The Spare Mate

Party planning

Chapter 6

Raquel’s pov

The next couple of days were really busy. We would meet after breakfast and go through everything that needed to be done. I was restricted to eating in my own room or the private dining room, as Xavier didn’t want the pack to meet me properly until the party.

I am not stupid though and I knew that the main reason for that was for him to avoid any uncomfortable questions, and also so he could keep away from me as much as possible as he made sure to eat all his meals with the pack, and with the pack knowing that Danielle is the future luna, she had to eat with him.

I mainly ate in my room. It was less depressing, and it meant no one had to leave everyone, so I wasn’t in the private dining room on my own. It was usually Craig who brought me my food as he was unmated. He stayed to chat and eat with me a couple of times to give me a bit of company. I know he doesn’t agree with the way Xavier is acting right now.

Sitting alone just made me miss my family more, but having Kelly and Doris around did help. They were so loving and kind, acting like my mum straight away. It was nice, not that I had missed out on not having a mum growing up, Auntie Rayne and my surrogate Mum Gloria had always filled that place for me, and my dad’s were great I was always able to talk to them about anything and they were always there when I needed them. Having these two bonus mums was just wonderful extra in my life.

I also loved spending time with Danielle. Our bond was strong, even if we had to be away from each other during the night. Doris suggested we swapped pillows, so we had each others scent close to us. It definitely helped us to sleep better than the first night we were apart, but it wasn’t exactly ideal. It was the best we could do until Xavier accepted the new situation.

Danielle had wanted to have night about with us until he got used to things, but he shut that down instantly. Despite the fact that his actions were hurting me I never wanted to hurt him, so I told Danielle it was easier for me to sleep alone as the two of them were so used to sharing a bed now it would affect Xavier more than me. She wasn’t completely convinced with my argument, but didn’t want to cause more issues between Xavier and I, so she reluctantly agreed to my argument.

Right now, I was almost swallowed whole by fabric samples. The food had been decided, and we would have a selection of mine, Xavier’s, and Danielle’s favourite foods in a buffet style so people could eat when and what they wanted.

I had discovered that Xavier’s favourite colour was blue, and Danielle’s was purple. Purple is also one of my favourites, so it was easy to decide that they would be the colour we went for. We picked out a nice white for the table cloths, out of 20 white’s that all looked the same to me, so I went with whatever one Danielle liked.

Like at my home pack, there are teams that you can go to who will decorate everything from fabrics to lighting. I had been to enough parties to know what I preferred, and they had a lovely big hall with exposed beams that would be easy to make look nice.

It was just the flowers I was a bit lost at. I don’t know much about the different types, I just know if I see one if I like the look of it or not. It was just as well that they had books filled with options. In the end, I saw some stunning electric blue orchids, which had purple tips. They were so stunning they didn’t need anything else to go with them. They were a statement all of their own.

I was glad all the choices had been made and that the party planners would be seeing to the rest of the work. Kelly and Danielle had said they were amazing at their job so I could relax and not worry about a thing, well mostly.

We still needed to have a shopping trip, Xavier wasn't best pleased and even tried to see if we could have the shops send a collection of items for me to go through. Danielle, Kelly, and Doris shut that down straight away, saying we had to see all the choices in the shops, and it would be too difficult to send that amount of items.

Now don’t get me wrong, I like dressing up as much as the next girl, even if my preferred choice of clothing is jeans or yoga pants. What can I say? I like to be comfortable. Xavier has already shown his distaste to my wardrobe saying its not what a Luna should wear, well he doesn’t want me to be luna anyway so I don’t need to dress as his vision of the part now do I?

Besides, I grew up around Rayne, and she most definitely wasn’t a prim amd proper queen with the way she dressed most of the time. She knew how to dress for special occasions, but didn’t see the point in wearing a skirt or dress when she was going to be training or crawling about the ground with the pack kids. It didn’t affect her being a queen, not wearing a dress or skirt suit, so I am sure it won’t affect my abilities either.

Danielle, on the other hand, was the epitome of what he thought a Luna should look like. She loved her dresses, though, and they looked amazing on her. We are just different people, and she wears her traiming gear plenty also, as she is one of the strongest warriors in the pack. Yes, my kitten is pretty amazing.

I have plenty of formal outfits in my closet for meeting with visiting Alpha’s and Luna’s and that’s where they will stay until I need them.

We did compromise with Mr Grumpy by having the shops shut for a couple of hours so they weren’t filled with pack members. It would only be the staff there to see me and wonder about me, and they are far too professional to get too nosey when the current and future luna are there.

Danielle picked a beautiful high neck navy blue skater dress, with lace from the sweetheart neckline to her throat. Whereas I went for a full length fitted purple dress, it had an asymmetric strapless neckline and high split on my left leg, I loved it and it having such a high split made it easy to walk in, and fight if the need arose.

Kelly looked like an absolute siren in her red fitted dress, which was lower in the chest than mine is showing off her assets to perfection. Doris went for a pencil dress in a lighter blue than Danielle’s and showed off her amazing figure. They were both so young and stunning looking it was almost hard to believe they had grown children. You just gotta love supernatural genes.

They wanted to get manicures and pedicures. Personally, I didn’t really see the point in them, as shifters they pop off each time you shift. My natural nails were a decent length at the moment, so I just got my natural nails painted in a simple, classic French manicure.

My favourite bit was the massage after I was forcefully waxed within an inch of my life. Oh well, at least I won’t have to shave for a while, but that sh.it hurts. At least I was relaxed again by the end of it, and my skin did feel like silk.

Now I just need to make it to my party with Xavier playing his very own game of hide and seek until then. With his whole cold behaviour towards me, the pack is going to be able to tell straight away that all is not well with the future Alpha thruple.

At least Danielle and I are spending plenty of time together, and with Xavier being so busy, I get to see if Danielle’s skin is as soft as it looks. She obviously has the same idea as she drags me to my room as her beautiful laughter fills the air.

After a very intense make-out session, Danielle impatiently strips me, bare licking her lips as she looks over my spread out body. She sucks on my future marking spot, leaving a temporary mark of her own there as her eager hands explore body.

She gently kisses and nips her way down my body, paying particular attention to my breasts before she makes her way down to my centre. Her hands and mouth tentatively exploring my dripping pu.ssy, finding what makes my body react more.

Fu.ck this is so much better than m**********g that’s for sure as she quickly finds what make my body a moaning mess, licking and sucking on my cl.it while her fingers explore inside me as she curves them slightly to hit my g-spot.

Unlike Raphael who played with others but kept his virginity for his mate, the furthest I have gone is kissing someone so this is all new to me, and for someone who has never been with a girl before, Danielle has caught on quick to exactly what she needs to do.

Just as I c.um crying out her name, the door opens and all I hear is “fu.ck” as a very frustrating alpha male looks down at us and I try and cover my body up in instinct. Danielle looks like the cat who got the cream, very pleased with her work, and that our other mate is there to witness it.
