Chapter 148
Rakari's POV
"Do we have to go?"
"Yes Rakari, it's a ceremony"
"So? Can't I just stay here?"
"We're all going, that's final"
I sighed and let my mum do the finishing touches on my hair. I don't even know why I'm getting dressed up for this thing, it's not like it's anything important,
"Kari, stop frowning"
I put on a fake smile and my mum nodded. She gestured for me to look in the mirror but I just walked out of the room, I know she done a good job, she always does when it comes to events like this. I went downstairs to meet my dad and brother and they smiled when they saw me,
"You look great Kari"
"Thanks Mhakir, you look quite handsome, planning on picking up girls?"
He just winked at me and I laughed and looked at my dad, "Hi dad"
"You look beautiful princess"
"Thank you, mum done a good job"
"That I did"
My mum walked into the lounge and put her arm around my dad's waist and he put his arm around her shoulder,
"I think we should go then, we don't want to be late for our own ceremony"
I smiled and we all walked out of the house towards where the ceremony was being held. I haven't seen Darius since I left his study; thankfully, I don't think I could handle looking at him right now. I was still kind of angry at him, which is why I said I wouldn't forgive him until he's sure he wants to accept me as his mate.
I was in my thoughts for quite a long time because I realised that we were at the ceremony already and I was shocked to see how many people there were,
"Ah, here are the people of the night... The Martin's" Darius announced and the whole crowd turned to face us and I'm not scared of crowds or anything but the way everyone kept there eyes on us when we walked through made me a bit self conscious so I looked down to the ground the whole time,
"They will be joining the pack and this ceremony is to formally introduce them to all of you"
I looked up and Darius winked at me which just made me blush even more, stupid alpha,
"First of all we have Martin Luther Cascella " My dad waved, "Claire Martin Cascella" My mum smiled,
"Mhakir Martin Cascella" My brother winked at some of the girls and I rolled my eyes, "And finally, we have my mate, Rakari Martin Cascella"
I put my hand up to wave but I stopped midway because I just realised what he said, he introduced me as his mate, oh shit!
I looked at my dad to see his angry face and then I looked back to the crowd to see that everyone now had shocked faces. He wasn't supposed to say that! I growled at Darius and walked off back to the pack house, if he thought that telling everyone that I'm his mate was going to get me to forgive him, he was off by a long shot,
"Rakari!"
I stopped walking and turned around,
"What do you want Darius?"
"What did I do wrong? You told me to prove that I accept you and I did"
"I didn't mean to announce it in front of the pack and my parents! You are such an idiot!"
"I didn't know! I just wanted everyone to know that you were mine"
"By doing that?! Are you fucking kidding me?!"
He moved closer to me and I moved back,
"I'm sorry"
I shook my head,
"You've said that too many times"
He started moving towards me again but I put a hand out to stop him,
"Don't come near me"
He winced at my tone of voice, "Please, don't leave"
I shook my head and turned around. I decided to go for a run so I shifted, not caring about my now ripped clothes and ran into the forest not even bothering to look back at Darius, he's just really annoyed me now and I needed to let go of my anger.
Darius' POV
She shifted and ran into the woods and I just stood there watching her run off. I was considering running after her but I knew that wouldn't help anything, she was angry enough already and I don't want to make matters worse so I just starting walking to the pack house. I know that the ceremony was still going on but without Rakari there, it's pretty pointless.
I walked into the pack house and went straight up to my room and when I walked in, for some weird reason, Francesca was lying on my bed, let's just say that she's the pack slut if you wanna put it that way,
"Francesca, what are you doing here?"
She sat up and smiled at me,
"I saw what happened with that girl and thought you might need some cheering up"
"She's my mate; she was just a bit angry"
"Didn't look that way"
"Well it was that way"
"Sure it was"
She got up from the bed and walked over to me. She grabbed my shirt and pulled me closer to her,
"What are you doing?" I questioned,
"She doesn't have to know"
She turned me around and pushed me onto the bed and I just lay there speechless, I should be stopping her right now but my body was in too much shock. She walked towards me and climbed on top of me,
"Francesca don't"
"Stop me if you want to then" For some reason I couldn't bring my arms up to push her away,
"Didn't think so"
She leaned down to kiss me and yet I still didn't stop her! This is what I used to do before Rakari came into my life so it's nothing big but I have a mate now; I can't be doing this,
"Darius?"
I pulled away from Francesca and looked towards the doorway to see Rakari staring at the two of us with both hurt and anger, but more anger. In a flash she pulled Francesca off of me and pinned her against the wall, kind of like what I did with Tina,
"Why do you have your hands all over my mate?!" She shouted,
"He needed cheering up" She managed to get out.
Rakari growled at her,
"Don't test me!"
I decided to step in so I stood up,
"Let her go Rakari"
She turned to face me and I took a step back because her face was just clouded over with anger,
"Do not use the alpha tone with me!"
I sighed,
"Baby, just let her go, she's not worth it"
"Banish her"
