Little bites, alpha(to be taken down for editing)

I had just finished applying my deodorants when Henrietta and Lucy walked in on me in my underwear which was just my bra and pant. They both walked in with huge smiles on their faces.

"Hey girll" Lucy said excitedly. A smile too was fixed on my face. I could not hide how excited I was for the date.

"Hey" I answered.

"Lucian didn't give us any information except the fact that you might need our help getting ready" Henrietta said.

"He said something about a fancy human restaurant" I replied to her earlier statement.

"Good. We have to pick something expensive looking" Lucy said.

"We should check the dress room for some vintage gowns of the older Lunas of the pack"

"Brilliant idea!" Lucy agreed with what Henrietta's idea. I just looked not very sure of any of their plans.

"I'll go get some and we pick from it" Ri said moving to leave the room.

"NO,no let me go" Lucy sounded really interested in doing the dress picking so Ri let her go instead.

"You can go with her if you really want to" I told Ri as soon as Lucy left the room.

"No. Not as interested as she is" She laughed it off. I nodded.

"Do you have an idea where he might take me?" I asked.

" No idea Rain. Why do you want to know? You don't want to be surprised?" She asked. I sighed. I would of course love to be surprised but my anxiety would not let me stop thinking about the venue. Besides that, going out with Lucian can be a lot. The stares he's going to receive.

"Overthinking spoils the whole mood. Why don't you think of a way you both are going to complete the mating bond tonight" She has a suggestive grin plastered on her face.

"That is not happening" I disagreed wit her.

"Why? You don't want to get intimate with Lucian?" She asked sounding offended.

"It's not that. I'm not ready yet" I told her.

"Will you ever be ready?"

"Yes, eventually I will be" responded. I hated the way I tune changed and suddenly got judgmental. Shouldn't I have a say to when I can mate with my partner.

"Do you even love my brother?"

"Stop talking like that Ri" I warned.

"Stop what? Asking if you love my brother or you just love the idea of being an important part of a pack?"

"Your plan won't work. I won't mate with your brother just because you think it is what I should do!" I yelled at her. Why is she back to the changed Ri. Something is not right.

"You're just selfish. You want everything under control but you need to learn that you do some things out of sense of duty" I took deep breaths and faced Henrietta.

"Is something wrong Ri? Why are you acting like this? You've changed for some weeks now" I said to her silently and as gently as I could be.

"It's nothing. I'm sorry for how I spoke Rain. I need to leave" Not giving me enough time to comprehend how fast a simple conversation escalated so fast Ri was already out the door.

"I just saw Ri. Is everything alright?" Lucy asked dumping a lot of clothes on the bed. I gave her my biggest and realest fake smile.

"Everything is fine. She just need some rest" I lied.

"Ok" Lucy said. She did not sound convinced but did not say anything.

"We should start trying on these dresses" I stood up from the bed and picked up a brown satin gown to try on. I did.

Staring at the mirror unimpressed I shook my head, left to right saying no.

"The colour" I said. Lucy helped me out of the dress and let me pick another one. This time it was a blue velvet gown. I loved the material and the look of it so I decided to try it on.

The gown was very long one with very small train behind. Every piece of the fabric hung to my skin and felt like a second skin to me. I didn't feel very comfortable, instead I felt rather exposed. Lucy didn't need to talk, she knew.

"Don't give that look. We have a lot of dresses to pick from" She encouraged raising a green velvet gown up. I was not a big fan of green but I decided to give this gown a chance besides the shade of green wasn't that bad. I tried the dress on and I immediately knew that was what I was going to wear. Lucy couldn't agree more to my choice.

"You look absolutely stunning. Lucian won't be able to control himself" She teased.

"Thank you Lucy" I pulled her into a tight hug" She breath a sigh of relief when I hugged her like she really needed the hug.

"Is everything ok?" I asked. She nodded.

"Sure?" She nodded again.

"When you want to talk about it, let me know" I decided not to push her any longer.

"I'm pregnant" She rushed out as tears slid down her face. I kept her in my hug.

"That's great news, why are you in tears?" I asked, confused.

"With the BLEHEIM coming Jack and Lucian wouldn't want me to join you guys with the fight and I need to be a part of it" She said.

"It's probably going to be for the best" I tried to make her see reason.

"You don't get it. I will be of great help to you guys. I can't tell him until after the BLEHEIM" She said. Not very happy with her decision I agreed with her.

"I understand you Lucy. I won't a thing but please think of your baby whenever you want to do something, you don't want to hurt the child" I told her. She nodded.

"I will" I smiled and hugged her.

"Why can't I smell the baby?" I suddenly realized that I could not smell the pub in her.

"I covered the scent with a spell. I will extra careful, I promise"

"I trust you will. I love you" I told her,

"I want to teach you a spell" She told me.

"What kind?" I asked.

"To protect my baby if anything ever happened to me"

"Don't talk like that_"

"I will teach you discreetly Raina. You should get ready, we barely have any time left."

She helped me adjust the dress and applied minimal make up on my face despite to arguments that I didn't want any.

"You look breathtaking" She has a big smile. I could not help but smile widely too.

"Lucian will be here any minute, let me take back all these dresses to the room." She carried the dresses back. Almost immediately she left Lucian walked in.

Lucian dressed in a green tuxedo, confused how he knew I was going to wear the colour green tonight I raised a brown. He had his smile on meaning he knew the question I had for him. Instead of a shirt underneath the Tux, he had a lighter shade of green turtle neck shirt beneath his green velvet tux with his grey vintage pants.

"You look_really good" I complimented moving closer to him. He brought his arm forward urging me to keep my hands in them.

"You look absolutely perfect in that dress" He said taking in my look in the long green velvet gown that had it slit up to above my right mid thigh. The chest area has a slanted opening exposing mainly my cleavages and the left said of the skin in my breast although it was all covered except for that opening. The back of the dress was all opened to right above my butt but the design of the dress has this big lace material helping to cover the back a little.

"Thank you" I smiled.

"We're thirty minutes late" He said as soon as we go into the back of a car I had never seen before. I know nothing about cars so there was no way I could tell which car it was.

"Your fault" I said. With a smile he whispered something to the driver before we started the car ride.

"I agree" He said.

"Lucy told you what dress I picked right?" I just had to ask. There is no way he would have just know. Lucy had to have told him, that I am sure of.

"Kinda"

"I knew it!" Not sure why I was excited that I was right I kept quiet embarrassed by my sudden noise which only kept Lucian laughing at me.

"Hey! stop it" I failed miserably in an attempt to sound angry which got me mocking me yet again. I hit his shoulder hard which stopped him immediately.

"I'll stop" He promised.

"You're mean" I told him.

"I know you don't mean that" He said holding my hands. Like he knows how weak I get when he holds me that way.

"I don't" I said right before he placed his lips on mine.

*****************************

We got to the restaurant about thirty minutes later. Like I had already predicted, We got a lot of stares especially because of our clothes of choice. Lucian pulled me closer to him and held me firmly at my waist as we went in to look for our seat. Before we could start any search a tall brunette approached us with a big smile. Because of my past I knew that smile was a learned smile. Smiling with a lot of rules guiding it. No matter how hurt or angry you are, you have to fake it for the guest, be careful not to make it seem to fake and forced too.

"Raina" Lucian nudged me slightly. I turned to face him quickly.

"Sorry about that" I murmured to myself but loud enough for his wolf hearing to hear.

"Mr and Mrs Randolfr?" She asked. Lucian nodded. She smiled.

"Your table is at the other side of the room, let me take you there" She offered. She walked ahead of us and we followed quietly behind her. We got to a part of the room that had the sort of coverage from the rest of the restaurant. The girl told us where to sit and left. As soon as she left Lucian came to sit beside me at my right.

"Your dress tonight is killing me" He groaned in my hear and I knew immediately that his wolf was threatening to come forth.

"I promise he's under control" Lucian assured me when he noticed how I still I went. I held his left hand with both my hands.

"I know. Don't feel guilty about it." I told him but he still gave that look, like he was still thinking about it.

"I never told you this before Lucian but I forgive you. I truly do forgive you for that night and I know one day we will get past it as a couple, together" I brought his hand closer to my lips before I gave his hand a small kiss. He stretched his left arm behind me to caress my cheeks slowly.

"You're going to get makeup all over your hand" I warned him with a small laugh when he protested but still dropped his hand to my back.

"Good evening" We both looked up to see a shorter girl with her black hair tied up in a bun.

"I'm your waitress for today" She introduced herself dropping the menu on the table. She left us.I told Lucian to make my order for me. Looking through all the options gave me a serious headache. When Lucian was done he waved the menu up for a second before dropping it.

"Why_" Before I could finish my question the waitress came. Lucian placed the order.

"I guess that answered your question" He had a smirk on his face.

"I ask too many questions" I groaned.

"I love answering all your questions so keep them coming" He encouraged. With a smile I leaned into him.

our food was brought in some minutes later. I was ready to devour because I was really hungry. i didn't take diner because of this date. We thanked her and we started our meal silently.

A few minutes Into the wonderful dinner I started feeling hurt. I didn't get why? The weather was cool just a minute ago. I decided to ignore it and I continued eating.

“Are you ok?” Lucian asked taking a huge gulp of his wine. I nodded, yes.

“I’m ok” I lied. I didn't want to ruin this date. Not for anything in the world. Every date has always been disrupted and I won't allow anything to disrupt this one.

Taking a gulp of my wine I felt Lucian’s hand on my bare thigh. I looked at him if I could notice anything in particular in his expression but I didn't. He went on eating like he wasn't slowly his hand up my leg. His hands went further and I held them down.

“We should leave,” I said not knowing who I was anymore. I just needed him close. Lucian agreed. He called the waitress for the bill when I held on to the table cloth. The heat I felt from within just clicked in. I'm in HEAT! Panicking I felt myself get hotter. Before I could comprehend what I was doing I heard screams of horrors and Lucian screaming as he took me out of the restaurant.

I got us with a lot of smoke inhaled already. Scared and relieved that I didn't get hurt I started crying.

“I’m sorry for causing this. I really am” Lucian begged me when I was still in his arms. His apology sinking in I asked him the question I dreaded the answer to badly.

“Did I do?”
