Chapter 8

"I'll kill that douche bag", Faye mutters.

It's seven p.m and I already handed over a sleepy Javier to a very pissed off alpha Casper and, I just told Faye and Quinn the brief exchange  today between mason and I.

Quinn is in a pink bathrobe with her hair in a French braid and her makeup done. Faye has her hair in a crown braid and her makeup light. While I'm just in my  towel with my makeup being done by Quinn and my hair in a waterfall braid.

"Don't take it that serious Faye", I mutter and shut my eyes as Quinn dusts my face with powder.

"But--but--- he shouldn't even be here", she exclaims.

"He's an alpha he should be here"

"Are you defending him Quinn?"

Quinn rolls her eyes, "fin", she mutters and steps back. She turns to Faye, "you didn't let me finish", she states "I said he's an alpha he should be here but he should know his boundaries and not over step them. Does that sound like I'm supporting him?"

"Next time he tries to talk to you,I'm going to beat the fuck out of him", Faye says.

"Faye", I say sternly.

She just shrugs, "he's gonna be asking for it"

"You really don't have to that", I explain.

"And I will also join in if he even looks at you with his beady stupid eyes", Quinn mutters.

I sigh, "he shouldn't really be getting you two riled up"

"All I know is that he's gonna get it if he asks for it", Faye muttered, ignoring my words before checking her wrist watch. She stands up, "it's 7:25, we really should start dressing up if we want to get ready before 8", she mock bows and leaves my room making sure to shut the door behind her.

Quinn shuffles around the room and arrange her makeup tools, "I should get going to", she says and kisses my cheek.

I nod and she leaves the room. I fall back on my bed and sigh, then,  I remember my hair that Quinn took her time to make beautiful and I quickly sit up.

He wanted to talk,he sounded like he sincerely wanted to talk. Should I at least hear what he has to say? Why am I obsessing over this so much?. I groan and stand up before marching to my closet and pulling out the dress I was supposed to wear today.

It was a maroon halter neck dress that hugged my torso and flared out at the waist. It stopped above my knee and I paired it with a pair of strappy stilettoes.

I immediately put on the dress and shoes and sat down on my bed put on the jewelries I picked out.

"You look amazing"

"The actual fuck", I exclaimed as I turn around to see mum in a body hugging floor length sequin dress looking so beautiful with a smile directed at me.

"Oh it's you", I mutter,  "you look really beautiful"

"But not as beautiful as you"

I smile back at her as she makes her way towards me.

"Well, i heard that mason talked to you today"

"Who blabbed?"

She laughs, "I was going to come in to tell you to dress up but I overhead you and your sisters talking"

I flop down on my bed, "what do you think I should do?"

"It's your life and you should decide on what to do"

"But I want to talk to him, I want to hear what he has to say? Don't you think I need some sort of closure?"

"You do what you want to do and what you feel is right honey. "

"But it's difficult. I don't know what I want to do"

"I know but you this is a decision you have to make regardless of me, your sisters or anyone else. Only you know what's best for yourself."

"You have a point but it's just-------" I trail off not knowing how to express my thoughts.

"I shouldn't tell you this but your dad and I weren't always so happy"

I look at her. This was unbelievable they're like the OTP couple. "What do you mean?"

"Your father was married before we met, he even had a child. He never expected to meet his mate, ever. I know the situation might not seem like yours; but, at that time I made the decision to leave, even though he wanted me to claim me as his mate. I couldn't do that to his wife or his child"

"But his wife left when she found out, along with his kid. I felt guilty about what had happened. Against the advice of both my parents, I rejected him out of guilt. It took two years before I made the decision to see him again when I could've met someone else but here we are"

"How did this story get buried?", I asked baffled because this story could have caused a big scandal.

"Well, nobody really talks about it anymore and most people choose not to touch that subject", she says.

"Don't you ever wonder what happened with —"

"Jackie and her child? They're safe. She left without a word and nobody has seen her ever since but I have a feeling that she and her child are alright."

I just nod.

"I'm telling you this because every decision I made were of my own mind. There were no influences on them, I just did what I wanted and what I thought was best for me. It could've ended differently but they were my choices. So, you should do what you think it's best for you. None of us know your heart or your motivations, just you."

"I have to make the decision myself", I murmur to myself.

"Are you and mum in there Odetta?", Noel asks as he knocks on my door.

I stand up and mum follows suit, "yes"

"Well, it's time to go down stairs and everybody is waiting for us"

I leave the room after mum and shut the door behind me. They're all there standing in the hall, waiting for mum and I.

"You look beautiful dear", Dad says and gives mum a kiss on her cheek.

She blushes, "you look good too"

"Enough PDA we have over a 100 guest waiting downstairs for us", Faye says and we start heading down stairs.

"I can't wait to start eating. I'm fucking famished", Quinn mutters beside me.

"Good thing we have dinner first before dancing", noel pipes in.

It takes three whole minutes of walking till we finally come downstairs and like yesterday night, people are in the big waiting room waiting for dad to permit dinner and watching us as we come down the final flight of stairs.

I let my gaze to sweep through the crowd this time and I make eye contact with beautiful green eyes staring at me. Javier is the only child in the crowd but I smell fear radiating off him and he's sporting a big smile and a black tux.

I smile back at him and wave at him. He excitedly waves back but he is quickly blocked by a non-excited alpha Casper. I mean what's this guys deal, does he ever smile? and what does he have against me.

A frown quickly makes way to my face and that seems to put the tiniest smile on his face. I roll my eyes at him,tempted to stick my tongue out and then make my way to the general dining room.
