Happily ever never

I woke up to him.

I woke up the next morning scared and nervous. Scared because my mate was shirtless sleeping next to me. Nervous because I don't know what he did with me. I really hope nothing bad, I really don't want to get pregnant.

His arm was very heavy and it felt like it was choking me, or that's what it felt like. I tried to move his arm but it didn't work, I tried moving out of his arm but he only tightened his grip. I was trying one last thing which was to switch myself with a pillow, and so far it wasn't working.

"Stop moving little mate and let me sleep." He muttered opening one eye to look at me.

"Can you let me go?" I ask setting the pillow down.

"No." He stated gripping me tighter and closing his eye.

I sighed and just let him go to sleep, my arms were free and I had nothing to do. Well his phone was right on my nightstand maybe he has some games. I reached over and turned it on, I swiped it but it needed a password or a fingerprint. I grabbed his hand putting his thumb onto the little button. It opened up and I set his hand back down, he seriously had no games? I went into the App store and was scrolling through when he took the phone out of my hands.

I looked over and he was giving me a dirty look. "What were you doing?" He asked locking the phone, leaning over me to set it back on the nightstand. 

"I was bored, and I wanted to see if you had any games." I whispered looking up him.

He stared at me for a second than smirked, he got out of the bed stretching. I watched as his back muscles became more noticeable and very sexy. He glance over at me and winked, I blushed turning away from him.

"I'm going to shower." He said walking over to my bathroom, but he paused at the door. "Want to join?"

I shook my head, hiding under the covers. I heard him chuckle and the door closing, I lifted my head up and he was gone. I should probably change while I still have the chance, I got out bed walking into my closet. I pulled on a pair of denim shorts and a grey V-neck, I paired it with a pair of white sneakers and pulled my hair into a ponytail. I walked over and listened hearing that he was still in the shower, I sat down at my vanity pulling some makeup out. I was almost finished when Carter stepped out of the bathroom, shirtless with a towel wrapped out his waist. I really wanted to lick those water droplets off of his chest.

Wait what?!

"What are you doing?" He asked walking over to me.

I snapped out of my trance and went back to do my makeup. "Just putting some makeup on." I muttered trying not to look at him.

He leaned down and kissed my head making me blush, he went over to my dresser and opened a drawer. And to my surprise there was his clothes right there in an empty drawer or so I thought. I looked away when he started to change, I finished my makeup turning around hoping he was changed and thankfully he was.

"What are we doing today?" I asked watching as he started to type quickly on his phone.

"First breakfast with your family and my men, than I was thinking we could go for a walk get to know each other." He said glancing up at me, giving me a half smile.

I nodded my head standing up, he grabbed my hand and we walked out of my room. I wanted to let go of his hand but I knew he would get mad at me. When we walked into the dinning room everything got quiet and I got scared. I sorta hid myself behind him, and he seemed to notice what I did because he pulled me to his side so everybody could see me.

My stepmother gasped at the sight of me and I looked down thinking I looked bad.

"She can see your mark." Carter whispered into my ear making it tickle.

I looked up at him and he had a proud look on his face as he pulled me towards the table, I didn't realize till now but I was starving. Like I could eat two horses right now, when the lady set my food down I just went to town on it. It tasted so good I felt like screaming to the heavens that I was happy to eat.

"Aria." My father said making me turn away from my food.

"Yes?"

"You will be going to King Alpha Carter's home soon, so I think we should have a talk." He said glancing over to Carter as if he was going to jump across the table.

"Of course." I said turning back to my food.

Carter growled but didn't say anything, there was not much talk until my idiot step mother opened her mother. I was just so happening to be drinking water when she started to ask a question I didn't want to hear. 

"When is the wedding." She asked happily.

And I did a spit take onto Beta James, I coughed trying to get the water out of the wrong pipe. Carter tapped my back trying to help me, and while doing that answering my step mother.

"I have to propose first."

Before he said that I thought maybe water will help get rid of water and Beta James ended up getting more water on him.

I stood up coughing a little bit. "Will you excuse me." I muttered storming towards the door and past my room. I went down the stairs almost to the kitchen when I stopped and slumped against the wall sliding down letting the tears out. Why me out of all the people in the world? Why did it have to be me? I missed my mom and I haven't heard from her. I miss my old life with my old friends where I wasn't worried about getting married or anything like that.

I just sat there and let myself cry, "Aria are you okay?" Carter asked from the top of the stairs.

I stood up and wiped my eyes putting on a fake smile, going up the stairs. "Yeah I'm fine. Ready to go for that walk?"

I was about to walk past him but he stopped me, "Are you sure you're okay?" 

"Yeah I'm fine."

But inside I wasn't.
