notice I was already there leaning on the door frame and listening to their conversation that I found fascinating and lovely. When everything was settled down, I stepped in with the Frizabelle's violin and played Senbozakura by Lindsey Stirling version.
I played it to them with such joy on the top of my chest because I knew my grandparents were happy for Rean and me since we both found our mates which we both didn't realize were from the same pack and same parents. My cousin slash my doctor would turn out as my in law as well. But there were a lot of things I needed to clear up with my mate step by step. I need to answer all her questions as I can but tonight, it's not the deal here. I want them to be happy with my past along with my present and soon to be future. Frizabelle Marshall was indeed my present and future.
