Asu P.O.V
the whole pack went into an uproar once the news was out of who we were one thing brother didn't count in was that the unmated wolves will be all over us including his mate asking for autographs and pictures and some eyes were not all that admirable Anna fought the urge to break some noses while Kim had gotten ready to beat up anyone pretty much at this point cursing herself for not seeing this coming, after our talk they immediately went to work in getting things set up literally EVERYTHING was done by the end of the day yesterday. It was later revealed to me that they had built a three-story high banquet hall in the middle of the woods within our territory for only occasions like so there will be no problem's with the guests' but one thing that worries me was that my brother was acting suspiciously
"he still hasn't said anything?" I asked Kim who looked angry just by mentioning this topic
"No, that ass hasn't even fallen for my puppy face even when he is about to he stops uugh!!" she fumed kicking one box " the only thing he says is to tell you that there will only be wolves allowed in even the reporters will be wolves he made sure not to invite humans you know just in case rogues decide to attack and that the security will be tight not finding out who was the intrude has him and your father on the edge"
" And I also heard that there will be a lot of Alphas coming with their Luna's so security will be intense" Anna shrugged picking up the box that Kim kicked " they will also bring their own men to protect their luna's"
I look at Kim who was about to explode and Anna recoiled back " don't even remind me!!"
I laughed my brother been the overprotective man he is he wanted to put ten of the best fighters as guards to watch her, and after so much fighting and let's face it a good beat up by me again he lost the bet and only placed Liam and Will for all three of us.
she wanted to kick the box that was now gone I frown " keep kicking things and you won't get your dress" I threaten her she stopped mid kick on another box
"sorry" she smiled apologetically
I sighed " look inside the box you were about to kick and Anna the one you are holding is yours"
they looked at me puzzled but proceeded to open them they looked surprised at the sight of their dresses
"is so perfect!!" Kim squealed holding the fabric up to see it closely
" When did you," Anna said breathlessly not looking at me
" Originally it was supposed to be for the next upcoming banquet for another line I had planned but seeing that brother rushed the reveal of the perfume and that if we were to go out right now we won't find anything on time I figured it was the right time to bring this out " I shrugged
"wait! you also design these?!" Anna turned to look at me and Kim's eyes snap to me
I nodded " well yes "
"THANK YOU!!!!" Kim ran to hug me and so did Anna
"thank you, Asu they are perfect" Anna smiled
I smiled and hugged them back " I am glad they fit your taste I just hope it won't cause a problem with my brother"
"Huh?" Kim carefully got out of the hug " why?"
I smirk " you'll see" plus it will show her mark he won't be that mad.
As they looked over their dresses my mind began to wander again the eyes I felt that day that feeling was still there it was making me feel uneasy because for some reason there wasn't a threat to them no one ever asked me what else happen, I know that the pack was uneasy with the fact that they weren't captured dad was more irritable that he had no one to torture yet, adding to that was that George never left me alone every time I managed to escape the guys or the girls' watchful eyes which don't get me wrong I was used to theirs but adding three powerful wolves to the list made me so irritated I felt cage once again, George will always be there trying to talk and if I didn't listen he will drag me to a place to listen luckily his father and mother saw that and stopped him before Diego or anyone noticed
this happened in just the time frame of yesterday unbelievable but one good thing that came out was that I made his parent's feel less guilty about their stupid son's decisions making it clear I want them to be happy and be able to talk to me without any shame or guilt in the way after much talk they seemed to have ease.
"And how are they?" Anna looked over at me putting her dress back safely
" his parent's seemed better now they said they will attend the banquet and made very clear that George will be on his best behavior" I spoke pulling down my own dress
"well" Kim chuckled a wicked one " with that dress I doubt it"
I look over my shoulder to her as she saw my dress with one eyebrow raised " canned it bunny"
she blushed at that one "wha- what?"
I smiled " do you think we can't smell you? ever since he met you" I teased " you and my brother have been at it like rabbits"
Anna laughed " I am surprised you haven't been knocked up!"
"oh NO!!" she buried her head on the dress in utter shame
I laughed at her precious reaction who knew she will be this active when she met her mate even I didn't see her this way then again she never had s*x with anyone she was put on saving herself for her mate and I could see that it was all worth it, Anna and I have the same view even if she didn't say out loud I knew she was also saving herself for her mate...
"aren't you too?" Celene spoke gently
" for a mate who I most likely don't have and if I do who knows of he isn't one of those manwhores too No, No" I shut her down quickly " I am doing it solely for myself because I have never felt attracted in that sort of way to any guy"
she was quiet I don't know if it was because of the coffee incident but she has been restless and angry pacing around my mind I drop my dress "s**t"
they look up and quickly came to my side
"what's wrong ?" Kim looked around
Anna was ready to kick some ass too
"s**t" I repeated turning to face them
"Asu you are scaring us what's wrong?!" Kim shook me
" I really hope I am wrong but Celene isn't acting like herself," my voice sounded weird.
" what? it may be because of the incident yesterday" Kim tried to soothe me
"No" I shook my head " it was like this when we found out George was my mate"
Anna froze " don't tell me she is sensing him"
I shook my head " I don't know it might also be because they haven't caught the person who spied on us that day and having so many people here has her on the edge"
"True" Kim patted my back " I mean we have been to events but this one is different in those events mom made sure there was mostly humans than supernatural beings and if they were they had mates"
" And not so many alphas in one room" Anna added " is hard enough to suppress your scent from the pack now add alphas the most possessive ones out of the litter the higher the ranking of the wolf the harder it gets to stop their wolves from wanting to be near you, scent suppress or not "
"Yes that may be it" I took a deep breath " that's it"
"Anna make sure to stay close to her I don't like the idea of other packs joining us but it has to be this way Diego mostly does business with them." Kim looked over at me with concern as a frown appeared on her face " even he knows is risky to have so many alphas in one room"
I was somewhat relaxed " We can only watch and hope is not what I think it is" with that there was a knock on the door
"girls I know you are busy but come down for breakfast " Brother reminded " and Kim please unblock me!!"
we turned to her and she shrugged " he made me mad"
my poor brother... I made a face, not in a mood to but in " anyways let's head down"
the guys were already there when we got there all but brother and dad
"they had to see everything was going well" Liam informed us
I glanced at Kim who pointed as she watched the door
"here" Liam handed me another cup I raised my eyebrow at him suspiciously
"is empty" he defended himself quickly after I beat Diego on his bet yesterday he is been careful.
"oh in that case thanks" I went to make my tea waiting for it to be brew
"I have been meaning to ask what do you guys like to eat," Will asked us
" spicy food, Korean and American" Kim stopped when they made a confused expression " I am french"
"Oh yeah " Liam shook his head remembering that detail
"coffee, bread but I hate fruit so no fruit" she finished
"salty food, sweets, chocolate, and my favorite blood from murders" Anna smiled innocently making Liam and Will drop their forks and shiver
" you eat food?" Will coughed
I mentally facepalm myself where have their eyes been!!
" I been eating food since I got here!" she exclaimed
"Oh yeah "
"goddess" she sighed annoyed and look over at me
"damn these girls can eat!!" Liam laughed " and you Asu?"
"I was about to answer when brother came in
" aren't you all models?" Brother was at the door Kim perked up and run up to him scooping her up and kissed her passionately I look away.
"gross!" Anna placed her fork down and left
" get a damn room!" Liam whined
"shut the f**k Liam!" my brother yelled
" back to your question yes we are models but we love eating I am wolf so I eat a lot and even if she is a witch she tends to eat like a wolf due to the bond we share the same with Anna "
they had their mouth shapes like an 'O' I went back to my breakfast waffles top with lots of honey and bacon at the side and strawberries, it made me miss my french breakfast
" anything wrong?" Will ask looking at my expression
"I suddenly miss french style breakfast," I said nostalgically
they looked at each other " you did eat it for a long time" brother gently kiss my forehead
" is everything ready now?" Kim changed the subject
" pretty much " he looked at me I eyeball him suspiciously " I will have all the foods you like be ready for breakfast," he told us he didn't even get to hear what I like this rascal is hiding something.
" I swear Diego pull another prank on me and your ass won't be able to seat for an entire year" I warned him baring my fangs ignoring the last part " and say goodbye to reproducing!"
he quickly scooted away secretly covering his parts and the rest followed Kim laughed lightly but it was more like a threatening one to him " I didn't! I promise! Asu!"
"better" I kept eating without taking my eyes off him.
"Alright, off we go and get ready" Kim grabbed my arm and pulled me to the stairs as soon as I was done
" will you be finished soon?" Liam asked
the guys to turn to look at him with a stupid look on their faces " you clearly need a mate" I said and walked away
we heard laughter as we went up once in my room Anna was already placing her dress in a hanger " good you are here get on the showers and meet back here!" she urged Kim out
I was left with an unsettling feeling and walked to the window closing the shade but not before I noticed two things One George was watching me with longing eyes and two I saw a movement in the woods ignoring both I closed the damn shades fuming all the way to the bathroom and getting clean putting my favorite jasmine scented oil no wonder Kim insisted I wear these scent it intensified my own scent fully scrubbing me clean and standing in the shower for way too long
grabbing a matching set of royal blue and black laced bra with three diamonds on the center and blue mixed black laced panties with one small diamond in the middle and taking out the royal blue silk ribbon that had saphires sew on them and placed it carefully on my vanity walking to my closet and grabbing my dress from the grey bag and getting in it I look over the mirror Celene settle on royal blue pure silk fabric that I made into a flowy floor length dress with a slit on the side of my leg and opening at my back but was covered with lace the neck line was a sweet heart shape that had lace covering my chest area up to my neck, saphires mixed with diamonds I made using my roses were also sew on it covering every inch of my back and chest and in the middle of every flower that began from my hip and cascaded on the side of my dress I went to do the hairstyle on my wig making two loose twist on the side securing it with my ribbon and and leaving the rest in loose curls I carefully placed over my hair popping my contacts on and doing my make up into a natural look a small amount of soft brown for my eyes thin liner and mascara with soft pink lips no foundation.
I heard a whistle and saw Kim and Anna standing leaning on the wall Anna was wearing a dark wine tight floor-length V neck hourglass dress that had laced sleeves and diamonds sew on them with a small slight on the side with a soft smoky eye and soft blush and red lips and her hair was slightly curled and placed to the side with a ruby Barrett on the back she had nude color heels, Kim had a soft blue colored dress on with a V neck and open back with diamond spaghetti straps that were tight on showing her figure and were above her knee and a sheer blue detachable skirt matching colored heels with diamonds on the side of it. Makeup was also a soft smoky look and soft blush and pink lips her hair was tied into a loose braid to the side with roses popping in all places.
"WOW yourself" I smiled grabbing my own heels that were the same color as my dress and diamonds behind the heel
" Diego won't let you out of the doorway" she winked at me
" and he will most likely tear that dress off you later but please make sure to keep it safe it took me hours to finish it" I warned and teased at the same time she blushed and bit her lip
" you, young lady wow" I wink at Anna who laughed
" I will have so much trouble keep those leeches away!" she groaned and look at me
"why?" I was confused
" never mind then" she opened the door " shall we?"
"We shall" we both said and stepped outside and like Kim said Diego was fuming mad at the sight of us but honestly his eyes shifted to black when he glanced over at Kim
" HELL f*****g NO!!" brother and dad yelled
Will and Liam also shared the same expression but more calmly... I think...
" we will be late and I don't have another dress plus I design and sew every last part of these dresses do you really want my work to go down the drain?" I questioned looking pitiful
" Well... No, but... " dad was starting to shift
"Dad!" Brother argue and stop when Kim walked to him and whisper something I that wish I didn't hear, his eyes turned dark "you know what to do" he turned to the guys
Well, that was quick. Kim looks at us and winked and blew us a kiss Anna grimace at what she heard.
"make sure to stay near us honey" dad warned
I look at Anna who also had the same look " I am with him in that one"
"traitor" I smiled "I haven't trained with you for a while Anna tomorrow sounds good"
"s**t" her eyes went wide before she could protest
"let's go daddy" I link my arm to his and made our way to the banquet where there was already many people inside the buzzing of their talk was more than evidence for me, dad led me to a room and made me stay there with Anna and Kim
"I knew this was going to happen" I huffed annoyed
"do you...think he will?" Kim questioned with her eyebrow raised
"No, I don't think he will" Anna lied while looking around after what felt like hours there was a movement
" Ladies and gentlemen as you may already know I have two kids for certain reasons I chose for my daughter to remain out of the public eye and let her walk the path of her choosing without having our name be a burden to her " Dad's voiced was different as he talked in front of the public.
"or maybe he will" Kim chuckle nervously
"I figured as much" I got up better get ready, chin up and smile like you always do Asu. Ground eat me now!
"breath darling, breath" Celene's voice soothed me and was working quite well.
" thanks to my son who has the honor of making this new perfume that represents my daughter his beloved sister has brought her back home after a long absence" his voice became soft " it's an honor to present my daughter, my princess and, my life " the door slowly open
Kim and Anna placed on a smile " Asu" they link their arms to mine" and I automatically did the same the spotlight was now on me and gasps were all around the feeling of so many eyes on me wasn't new to me but this time it felt like it was as Celene was having a hard time suppressing her form the reason was simple many Alpha's in one room was taking a toll on her. keeping my gaze only towards dad and brother who smiled and clapped welcoming us.
"I am sure you already know her and her friends" Dad look over at brother "one who happens to be my son's son mate and Luna"
Kim quickly moved to my brother's open arms and kissed him on the cheek there was a lot of snaps at that moment
"Is that?"
"She looks like Penelope... except her hair, eyes but her features they are so..."
I almost lost my composure for a second and glanced over at dad who tried to hide his pain, I clenched my hands.
" No wonder he kept her hidden"
"Who would have thought that the famous models were family"
I looked over the crowd and saw the lustful eyes of many of the unmated alphas I suppressed a growl and smiled giving a hug to dad and a peck on the cheek surprising him
"Is an honor to say that the perfume we are unveiling today is actually inspired by my little sister who happens to also be the face of it" Brother proceeded
there were claps all over the place avoiding eyes I look over the decorations, flower vines were twisting around the handles of the staircases, wisterias were hanging all over the ceiling with violet lights hitting them at the perfect angle to illuminate the whole hall it looked like an enchanted forest the tables had champagne color silk clothes and fairy lights in the center with a crystal vase holding jasmine flowers I look over to Anna who had the same expression I had this place was breathtakingly beautiful
"Are you going to tell them about the other companies you own?" Anna whispered still holding her smile
I cover my mouth to hide my smile " I might" I turned to my brother who gave out his hand I took it and follow him with Kim link to his other arm and Anna next to me we descended the stairs walking to a podium where the bottle was been covered with a royal blue cloth I could feel the intensity in the air and I knew brother wasn't happy but that is what he gets or inviting all of this people.
Liam held his arm for me I smile leading me to the stairs " this is too much Liam you could have said something!" I growled my smile never faltering.
"oh is not over yet," Liam said wickedly
I didn't have a chance to react when the perfume was unveiled and sparkly confetti came pouring down on me I look over to Dad who was laughing at my expression.
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY SISTER!!!"
I was shocked... No, it was more than shock, but to my surprise, I laugh forgetting for a moment my past torment, now is different I had people who truly cherish the moment I was born, walking over to my brother hugging him " You'll pay for this later brother" I smiled and kissed him on the cheek
he kept his smile but I could feel his tension as he laughed it off " I hope you enjoy this small gift" he handed me the blue color hourglass bottle containing the finished product " We thought why just reveal it like that when we can gift it to you at the same time"
I look up at him tears forming in my eyes and for the first time I smiled with sincerity even in front of cameras " thank you" he hugged me and quickly let go so dad could also give me his hug
" happy birthday my little princess" his voice was strained and warm liquid fell on my shoulders.
I l brush off his tears " thank you, daddy"
those words were more than enough for him to pick me up and swing me around happily my dress fluttered in the wind as the sound of our laughter filled the room until we heard Aw's coming from the crowd I turned slightly red as he placed me down, maybe I'll tell them about my companies later.
Kim and Anna came to give hugs too and took the bottle back to its glass enclosing, eyes filled with concern as all this was hard on Celene too.
"Now let's enjoy the PARTY!!!" Dad yelled
the music began to play and everyone return to themselves or at least tried but every once in a while I could sense their gaze on us.
" The prince should have been here," Brother said looking around " but he is running rather late that brat"
" the prince?" I questioned
he nodded as he held Kim close to his side possessively " yes he is a good friend of the family and we invited him for your birthday celebration but he is running late"
My mind wandered, the prince I only heard rumors about him he is a fair and good-natured guy although ruthless when double-crossing him, and the fact that he is acting slow with the council problem he is known to be smart, why come to see us even if we are in good terms how good is our relationship to be this close?
" Alpha Diego" An arrogant voice spoke Anna and Kim became uneasy I look over to see why he was making his way to us with a cocky attitude and no mate only with who appears to be his Beta by his side the way he carries himself without a doubt he was an alpha but what made Liam and Will move close to our side was because the alpha's eyes were on me and had shifted to black... While his Beta's was on Anna.
"Alpha Kaden " Brother stepped in front covering me while Kim looked mad as she covers her sister
Dad placed his hand on my shoulder as his eyes fixed on the lustful Alpha
"I didn't think you will come" Brother clearly wasn't happy with his presence
" I wouldn't have missed this for anything" he took his eyes unwillingly from me and look at my brother " I see you found your mate"
Brother went rigid " Liam go and stand next to Kim now" I whispered glancing at him he quickly nodded and did as he was told with that brother ease up just a bit.
"Yes" he pulled her closely making her shiver slightly " I believe you know her but let me introduce them Kim is my sister's friend and model as well, Anna is also a model and Kim's sister so I do ask for you to be respectful when speaking to both of them"
that wasn't advice that was a threat making his beta move closer to his alpha's side " A witch for a mate and a vampire for a sister?" he was confused we get this reaction almost daily that we've grown used to it. Anna just shrugged and look coldly away taking my hand trying to calm herself down.
" Your sister..." Alpha Kaden asked and tension began his eyes darting back to me
"she is" brother's voice was hard " my baby sister" he moved a bit to give him a small view of me and quickly cover me again I could see Alpha Kaden getting annoyed at my brother's action's I really didn't need a fight right now is more than enough that there are so many damn alphas put in just one room I look over to dad and sighed and let me go walking forward ignoring brother's angry eyes on me Anna followed close behind us.
"Alpha Mathew" he smiled welcoming.
Dad nodded and I smiled I saw how his eyes became wide and quickly went back to his usual arrogant expression, " I am Asu, daughter of Alpha Mathew and younger sister of Diego" I reminded him who I was " nice to you me you " I didn't offer my hand and looked away quickly to see more eyes on us, feeling the content from the boys.
"you are too young to be a model aren't you? he was not happy about my actions
" and you are too young to be an alpha yourself" I returned with a smile enjoying the sound his jaw made when he clenched it.
" so you are the rumor sister of Diego who posses no wolf" his eyes were shifting and I knew he was fighting control and so was Celene she was ready to rip his throat out at such insolence
Dad got closer " watch those words Alpha Kaden you may be an alpha but you are in our territory" dad growled and his threat was followed by three growls his beta tense up ready to fight
" watch yourself" he spoke to his beta " I only repeated what I have heard "
brother was about to jump him but was held back by Kim " wait my love"
I flash my most angelic smile and heard his heart speed up to my satisfaction every alpha did as well " Yet, this wolfless omega has all these damn wolves driven crazy with lust and is the most sought after by people like yours to model their product my what a small world isn't that right Mr. Arrogant Alpha?"
I heard snickers beside me and he was left speechless for a whole minute " How-"
I stepped forward and grab his tie 'fixing' it for him I tighten my grip on it making him jump but his strength was no match for mine " Careful with what you say or my brother here can have your pack for dessert with just one word from me" I released him keeping up my smile he was left frozen " dad I will like to dance"
"if that is what my princess wishes so be it" dad held his laughter back
" all yours brother" I smiled at him and saw from the corner of my eyes how he was having trouble containing his laughter Kim look the same " Ah your beta over there better watch his eyes or I won't be responsible for what Anna might do"
I gave a cold look to his beta who took a step back to his surprise " bye bye now"
