“You don’t work anymore,” he scoffed.
“What? If I don’t go in Iris won’t be able to open.” I complained.
“I’ll sent her help, but you aren’t going to work.” He said sleep still thick in his voice.
“So what am I gonna do today?” I hadn’t grasped this yet.
“Well, I’m taking you shopping. I might be the meanest Alpha in all the lands. But I’m not a bad lover. I am going to show you that for you I will never be mean.” He joked.
He walked off to get dressed into his own bathroom and I flopped down on his side of the bed. I hung upside down waiting for him to get dressed.
“What are you doing?” He sounded concerned.
“Waiting,” I shrugged.
I was about to pull myself up when he grabbed me and tossed me over his shoulder. I kinda liked when he did that. We went down the stairs with him carrying me like a sack of potatoes. When we got down stairs I looked around and all the remains of the party had been long gone. He walked into the kitchen and there were still a few boxes from the cafe. He opened one of the boxes and looked at the pastries inside.
“What’s this one babe,” he asked as he poked at one.
I looked up and saw that he was pointing at a raspberry danish.
“That’s a raspberry danish, but I think you might like that one.” I said while pointing at a different one.
“What is it?” He asked.
“That one is a custard danish with icing.” I asked.
“You’re right, my sweet.” He cooed.
He grabbed the custard one and a cinnamon roll. He handed the cinnamon roll to me. I ate it while still on his shoulder. He was enjoying his custard one, he walked around the kitchen until he found a girl a bit older than me.
“Good morning Alpha,” she greeted him.
She looked at me funny, I started to feel like a little bird on his shoulder.
“Do you know where these pastries are from?” He asked.
“Yes, is there something wrong?” She worried.
“No, but the woman who works there needs some help today. Would you please go help her? Tell her the Alpha sent you. I will be paying you not her. Also please tell Iris that everything was amazing and that I expect to see her in the front row at the ceremony tomorrow.” He ordered.
The girl nodded and hurriedly off to the cafe. He turned and carried me to the garage. When the lights turned on it lit up several luxury cars. He heard my gasp and I felt him chuckle.
“Ya know I’m not a bird.” I sneered.
“You’re right,” he agreed.
He pulled me down, so my legs wrapped around his waist. I immediately kissed him, I felt his hands rubbed against my thighs and butt. I moaned as he did that. That was a bad decision he immediately, monopolized on the situation. He pinned me against a black Jeep. It made me gasp and my mouth opened, his tongue pushed in. I wanted him, and I wanted it right now in the Jeep. He moved to kissing my neck and freed my lips.
“Clay, stop… please…” I begged.
“One of these days pumpkin your gonna beg me for something else… and I will not deny you.” He warned.
He opened the car door for me, and plopped me in the front seat. He got in next to me. We pulled out of the garage and out of the driveway. He put his hand on my knee as we drove.
“Where are we going?” I asked.
“Well you need a dress for tomorrow, and I’m gonna show you what it’s like to be spoiled.” He stated.
“I don’t want you to see the dress,” I argued.
“So, I’m gonna take you to the dress shop my mom use to go to. She’s gonna measure you and then send me your measurements and I’m going shopping for you.” He clarified.
“Why don’t you want me with you?” I questioned.
“Because I don’t want you to tell me not to buy you this or that… I’m not sure why but I feel like you are very willful.” He snickered.
“I don’t need a bunch of clothes, I have clothes.” I disagreed.
“The point of being spoiled darling, is that you don’t need any of the things you’re given.” He countered.
We play argued back and forth about most of the ride. Why was it so easy? I took out my phone and texted my best friend.
Me: “why does it feel like I’ve always known him?”
Bryn: “cuz that’s the beauty of a mate. They just get you.. fully and wholeheartedly. It’s nice right?”
Me: “I think I’m in love with him.”
Bryn: “good!!! Tell him! Or test if he loves you.”
Me: “how?”
Bryn: “LOL give him a cute pet name. And tell me what he says…”
Me: “sugar butt?”
Bryn: “literally perfect LOL”
I saw him looking at me out of the corner of his eye. I knew I was wondering why I was giggling to myself.
“Texting your boyfriend?” He teased.
“No, he’s driving.” I teased back.
“Oh so I’m your boyfriend?” He mocked.
“I mean if you don’t want to be I get it.” I teased.
“I’ll be anything you want me to be.” He sighed.
“Okay sugar butt,” I squeaked.
He squeezed my leg at that one.
“Why?” He asked.
“‘Cause ya got a nice butt.” I giggled.
He rolled his eyes, but didn’t say anything. We arrived at the mall, he helped me out of the jeep even opened my door for me. He held my hand as we walked into the dress shop. There was a woman standing there behind the counter. She was an older woman, her long silver hair was tied back into a bun. She had tan skin and amber eyes. When she turned to face us her eyes sparkled.
“Hey! Cas how are you? I haven’t seen you since prom.” She smiled.
“I’m good, and how are you? Well I need another dress, but this one can be more lavish.” I greeted her.
“I’m well, thank you. Oh? What’s the occasion.” She beamed.
“Her marking ceremony,” Clayton answered.
“Oh, lucky girl! I’m glad it was you. You’re going to make a wonderful Luna.” She said.
“Will you please give Clay my sizes please?” I asked.
She nodded and wrote them all down for him. I remembered that we didn’t have each other’s numbers so he and I traded phones and put our numbers in. She handed him the slip and he kissed the top of my head as he walked out.
“Have you even been to one of these?” I asked.
“Yes, dear I went to his father’s and mother’s years ago.” She gushed.
“What’s it like? What would I expect?” I was concerned.
“Well he will introduce you to the pack. Yes, you will be on stage. They usually do a little speech, then they bite you and it’s done.” She shrugged.
