::Sarah's POV::
He was looking at me with a weird expression. Yet, he didn't say anything further. Did he even know what ''hunting'' was? That wasn't it. He KNEW what it was, but he wasn't telling me that. As we allowed our exhausted bodies to rest, we soon found ourselves in slumber. There was just too much within a day, my wolf deserved a good night's rest.
The soft rays of the sun crept its way between the crannies of the curtain. It was still a bit chilly, but Drake's warm made it bearable. I gently cupped his cheeks. This man had gone through so much, yet he never changed how he was towards me. To think, he admitted he would choose me over his title and hard earned rewards. But still, I didn't want him to sacrifice it all.
''Yeup, there's your sadistic side again.'' Jen queued in.
Good morning Jen. I rolled my eyes.
''Maybe you outta enjoy the little things. His wolf is also deprived, so we gotta balance things out.''
I did not get what she was saying at all. All that translated in my head was go have s*x with him, he wants us so give in, etc. I narrowed my eyes suspiciously.
''That's not what I meant...'' she growled, then perked back up, ''...well half of what I meant.''
Confirmed. My wolf, has a guy's mind in a female body!
But I had to break the awkward silence between us, ''So you do know what 'hunting' is right?''
''Well- yeah I do.'' he paused, ''But, from what I heard, only alpha bloodlines can do it.''
Is that so?
''I'm able to hunt as well, but I haven't done it in a long time.'' he sighed, ''To think that omegas can do it too.''
''What's so wrong about Omegas having the ability to do it? Do you think you Alphas are that talented against the rest of us?!'' I fumed instantly. I couldn't help it, what that b***h Megan said did sizzle me.
''No, that's not what I mea-''
''You Alphas think just because you got some royal magic juice brewed in you since birth you can look down on us?!'' I was hyping my steam to hotter levels.
''Please, just listen.'' he urged.
''No! I'm tired of Omegas always being looked as the worse runts of the pack! You Alphas get everything you could possibly want in life, while we are discarded and forgotten without the blink of an eye.'' My cheeks began to puff.
''Calm down Sarah.'' Jen whispered.
No! This whole thing is stupid! I don't even know what we are doing! We've been marked by an Alpha, an Omegas opposite! Not to mention we cannot wed one another anyway because of the stupid law.
''Babe,'' he looked sadly at the tears pathing down my cheeks, ''You need to relax.''
''Since when does telling a woman to relax ever worked?!'' I spat selfishly. But, a part of me did take a breath, to actually see his face saddened made me feel guilty.
''Look,'' he resumed, ''I will always put you first, if you want me to explain to you what I meant then I could wait forever if you told me so.''
Why did he have to be so. Ugh!
''Why can't you ever be selfish for once?'' I hmphed.
''Oh trust me, I had a lot of selfish acts in the past. But that was when I was just an alpha.'' he grinned softly.
''I didn't mean that alphas were selfish.'' I tried to correct my words, ''It's just our worlds and lives are totally different, we probably would never come to agree with one another.''
''That may be true, but now I'm an alpha with a luna. Gone are the days where I needed and was forced to be selfish.'' he then transformed that grin into a smirk, ''And I will marry you.''
I didn't know what to say. He was so sure of himself despite the circumstances and punishments he would receive.
Heh, he was probably just joking. Tryna cheer me up-
''I definitely was not joking.'' Drake mind linked in.
Hey some privacy please? I half wittingly said.
To think that he wouldn't allow even my thoughts to make me feel lonely was bittersweet. I did feel so much for this guy, but I fear there is so much I have yet to learn about him. Whatever was to come, I just want him to be by my side forever.
::Drake's POV::
The whole month of January came to an end, everyone was out and about from their hibernation. Security and defense reported nothing out of the ordinary. I haven't received any unwanted calls from you know who, but I had to stay vigilant. My top priority was to protect my love.
Before we knew it, February 14th rolled in. Ah, the day I always looked forward to when I acquired my mate. I hid this soft side of me away from everyone because it was irrelevant and a bit embarrassing. I was pictured as ruthless and dominant, but here I am, a puppy for my luna.
I already had our Valentines date planned out. I wanted to make this day all about her, whatever she wanted she will have. This excited me, for the only other female I got to do this with was-
Wait.
What the f**k?
My mind boggled and went blank for a second. I tried hard to rethink my train of thoughts, but failed. Who was I thinking of just now? My mom?
''Hey love.'' Sarah's voice snapped me back into reality. Man, this girl was gorgeous! She could easily have any alpha she wolves run for their money, and I'm not just saying that because I am her mate. She really had it packing. Her feminine physic was outstanding, her soft cheeks and bright brown eyes mesmerized me beyond my own will. Her pouty lips matched her pouty attitude for sure! I could go on in more specific details in other areas, but we will save that for another time.
But, she was stunning. She wore a dark blue elegant maxi dress. It's silk draped almost touching the ground, with her chest of cleavage in full view. Her high heels revealed those delicate ankles of hers, I honestly would've just cancelled our date, swept her off her feet and head to our room. But in the meantime, I could watch her all day.
We took a stroll into one of the most prestigious restaurants in all of the territory. The big pillars ribbed the outer parts of the eatery. Vines traveled up from the ground to the roof then elegantly hung at the clutches. Sarah was speechless and scanned the area.
''You like it?'' I bowed and offered her my arm.
She averted her eyes from me and sheepishly connected arms with me, ''It looks expensive.''
Really? That was what she was worried about?
''Ay! It's a good trait that our mate is not a gold digger to begin with!'' Terry defended.
Still. She deserved anything and everything.
We walked up to the reservation podium where we were greeted by the host.
''Ah, yes.'' he said with a gentleman-like manner, ''Table for two for Mr.Drake?''
I nodded in response and we were led to our table. Of course I had to get the VIP section, I wanted tonight to be spectacular.
As we sat down, Sarah was still uneasy. A waiter came up to our table and set down the a la carte menu, along with the drinks and desserts menus.
''Shall we start off with some appetizers or drinks?'' he suggested.
We quickly scanned for our drinks, ''I'll have your best wine.'' I puffed in pride.
Sarah barely made a whisper but we managed to make out what she was saying, ''Something fruity?''
The waiter bowed and made his way back to the counter where he would ring up our order. Then, we were alone. Sarah purposely hid her face behind the massive menu. But I can sense the foodie in her arguing about her shyness.
''See anything on the menu you like?'' I tried to spark a convo.
''Not- really, I have to admit this is my first time at a fancy restaurant.'' she still hid behind the menu.
I allowed her to peacefully select her choice and the waiter soon returned with our glasses. He poured an exceptional amount of the house wine into my glass, and he set down what seemed to be a midori sour topped with a cherry for Sarah. Not bad of a choice to be honest. It was definitely a feminine drink. Sarah and I said our thanks and I tipped him a generous amount for his service.
''Hey! Spend that on her not on service charge!'' Terry hissed.
I just wanted to spoil her.
She finally laid the menu down and I could have sworn it was like the first time I saw her. Back in the mall of her old pack, she was dressed more casually, but her beauty and that magnificent scent she gave off had not changed. Her shoulder scars were almost gone, but a permanent mark was inevitable as she took off her cardigan.
She breathed in and lifted up her shoulders then lifted her glass. I slanted and bowed my head and we made cheers to the youthful night. She took a sip of her drink and was expecting to taste alcohol, but her expression changed and her eyes widened in disbelief.
''Oh my god this is so good!'' she investigated her glass, ''I barely taste any alcohol at all!''
Reminder! Sarah is a total weak ass when it comes to alcohol, we had one too many experiences to confirm that. But still, it was nice that she was enjoying it.
''Well... if you're open to explore more fruity drinks don't hesitate to get some.''
''Are we ready to order sir, mada'am?'' the waiter returned.
''Ah yes,'' I handed him my menu, ''I'd like the T-bone steak with potatoes, throw in a side of corn on a cob.''
Sarah gave it a last scan before panicking-ly blurting out, ''Your special rack of ribs...'' she nervously looked over at me, ''...and a side of fries?''
''Right away.'' and he left again.
''I want you to enjoy yourself love. It's valentines and I want today to be all for you.''
''I know,'' she sighed, ''It's just hard for me to relax now than ever.''
Yes. We could not let our guards down no matter the occasion. The waiter returned with his cart of food for us. He professionally set it out for us and asked if there was anything else. We dismissed him and got into our feast.
