HIS MATE

CHAPTER FIVE

We got to one fancy restaurant my parents and I come to every Saturday, “Wolf bite”. I got down from Demitrey’s car after an awkward ride and walked over to Ethan. We entered the restaurant and sat at the VIP section in the farthest booth. Just as we sat down, a waiter, who is the son of the owner of the restaurant, Dave, Came up to our table. “It’s so nice to see you here Ariana. What are you doing here? It’s not even Saturday? Dave said as he hugged me.

“Just came here with a few friends” I responded. We placed our order and he left to get our order.

“You know him,” Erik asked.

“Yup” I replied eating a cookie that was on the table.

“How?” This time Demitrey asked,

I looked up from my phone and said, “My parents and I come here every Saturday for lunch and dinner ever since we moved here”

I saw them exchange a look of confusion but I ignored them.

Dave brought our food and gave me a special dish. I gave him a wide and wild grin and said “You know what I like”

“Of course mia Regina “Dave said calling me his Italian nickname meaning my queen.

“That’s why I love you il Mio re” I said meaning my king.

Dave left us to our lunch after pecking me on my forehead and I saw Demitrey gripping onto the glass table tightly.

“What did he just call you?” Catherine asked.

“Mia Regina” I said as I dove into my favourite dish.

“Meaning?” Bella asked.

“My queen” I shrugged.

Demitrey let out a low growl and I looked at him 100% sure I heard that.

“And you called him il Mio re, meaning?” Ethan asked.

“My king,” I said, I was sure Demitrey’s eyes flashed gold and this time I wasn’t imagining it.

“Wellllllllllll” Ethan said elongating the “L” trying to change the topic. “Let’s continue our discussion about you”.

“Ok,” I said as I sip the dark red juice that looks like blood, “Where did I stop?”

“Girl you have the shortest memory anyone can have,” Ethan said dramatically.

“Are you always this dramatic?” I asked as I winked at him and he gave me a cute pout.

“You stopped when you said you moved when you were two,” Erik said trying to stop us from our childish argument.

“Oh yeah, so as I was saying, we moved when I was two because my parents especially my mom, couldn’t handle the loss of my two brothers,” I said while eating.

“Two brothers?” Ethan and Erik chorused.

“Yeah,” I said.

“How did they die,” Bella asked.

“I don’t know, my mom doesn’t like talking about it. But dad told me I was a twin. My younger brother who was just three days old at that time old was killed and my twin brother was not found, so they assumed he was also dead. In order to prevent me from also dying, we moved.” I said feeling the loss of something I never knew.

“Twin brother?, what was his name” This time Benny spoke up.

I looked at him and took In his blue eyes.

“I feel like I know him,” I said to myself.

“I don’t know I said looking down at my food. Even though I do not have any appetite again.

“All I know is that his name started with a ‘B’” I said as a tear rolled down my face.

“Hey stop crying,” Demitrey said as he bent down to wipe my tears. “It’s alright.” I gave him a small smile. I couldn’t eat my food again. I had always imagined what my brothers would have been like. There’s this hatred in me, anytime I think of who cut the lives of my brothers short.

“I will have my revenge,” I said to myself.

“Well, enough about me.” I said putting a fake smile on my face.” Would you guys like to come to my house tomorrow for dinner? My mom has always been bugging me about my friends”

“Yipeeee,” Ethan said with all his teeth showing, his canine seemed to be longer than usual but I ignored it thinking my mind was playing tricks on me.

“Must you be so dramatic?” I dramatically rolled mine with a wide smile on my face.

“Sure,” Erik said.

“We will love to come” Catherine and Bella squeaked and Demitrey nodded with his heart-warming smile.

I looked at Benny and I saw him staring at me. He hasn’t spoken to me since the incident with Mr. Kalton Rain. I had this feeling he doesn’t like me, so I didn’t expect him to come for the dinner. I took out my phone and texted my parents about tomorrow’s dinner plan and they agreed.

DEMITREY’S POV:

“I don’t know why my wolf keeps telling me she’s my sister,” Benny said frustrated.

Catherine immediately rushed to his side to prevent his wolf from surfacing.

“This is all so weird,” Bella said while clinging to Erik.

“And I think she’s a wolf,” Ethan said and we all looked at him.

“Come on guys, she and her family eat at the wolf bite every Saturday. That restaurant is for werewolves only. Okay, let’s agree they let some humans eat there. Dave, the Alpha’s son was so close to her. No werewolf who has a mate will be so close to a human like that. And lastly, she drank the blood wine without dying.” Ethan was right.

“You know what? Let’s just wait for the dinner tomorrow. Maybe all our questions will be answered” I said to them.

I saw benny looking so nervous and I knew something was up.

“Are you okay dude?” I asked him through our mind link.

"yeah yeah, my wolf and I just feel so nervous about tomorrow", he responded

I hummed and we closed our mind link and went to our separate rooms
