The Russian Alpha's Property

Farewells & New Starts

Natalya POV

I was finding it harder and harder to walk. I had never been this sore in my entire life. I sighed because I really didn't want to say goodbye to my family. I knew it would only be for a short period of time but that so far wasn't the reason that I should be sad. Part of me knew then that I would have to be accountable for myself and my actions. 

Down in the dinning hall, my family and Stefan were already there. I sighed. I hated to be late for anything. Breakfast was a success but I could see my father looking at my neck hard. "Mated?"

I nodded my head. "Yes, father." 

He grinned from ear to ear. "Perfect. That means that the contract has been met by both parties." He clapped his hands together. "Now, lets eat so you and Stefan can get on with your honeymoon

I laughed and nodded. Suddenly I felt his warm touch on my thigh. Then it inched up further and his hand created rubbed circles along my tattoos. I smiled at him. This was going to interesting. I now had someone who could give me a playful yet hard time.

I could feel my cheeks flush and I had an insatiable need to touched by my mate. As if he could read my mind, he began to rub a little harder over my panties. Just then my father stood. "Thank you for having us but we really should get to the airport so we don't miss our flight. My father then came over and kissed my forehead and gave me the biggest hug he had ever given me. 

I smiled and then said goodbye to each of them,  Somewhere deep down, there seemed to be something nagging in the back of my mind as they started to pile in the cars to head to the airport. I couldn't take it anymore, I ran up to my dad and hugged hin tight. "Promise to write every week?" I whispered to him.

He smiled but I knew as I was looking at him that it was probably forced. Why did people try to be strong for each other in the most ridiculous ways. This time when my father turned to get into the car, I let him leave. As far back as I could remember, I was always very close with my dad. So as they left, My heart broke into a thousand pieces. I wanted to have them here too if I had to stay. Of course, I had to stay now. There was Stefan and now that both of us were marked. it changed everything. I knew that if I was too far from him, it would kill us both. It was some kind of sick game that our kind had to learn to live with. It was also the reason that some wolves rejected their mate. I didn't believe in that or any other superstitions that might be floating around. 

Adversely, why would I reject my mate? He was gorgeous and he knew how to push every single one of my buttons to get to me. He had been dong that since we first met as kids. It wasn't until the summer of my 16th birthday that he was visiting my pack that I saw something more. This was also the time that he spent harrassing me or announcing for everyone to hear insults that may not even be as bad as I remember them, It was because of him that I hated the way that I looked all the time. That only hit even harder when he purchased all of my new clothing that currently either hung up in my closet or folded neatly inside my dresser. 

I watched until the cars driving my family to the airport hit the end of the gravel driveway. Tears rolled down my face watching them leave. Here I was, scared of my new responsibities and lifestyle .Once they left, I looked to Stefan. I wanted to comforted in the worst way. Just to have someone, specifically my mate, 

I heard him clear his throat and I wondered if he could read my mind. No, that was impossible. It wasn't like he was a Lycan. 

STEFAN POV

I stood there and watched as she said goodbye to her family for what seemed like 2 hours. I am not a patient man. In fact, there were many things that  I was. Most of which, are not favorable qualities to have to most people that I knew. The moment I looked at her face when she turned to face me, I saw the tears rolling down her cheeks and part of me wanted to comfort her and part of me wanted to ignore any of this was happening. 

That was when I comforted her in my way but I knew that she was going to need some time to recover. I smiled at her and cupped her face in between my two hands. Using my thumbs on either side of her face I wiped her tears away and with that I finally spoke. " Go on and get ready for our travels later today. I have a meeting to go to first. Then I will gather youa nd your things. We have to be out of here by 5 pm or we will miss our flight and you'll be another few days before we officially get to the resort that we were staying in and I wanted her to clear everything for our relationship. 

To me, Natalya had a strong head on her shoulders that never took no for an answer. Sometimes I wonder what that pretty little blonde would take to our destination. "Go on and relax or go shopping, there is nothing else to do with everyone else going home for the long weekend. 

"I have a meeting to go to before we leave, I will let you know how it went on our flight." I knew that a good Luna and Alpha would need to be equipped with so many  new lessons that they would have to discover for themselves and I knew that. I also knew that too many people wanted more than what they were given. I leaned over and kissed her forehead. 

 I finally cleared my throat to get her attention. "Go. Get ready. Now." I said in a commanding voice.
