(Daphne’s point of view)
As we were walking my handsome and sexy mate was telling me about how James and Cassie are mates. He seemed really worried about our safety as he keeps looking around us. I wonder when he is going to kiss me for the first time. I also wonder if Ben has kissed Alexia yet.
He seemed to have a destination in mind, so I didn’t bother asking where we were headed. Instead, I asked him, “What is your favorite movie ever?” He replied, “I would have to say Deadpool 2, What about you?” “Maybe Thor Ragnarök, favorite drink?” was my response. “Coffee yours? By the way who are the witches and wizards behind us?” he inquired.
“My favorite drink if I had to choose it would be English breakfast tea. And that’s my protection team, and they are also the team I fight with if my coven is attacked,” I told him. He responded, “So how often is your coven attacked? And what is your strong suit in a fight?”
As I was about to answer him I noticed that we had arrived at a beautiful meadow. “We are attacked at most only twice every five years. And my strong suit is ranged attacks mostly fire spells. And how often is your pack attacked?” Was my answer. He sat down and then replied, “We are attacked once or twice every six months. And I am the best strategist in my pack at least that is what my dad says.”
“When did you take over as alpha?” I asked. “Six months ago. What rank do you hold in your coven?” he returned. “I’m the top female warrior after my Mom and Aunt,” I replied. He looked impressed, “That’s great and when you join my pack you will be the Luna which is the top female in the pack.” “So what is your favorite type of book to read?” I asked.
He thought about it and replied, “I guess I would have to say horror books. What about you?” I responded, “Romance is my favorite. Now, what is your favorite type of car?” He answered, “I would have to say my 1956 Jaguar roadster black with tan interior. What is yours?” Honestly, that was tough to answer. But in the end, I just told the truth, “My 1967 Pontiac GTO custom hardtop in blueberry with a black interior. What was your favorite class in school?”
He looked confused by that question. But eventually answered, “I guess it would have to be science, what about you what was your favorite class in school?” I replied, “It would have to be English although I always preferred my magic classes to all others.” He smiled at that and man does he have a great smile. It just brings out the dimples in his cheeks.
“I would imagine that you would being that you are the third strongest witch in your coven.” He replied. I just laughed and said, “Don’t say that around Alexia she gets a bit annoyed when anyone mentions it.” “Ok, I promise not to mention it around her. But only if you promise to go on a date with me tomorrow.” “Alright, I will go on a date with you tomorrow but not, so you don’t mention my strength around Alexia. But because I want to go on a date with you,” I told him. He looked at me in shock and said, “You want to go on a date with me you’re not screwing with me.”
“Of course I do why are you surprised?” I asked him. He replied, “I’m just surprised because I didn’t know if it would be too quick. Don’t you think our relationship is moving fast?” I looked at him and said, “No I don’t think it is moving too fast I think it is right on schedule maybe even a little slow.” He looked even more shocked before asking, “Ok so where do you want to go for our dinner date?” I answered, “I don’t know why don’t we have a double date with Ben and Alexia? And you can choose the restaurant as long as you tell me what type of close I should wear.” “How about you just wear a blue dress that is half dressy and half casual?” he returned.
I thought about that and replied, “That means I have to go shopping because I don’t have anything like that.” I texted Alexia saying we have to go shopping tomorrow for a new outfit. She replied that she needs a new outfit as well. My sexy alpha asked, “What is your favorite season?” “I would have to say summer what’s yours?” I told him. He replied, “Mine is spring now what is your favorite holiday?” “Honestly I don’t really have one but if I had to choose I would say Halloween what about you.” was my response. “Christmas is my favorite holiday. So Italian or Spanish food or would you rather just plain American food?” he questioned.
I gave him my honest answer, “Italian food would be preferable for both Alexia and me. Are we going to the movies too?” He smiled at me and replied, “Good to know at least now we can go to my favorite Italian restaurant. Maybe we can go to a movie afterward?” “That would be lovely I have never had a diner and a movie date before,” I said. He queried, “So what kind of dates have you experienced before?” I asked him, “Jealous much? I have only ever had lunch dates where my family was trying to intimidate the boy.”
He looked a bit shocked by that and asked, “Does your cousin Xander know who the boys are? And more importantly, will he tell me?” I told him, “Why would he tell you that? And more importantly, why would you want to know?” He looked angry when he said, “I need to know so I can beat the s**t out of them and make sure they know that if they come near you I will rip their balls off and feed it to them.”
I told him, “That’s a bit harsh don’t you think.” His response was, “No I don’t think it is harsh because it is just my instinct.” “But my instincts are the complete opposite. And I think beating the crap out of someone just because he dated someone you love.” He just laughed at that and kissed my cheek before saying, “We need to get going so we can get you home before your family starts to worry.” I just kissed him on the cheek before saying, “Ok let’s go I have to rest if Alexia and I are going to go shopping tomorrow.” He laughed and helped me up off the ground.
Then we walked back to the bakeshop where his car was. And he drove me home, we were met at the driveway by my dad and uncle. “Hey, dad and uncle Drake this is Kyle, my mate. Kyle this is my dad Angelo and my uncle Drake,” I said. Kyle said, “Nice to meet you both I would love to answer any questions that you would have for me.” My dad replied, “Nice to meet you Alpha Kyle I would like to talk to you in-depth when you get a chance.” Uncle Drake responded, “It’s very nice to meet you alpha. You wouldn’t happen to know when your delta plans to bring my daughter home?” I answered my uncle before Kyle could, “They are only about a mile away uncle.” He said, “Why that’s all right and good Daph it doesn’t quite answer my question.”
Kyle told him, “They should be here in about ten minutes.” Just as he said that we heard Alexia’s voice. She sounded extremely happy and calm. I said, “And there she is uncle Drake.” As he was about to respond to the question Ben and Alexia pulled up. “So Alexia how was your getting to know each other time?” I asked. She replied, “It was great I learned so much about my mate and myself. What about yours was it good and where did he take you?”
I kissed Kyle on the cheek and told him, “I will see you tomorrow night. What time should I be ready for our date?” He replied, “See you tomorrow, and please be ready by six." “Ok bye Kyle and Ben, both Alexia and I will be ready,” I responded. Then Alexia and I walked in and went to get some food. “So Alexia my little get to know each other session was great, and he took me to a meadow about a mile from his pack boundary. Where did you exactly did he take you?” I informed her. She replied, “We went to the meadow me and you go to meditate. And we talked about almost everything until I couldn’t take it anymore and so I kissed him.”
“What!! How did he react to that sudden action?” I queried. “He was surprised and then obviously pleased by my action.” She replied. I didn’t know how to respond to her. So I asked her, “What type of dress she wanted for the double date we are going on tomorrow?” She responded to me, “Not exactly dressy but not too casual either. Maybe something in a light green color. What about you what color do you want?” I replied, “I want my dress to be sky blue with red roses on it.” She smiled at that and then we went to get ready for bed.
Just after I got into my pajamas there was a knock on the door. “Yes, who is there?" I asked. “It’s me Alexia I was wondering if you wanted to have a sleepover?” she replied. “Of course I do we can talk about the boys.” Was my response. She came in and shut the door behind her. Then she said, “What did dad say to Kyle?” “My dad asked for a private talk with him and Kyle said that he would gladly talk with him,” I told her. She responded, “And my dad what did he say?” I answered her, “He just asked when Ben was bringing you home. And Kyle told him about ten minutes but literally two minutes later you showed up.”
“Ok now what did you and Kyle really talk about earlier today?” she inquired slyly. I gave her an evasive answer, “We just asked each other questions. What about you and Ben?” She looked at me as if I had two heads. Before saying, “We asked each other questions and got to know each other. Though I am curious as to what subjects you and Kyle covered.” “Mostly favorite types of food and other basic things like that. But what subjects did you and Ben cover?” I asked. “Favorite movies and colors as well as past experiences.” She replied. We talked like that for another three hours until we fell asleep.
(Kyle’s point of view)
After the girls went inside Daphne’s dad asked me, “When do you plan to introduce yourself to her mother? Also, when do you plan to introduce her to your parents?” I replied, “Well sir as Ben and I will be here tomorrow night to pick the girls up for our date. I was thinking that we could introduce ourselves to your beautiful wife and sister-in-law then.”
His reply was, “That is a great idea, but you didn’t quite answer my second question.” “I plan on following her lead in almost every aspect of our lives together. So when she feels comfortable to meet them then she will meet them.” Was my response. “Ok, that seems like a diplomatic answer if I ever heard one. But you seem sincere, so I will let you slide on that for now.” He returned.
Ben and I smiled at that and said our goodnight before heading home. The whole ride home I was wondering exactly how to broach the subject of my mate meeting my parents with my mate. As well as how to bring up the subject of my sister’s mate with my sister. I pretty much decided that I would need my dad’s help with figuring it all out.
So I mind-linked my dad and asked, “Hey dad can we talk when I get home if you have time? I have some information about Cassie’s mate. But you can’t talk to Cassie about it because she has yet to discover who her mate is. Even though he knows that she is his mate and has talked to me about it.”
His response was, “Sure son we definitely are going to talk when you get home. And how can your sister’s mate know she is his mate and she does not know yet? Also, I promise that I won’t say anything to your sister, but you know that I have to tell your mother.”
I told him, “Dad he knows she is his mate because he is slightly older than her. I will tell you more in about five minutes when I get there, and I know you have to tell mom. But please make sure she doesn’t mention it to Cassie.” He returned, “Ok son, see you then and I promise that your mother won’t mention anything to your sister.”
“I’m pulling into the driveway now dad see you in a minute,” I informed him. “I’ll meet you at the front door son,” he responded. I parked and got out of my car. Then I walked up to the door as I was about to open it. It was opened by my nosy sister who immediately asked me, “So when are you taking Daphne out on a date?”
I replied, “Not that it is any of your business sister, but we are going out to dinner and a movie tomorrow night.” She pouted and said, “But big brother it is my business because I care about you.” I responded, “I understand that you love me sister, but I am a grown man that can take care of my relationship with my mate on my own. Now if you don’t mind dad needs to see me in his office before I go to sleep for the night.”
With that said I walked inside the house to see my father standing there just laughing his ass off. “Not funny dad just not funny. Now can we go to your secure office please?” I stated. “Sure it is son real funny, but your right the secure office is the best place for our meeting.” Was the response I got. With that, we walked through the house to my dad's secure office.
“Dad, did you ask for food to be prepared?” I inquired. He replied, “No your mother did because she figured you and Benjamin might be hungry. Now, what did you have to tell me?” “Would it be possible to wait to talk until after the food gets here?” I queried. “Sure son now first how was your time spending free time with Daphne?” he answered. Just then there was a knock on the door. “Yes, who is it?” my dad asked. “Dad it me Cassie with the food for Kyle.” Was the reply he got. “Come in dear, but then your brother and I have to talk,” He told her.
She walked in and said, “Here is the food brother by the way what is it you are talking about?” My Dad looked furious when he responded, “None of your business daughter!! Now leave before I get even angrier.” “Yes daddy, sorry daddy I’ll leave you two be.” She said apologetically. As soon as she closed the door my dad locked it. Then he said, “You were saying? Who is Cassie’s mate and what did you need my help with?” “Well dad, Cassie’s mate is my beta, James. And I need your help in trying to figure out how to bring up the idea of meeting you and mom. To my mate without her thinking that I’m rushing things.” I replied. We talked for twenty minutes more before I went to bed.
