CHAPTER 34

OLIVIA'S POV
After making Bacon and eggs, Helen was impressed. The maids tasted from it and they were wowed.
Helen had no choice but to approve me to cook with her.
Simultaneously, Helen and I went to work, chopping the ingredients we needed to make the duck meat to our taste.
She worked her magic and a section of the maids cheered her on. The other section of maids cheered me on mostly because they were used to Helen's meal and wanted to taste something different.
By the time Helen and I were done making our meals, the pack members were in the huge dining room anticipating breakfast.
Even Julian was seated at the table, and so were his omega and beta. Many familiar faces were seated and it made me feel a certain way.
"I heard you were competing with the head chef," Niamh cleared her throat, "So. I decided to come and take a look at it and have a taste too."
"Well... I was joking around, I didn't expect everyone to gather here because of that."
"You must be kidding!" Holden's eyes widened, "The Luna is preparing us a freaking meal and you expect us not to gather here!"
His words made me smile and if I weren't careful, I'd be shedding tears.
"Well. Since you're all here, you should eat." I said and the maids served the meal.
Julian was still staring at me from the table and it made me feel a certain type of way.
I called someone and they went to distribute the food so it went around faster.
"Alpha, Beta, Omega, everyone." Helen said, "The luna and I decided not to say who made the dishes in case of partiality so please have the meal and tell me the ones you prefer."
I exhaled and looked at Helen who was shooting lasers at me through her eyeballs.
Everyone ate and I felt a bit nervous as the food entered their mouths.
I'd never been placed on the spot too much but this time. I wanted to impress Julian.
I watched as he ate the food without any emotion on his face. Way to go, my mate, thank you for making me nervous.
I exhaled and looked at the others whose faces lit up as they ate both meals.
It was quite an interesting sight to look at.
"So, what do you all think?" I asked.
"I can taste the difference in the meals," Holden spoke up first.
"Huh?" I was confused.
"Well. I'm used to Helen's meal so, of course, I can tell which meal is yours." Holden smiled.
"Could you tell me more?" He was being vague for no reason and keeping me in suspense. Like bro, shut up and say what needs to be said. You probably can't even cook a meal.
"Well. Helen's dish is fierce and spicy while yours started soft, sweet, and boom! It hits the spot. It's just like having an orgasm."
Niamh facepalmed herself upon hearing Holden's description.
"Shhh, there's teenagers on the table." She whispered as she nudged him but we all heard. Perks of being a werewolf.
"Yes!" Some agreed. "Helen's meal is good but we're used to tasting it all the time so, of course, we appreciate a foreign taste with a different vibe."
"It's good!"
"Luna, cook for me every day!"
"Luna marry me!" It was a six-year-old saying that, and it made me laugh but Julian didn't seem to find it funny.
"Sure Jude, take my mate from me." He sarcastically responded and I smiled at him.
"Julian, what do you think?"
"Only cook for me from now on."
"What?"
Julian cleared his throat, "It's exactly like Holden said, eating your food is like having an orgasm. I'm fucking impressed."
The table erupted into laughter and Julian looked a bit flustered.
"Language, Alpha!" Holden said and Julian glared at him. "You said that first!"
"I have something to say!" Jane threw her hands in the air and the table went silent. She was Julian's sister so her words were also taken into consideration.
"Marry me." The table was filled with murmurs and laughter. "I'm serious!" She said, "I'm Julian's sister, getting with me is the same as being with him."
Julian sighed and looked at her before finishing the food. Then he got up from the table and walked towards me. "None of you will be having my mate."
He smiled at me and linked our hands together before escorting me out of the dining room.
"Have you had breakfast?" He asked.
"Yes." I had a few bites of Helen's meal earlier.
"Good." He tightened his hold on me and I visibly fought the urge to jump him. How could he smell so good and look so good at the same time?
He smiled at me and said, "Everyone in there said they want to marry you.."
Was he being possessive?
"Only the little boy and your sister said so."
"I heard them through the mind link." He said and I immediately understood.
"Are you jealous? They could be joking."
"I admit I am jealous." He said intensely, his grip around my waist tightening. "You are only mine." I could hear the growl he was pushing down his throat to scare me.
"I'm yours." I found myself saying.
He looked at me and his smile grew wider, far more than I could have imagined. He looked like a boy who was hearing a love confession for the first time.
"You know what? Let's go on a date."
I was taken aback. It was so sudden, I had no idea what to wear and didn't he have work to attend to?
I glanced over my shoulder and saw that Vanessa was silently trailing behind us. She smiled when she caught my eye and gave me a thumbs up.
Was she telling me to go on the date with Julian without any complaints?
"For you, I'll put off my schedule for the day."
I was surprised, "Are you sure?"
"You're my mate. You deserve every piece of me."
I chuckled and he looked at me teasingly with a raised eyebrow, "Why? Do you want a piece of me now?"
"Let's go on this date first." I changed the topic.
Not that I was uncomfortable with sex. I just had too many scars I was self-conscious about.
"Where do you want to go?" He asked.
"Anywhere that's quiet." I want to spend time with you.
We arrived in front of the stairs and Julian sighed and looked at me, "Climbing the stairs all the time can be annoying, right?"
"Hmm," I agreed with him.
"Then let's go on the date, we don't have to dress up."
I was about to nod when Julian did the weirdest thing. He swooped me off my feet and carried me in his arms.
I gasped and looked up to meet his loving gaze.
"Buckle up," he warned and before I knew what was going on, he was running out of the mansion while holding me in his arms.
I tightened my grip around his neck and got used to him carrying me.
The werewolves outside looked at us and simply smiled. The older ones looked at us with their eyes burning with excitement while the unmated looked at us with longing. They too yearned to meet their mates.
I let Julian hold me and I leaned into his touch until she arrived at the scenery that looked like that of a plantation.
It had a lake in front and the sound of the water pouring into a river was pleasing to me.
"I've lived outside multiple times during war and defense against rogues. I wouldn't like anything more than enjoying the fresh scenery. What about you, Olivia? What is your ideal date like?"
"Well. I wouldn't mind anything. I... Would do anything with you." I was probably saying rubbish but at least, it made sense to me.
I sighed and sat next to him as we watched the wonderful nature of Gaia.
The waters in the late looked amazing and the way they constantly poured into the river was beautiful.
I didn't know what I was thinking but I found myself leaning against Julian's chest.
When I decided to move away from him, he was playing with my hair and this simple movement was enough to keep me hooked on him.
I inhaled his simple scent and nuzzled my nose into his chest.
How could he smell so good?
Or was I just in heat?
"You're so cute." He murmured under his breath but I heard.
I smiled and we sat still while staring at the wonderful scenery.
In honesty, the scenery wasn't that eye-catching but being in the presence of Julian made it so. I had no idea what I was thinking but I wanted to feel even close to him.
Yes, his presence was healing to me but. I peered from his shirt and looked up at his soft luscious lips.
Like a hungry dog, I captured his lips into a kiss. Julian froze into the kiss, taken aback by what I had just done.
But I paid him no mind, I pinned him into the soft grass while deepening the kiss.
My wolf instincts were pushing me past the limits I had set for myself and I was blindly following them.
Julian soon followed my pace, hungrily kissing me back with the same energy.
I found myself moaning into the kiss as his fingers moved my dress upwards while he ran his fingers against the skin on my feet.
Goosebumps appeared on my skin as Julian broke the kiss to flip us over so he was on top of me.
Before I got some time to breathe, he was kissing me but this time, his fingers were going further up her thighs.
I moaned readily into his mouth as his fingers traced the hem of my panties.
But when I remembered the scar on my back. I clamped my legs shut and pushed Julian's fingers away from my legs.
He broke the kiss and looked at me with a guilty gaze. "Did I do something wrong?"
I shook my head. What do I tell him?
Julian got up from on top of me and looked away.
I sighed, I shouldn't have kissed him in the first place.
"Julian-"
"-Do I by any chance make you uncomfortable?" He looked at me with a gaze that made me feel guilty but then, an idea crossed my mind.
"No! I just don't want to lose my virginity in a place like this."
Julian's eyes widened and he looked taken aback.
"You?!" He exclaimed, "A virgin?"
It was true. I didn't have the time to meet hot guys in my pack. Who would want to be with someone like me with no rank in my pack?
Also, Leo didn't touch me yet. He only threatened me but he wasn't around most of the time.
"But Leo..." Julian trailed off.
"Didn't touch me yet." I finished his sentence. "He's always busy."
Julian exhaled and pulled me into a hug. I hugged him back and I heard his chuckle.
Was he that glad that I was a virgin?
"MINE!" He growled and I giggled at his possessive tone.
I pulled away from the hug and glared at Julian, "What? If I wasn't a virgin, I wouldn't be yours?"
"DON'T SAY THAT!"
I was stunned. It was both him and his wolf that were speaking. "You are mine, only mine!"
I chuckled at the look of rage in his eyes and he calmed down a bit.
"Are you alright?" I asked after he seemed to take control of his wolf.
"I'm fine and I'm sorry for not considering you. Just now, I almost made you lose your virginity on the floor."
I giggled at the look of concern on his face.
"It's alright."
"Well... How would you like to lose your virginity? Would you like me to decorate your room with rose petals and chocolate?"
I laughed and turned to leave while Julian pondered on his words and wondered if they were truly inappropriate.
"Olivia, I'm serious! Losing your virginity is not an issue we can talk about lightly. We have to make proper arrangements and..."
I shut Julian's words out and caught myself smiling. The moon goddess gave me a good mate.
Julian had many sides to him that were both very interesting and questionable.
