Kria's POV...
What's wrong with me? Why did I ask him not to leave me? I just knew him for a few days. 'What are you doing, Kria? You are falling into his trap. Have you not seen how men use girls these days? He took your kiss forcefully and ordered you around but you still kiss him back and hug him? Seriously?' What's happening with me? What is he doing to me? I'm not myself from the time I met him. I never went on a date or had feelings because I didn't feel like it but with him it feels right. I mean, Why now?
Whatever it may be. I've to fight these feelings and keep it to myself.
Remember Kria, never give in. Men take advantage of that. We'll wait and see what his intentions are.
But what if he really likes me?
'He would've told me directly like a gentleman not to kiss like some caveman'. 'You, like that caveman side of him, don't lie'. Arghh.. Hey, you stop interrupting me. I've to sleep. Bye.
These were the thoughts which kept me awake till 4am. I didn't get out of my room the next day so I slept thinking about him the whole day but now I've to wake up, get ready and board the flight and reach New York. New York!!! Oh my God, I've not even packed yet. The flight is in the evening. Darn you Adrian for keeping me awake. Why didn't anybody wake me up?
I took a shower, got ready and went downstairs. "Good Morning, Uncle. Where is everyone?" I asked Manik's father.
"Good Morning Kria, they all left for your home to pack your stuff up so that you could rest a bit due to your anemia. I'm leaving for your house now. I thought that driver would drop you but as you're already up and about, come with me" Rakesh uncle told me.
We left to my place and we were having a conversation about New York and reached my home in a few minutes. We entered my home, after greeting Hershey and Kisses, I went to dining area as I heard voices from there,
Everybody was having breakfast. ''Good morning papa, mama, good morning to my beautiful God mothers and handsome godfathers, good morning girls and Monkey Man. Good morning Little sis'' I said and sat beside Jia to have breakfast but on my left was Adrian. Manik stuck his tongue out as a reply and I did the same.
''Kria, is this the way how I raised you?'' my mom questioned. ''What did I do now Mamma?''
''You wished everyone, why can't you wish Adrian and his friends?'' she said. Typical Indian mothers. ''Sorry mom, I forgot he was here. Good morning Addie, Justin, Michael, Aaron and Axel'' I said and sat to have breakfast. ''Good morning Baby'' he whispered into my ears.
I ignored him and had my breakfast.
"So dolls, I've found some places for you to stay so I'll book a hotel and you girls can go and select one that is good and also near to the company. Jia and Ayra will stay in the hotel and go to their college to check out the campus and later will stay with you girls for a few days until they move into their dorm. If you girls need anything, ask Rakesh and Hansika or Matthew as he's already there" My father told me and I looked at Misha and found her blushing. Natasha coughed dramatically and bumped Misha's shoulder but Aadya started speaking before the elders could ask anything.
"That seems great Ry uncle but what about transportation and Visa? We only have a visiting Visa. We need a work visa and all within a few weeks" Oh no! I never thought about visas.
"Kishore has spoken to one of his friends and he said you girls can apply for the work visa from there itself. I'm warning you all to behave properly and stop acting like monkeys" Gerard uncle (Nat's father) told us with a warning tone.
"Gerry... when I'm with them, why will you worry?" I told him to which he said "That's why I'm worried. You give keys to these monkeys" and everyone started laughing while I poured at him. He's only funny when I talk to him where as he's a strict military man.
"Mr Rao, Mr Martin and Mr Walton, I'm sorry for interrupting but I've a small suggestion" Adrian said to our dads'.
"What is it Mr Pierce?" Kishore Uncle (Aadya's dad) asked him.
Adrian's POV...
"What is it Mr Pierce?" Mr Rao asked me.
"Please call me Adrian. I just had a thought that your daughters could stay in our pac.... We live in Long Island and we have 3 mansions in our estate that we aren't using right now and there are a few flats available.
There are 8 bedrooms. It is near to the company. It's almost 50 miles from where Ms Jia and Ms Ayra's college. As I've studied there I can ask the authority schedule their classes from Monday to Thursday so that they could stay with their sisters on weekends. Instead of a dorm, I could find them an apartment with good security for their convenience and it is a lot safer. Travelling also, we could manage to pick the little ones up from our office on Thursdays after their classes.
Manik and we will be staying in the very next building to the girls who will be working in our company. We will ask one of our drivers to drop them to university and the girls could join us to the office. It is a win win" I almost told pack house but corrected myself.
"It's a great idea Adrian but we don't want to impose on you" My would be Father-in-law stated.
"If you feel that way, you can pay the rent but if you give more than that my mom will be ashamed of me for asking money from Manik's relatives. Also Ahana will be with girls all the time" I used Ahana card and looked at Manik but he was shaking his head. "What?" I mind linked him. "Bro, I gave you the Alpha title because I can't take proper decisions but you are worse than me. If they stay so near to the pack house, where are you gonna train the wolves?" Aaron asked me before Manik could say anything. "Oh no! I didn't think about it but they can stay in the houses that we have built once we get our mates". I can't believe I lied to them.
"Adrian, what happened? You are looking at the wall for at least 10 minutes now. Are you okay?" Mrs Jahnavi asked me.
"I'm sorry ma'am. I was thinking about something. What did you ask me?" I told her.
"We would really appreciate your offer and for accepting to take care of our daughters. I'm relieved that they will be close to Manik and you guys but you have to take their rent and maintenance money or else we won't accept your kind gesture" Mrs Grishma negotiated and I accepted for the time being.
"I called my father and told him about this situation and he said the places will be ready by the time we reached there. Also Manik's place is also ready. Problem solved. Let's take our mates and leave" Axel said, making Ahana jump. She got marked yesterday and completed the mating process. She could mind link now and she is still getting used to it.
"You can't behave this way, act like a half human you are but thank you for the solution. I guess all we needed was your mate for you to be a smart beta" Michael stated.
"Now we can keep our mates closer and still keep them away from wolves until we tell them slowly" my brother told happily.
"Axel, stop staring at Jia. Luna is looking at you like she will kill you any moment now" Justin stated and I looked at Kria and she was breathing smoke out of her nose. I slid my hand under the table and patted her thighs to calm her down and it worked, mate bond is magic. She stopped glaring at him and looked at Ahana and asked her "What is that bruise on your neck?"
