***21: MARK ME

Song: Watch-Billie Eilish

 

                       *MARK ME*

"Your so beautiful, darling." Lady Karen said. Her face lighting up. She has the beautifulest green eyes I've ever seen. "Thank you." I blushed, my cheeks turning hot.

Silence filled the room again, it wasn't an awkward silence but the peaceful one. Soft musical instruments was playing and as we sat at the living area, I started to feel the homey feeling.

Satisfied with the new people keeping me company. "You and my brother are so cute together, you both make a perfect match." Daphné squirrels. Making me look away from the floor to her.

She layed on the couch, legs pulped on the table in front of her. Stéphanie rolls her eyes. "Of course they will..." She shook her head. "The moon goddess only pares the perfect match for you." Stating the obvious.

Lady Karen laughs at the amused look I give the girls. They might be a year older-that I found out a few hours back- but act so childish. "They never stop their mouths." Lady Karen says. Her smile directed to them both.

"Yeah." I smiled. Lady Karen looks at me for too long making me a little nervous, her eyes staring into my soul.  Those green pools watching me carefully.

Me on the other hand look around awkwardly. The uneasy feeling settling in me. And that's when I wish Alberto didn't go to the office with his father to discuss 'businesse' as he put it.

Lady Karen. Thé sweet, lovely, light hearted and soft person suddenly gone as she says. "I need you to be serious Lennabelle." Her tone was seriously and warning like, making me uncomfortable and worried about what she meant with that.

She stared me down and I didn't even know if I could stand her look anymore. What was she talking about? "Excuse me Lady Karen, but I don't get what you mean." My voice was a whisper. Every inch of my body feeling uncomfortable.

"I don't mean anything Lennabelle, nothing. Just don't run away." Was it wrong to say that I didn't like the way she said it. Almost threatening and blaming me for causing any problems, did I do something wrong? Yes. But do I have to feel bad about what I did even if I had a purpose ? No.

"Oh." I whispered, my head suddenly aching. "I'm sorry." I said, eyes looking straight at her. The feeling was neutral, I didn't want my mates mom hating me.

She looked at me with those same warning eyes, not wavering. Her body fully equipped my way. I swallow. Maybe I was wrong and she already hates me. "Mom! Don't scare her!" Stephenie shouts, pouting at her mom. "Yes mommy, that's rude!" Daphné piped in.

I turn back to look and find Lady Karen smiling. All the warning and seriousness gone form her eyes. She laughed lightly. "I was just messing with you, darling." She held my hands then let go to quick. Like holding me disturbed her. My wolf was sad, feeling and thinking our mates mother might hate us.

I looked at her with and made sure I held no expression on. "Oh." I seem to keep saying. Silence filled the room once again, but this time it was a awkward one. "So why didn't you and Alberto mate yet?" Turning my head, Daphné had a questioning look. Her hands curled together.

Why didn't we mate, I have no clue. But I wasn't ready. Maybe I was..I don't know at all.

"Um. I. We..." What do I say to that? "We are getting to know each other before-"

"His a king and has less control. You shouldn't stop him. It's your duty as a mate to submit to him." Lady Karen looks at me in suprise, cutting me off guard.
