Lina's POV
I patiently stand there. Riley and her mate are inside my office. Riley probably explaining him about the curse and her insecurities.
Well, if you don't know.. her father, the former King of all packs.. Carl Francis Malloy is also known as The Cursed Alpha. Witch Audrey cursed him that he will not find his true mate. Instead he felt sparks with his cousin in a weird way.
It is that the curse also passed to his children. Caleb and Riley. No one of us knew but Witch Audrey also cursed three generations. That is, Carl.. his children and their children too. We were lucky that we got to know this soon. Witch Laura helped us break the curse.
Meanwhile, on Riley's eighteenth birthday.. she felt sparks when the Alpha of Red River Pack, Ian Sanders met her. Everyone were happy until they came to know they were fake mates. Like Carl and Abigail.
Another reason why Caleb is sceptical about his Beta's daughter. He is still wondering if she is his real mate or if he is just imprinting on her.
"Who kicked you out of your own office?" I hear Adi's voice and my eyes shimmer with love.
I love him a lot, I can't start about how much!
"Riley is in there. She is talking to someone" I shrug.
Maybe Riley herself should break the news about her true mate. It is not my position to pop my sister's secret bubble.
"Ooooh. Private?" He asks.
I nod.
"Okay. I am leaving to human territory. Need something?" He asks me.
"Chocolates please! I ran out!" I tell him.
"Okay. And?" He asks.
I think for a while and smile before I answer, "Get me lots of m&ms this time"
He nods with a smile and leaves. He often visits human territory. He dates human girls here and there. He finds happiness on human land. He feels that is where he belongs to.
And no one objects his trips to human land.
After few more minutes Riley opens the door with a smile. I see Alpha Jabari still sitting on the same chair he sat when I walked out.
"Yay or nay?" I ask her.
"Lina..." She pauses and looks at me, "your sister is not single anymore!!"
We both squeal and hug each other. Oh My Goodness!! This has to be one of the best days of my life! I saw Alpha Jabari smile as he looks at our madness. But I just can't help! I am happy for her.
"He came to know about the curse?" I ask her.
"Yeah. I told him. And the sparks were no less than fireworks. It wasn't this way with Ian!" She says.
I nod. Ian Sanders. I wonder how he is doing. The last time I met him was during my Alpha title ceremony. That too he did not interact much. He must be sad that he is not the true mate of Princess Riley Malloy.
"Welcome to the family, Alpha Jabari!" I smile wide.
He bows a little. So now he is my brother in law. Weird but I guess I will be okay.
"I'm taking him home. To introduce him to my family. You tell uncle Aiden and all. Maybe we'll meet soon for a party. His family and ours" she says and I nod.
I see Alpha Jabari walk towards us. He holds Riley's hand and they walk towards her car. Wow! Someone got their happy ending soon!!
I walk into my office again and continue my work till evening. Then I took a stroll around pack. To the borders. The patrol meet. And then home.
Sure as hell, Alpha duties are tiring. Uncle Luke left to Bloodmoon pack. To meet Caleb for his approval on our pack's new business that we talked about yesterday.
I see Papa and Maa in kitchen. They are baking cup cakes together. Wow! They are one such lovely couple.!
Or maybe I spoke too soon. I see them kissing each other forgetting the whole world around them.
I silently walk to my room and lock my door. Knowing my Papa, I highly think they might be already on their way to their room. They just can't keep their hands to themselves.
I take a shower and sleep on my bed in the same towel for what seems like an eternity. I wonder do other girls have this habit too? I choose my clothing prior to shower very rare. Like.. once in hundred times.
"Won't he visit today?" Nora asks me.
I don't know. I remember he mentioned he is getting a hang of timings between both the worlds. I don't know what time or day is it in warlock world.
I wonder how the warlock world looks like. They don't have m&ms there! So pathetic. Maybe if I run a business of selling m&ms there.. woah! It could be such a hit. Maybe I should talk to Donovan about this.
I throw on an oversized tee shirt I stole from Adi and some shorts before walking out. I see the coast clear. I see cupcakes out of oven and frosted as well. I grab two of them and put them on my plate. I see it's Pizza for dinner. So I grab a slice of it as well.
I take a bottle of water and March to my room again. I see no sign of Adi. So I guess his date is going good. Even that man! He cannot seem to keep it in his pants too!! I have dealt with few human girls complaining me that my brother stopped contacting them after s*x. I mean... I guess he must be a man w***e.
I eat my meal in peace. And I badly wanted him to come to me tonight. I miss him. I wonder if he thinks of me. I wonder if he misses me.
I hear my phone ring and search for it. I use it only to stay in contact with Adi. I guess he might be in trouble. I find it under the table and answer the call. Sure that is Adi talking.
"Lina!!" He says breathing hard.
"What? What's wrong?" I go into panic mode.
I hear a woman moaning behind.
"Nothing! I won't be home tonight. Don't let Mom and Dad know!!!" Is all he says before hanging up.
Bastard!
The scent of gunpowder hits my nostrils and my heart jumps with joy again. I turn around to see him in white and red t shirt. Black jeans. There he goes with black again!!
He looks at me. Looks at my outfit and lets out a nod of disapproval.
"Why? Is something wrong with my outfit?" I ask him.
"You forgot?" He asks.
Did I miss something?
"Change your outfit! We are leaving to my world now!!" He says.
That is when I recall his words on the note. He promised me that he would show me his world the next time he visits. And now that he is here.. I am excited!!!
I run to my wardrobe in excitement. I sense he is right beside me. I feel his body heat on mine. He is standing so close. My body aches for his touch.
He holds a random outfit that is hung with the help of a hanger. He slides it and takes a look at another one.
I feel his breathe on my neck. He is just so close. I close my eyes and stand like a rock. Unable to move.
I then sense that he stops going through my outfits and he is frozen too. But I still feel his breath on my neck. That means he is still close.
I turn around. And I open my eyes. His face is only inches farther. His black eyes so deep and dilated. He moves closer. Now I feel his breathe on my face.
He moves a little more closer and I close my eyes. I feel his lips on mine and I get lost in the intensity of the sparks. My knees go weak and he holds me by my waist.
My hands grabs his shirt for my dear life. I move my lips against his and he follows my moves so well. One of his hands holds the back of my neck and he pulls me a little more closer.
I bite his lower lip and he gasps. I take the time to slip my tongue in and I hear him groan. I smile into my kiss.
We had to abruptly end our kiss when someone knocks on my door. We pull away and stare at each other wide eyed.
