CHAPTER 6

Darius' POV

I woke up expecting my mate's face to be right infront of me and my hands to be around her, imagine my disappointment when her side of the bed was cold, meaning she left a while back.

My alpha protective side came out and I was angry, I was about to go out to see where she is when I found MY mate hugging Lucas! To say I was pissed would be an understatement, I am furious. I decided to avoid her cheating lying ass and find my best friends. Me, Logan and Pete hung out for a while.

"How is your mate by the way?", Logan asked raising a suggestive brow.

I growled, "She is just fantastic! In fact she is so fantastic that she is already cheating on me!"

Peter and Logan exchanged confused looks, and then looked at me in a questioning manner.

"I saw her and that Lucas guy hugging this morning, they were too close for my comfort in fact he was so close to touching her butt and she didn't seem to mind.", I grumbled.

Peter looked at me with disbelief and Logan wore a look of discomfort too.

"She wouldn't do that man! She screams loyalty and trust!", Peter said.

I glared at him, "so much for loyalty and trust , besides I am pretty sure she just wants to prove a point, just because I wasn't loyal to her, she is just going to rub it in my face, I don't really care anymore either!"

"I need to get going right now guys!", Logan said and ran off to god knows where!

"Dude give her a chance to explain, and work off the steam before you talk to her", Peter advised and I nodded, maybe she wasn't cheating on me and I was too quick to judge.

Just then a knock sounded on the door and Sebastian walked in.

"G'day G'day m'lads", He wished and I nodded.

He seemed a little sad that my response was so short and icy but I was not in the mood for this right now so fuck it.

"I was to give the Royal Family a tour of the mansion, of course since I have unavoidable business I am going to have to ask Jac to accompany you all on the tour", He explained

"Is she going to bring her little boyfriend?", I retorted before I could stop myself. Pete nudged me in the ribs and nodded at Sebastian.

"Just listen to her side of the story would you?!", He persisted

We then followed sebastian to the training center, I mind-linked Logan to meet us there and so he did.

"Hey Captain! How's the mansion tour going?", Jacqueline asked with the most adorable smile showing off her dimple, I may be a cold-hearted alpha but my heart just became a puddle and somehow I don't even mind it.

"Mansion tour? ", Logan questioned with a look of confusion

"Yea?", Jacqueline said in a 'duh' tone with a confused look herself, god damn she makes me want to kiss the life out of her with those furrowed eyebrows and scruntched up nose.

I kind of spaced out on the rest of the conversation between Jacqueline and Sebastian because this girl is driving me nuts! And I love every second of it and I don't even know why!

And so began the god awful tour as my parents joined us alongside Natalie and Isabelle, why was it awful? Because I am walking behind Jaculine and, my parents don't know she is my mate, and her ass looks really good in her yoga pants, and I can't freaking touch it, so my already sour mood dampened more.

She explained the several stories attatched to the walls and portraits including the ones that 'The Fate' painted.

"Jay Jay!!", we heard a little voice squeak.

We turned around to face a little boy about Isabelle's age smiling at my mate. He had deep brown eyes and caramel brown hair. Jacqueline faced him and her lips fell into yet another one of those full blown smiles of hers, he ran to her and she caught him midway his little strides.

"Hey pumpkin, what trouble are you mixing up today?", she asked in an adorable baby voice, what the fuck is she doing to me?

"Don't tell anyone, but I may have added that green dye to Aunt Valerie's shampoo, just like you asked me to", he whispered.

Jacqueline laughed a light laugh and then nodded at him, "Did you add the right amount for it to turn bright green?", she asked.

He shook his moppy caramel haired head and the both of them giggled.

"Now go hide", she said in a shushed tone and left him on his feet again.

She then looked back at us and realized we heard all of that, her face reddened again and she looked at her feet, "I don't spoil children I swear!", she said abruptly.

Everyone burst into laughter and I cracked a smile of my own, she looked at me with an adorning look on her face and that was my last string, I pulled her towards me by her waist and put my lips on hers. I don't really know what my parent's reaction was but I could hardly care or concentrate with her chaste lips on mine. The anger I had long forgotten along with the ucas bitch. She was hesitant at first which made me kiss her harder, she must've sensed my desperacy because her hands travelled to the back of my neck and my grip on her lower back tightened, our lips moved in sync as I lightly bit down on her bottom lip. She smiled into the kiss and just when I thought I was going to be in complete and utter satisfaction and bliss with this woman in our own world... I heard a screeching sound, much like nails on a chalkboard.

I broke our kiss just in time to see Natalie's retreating figure, then I faced my parents, my dad for the first time in my whole life looked proud of me! Not even when I gained the title did he look this proud. My mom's face had lit up with a certain glow that I couldn't place a word for. Isabelle just covered her eyes as though this was unholy.Logan and Peter, were well, Logan and Peter. They were smirking at me with playful smiles.

"I know you guys probably think this is out of the blue and sudden but, meet my mate, Jacqueline.", I introduced her as my mate to them for the first time. Peter and Logan bowed their heads in submission.

I looked over at my mate to see her blushing face, biting her lip and I used the pad of my thumb to make her stop doing that because I really don't want to give my parents a live porn show of their future daughter-in-law and son. When she smiled at me, I realised I was fucked, in all the worst ways possible, I now had a weakness, my mate. And although I should be mad about it, I could hardly care about any of that, all I knew is that if I don't have this woman for the rest of my life, I will go mad! Totally and utterly mad! If I didn't hold her forever in my arms as her scent invaded my thoughts, I would become a beast, thirsty for her. I would let her destroy me, kill me with a smile on my face, I would do anything for her. And the worst part? I don't hate her for making me feel this way.
