Kria's POV...
"Where are we going?" I asked him as I knew he was not going to talk to me in the parking lot.
"There is a park in front of this hotel. We will talk there" he said and we went to the park and I sat on a bench.
"Ma'am, please do not interrupt me until I finish talking. I want you to know everything before you do something that you regret or would hurt you" he requested, his eyes were sincere.
"Alright" I sighed and asked him to start but was shocked when he kneeled in front of me.
"Luna, once you and Adrian get together, you would be like a mother to everyone. Please do not ask what I mean as it is not my story to tell. Adrian wants to tell these to you personally. That is the reason I'm scared of you because I respect you and not because you are stronger than me. I was a player until I landed in India. According to me all women were into money and good looks and I took that as an opportunity to sleep with many girls. I did not misuse them by telling them lies such as I loved them or anything like that but they knew what they were getting themselves to. I made sure they knew they were going to be just one night stand. In fact every one of us was like that except Manik.
Adrian changed when he was 22 as he saw his Aunt dying because she lost her ma.. I mean Husband and he started craving for a soul mate too. I thought it was nonsense to love someone and die when they leave us, cheat on us or die so it's better to just be with them for pleasure but I regret choosing that path now because I know how it feels to have a soul mate.
Luna, you might kill me after I say this but if I get to say this out loud, then I'm ready to die. I love Jia. I'm sorry but I could not help falling for her despite knowing her age and innocence. I never believed in Love and soul mates until I saw her. I can kidnap her and make her mine if I want to but I can't hurt her because I know how much her family means to her and trust me when I say this, I can never imagine hurting you. I know how much you mean to her and how much she means to you. I would rather die than hurt you or her because you are the most important person to Adrian and Crescent Moon pac.. I mean Family and Adrian is one of my best friends.
Luna, please don't ask me to stay away from Jia because each moment I stay away from her kills me little by little every day. Please"
He held my hand and tears were flowing from his eyes.
"How do you know for sure that Jia is your soul mate? I mean Humans are wrong all the time. They will fall in love, get married, fall out of love and get divorced all the time. What makes you sure?" I asked him.
"We know for sure because there is something we have to tell you. Not only you but Jia and Natasha too. It is not the right time because we need to get accepted by you guys before we tell you. I promise it would not hurt anyone but it is really important too. Please wait for Adrian to tell you Ma'am" he said, a little shocked by my calm response and I can tell he was anxious too.
"I will accept you loving Jia but on one condition"
NEXT CHAPTER: WE NEED TO TALK
Kria's POV...
"I will accept you loving Jia but on one condition" I told him. His teary eyes are wide with anticipation and he looks like a puppy. My eyes filled up too and I was sure I can't hate this guy.
"Anything but telling you the secret that Adrian is supposed to tell" he told me, holding his hand over his heart,
"You have to wait till she turns 18. That will be in 3 months and no hanky-panky until she finishes her studies, that is to be done after you get married" I warned him.
"I can do that Ma'am. I will die before I hurt her. I will support her through her dreams. Her love is enough for me" he said while wiping his tears.
I got up and helped him get up as he was still kneeling and told him,
"One more condition" he looked at me anxiously while wiping his knees.
"Call me Kiki and don't be scared of me because for one, I am younger than you and I like you and I do not want you to be scared of me unless you misbehave with my sister" I told him and pulled him for a hug which surprised him.
"Okay Kiki. Please don't tell Adrian I cried because he will tease me"
"I won't. We are friends now and let's make Adrian cry. Now let's go before they think I murdered you" we laughed and went to the restaurant only to see Kishore Uncle glaring at Justin who was sitting between some people presumably his parents with a bleeding nose and mouth.
WHAT HAPPENED HERE?
Adrian's POV....
I was looking at Axel and Kria from the terrace. I saw their interaction and felt immensely happy when she smiled at him and hugged him. Thank God, I was worried about what he might tell her. I guess it was only about Jia. I felt someone wanted to mind link me as I shut it off because I wanted to concentrate on my mate but the constant nagging behind the barrier pissed me off and decided to listen to the person before I kill him for disturbing me while I tried to concentrate on my mate. 'you mean stalk?' my wolf mocked me.
"What is it?" I asked whoever was trying to mind link me.
"You have to come here. Kishore Uncle is punching Justin" Manik shouted and shut his mind link before I ask him anything else.
What is wrong with Harrison twins today?
I ran downstairs to see Manik and Mr. Ryan holding Aadya's father. Aadya was crying in Ahana's arms and Justin's nose and mouth were bleeding. Just then my parents arrived with Justin's parents too.
"Who did this to my son?" Nathaniel asked no one in particular.
"Don't get angry Nathan but it is his mate's father who punched because he was hugging Aadya. They are humans" I mind linked him and his shoulders relaxed and helped his son to sit and gave him tissue papers. I apologised to everyone and made them sit so we could talk and just then Axel and Kria arrived smiling but got shocked looking at the atmosphere.
"Steer clear of my dad if you want to live a happy and long life with my sister" she whispered to him but we all werewolves heard her and smiled.
"I am sorry for my son's reckless behaviour but may I know what he did to deserve your wrath Mr..?" Nathan asked, extending his hands to Mr. Kishore.
"Rao, you can call me Kishore, Mr. Harrison. You do not have to apologise for his misbehaviour. He kissed my daughter on the forehead near the restroom and all I saw was red" he said, accepting the hand shake.
"I once again apologise but Kishore, we are meeting here because he wanted me to ask your daughter's hand in marriage as he is in love with her and she loves him too. She asked him to talk to you directly as your blessings are important to her as well as for our son. We really want Aadya to be our daughter because we love her too. Kindly accept my apology and let our children be happy" Nathan directly came to a point.
"I accept your apology but they hardly know each other for 2 months. How can I know that they are going to be happy? I'm sorry to be rude but I know how Americans get divorced all the time" oops, that hurts.
"I agree with your words but do you not see any divorces or unhappy marriages in India? That does not mean happy marriage is a myth. Is it? All I am asking you is to give them a chance to get to know each other and then decide if they want to spend their life together or not and in exchange I guarantee you that My son will keep his hands to himself until they get married" Did someone tell you that Nathan is a wonderful negotiator?
"Uncle, I have known Justin since I came to New York and trust me, your daughter is in good hands" Manik said.
"Mr. Rao, I'd rather die than hurt Aadya. I will make sure that she will be happy and I will love her until I die" Justin kneeled and held his hands.
"Alright. I'm sorry for judging you before knowing you and punching you but I want you to maintain 6 feet distance from my daughter until you are married. Ayra and Kria, make sure he maintains distance with Aadya" Mr Rao asked his youngest daughter and my mate. Once the girls nodded their heads, he got up and hugged Justin and we all went to eat.
"My dad isn't this easy to convince" I heard Kria say and she went bumping my shoulder knowingly. I was about to walk away but my mom's voice made me stop right on track.
Today was a long day and why do I have this feeling that it is not going to end soon?
"Adrian Tyler Pierce, We need to talk"
