Mia’s POV
”Thanks for everything.” I thanked Simone while getting out of the car.
With two shopping bags in my hands, I made my way to the sitting room, got in and was pleased Rick and his business partners were no longer there. I went straight to my room, dropped the bag on the bed, but then a white envelope placed on the bed got my attention.
I picked up the envelope, tore it open, and realized a sheet of folded paper was inside. Curious, I took out the folded sheet and opened it. With my eyes fixed on the paper, I read the six words written on it. ”I think it’s time we met.” I read those words out loud with confused eyebrows.
Curiously, I turned to the other side of the envelope to check if anything was written on it, but it was blank, which got me more confused.
”I think it’s time we met?” I read it out loud, wondering what it meant. Out of curiosity, I left my room and made my way downstairs. Walking towards the direction of the servants’ quarters, I met the butler. ”Good day miss Mia, would you want anything?” He asked.
”Not really, but do you mind telling me who dropped a letter in my room? Did a letter come for me?” I asked, curious.
”Yes, my lady, the postman brought a letter for you. I told one of the female servants to give it to you. Is there a problem, my lady?” He asked with inquisitive eyes, while I just shook my head. ”No, I just saw it and was curious.” I responded and walked away.
Staring at the paper in my hand, I was confused and at the same time curious about the content and the sender of the letter. The letter held no address or name. Only those six mysterious words were written on it, getting me confused.
”Maybe the letter is from a crush, who has been hiding away from you.” My Wolf suggested, but I find it hard to believe.
I was never the social type, neither did I interact with people much. Since my parent’s death, I have only interacted with Rachel and Sandra and few of my classmates when it comes to school projects, so there was definitely no tendency of me having a crush.
”So, what will you do about the letter?” She asked, ”Nothing.” I responded and threw it into the waste bin in my room. So many things were going on in my life, and I wouldn’t let a mysterious letter add to my worries.
Few minutes later, my phone rang. I went for it and saw that the caller was Sandra. ”Hey!” I greeted the moment I picked up, ”Where have you been and why have you not been picking my calls?” She questioned, annoyed.
With a heavy sigh, I sat on the bed, but didn’t say a word. ”Is something wrong?” She asked, ”Not really, just that I might be going to France for my university degree.” I responded with a sigh, ”France?” She asked, shocked, ”Yeah!” I responded.
”You never made mention of France, I believe this was alpha Ricardo’s plan to send you away?” She asked why I just hummed.
”Shit, this is terrible, are you really going?” She asked, ”I don’t know.” I responded with a sigh, leaving my friends here was a big deal for me, but it was better I leave.
”Does Rachael know about this?” She asked, ”No, not yet.” I responded.
The line went silent for a while until I decided to speak. ”I’m going to a ball.” I announced. ”A ball?” She asked, excited. ”Yeah, I’m going with alpha Joshua.” I whispered. ”Alpha… Joshua?” She asked, stunned. ”Yeah.” I responded while rolling my eyes. ”This is big news, don’t tell me he is your mate?” She asked, ”I wish!” I scoffed and stood to my feet. ”He is far from being my mate.” I scoffed and walked up to my window.
”Woah, you have a lot to tell us, Rachael and I will be in your house first thing tomorrow morning, don’t you dare keep anything away from us.” She warned, while I just chuckled and ended the call.
With a deep breath, I stared outside the window and spotted Alpha Rick standing with two guards. He was just putting on jeans while he was shirtless, revealing his packs and muscles. ”So hot!” My wolf growled in my head, ”Stop it, it’s disgusting.” I groaned and tried looking away, but I couldn’t.
Without being told, I knew he was training with his men, and I was curious to watch him perform.
With my eyes on him, I watched the men attack him. He exchanged combat with the two men and flung one away. The other hurried to him, but he whacked him by the arms and fell him to the ground. The two men hurriedly stood to their feet and hurried to him, and he easily brought their backs to the ground.
The two men whined in pain, indicating they could no longer continue with the fight. ”So strong.” My wolf praised, forcing a heavy sigh out of my lips. I left the window, went to my study table and sat behind it. I switched on my laptop and the first notification I got was from a strange email. I clicked on the email and read what was sent, ”I believe you’ve seen my letter.” That was what the email contained.
”Who the Fuck is this.” I yelled and began typing on my computer. ”Whoever you are, I’ll advise you to stay the fuck away from me, I’m not in the mood for such play.” I typed those words and sent it to the mysterious sender.
”He might just be an admirer from school.” My wood suggested, which made me scoffed and stood to my feet.
I went straight to bed to take a nap before preparing for the ball.
I was awoken by Alpha Joshua’s voice in my head. ”Mia!” He called through mind Link. ”I can hear you.” I responded and sat on the bed. I moved my gaze to the wall clock and realized it was 4pm already.
”I just wanted to check up on you and see if everything is okay.” ”Everything is fine, I’m just about getting ready.” I responded while leaving the bed.
”Very well, then I’ll be at your gate by 5pm.” ”Alright, I’ll be waiting for you.” I responded and ended the mind Link.
I took off my clothes and walked into the bathroom, totally naked. I put on the shower, took a quick bath and walked back into the room with a towel wrapped around my chest.
I walked straight to my dressing mirror, plugged the hair dryer and dried my hair with it before applying some lotion and spray on my body. I took out the long blue dress from the bag, wore it and zipped it up.
With a half smile on my face, I stared at myself through the mirror and couldn’t believe how stunning I looked. The dress has long sleeve hands, a split on my right thigh revealing some part of my right lap. The breast curve area of the dress was embroidered with silver aplic which matched with my shoes and purse.
I left the mirror, took out the silver five-inch hill from the bag and put it on my feet. I went back to the dressing mirror, sat behind it and applied light makeup on my face. After I was done with my makeup, I combed my hair and let it loose on my shoulders.
With a deep breath, I stood to my feet and stared into the mirror one more time before going for my purse on the bed.
Just when I picked up the purse, alpha Joshua announced his arrival through mind Link. ”I will be with you in two minutes.” I responded, picked up my phone and put some cash inside my purse.
I left my room, took the stairs to the sitting room and met aunt Cara coming out from the kitchen. ”My oh my, who do we have here!” She praised, while I just beamed shyly and tucked my hair behind my ears. ”You look amazing, where are you going?” She asked, ”I’m going to a ball.” I responded while moving my gaze around. ”A ball? Were you supposed to go with Alpha Ricardo, he had already left few minutes ago.” She announced. Her words reminded me that alpha Ricardo would be at the ball, which I totally forgot.
”No, I’ll be going with someone else, see you later.” I gave her a goodbye kiss on the cheek and made my way out of the sitting room.
I walked towards the gate and could notice the admiring look I got from the servants and guards I met on my way. Without waiting for the guard to open up, I opened the gate myself and walked out of the mansion.
When I got outside the mansion, I met alpha Joshua, also dressed in a navy-blue suit. The suit fits him so perfectly that I couldn’t help but admire him. ”What a perfect coincidence.” He muttered while making his way to me. ”You look amazing.” He praised and placed a kiss on my both cheeks. ”Thanks.” I shyly responded and tucked my hair behind my ears.
I saw him move his gaze on me and if I didn’t know he was gay I would have thought he was into me. ”What?” I asked with a scoff, ”We have to drop somewhere.” He said while opening the back door of the car. ”Thank you!” I said and entered the car, while he turned around and entered the car.
He sat beside me and signaled his driver to drive, which he did.
”Are you nervous?” He asked, ”A bit.” I responded, ”You don’t have to be, I’m right here with you.” He assured me, while I just smiled and looked away.
The drive was silent until the driver drove and parked in front of a jewellery shop. ”Give me a minute.” He said, while I just hummed and nodded my head.
He left the car and went inside the shop, probably to get a birthday present for the celebrant. ”Aren’t you nervous?” My wolf asked, ”About seeing Alpha Ricardo there?” I asked, ”Yeah.” She responded. ”Whatever, I don’t care.” I grumbled and caught the eyes of the driver staring at me through the mirror.
We held each other’s gaze, and he shyly smiled at me. ”Good day, my lady!” He greeted, ”Good evening to you, and you can just call me Mia.” I responded. ”I doubt if I can do that.” His response got me confused, ”Why?” ”Because you are alpha Joshua’s girlfriend and might be the Luna of our pack someday, so I’m not allowed to call you by your name.” He explained.
I flashed him a weak smile and looked away, waiting for alpha Joshua to show up because we had a lot to discuss.
After waiting for over ten minutes, he came back with a small bag in his hand. ”Apologies for keeping you waiting.” He apologized, while I just nodded my head. He signaled the driver to drive, which he did.
I wanted to talk to him about what his driver said, but I decided to keep it on hold until we are alone.
We arrived at the airport, and we were directed to where the jet was parked. We both entered the jet, sat across each other, and waited for the journey to begin.
Few minutes into the journey, he spoke up, ”Your first time?” He asked, ”Not really. I entered once when I was thirteen.” I responded, referring to the first day I arrived to our pack on dad’s private jet.
”Look, I have something for you.” He said while handing the bag to me. ” What’s in here?” I asked, taking the bag from him. ”Check it out yourself.” He gestured.
I took the bag from his hand, peeped inside it and saw a box inside. Curious, I took out the black box, opened it and was stunned at what I saw. “This is beautiful, are they mine?” I asked, trilled, while staring at the set of sliver jewellery on the box. ”Yes, let me wear it on you.” He unbuckled his seatbelt, stood to his feet and stood behind me. ”Can I?” He asked, while I just gulped and nodded my head.
He took out the necklace from the box and put it on my neck from behind. Furthermore, he took out the earrings, moved my hair aside and wore the earrings on my both ears. He went further, took out the bracelet and put it around my left wrist. ”Now you look like a goddess.” He praised, and placed a kiss on my forehead, sending cold shivers down my spine.
”Thank you.” I thanked him, half in tears. This is what it feels to be treated special by someone. ”Stop overthinking.” He said and went back to his seat. ”We have a party to attend, so cheer up.” He said, while I beamed and looked away, wishing I was blessed to have a mate like him. ”The fact that we are not mate doesn’t mean I can’t care about you.” He said, implying he read my thoughts.
”Stop doing that.” I grumbled, ”What?” He asked, sounding ignorant. ”Reading my thoughts.” I grumbled, and looked away while he chuckled loudly.
