My Cruel Mate novel Chapter 15

The dinner was delightful and Arya is such a beautiful soul, they have been in the pack for two days already and had to leave tomorrow morning because they can't leave their kids for too long with the nannies. After 10 pm, Princess Arya suggested we go to a club, and we all agreed. I don't like drinking because I'm an easy drunk and I didn't want to kill the vibe. We got in the car and went to a nearby drinking place that Arya suggested

" You and your ratchet places," My mate said, frowning at the building. It was a huge club with different lights hovering over us.

" They are so much fun!" She screamed, pulling me to the bar. The bartender winked and give us shots on the house because we were pretty. I grimaced as I gulped it but Arya frowned

" We didn't make a toast, you finally tied my cousin down," She winked, oh... If only she knew. The bartender gave us more and we toasted and this time, we drank the same time. The men finally joined us and it was a full party, I was drinking my favorite cocktail, poison ivy while Arya and the men took tequila shots.

" Okay, Okay, I'd like to make a toast again," Arya started, staggering a bit but her mate caught her in his arms.

" I want to toast to my favorite cousin, thank you for having us, goddess knows we needed this with the new babies and all," She smiles at me " And Caliana, you are the coolest and best girl ever, and I hope to see you soon but this time, we shall host you.. so here's to LIFE AND LOVE!" She shouted and we all clicked glasses and drank our beverages. At this moment, we were happy, all of us and for the first time, my mate looked at me like a mate should, he pulled me closer to him and kissed my shoulder. I don't know if it's the alcohol that was making him so touchy but I didn't care, I just loved this, us. I was slowly moving my body to the music that was playing and his hands were on my waist. Arya and Jacob went to the dancefloor to dance, Alpha Edward spun me around and buried his face in the crook of my neck, inhaling my scent.

By the time we decided to leave the club, I could barely open my eyes and walk straight, so my alpha carried me to the car.

" You are drunk," He said, amused. I was drunk, so whatever I do or say will get a pass. I smirked and straddled him, looking him in the eyes.

" Why do you hate me, Alpha?" He was quiet, he raised his hand to caress my cheek softly, and tingles erupted on my skin. I closed my eyes, leaning into his huge warm hand.

" I can't be with you... In the way women want,"

" What is it that women want?" I ask softly.

" Love... affection they can take advantage of,"

I raised my eyebrows, It didn't make sense to my drunk mind, why would one take advantage of love? His love.

" But I'm your mate,"

" Please don't say that," He snapped and I almost got off him but he held me down. I slowly reached his lips to kiss him, I thought he would move away but he didn't. We shared a kiss that was kind and passionate.

" Then why did you marry me," I question, out of breath after our make-out.

" I didn't want to!"

" Oh,"

" Your family was scared that we wouldn't give them the money they need so they put it in the contract and my brother told me it was a good idea, just in case," He confessed without flinching. ' I didn't want to,' Those words rang in my head and tears filled my gaze but I couldn't cry, not when we were this close and in this position.
