In the heart of darkness

36

  They shout at me and I chuckle looking at mum and Ashley laying snoring the world away completely unaware that I was being scolded
 
  "Jezz we were in the other room not another bloody house calm down boys seriously"
 
  I snap at them annoyed that they woke me up
 
  "What even time is it?"
 
  "Too frickin early"
 
  Mum says waking up as dad's March out and start to scold her. I fall into Carter's neck and snuggle up
 
  "Bed now please"
 
  He chuckles carrying me back to bed and getting in and letting me snuggle him.
 
  "When did you fall asleep?"
 
  "What time is it?"
 
  "6"
 
  "About 2 hours ago"
 
  "Cold feet?"
 
  He asks but I smile because I can feel his nerves waiting for my answer
 
  "Toasty warm, just nervous for all the people and stuff"
 
  "Rest now worry later"
 
  I close my eyes and relax in his arms, falling asleep peacefully this time. When I wake up next it's to kissing down my neck. I moan moving my head so he could get at my mark better.
 
  "Happy birthday and happy wedding day"
 
  "Mmmm you too"
 
  He kisses back up my jaw and over my mouth. His tongue prods at my lips so I open them letting him have further access and deepening the kiss.
 
  "Achmmmm I told you to wake her, not maul her"
 
  I growl punching the side of the bed
 
  "Seriously dad go away"
 
  I snap at he chuckles shaking his head
 
  "Never, get your asses up,
  Mums made breakfast and we are waiting for you both to start"
 
  Carter huffs sitting up and pulling me from bed. I was wearing his shirt and shorts, it's what I always where to breakfast but Carter growls
 
  "No put on sweats, there are too many people here"
 
  I growl to sleepy to argue lifting my bottoms and pulling them on. He scoops me up kissing my lips
 
  "Don't be annoyed at me, cains just nervous your going to realise your way to good for us and leave"
 
  I frown looking up at him
 
  "You can't be serious? You don't actually think that do you?"
 
  He shrugs so I pull myself up and I kiss his lips.
 
  "You are everything to us, we love you and we ain't going anywhere, not ever"
 
  "I know, I know. It's just a little nerve wracking is all''
 
  He kisses me softly as he carries us downstairs. I yawn looking to the clock, they had let me sleep in because it was nearly 10am. I don't think I've ever slept to this time before and to be honest I could get use to it because i feel so refreshed. My house is full of people, everyone rushing around making me dizzy.
 
  "Why are they in here?"
 
  I whisper looking around
 
  "They are leaving now, they were just getting supplies"
 
  "Good"
 
  He smirks at me I shrug my shoulders
 
  "What, I like my house to be my house. I don't like all this coming and going"
 
  He carries me to our spot at the table as the last pack member leaves and my family starts to sit down. Luke looks like absolute hell, he has bags under his eyes, his green eyes were dull, his brown hair was a mess. I reach over grabbing his hand and I heal him. He was hungover
 
  "No don't he needs to learn a lesson"
 
  Nana snaps at me I shrug as Luke grins at me
 
  "Thank you favourite niece"
 
  I snort
 
  "Why what did you do?"
 
  "Luke, why don't you tell the table what you did?"
 
  Nan asks him he smirks at me
 
  "I went to the bar and had some fun, chill mum"
 
  "Chill mum? And what about the man that was banging on the damn door at 7am because his daughter never came home! His VIRGIN daughter was no longer a virgin anymore"
 
  Nan slaps him around the back of the head as he grins at us shrugging his shoulders so she hits him again making me laugh
 
  "Your such a hoe! You should wait for your mate and if your going to sleep with someone at least choose someone that has already lost their virginity"
 
  Carter scolds him, I smirk. If I would have ever slept with anyone he would have definitely killed them. He growl making me giggle
 
  "Calm down I didn't"
 
  "I know but I don't like thinking about it or you, iv killed for less Luke you should be careful, you never know who's mate your fucking or what they will do to the people they fuck when they find them"
 
  Mum hands me a huge plate of pancakes and bacon kissing my forehead
 
  "Morning baby girl"
 
  "Morning, did they scold you for long or did they let you go back to sleep?"
 
  "You don't want to know that answer"
 
  Carter tells me cringing, making Luke snort as Ashley comes to the table like a zombie with her hair all over the shop.
 
  "Damn have you ever met a brush?"
 
  She flips Luke the bird as everyone else sits down. Dad looks at the table sadly.
 
  "Today is a special day, one that we will always remember"
 
  He looks sadly at me and Carter
 
  "Today they are getting married, this will probably be the last family breakfast we ever have"
 
  He pouts sadly then continues
 
  "This is the last day my daughter will wake up a virgin"
 
  My face falls as the entire table cracks up
 
  "Piss off all of you or I'll go do the deed right now"
 
  They chuckle as I dig into my food moaning as I eat. My guards arrive after looking dapper in black suits. After that the hair stylist arrives and mum breaks out the champagne and makes the boys leave.
 
  Leaving behind Archie's mate Jane, she was a beautiful little thing. She was the same age as Archie, just 16. She had beautiful long blonde hair with piercing blue eyes, she was around my height and so quiet so mum gave her extra alcohol and I offered her a joint to loosen up a little.
 
  Lexi arrived with Fay and Ella soon after that, mum made Arden and the guards wait in my house because the house was a lady zone and she wanted to make the morning special and it was. It was nice to have all the women who have helped to raise me over the years together to help me get ready for my big day.
 
  "You look super nervous"
 
  I tell Jane as Lexi takes a joint and lights it up, we were sitting out the back as Ella come to join us
 
  "I am, you have a big family I'm not use to so many people"
 
  I nod lighting up my smoke
 
  "Yeah it can be intimidating but I promise everyone is super nice and really happy you are here with us. How's it being mated?"
 
  Ella asks her sitting beside me on the daybed and throwing her legs over Lexi's knee where she sat at the bottom
 
  "It's good, it's different and my parents were so mad that we didn't wait but I knew they would stop me and after I heard about the curse I couldn't hold back"
 
  "I find werewolf packs so weird. I don't get this whole waiting thing. When you're a Lycan you meet your mate you mark them then you wait. Maybe it's because Lycan mates for life and you guys have other options but I don't know I just find it strange"
 
  Lexi says before She downs most of her drink lifting the bottle and refilling it
 
  "Is that what you did with your mate?"
 
  Zoe asks her, she smiles sadly shaking her head
 
  "Nah I haven't found him yet but that's ok"
 
  "What about you?"
 
  She asks Ella, Ella smiles
 
  "I've seen my mate in the future but I haven't met him. I don't know when I will but I think it will be soon"
 
  "Why?"
 
  Lexi questions
 
  "Because the future shows me having a baby boy and I wasn't much older then I am now and my mate was there, I think it's going to be soon"
 
  I clap my hands together excitedly, she hadn't told me that but we never talk much about future visions because they change all the time unless they are a banshee vision. They are set in stone but I'm not banshee so I don't have those visions but Carter and Ella are both Banshee and hellhound.
 
  "Oh I can't wait, I'm surprised you have a baby so soon I always thought you would wait"
