His Fated Mate

Chapter Seven: Clayton’sPOV

I still can’t believe how that perfect girl had already has me wrapped around her finger. Skylar had been right, I was only looking for my mate to reject her. The plan had always been find my fated mate, reject her and move forward with Skylar. The second I smelled her, I knew it was her. Once I touched her oh my wolf went wild. I wanted to take her right then and there. I had forgotten all about Skylar completely.

In fact when I had her in my room explaining to her the options I was really hoping that she would choose me. When she told me that I had to make Skylar leave that night, my heart sang, I lost all feeling towards her, it felt weird when she kissed me. It just felt wrong, but when she hit her! Oh my wolf wanted to rip her arm off. I knew I was cruel to the woman I had loved for so long, but I couldn’t help it. For me only Casey exists, and now that I have touched her and kissed her I can’t imagine one day without her.

I hope that her getting her dress for tomorrow helps her to understand what she has signed up for. I know she had never seen a marking ceremony and honestly neither had I. I love the idea of making everyone watch me mark her. Skylar didn’t know this, but I use to have regular s*x with several women. This certainly will be interesting considering the fact I had only told Skylar. I had already deleted and blocked all of the others. I even deleted the pictures I had of them from my phone.

I wanted to show that precious girl how much I cared for her. While it is true that I can be ruthless and mean. I want her to know that for her and her alone I will be nothing but, honest, loyal, and loving. I’m glad that I have the reputation that I do because I know that means out lands are safe. Safe for her, for us, for our babies…. Damn it only had a mate for one solid day and I’m already planing my life with her. My wild wolf was tame at the thought of her, a love sick puppy. He only briefly bristled at the thought of something or someone hurting her.

I shopped absentmindedly, I had called Felix to accompany me. So her best friend Bryn was doing most of the work. She had picked out, dresses, shoes, pants, shirts, purses, jewelry, bras, panties, and lingerie. Felix and I just carried everything, we stopped at this one store in particular it was a jewelry store. I had made the decision to order her a ring, it was rose gold, the stone in the middle was a large square garnet, with diamonds on the side woven in like vines. I ordered the wedding ring to be rose gold as well and the stones in it to be garnet and diamond alternating. I had it engraved to say, ‘My Always and Forever’. Bryn stood there almost in tears as I described it in full detail to the jeweler who put a rush on the order. I wanted to make her fall completely and irrevocably in love with me as soon as possible. I had a need an absolute drive to have her in every single way. It was maddening, I didn’t really even talk to Felix and Bryn. I was way too focused on seeing her again.

I filled their car with so much stuff they hardly had a place to sit. Once they left to go put all that stuff away in her closet. I went to the Apple Store, I bought the newest iPhone, with a teal otterbox, MacBook, iPod, and iPad. The iPod was green, the iPad was purple all the colors she had told me she liked. I stopped at bath and body and just absolutely filled it with a scent that smelled similar to hers. I got her all the fixings everything in that scent I bought, shampoo and conditioner, body wash, body scrub, lotion, body butter, perfume. I can’t wait to see her face when she finds out that all of the things that would be in the jeep aren’t even close to what she has at home.

I decided last minute to grab some things for my future mother in law. I really didn’t know anything about her and had never met her really. So I settled for a lovely white gold locket with a little flower on it that said mom. I had it gift wrapped, maybe we could get a picture together for it or just of Casey. I would understand if that’s what she wanted. Honestly the thought of having a mom again, was exciting too. I missed my parents dearly, I had lost them the winter I turned eighteen. They were in a car accident, their car slipped on black ice and into another car everyone in the accident had passed away.

My phone vibrated, I pulled it out to read who it was from. I had giving her a nickname that I hadn’t told her about.

Snuggle muffin: “sugar butt.”

It read and I felt a smile stretching across my face, I don’t think I have ever been happier. In fact NONE of the girls I was ‘dating’ I guess were even allowed to call me baby. Skylar got away with it more than most because she was there for me when mom and dad died.

“Yes darlin?” Answered her.

Her: “I miss your face.”

Me: “I miss you too darling”

Her: “we are done, come take me home… and come kiss me… like… right now”

Me: “don’t tell me twice.”

I shoved my phone in my pocket and was sprinting to the doors. I ran to the jeep, tossed the bags in it and tried to slowdown in my way to the dress shop. I had managed to compose myself on my way back from the jeep. When I walked in the store I saw her, she was smiling and giggling with the store owner. Her smile could light up a room, once my eyes landed on hers my heart skipped a beat. When she saw me, she walked over and wrapped her arms around my waist. It appears that my absence had made her crave me, just as I craved her.

I quickly produced my card and handed to the woman. I told her to take at least a hundred dollar tip for herself. Once we were all paid up she told me she would be at the mansion at seven in the morning tomorrow. I nodded and proceeded to pick my mate up and wrap her around my waist. She didn’t fight me in fact I felt her burry her face into my neck. I tried to avoid problem areas with her, she was a virgin and I didn’t want to push her. Not yet anyway, I would push her tomorrow night. I would want to finish our marking ceremony as soon as possible. The mark won’t fully appear unless we mate soon after. I carried her to the car enjoying the smell of her. She smelled of raspberries, creamy patchouli, and mocha musk. The scent I bought at the mall almost smelled the same.

“I got you a few things in the back seat.” I told her.

“Like what?” She asked.

“You’ll have to go look,” I teased.

I hardly got the door open before she squirmed out of my arms. She landed softly on the seat before turning around and seeing all the bath and body works bags. There were like five bags that I had filled of maybe a year’s supply of that heavily scent.

“You didn’t have to spend that much on me, but thank you.” She thanked me.

“All the bags in the back seat are for you.” I told her.

“Apple?” She asked.

“Mhm, I saw that your phone was a brick, and that the screen was broken. So I replaced it for you.” I explained.

“Thank you, but you didn’t have to do that.” She remarked.

“I know, but only the best for you.” I said to her while grabbing her leg.

She started texting her best friend almost immediately. I was thankful for that.

“Do you have Bluetooth in here?” She asked.

“Yes, why?” I wondered.

Before I could wonder for too long, she connected her phone and was playing music. I didn’t mind what she was playing. It was mix of everything, I had only really listened to classical. My parents had insisted that I only listen to classical because I needed to have a defined taste in music. I turned up her music, she was singing a long. I loved the sound of her voice. When we got home, I grabbed everything from my car. Her in one arm, all of the bags in the other.

She absentmindedly kissed my neck and my wolf went wild. I wanted to take her right then and there, but I tamed him. I carried her up the three flights of steps and to our room. I tossed all the bags on the couch and her on the bed.

“You don’t have to carry me,” she giggled when she hit the bed.

“I love holding you. So I will carry you every chance I get.” I grinned.

“Sugar butt, can I take a bath?” She asked.

“Well yeah, it’s your tub silly.” I chuckled.

She got off the bed and walked into the bathroom and I wondered how long it would be before she walked into her closet. I heard the tub turn on and I heard her rinse it out. It would take awhile to fill the tub so I waited to see if she’d find everything. I was flipping through the channels on the tv when I heard her gasp. She came running out of the bathroom with wide eyes.

“You filled my closet?” She asked.

“I did, and your friend Bryn really knows how to spend money.” I chuckled.

“Yeah, she’s good at it.” She giggled.

“Do you… uh wanna take a bath with me?” She asked suddenly.

“I would love to.” I stood quickly.

I had just gotten my shirt off when someone knocked on the door.

“Uh, go ahead and jump in the tub and I’ll be in shortly.” I smiled at her.

She turned and skipped into the bathroom. I opened the door to reveal her mother smiling at me.

“Hello, Alpha.” She greeted me. “I want to talk to my daughter. I think it’s important that she knows what to expect for tomorrow.”

“I agree, and you may call me Clayton. My future mother in law shouldn’t call me Alpha.” I welcomed her in.

“Thank you, Clayton.” She beamed at me.

“I’ll put this chair in the bathroom for you. She’s in the bath right now.” I said as I grabbed a chair and am carried it in.

She hurried to open the bathroom door for me. I looked at the surprised look on my mates face as her mom rushed into the room. I closed the door as I left the bathroom. Dejected I walked into my bathroom across the room. My bathroom was the same as hers. I stole one of the body washes I had bought her and started my own bath. Once it was full I turned the jets on.
