His Chosen One

Chapter 11

Chapter 11

I woke up to the warm feeling wrapped around me. I turned around and look at Shawn’s face while he was asleep. I look at him and all his facial details. His short curls, his thick eyebrows, his light brown skin, his rough beard that feels prickly to the touch. I trace my fingers along his strong jawline, his broad shoulders, along every single muscle visible, which was every single one of them.

I was so focused on him, that I did not realize he had woken up, staring at me while I was tracing him. “I could be here all day while you do that.” I look up immediately, seeing him awake and looking back at me. I blush, embarrassed of being caught. “Don’t worry Princess, you can do whatever you want with me. I am all yours. In any way you want.” He tells me. If I could blush even deeper, I would explode. I hide my face on his shoulders, while he laughs and hugs me tight.

“Come on, let’s get ready to head down for breakfast.” We both get ready and head down to the kitchen. When we get there, we are the first ones there. As we sit down in the kitchen island and have our breakfast served, Matt and Claire walk in.

“Good morning Alpha, Luna.” They both greeted us. “Morning guys. How was your first night Claire?” I ask her.  “Girl, you have no idea.” She says while blushing. Matt chuckles and sits down next to her.

We all eat and talk comfortably before starting our day. After breakfast, our mates leave us to finish pack work. Claire and I go outside to meet up with Luz, who is just arriving.

“Good morning ladies!” “Morning Luz. So, what should we do today? All I’m saying is that I do not want to be inside all day.” Claire says. We laughed and decided to walk around the pack. Luz showed us around to familiarize the area. By the time we came back around, it was already passing lunch time. We go back in and have our lunch. We go back out to relax for a bit.

We were sitting down and laugh, getting to know Luz more. “So, tell us, how long you been with Steve?” I ask. “We have known each other since we were kids. Once he turned 17, he knew I was his mate. I am three years younger than him. So, I did not know until I was at least 16 to feel him. We never actually went to the ceremony since we found each other. Since then, we had always been together.” She tells us.

“So, he waited for you until you were close to age to be with him?” Claire asks. “Yeah. Since I was only 14 at that time, I was considered too young to be living with him and mate.” She replies. “Wow. He really had to work really hard for him to wait for you.” We all laughed, knowing guys have it tough to hold their wolves from claiming their mates.

“What about you ladies? How you found your mates?” Claire and I took turns telling her how we each met our mates, even telling the encounter with my parents. “Are your parents really that bad?”

“They always told me how I would never find my mate. How I will always be mate less and useless. They didn’t even want me to go to the ceremony to begin with.” I replied.

“Hold on, why are they like that? What is their point in all of this? I mean, they had to have reasons as to why they act the way they act. No one does something like that if they didn’t had reasons why. No offense girl, but your parents have a bigger motive. Any chance you know why? Or is it something bigger and you don’t want your mate to find out?”

I look at Luz. I knew she was right. She was correct as well. I knew exactly why my parents are like that towards me. I just wasn’t sure if I was ready to say it to Shawn, but I knew that with Luz and Claire, I could trust them until I was ready to tell Shawn.

“I do know why. Claire and Monique never actually found out. I was threatened not to open my mouth, but I need to get this out of my chest. I’m not sure if I’m even ready to tell Shawn yet.” I said.

“Girl, you will always have us have your back no matter what. You have always known me all our lives. I will always be here for you.” Claire says. Luz nods her head, agreeing with Claire.

I think it through. I knew I could trust them. I take a deep breath, preparing myself.

‘I can do this,’ I tell myself, ‘I can do this.’
