All Chapters of Maliyah's Mates (The Silver Dragon Series Book 4): Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Maliyah“Good morning sweetheart,” says dad. “Morning dad, morning mom.”“Good morning darling,” mom replies.“Good morning beautiful,” says Aspen as he kisses my cheek. He is always very respectful in front of my parents and is big on PDA in front of them. I take a moment and stare at my boyfriend. He is as handsome as ever with his blonde hair, that almost appears white, and bright blue eyes. He is way taller than me at six foot three and very athletic like a runner. “Good morning Aspen,” I reply with a smile. Terra and I are sure he is our mate. “Do you have any plans today?”I look towards my parents who shake their head no, making me smile bigger.“Nope, what do you have planned?”“It’s a surprise. With your parents permission, I’d like to take you to the elf realm for a surprise.”“I’m fine with that as long as you are back by Sunday. We too have a surprise for you,” mom replies. “Deal!”Miss Kat is the best. She has cooked some of my favorites this morning. Belgium waffles

MaliyahI wake up feeling amazing. I am glad I have saved myself for this moment. We may not have actually had sex but it was still perfect. He is perfect. I couldn’t ask for a better mate. I know I am jumping the gun, but we’ve been dating since I turned fifteen and I am sure he is my mate. I look up at the handsome elf next to me and can’t believe how lucky I am to have him in my life. “It’s creepy to stare at someone while they sleep you know.”I can’t help but giggle. Aspen opens one of his eyes and smiles at me. I let out a squeal as he rolls on top of me and that is when I realize I am still naked. I suddenly become self conscious and try to hid my ugly scar that is on my body. “You are beautiful. Don’t ever think otherwise.” He leans down for a gentle kiss that is over sooner than I’d like. “I need to get you home. You promised to go riding with your siblings today.”“I’d rather stay in bed with you all day.” Aspen let’s out a light chuckle.“I would like nothing more beau

Maliyah I still have two more weeks until school starts and today mom and dad said they want to give me a surprise. They were suppose to when I returned from my date with Aspen but with what has happened they’ve been busy trying to track whoever has been watching me. “Hey sweetheart. You ready for your surprise,” asks dad as he gives me a hug.“I’ve been ready.”“Alright let’s get in the truck, your mother is waiting for us.”I give dad a quizzical look as I follow him out the door.“Where are we going,” I ask.“You’ll see,” says mom as dad begins to drive out of the pack territory. I watch the trees go by as we continue into the human town and pull up to Ortiz’s Place.“We getting something to eat first?”

MaliyahMy alarm goes off annoyingly early. I shut it off and groan as I force myself out of bed. I head to the bathroom to wash my face and brush my teeth. I get dressed in shorts, a simple white tee shirt, black tennis shoes and throw my hair up in a pony tail before heading downstairs. I first make a pot of coffee, knowing myself and the other morning staff are going to want some. I go through my checklist to ensure everything that should’ve been done last night actually got done. I put away the dishes that got wash last night and turn on the grill so it’s all warmed up by the time the cook gets here. I look at my watch and see I have a good forty-five minutes until we open so I grab a cup of coffee as I hear the Sysco truck pull up out back. “Good morning Darryl.”“Morni

Maliyah Since I know Aspen will not be returning anytime soon, I head downstairs to the restaurant and decide to help out. It’s actually a pretty busy night so I know having an extra set of hands will keep things running smoothly.“Hey River, how are Summer and Katherine doing?”“Summer has a cold unfortunately so Katherine is home with her.”“Poor thing. Go home, I’ll lock up tonight.”“Are you sure?”“I’m sure. We only have a few customers left. I can handle it.”“Thanks Maliyah. See you later.”River gives me a quick hug before leaving. A few of the other waitresses we have are college students so I decide to send them home so they can go study for some exam they have coming up, leaving me and our cook, Hank, left.We have about forty-five minutes left and just when we think that we can close early, I hear the doorb
