12. Mate

Aria (Mildly mature)

After I showers and got dressed, I went down to the kitchen to make myself some breakfast. Well it was almost 1pm so lunch. When I got down there, there was already a plate of bacon on the island. A note was stuck next to it so I read it. 'Dearest aria, this plate of bacon is for you. From all of the times we took your food, including your Christmas present when we agreed not to, two years ago. We love you aria, happy birthday wolf, it's gonna be a good one. Lots of love, jack, James, Patrick and josh,' I smiled to myself and put the paper down. "Thanks guys," I mind linked them. "Our pleasure, happy birthday aria," they all cheered. I laughed and shut off the mind link. As I ate the bacon, I got a weird feeling like I was being watched. I looked behind me to see Christian stood there with a smirk on his face. "What's that look for?" I giggled. "Nothing. Happy birthday little wolf," he replied. Christian kissed my the top of my head then walked away. A card and box was placed in front of me. I put the plate to one side and opened the card. 'Little wolf, well not so little anymore. I've known your for 13 years now and you have never failed to surprise me. From a frightened little wolf in the woods to an amazing, strong, independent young woman you are today, you have grown so much. All the times you made me laugh like a lunatic, the times you gave me bad attitude, was the best years of my life. When you came into my life you showed me that it wasn't always gloomy and dark, you made me see the light in it all. Now your old enough to find your mate and have pups of your own, they will be just like you. Not matter what though, I will always be here to help the best I can. On you bad days, good days, lazy days and most of all, when you bring your own pups into the world. I'll always be here to guide you through anything, wether it's a big thing like climbing a mountain or a small thing where I can comfort you. I love you aria Penelope Smith, happy birthday and make it the best day. Lots of love, Christian,' tears fell down my cheeks as I put my hand over my mouth to stop sobs coming out. "You alright?" I heard Betty behind new. "Yeah, just a little emotional that's all," I let out a nervous laugh. "What's that?" She sat next to me. "That is a plate of bacon from my uncles," I chuckled. "And these?" Betty pointed at the box and card. "Present and card from Christian," I smiled. I wiped my eyes and tried to stop the tears from falling. "Want to read it?" I handed over the card. After a couple minutes, Betty had tears forming in her eyes. "Why can't I have a mate like him," Betty pouted. "Christian isn't my mate Betty. I won't find out until tonight," I took the card back. "Well, we have enough time to go get our hair done and nails," Betty clapped and dragged me to her car. Before I knew it, I was sat down getting my hair cut, dyed and styled. In the end, I had shoulder length hair with light brown highlights on the mix of my black curly hair.

At 10pm I was sat with the boys waiting for the scent of my mate to come to me. "How long left?" Jack asked over the music. "6 minutes," I replied. My heart beat got quicker as the time neared. When I looked at my phone, I turned 10:07pm. A wave of mint, strawberries and a forest after a rainy day, hit me. "Aren't you going to go find him?" Josh furrowed his eyebrows. "No, I'm nervous," I shook my head. "Go find him, he'll love you," James reassured me. "What if he rejects me? I don't think I'll be able to handle that," I breathed out. "Aria, I promise you, your mate will love you. Now go find him," Patrick hugged me then pushed my shoulders a little. I followed the scent until I got outside. A well built man caught my eye, he was wearing black jeans and a white T-shirt. He was leaning over the edge of the porch looking at the lake at the back of the house. As I got closer, the figure got more familiar, that's when it hit me. I walked over to the edge and leaned on my arms against the rail. "How long have you known?" I nervously asked. "The day I found you in the woods," he replied. "Why didn't you tell me?" I breathed out. "You were only five and it never crossed my mind as you got older," he shrugged. "Is that why you told me that uncle Patrick knows but no one else?" I could feel a lump in my throat and tears forming in my eyes. "Yes. The boys as well but other than that no one," Christian sighed. "Was it not difficult to be around me?" I looked at him. "Very. There was multiple times I had to leave a room because seeing you was to much for me. And as you got older the more my wolf wanted you," he looked at me. His brown eyes staring into my blue ones. We both stayed silent, just looking into each other's eyes. All I could see was truth and hurt, but most of all, love. Christian stood up straight and grabbed my hand. Sparks went up my arm letting me feel some sort of comfort. He pulled me into a hug which I gladly returned. "You smell good," I laughed. "So do you," Christian chuckled. We both pulled back a little to look at each other. Our faces were close together again, his lips so close to mine making me want to kiss him. His eyes went from my eyes to my lips, my breathing hitched as he looked back up to my eyes. Christian leaned forward and put his lips over mine. When he pulled back, I saw lust in his eyes. He crashed his lips back on to mine gripping my waist. Our lips moving together like they were made for each other. My arms went around his neck while his stayed on my waist. Just then, Christians hands went just below my bum. "Jump," he mumbled against my lips. As I jumped, he lifted me up so my legs wrapped around his torso. Christian started walking back into the house and I heard cheering. We both looked up to see, Josh, James, jack and Patrick all smiling and clapping at us. I laughed and shook my head at their childish behaviour. Not long after, I felt a soft surface on my back. I recognised it as Christians bed, I only know that since I've slept in here most nights since I was five. The kiss didn't break as Christian hovered over me. A small moan escaped my mouth causing Christian to growl. He ripped off my top then started kissing down to my neck. I grabbed the bottom of his T-shirt, Christian leaned up a little so I could take it off him. When I pulled his T-shirt over his head, he didn't waist time crashing his lips to mine again. My hands went down to his jeans, unbuttoning them and pulling them down. We both got up and took off our jeans then went back to heavily making out. Christian kissed down my neck to my stomach, he kissed what seemed like every bit of me until he started kissing the insides of my thighs. Another moan left my lips as Christian went higher. We made eye contact and he went to my underwear pulling them down with his teeth. He came back up to my face and locked his mouth over mine. I could feel his length poking my thigh, the more I felt it, the more I wanted him. "Christian," I moaned. He lifted my back up a little and unclipped my bra then threw it on the floor with our other clothes. His eyes trailed down my body taking me all in. "Your so beautiful," Christian mumbled. He hovered over me again and my hands went to his boxers. I pulled them down and threw them off to the side. My hands went around his neck as he positioned himself at my entrance. "I love you aria," Christian made eye contact with me. "I love you Christian," I looked at him. With that, he dipped his head and kissed me, I felt a pain in my lower area and let out a small cry. "I'm sorry baby," Christian caressed me. After a few minutes, he carried on going deeper, we both moaned. Christian stopped and I could feel the base of him. "It'll be all over soon, I'll made you feel good," he whispered in my ear. I felt pepper kisses on my neck while my body got used to Christian. "Can I start moving?" He asked after a while. "I'm ready," I nodded. Christian pulled back, it made me whimper at the lack of feeling from him until he thrusted back into me. Our moans filled the room along with the thumping music downstairs. It was a long, stress free birthday. It was a good day for everyone.
