As i made my way through the crowd in the ballroom trying to think of someway to give this necklace to Luna kelly and actual make sure she wears it.
Opalines voice inside my head crept in
"what if she doesn't accept the gift?" she said
"i don't know, maybe we might need to tell her about the lamiae"
"she won't believe you natasha! , she doesn't like us for being her partners mate"
"that's not our fault, clearly the moon goddess is punishing our family" i stated.
before she had chance to argue i blocked her voice out. it hurts enough to know our mate had a luna he didn't even try and look for us.
i held on to the box tightly making my way past smiling faces and a few people telling me happy birthday, i didn't really say anything expect the words "thank you" my mind wasnt focused enough to make small talk to anyone my only focus was getting this to kelly and making her wear it.
i spotted her outside she looked like she was in serious conversation with Luna Sarah.
((mind-link))
my father's voice crept in my head
"maybe it's best you leave it until till tomorrow"
i looked around and spotted my father next to Alpha zane, ryan and harry.
i looked back at luna kelly and sarah both whispering Luna kelly putting her arm around sarah and patting her shoulder
"she's annoyed?" i asked
"she's on the warpath natasha with you and ryan"
"well she will get over it" i said
((mind-link end))
I broke of connection with my father and scanned the room in search of marion. i wasn't going to ruin my birthday by arguing with a crazy b***h. Marion was standing next to Alpha caine.. "that guy is everywhere" i mumbled.
i took a deep breath and made my way over to Marion.
"marion can i speak with you please"
"of course my lady" she slightly bowed her head.
i looked at Alpha caine. he just stared at me not getting the actual hint of private conversation.
"it's a private discussion" i said to him boldly whilst not breaking eye contact.
he went to walk by me but he stopped and whispered in my ear
"After this we need to talk" his voice was seductive sending chills down my spine, heat flushed over me, my checks blushing as he just smirked walking off. opaline was purring like a kitten...the traitor she is.
i looked at the disapproving look on marions face.
"don't start" i said to her almost pleading. i took a few shallow breaths and could feel my heart beat slowing down.
"i need you to give this to luna kelly. it's a gift from Luna Jean Devereaux, it's a symbol of peace"
"Your mother?" marion asked.
"yes my mother" i said. i handed her the box she slightly nodded and walked away in search of Luna kelly.
the light's went dim and the kitchen staff wheeled out a tray with a beautiful 2 tire rectangle cake with white icing and red letters that spelled Happy birthday. and sixteen lit candles. my father motioned me to come to him. everyone was singing happy birthday ... god i felt a bit embarrassed.
"Make a wish" my father said to me.
he still thinks of me as his baby. i never had the heart to tell him that i stopped believing in silly birthday wishes at the age of 5 after lucas was being horrible and told me it wasn't real. the pig he is.
sometime later the older adults cleared out the ballroom into the garden leaving us younger to party.
the lights were flashing, the music was upbeat. i was dancing with harry and ryan and a bunch of other young woman and guys. i could feel my heartbeat thumping the music was really loud.
i did my best to shout "im gonna go get a drink"
the drinks stands were in the hall, i opened the door and closed it again can't believe how soundproof that room is upon closing the door.
i took a glass of champagne when the smell hit me...the smell was weed i wasn't going to lie to myself by pretending not to crave it. i followed the smell with champagne glass in my hand, it was coming from the cellar.
the smell was strong i could hear the sound of another heart beating, so i knew someone was down there smoking a joint alone.
i gulped down the rest of the champagne and left the glass at the door, and made my way down the cellar stairs. it took a minute to be able to see anything my eye's lit up purple. whoever was down here didn't have the light on just the flame of a candle flickering at the end of the cellar. i made my way towards the candle. and standing next to it taking taking a drag from the joint in his hands. our eye's met and sparks flew. he passed me the joint. we didn't say anything, we didn't have to. i totally think he set this up knowing i would go anywhere at the hint of weed.
"Well played" i whispered.
he just smirked at me. his eye's filled with lust, i quickly looked down trying my best not to meet his gaze whilst taking a drag from the joint.
i handed him the joint, instead of him taken it from me he grabbed my hand and held it up whilst his other hand was wrapped around my waist, he was taller than me i did my best not to give him eye contact by focusing on his buttons of his shirt, even with the looming silence i could hear my heart beat beating fast like drum, and feel him intensely staring at me waiting for me to make eye contact the longer i didn't the more tight his grip on my hand and waist became
I couldn't resist the urge to look up, "damn this mate bond!" my inner thought, the chills of electricity running through my body because of him grabbing my hand.
soon as our eye's connected that was it, his lips crashing into mine, i started to kiss back , nothing else matters i wanted him just as much as he wanted me. Using my free hand i grabbed his shirt collar and pulled him closer not even caring that he had pushed me right up to the wall. my heart beating faster and faster, ive never experienced anything like this before. ive never wanted anyone like this. his smell was heaven the mate bond clouded my rational thinking, his hand that was placed on my waist started moving lower.
he stopped kissing me and immediately released me from his grasps. i still had the joint in my hand, he took it and relighted it. Have you ever experienced something so good yet you know that it was wrong? the guilt weighed heavy on me. the disgust i felt. it's clear he didn't feel wrong about his actions because he just smirked at me. i hung my head and looked away from him and walked away up the stairs to the cellar door shaking my head
"how can i be so stupid?" i whispered to myself.
"You still have two weeks here"
Caine's voice echoed as i was closing the door.
i rolled my eyes, and slammed the door shut, with a deep breath i made my way back to the ball room plastered on the biggest smile, i was determined to enjoy the rest of the night and to block Alpha Caine out.
