Chapter 56
RYAN
Damn, maybe Tristan wasn't so wrong about the threesome.
Catherine had also tagged me and Ilay, and we both felt like we were floating in seventh heaven. Who would have thought that I was doomed to share my companion? Perhaps this was a lesson from Mother Moon Goddess, for the fact that I usually acted like a Casanova and was in bed with many women.
Now my mate was also entitled to be pleasured by two men.
So be it. I had just got out of the shower and had wrapped my bath towel around my waist after drying myself off.
I walked out of the room and looked at Cate and Ilay, "I need your laundry service, I forgot I have no clothes here at all." I said and looked at Ilay with raised eyebrows.
He grinned at me, "What will it be? Armani or Gucci?" he asked me.
I shook my head with a grin, "I'll take Armani" I said, shrugging my shoulders.
He snapped his finger and I was dressed. I had a black shirt from Armani and matching gray trousers. The shoes were also from Armani and I had a matching Armani watch. "I'm going to be sick from all the Armani" I said and looked at myself in the mirror.
Ilay rolled his eyes "I guess they really didn't teach you the word "thank you"" he said and stood up too. "Good, you've already showered, there wouldn't have been room for two anyway." He said and picked Cate up. She shrieked because it seemed to be going too fast for her.
"Hey, let go of me!" She said, but he shook his head "You'll get a good scrubbing first, then we can talk about it." Ilay ran into the bathroom with Cate in her arms and probably put her in the shower.
I rolled my eyes and took out my cell phone.
Tristan: And did the threesome work out? I haven't heard from you again.
Ryan: Maybe you'll talk Maya into it after all ;)
Tristan: PLEASE? HAHAHAHA I can't believe it! I just said that on a whim and you jump right in.... I can't take any more HAHAHAHA.
I rolled my eyes again.
Ryan: You better stick to the whip and the crop, you're more comfortable with that. :)
I put my cell phone back in my pocket and sighed softly.
Ilay and Cate came out of the bathroom ten minutes later, dressed. I looked at Cate and bit my lower lip.
She was wearing a beautiful knitted dress that came down to her calves, with black ankle boots and a black belt at her waist.
Even her hair was blow-dried, with light curls. "You look good," I said to her and smiled at her.
"Of course she looks good when I do that," Ilay said, winking at me.
He himself was wearing a black turtleneck sweater that accentuated his upper body and gray pants like mine. He had probably chosen the Gucci version.
"Do we have to go in a partner look?" I asked, frowning.
"Oh that... It's more of a coincidence. You have to accept it, because I'm not going to change it." he said, smiling at me with his white teeth. Damn demon.
I rolled my eyes for what felt like the thousandth time today. "Now let's go, we have to go to the notary and sign the property over her name," I said.
Ilay nodded and flicked us off.
We landed in front of an office and walked straight in. "Mr. Edevane, Mr. Hamilton and Miss...?" the receptionist asked, "Crawford" I replied. She nodded, "Welcome, I'll show you to the notary in a moment. Why don't you take a seat for a moment?" She said and we sat down.
Less than five minutes later, the lady came back and escorted us into the notary's office.
"Good afternoon everyone. My name is Andrews." He introduced himself to Catherine.
"Mr. Hamilton, as you instructed me, I have all the documents ready. Mrs. Crawford just needs to sign everything and I'll do the rest for her." He said and looked at her.
Catherine looked between me and Ilay. We both nodded to her and she took the pen that Andrews held out to her.
He showed her where to put her signature.
"Good, that takes care of that. Mrs. Crawford, this is for you," he said, handing her an envelope.
Cate looked at the envelope and opened it slightly. Inside were two bank cards that she had for herself. This would cover all her expenses, she could take care of our child in peace and not have to worry about not having any money.
"This is yours Cate." Ilay said, smiling at her.
She bit her lower lip and shook her head.
"I can't take all this..." she said, glancing at the envelope.
I sighed softly "Cate, it's not a request, it's yours. You can take it with you for the first time." I said and smiled at her.
She finally nodded.
"Well then, that takes care of everything." Andrews said. We said goodbye to him and went out again. A Bentley was waiting for us at the exit, Michael was at the wheel and I had to grin. He opened the window and waved us in, "Get in." He said.
The three of us sat in the back, because Colette was sitting in the front.
Damn, I'd forgotten that. Colette. I could only hope that Colette and Cate had never met.
Following Cate's gaze, she made no sign of panic.
"Cate, this is Michael's companion, Colette... She's from the Ice pack." I admitted to her openly.
Cate looked at me for a moment and then looked back over at Colette, who had turned around.
"Nice to meet you, Catherine. Michael has told me a lot about you." she said with a smile.
Cate raised her eyebrows suspiciously "The pleasure is all mine." she finally said, but I could sense her unease.
Ilay looked at me with a puzzled expression.
'In the Ice pack, Cate was trapped for a year.... Those scars you saw on her were caused by the Alpha of the Ice pack,' I explained briefly.
His eyes narrowed and his jawline tightened 'And you accept someone like that into your pack? Are you out of your mind?' he said to me.
'She has no one else and she's my gamma's mate. We've checked it out. She's no danger to us, especially as she wasn't even in the pack at the time,' I tried to explain to him.
Michael looked at me uncertainly in the rear-view mirror.
'It's all right, don't worry,' I said to him and looked at Cate.
"You don't need to worry, it won't happen again." I assured her too and she just nodded.
I could feel the tense air in the car.
After a quiet drive of twenty minutes, we finally arrived at the place in question. We all got out of the car, except for Michael and Colette "Ryan, get in touch if you need me again. I think it would be better if we went for the first time, yes?" he finally said.
I nodded slightly "Go ahead, I'll see you later." I said and waved to Colette as well.
The work on the construction site was in full swing.
"Do you like the place?" I asked Cate, who was leaning against Ilay and he had an arm around her.
She nodded slightly, "Yes, it's beautiful here," I confirmed and hugged us both.
We returned the hug and looked at Cate. "We have something else" I said with a smile and whistled.
Liya came running out from behind the tree and jumped straight at Cate.
"Oh Caty! I've missed you so much!" She shrieked and hugged Catherine.
Cate laughed at the sight of her and returned her hug. "I missed you too, sweetie..." she said and hugged her tightly.
Kilian and Milena came out.
She had to smile broadly and Milena came running up to her and hugged her tightly. "You're fine... you're alive..." she said, looking at her incredulously.
Cate nodded slightly and hugged her too "Y-yes I'm fine so far." whispered Cate.
As soon as she broke away from Milena, Kilian hugged her and spun her around in the air. "Man, Cate what the hell are you always doing? You scared the hell out of us. You don't want to know how freaked out your parents are." Kilian said, looking at her incredulously.
'Who is this muscle man?' Ilay asked me with raised eyebrows.
'That's how I felt when I met Kilian. Don't worry, Milena is his mate and the Luna of the Crescent pack. Kilian is the alpha,' I said and I could see the relief in his eyes.
'I can still manage with you, but another one? That would be too much of a good thing,' Ilay said and punched me in the shoulder with a grin.
It was nice to see that Catherine could also be with her friends. It gave her something familiar again.
Kilian suddenly looked at me and came towards me. He pulled me into a hug and I returned it "What the fuck are you doing?" he asked me with a grin, shaking his head.
I shrugged my shoulders "The most important thing is that we're all alive, right?" I replied with a grin.
He nodded slightly "We're so happy about that, I thought Chiara was going crazy, but when Alexander found out, he beat up every wolf in our pack, we almost couldn't contain him." he said, running his fingers through his hair.
I bit my lower lip "I'm sorry about these circumstances. No one expected her to jump off the cliff..." I whispered quietly. I looked over at Catherine, who was talking to Milena and Liya and didn't seem to hear us.
Ilay turned to us "I'm sorry too, I didn't know she was in such a bad way at the time..." he said and smiled at Kilian.
"My name is Ilay, the fifth wheel in the car." he introduced himself to Kilian, who was now grinning broadly.
"Pleased to meet you Ilay, I'm Kilian, Alpha of the Crescent pack. The former home of Cate." he said and looked over at her.
"You are welcome in our pack at any time. Show your faces from time to time. I also think it's great that Cate will be living closer to us now. Liya has already been asking about her every day." He said with a smile.
"Shall we all have lunch together? I know a good restaurant." Ilay asked the group.
"Yes EAT!" Shrieked Liya happily and looked up at Ilay.
"Who are you? I've never seen you before?" she said, looking at Ilay in confusion.
"I'm a friend, your Caty. You can call me Ilay." He said and smiled at Liya.
"Oh so great! More friends!" she said happily and grabbed Ilay's hand.
"Now you get a magic show Liya, I'll flick and we'll end up outside the restaurant." said Ilay. Liya nodded and squeezed her eyes shut.
Ilay snapped his fingers and we were off.
