Ava's point of view
"What do you mean you'll see."
I smirked at Darien's confused face before twirling around humming to myself as I settled down on the black leather couch that was on the side of his office.Luckily this time there was no tension as we were both occupied by our thoughts.
I wonder what will happen now with me seeing as Darien's wolf,Jett currently hates my guts.Darien on the other hand I couldn't tell,I mean sometimes I think I see love and adoration in his eyes but then it would quickly disappear.God I don't even know what to think anymore.I snapped out of my thoughts when I heard shuffling and realized that Darien was heading towards me.
I sat up straight as I didn't know what to expect when he reached me.My heart picked up pace as he stood Infront of me,looking down as if he wanted to get something off his chest.Finally he shook his head before extending his hand out for me to take.I placed my left hand in his right hand and slowly got of the couch.My heart started thumbing louder and louder against my chest when Darien squeezed my hand before opening the door and leading us out onto the passage way.
We took a couple of turns before arriving in a bleach white kitchen with a medium sized table enough for twelve people.The table was surrounded by cream white cupboards from top to bottom and a little passage way that lead probably to the chefs kitchen.At the table there was a guy with light brown hair and a bit of stable who seemed to be sucking off some girls face.Looking at him now,he looks very familiar.
Darien cleared his throat receiving attention from the two lovers.We all stared at each other silently before the male got up with a grin plastered on his face and walked closer to us before pulling Darien in for a bro hug then patted his back.I whimpered at the loss of skin contact with Darien as he attempted to pat the man back but froze when he heard me whimpering.
I stared at the ground trying to hide my embarrassment but shuddered when Darien's hand found it's way on my chin,pulling it up and making me face him.A smirk appeared on his face as he tilted his head slightly before asking me the one question that had me wishing I was still unconscious in his bed.
"What was that love."
An attempted frown appeared on my face but I ended up laughing lightly as I shook my head freeing it from his grasp but froze when I realised that we had attracted an audience.Instead of one female sitting at the table there was now two with another male.The male was tall with black hair and faded blue eyes.He was definitely fit and almost as big as Darien but Darien was definitely bigger.
I face palmed myself as I couldn't believe how dirty my thoughts sounded but relaxed when I heard Darien chuckling besides me.He wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled me closer to him.My nerves calmed down as my body rejoiced having Darien so close to us.I watched calmly as he began introducing me to the people in the room.
"This is Riccardo with the 'light brown hair'..."
He quoted in the air which earned him a smack on his perfectly sculptured chest and a frown from me.He shook his head lightly whilst smiling and continued.
"And this besides him is Luca,the Alpha of this pack,and that next to him is his mate and our Luna Bella.And lastly that tiny figure over there is Sierra,Riccardo's mate."
Mmmh this is interesting,everyone here seems to have a mate.I wonder if this is some place were people with mates go or maybe this is some sort of mate house,but I remember Darien saying that Luca was the Alpha.Mmmh strange,he kind of reminds me of my dog back home.I once again snapped out of my thoughts when Darien burst out laughing smacking his thigh over and over again.I wonder what made him burst out laughing like that.
The girl named Sierra got up before rolling her eyes making her way towards me.She linked her arm with mine before pulling me away from a crying Darien.She tapped my shoulder before talking to me for the first time.
"Don't worry about him, I think he needs a bro moment away from you."
My heart sank at her words and I felt tears threatening to come out for the second time today.Suddenly I found Bella linking her arm with my other free one sending a scowl towards Sierra.Even though I could tell that Bella was trying to reassure me, I knew for sure that they were both hiding something from me about Darien.Deciding against questioning them I kept quiet and walked forward following the both of them until we entered a large cooking area. I followed Bella and Sierra's actions and sat down on one of the stools.Soon enough a large man with an apron wrapped around his waist appeared and smiled whilst bowing at us.
"Good afternoon Luna and female gamma."
"Afternoon Cook.Is our dinner ready."
"Yes female gamma but if I am ask who is this fine young lady joining you today."
"Cook this is Ava,beta Darien's mate."
I sat there and shyly waved at the chef with a smile on my face trying to look as friendly as possible.
"Aah so she is the beta female then."
"Yes."
"No."
Bella and Sierra spoke at the same time.I didn't even understand what the hell they were talking about but the look on Sierra's face told me that she didn't think I deserved whatever title the Cook gave me.On the other hand Bella looked slightly annoyed with Sierra but brushed it off when our food finally arrived.A delicious plate of lasagna was placed in front of me with a silver fork in it.Immediately after all three of us were served and Cook said his goodbyes I dug in and moaned when the flavours reached my tongue.
I couldn't even wait for another second and immediately I dug in again.I heard Bella's light laughs as she stared at me and continued digging in her own food.I didn't even bother checking up on Sierra as I had much more important things to do; finishing up this amazing lasagna.
After we had all finished eating I got up and collected all three plates before going in the direction I saw Cook leaving in.I soon found him dishing up more plates and decided to ask one of the near by cleaners were the sink was but looks like they had a better idea as they took the plates that were in my hands and left.As I was about to leave I suddenly remembered to thank Cook as this was the best meal I've had in a while.
My mind immediately went to Sophie and her home cooked meals.I wonder how she is doing and if she was okay at all. I can't believe I'm here enjoying life whilst she's back at the apartment putting up with Rellik and Derek on her own.
I jumped when I felt someone placing their hands on my shoulders staring directly at me with a worried expression on their face.
"Are you okay miss."
"I'm fine Cook,sorry I was just in a bad space."
He seemed to except my answer as he nodded his head and walked away from me.A couple of seconds later he returned with a plate with steak in it and weird red liquid inside it.
"Please give this to beta Darien,he hasn't eaten anything since you arrived here."
I nodded my head a bit shocked that Darien hasn't eaten anything.I was about to walk away when something seemed to catch my attention.
"Hey Cook what is this red substance."
But Cook only shook his head and walked away.
