My Beloved Mate

Filler

"Two days?! Why that short amount of time?" Octavia was bewildered.

"He can't stand the thought of being away from me for more than a minute. His words not mine." Anastasia was smiling remembering his voice has he said those words.

"That's actually pretty romantic I'm not gonna lie. How long have you been with him?" Octavia asked.

"Two months." Octavia's jaw dropped. "I know I know, that's a long time. I was planning to come back after the fashion week, but then I met him. And I didn't want to leave him when I just found him. I was really only going to stay with him for about a month but he.. persuaded me to stay longer." Anastasia blushed at the end.

"And please enlighten me on how he persuaded you?" Octavia was smirking.

"Let's just say what happens in London stays in London unless there's wine involved." Both of the girls started laughing after Anastasia's answer and it made her remember all the good and fun times they had in her room. From sneaking out of her window and climbing down the thick vine to go to a party, to laying on her bed at 3am talking about the most random things.

Their laughter was cut short by a knock on the door.

"Yes?" The girls both answered. They looked at each other then giggling more.

Anastasia's mother opened the door and walked in. "Anastasia I would like for you to come downstairs and come visit the pack."

Anastasia groaned and laid back on the bed which made Octavia laugh. "But mom I just got back. I want to sleep!"

"Well then I'll tell Perizada that you would rather be up in your room than talking to her." Alina knew what to say to her daughter to make her do anything. Not being disappointed Anastasia shot up.

"Wait Peri is here?"

Alina nodded. "And she can't stay that long too. She wants to see you before she goes back to her realm."

Anastasia ran out of the room as fast as she can and headed to the ballroom.

"Is she really there, Luna?" Octavia asked.

Alina shook her head. "She's gonna kill me." They both laughed and headed downstairs.

"Have you seen Peri? Is Peri here?" Anastasia was asking left and right in hopes of locating her childhood friend.

"You know Peri?" A small voice spoke behind her. Anastasia turned around to face a fairly short girl.

"Who are you?" Anastasia asked.

"I'm Sally. And this is Jen and Jacque." She pointed to an auburn-haired and a blond girl.

"Happy Birthday Sally." Sally smiled. Anastasia looked at Jen's mark on her collarbone and froze.

"Whatcha looking at chick?" Jen sounded a little annoyed, curious because she wondered why Decebel would know so much about Anastasia.

"You're mated to Decebel?" Anastasia asked, still in shock.

"Yep. And we plan to be together until our last breath. Just incase you get any ideas." Jen declared.

"Dude Jen, not cool." Jacque piped in. Jen rolled her eyes. "Might as well say it before it's too late" she retorted.

Sally, the peacemaker was trying to make sure there would be no brawl at her party.

"What she meant to say is that she wants everyone to know her undying love of Decebel." Sally added.

"That's great and all, but I really need to find Peri." Anastasia was looking all around to find her dear friend.

"She isn't here dude." Jen replied. Anastasia whipped her head to Jen.

"But my mom said- ugh god dammit." Anastasia walked away and went to the long aisle of food. As soon as she walked away Decebel came behind Jen and put his hands on her waist.

"What's with her?" Jacque asked. The three girls and Decebel looked at Anastasia who was looking off into nowhere with a focused expression on her face.

Decebel was staring at Anastasia intently trying to decode her facial expression. Jen was slightly jealous but it quickly faded when Decebel answered.

"She's found her mate."
