Chapter 46
Dylan Pov
Happiness is a word that I never expected that it even existed for me. I am finding it really weird and at the same time really awesome to be blessed with such a mate who could bring me that liveliness and happiness
I feel so alive nowadays.
I looked towards her seeing her happily chatting with her friends. She looked happy. Perhaps she was feeling the same as I am feeling for her. As long as she is happy I am happy too.
It has been two days to her birthday and now I am sitting on the couch while she sat on the stairs of the house with her friends chatting with them.
I saw as Bell touched the pendant that I gave to her and heard Jenny teasing her about the gift. Seeing her blush, both of them laughed at her and I smirked at her when she gazed my way.
She glared at me but I could see the happiness in her eyes.
She looked beautiful wearing a white sweater and a skinny blue jeans. Her hair was down and she looked breathtakingly beautiful. It has been impossible for me to work whenever I see. My mind keeps zoning out only thinking about her.
I was working today when my mind flew back to those pink and plump lips of her when I kissed her that day and at that moment I want nothing but to at least see her beautiful face so that I could steady my racing heart.
I came out of my office and searched for her. Her scent guided me down towards the living room and I found her talking to her friends.
I sat on the couch and switched on the Tv and flipped through channels but my mind as usually was in some other place. I kept glancing her way.
Finally, I gave up.
“Cole where are you?” I asked through mind link.
“In the garage” he said and pursed my lips.
"Ask Jenny to come to you” I said and shifted on my seat looking at Aderyn who wasn't giving me any attention. And it irked me.
“But I am workin-" I cut him off
“Ask her before I do it” I said and heard him sigh.
"Yes Alpha!” He said and disconnected.
Few minutes later I saw Jenny getting up from her place and leaving. I smirked seeing Aderyn raising an eyebrow at me.
"Oh now I understand why you asked me to call Jenny” I heard Cole teasing voice in my mind. “Don’t worry! I won't tell this to Blake. Enjoy!” He laughed and disconnected while I scoffed at him. Now only one was left.
“Bell!” I said through mind link.
"Yes Alpha!” I saw her stiffening in her place making Aderyn worried.
“Leave!” I said and saw her getting up from her place and leaving the place without arguing.
“Bell? Hey Bell?" I saw a confused Aderyn looking at Bell who walked away but not before giving a teasing smile to Aderyn.
I smirked at it and averted my gaze towards the Tv.
I heard Aderyn sighing and minutes later, I saw her coming towards me and sitting beside me on the couch.
“Do you know why all of a sudden Jenny and Bell left without saying anything? Is there a problem?” She asked and I shook my head negatively not glancing towards her.
“Dylan did you do something?” She asked and I raised an eyebrow looking towards her.
"What makes you think that?” I asked.
“Then why in the world are you grinning like a fool?” She asked and then I realized that indeed I was grinning like a fool.
"Oh am 1?" I asked innocently and she narrowed his gaze on me.
"Yes You are” she said and crossed her arms across her chest.
“No one should enter the living room now" I said in open mind link to all the members in the house. “Yes Alpha!” I heard their voice in chorus.
“Dylan?” Aderyn asked.
“Come here!” I said showing her my lap.
"What?" she asked looking shocked.
"Come here!” I said again and saw her rolling her eyes at me an then leaning against the couch and watching the Tv.
I took the remote and switched the Tv off.
"What the hell? I was watching it” she yelled and threw the pillow on me.
I kept the pillow aside and asked her “Aderyn I am telling you for the last time. Come here!”
"Why are you so keen on wanting me to go there?” she asked all the while glaring at me.
“My foot is hurting. I want you here for a massage” I said and watched as she gave me a disbelieving look.
“You are crazy!” she said and got up to leave.
"Congelasco” I said and smirked when I saw her freezing on her spot.
I got up from my place and moved towards her and stood before her.
"Why can't I move?” she asked looking horrified and I trailed a finger on her face.
“Because I don’t want you to move” I said and grinned when I saw her glaring at me.
"What did you do?” she asked in a dead tone.
“Nothing! Just used my power to freeze you" I said and I was sure if she was free she would have kicked me on my shin.
“Free me this instant” she said and I shook my head negatively “So that you will kick me? Nah!" “Dylan” she warned me
“Fine!” I said and snapped my fingers and made her free.
“Don’t ever use your powers on me” she glared at me and sidestepped me wanting to leave.
"Okay I'm sorry” I said as I held her arm stopping her from going away.
She looked at me and sighed.
“I just wanted to hold you" I told her with a small smile and left her hand. I went back to the couch and sat on it.
“Uh Dylan?” I heard and saw her sitting beside me.
“I am calling Bella and Jenny back to you. You can spent your time with them” I said and tried to mind link both them.
Like I froze Aderyn a few minutes ago, my mind froze the same way when I felt her removing my hands and sitting on my lap.
"Happy?" she asked with amusement clear in her eyes.
“Very” I grinned and wrapped my arms around her.
“Can I ask you one more thing?” I asked and she raised an eyebrow nodding at me to continue. “Can I kiss you?" I asked and she smiled giving me my answer.
As she wrapped her arms around my neck I smiled thinking that at least she was now opening up to me. Like I was to her.
When my lips met her, I felt those sparks and tingles flowing through my body. I felt electrified and I felt the thrilling excitement building up inside just by a mere touch of her.
I was working in my office when I saw a bright red light forming before me and I knew it was one of the witch.
"Cyreana” I said once the smoke disappeared and it took a form of a woman before me.
A lady stood before me with grey hair and violet eyes. She wore a black hood and held something in her hand.
“King” she said and bowed her head showing respect.
I nodded at her and got up from my place and walked towards her.
"What brought you here?” I asked confused because Cyreana Nox was one of the eleven witches and she was a very secretive type of witch. Most of the times she chose to be a loner, remaining away from every one. She is the only one among the witch who doesn't have any family or a near one. In our kind she was known because of her wit and her ability to change the future.
“I heard from Estelle that you have found your mate. Our Queen” she said and I smiled nodding at her.
"Wait! Let me just call her. I was thinking of to introduce her to the kind within these few days, but you can meet her today” I said and was just ready to mind link Bell asking her to bring Aderyn to me but stopped when I saw her shook her head negatively.
“I will meet the Queen in the ceremony. I wanted to gift her something in our first meet and right now I don’t have anything with me for my Queen” she said and I nodded understanding.
“Though I know how she looks” she said and I furrowed my eyebrows
"You have already seen her?” I asked to which she shook her head no.
“Then?” I asked
“I saw a glimpse of her in the future” she said and I nodded understanding.
"So what was she doing in the future?” I asked suddenly getting excited thinking about our future. “I saw her with you” she said making me even more happier than I really was.
"And what were we doing?” I asked out of curiosity. My voic, evident with a hint of impatience.
“I saw the Queen walking towards you and both of you hugged each other and I saw you kissing on her on her forehead” I found her answer very convincing. I liked the fact that we were even more closer to each other in the future.
“If 1 am correct, the Queen has long black hair, black eyes and is taller in height right?” she said and I gave her a confused look.
"What did you just say?” I asked thinking that I heard her wrong.
“The Queen has long black hair, black eyes and is taller in height than average girls” she said and I was ready to murder her.
"What?" I snapped with a murderous expression I stormed towards her.
“King I am saying what I saw” she said and took few steps back making me stop in my track. “Dylan?” I heard Aderyn and turned towards the door to find her standing there with a neutral expression in her face.
“Look at her carefully. She is my mate. She has brown eyes and brown hair. And her name is Aderyn Brookes the future Queen” I said with a dead voice and glared at her warning her to deny the fact. She gasped when she saw Aderyn. She took her hand to her mouth to hide her shock.
“I am sure that I didn't see her” she whispered to herself but I heard it.
It was enough for me to loose my temper.
“Enough!” I roared.
"Go away before I kill you” I threatened.
"Alpha I am saying you the truth. Wait!" she said and closed her eyes and chanted something. Within seconds, I felt my eyes burning and everything around me vanished.
When everything began to take a shape I saw myself standing with Blake in the front side of our house.
“Oh! There she is! Queen!" he said and bowed his head.
I thought that maybe he was referring to Aderyn but all my dreams turned into a nightmare when I saw another woman coming towards me. I couldn't see myself as the future Dylan was standing facing me his back. But by the noise I could tell that he was happy as I saw him laughing and taking the girl into his arms kissing on her forehead. The woman laughed and punched his arm to which he acted as if he was hurt. The woman surely had long black hair and she looked the same as described by Cyreana. She wasn't Aderyn.
Everything changed before me and I found myself back in my office room with Aderyn standing near to me and Cyreana looking worried.
"What is this?” I whispered
"What is going on?” I cried out loud holding my now throbbing head.
Everything seemed out of place now.
“Is this the reason why the Seniors haven't shown up yet?” I heard Cyreana whispering to herself and I thought about it now,
Why hasn't shown up yet?
They show up when a King finds his mate. When my Dad found my Mom they showed up just few days later and blessed them. Then why hasn't they shown up yet?
"What's going on?" I thought and took the paper weight from the table and threw it on the glass window making the glass shatter into pieces.
“Dylan!” Aderyn screamed
I turned around and ran to my room. I shut the door behind me and grabbed the jug full of water. Suddenly, I felt my throat getting dry. I gulped down the water and threw the jug into the floor. “This can’t be happening” I screamed and punched on the wall.
“No! No! No! This can't happen to me” I screamed throwing everything in my room.
My head was throbbing now and I was getting a headache now.
“Dylan!” I heard Aderyn outside of my door.
“Dylan please open the door” she pleaded knocking on my door.
“No! This can’t be happening to me. Why was she not in the future?” I asked myself looking towards the door.
“Is this mean that I am going to have a second mate?” I thought and sat on the bed terrified.
“But a second mate is blessed to those who" I looked with widen eyes when the door flew open revealing Aderyn who looked worried and miserable just like me.
“Those who have lost their first mate” I whispered realizing and felt suffocated to even think about it.
“Dylan” she ran to me.
“No! I can't lose you. You were meant only for me. I can't lose you” I began to twist my finger and shoved my knuckle into my mouth.
She came to me and stood before me. Her scent calming me but the beast within me began to pace around. He was feeling restless and was in edge. He was very angry and sad at the same time while me, I couldn't understand what to do.
“I can't live without you. I can't lose you” I said as I wrapped my arms around her waist and kept my head on her belly.
“You are mine!” I said and finally I felt my cheek getting wet. I was crying. Because it was again happening with me, though this time I knew from beforehand that I was going lose a person again whom I loved the most in my life.
I loved Aderyn.
She stroked my hair and I could feel the sad vibes coming out of her but she was being strong, masking it all.
I was feeling as if my heart was getting sliced into pieces. The memories of when I met Aderyn for the first time invaded my mind and wrapped my arms even more tightly around her thinking that if I leave her she might disappear from my sight. Once again everything was being taken away from me and I will damned if I let anyone even touch what's mine. Nobody could take my love away from. No one means no one.
I will destroy everyone if anything happened to my Aderyn.
“You are not going anywhere” I voiced out my thoughts determined.
“I am not letting you go away from me because you are mine and I love you” I said and heard her gasp.
