Chapter 11: Meeting the pack members

Mia

It's only 2 more days to the wedding

Its been a few days since I last spoke to Alpha Tristan; well now it seems that he is intentionally avoiding me. Few things did change since the last few days; he no more treats me like a maid.

I myself am kind of puzzled that Alpha Tristan is my mate; instead of ignoring me or rejecting me, he is marrying me. There still seems to be some hope for this relationship.

Lilly spends almost all of her playtime with me.

In the evening, I was spending some time in the balcony with Lilly. Alpha Tristan suddenly walked in. Lilly was so happy to see him that she leapt towards him.

Finally, he looks at me and says “Be ready by 6 in the evening, both Lilly and you. You will be meeting pack members today”.

He left as soon as he came in; something seems to be troubling him lately.

Both Lilly and I were ready and waiting for him before time. He was exactly there by 6.00 pm. We were at the wedding venue; where the decorations had already started.

Alpha Tristan was again scrutinising my clothes, he must have realised that I have very few clothes, but he chooses to say silent

Lilly was everybody’s sweetheart and got everyone’s attention as soon as we got there.

After a little while, Alpha Tristan started introducing me to the pack members. His Beta and family. “Welcome to the pack Mia, I am David and this is my mate Suzan and the little boy John our son”, who seemed to be Lilly's age.   

Suzan took me in a warm hug and said: “I am so glad that Alpha Tristan finally found his mate”.

Alpha Tristan turned towards us and said, Suzan, we need your help “Can you please help Mia to find her wedding dress and some other clothes, tomorrow?”

Suzan was more than happy and obelised “It will be an honour, Alpha”

Then came in Alpha Tristan's mother along with another female; with the look on her face, it was clear she hated me.

I don’t know how I am managing this, even before I meet someone, they already hate me.

Alpha Tristan says you have already met my mother, and this is Krystal Connell, she is my friend and helps me with the pack responsibilities.

Even before I say Hi and introduce myself, she moves closer to Tristan, wrapping herself around his arm. She says “Come on Tristan everybody knows, we are more than friends. We are family”.

Oh. now I know why she hates me, but now I only know that this feeling is mutual. All I could think about was ripping her hands off Tristan.

Tristan looked so comfortable with her. He placed her hands on her shoulders. Why am I having these feelings? Confused how I am supposed to respond to the current situation.

That’s when another person walks in, Alpha Tristan introduces him as his uncle, his father’s brother and a well-wisher as Trevor Rodriguez who was an old man almost in his 60’s. There was something about his eyes, they were so dark almost as evil, he had a sly smile over his face.

As Tristan and Krystal walk ahead, talking to each other. Trevor holds my hands and says “You are very beautiful; I must say Tristan has a good taste in women”. He was still holding onto my hand, making the moment even more awkward. I pull my hands away from him and follow Tristan.

Tristan and Krystal were talking about the wedding arrangements, guests list, decorations and food.

Looking at me Krystal again places her hand on Alpha Tristan’s shoulder and says “You don’t have to worry Tristan, you have always got me.”

I interfere in their conversation and add “Krystal, can you please get White roses removed, from the decorations”. Krystal was dumbstruck by my statement.

I turn towards Alpha Tristan and tell him, “I want to invite my family to the wedding too, I want them to walk me down the aisle.”I had still not completed my sentence

His face expression turned as if the entire hell is let loose. He said “Oh, who would come from your family. Your dead mom and dad.”

I was shocked, the way he spoke to me. He further added “and NO, I am not calling any of the members from the River bed pack for this wedding”

Everyone in the hall turned towards us. I looked at Krystal, who had a huge smirk on her face.

As if suddenly brought to his senses, “Please excuse us. It’s a small lovers fight”. David walks towards us and says “Tristan maybe you should apologize to Mia first”.

He puts his hands around my waist and pulls me towards the room and closes the door after us.

Cornering me towards the wall “Who told you, you can talk to Krystal that way?” He bangs his hand to the wall, making me shiver.

“I just wanted to say the white roses….”

“Shut up”, he yells again. “You have to lose the Princess attitude to live here, the sooner the better”.

“You are not getting anything more than the deal already made in this marriage” this is not your fancy dream wedding.  

“Do you understand me” he screams again.

I don’t respond, I know I did nothing wrong, not this time at least; but I couldn’t stop the tears running down from my eyes.

As he leaves the room, I fall on the floor, sobbing silently. I don’t know how long I have been in this state, suddenly the door opens and Tristan’s mother walks in

“I am sorry for my sons behaviour” she says. “I know, nobody deserves to be treated this way.” I know no explanation will suffice about his behaviour. You can talk to me if you need something

I get up, gathering my strength, wiping my eyes, “I am fine. Sorry about the drama”

I am also sorry about the way I behaved, when we first met. I thought that you are one of the many women Tristan plays around with; but then he told about marriage, I thought you are another Rose.

“Rose?” I ask questioningly

“Lilly’s mother” she responds

But then when he told me you are his mate, I finally am so relieved that I feel that Moon Goddess has finally blessed my son; and there is hope for happiness in his life and to the pack.  

“Why don’t we restart our relation? You can call me Tressa”

I feel overwhelmed, its first time that someone has spoken to me so kindly in days “I hug her in response unable to comprehend my feelings in words”.

Suddenly the door opens and Tristan is standing there, surprised by looking at both of us

“What are you doing here, with garbage mother,” he says

“Tristan, stop it,” she says.

He releases a low growl looking at her, she snaps telling him “Alpha or not, You still have to listen to your mother”

Mother, I am here to call you both for dinner.

As I arrived at the dinner table, Krystal was sitting beside Alpha Tristan. Dinner was rather uneventful, other than the way Tristan was looking at me.
