Chapter 11~The expected Wedding Announcement

~ARIELLA~

"She'll come around," my inner wolf, Ariel, said as I felt some connection between myself and Jaden.

How?

We never bonded.

We didn't consummate our relationship, neither did we ever kiss or share a mate bond connection. So, how did Ariel do that?

I had quickly disconnected the mind link when I heard his voice. I could have sworn he was very shocked, more than I had imagined. How could he not be when this suddenly happened?

"Ariel, what have you done?" I reprimanded my wolf angrily. "Why did you connect through the mind link and eavesdrop on their conversation?"

How did she even do that? We've never connected freely with anyone, not even with our first mate.

I expected Ariel to be reasonable, but she only spat out angrily.

"She's mean and unhinged," Ariel rolled her eyes sarcastically. "Leo wanted us to connect. She wanted to speak to us. I had no choice," she added grumpily, without any form of guilt.

"Besides, his wolf wanted us. I don't know why he's building a barrier against himself. See the way he looked at us?" Ariel complained bitterly.

"Respect his privacy. You already made me agree to be his contracted Luna and mate. You shouldn't make things more difficult for us," I half-yelled in my head.

Ariel is crazy. She always wants to get whatever she wants, and that includes doing whatever she wants, including mind linking and connecting with his wolf.

He may feel we are desperate to have him. As much as I liked him and desired him, I would rather not sound desperate to have him.

I wanted him to build this relationship by himself, not the other way around, and Ariel doesn't want to reason and comply with me.

I am sure she's very much desperate. A horny wolf needs to be fucked, but that doesn't mean she's at his mercy.

So, I have to warn her against foul behavior.

"He's our mate. He'll come around when he's ready. You don't have to make things hard for us. Remember, the human counterpart still needs consent," I told her, and she rolled her eyes.

"Yeah, I guess that's why you both are dick-headed," she responded angrily and rolled her eyes dramatically at me.

"The human counterpart should do 70% of the work, but this time, I am the one doing it," she spat out agitatedly.

She's really pissed and frustrated, I could tell.

"That's because you are desperate to have him," I rephrased her words, and she shut me out immediately.

I welcomed the cold serenity of the atmosphere once again.

This place is beautiful. I couldn't believe I was close to him. I was hurt when he prepared a separate room for me, but from his perspective, I was becoming happier since I felt at peace and comfortable.

But my joy was soon cut short the moment his sister's words flashed through my mind.

The fact that she called me a slut caused sadness to erupt in my mind, but I shook it off immediately when I heard how he had defended me.

Never thought someone would stand up for me. But I guess he's always on my side.

The thought of it caused my stomach to shiver with excitement.

I was still admiring the room peacefully, still marveling at how everything in this room, including the decor, played out.

His picture was framed and positioned near every bed.

He's sexy, enticing, and enchanting.

I couldn't get enough of him.

I got aroused whenever I looked at his picture. How could he be this awesome?

A few minutes later, I realized I'd been staring at him all day, and I was getting bored. So, I decided to step out.

I needed some fresh air outside the room, and I wanted to admire everything because this pack was thrice bigger than my pack.

I didn't expect the Sparrow Pack to be this big. Despite everything I'd heard about them, I never thought it was this big.

I walked down the narrow stairs until I got out of the building and was welcomed by a small garden.

I didn't know how I got there, but I didn't hesitate to move further while staring amazingly at every decor.

They were beautiful. My joy was soon cut short when I bumped into someone. Her scent was very familiar.

"I am sorry," I apologized immediately, even before I took a glance at her.

Her furious eyes matched mine. I wanted to look away, but I remembered Jaden's words.

"Watch where you are going, slut," Linda yelled.

"Didn't mean to bump into you."

"But you did, you low-life slave omega," she half-yelled.

Her voice echoed through the garden.

"It was an honest mistake, and I am sorry," I apologized.

"Of course, a low-life slut and..."

"You shouldn't be speaking to your Luna in that form," Jaden cut her short.

We both turned to look at who was behind us, and I was captivated and fascinated when I saw him.

He was standing elegantly behind us, and his eyes were glaring at us. They read total coldness, and yet it caused me to shiver.

How could I be this wet just by staring at him?

I wanted him. My body always craved him when I saw him.

"Apologize, now. She's your Luna," his cold voice commanded.

Linda had wanted to complain.

"Now, Linda," he added before she could digest the first one.

"I am sorry, Luna," she spat out before she ran off angrily.

"You shouldn't let her talk to you like that! Linda can be dramatic, but you are the Luna," he said.

I watched him walk close to me with his shadow and presence overpowering everyone, including the guards behind him. He didn't stop when he got close to me, he just passed and commanded me to follow him.

"I need you in my room, there's something you need to know."

When he said that, I was scared.

I felt my feet trembling and moving at their own will as my body shook vigorously. Maybe he's angry because of what Ariel did earlier, and he wants to spell everything out, and the fact that I am nothing but his contracted Luna.

"Here, your engagement ring," he said the moment I walked into the room, he offered.

At first, I was shocked because I wasn't expecting an engagement ring. He didn't plan this with me, so why did he shove this at me? Shouldn't an engagement be done by proposal?

"Don't expect any proposal, this is nothing but a contract relationship," he made it clear immediately.

My stomach churned and twisted at his reminder, and I nodded before grabbing the engagement ring and shoving it down my finger.

"You should be ready, we are getting married tomorrow. I thought I should let you know," he said.

What!

Getting married?
