Apologies
1055 Words
All the information I was told, especially about being Dante's mate, has gotten my mind all tangled up. I try to talk to him but he doesn't stay home long enough to talk. I try to talk to Michael, but he tells me to give him time. Dante and Michael were upset when I played that trick on them. I didn't mean any harm, but I wanted them to see what I could do. Dante couldn't see past his anger and wouldn't listen to me. I'm so frustrated I want to scream. Maybe I can do something special for them to apologize.
Halen thinks about what to do and comes up with a party. All their friends and family can come over and they can have a party. When she sees Dante, she will tell him how sorry she is for upsetting him and his wolf. And when she sees her best friend and Beta Michael, she'll tell him she didn't mean to upset him either. They will dance, laugh, and make up. Halen starts making plans to get the party going. Tonight, she will have everything planned and have everyone invited. It will be a great surprise for the guys tomorrow night.
Dante and Michael are sitting in his office thinking of how they can apologize for yelling at Halan. She just makes them so mad, one's her mate and the other her best friend. Each one cares deeply for her and doesn't want her to get hurt. She is so stubborn and never wants help. The guys sit and brainstorm about what they can do for her to make her happy. They come up with a plan to go clubbing, have a nice dinner, and watch a movie at home in two days. They want to try and convince her that they're apologizing for hurting her.
Two days go by, and Halan is ready to get this party over with. She is nervous and excited at the same time. She hears her phone ring and sees its Michael. She answers the phone," Hello?" Hi Halen, it's Michael. I was hoping you would wear the dress being sent up to you? It's really important for where we're going. Can you get ready, please?" She looks at the dress and sighs into the phone, "yes." They hang up, and she looks at the dress again.It is a beautiful, cream colored satin with embroidery on the bodice. It flares out at the waist and ends at the knees and fits her perfectly. She started to cry and grabbed a tissue. I wonder what the guys have planned for tonight? I hope it is to help me understand how this works, I'm confused about my role. Am I just his soon to be lover, or am I destined to be his Luna? I guess I'll have to wait and see what happens tonight.
I get I to the car and meet the guys at the restaurant. They both stand up and greet me with identical smiles. One with heat in his eyes and the other with love. I sit down, and then they sit down as well. I look at both of them and smile. Dante decides to say something to me, all growly, "You look beautiful in that dress, I want to go back home and take it off of you with my teeth." I wasn't sure if it was him or his wolf. A shudder runs through me and squirm in my seat. Michael decides right then to pipe up and tell me thank you and that I lok beautiful.
The evening goes well, and we are getting ready to leave when I notice someone looking at us. I lean toward Dante and tell him there is someone looking at us, staring menacingly. Dante gets up and goes over to the guy, and I hear his voice get very dark. I couldn't hear what they were saying, but it didn't look good since the guy facing us looked like he was really mad. The other guy leaves, and Dante comes back to the table. He looks at Michael, and he gets up and leaves after kissing my cheek and telling me he will see me later. I asked what that was all about, and he told me not to worry about it. They will handle it.
We get outside, and Michael is nowhere to be seen. Dante notices me looking around and tells me that Michael had to go to the packhouse and he would meet us later at home. I say ok, and we start walking toward the front door. We walk inside, and I ask him if I can go upstairs, I need to think about everything that happened tonight. He tells me yes and that later we could walk the beach if I want to. I get upstairs and change into some light yoga pants and a long sleeve shirt and lay on the bed. I must have fallen asleep because Dante woke me up to take our walk.
We get outside and head down to the beach. It is beautiful, the sun was set, and the moon was glinting off the water. I was deep in thought when I caught a flash in the corner of my eye. I turned my head to the sight of Dante naked in all his gloriousness. I asked him what he was doing, and he replied," Going for a swim, want to join me?" I told him no and turned around until I heard him splash into the water. I'm not a prude, but I just don't know what to think of him yet. He claims we're mates, but I just don't understand it. I've never sèn him before, I know we clicked the first time we saw each other, but that doesn't count. Or does it? I'm so confused.
I sit on the beach waiting for Dante to get out of the water. I yell out to him, "Dante, I'm getting cold. Can we go back inside?" He starts to walk back to the shore, and I forgot he was naked. I felt a flutter in my stomach and backed away from him. He caught my sudden sguft and sniffed the air. Oh God, I hope he isn't scenting me?" Hell, this isn't good.
