By the time I got back home from Kiara’s place, it was already evening. When I got to my house, I saw a black sleek car parked outside my house.
“Rolan,” I thought to myself as I hastened my footsteps and rushed down to the house.
I opened the door breathlessly, having broken into a run in an attempt to get into the house faster. I looked up after catching my breath to stare at Rolan and my father, sitting together and staring right back at me.
“Is everything okay?” Rolan asked me and walked to my side. I saw my father give my mom a knowing glance, and she smiled at him.
“I am fine, Rolan. What are you doing here?” I asked him, wondering why on earth he chose to come back to a house that my father had thrown a fit in because of him earlier.
“I came to speak to your parents. I want to take you to white moon pack with me. I want you to be my Luna, Pandora.” He said to me boldly not minding the presence of my parents.
I glanced at my parents’ faces behind him to see their countenance and was surprised when they both looked okay with what Rolan just said.
“Hmmm” I stuttered.
“I’ll need to discuss this with my parents. I’ll give you my answer to your request tomorrow.” I said, trying to diffuse the embarrassment and tension that was slowly building up in me.
He bent over to kiss me and I almost passed out from embarrassment. I swatted his lips playfully and pushed his face away from mine.
He chuckled and touched my face gently.
“Goodnight Mr. and Mrs. Miller, I really do hope I get a favorable response tomorrow. Thank you. Can Pandora walk me to my car, please?” He asked courteously.
“Yes, please. Pandora, hand me your bag and quickly see your guest out.” My mom quickly suggested, and before I even attempted to move, she was beside me already, and removing the satchel I hung across my body.
She pushed me to Rolan’s side and smiled cheekily. My father did not say anything and his face remained indifferent as he studied us carefully.
As soon as I stepped out of the house, Rolan caught my wrist, twirled me around, and kissed me deeply. I was resisting him at first but then, the masterful sweeping of his tongue in my mouth made me lose my train of thought and I totally forgot that I was supposed to be resisting him.
He steadied me on my feet after kissing me and laughed. I knew immediately that my cheeks must have turned blood-red from embarrassment.
“You don’t get to do that without my approval Rolan,” I said, pretending to be offended.
“You are just shy. I kissed you in front of your parent’s house after all. When I come back tomorrow, I will do the kissing in front of them.” He teased me and tried to peck me.
I dodged his lips and ran to his car. I heard his throaty laughter, and it drew a certain happiness from deep within me that I was not even aware I was capable of feeling ever again.
“Next time you run away from me, I’ll triple whatever I wanted to do and do it to you. I am letting you off this time. I won’t be so merciful from tomorrow” he playfully threatened and I started laughing.
“You think I’m joking?” He asked me and I playfully punched him on his shoulders.
He faked being hurt and without warning suddenly leaped for me. I dodged him again and he clapped.
“Pretty fast for someone who is supposed to be an Omega.” He said and gave me a thumbs up.
I scoffed, disregarding his compliment. I did not think I had done anything special, and anyone could have avoided his attack a second away.
“What did you come to say to my Father?” I asked him, genuinely curious as to what he said to my father who made him calm down to listen to him.
“I didn’t say anything you don’t already know” he answered and drew me close to his chest.
His scent hit me immediately, and I looked at his handsome face. Even though I had wanted Derrick, having Rolan’s full attention was emotionally uplifting for me.
I loved the way he made me feel like an equal, and ending up with him does not seem like such a bad idea. I made up my mind to agree to his marriage proposal.
“What do I know, Rolan?” I teased.
“Well, since you want to hear it, I will indulge you. I told your father how I really felt about you and how I wanted to spend the rest of my life with you as we cannot do without each other anymore.” He explained gently to me.
I felt my heart melt, and suddenly, I could feel my wolf coming alive and panting. I tried to understand what was happening until I looked at Rolan and saw how his eyes suddenly darkened and he growled.
“Mate,” we both said at the same time and he immediately claimed my lips again. By the time he drew away from me, we were both out of breath.
“I think we will need to go back inside and inform your parents of the recent development. I don’t think there should be any more objections from both parties.” He said and led me back inside.
My parents were surprised to see us both inside again.
“What did you do to her?” My father growled, baring his claws and walking towards Rolan.
“He is my mate, father,” I screamed before Rolan got hurt by my father.
My father paused in his tracks and looked at me like I had suddenly grown two heads.
“How? Just yesterday, you got rejected by Derrick, and today, you have been mated to someone else?” My father asked, eyeing the two of us suspiciously.
“Please, darling, sit down and let us all talk about this. Give the children room to explain what has happened” my mother said to my father and I begged the moon goddess to make the conversation less hard than it currently was.
