“Excuse me?” Clint says, raising an eyebrow at Cara.
“I respect your choice father. But you will also respect mine. I’m old enough to make decisions about who I will and will not sleep with. Rik and I have gotter much closer while you were away. I love him. I want to be with him. If that’s not here, then that’s fine. But we will be together.”
I turn to her. “You love me?”
She smiles at me. “You’re surprised?”
This amazing, beautiful woman, my mate, has fallen in love with me before she knows she’s my mate. I take her face in my hands. “I am so in love with you Cara
Nelson.”
We are staring into each other’s eyes, about to kiss, when Clint clears his throat and reminds us that we are not alone.
Without breaking eye contact with Cara, I address Clint. “What’s it going to be Clint. Are we staying here or going to the packhouse?”
He grunts but agrees to let me stay.
After Cara and I shower, Clint tells us about his time with Ailduin and Aolis. They wrote the story of Clint and Lily as well as Donovan and Andra. I can tell that reliving his time with his mate when she was alive has brought both happiness. and sadness to Clint. I also know that once Cara and I are mated, we will move into the packhouse permanently and Clint will be alone. I hope he is able to find his way without Cara. Maybe Dad can convince him to move into the packhouse again, or maybe take on training twice a day instead of just once so he can continue to train his daughter.
In the week before her birthday, I find time to sneak away from Cara to order her birthday present. I’ve been thinking about it for a while but haven’t had time to go have it made. Between us spending all our free time together, training, school, preparation for graduation, preparation for Cara’s birthday and now beginning preparation for my Alpha ceremony, life has been crazy.
Cara doesn’t realize it, but my Alpha ceremony will also include her Luna ceremony. I feel confident after her evening with Liam that she will choose me. She is mine and I am hers. It will be official on her birthday.
The night before her birthday, I tell her I’m sleeping in the packhouse and she should stay in her father’s house. She seems confused, but I want her to see me for the first time as her mate at her party. I use the excuse tha
I have to help my mother get ready for her party, which isn’t a lie. I want everything to be perfect, special for my mate on her birthday.
On the morning of her birthday, I send her a text wishing her a happy birthday. I don’t want to speak to her in case she recognizes us as her mate from our voice. I let her know her first birthday present is waiting for her at her door.
Mate: You got me another dress?
Me: This one is for a very special day. Do you like it?
Mate: I love it. It’s beautiful.
Me: I can’t wait to see you tonight.
Mate: Me too. I still say you could have stayed the night. Then we’d know now if we’re mates.
Me: Are you worried that we aren’t?
Mate: No, but I’d like to know for sure.
Me: It’s only a few hours away, love. Enjoy your morning with your father.
Mate: Ok, see you soon
Me: I love you Cara.
Mate: I love you too Rik.
The dress I got her is a sand color. It will go well with her hair, but it will also go well with the other gift that I am bringing with me tonight to give to her. I’m wearing a suit with a button-down shirt that matches her dress. Again, we will look like a couple and after tonight, there will be no question.
I help my mother prepare for the party. Cara agreed to have it at the packhouse. She has met so many of the pack members over the last month, that we decided to invite everyone. And since the entire pack knows that she’s my mate, almost everyone is coming. It will be a huge event. We’ve set up the inside for dancing with food and tables around the dance floor for eating and drinking. Outside, at the back of the packhouse, we have set up twinkling lights, similar to what they have at Ethereal. She really loved the look and I think we’ve been able to recreate. it here for her special day.
There are flowers everywhere. Every bouquet has flowers that mean love in them. We’ve also set a bouquet of Lily of the Valley on either side of the entrance to the main hall. My mother and I discussed it and we felt this is the best way to include Lily Nelson on this special day.
The guests begin to arrive about an hour before Cara. The packhouse fills up quickly and the atmosphere is filled with excitement. Liam arrives. We shake hands and go our separate ways. One of us will have to go off and lick our wounds. tonight, and it won’t be me. ss.to
My father clinks his glass to get everyone’s attention. It’s time. Cara and Clint have arrived. I can feel my heart rate increasing. My palms are sweating. This is it. The moment that I’ve been waiting months for, the moment when I expect to start my life with the love of my life, my mate.
I hear her walking in the hall and the smell of her vanilla and honey is almost overwhelming. Her scent is so much stronger now. There’s no way she doesn’t feel it. Kai pushes forward, ready to acknowledge his mate.
The moment she walks into the room, I know I’m right. Artemis is front and center. Her eyes go directly to mine. “Mate.” She whispers and her brilliant smile. is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen in my life.
“Mate.” Kai and I confirm together before walking to our mate and taking her in the most passionate kiss we’ve ever shared.
