Chapter 60 - His Heavenly Mate
GRAYSON'S POV
--
I admire the glow on her face as she steps aside looks heavenly , her smile was so wide and my heart swells at how happy she looks . A guy walks up to her , he looks a lot like Mia . He turns to her , his eyes sparkling as he looks her up and down .
What the fuck ?
" Malakai White ." she announces him and I realize that he is Mia's brother , older brother
" Alpha ." he bows his head and she smiles at him . " Do you promise to be a brave and loyal beta ? To protect our pack like it's your life itself and take over in case something happens to me ?" she asks , but I don't miss how she uncomfortably shifts on her feet as Malakai bows down on his knee . " I promise ." I bite down on my teeth as she rests her hand on his shoulder , keeping it there for too long for my liking . " You are the new beta of the Argent pack ." Heaven - Leigh chimes , proudness covering her face . It feels like a lifetime until her hand removes from his shoulder and he stands up . Everyone around us howls in joy and I clap , this isn't really my time to applaud her , but later I will make her howl my name , over and over again .
She runs off the stage , stripping out of her dress and everybody respectfully looks away , except him . I walk towards her , standing in front of his line of sight . " Enjoy it my love ." I kiss the side of her head and she smiles when I take her dress and drape it over my arm . " I will be right back ." she takes off her shoes , which I obviously take too and I watch her shift into her copper wolf , everybody following her lead , their clothes bundled up on the floor all around . Heaven - Leigh's wolf is much bigger than the rest of the females , almost looking like a male herself as she strides forward until she's in front . She lifts her snout into the air before howling and they run off , all of their paws hitting the floor sends a vibration through the earth and I could feel it under my feet . I watch as Malakai runs slightly behind her , as second in command he follows her as they take a run towards the forest , disappearing behind the trees .

HEAVEN - LEIGH'S POV

" It was amazing ." I breathe out as Grayson helps me put my dress on , his eyes protectively flicking around to make sure no one is looking at me . " I can think ." he smiles and I can't help but wonder if he's excited about it . " You will love it ." I smile at him as I take my shoes from him and hurriedly put them on . Kai walks over to me , fixing the sleeves of his blazer and Grayson protectively wraps his arm around my waist , standing closer to me . " Alpha ." he bows his head . " Beta ." I chime teasingly , even if things were weird when he was drunk , we never spoke of it again after he apologized and now it feels normal . " Your father told me that they are waiting for you in the house , we are ready to party ." he bites his bottom lip in excitement , acting like a rockstar and I couldn't help but laugh . " We'll be there in a minute ." I inform him and he nods before walking away . " I don't like him ." Grayson deadpans as Kai enters the house and I frown as I turn my head and look at him . "What ? Why ?" I ask confused . " He likes you ." he grits out and only then I pick up on the anger radiating off of him . " He doesn't ." I shake my head in disbelief . This is wrong , I shouldn't be lying to him , I should tell him the truth .
" He use to , but I made it clear that I am in love with you ." I inform him , his eyes grow darker as anger takes over . " But he still likes you ." he raises his eyebrow and I sigh . " I don't care , he will get over his little crush ." I wave it off because it did not matter to me , all that mattered to me was Grayson . " I don't trust him ." Grayson growls lowly and I smack his arm . " Stop it , he won't try anything ." he shakes his head before rolling his eyes at me . " Whatever , let's just go inside ." Grayson's hand rests on my lower back and we walk inside , even if I wanted to tell him to catch a breath , to cool down but I know that will only make him angrier . He wants to see me , he wants to know that Kai won't come near me and that will always be the cause of our problems because Kai is now my beta and he'll be around most of the time .
I walk into the house the crowd going wild and Mia brings over two cups , handing it to Grayson and I . " Here's to you , baby ." Grayson lifts his glass and they all cheer again before Grayson kisses me on the forehead and we all drink .
The party has officially started .
Five drinks later , I kick my shoes off , my dress slightly hanging on the floor and I smile as Grayson and I slow dance to an upbeat song , his smile just as wide as mine . " Have you heard anything back from your warriors ?" I ask as I think of that man that was watching me . " Huh ? Oh , about that man ?" he asks , clearly it slipped his mind for a while and I feel slightly jealous about it because it's all I could think about .
" Yes ." I nod , our bodies pressed together as we sway around on the dance floor . " Yeah , I did . I'll be talking to the man tomorrow ." Grayson shrugs it off but I stop dead in my tracks . " So they found him ?" I ask , " Why didn't you tell me ?" I realize that I slightly sound crazy and paranoid . " I got it handled , you just enjoy your perfect day ." he mutters and I roll my eyes . I wish I can just focus on my perfect day , but I can't because until now , it felt like someone was watching me the whole damn time .
