Chapter 95
“For being an idiot” she said “I swear Lily you’re so tough when it comes to things that are dangerous but an idiot when it comes to anything ’mate’ related” she looked at me seriously “Any girl would kill for your body. And even if our body wasn’t perfect Ethan wouldn’t mind, if he loves you then he’ll love you just the way you are”
“And when you smile the whole world stops and stares for a while Melissa sang sarcastically “Deep words there Ren”
“Shut up” Ren laughed punching Melissa playfully “Trying to teach the idiot over there”
“okay okay” Melissa said “But she’s right Lily”
“Yes I am” Ren said “And about the ’not great for him’ idiotisness”
“I don’t think that’s a word-”
“Who cares, the point is it’s MATING not just sex. This is your mate and not just a plain guy, it’ll be amazing and both of you are gonna love it.”
“You’re right” I said shaking my head “you’re absolutely right. I don’t know why I’m so scared” I turned to them “you know what, I’m gonna tell him. Tonight. I’m gonna tell him that I’m not scared and that I’m ready”
“Well in that case” Ren said glancing at Melissa who had the same evil smile on “Come with us”
“Why do I have a bad feeling about this?”
They just grabbed my hand and led me to the stairs. Oh boy.
The party was in full blast as I danced with Ethan. I had a few drinks but not enough to make me drunk, god knows I learned my lesson the first time.
“Come with me a bit” Ethan said leading me away from the dance floor. He took me outside and I smiled as I saw the stars in the sky
“So…what’s up?”
Ethan didn’t answer, instead he reached into his pocket and pulled out a key. He nodded his head to the locket I was wearing, the locket he gave me on the winter formal “Open it”
I grinned as I took the key from him “So does that mean I’m finally ’ready’ ” I said and took off the locket and opened it with the key. I looked inside it and gasped. I looked back at Ethan but he wasn’t standing anymore, instead he was kneeling on the ground.
“Lily I promised myself something two years ago” he started “I promised myself that when I’d find you, when I’d win you back I would waste no time in making you my wife. I don’t deserve you at all and I have no idea why you love me, but I’m glad you do because I can’t live without you. You’re strong, beautiful, smart and can put me in my place anytime. You’re everything Lily” he took a deep breath “So, Lily Marison. Would you make me the happiest man alive and marry me?”
I stared at him in shock. I was NOT expecting that at all. Marriage? It was too much to take in. I was speechless as I kept staring from Ethan to the ring and back “Well answer the man already” I heard a voice say and turned to see the my boys at the door looking at us.
I gulped. Marriage, it was a big thing. But then again didn’t I decide we were going to complete the mating process tonight? That was a much bigger commitment than marriage. “yes” I said grinning “Yes Ethan I’ll marry you”
Ethan let out an outcry of joy and stood up and spun me around, placing kisses all over my face. “Well its about damn time” I heard Dave say. Ethan took the ring from the locket and slipped it on my finger. It was beautiful, simple and elegant and I loved it.
Ethan took us back inside and immediately went to the DJ. Moments later the music was paused and Ethan grabbed the Mic. “I would like each and every one of you know that Lily Marison, My beautiful mate and you’re future Luna has agreed to marry me. She’ll make an amazing Luna and I’m the luckiest guy on this planet” Cheers ehod through the room as Ethan made his way back to me.
People immediately swarmed around us, congratulating us and I smiled, we had a big pack but everyone was really nice.
But now I couldn’t get my mind off of what I had planned tonight. Ethan’s proposal definitely removed any doubts I had about the mating.
Now I thought to myself before you wimp out I took a deep breath and nodded to myself before I faked a yawn. “I think I’m going to bed”
“This early?” Ethan said shocked “It isn’t midnight yet. Don’t you want to be there for the countdown?”
“No I’m pretty tired”
“Well then let’s goo bed” he said and we walked upstairs and into his…our room. I told him I wanted to change and walked to the bathroom getting out the bag I hid there before the party. I took out the lingerie and sighed. It was Ren’s idea to use the Lingerie the twins gave me and after a lot of persuasion and threats I caved but now I was regretting it.
Deep Breaths I told myself as I feeling my hands shake. I was feeling nervous as hell, God since when was I such a coward. Fighting and killing rogues is couldn’t be easier than this. I had to pull it together. I pulled the robe around me tighter, feeling naked. I was going to kill Ren for making me wear the stupid lingerie. Thɪs chapter is updated by.net
I opened the door of the bathroom and walked back into the dimly lit room. Ethan was already in the bed, his hands behind his head as he stared at the ceiling. Before he could look at me I quickly took the robe off and got in the bed, covering myself with the sheets.
