Prisoner of Posessive Love

Chapter 6 – The Reunion

It’s been two weeks already and these were the hardest two weeks in my life. The last day I saw the brothers my father almost had a heart attack when he saw us. I get him really. To see his only daughter in the hands of the cruellest and bloodiest Alpha known…  I would never forget how he looked at me when we broke of the kiss. My brother Dan, Megs and Tyler standing right behind him in awe. 

Luckily for everyone my father is not stupid. He controls himself perfectly in any kind of situation, so he didn’t create trouble for anyone. Demitry and his pack members said our farewells and off they went, taking my best friend, my sister, with them. 

I ran to my room, followed by Dad.

 - What was that, Alyssa? – he said with the most ferried face I’ve ever seen, - Did he force himself on you?

- No, - I lie, although he kinda did, - It’s just… We may be mates…

- May be? – father looked for a place to sit, - There is not maybe when it comes for mates!

- Well, - I don’t know what to say to him. Seeing how he reacted for Dimitry I’d better stay quiet about his brother Rafael. My poor alpha daddy can take one bloody murderer at the time, - There were sparks and all… I felt it when I entered the room… 

- Oh my goddess.. – he did not look well.

- Daddy, don’t worry, - I say quickly and sit next to him, - We’ve made a deal.

- A deal?

- Yes, daddy. We would have one date and if I decide that it doesn’t work for me, we’ll forget the whole thing, reject each other and move on. And this is probably how it’s going to be. So, no need to worry.

- Alyssa, this is the Crimson Moon pack! This is Demitry Richards! Do you really think he would let go of something so wonderful as you as his mate so easily? The man gets whatever he wants!

- Oh, Daddy, I am sure most of these stories are exaggerated, - I lie, - He seemed ok. Strong, but no blood thirsty or crazy. And he seemed to respect me more or less. Also, he gave me his word. So, I think I’ll be fine.

- Maybe you shouldn’t go to the wedding, Als, - I hear my brother Dan speak, he probably heard the whole thing.

- Guys, really, stop worrying! I am sure we’ll have a great time at Meghan’s wedding and will go home safely right after! Unless I would fall in love with him after one night! Which is so not like me! Even if we are mates.

- Stupid, - Dan was getting angry, he is a natural alpha and his emotions are hard to hide.

- Hey, - I say gently, - They were not so bad. No one is dead. 

- They took Megs, - My bro almost snapped.

 - Not by force, - I come and hug him, - And you have bigger things to worry about!

- Like what? – he snorted.

- Like me kicking your ass at the Trials, - I force myself to laugh, but I am not sure they are buying it.

- Alright, sweetie, - Dad says finally, - I am sure you are right. Let’s wait and see.

So, two weeks later and we haven’t talked about it once. We are preparing to go to the Wedding and I see that Dad is taking more warriors than we usually do. It’s understandable I guess. 

The only one I can talk about it is Meghan. We call each other daily and of course I told her everything. She says that the pack is amazing and not at all as scary as we thought and that there’s nothing to worry about. She also says that the Alpha seems to be ok. Not super talkative, but friendly. Have we really misjudged him? Megs also says that Rafael is sweet, apparently they talk a lot, especially about me. He already knows about the one hour that we get and he is very excited.  I am feeling weird about it, we hardly said a few words to each other and I only put the condition about him because I needed to make at least three of those to sound serious and I only came up with two.

 We are going to arrive at the Crimson Moon pack early, since I need to help the bride to get ready. She asked for it and her new Alpha approved. Apparently they also prepared a bridesmaid dress for me. I hope it’s not pink ruffles though. Megs promised to avenge herself after I laughed at her ritual dress. But she says it’s designer at least, so should be decent. They really let her go crazy with the budget there. Very surprising to me, since she is new there. But she says that it’s because her Tyler is a Beta and Alpha Richards respects him a lot. 

- Or maybe he just wants to impress us! – Kira opens the mind link. She hasn’t shut up about our mates once! 

- Maybe, - I roll my eyes, - But probably not!

I take my bag and check myself out in the mirror. Oversized sleeveless t-shirt over my sports bralette, tight black ripped jeans and light brown leather boots. Should be  comfortable in the car and the drive is at least 3 hours! 

I get into the car next to Dan, who is playing Candy Crush on his phone. As soon as I get I take a glimpse of my home and our pack territory:

- See you later, - I smile.

***

Finally we arrive within the Crimson Moon pack territory. It’s located deep inside woods, which is a smart move, I guess.  We drive through a huge black iron gates, which open immediately as we say who we are. I look around and gasp. Now, our pack is not the smallest and definitely quiet loaded. But this pack is just whole other level! It’s big! Huge! And everything we see looks expensive! No wonder Megs had a blast planning her wedding with no budget limits! That’s probably a drop in the sea for them! 

After a few minutes of driving through there territory we finally get to the main mansion. Which could probably fit our little mansion (should I even call our house a mansion any in their kitchen! We stop and I look at Dan amazed.

 - Could I become their Luna if you still don’t want to? – he laughs and I hit him. Hard. 

We get out of the car as the mansion door opens and I feel the scents of pinewood, citrus and freshly cut grass. I turn and see the brothers. Both handsome as hell. I feel like I am starti blushing. Boy, this is embarrassing.

- Welcome! – I hear Rafael say and see him wink at me as he gets closer. He is wearing a blue jumper and black trousers, while Dimitry is in simple white t-shirt and jeans. 

- Hello Rafael, - I hear my father say, - Alpha.

I see my father bow slightly and I am shocked. This is so not in his nature. Dan and I look at each other dumbfounded. Should we bow too? This is officially weird.

- No need to do that, - I hear Demitry saying. Thank Goddess!

I look at him and he smiles. Rafael is beaming next to him. Awk-ward. 

- Hello, - I smile and blush again. Damn it!

- How was the trip? Maybe you would like some drinks before we’ll show you your guest rooms? – Alpha was looking hopefully at me.

- I think I’d better go and find Meghan. We have a lot of work to do, - I look at him apologizingly.

- Of course! – he nods at me, - My brother Rafael will show you to the bride’s room.

- Oh? – I am surprised to say the least. I was sure he would do anything to keep us apart. But here he is shoving us at each other. 

- It would be my pleasure, - Rafael says politely and makes a few steps up the stairs, - Follow me, Alyssa.

- Ok, - I say and start following him.

When I pass Demitry, he slightly touches my hand and whispers to my ear:

- You hour with him starts now. And after that you are all mine.

My mouth is opened in shock. I keep following Rafael, but I am thinking about that Demitry… Clever. I give it to him. I can’t spare time for his brother now as I need to take care of Meg. And after that, when Megs will be busy with wedding and stuff, all my attention will be on him. I can’t help, but smile. I like clever men. And Demitry has definitely got a point from me now.

Meanwhile, Rafael is telling me about parts of the house we are going through. We are in a long corridor with A LOT of pictures on the walls.

- Who are these people? – I ask him.

- Our pack’s previous Alphas, - he answers, then he takes my hand and leads me to one of the last paintings. 

I feel sparkles from him, but somehow it is not as intense as with Demitry. I wonder why.

- And this is? – I look at him with a question in my eyes.

- My father, - he says proudly and beams at me.  On the painting there is a man and a woman. The man’s features are strong and he resembles both brothers. The woman’s face is soft and lovely, she is a beauty and her eyes are green, while hair is golden.

- And this is your mum? – I smile at him and his face darkens.

- No, that’s Demitry’s mother. She was the Luna before my mum.

- Oh, - I don’t know what to say to him really… Feeling that he changes the subject quickly and leads me to the room at the end of the corridor. 

He opens the door and light hits me. There is so much light! The windows are huge and the interior is lavish!  In the middle of the room I see her, my beautiful best friend-sister! 

- Megs, - I shout and run to her.

- Alyssa, - She runs to me and we hug. I missed her!

- Omg, Meghan, you look so beautiful! – I say and it’s true, she is glowing, - I guess it’s true what they say about brides!

- It’s also true what they say about expectant mothers! – she giggles and my jaw drops to the floor.

- What?! – to say I am shocked would be an understatement.

- Shhh, - she shushes me, - No one knows yet except Ty,you and  Raf.

I turn to Rafael and he winks at me.

- You’ve got yourself a new bestie, I see, - I laugh.

- I’ve got myself the only bestie, - she beams hugging Rafael and I choke, but she hugs me again, - Because you are my sister.

- Oh, Megs! – I hug her back, - I missed you so much!

- I know! – she squeaks, - Isn’t it amazing that we can be together again?

- Huh? – I say.

- When you choose my boy Raf here and stay in the pack together with me forever! 

Oh my! She did not just say it. I feel my face turn red. I am not turning to see Rafael, I am too embarrassed.

- Or you can choose Alpha, sorry Raf, I just need her to stay! – she winks at the man and I finally turn to face him. He smiles at me and looks me straight into the eyes:

- It’s fine Meghan, I can understand you completely on that one.
