Chapter 6 THE BREAKFAST
Hailey's POV
Saturday
I was surprised to see Curtis at the mating ball.
"Hey!" I gave him a tap on the shoulders. "Who's the new friend?"
We were at the breakfast buffet filling our plates. I knew I glimpsed him last knew but he slipped out of my view and then I could not locate him through the crowd of werewolves that were present in the ballroom.
As soon as I saw him this morning I was busy observing them for a while. He was holding hands with this girl and she was obviously flirting with him a lot. She tried to kiss Curtis on the cheek but he shy away from it. The disappointment heavily laid on her face.
The girl touched him in ways that only a lover should so I needed to investigate up front. He was not getting away from me today. My new found mate, Raj was by my side and he didn't know what was about to go down. Raj nod his head in acknowledgement, so eager to please me.
"H-Hailey!" He stuttered in shock as he turned to face me. "Oh, this is Jazmine. We met last night" Please don't embarrass me or ask me questions, he begged deep inside.
"Hi Jazmine, I am Hailey and this is my mate Raj. How did you meet Curtis?" I needed to know what the hell was going on here. Curtis wasn't suppose to attend the mating ceremony and if he was going to be here Sianna would have told me. In fact we would have been hanging out together, so what gives?
"We met las....."
"Last night at the ball and we got to know each other." He cut her off. "We hit it off immediately and decided to have breakfast together."
Jazmine was brassed off with the answer that he gave me. I let them finish at the counter so that we followed them to sit at a table. He was nervous which was a sign of guilt was. I was evaluating his body language cautiously.
"Is he your mate?" I interrogated like an undercover agent.
"Yes!"
"Are you gonna?" I asked him directly as I swallowed my egg omelet and then bit into my toast viciously. "Ouch!"
This trick ass son of a bitch just kicked me on my leg. Protectively, Raj immediately checked if I was ok.
"I felt a stitch pain but I am fine." I told Raj, while staring at Curtis and gritting my teeth. I was going to whoop his ass when we get back home.
The gall of Curtis when Sianna was so faithful to him. I hope that she makes the right choice. I don't want him to betray her love for him.
Sianna was too selfless and empathic and I hope she doesn't forgive him if he cheated. Cheaters should not be given second chances. I don't care what anyone else have to say about them. I know that love can make it difficult to break away sometimes but I promise to be there to help her through it if it came down to a breakup with Curtis.
"We agreed to get to know each other and take it slow." Jazmine explained. "We are not rushing."
"Do you have a boyfriend?"
"Hailey enough!" Curtis snapped at me. "You will not interview my mate!"
"What about you, Curtis? Do you have a girlfriend back home, hmmm?" I grilled him and cocked my head to the side the way a killer might look at his victim.
He slammed his fist on the table as his rage oozed and which drew the attention of others in the room. I am the Beta's daughter so his little aura doesn't intimidate me. Raj shifted a bit uncomfortable in his chair.
The question caused the desired result because now Jazmine wanted to know, "Do you?" She waited for his answer.
Curtis gulped and choked as I looked hysteric at his now disheveled image. I dare him to say no because my fist were ready to take him on. He finally stopped choking and looked at me with a death glare before facing her. "Yes, but we should talk about it in private." Jazmine slapped him on his cheek and left the table. He stood instantly and went after her. I shook my head with revulsion.
I am of the conclusion that he wasn't going to tell her about Sianna. I am not going to just stand by and watch my best friend get played. I am going to be there to see his next move, because if he didn't tell her, I would!
"Why did you upset them?" Raj caressed my shoulders because he could sense how angry I was.
I sighed to release the built up frustration. "He's with my best friend but he came here behind her back to hunt for his mate. A mate that he most likely doesn't want to reject."
I was still not calm but his large caramel hands on mine felt amazing as the sparks engulfed me. "Maybe he will do it in his time. They just met for heaven's sake." He was trying to pacify the situation in a low tone.
"We grew up together so I know him. He has that whipped look all over him." I countered.
My tea was cold so I gulped it down narrowing my Nordic blue eyes as my head was filled with a million thoughts of how I am going to tell Sianna. I was unsettled by Curtis' actions and what exactly was his motive for being here?
My left hand rested on my phone, itching to text Sianna. She had the right to get some signals first. My friend deserved to know the truth.
"Give him some time. He will do the right thing." Raj stated. "Besides, you have your own mate who is jealous that you are paying other people too much attention."
His chestnut eyes drew me in. This man was so adorable and gorgeous. Raj was 6'1, had straight black hair and was built like an athlethe.
I smiled at him and kissed his flavorsome lips. "No one could ever take away what's yours."
His wide shoulders relaxed. His lips moved on mine with instant response with our tongues dancing in to each other's mouth. His fingers went underneath the table cloth to find my thighs to slowly massage them. My short skirt gave him more access to my inner thighs and he indulge with pleasure.
We continued shamelessly as werewolves were accustomed to our animalistic sexuality. Most mate couples could barely keep their hands off each other.
Raj moved loose strands of my sandy-blonde hair and whispered in my ear. "The only reason I won't fuck you yet is because I want our first time to be special, my love."
"I hope that you make me feel the way a lady should be treated." I teased.
I will only give you the best of everything just like royalty." He pecked my lips one last time before he dragged me away from the table in the bridal style position. "I want you all to myself right now."
