making her my queen

kitchen wars

Antonella Sofia Russo pov

Dancing in the kitchen to Sunday Best by surfaces blasting through the speakers in the kitchen, my adorable companion had flour all over his cheeks and hair, my mother had told me we would be staying for a while and by a while she meant I would probably spend my birthday here, which was in a month and and a half away, his was in 5days then after two he would leave for his super secret training school which he has been attending every year since he was 18, I cursed at myself for knowing so much about him.

The cookies were done they smelled mouth watering, my shoes were in a corner somewhere and I had flout in my hands and on my cheeks, the sight was to die for, the little in me practically melted away, I pulled the cookies out while Marco tugged at my dress asking to be picked up  when I saw the redness in his hands where he had been tugging at me. The mother in instantly perked up realizing it was my dress he was allergic to, I held his hand yet my rings seemed to hurt, I took them off held his hand as we walked down the hall to the bathroom of my room on the way we grabbed him his robe, I bathed him in my aloe Vera bubble bath and rubbed him in tea tree oil and he was good as new, I gave him to a maid to go and dress him while l freshened up, he was squirmish at first but eventually agreed when I told he could have cookies and ice cream later on.

I freshened up quickly, reapplied my make up to look presentable but not too much like before and put on a short high waisted black skirt with large box pleats and a plain white polo neck short sleeved top Tucked in to the skirt with whites 3inch pumps. I went down so as to serve my cookies when I found a rather tall figure hovering over the ones I had left to cool down on the counter,

'My my my, look what we have here, a cookie stealing Neanderthal , anything to say for yourself Andyyyyyy' I asked mockingly. As he turned around I could have sworn his eyes flashed red but he did look mad, Domenico composed himself before he spoke up mouth full of cookie

'well you shouldn't have left a plate of gorgeous cookies unattended to LUCY, that's how you lost your babies remember'

Emphasis on Lucy, I felt that, but being the gracefully lady I am I shrugged it off and walked over to the plate from 12 cookies 3 were left, he really is a Neanderthal, how does he not gain weight, he must live for the gym. I took the remaining 3 choco-chip and 6 of the the white chocolate with smarties flavored one a tub of mocha and mint ice cream to Marco's room, then I noticed creeping slowly behind me with the remaining cookies and a tub of strawberry and chocolate swell ice cream .

I huffed out and stopped right at Marco's room, 'Will you be joining us ANDYYYY!'

'I was invited LUCCCCYYYYY'

He stormed past me and entered the room, I was left mad but I still went in.

'Hey buddy, I got your mocha and mint your favorite'

'No, his favorite is strawberry and chocolate swell'

'You have him figured out wrong then'

'No, you do' he practically roared at me, 'yeah yeah George don't let the jungle get into you, besides since he is here, he can decided, okay my angel, which one do you like more'

'I actually don't really like these flavors much, I like vanilla better' Marco said

Both of us were shocked, we both lost this round, the little boy got down from his couch and swiftly went to the kitchen grabbed some vanilla ice cream and came to sit between us. We decided to watch Coco, but the little sweetheart was out like a light before it even finished, we barely spoke except to fight about my cookies which he seemed to enjoy more than me and Marco.

We walked out of his room after tucking him in walking to different directions before going to bed me to my mother, him to his father.

Walking into my mother's room I realized a breathe I didn't know I was holding in, the calm I felt in this moment was relieving. My mother was by her dressing table brushing her preparing for bed,

'you guys missed dinner, it was just me and Franco (Domenico' s father) '

'Why do I have to marry him, this deal doesn't seem to benefit our family in the way it does theirs,

I get it we need protection, but we have been doing fine without it all these years, father comes back in just a year, then we won't even need, a deal in 3years is just, well bolony

I just don't understand'

'your father and I gave you time to come to terms with it,'

'telling me I have to marry some guy when I turn 21, doesn't cut it'

'so your father and I decided to send you to a boarding school for your college prep in Washington the same one as Nico' s,'

'what!! I thought we agreed I would be going to England, Luka and I had it all planned out, why are you changing now?'

'well Wolf Ridge is better than Blackfire, for starters and it will give you a chance to bond with Nico before your marriage'

'have I not made it clear my disinterest in that union, besides he is weird'

I stormed out of her room heading to mine, mad that in a week I would be going to Wolf Ridge,

NICO POV

As l walked to my room, I passed by my father's, deep in thought about how she was such an attentive mother to Marco, he never really liked anyone since mother left only father and I could calm him down, he had warmed up to his caregiver but not in the way a normal child would, but he looked at her like she was his mother. I was more than shocked at how great a caregiver she was even noticing his allergies to what she was wearing, I guess that's why she changed out of her armor.

'Nico, you missed dinner my boy, how is my Marco'

'sleeping, Father, she is quite attentive isn't she'

'always has been, fine young lady she is'

'yet, she doesn't know what we are'

'I think she chooses to ignore it in favor of what's sane in society'

'aaahhhh'

'you know before I turned 20 I could tell that your mother was my mate, I found myself drawn to her like a moth to a flame, can you feel nothing?'

'you know it's different for a human mate' I said this absent mindly

'Aaaaaahhhhh so she could be your mate, what an odd occurrence, I guess the moon goddess approves of this union'

On that note I walked out of his room taking off my suit jacket and walking towards my room , there she was the guest room next to my own room, her scent invaded my nostrils like a bomb. She looked at me like I was the evil one, with disgust, hatred and total disregard, I gave her a cold stare and walked into my room.

That look she gave me made my heart sting and made me feel distressed, ludo howled in pain in my head, I just couldn't.

I walked to my bathroom, showered and jumped into some shorts before heading to bed.

One more thing she didn't know, she was to be introduced as my future wife not only to pack members but our future classmates too on my birthday, she was going to be pissed before the thoughts of her anger consumed I slugged off to sleep.

*~*~*

The next five days passed away in a blurr with preparations being for my birthday, many alpha's and their sons and daughters would be here as well as other  wolves, not a lot of humans except those who knew about the secrets and my dear fiancé and her mother.

The house was always filled with laughter these days from Marco and Sofia, her middle name was easier to say than her first I opted for it, I hadn't spoken a word to her in about 3days. Why?

I heard speaking to her boyfriend, a guy by the name of Luka or so I assumed and yesterday he showed up, another Alpha's son hoping to get his hands on my land through her, I wonder if she knew his intentions. If she did I doubt she would be friendly about it, he will be joining us at the school /camp anyway, she would find out. I find my self hovering over her like she is some child I want to protect, how close, too close..... Close enough to know her favorite color is pink despite the stereotypes, she is not your usual Barbie princess and she surely can kick ass when it comes to combat, and she is flexible, very flexible, Ludo cast images onto my head regarding her flexibility, images I soon wouldn't forget. 'damn I am hard again, what is your problem ludo damn'

He often wasn't into the she wolves we dominated but he was into her which was surprising, I would know for sure if it was because she was my mate tomorrow. But for now I needed to keep my temper in check against this beach boy invading my space by my space I mean his hands on my fiancé 's shoulder. My alpha aura rained into the room, he was deeply affected he might have been strong but I am stronger.
