Chapter 9 - chapter 9: Olimpia

"morning love" Lawrence smiled as I squinted my eyes away from the blinding sun ray coming through the window.

"morning" I yawned and stretched out a little making Lawrence chuckle.

"are you OK?" he asked

"never been better" I replied with sarcasm.

"look baby, I didn't mean to upset you yesterday, I was just worried and looking out for your safety." he spoke sincerely. "I know it seems like I'm being selfish but I swear I just don't want you getting into any trouble."

"I know and I'm sorry for lashing out on you." I sighed

"wanna talk about why you were crying last night?" he asked and I just shook my head no.

"come here" he pulled me into him and wrapped his arms tightly around me while I just lay on his chest. We both stayed in silence and we could hear was each others breathe and heartbeat. It wasn't comfortable silence because I knew Lawrence still wanted to know what was going on in my head and heart and I didn't want to talk about it at all.

"I'm coming OK baby" he told me and got out of bed leaving the room. Sighing, I grabbed my book off the night stand and started reading not feeling like getting out of bed.

"I'm back" Lawrence announced making me turn my head to face him only to find he had a tray with breakfast on it. "I present to you breakfast in bed." he smiled placing the tray before me.

"you didn't have to." I blushed

"you didn't seem like you wanted to get out of bed anytime soon so I guess I did." he chuckled nervously.

"you look cute when you are nervous." I laughed leaning forward as he was sitted opposite me and kissed his perfect lips.

"That's too much" I gasped as Lawrence piled my plate with food.

"you didn't have lunch or dinner last night, you need to eat a whole herd of cattle." he teased

"I'm not a glatton!" I gasped loudly.

"let's see if you'll be saying that a few months from now." he smirked

"what's that supposed to mean?"

"nothing" he shrugged "chocolate syrup?" he raised the bottle as he asked.

"yeah" I nodded and he squirted some over my strawberry pancakes.

"mmh" I moaned with a mouthful of pancakes.

"good?" Lawrence asked and I nodded too busy filling up my empty belly.

I didn't know I was hungry till I finished three quarters of my food and 2 glasses of orange juice.

"I'll take these down stairs." Lawrence told me as he put our dirty dishes and cutlery on the tray.

"no I will, it's the least I can do." I got up quickly.

"I don't mind spoiling you my little mate." he pecked my lips "so I'll take this while you get ready."

"ready for what?" I looked at him curiously.

"you'll see" he pecked me again "oh and you can take all your time" he winked before disappearing out the door.

Smiling, I got out of bed and dragged myself to the bathroom and locked it even though I knew Lawrence would never enter knowing I'm inside but hey, I'm just being sure.

"OMG" I gasped in disbelief of how I was looking as I saw my reflection in the huge mirror. I looked horrible, my hair looked like a birds nest as it was in it's natural curly state, they were bags under my bloodshot eyes and I had black mascara stained on my cheeks with smudged lipstick, I looked like a ghost in those horror movies and worse of all my mate saw me like this.

Still in shock, I took a relaxing shower, making sure to wash my thick hair and shave my legs even though nothing was on them. After that, I dried my hair and decided to leave it in it's natural curly state then went ahead and did my makeup, I was no professional but I knew a thing or 2. Feeling satisfied with what I had done, I proceeded to the closet which was going to be the hardest part of getting ready, back at my pack I would spend 30 or more minutes just picking out an outfit regardless of the occasion.

"too short" I put away the eighth dress I had tried on. I've been in here for 30 minutes and I still haven't found 'the' dress. "come on Jupiter, you need to hurry up" I reprimanded myself and moved to the other side of the closet that also had my clothes and I decided to wear a mid thigh blue floral dress and paired it with gold sandals and sling bag where I placed my phone.

"love" I heard Lawrence call from our bedroom and I quickly passed a hand through my hair before going to meet him all fresh and showered in a pair of dark jeans, a T-shirt that hugged his body and bicker jacket with sneakers.

"you look beautiful." he walked closer and snaked his hand around my tiny waist.

"you don't look shabby yourself." I chuckled

"seriously love, you look breath taking." he made me blushed.

"where are we going?" I asked changing the topic.

"a tour around my- I mean our pack also I wanna introduce you to the members- if it's OK with you that is" he added the last part nervously.

"it's OK" I told him but if I'm being honest, I only said it cause I knew it would mean a lot to him and also I didn't want to let him down or think I said no cause of last night.

"you sure?" he asked as though trying to be certain.

"yea" I nodded.

"great" he smiled taking my hand and we left our room.

"tired?" Lawrence asked half way through the tour. This pack is huge compared to how it's explained in books, it's been 3 hours and I've only seen half of it.

"nope" I shook my head

"you don't wanna take a break?"

"no, there is still loads of stuff I wanna see." I beamed

"things like?" he turned me around so I was now in his arms facing him.

"like the willow tree where the first ever alpha and his Luna would always meet." I spoke shyly while playing with the zip on his jacket.

"I got it chopped down months ago."

"how could you" I hit his shoulder "that's history that should be preserved-" I kept rumbling till he kissed me.

"I was joking" he chuckled against my lips.

"well it wasn't funny." I rolled my eyes at him.

"you just broke my heart." he playfully put a hand over his chest.

"let's go" I took his big hand into my small one.

"wait, let me just get something real quick OK"

"OK" I nodded and he left.

"you must be her, what is that name of yours again-" A tall probably 5'7 lady with long almost golden hair and amber orbs spoke as she approached me.

"Jupiter" I told her.

"right, I'm sure Lawrence has told you about me."

"no, h- he hasn't" I stuttered at the powerful aura she possessed

"of course he wouldn't" she let out a low angry growl scaring me. "very well, I'll introduce myself, I'm Olimpia."

"OK" I nodded wanting to end this conversation already.

"let me give you some advise sweety" she spoke in a bitter warning tone "you better leave my Lawrence alone."

"his my mate" I growled angry at the fact that she called my mate 'hers'

"how cute, you really think Lawrence wants you" she laughed tauntingly "you are just his toy and I, I'm the Luna, his Luna so you better go back to whatever hole you crawled out of, Lawrence is mine." she hissed in my face before leaving.

My blood was boiling and all I wanted to do was tear her limbs off her body as I saw her walk away so gracefully.

By the time Lawrence came back, I had managed to calm myself down from either attacking Olimpia or jumping to conclusion till I had asked my mate.

"I'm sorry I took long" he apologized

"it's OK" I buried my face in his chest and took in deep breaths of his scent that always helped me calm down due to the mate bond.

"let's go" he laced our hands and we walked to the middle of the orchard where the beautiful tree lay.

"it's even more beautiful in person." I marveled at the big tree that was more than a hundred years old.

"not as beautiful as you." Lawrence hugged me and I blushed.

"thanks" I smiled and walked to see the other side of the tree as it was huge only to find a picnic blanket laid nicely on the ground with a basket on top of it. "what's all this?"

"I thought we could have a picnic, the weather looks good for one." he nervously scratched the back of his neck "plus, you seem to like the the history of the tree and we've been walking for hours so I thought we'd have our lunch here."

"I love it, thank you" I smiled

"anything for you baby" he gave me a quick peck before we sat down.

"you were right, it looks even better at night." I smiled as the fairy lights on the tree turned on illuminating the dark night. So after our picnic, Lawrence and I finished the tour then we went back to the orchard where we had dinner and now we were just laying on the blanket with my head on his chest and his arm around me.

"yeah" he chuckled kissing my hair and peaceful silence followed.

'ask him' my subconscious nagged as I really wanted to ask Lawrence about who Olimpia was to him but at the same time I didn't want to ruin the moment. 'just ask him!'

"Josiah" I called and he hummed in response.

"who's Olimpia?"
