chapter 24
"After I left for business I find that you've vanished, five years Lilly." I could hear the frustration in his voice and felt bad for doing nothing wrong.
"And then to have my little brother call and tell me he's expecting a baby with YOU and not his second mate." I could feel the anger roll off him in waves as it hits me, I look up to see his eyes are closed and he's leaning against the bench behind me. Before I could do anything, my wolf makes me stand up and hug him, Xander's arms instantly wrap around my small frame. Neither one of us spoke we just stood there hugging each other. I could hear his steady heart beat, my body relaxes into him as he runs his finger across my skull, I could feel my eyes starting to welcome the darkness of sleep. A loud bang from a door was herd and I flew away from Xander and moved to the other side of the bench. I herd him growl at my sudden detachment to him, but instead I bent down into the cupboard and grab a big bowl.
"Hello Dontae, what bring you here?" I hear Xander ask in a casual voice, I could just picture him with his large arms crossed at his broad chest and a small smile on his pink lips. Fuck that man and what he brings, I grumble to my wolf who just wags her tail high and purrs in my head.
"Why are you here brother? I didn't even know you had arrived yet!" I could hear Dontae taking steps into the kitchen.
"I came to say hi to my dear Sister in-law.” Those words sounded wrong coming from his mouth, I finally rise from behind the bench. My back to them both, I head to the cupboard and grab the ingredients for chocolate chip cookies.
"And did you say hi to my queen?" my heart skips a beat at the though of Dontae finally thinking of me first for once.
"I know Chrissy would like to see you again.” and my hopes died with his words.
"No I haven't seen your MATE, but U have seen my little flower here.” and my heart missed a beat once again, I smile to myself at the thought of Xander calling me by his little nick name he gave me long ago when I was little.
It's crazy how I could love both of these men, but for some weird reason I did and I couldn't stop it.
"Why do you insist on calling her flower? brother use her name, where not little children any more.” Dontae grumbles like a little kid, I shake my head at his selfishness and the place the cookie dough on a tray then put them in the oven.
"Because it annoys the hell out of you brother."Xander laughs, I watch as Dontae stares at his brother with a small smile
"Besides doesn't she look like a dainty little flower?” Xander gives me a wink and I blush bright red and smile shyly at him. I notice Dontae glare at me like I just killed his cat, so I glare right back at him.
"She looks like a normal female to me." that pushed my buttons the wrong way.
"Owe so I'm not the women carrying your child? or your ex mate? or the one you still have a claim on?" I hiss my anger out.
"You haven't claimed your second yet dear brother?" I break eye contact with Dontae and pull the cookie's out of the oven.
"No I've been a little preoccupied and besides you can't say much, have you found your second yet?" I freeze at Dontae’s question to his brother.
"I'm working on it, and once I find her I fully intend on Claiming her and making her Mine.” well fuck me, his words sent my head dizzy and I grip the bench. Why now you crazy bastard? I start to wonder if he has finally gone crazy or if it's me who's gone suddenly crazy.
"I can see you doing that to some poor girl you've just meet too." they both laugh it off as a joke but I knew Xander was serious
* Come mother will be happy to see you. Owe and before I forget Liliana you will be joining us for dinner tonight." And with that he left the room, I groan an lean on my elbows that are resting on the bench top. Arms are suddenly wrapped around my waist and a body pressed closely to my back.
"Come to dinner with me Lil please!" before I could answer, Xander kissed my lips quickly then vanished out the same door as his brother. "Why do they always do this to me? I swear these two will be the death of me one of these days. I walk off into the lounge room and watch a movie until it was dinner time. No matter how many movies I watched I knew something was going to go wrong tonight.
A knock on the door made me pause the movie, I make my way to the door and see no one is there but when I look down there is a present. Frowning I pick it up and take it inside closing the door behind me. Placing the parcel on the coffee table in the lounge room, I read the card.
WEAR THIS FOR ME X
I slowly unwrap it only to gasp at the sight in front of me. A deep purple dress with silver sequins around the breast, it's not very long coming up to mid thigh and it looks figure hugging. I gently place it to the side and pull out silver high heels that thankfully where not thin heels. I smile to myself and with my out I head to my room, I place it on the bed and then climbed into the shower to do my thing.
Once I'm done I dry my hair and leave it down in its natural waves. I head into the cupboard and grab my purple matching underwear. I stare at the G-string trying to work out if I really want to wear it with the dress or not. If Chrissy will be there then I know her dress will be short, tight and boobs out,I doubt she will have anything on under Neath. I smirk to myself and go with it putting both on I walk into the room and climb into the dress and heels. with a little mascara and eye shadow I adds deep purple lip stick to the look and then head out the door with my head held high. My nerves turning my stomach around.
I saw a guard at the door, he gave me a reassuring smile and then held the door open for me, I thanked him and then walked into the dining room. I froze when I saw more people then I thought I would see being here.
Anthony with a date, the third in command Sven and his mate Karen, then you had two of Xander's man and their mates. then there where the younger sisters Candy and her mate Max, Mary and her mate Christian and last but not least the two brothers and one slut.
I noticed Louisa and smiled at her, all heads turn my way but I ignore them and make my way towards the older woman who had two seats free beside her. I saw a guard pull out the seat for me.
"Thank you" I smile and take a seat.
"You look stunning my dear.” Louisa complement la and I blush at her words.
"Thanks I wasn't sure to start with, but it was a gift and I can't be rude.” I admit to her, the cheeky women smirks and then gives me a knowing wink. I shake my head at her and then look up, Dontae was sitting at the head of the table with his queen and then Anthony on his right and Ants date beside him, his third and his mate sat beside Chrissy and then you had Xander at the other end and his crew sat there all staring at me. it was only then that I noticed that Louisa was sat in the middle and I was on her left.
(What the hell has this women done now?)
