Test week was fast approaching and it took everything in me to not faint at that realization, After the whole events with the multiple men in my life what I needed right now was to concentrate on school work but I seemed to remember that a tad bit late. The days had passed in a blur and this was the second dramaless week in my life in a very long time, that is if you are leaving out the frenzy of preparing for tests, then Yes, it was fairly less hectic than other ones. Lola and I wafted through our busy schedules without seeing so much of each other. I missed her. Over the months our bond grew and strengthened and I couldn't wait for things to be a bit calmer so that I could have more time for her excess talking and wild tendencies. I was going home briefly for a two weeks break after all the tests, maybe that was the only reason I was able to drown out the thoughts of Mac because I hoped to at least see him when I got home (even when I didn't know how) and gauge how badly I had dam

Mac’s family was having a party, they had invited us and somehow this news excited my sisters way more than it excited me. They chatted about how grand it would be and I couldn't blame them for wanting something exciting and out of the norm. They spoke about beautiful I would look and how Mac wouldn't be able control himself and his sight from me and I knew the possibility of that happening eas next to none. I thought if they knew how we left things off the last time we saw, if he had his way, he would probably be demenading for my head right now. Amanda and I shared knowing looks when they said he must have missed me while I was away but even that look meant nothing. We were in different head spaces. I was still in paradise according to Amanda, she didn't know how badly that one date had caused my roommate pain. Speaking of which my roommate as as drama queen that she was had not stopped blowing up my phone with text messages ever since we got here, It was amusing. When I told her

My heart had not stopped pounding since I read the message, My sisters had clapped and laughed all in joy for me, erasing the tension of earlier when he didn't pick up my call. but they knew nothing of the weariness spreading through my bones. Amidst it, a small flutter was growing in my chest, and I tried my best to kill it. I knew how this ended, It only had one way of ending, so why did I hope for something different? I took calming breaths as our vehicle rounded the driveway, and one by one, my sisters got down into the arms of love and paired up with their mates who were already waiting. When my legs hit the ground, I shook a little, maybe from the cold weather, or maybe it was the nerves; I could still feel my heart pounding in my ears. I took a cautious step and greeted the mates of my sisters as they led them inside. I walked to the front of the building where Mac had claimed he would be, and there he was. Just as he said. I was breathless as I stared at him, my legs feeling

Enthralled by the perfect ocean of Luke’s eyes, I stared into them and tried to decipher what his amusement was all about, but before I could attempt to understand it, it was gone along with the ghost of a smile that curved his lips, and I wondered if I had started imagining things. Even though his expression had become hard to read, he stared at me, and it made me feel flushed and hot all over, so I blinked and looked away immediately. I looked over to father and took in his clenched jaw and fist, Not a good sign I looked over to the alpha now speaking, he was trying his best not to look at father, and I wondered if I was overthinking the whole thing or if he really didn't want to make eye contacts with father but why? Why were they all acting like he was a threat to them? What more could a mere chauffeur do? I mean what was the sudden attention given to this and why on this earth was it even necessary? I took another gulp from the glass of water placed in front of me, this night

“ Get your hands off my mate,” Mac growled Wow. His mate? He calls me that now? funny, only when he needed an upper hand did he recognize me. I suddenly felt like the grass upon which two elephants fought. As if reading my mind, Luke responded equally as flabbergasted. “ You call her your mate? You want to claim her now?” Luke sneered shaking his head and staring at the hard face of Mac, an equally murderous look on his face. He took three steps away from me and approached Mac, seeing them this way reminded me of when I saw them hurdled over each other at the back of the club that night, I shook my head. Forcing the train of thought to stop instantly. Not now Luke was obviously taller, and he looked a lot more threatening than Mac right now. They took slow steps toward each other, and it felt like the temperature of the room was slowly rising. but while Luke’s body motion showed he was still aware of my presence in the room, Mac's motion did nothing to show that he was aware of
