"Shit, shit, shit, shit,shit," I cuss out in a string of words as I open the front door and slam it shut, panting.
When you have friends like Lia, never expect to be one time! After having coffee at the java with Lia and Jordan, Jordan left after finishing his coffee and insisting on paying for us, and then when I was going to leave to go home, aha nope!
Lia drags my ass shopping for shoes and boxes of chocolate. Her case was that, it was just that time of month so she need to stock up on sweets. Yeah, I know, "stock up".
When I inquired about the shoes, she went on about how heels are uncomfortable after maybe 4-7 uses and how girls can never have enough shoes.
After wasting my time shopping when I driving to leave for home, she said she needed to stop by McDonald's because she didn't have time to the gym for her "6 packs".
After waiting at the drive-thru for about 45 mins, and after dropping Lia home, whose house was another 30 mins away, I arrive home at 2:55. 5mins too early...
"Nora! Where in hell where you?!" Xavier screams, rushing out parlor which he had turned into his study that was located on the left hand side of the front door.
He was now dressed in loose fitting jeans with a grey V-shape neck shirt and leather jacket over -his simple metal chain dancing around his neck as he walked.
Ryan and Zayn follow, wearing something similar. They all had dead-serious expressions as if they had been struck in the face by a frying pan.
"I got caught up with notes for my history test, that I got from Lia." I rumble up some words, which ended up forming a lie.
"Sorry." I mutter by the end, not even recognizing my own small voice that was paralyzed with anxiety.
Zayn and Ryan tension dies down with the lie but Xavier didn't seemed to look the slightest bit convinced.
"Nora!" Christina hollers from the top of the stairs, still in her navy blue dress and pencil-tipped heels. "Xavier, later please."
He turns back to look at me, "Hurry," Xavier grunts, his eyes turning back to their own brown colour.
I nod and run up the stairs to Christina, who pushes me away from railing toward the hallway to my room.
I catch a glimpse of my brothers looking at me with their faces painted mixed emotions; Anger, worry, anxiety, tension and most of all fear, all for me.
"Where in the hell have you been?" Christina whispered, furiously with her hands pushing me from behind toward my room.
"Okay, fine. I won't lie to you, I wasn't getting notes from Lia. I was stuck with her shopping for shoes and chocolate because apparently her case that it was just that time of month," using air-quotation, "so she needed to stock up on sweets."
She stopped pulling me toward my room and spun me around, to look into my eyes to check if I was lying with her arms crossed against her chest.
"I'm being seriously honest with you Christina, I'm not lying. Call and ask Lia if you want," I say tiredly with a wave of my hand, trying to walk away but she places a hand on shoulder to stop me.
It was as if all the tension straining her face had been drained down the drain, replacing it with her usual kindness.
"Nora, you know me. I'm not your overly obsessed and protective as your brothers, especially like Xavier. It's just I care you for and when it has Alphas involved, especially Alpha Damon of the RedBlood pack, it instantly gets more serious." she said in a softer, more motherly tone.
I was sometimes so lucky to have sister-in-laws like her and the other two because they were like my mothers in my life more than anyone can ever be.
Don't get me wrong, but when you grown with 3 older brothers and you're the youngest and a girl, things tend to out of hand real quick. I seriously didn't know about "the talk", marking or mating process until Christina showed up on my brother's 16th birthday.
We were gone out to celebrate his birthday at Dairy Queen, when Christina happened to be on the night shift to raise money for her dream trip to Miami, where Xavier took Christina for their honeymoon.
She was before part of another small Pack in where she was the Gamma's daughter. Two months later after meeting my brother, her former Pack was attacked upon wiping the Pack's name from its existent.
"Thanks for worrying about me Christina, you know you hold a real special role in my life. But you aren't going to tell Xavier I lied right?" I asked scaredly.
I see her mouth open but surprisingly she laughed. "And risk telling him about 'that time of month?' Are you kidding me, that's something no girl would risk, especially me considering that's the code name for it in my squad."
I laugh along at my own foolishness.
Idiot! Remember the tim-, June starts to blab on but I blocked her off for now.
"Anyway, where are you guys sitting?" I ask simply, brushing my hair behind my ear.
"Nora, your brothers have given us all strict warning saying you can't be alone so we all have to stick together. As a precaution you know, even though the meeting has been changed to 3:30." She shrugged lightly. "It won't be so bad, we can a girls night out you know." She said trying to make me feel better.
Personally, I didn't mind because I understood the safety hazard of not following it. Examples; horror movies.
Also because luckily, my brothers didn't get their Warriors to watch after me. I knew the girls would've argued for the Warriors watching over me part, so I don't go against their offer of having a girl's night out.
"Thanks," I say, cheerfully, "but I'm going to shower again. I'll join you afterwards, okay?"
"Again?" She raises a suspicious eyebrow at me like Zayn does, when he getting the truth out of me. I'm really good at telling the truth and really bad at lying, just so you know.
"The orange juice incident in the morning," I reply, not loosing eye contact with hers.
"Oh yeah that," she said, with laugh, "I swear living with your brother has made my memory weak. Me, Angel and Mia will be waiting for you in your really bedroom in a moment, okay?"
"Got it boss," I reply with a sloppy salute, walking down the hallway, in to my room and grabbing the fresh towel, dress and pair of boots from my closet.
I eye the clock and remember that the time for meeting has been changed to 3:30. The current time was 3:20, so I had 10 mins to get out of my shower.
I strip, and hop into my step in shower. I turn the water on to hot and then I open the bottle to my new shampoo, it's sweet smell of freshly plucked roses
I lather it into my hair while it enriches my hair with its strong fusion, making my senses stronger. I rinse and use my expensive lavender body wash to leather up my skin.
I hop out of the shower minutes later, wrapped in a big cozy towel while I dry my hair by leaving it open and brushing it out before slipping into my dress.
It was a peachy knee high, high-low dress with a small sleeves and a thin golden belt around the waist.
I wore it with a long golden dangling necklace and of course my mom's priceless necklace, now freely dangling on my neck and then wore some simple diamond studs for my ears.
After examining my face in the mirror, I wore my short light coco brown Madeline boots that had small block heels to finish my look.
I smack some strawberry chap stick, with some bronzer and light powder for my tan skin. I can't do eyeliner or eyeshadow, so I don't even try.
I unlatch the lock to the bathroom door, to walk out when someone whistles. I look up to see Mia whistle again while Christina glazes down at my outfit. "What?"
"Damn, someone looks good," Angel says walking into the room with a bowl of popcorn.
"Why wouldn't she, she has to learn to dress to impress her Mate obviously," Mia says, grabbing, a handful of popcorn while popping some into her mouth while laying on my bed and on top of my fluffy stuff toys.
"Oh shut up you guys and get off my Nemo!" I snap, angrily, while rushing over to pull my large orange fish from under Mia's arms.
How dare they mess with our Nemo! I growl until June come bursting in.
Seriously? Our Nemo? She says on that are-you-freaking- serious type of tone, And save the growling for when we're in the bedroom with our Mate!
They laugh while I hug his fluffy orange fur against my body and pout, before walking over to my dresser to get a hair tie when it hits me.
That striking and unmissable rich vanilla and fresh pine cone scent as fresh as if it were right under my nostril. Not only me but my wolf was panting and howling with joy.
I wanted to stand back and ignore it but it had such a hypnotizing scent, reeling me closer and closer toward the door like a moth drawn to a flame.
What felt like years, turned out be moments before I eventually give up fighting with the smell and throw my towel and stuffed Nemo on the floor, rushing out the door.
Calls of protest continue behind me, but I ignore them all, blocking them out of senses because my mind was set one thing. My Mate.
Faster, faster! My wolf begged, howling with excitement as I gained closer and closer to my target.
I run down the hallway, and down the flight of stairs, not turning back to see my sister-in-law's calling out to me from behind.
I rapidly jog down the stairs, not caring if I slipped and fell because before I hit the floor I knew my Mate would have me in his muscular arms hugging me.
The second I reach the bottom of the stairway, I look into Xavier's study to find it empty, so I let my wolf pull me closer to my Mate.
My wolf follows the smell of my Mate into the living room besides the kitchen, so I run down the straight hallway to the kitchen -with several heels clicking behind me -and make a sharp left and down the 3 steps, to see a bunch of Alpha's seated on the leather couches.
The second my brothers smelled my scent in the room, they looked up from their work towards me with their expression darkening by the second. They stood up while the girls caught up behind me, pulling me back.
They remain silent, but the sound of their heels brought the attention of the other Alphas toward me as well and that's when he sees me.
No no no no no no no.....there has to be some mistake, I exclaim, mentally.
Yes yes yes yes yes, My wolf excitedly chants back. And there's no mistake in my love, you bitch!
But it can't be...I cry, nearly in tears.
Quite whining you brat, there's our Mate! She snaps back.
Can you just shut up! I scream. Do you know who he is even?
Yes bitch, he's our darling, muscular Mate! She howls.
"It just cant be!" I say aloud with my hands by head, squeezing my eyes as if it was all a nightmare and that it would be over soon.
The words escape my lips in a louder tone than before and with more anger, earning a blood-curling growl; making me stagger back with fear. I feel my knees shake with dread as the words rush out of his mouth in another growl.
"Mine!!" He shouts before making his way over to me. The second he's a hand's distance away, he reaches out and grabs a handful of my hair -not caring of the tears that were raining down my cheeks- making me tilt my head back, and plants his fierce dominant kiss upon my sweet and naive lips.
My Mate was the Heartless Alpha of the RedBlood Pack; Alpha Damon Romano. ..... Sorry guys, forgot to post the necklace that she wears, and I won't be able to post as frequently as I do right now because of school starting, so you might have to wait for the next chapter.
