Carlisle and Esme's Imprint

Chapter 118

-Few days later- New Year's Eve-
-Aiyana-

"This tradition is so tedious" Muffin complained.

I giggle. "Muffin it's exciting, bringing in a new year" I sighed happy.

"Yeah Just because you're old enough to personally know the dinosaurs doesn't mean we can't celebrate a new year" Jacob says rolling his eyes.

You can hear Teddy howl in laughter from the attic.

"Another reason why animals should stay a food source instead of house pets" Muffin spat. Jacob growled.

I giggled and wrapped my arms around his waist, mainly to keep him from breaking Jacob's neck.

I welcomed my friends over to my house to celebrate bringing in the New Year with us and they happily obliged.

The entire downstairs sounded so happy and filled with energy. I can practically see Rosie gushing over Ariya.

I sighed as I stared at myself in the mirror. I took the old bandage off my neck. Seeing the slightly swollen flesh. "At least the swelling is going down" I muttered happily, I hummed as I cleaned the wounds and replaced the bandage.

"I could've cleaned and replaced it for you, Princess" I heard from the bathroom doorway, causing me to jump in fright.

I smiled at Daddy. "No it's okay Daddy, I got it" I giggled grabbed onto his hand, feeling him slightly tense up at me doing so.

I frowned slightly and let his hand go.

"L-Let's go celebrate with everyone, Daddy" I smiled before walking past him, heart hurting.

'Maybe some distance will be good for us' I thought as I stood on the stairs looking at all my family and friends having fun.

I smiled, I loved seeing everyone so happy, It made me happy.

"Yoo!! Aiyana come play UNO with us" Yomo yelled. I immediately shook my head.

"Last time we played UNO, you flipped the table" I said with a giggle. He sheepishly rubbed his neck.

I went and sat in front of the fireplace in the den, little ways away from the festivities that were in the living room . I took in the warmth from the dancing flames.

"Hey Mistress what's wrong?" Augustus asked plopping down beside me.

"Nothing really just feeling a little down" I sighed.

"Will a hug make you feel better?" He grinned.

"Always" I giggled and he gently took me into his arms.

I don't know why but my eyes began to water and soon tears ran down my face. I buried my head into his shoulder.

"There you go ,Mistress let it all out" He said softly hugging me tighter, rubbing my back.

"Everything will be okay Mistress" He muttered.
