Chapter 73 CHAPTER 73
I parked with minimal damage and I watched them approach the car.
Cael was dressed as hot and flamboyant as usual, a long, purple coat that matched my dress as though he knew what I was going to wear, with black pants, leaving his perfectly sculpted chest open.
I blinked, trying to chase away the sudden surge of sexual need that wrapped around my mind as I took him in.
Then I forced myself to look at Fabian, who was dressed in jeans and a nice shirt, but he filled up the simple outfit so much that I had to take a deep breath.
He was huge, muscular and was smiling as he walked to the window side where I was.
I rolled the window down and he kissed me before I could get a word in.
“You both are gonna make us miss out on the party,” Naomi said, and we pulled back with a chuckle.
“Hi love,” he whispered with a glint in his eyes as he watched me.
“Ready to party like teenagers?”
“Yes Ma'am.”
As he walked to the other other, my eyes met with Cael's in the car center mirror.
His smirk made me roll his eyes, like he knew he could rupture this dream I was in with a word.
But he didn't say anything, and the three of them filed into the back and I took a deep breath before driving off.
I didn't ask anyone why he was here, I assumed it was because of their growing friendship.
I'd have to warn him to stay off, they weren't going to be a part of my life together as fates dictated, so their friendship wouldn't bring anything good.
Who knows, maybe he's even drinking from the man or something. I don't particularly have confidence in Cael's moral compass.
I got to the Pack house and the gates were open unlike before.
Everyone knew the Alpha as the mayor of the town, and this party was basically a way to feed the locals the picture of unity and to squash all the rumors.
Nobody told me but something tells me memories would be wiped tonight, I already warned Naomi to always stick to me no matter what.
I packed and we got out to the sounds of teenagers making out in cars around us.
My eyes found Fabian's and he gave me a smile that showed he heard it too.
He took my hand and walked us in, our friends trailing behind.
“Damn, this looks amazing,” Naomi gushed right next to me and I nodded.
The Alpha and Beta family put in a lot to make this one for the books.
Lights strung between trees that had no business being that tall, a live band somewhere in the back pumping music into the warm night air, long tables drowning in food, and more beautiful people than any one place had a right to contain.
It was open aired but I knew more was happening inside the hall by the left.
And then my stomach growled at the sight of the food area.
“Off you go,” Fabian chuckled and I wondered how he heard the sound of my stomach in all the noise around.
But I rushed with Naomi to it and with glee, we filled trays for everyone.
Micheal helped us carry some and we went back to the seat and tables Fabian and Cael had found for us.
“This looks too good,” Micheal said, popping one chicken in his mouth, “tastes really good too,” he mumbled in between bites.
The stage was occupied by a dance group performing so we settled to watch that.
The whole thing was chill, there were more performances, we went back for more food and the Alpha came up at some point to speak to us.
But all through the party, my pheromones were skyrocketing.
Sabrina was purring again and again, Fabian was by my right and Cael sat opposite me, our legs touching.
He kept cutting the meat for me, and the way he was looking at me, if Fabian wasn't obsessed with kissing me every chance he got, I'd swear he would have had questions.
“Sera, do you want to go check out the inside?” Naomi asked, her voice normal because she knew I could hear her.
“Not really, I'm a bit too full. But take Mr Valkori with you.”
“But I want to sit here.”
I gave him the stinkiest eye in the world and he sighed, muttering a strained ‘fine’ under his breath before getting up to walk my friends in.
Their safety here wasn't guaranteed so even if I didn't want him out of here so I could fucking think about anything other than both of them taking me right here, I'd still have needed him to go with them.
“Is it just me or I'm not the only teacher that wants you?” Fabian's words made my eyes widen.
Fuck, he knows.
“I'm not so sure. When I was in his class, he wasn't very nice to me so maybe he's judging us for being together so publicly.”
“Hmm. If you say so.”
“Why aren't you eating?”
“I'm not hungry, I had my fill before I came out.”
“Oh.”
“Besides, I love tasting it from your lips rather than directly.”
“Hush, you just love kissing me.”
“I won't deny that fact,” he chuckled and pulled my face in again.
I was fully soaked by this time and was struggling not to take this too far.
But Fabian had other plans.
He kissed me until I was begging for something I wasn't sure I could have, especially considering our location. He paused and we joined our heads together, taking deep breaths.
“I don't want to wait anymore, baby,” he muttered, his hand rubbing my neck.
“Wait for what?”
“To have you. Are you ready?”
I've been ready since the day I found out he was my mate but I'd tried being proper and calm about it but Naomi's words from earlier rang in my head.
“I'm ready,” I replied, and my wolf howled in excitement.
“Come, I have a place in mind.”
I let him take my hands and we headed back to the car.
He drove until we came by a house that looked like nobody had lived there in a while.
I didn't care though, I just needed him to take me, I needed to mark him.
