We sat in the court yard while my painting dried, so I could pack it away to finish it. I was enjoying the crisp breeze, the smell of mums, when someone caught my eye. And the mood was soured. It was her, the jelous she wolf Evelynn.
"Alpha." She said and walked up to Jake like they were old friends. He moved out of her path before she could hug him and he stepped beside me.
"Yes, Miss. Smith what can I do for you?" Jake said matter of fact. But Evelynn kept trying to get closer to him. I had, had enough. I put my arm out in front of him as a barrier. She just looked at it and scoffed.
"Please tell your pet to back down." Evelynn barked. I thought Jake was going to lose it.
"She is your Luna you will treat her with respect." Jake said through gritted teeth.
"Please tell Luna to back down." She corrected her self, but didn't apologize.
"Sorry, no can do." I said. "Whatever you need to say to the Alpha you can say it from there." I finished.
"Fine, Alpha please attend the ball my family will be hosting for my sisters 16th brithday party this coming friday." She said and handed him the invitation. I took it from her incase there was any posion on it.
"And why are you asking me and not your sister?" Jake asked the same question I was asking
Why did you touch that? he linked me while Evelynn was babling.
Because I have posion training.
And I don't? As the Alpha.
It's my job Jacob.
"Are you two done?" Evelynn asked in a snippy tone.
"I can cleary see you two are mind linking one another."
"My apologies Miss. Smith, if the Luna and I aren't busy we will attened." Jake said, and dismissed her. She lefted but gave me a nasty look. We wait a few more moments for the painting to dry before packing it away. Jake carries my painting and supplies back up to our room. He puts my painting supplies in the conor of the room next to the love seat along with the painting, while I just stand there looking at the invitation. I can feel his eyes on me, as I move to the bed and sit down. I study the invitation, a little too hard. Jake walks over, takes the invitation out of my hands and puts it down on the nightstand then he sits down next to me.
"What is going on inside that beauitful head?" He asked me.
"Why wait unti three days before the ball to invite the Alpha and Luna?"
"It is odd. Maybe we should have Levi look into it?"
"I don't think its that deep, but it is alarming." I say and then lay back on the bed, and let out a sigh. Jake leans back, and uses his elbow to prop him up. We sit there, stairing into eachothers eyes. When all of a sudden Jakes face changes like he just remembered something.
"What is it?" I asked him, rolling over onto my stomach.
"Ah, I didn't pay that much attention in health class but enlighten me on when your next heat is?" Jake said while holding his phone. I huff and lean up on my forearms.
"So, we get it every month just like humans. Mine is pretty regular." He just looked at me more confused.
"The same time every," I said not finishing my sentence, just looking at my hands on the bed.
"Uh-ah, so every month on at the same time, so that means you're do again?" He says and rubs his brow.
"Yep." I say and drop my face. Remembering what happened last time.
"We will get through it. I promise even if that means I have to go away or you. We both know we aren't ready for kids yet." He said and kisses me on the back of the forehead.
Its friday now, still no heat thank goodness. Jake and I are both in our offices taking care of some paper work when Levi comes in.
"Luna, Alpha." He says in a bow to us both. He walks over to my couch and sits down, lord is his scent extra strong today. I lift my hand to my nose to try and muffle to scent, I know disgust is all over my face and I am trying to hide it. Jake comes up next to me, puts his hand on my shoulder and looks at me concerned. I wave him off.
"Whats up?" Jake says to Levi, to break Levi out of his concerned trance as well.
"Oh, yea the party tonight, it seems there was some conflict on wheather to invite you two. But that is all we could dig up. It seems Mr. and Mrs. Smith, understand their daughters desire for you Jake." Levi said, Jake and I just nod.
"Well then darlin, shall we make an apperance?" Jake asks me. I just nod trying hard to not breath as much as I can.
"The dress code is cocktail." Levi says as he gets up and leaves sensing my discomfort.
"Thanks Levi." Jake yells after. Jake leans up agasnt my desk, holding my hands.
"You ok?" He asks me. I let out a deep sigh.
"Yeah now that he's gone. His scent was just really strong, and making me feel sick." I answered. Jake c****d his head and lifted a brow.
"Is that normal before you start?" He asks.
"Sometime." I say then stand.
"I am going to go shower for this thing and make sure I have something and don't need to call Littea." I say and kiss Jake softly on the lips.
"O-ok." He says confused.
Jake
This woman, oh goddess this woman. She is a mystery. But I am concerned about what happened earlier. I pull my phone out, and make a call.
"Hey, dad. I've got a question." I say walking back to my desk.
"Do I need to come office?"
"No, it'll be quick."
"Alright go head."
"How many times did it take for you and mom to get pregant with me?"
"Why her first heat after we matted, marked, and the Luna."
"Mhm, ok and did mom notice that some scents were stronger and made her feel sick?"
"Not at I can recall. After all it was, what almost 26 years ago. You should really ask your mother."
"No no that is the last thing. Please keep this between us."
"Now with your Luna it could be different she is a white wolf. Good luck I wont say anything."
FUCK f**k. I didn't think of that.
Zarina
I am standing in the closet looking at three dresses. I haven't even showered yet. Figured I'd pick the dress first. One is black spaghetti straped low back, mid-thigh with a small slit. One is red sweetheart neck line, strapless, sparkles all over it stops at the knee. And the next, oh my. Sliver, with sequence all over it like a disco ball. It is also spaghetti strapped but the back stops right above my ass, and it slightly shorter than the black. Ok yeah not that one, thats for more of a club I decide.
Red, or black? I link Jake.
Can I have more than just colors?
No. Red or black?
Black. Make me match lay it on the bed my love.
Okie dokie. I say and end the link. I pick out black slacks, a black button up, let him pick black boots or black dress shoes, and I lay it on the bed as he said, then get in the shower. After my shower I do my makeup. I opt for a dark brown smoky eye, mob wife eye makeup if you will. But as for the lip I chose a dusty rose lip combo, that complments it perfectly. After my makeup is done, Jake walks in he comes to me tugging at the towel around my body, as he is kissing me.
"No, no I need to dry my hair and you know how long it takes." I say to him and push him away. He whines, but listens. He sits on the loveseat and just watches me. After an hour my hair is finally dry. It's full of volume, and boy do I need to tame it.
"Oh thats my cue to shower." Jake says and stands. Once he is in the bathroom, I put my dress on before I finished my hair. I curled my hair and put it in rollers so it holds longer. I spray it with hair spray while its in the rollers. Now for jewlary. Since I will have my hair down, I picked diamond studs, a long gold necklace that stops in between my boobs, a few gold bracelets. Then I go to the closet, as Jake is getting out of the shower.
"f**k baby, even with rollers in your hair you're still sexy." He comes up behind me, in a towel.
"No no, you're wet. Go get dress." I bark at him.
"Yes ma'am." He says and gives me a wink. I walk into the closet and now I am stuck on shoes. They have to be gold, but open toed or closed? I stood there thinking, the whole time that Jake was getting dressed.
"Why boots and dress shoes?" He yells from the bedroom.
"Pick." I yell back as I grab six inch open toed gold chunky heels. I walk back out to the loveseat to put the shoes on, to see that he pick dress shoes.
"Interesting chocie Mr. Alpha." I said to him while buckling my shoes.
"I can dance with you better in these Luna." He said back, while walking into the bathroom to comb his hair. I took the rollers out of my hair, and ran my fingers through it. It looked perfect, beauitful big curls. Jake left the top three buttons of his shirt undone, had his hair slicked backed.
"You look," He started just starting at me, and I saw his eyes shift, then shift back.
"Beauitful, stunning, perfect. I could go on." He finally said.
"Thank you, are you ready?"
"If you are."
