At the time we didn’t really talk about it, I could tell Four didn’t want to do I just thanked him but now it was like only a few days before the wedding and I knew he was going to want to talk about it soon. I was currently at my grandmas where I had spent most of my time for the last while surprisingly I had stayed here for a few days now and Four hadn’t objected to it, probably because he knew that it was weird back at the house. Everyone was getting ready for the wedding, the usual stuff only when they seen me they would stop as if I would get offended by it. My mind was telling me I didn’t have an issue and this was what I wanted but I could shake the heavy feeling I had that reminded me it was only going to get harder as time went by.
Four rang earlier, he’s lifting you so you can go back for tonight but he’s dropping you off again tomorrow Grandma informed me as she walked into the living room where I had lay for the last few days watching TV and FaceTiming my family. I knew the wedding was the day after tomorrow so at least I wouldn’t have to see it.
Yay I mumbled earning a smack to the head by grandma as she attempted to tidy the mess that I created since I’ve been here.
Did you enjoy your break away from me ? Four broke up the silence that filled up his truck since he lifted me. I knew it was going to be awkward but I didn’t know how awkward.
Unfortunately it wasn’t long enough I attempted to lift the mood that was already set in the car. I didn’t know why this was such a shit thing.
Four let out a breath of an almost laugh and it almost felt like it was before all of this mess, when I knew about the wolves and I was getting to do more things on my own. Almost.
For the next half an hour the car remained in silence until I realised that if we were driving back to the house then we would have gotten there by now. I wasn’t really paying attention to the road as I was lashing with rain but as I looked at the roads I realised that I didn’t know where we were.
Where are we going ? I asked looking over at Four, I wasn’t panicking I was just confused.
The pack house is a mess right now with everything but I wanted to see you tonight so thought a long drive away from it could help Four sighed one of his hands on the wheel and the other on his head.
He looked physically and mentally tired and I knew I was a part of the blame. I knew he wasn’t thrilled about getting married either but I knew if I wasn’t so upset about it then he wouldn’t have been and if this was more normal to me he would be fine about it.
Sorry for making you do all this I replied.
Don’t, it’s my fault that all of this even happened anyway love, I should have told you about it sooner. We’re going to have to talk about it though He tried to make a small smile in an attempt to try and make me not feel as bad.
Do we have to ? I asked already knowing what the answer would be. The feeling I had in my stomach only got worse when I thought about it, like when I was at my grandmas for the past few days I wasn’t really thinking about it but as soon as I seen Four he reminded me and my stomach dropped again. I didn’t know what it was making me feel like this, I asked for it to be stopped what else did I want.
Nothing for us changes okay ? I know it’s probably going to be awkward with the other pack members because something like this hasn’t happened before, but tell me if anyone says anything. This marriage isn’t going to be a proper one as such, she’s going to be Luna of the pack so you don’t have to be involved with anything to do with the wolves. I’ll try limit your contact with each other as much as possible because even though you might not care the mate bond will hurt for a while and your human so you can’t take that pain He ignored me and began explaining everything, not taking his eyes of the road once as if he was scared to even looks at me.
How much pain are we talking ? Was the other thing I really took from him, I wasn’t great with dealing with pain.
Actually that was a lie, I did care. I dont know if it was this stupid mate thing but I just wanted him to stop talking about it.
During the wedding the doctor said your going to feel like shit, so I was thinking that you should stay at the pack house just in case you need me- He began, I knew from his time of voice he was trying to downplay the pain I was going to be feeling but the last thing I wanted was to be stuck there while everyone was at the wedding.
Unless you want me to be a flower girl or something it’s probably best I stay at grandmas. I cut him off afraid that he was going to make his mind up about me staying there trying to lighten the mood.
Don’t joke about this. Your going to be in a lot of fucking pain and if I’m not there to help if I need to then what will happen ? Four snapped his head finally turning from looking at the road to looking at me his eyes now pure gold as he grip on the wheel tightened his arms clenched.
What will you honestly be able to do Four ? Your going to be a bit busy I pushed back sounding a bit more spiteful than I intended.
What do you honestly want me to do Emily ? You didn’t want to get married so I thought of the only solution I could and I understand it isn’t the best option but I’m trying to make this as easy as possible for you. And I can’t let you stay at your grandmas knowing your in pain when as soon as the ceremony is done I can come and take some of the pain away He sighed his voice rising slightly.
I knew this was just as hard on him as it was on me. He didn’t want to get married and just to make me happy he was going through with it with someone else so I needed to understand he was annoyed.
I’ll stay at Prestons I shrugged trying to stop this argument before it even started. I can’t imagine the amount of stress Four is under and I hadn’t thought about that since he took the weight of my shoulders. He’s still a person to and it wasn’t fair that he even had to do this.
Close your eyes please I tried to persuade Four who was currently at his desk after he refused to put on the blindfold I had suggested at first claiming that in case of a pack emergency he needs to be on alert at all times.
What for ? He asked again leaning back in his chair.
It’s a surprise for a reason please it’s in the kitchen I reached out grabbing his hand trying to pull him up before he completely said no.
He rolled his eyes letting me pull him up and drag him to the bedroom door when I turned around and signalled for him to close his eyes which took a few more seconds and a convincing smile from me to do so.
I grabbed his hand swinging open the door turning around to make sure he still had his eyes closed and finding that the were slightly open so I reached up as much as I could to cover his eyes before slowly leading him into the kitchen making sure not to bump into anything so that he didn’t open his eyes.
I glanced my eyes around the kitchen to make sure everything was set up right before I moved my hand from covering his eyes that by the time we got to the kitchen had already slipped down to his nose to watch his reaction at what I set up.
