Chapter 127
Claire's POV
The drive is nice and calm, the windows are rolled down and the fresh air is nice. School goes by in a blur, the whispers have lessened but still people are on edge. I'm a little nervous to meet Martin's Father...from what I've heard I should be. I hope he likes me and that the weak link rumour hasn't spread to him...the hell it would be.
Bryat is right where I left him this morning, back to pick me up. Only now Lena is with him. She waves at me from the open car window, hair not its usual frizzy waves but straight and sleekly golden. Her eyes are lined with golden eye shadows, brown liner and a thick layer of mascara making her look absolutely stunning. Her smile glows against the red lipstick. Compared to her I look like a mess, I'm actually slightly intimidated.
I smile and wave, climbing into the back I look at there outfits. Bryat is wearing dress pants and a collared white button up, his lean arms tightly wrapped in the material. Lena is in a short satin dress the light blue color radiates against her tan skin.
"You two look very nice..." I trail off hoping they will tell me why
"Martin is holding a dinner for his fathers return, a few of the other allied alphas are also coming" Bryat says and my eyes widen
"Please tell me I have time to get ready" I plea and they both laugh
"Of course!" Lena says
"and you're coming over because I already looked through your closet and nothing in there compares to the dress I have picked out for you!" She says excitedly and I smile and nod, perfectly fine with that.
We pull up to their house and Lena practically yanks me out of the car and pulls me up to the door. I look next door to see Martin house, I can see into his window, he pacing and looks so stressed. I wish I was eighteen already so we could mate mind link-. I stop mid thought, look at me assuming...but honestly there's nothing to assume. I know he's my mate and I'm his...I wish he would just tell me. I know he knows but he's being respectful and traditional until my birthday.
Lena pulls me into the house and I hardly have time to see how beautifully decorated it is. Lena is very talented. We end up down a long hall and in her and Bryat bedroom. She has a dress hanging in her closet door and I'm taken back. It a silk lavender dress, thin straps and a low neck, it's higher in the front than it is in the back and small flowers decorate the hem.
"Wow that's beautiful" I tell her honestly
"I know! And I knew It'd be perfect for you" she tells me excitedly
"put it on...I'll turn on my hair curler" she says and runs off into the master bathroom
I laugh quietly to myself and look over the dress, excited to wear it.
An hour later I'm seated in the bathroom with Lena putting the finishing touches on what she calls 'her masterpiece' aka me. She brushes the white shimmery highlight across my cheek bones and lines my lips with deep purple lipstick. I was afraid it would look like too much but when I turn around I can't help but smile.
"Martin isn't going to know what to do with himself!" She says and puts down the lipstick
"I know! And I knew It'd be perfect for you" she tells me excitedly
"put it on...I'll turn on my hair curler" she says and runs off into the master bathroom
I laugh quietly to myself and look over the dress, excited to wear it.
My silver hair is shinier than its usual knotted waves, the curling iron made each curl look perfect. My eyeshadow is light and glowing, accentuating my grey eyes. Every time I tried to look nice at home it wouldn't be good enough.
"Thank you Lena" I smile wide and turn to her, she nods and hugs me back
"Now let's get to dinner!" She says excitedly and I nod walking into the bedroom to put on a pair of silver heels
We walk out of the house, Peter by Lena's side telling her how amazing she looks and complementing what she did to me. I walk behind, staring up at Martin's house. I don't see any shadows through the windows and I wonder where he is. My question is answered as I turn to see him already leaned up against his car.
My stumble in shock as I look at him. He looks absolutely amazing. The sun is setting behind him and the trees provide key holes for the sun to leak it's last few rays across the area. His dark hair is slick and combed, his stubble just long enough to see and his suit. I've only ever seen him in jeans and a Tshirt or in boxers but this...every thread seems to hug his perfect body in a way that makes my knees buckle. The way his eyes rake my body makes me blush red and quickly walk over to him.1
He doesn't wait for me, he kicks himself off the car and takes large steps over to me. He reaches out his long arms and pull me into him. I smile against his chest and breath in his amazing scent.
"You look absolutely stunning" he says against my neck and kisses me softly under my ear.
"So do you" I say with a smile and pull back
He smiles so wide I'm surprised his cheeks don't hurt as he scans over my face again
"I'm nervous about meeting your Father and Brother" I tell him honestly
"Don't be, they won't do anything to cross me and if they do...well, they'll have to deal with it" he says with a reassuring smile and hugs me tightly.
"I love you" I say a giant his chest
"I love you too Claire" he takes my hand and turns us to Bryat and Lena
"We better leave now or we'll be late" Bryat says and Martin nods helping me into the passenger seat while Bryat opens the back door for Lena
