I know she have done something wrong with me. I known there is a kind of issue with her. I Known she wants to ruined my plans and I can't afford it. I have to solve it out as soon as possible.
After a long argument with Aisling. She agreed with me to go for breakfast. She came with me. I walked downstairs to see that where is whole family that where they are?
I took a deep breath and walked downstairs with Aisling, holding her hand tightly. I knew my family hated her, but I didn't care. I known they have to accept our relationship so than I can fully out of Valentina. I Known she is planning something big which will definitely hurt us. I have to be careful so I can tackle the situation.
I have no idea about her plans, she already ruined my plans but this time she will pay for it. I will never allow her to do anything.
Aisling and my fake marriage will always be hidden and I will kept this secret always in my heart.
I looked towards her, She was casually dressed up in a blue denim jacket and a white floral dress that reached her knees. She wore a pair of white sneakers and a silver necklace that added some sparkle to her outfit. Her long black hair was styled in soft waves that framed her face and cascaded over her shoulders. Her smile was radiant and warm, giving me love vibes that made my heart skip a beat. She had a sparkle in her eyes that showed her happiness and excitement. She was the most stunning woman I had ever seen, and I felt lucky to have her by my side.
We entered the dining room, where my mother and father were sitting at the table, along with James and my sister. They all looked up at us with cold and hostile expressions. I felt a surge of anger and defiance. I was knew that mom and dad will definitely tried to poke her but I was ready to defend her.
James said, " Welcomed!..."
" Thanks bro!.."
I hold Aisling hand gently so she can feel secure. I knew they hated her, but I didn’t care. She was the love of my life, and I wanted them to see that. I squeezed her hand gently, hoping to make her feel secure and supported. She smiled at me, grateful for my gesture. She looked beautiful in her casual outfit, and I felt proud to have her by my side. I only had eyes for her, and she only had eyes for me.
"Good morning, everyone," I said, trying to sound cheerful.
I pulled out a chair for Aisling and sat next to her. I could feel the tension in the air, and the silence was deafening. No one said a word or even acknowledged Aisling presence. She looked nervous and uncomfortable, but she smiled at me and squeezed my hand.
I reached for the toast, hoping to break the ice. "So, how's everyone doing today?" I asked.
No one answered. They just stared at me with contempt and disgust. I felt like I was being judged and condemned for loving someone they didn't approve of. I known there fucking traditions are still coming between our relationship.
I have to do something. than I decided to ignore them and focus on Aisling. She deserved better than this. I whispered in her ear, "Don't worry, baby. They'll come around eventually. You're amazing, and they'll see that."
She smiled back at me, but I could see the sadness in her eyes. She didn't deserve this treatment. She was kind, smart, beautiful, and funny. She made me happy like no one else could.
We ate our breakfast in silence, ignoring the hateful glares from my family. We didn't need their approval or acceptance. We had each other, and that was enough.
We were having breakfast at the table, when my mother started to insult Aisling again. She had been doing this ever since we announced our relationship, and I was sick of it. I known she wants to see me with Valentina but she always tried hard to attract me towards her.
Mother: "So, Aisling, how is your job going? Oh, wait, you don't have one. You're just living off my son's hard-earned money, aren't you? You already have nothing as I known that you don't have enough money to survive that's why you gold digger trapped my son."
Aisling was shocked that again my mother start hurting her. I tried to entrapped but she stopped me and said," "Actually, I do have a job which is home base. I have several clients who pay me well."
Mother: "ohhh home base like a computer based? That's not a real job. That's just a fancy way of saying you draw pictures on your computer all day. You have no skills, no education, no ambition. You're just a leech who is dragging my son down."
"That's not true. I have a degree in graphic design from a reputable university, and I have a portfolio of work that proves my skills. I'm not a leech, I'm a partner. I love your son, and I support him in everything he does. I already said that he loves me that's why he choose me as his mate why you guys don't understand it."
Mother: "Love? Ha! You don't know what love is. You're just using him for his money and his status. You're not good enough for him. He deserves someone better. Someone like Valentina."
Dad again step forward I'm the discussion and said," You need to stop! we are here to check there bond so be acceptable. "
Mother," okay than she have to come in our society meetings today I will take her with me. "
father said," Archard you don't have any problem now ? I think so? "
" No I don't have any problem. "
Mother said, "Happy? How can you be happy with someone like her? She's not from our culture, our pack, our status ,our royalty, our class. She doesn't fit in with our family, our friends, our society. She's an outsider, an intruder, an enemy. She's trying to change you, to take you away from us."
Aisling: "I'm not trying to change him or take him away from you. I respect your culture, your religion, your class. I'm not an outsider, an intruder, or an enemy. I'm a human being, just like you. I have feelings, hopes, dreams, fears, just like you. I'm not perfect, but neither are you. We're all flawed, but we're all worthy of love and respect."
Mother: "Don't you dare talk back to me like that! You have no right to speak to me like that! You have no right to be here at all! You're not welcome in this house! You're not welcome in this family!"
Father again went in the anger and said," Enough is enough ! can you stop arguing. I want peace in the house."
All we start again having breakfast, suddenly a servent came and said, " Madam Valentina is waiting in the door step."
I looked towards mother and she looked towards me. I was shocked they went another shock. Aisling looked towards me with anger. I quickly step out from the living room to the door step. I opened the door and she was standing in front of me. I opened the door and she was standing in front of me with a rude face. She was angry and her evilness was coming out from her tongue. She looked like a witch, with her black dress, her long nails, and her crooked nose. She snarled at me, spitting venomous words.
"What are you doing here? How dare you show your face after what you did? You are a liar, a cheat, and a coward. You have no right to be here. Get out of my sight, before I curse you for good." She raised her hand, as if to cast a spell on me. I felt a chill run down my spine. "
" Ohhh please!... you are not welcomed in our mansion anymore. "
" Ahhh I guess you are here without knowing your mother. She invited me here. "
" You witch why you don't leave us alone.. "
" Ahhh now I became a witch about 4 months ago you were spending a nights with me and now I'm became a witch. "
" Shut up... "
She start laughing on me and said," I guess you are the one who always ruined my mood now leave my way.. "
Mother came to us while we were arguing at the door. She stopped me and welcomed Valentina to the breakfast. She smiled warmly at her, as if she didn't notice her rude face and evil tongue. She invited her to sit down and enjoy the food. She acted like nothing was wrong, like she didn't know the truth about her. She was either too naive or too kind to see through her lies. I felt a pang of frustration and resentment. How could she be so blind? How could she be so nice to someone who hurt me so much? I Looked to Aisling she was worry after seeing Valentina on the breakfast table.
Father took her jacket and said," I'm done enjoy the breakfast. Valentina is your dad is at home? "
" Ofcourse he is there Uncle and he was waiting for you. "
" Okay! archard James I want to see you at council building. "
" okay! "
He went out from the mansion, while Valentina evilness was now showing off. I can see she was looking towards the Aisling with evilness. Valentina was looking at Aisling with evilness. She was angry with her. She knew that Aisling was behind her failed relationship with me. She wanted to make her pay for ruining her plans. She wanted to expose her secrets and make her suffer. She hated her more than anyone else in the world. She smiled wickedly, as if she had something up her sleeve.
She said to her, "You know, Aisling, I have something to tell you. Something that will make you regret ever crossing me."
Aisling replied politely that she always exposed everything in front of my family.
Aisling and Valentina started arguing over me, Archard. They exchanged heated words and accusations, while I tried to calm them down. Mother and sister sided with Valentina, thinking she was the innocent victim of Asiling's schemes. The scene went something like this:
Aisling: "You are a liar, Valentina. You never loved Archard. You only wanted his money and fame. You cheated on him with his best friend. You broke his heart. And now you have the nerve to show up here and act like nothing happened?"
Valentina: "How dare you, Aisling? You are the one who lied. You are the one who wanted Archard for yourself. You are the one who spread rumors about me and him. You are the one who tried to sabotage our relationship. You are the one who is jealous and bitter."
Mother: "Enough, Aisling. Stop making up stories about Valentina. She is a sweet and kind girl. She loves Archard very much. She was hurt by your lies and your interference. She deserves an apology from you."
Sister: "Yeah, Aisling. Leave Valentina alone. She is our guest and our friend. She has been nothing but nice to us. She has been supportive and generous. She has been loyal and faithful to Archard. You have no right to insult her or accuse her of anything."
Me: "Please, everyone, stop fighting. This is not helping anyone. Can we just talk calmly and peacefully? Can we just listen to each other and respect each other? Can we just forget the past and move on?"
Aisling: "No, Archard, we can't. Not until you see the truth about Valentina. Not until you realize how much she hurt you and betrayed you. Not until you dump her for good and come back to me."
Valentina: "No, Archard, we can't. Not until you see the truth about Aisling. Not until you realize how much she lied to you and manipulated you. Not until you forgive me for everything and stay with me."
Aisling: " Valentina you always not accept me as your friend you always face defeat and right now you will again see the face of defeat I promise to you. "
Valentina said," I guess I was week at that point but now I'm strong Enough to fight with you. This time you can't show your innocent face and fool everyone.. You can fool this idiot archard but you can't make fool me. "
I smashes my hand over the table and said," Ohhh Stop it!... I can't take it more you all are became mad. I don't understand why you all don't respect our decision. She is my mate and you all are keep pushing me towards Valentina. Valentina you can't be my mate? I don't feel our bond.. "
Valentina said: " If you can't feel our bond than why you make me fool? why you promised me for marriage? why your family choose me? why you do it?"
I said:" You can't trap me in your words and took the sampathy from my family. You can fool my family but not me. Come on Aisling we have to go. Thanks for the breakfast mother you really give us a lot of surprise. "
I decided to leave the table with Aisling after the strong arguments. I couldn't stand the sight of Valentina and her supporters. I felt sorry for Aisling, who was being attacked by them. I wanted to take her out of the mansion and spend some peaceful time with her.
I grabbed her hand and pulled her away from the table. I ignored the protests and insults from Valentina, Mother, and Sister. I didn't care what they thought or said. I only cared about Aisling and how she felt.
We ran out of the mansion and got into my car. I drove away as fast as I could, leaving behind the chaos and drama. I looked at Aisling and saw tears in her eyes. She looked hurt and scared. I reached out and wiped them away. I smiled at her and said, "Don't worry, Aisling. Everything will be okay. I'm here for you. I believe you. "
" This fucking contract is hurting me archard I can't continue this drama anymore. I am facing heavy criticism from your family and they all like Valentina. I don't think so I can help you in this situation. "
" You are doing great Aisling I known it is hard for you but at least you are trying hard. I believe you can do it. I believe you that we can do it. "
" You don't know about my past. I know she told my past to your family which is obvious that they will hate me after listening that I have already mate and he left me alone. "
" OhH come on past is past it will never effect our relationship."
" Do you really think? "
" Ofcourse I will defend you in front of my own family. "
We drove to a nearby park, where we could relax and enjoy nature. We walked hand in hand, admiring the flowers and trees. We sat on a bench, watching the birds and squirrels. We talked about our dreams and hopes, our fears and doubts, our joys and sorrows. We laughed and cried, comforted and supported each other.
We arrived at the park in the late afternoon, when the sun was still shining brightly and the air was warm and fresh. We walked along the paved path, admiring the colorful flowers and the green grass. We saw children playing on the swings and slides, dogs chasing balls and frisbees, couples holding hands and smiling. We felt happy and relaxed, as if we had left all our worries behind. We walked for a miles, She: "Tell me about yourself, Archard. What was your childhood like? How did you discover your powers? How did you become an alpha?"
Me: "Well, it's a long story. I don't usually talk about it, but I trust you. You see, I was born with a rare gene that gave me extraordinary abilities. I could manipulate the elements, control minds, heal wounds, and more. But I didn't know how to use them properly. I was always causing accidents and disasters. People were afraid of me. They called me a freak, a monster, a curse."
She: "Oh, Archard, that's terrible. How did you cope with that? How did you find your place in the world?"
Me: "It wasn't easy. I was lonely and isolated. I had no friends, no one who understood me or cared for me except my family they loved me, they always motivated me but I hated myself and my powers. I wished I was normal alpha like you guys, like everyone else. But then, something changed. I met someone who changed my life. "
She: "Who was it? What did they do?"
Me: "It was my mentor, my teacher, my father figure. He was an alpha too, but a good one. He saw something in me that no one else did. He saw potential, he saw hope, he saw a leader. He came forward to me and adopt me as his own son, He took me under his wing and taught me everything he knew. He taught me how to control my powers, how to use them for good, how to be an alpha."
She: "Wow, he sounds amazing. What was his name?"
Me: "His name was Zane. He was the leader of the Alpha Council, the most powerful and respected group of alphas in the world. He was like a legend, a hero, a king. He was also kind, wise, generous, and brave. He was everything I wanted to be."
She: "What happened to him? Where is he now?"
Me: "He... he died. He was killed by an enemy alpha who wanted to take over the Council and the world. After him my family took the position of his and now father is talking care of it. He sacrificed himself to save me and the others. He gave me his last words and his last wish. He told me to take his place as the leader of the Council and the protector of the world. He told me to be strong, to be brave, to be an alpha."
She: "Oh, Archard, I'm so sorry. That must have been so hard for you. How did you deal with that?"
Me: "It was the hardest thing I ever had to do. I felt lost and broken. I felt angry and guilty. I felt like I failed him and let him down. But I also felt determined and motivated. I felt like I had to honor him and his legacy. I felt like I had to fulfill his wish and his vision. So I did what he asked me to do. I became the leader of the Council and the protector of the world. I became an alpha."
She: "And you did a great job at it, Archard. You are an amazing alpha. You are strong, brave, smart, loyal, and compassionate. You have saved countless lives and made the world a better place. You have inspired many people and earned their respect and admiration. You have made Zane proud."
Me: "Thank you, Aisling. That means a lot to me coming from you. You are an amazing person too. You are beautiful, kind, funny, clever, supportive, and loving. You have made my life happier and brighter. You have given me hope and joy. You have made me proud."
She: "Thank you, Archard. That's very sweet of you to say that. You know what? I think we have something special between us. Something that goes beyond friendship or attraction or admiration."
Me: "I think so too, Aisling. I think we have something more than that."
She: "I think we have love."
Me: "I think we do."
We found a secluded spot under a big tree, where we spread a blanket and sat down. We brought a picnic basket with us, filled with delicious food and drinks. We shared sandwiches, salads, fruits, cookies, and lemonade. We talked about everything and nothing, laughing and joking, teasing and flirting. We looked into each other's eyes and felt a connection that words could not describe.
We finished our meal and cuddled on the blanket, feeling the warmth of each other's bodies. We kissed softly and gently, then passionately and intensely. We whispered sweet nothings in each other's ears, telling each other how much we loved and appreciated each other. We caressed each other's hair and faces, feeling the softness of each other's skin.
We watched the sun set behind the horizon, painting the sky with beautiful colors of orange, pink, purple, and blue. We saw the stars appear one by one, twinkling like diamonds in the dark. We made wishes on them, hoping they would come true. We felt peaceful and content, as if we had everything we ever wanted.
We stayed at the park until it was late at night, enjoying every moment of our date. We packed our things and walked back to the car, holding hands and humming a tune. We drove home with a smile on our faces, feeling grateful and blessed. We had a wonderful time at the park, a romantic date that we would never forget.
We forgot about Valentina and her lies, Mother and Sister and their blindness, the mansion and its troubles. We only remembered our love and our happiness. We felt free and peaceful. We felt alive and hopeful. We felt grateful and blessed.
I was watching Aisling innocent face. I was getting emotionally attach with her may it is happening because I'm falling for her may be it is love? I had too many thoughts in my head. Thoughts about her.
Aisling.
She was the girl I met at the party. The girl who captivated me with her beauty and charm. The girl who made me laugh and wonder. The girl who kissed me and left me wanting more. She was the girl I couldn't get out of my mind.
I replayed the moments we shared in my head. The way she smiled at me, the way she talked to me, the way she touched me. The way she kissed me. She kissed me.She kissed me like no one else ever did. She kissed me with passion and tenderness. She kissed me with curiosity and desire. She kissed me like she meant it.She kissed me like she loved me. Did she love me? Did I love her?
I felt a strange sensation in my chest. A warm and fuzzy feeling that spread throughout my body. A feeling that made me happy and nervous at the same time.
A feeling that I had never felt before.
Was this love?
Was I in love with her?
I thought about what love meant to me. I thought about the movies and books I had seen and read. I thought about the songs and poems I had heard and written.I thought about the clichés and stereotypes of love.
Love was supposed to be magical and wonderful. Love was supposed to be easy and simple. Love was supposed to be forever and unconditional.
Love was supposed to be a fairy tale.
But this was not a fairy tale.
This was real life. Real life was messy and complicated. Real life was hard and unpredictable. Real life was temporary and conditional. Real life was not a fairy tale. But this felt like a fairy tale.
This felt like magic and wonder. This felt like ease and simplicity. This felt like forever and unconditional. This felt like love. Maybe I was in love with her.
Maybe she was in love with me.
Maybe we were in love with each other.
Maybe this was our fairy tale.
I looked towards her while she was playing with kids, her enjoy, her laugh everything was so unique.
My feelings for her was getting strong.
I love how you Aisling hold me in the worse situation.
I love how you hold me. I love how you tell me I'm beautiful. I love how you find it funny when I say something stupid or just can't speak when I'm around you. I love how you make me happy. I love how you smile when I see you. I love how you
laugh when I say something random, or stupid. I love that when I laugh it makes you smile. I love how you ask me if I'm alright when I can't stop laughing. I love how you make me feel. I love how
you tell me I look cute. I love how we can talk about randomness for hours. I love that you want to stay up and text me late into the night.
I love how you say sweet things to me. I love how you whisper in my ear when we hug. I love how you squeeze me so hard when I hug you. I love how I can talk to you for hours about anything, and you
listen, and I listen. I love how you want to spend every day with me. I love how you caress my hand.
I love how you hold me when we hug. I love how I get a feeling of protection when I'm around you. I love how everything is perfect. I love how you see
the person I really am, yet you still want me.
I love how you have a passion for our Jesus and you want to grow in your relationship with Him. I love how
you make me cry but not because I'm upset or sad, or you hurt me, but because you make me the happiest I've ever been. I love waking up and talking to you. I love how I anticipate seeing you.
I love how I get nervous when I see you, but feel more comfortable with you then I do with anyone else. I love how you deal with my random thoughts and craziness. I love how you insist everything will be alright, and make me feel at ease. I love how you give me weird looks at
awkward moments.
I love how I'm important to you. I love how I'm your first choice. I love how I make you happy I love how you make ME happy I love how I worry about you and the dumb stuff you do. I love how I only want to be with you.
She came toward me and asked, " What just happened why are you looking happy!".
" Nothing I was just enjoying your playing with kids.."
" Why you don't join us."
" No I have to go you known that dad said me to visit council."
" okay I just forget I have to go with your mother ohhh can you drop me there."
" Yes sure..."
After a moment I went with her to the Mansion I drop her while I drove car towards the council. I have to focus on other things I can't fall in love with her.
Archard be focused on your goals.
