Chapter 30: Chapter 30

Chris.

"Congratulations man." Max greeted.

"Thanks." I replied raising my glass to him which he reciprocated before moving away. I turned my head to look for Isabelle spotting her amongst some girls in the pack.

Hn, I guess it's good if she has some kind of relationship with the femalss apart from Dolores and Elena. I was almost turning my head when I saw her laugh at something.

Her laugh like always was beautiful with the way she threw her head back and laughed her heart out. There was nothing that wasn't genuine about her.

"Chris are you even listening?"

God she looked so beautiful. I saw her shake her head drinking from a cup in her hand.

Hold on, who gave her the drink?

"Oh leave him. He's looking at his mate and Luna. He looks so in love."

I should probably inquire about it. I was about to walk away when someone held my shoulders.

"Hello wolf boy." I heard behind me.

Oh Goddess! Not tonight!

"What do you want witch?" I asked turning to her with a glare.

"Oh come on now. You know you love me." She replied winking at me.

"Oh please. What. are. you. doing. here?" I asked again emphasizing on each words through gritted teeth.

"You." She replied.

I'm sure she has a grin on her face but I couldn't see it since she was using the stupid damned black veil.

"Shut up, Roxy. Since when did you even use a veil?" I asked looking at Isabelle.

"Since I had this huge fight and here is the result." She said pulling her veil down so I could see the huge gash that sat on her cheeks down to her jaw.

"Shit!" We heard suddenly making us turn our head to Isabelle who was looking at the gash on Roxy's face.

Roxy immediately pulled her veil back up and she looked away. Uhn, weird. Roxy never backed away from someone's look.

Not even mine.

"What happened?" Isabelle asked moving near her as she moved her hand to touch her veil.

Roxy again moved no muscle to stop her as she touched her cheeks wanting to pull down the veil. Okay, was she dying and wanted to start being nice?

"Um Belle." I called before she could open the veil. Roxy is crazy. She might let her open the veil and then make some stupid sick joke by doing a shitty spell.

"Yeah?" She answered turning to look at me as she dropped her hand back to her side.

"Aren't you still hungry?" I asked.

"Yes please. I'm actually very hungry but I couldn't leave those girls and just go eat now can I?"

"Right. You're very mannered." I said patting her head as she grinned up at me.

"Alright then wolf boy-" Roxy started behind me again.

"What did you just call him?" Isabelle cut her off glaring at her.

I saw Roxy look at her eyes for some minutes and then she turned her neck away so her face was looking at the cup in my hand.

Umm, is it me or is this becoming weirder by the minute?

"Never ever call him that stupid name again, you hear me?" She continued and I saw Roxy nod meekly.

Roxy was meek?! What in heaven's name is happening?!

"Come on Chris. I'm still hungry." She said and turned pulling my hand with her.

I looked back and saw Roxy look back up that feisty gaze replacing the meek one as she smirked.

What?

"Do you think I should get grapes or I should just get some other thing?" Isabelle asked.

"Umm another thing. The grape is at home." I replies shaking off the weirdness of what happened just now away.

"Really?! Thank you! Love you!" She said kissing my cheeks.

"If grape is going to get me free pecks, then I should get like a thousand no, a million, no a trillion, no uncountable ones of them." I replied grinning widely.

"Oh God." She replied snorting before she laughed again.

"So, have you met everyone?" I asked wrapping my hands around her waist resting my head on her shoulder.

"I guess. This is between us though." She said leaning in so she could say it into my ears and no one would hear.

"I doubt I'll remember their names by tomorrow." She said and laughed shaking her head. I joined in her laugh soon enough.

"Hey don't worry, I don't know most of their names as well." I replied and we both laughed again.

The pack members were too much and I didn't interact with them on a daily basis.

I only knew the warriors name, my beta's and his mate, My sister and her mate, my mother obviously and finally my sweet and beautiful Isabelle.

"You wanna get out of here?" I asked after a few minutes of us just watching the pack members dancing.

"We haven't danced. I wanna dance with you!" She said suddenly and pouted.

I moved away from behind her and stopped in front of her.

I kissed her pouted lips and then smiled at her rubbing her cheeks.

"Alright then. I'll dance with you and then we would leave?" I asked.

"Okay. Deal."

"Deal." I replied taking her outstretched hand as I used it to pull her towards me as she fell into my chest with a gasp.

She looked up to me with a blushing face and I tilted my head to look at her.

"Kiss me." She said suddenly.

Well, I never disappoint when she's like this. I leaned down and kissed her lips.

She tilted her head so I had more access until something fell on my head. Apparently it fell on her head as well as she pulled away from kiss to look around us.

I looked at the floor to see petals on the ground. Hn. I looked up to see that a ball was now opened into four parts and whatever was in it was now empty of it.

Well... Isabelle suddenly turned to look at me then she blushed keeping her face in my chest.

I chuckled and put my hand behind her head smiling.

"Can we leave now?" She asked mumbling into my chest.

"Come here." I said pulling her towards a nearby empty spot.

'Look away from us. Your Luna is uncomfortable.' I said into the mind link making sure I had cut Isabelle's own off.

The pack members lookdd away and turned their head as if nothing had happened. Good.

"Look up. They're gone." I said to her again. She peeked up and saw no one was looking our way anymore.

"Let's get out of here." I said bobbing my head towards the direction of our house.

She nodded her head eyes wide as I took her hand and we walked away without looking back.

Both of them knew the next step to the Luna ceremony. They just didn't know how to bring it up.

Chris wanted to assure her that if she wasn't ready, they didn't have to do it much to his Wolf's disapproval but it did nothing to change Chris's decision.

Isabelle on the other hand was not even sure if she was ready or not. She did say let's reach the bridge before we think of how to cross it. Now she was at the bridge and didn't know if she would cross it or turn away from it.

She looked up to see that they had already reached the house so fast.

'That was quick! Has the road become shorter? I'm sure it was longer when we went for the party!' was the only thing on her mind.

Chris turned his head to see his mate biting her nails as she looked so distant. He moved towards her with a sigh.

Seems like the same thing was going through their minds.

He pulled her hand down making her snap her head to look at him. She blushed scarlet and immediately averted her gaze.

"Do you want the party grapes?" He asked suddenly making her look up.

"Yeah, sure I guess." She replied shrugging since she had had her fill at the party.

Chris nodded and made a beeline for the fridge.

He pulled it open and found the grapes in a bag. He pulled it out, closed the door and took a plate.

He poured some grapes into it and turned around to see that Isabelle was already at the breakfast bar.

He smiled and placed the plate in front of her.

"You took five?" She asked eyeing both the plates and the grapes before she looked up.

"Huh?" Chris asked looking down at the plate as well.

Indeed, he has absentmindedly taken 5 grapes. He shook his head and muttered a sorry before he pulled it away.

Isabelle caught his hand before he could pull away. He turned his head to look at her.

"Are you okay? You seem distant." She said with a shaky voice.

She herself knew what was going on in his mind, it was, after all, going on in her mind as well.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Just a little bit distracted." He replied smiling.

He made to go get more grapes but Isabelle's voice stopped him.

"Never mind about the grapes. I'm not that hungry for it." She said.

"Oh okay."

"We should go to bed then." He said.

"The bedroom?" She squeaked out.

"Unless you want to sleep on the couch in the sitting room?" He asked raising an eyebrow at her with a smirk on his lips.

"No I was just- surprised. That's all. Let's go then." She said with a weak smile.

"Right." He said and they walked forward to the bedroom.

They made to take the stairs together with their fingers brushing.

Chris pulled away almost immediately looking away from Isabelle. Isabelle frowned but she said nothing about it as she continued her flight up the stairs.

She stopped turning her face to Chris who was still on the last step not making any movement to come up the stairs.

She pursed her lips and walked back down to Chris. Chris looked up and saw her standing in front of him with a fierce look.

She stretched her hand to him which he took after much look between his hand, her outstretched one and her face.

Both walked up the stairs with each step heavy. Isabelle opened the door and stepped into the room feeling that it was hotter than ever.

She stopped once she heard Chris call her name after he closed the door.

"Belle?"

"Umm, I totally get it if you're not ready. I mean I'm totally down for waiting for you-"

Isabelle turned around and marched towards him wrapping her hands around his waist making him pause his talk.

"Shut up and kiss me." She said looking into his eyes.

"What?" Chris asked bewildered.

Isabelle proceeded and stood on her tippy toes taking his lips into hers.

Chris responded her kisses before he took full control by carrying her by putting his hands under her laps hugging her body to his.

"Hold on, this fucking dress." She said against his lips but she made no move to tug the dress off neither pull away from the kiss.

Chris's hands found its way to Isabelle's zipper as he pulled it down slowly not moving away from the kiss.

Isabelle's hands too had started working with his suit. Chris left her zip halfway and pulled away his blazer throwing it to wherever it landed.

Isabelle's hand immediately flew back to his shirt while Chris's hand was buried into her hair.

He pulled away from the kiss and trialed wet kisses down her neck. Isabelle arched her back and threw her head up to give him more access.

He sucked and nibbled on her skin in different places. Both knew it was going to be a huge hickey the following day, but they didn't seem to care about it.

Suddenly, Chris stopped just like that day and his fangs had sharpened themselves once again.

He wanted to pull away but Isabelle looked down at him cupping his face in her palms.

"You want to mark me?" She asked breathlessly.

"So badly." He mumbled into the nook of her neck with a low voice.

"Then do it." She said after three deep breaths and a few seconds of silence.

"Are you sure?" He asked.

"Yeah. Just tell me when you're about to you know, put it in." She replied nodding her head as she pushed her hand onto his bare back.

"Alright, I'm ready. Do it and get it over with." She said taking a deep breath and exhaled nodding her head.

'I can do this. I can do it. I can-' Her thought was cut off when she felt something graze over her neck.

I can still do it. I can! I-

"Ahhh!" She screamed when she felt the fangs sinking into her neck digging her nails into his back to the extent that she drew blood.

He pulled away after some minutes and then he licked her blood off and then he sighed. He looked up to Isabelle to see her eyes was glistening with tears as it rolled down her cheek.

"Belle? Belle. Did that hurt you? That's a stupid question. I'm sorry." He mumbled.

Isabelle shook her head and bit on her lips to muffle her crying.

What stupid ooh la la?! All she felt was pain! Hee neck was aching her now.

She pulled her lips away from in between her teeth taking Chris's lips in her hers once again.

Chris kissed her back nonetheless and he took her to the bed. Isabelle gasped against his lips once her back hit the soft bed.

Chris didn't stop kissing her as he moved his head down kissing his mark which Isabelle moaned before slapping her hands to her mouth.

What the...?

She heard Chris moan as well and she closed her eyes in bliss. She tugged at his pants that were still on his waist.

Chris caught her hand looking up into her eyes asking again.

"Are you sure?"

Isabelle nodded her head and continued to tug at his trousers. Chris had finally finished her zip as he pulled it. The cloth got stuck on her earrings when it had almost passed over head head.

Chris growled at the clothe and Isabelle paused chuckling. She sat up and carefully and slowly pulled the dress away taking her earrings off during the process.

Chris's eyes roamed her body making her shift uncomfortably. She moved her hand to cover her breast at least when Chris caught her hand before they could reach their destination.

"Don't." He said in a low voice before he leaned down kissing between her breast and went down to her stomach.

Well, y'all know what happened next. Yes yes yes. That thing. That's not the type of book I'm writing.

There are books for it. Thank you!

Isabelle.

I opened my eyes to following morning to Chris's face. He was still sleeping with his hair disheveled some strands falling on his face.

I raised my hand from under the duvet and moved to brush his hair off when he caught my hand kissing it.

"You were already awake." I muttered blushing.

"Hm. Good Morning, baby." He greeted and I found myself staring at his ocean blue orbs.

"Morning." I greeted smiling as I looked away.

"Aw, you didn't call me a sweet name." He said pouting his lips.

"I'll go shower first." I said blushing all over my body as I jumped off the bed pushing the duvet away.

The morning coolness hit my skin as I looked down at my naked body.

"Nice ass." Chris said suddenly right behind my ears.

Memories of last night flooded in as soon as my eyes met with his shirt on the floor.

My eyes widened as I turned around to grab the duvet I had pushed away with my own hands.

"Don't take the duvet." Chris said pulling one end of the duvet.

"Oh come on. Please?" I said hiding my body with the little duvet on my side.

"No. Why are you hiding anyways? What haven't I seen? I saw it all yesterday." He said and winked at me.

Trust Chris to say things like that. The wolf!

"Shut up! Ah, I'm so embarrassed." I said to myself slapping my hands to my face.

"Eh, embarrassed? You still love me don't you?" He asked smiling at me.

"What's that?" I asked pointing at his back and he shook his head.

"Yeah, I'm not falling for that." He said shrugging.

Oh he is going to be like this? Fine! Two can play this game.

I pushed the duvet away with a glare as I stood up from the floor. I smirked at him and turned around walking to the bathroom slowly but sexily. I made sure to sway my hips as I walked turning back seldomly to see him swallow hard.

I heard him groan as I ran to the bathroom almost immediately. Fucking wolf. Thinks only him can tease?

I walked to the mirror looking at myself in the mirror. Oh well.

I sighed and pushed my golden yellow hair to the side to take a look at the mark I cried for.

It was mostly purple with two holes representing his fangs and my whole body was full of... pink hickeys! Is he a monster or what?

I ran my hands over the purple bruise feeling my body shudder with pleasure. Ooh la la. Oh shit! That's what they were talking about?

It's more better than the way they explained it.

I giggled at myself and walked to the bathtub sitting in it while it filled up. Soon it was filled as I reached for the the soap as I rubbed it on my body.

I raised my leg up and washed between my thighs that was stained. Well, he took my virginity so I guess the stain is blood?

They said blood was supposed to come out or so. I shrugged it off and finish bathing.

I stepped out of the bathtub carefully and walked to the bathrobe. I grabbed it and wore it. I took another towel wrapping it on my head to soak in the water in my hair.

I walked out of the bathroom to find the bedroom empty. I frowned but soon shrugged walking to the closet.

'Wow, is that going to be your reaction if you can't find me?' I heard inside my head making me stop for a minute.

Chris?

"Chris? Where are you?" I asked looking around the room.

'Behind you and try saying that without saying it with your mouth.'

'Umm, Chris?'

'Yes my love?' He replied.

"Woah! You're like inside my head." I said out loud smiling.

"You're always inside my head. Always." I heard behind me making me turn around.

"Hi." I greeted.

He didn't say anything just stared back at me.

'I love you.' I heard inside my head again.

'Love you too. Definitely more than you though.' I replied smirking at him.

'Oh please. Do you love me more than your Mum cause I think I might love you more than Ma?' He asked before he blinked.

I pursed my lips and looked down before I looked up at his apologetic look.

"It's fine. Do you want to meet her? I want to introduce you to her. And Dad too. We could bring Mat along and maybe-" I said and was cut offwhen I felt his lips on mine.

I responded the kiss before he pulled away kissing my forehead.

"What was that for?" I asked giggling like an high school girl.

"For everything. I love you." He said looking into my eyes.

"Love you too." I said.

"What should I wear?" He asked. We were suddenly in front of the closet.

"To where?" I asked in confusion.

"To see your parents. I'm so nervous. Do you think they would like me?" He asked.

"We're not going today and more so if they don't like you just for one tiny reason, I'm leaving you." I said shrugging as I pulled a blue dress looking at it.

"Stop joking." He said giving me a smack on my butt.

"Ow! And  I'm definitely not joking." I said holding my butt in my hand.

"Isabelle." He called.

I stuck out my tongue at him before I laughed at his expression.

"Do you want to go see Ma at hers?" He asked suddenly.

"Hold on, are we getting married?" I asked with a chuckle in my voice.

"Something like that." He replied taking my waist in his embrace pulling my body to his.

"Wait, I don't remember you asking me to be your wife." I replied with a frown.

"Hn." He said making me roll my eyes at him.

"Well I don't think I can face your Mom. I mean... it's going to be... embarrassing?" I said.

"You keep saying that word." He said moving away.

"No, I didn't mean I'm embarrassed of you." I said turning around to look at his dejected face looking down.

"I swear, babe. I'm not in any way embarrassed of you." I said shaking my head and hand simultaneously.

He still said nothing as he kept looking at me.

"Chris." I called and he looked up at me.

"I'm sorry, okay. I shouldn't have said that. I'm sorry."

"But you still said it, Isabelle. You still said it."

Isabelle? He was calling me my full name now? Oh God, this is bad than I thought.

"Look I-" I was cut off when I saw he was no longer in front of me. The door closing was the only proof he had gone out.

What have I done?
