Alphas Broken Mate -
Chapter 87
Catalina's
POV
I wake up the next morning wrapped up in Andrew's arms. My mate, my almost husband. I breathe in his scent. I feel his fingers on my arm. "Are you awake?" I ask.
"No I'm still sleeping."
"Liar."
He chuckles.
"I don't want to be awake, isn't that the same thing?"
"No it's not."
"Well we will have to agree to disagree my love." He kisses the top of my head.
"Should I ask what you have planned for your bachelor party?"
"Should I ask about yours?" He asks.
"I honestly don't know what we are going to be doing. Rachel and Cassie planned it."
"Oh great, goddess only knows what they have planned. Don't worry about me, we are going to some distillery and drinking and smoking, that's about it."
"I won't let anything get out of hand. I am the high Alpha after all." I look up at him and he raises his eyebrows.
"Good. What time are you starting your dignified bar crawl?" He asks with a smirk.
"All I know is the girls will be over around 5."
"Great that gives us 5 hours to lay in bed. Im going to miss it tonight."
"Awe I'm going to miss you tonight. Wait, it's noon???!!" I sit up in bed and reach for my phone. It's 12:05 PM.
"Good goddess we slept till noon?" I throw the covers off and scramble out of bed.
"We were up late, practicing for our wedding night." He says with a bigger smirk.
"Ha ha ha. You are so funny. We have things to do Andrew. We are getting married tomorrow. You have a final fitting for your tux, someone needs to pick up the flowers, my dress, greet guests, oh Rachel must be so mad at me." I am rifling through my drawers for clothes.
"Lina calm down. I already did my final fitting yesterday, my mom is getting the flowers and your dress as we speak, my dad is greeting guests, Rachel is so busy she doesn't even know you are still up here. Everything is fine. We are getting married tomorrow. We get to be taken care of until then." Andrew has his hands on my shoulders. I take a deep breath. He's right. Andrew pulls me back to the bed and he takes a seat on the edge pulling me in between his legs. "Then what do you suggest?"
"Let's have lunch together before we have to part ways until the wedding tomorrow."
"Very well. Let me go get ready. I'm actually very hungry now that you mention it." I go to the closet and pick out an outfit, then I head to the bathroom to clean up. When I'm done I get dressed in a pair of jeans and a white and black striped sweater. "What are we having for lunch?" I ask.
"You can have anything you want. What will it be?"
"Hmm anything I want?"
"Anything."
"How about burgers?" I say with a grin.
"You could have anything you want, sky is the limit and you pick burgers? Goddess I love you." Andrew pulls me in and kisses me.
"I love you too."
"Let's get going I'm actually getting really hungry."
"Do you know where we are going?" I ask.
"I know just the spot." He says as he takes my hand and leads me to the elevator. We make it down the elevator and into the lobby and out to a black SUV. We get into the back seat and the car takes off. I am guessing Andrew mindlinked our driver, because he seemed to know exactly where we were going. I just sat in my seat holding Andrew's hand and looking out the window. After about 10 minutes of driving we pull up to this street where I see a bunch of people all sitting on the sidewalk eating. I look over at Andrew. "Trust me." He says and gets out of the car pulling me behind him. We walk over to a line at a window in the front of the building. However, it seems most everyone here is a werewolf and allows us to the front of the line. When we get to the window, I see a young girl with thick eyeliner standing behind the plexiglass chewing gum and checking her nails. "What can I get ya?" She asks without looking up at us.
"Two double cheeseburgers with everything on them and two fries and two sodas." Andrew says. The girl pops a bubble as she types our order onto her screen.
"Thats $40." Andrew pays and the girl hands us our drinks as we wait. We take a seat on a curb and wait for the food. The young girl yells out our order number. Yay! Our food is ready. The burger is the best burger I have ever had in my entire life. I eat it so fast, and I'm actually sad when I'm finished.
"Good, right?" Andrew asks.
"I'm sad I finished it."
"We'll come back again."
When we get back to the apartment, Andrew packs an overnight bag to stay at Murphy's place. I know it's only for one night but I absolutely hate that he won't be here tonight. I come up behind him and wrap my arms around his waist and lay my head on his back. "It's just one night love." He says.
"I know, but I already miss you." He turns around and picks me up. I wrap my legs around his waist and cup his face and look into his green eyes, the eyes I fell in love with.
"I will see you tomorrow." He says and kisses me.
"I can't wait." I kiss him again. I hear the apartment door open and I know it's Rachel. Andrew puts me back on the floor and I go to greet her.
"Honey! Are you excited about tonight?" Rachel throws her bags on the couch and wraps me in a tight hug. She smells like vanilla and orange. "Yeah, what do we have planned?" I ask. Rachel looks over my shoulder.
"Is Andrew still here?" She almost whispers.
"Yes I'm still here. Why? What are you hiding?" Andrew comes out of the bedroom with his bag.
"Nothing! You just need to get out. It's girl time!" Rachel says practically shoving him out of the door.
"Sheesh Rach. You didn't have to throw him out." I huff.
"Yes I did. You need to get ready and the other girls should be here soon." Rachel hooks arms with me and pulls me into the bedroom and straight for my closet.
"You need something sexy. Short, low, and thin." After a few moments of going through my closet I hear a commotion.
"Why have I never seen you in this? Oh this is perfect." Rachel exclaims.
"What's perfect? What did you replace?" I ask. Rachel comes out with a shimmering teal dress.
"This is the dress." She hands it to me.
"I'm going to freeze to death."
"But you'll look so hot." I sigh but smile, the dress is very cute. I get changed and hear the door open and the girls talking.
"Hey ladies! Wait until you see Lina!" Rachel shouts.
"Let's see it girl!" Cassie yells back. I step out in this very short pencil dress, deep v cut all the way to my stomach, with spaghetti straps. Basically the only things covered are my boobs and hips. I definitely need a jacket. "Daaaammmnnn Lina. Look at you!" Sarah says walking over to me.
"Now I still need to do her hair, but come on! Look at this dress!" Rachel takes my hand and twirls me around to show it off. I let out a little chuckle.
"But I'm definitely going to need a jacket." I say.
"We need drinks!" Poppy says.
"Please! Shiloh is on formula so I am free to drink!" Cassie says grabbing a glass. Rachel takes a glass too, but doesn't drink it. She really needs to tell everyone, I hate secrets. We all file into my bedroom and Rachel sits me down to do my hair. "So are you excited for tonight?"
"I would be if I knew what we were doing." I say.
"You haven't told her?"
"Not yet. We're going to a club." Rachel says.
"Not just any club. We're going to Odyssey!" Poppy squeals in excitement.
"Am I suppose to know what that is?" I ask.
"It's just a club, don't worry. And besides you look gorgeous!" Rachel says backing away from me.
"Hey Lina this is beautiful where did you get it?" Sarah asks holding up the smooth opal Stone Dolus gave me.
"Oh it's nothing someone gave it to me." I get up to get it from Sarah, but Cassie gets it from her first.
"Oh I know what this is. It's a summoning stone. Mother had one for a certain someone. Who does this call?" Cassie asks teasing me. I reach for the stone, but she goes out into the living room.
"Should we replace out ladies?" She holds the stone over her wine glass. Oh goddess no!
"Cassie please don't." I say but I'm too late, she drops the stone in the wine. My breath catches in my throat as I look around the room. Nothing. I breath again. Thank you!
"3 weeks. I can't believe you waited 3 weeks." I close my eyes at the sound of his voice.
"Damn Lina! Where have you been hiding him?" Sarah says
"Being High Alpha has its perks I see." Poppy says. I open my eyes and see Dolus in my living room.
"So what is going on here?" Dolus looks around and then back at me. I can feel his eyes exploring every curve of my body, and I did not like it. I wanted to cover myself but I didn't have anything.
"It's Lina's bachelorette party." Poppy says pouring herself another drink.
"Oh and am I to be the entertainment?" Dolus' smile spread across his face. As if. Don't get me wrong, Dolus is very attractive with his broad shoulders and dark hair. I can see a few tattoos peeking out from under his shirt. Can Gods get tattoos? I mean I guess so, but how? I have questions. But I am not interested in anyone but Andrew.
"No you are not." Which earns me a groan from the girls. I grab Dolus' arm and pull him into the bedroom and close the door.
"Ah so you wanted me all to yourself?" Dolus runs a finger down my arm.
"No. Just tell me what you needed to tell me." Dolus laughs and moves around my room and focuses his attention to my vanity.
"If your charming friend hadn't put the stone in her wine, were you ever going to call on me?" He glances over to me. His scent has already filled the room, he smells like leather and campfire, he smells like outside.
"Yes, no, maybe. I've just been busy. And if I'm being honest I'm tired." I huff.
"Tired?"
"Tired of having to deal with larger problems than my own." I sit down on the bed.
"I see." He turns to look at me and then kneels in front of me.
"Then this can wait. Go have fun with your friends, get married. This problem will still be here later." I look at him strangely.
"You and I will have an endless amount of time to solve all the world's problems. This life you are living is limited. I can wait. I don't need to be your first, I want to be your last." He tucks a strand of hair behind my ear, kisses my forehead. "Congratulations." He whispers and then he was gone. My body feels warm and tingly all over. WHAT THE HECK WAS THAT?! I hear a knock at the door.
"Lina?!" I get up and open the door. Rachel is there looking concerned and looks around the room.
"Who was that Lina? You don't really have some hot guy on retainer, do you?"
"No, he's a God who was helping us before. He had some problem he needed help with. But he said it could wait until after the wedding."
"Ok good. Let's get ready to go." Rachel says. Everyone grabs a jacket and heads for the lobby. We pile into a car and head to the club. The car pulls up to a large building with a line out front and music you could hear from inside the car. We get out and head for the door. I could see the people in line giving us looks, they were not happy we were walking in past them. We get to the door and we are greeted by two large men in suits.
"Hold up ladies. Your names?" One of the beefy men asks holding up a clipboard.
"High Alpha Catalina Black's party." Both of the men bow immediately. I forget I have rank now. The men pull back the curtain and we walk in. This place is like nothing I have ever seen. There is a bar that seems to run the entire length of the building, that glows blue and purple. There is a large dance floor filled with people. There is a second floor that over looks the first. To the side of the dance floor is a higher level sitting area. The music is loud and it smells like a mix of sweat, alcohol, and s*x in here. Poppy leads our group to the bar.
"We should get a few rounds before we hit the dance floor." Poppy tries to yell over the music. We all take our jackets off.
"I will take these to the coat check." Rachel says. I know she is avoiding the drinks. Poppy gets us all a round of shots and we throw them back. Cassie gets the next round. We all do two more shots before we head out to the dance floor. It's about this time I start to notice eyes all over us. I don't know if I like the attention we are drawing, but I fear there is no stopping this train. But honestly the night isn't bad. Yes we had a few guys try and dance up on us. Sarah was having the time of her life dancing with every guy we turn down. A few guys tried to bring us drinks, but we only drank shots directly at the bar. No one made a scene or caused problems. Although Poppy definitely had too much to drink and I called Jet to come pick her up. Other than that, the night was really good. Sarah, Cassie, Rachel, and I left the club around 2 am and headed back for the pack house. I wonder what the guys got up to tonight..
Several hours earlier
Andrew's POV
After Rachel basically threw my out of my own apartment, I went to meet Murphy at his place.
"Hey Andrew go get changed we leave in like 30 mins." Murphy says. I head to the spare room and change my clothes. I hear some voices in the living room and head out to greet the guys. In the living room is Murphy, Todd, Alastair, Jet, and Alpha Leon. "Leon what are you doing here man?" I clap him on the back.
"I couldn't miss out on the festivities. I hope you don't mind me crashing your bachelor party."
"Of course not. It's good to see you."
"You too man. Congratulations on getting married, and to the High Alpha. That's impressive. Do you get a fancy title after you get married?" He asks.
"Nah I'll still just be Alpha Andrew."
"Gentlemen a toast. To our boy Andrew. Congratulations on replaceing your mate and not dying!"
"Ha ha ha. Very funny."
"I'm just joking. I hope you guys live full happy lives together." Murphy raises his glass and everyone follows. Everyone downs their drinks and we head out to a car waiting for us. We head to the distillery on the edge of town. We get there and we had our own private room with cigarette girls, which are girls that carry a tray in this case of different cigars around their necks wearing short skirts and low cut tops. The room had a few poker tables in the middle and a bar on the side with our own personal bartender. Murphy got everyone a round of shots and we threw them back.
"Poker anyone?" Murphy asks.
"Only if I don't lose all my life savings." Leon says.
"No no just friendly games. We're here to have a good time, not ruin lives." Murphy says. We all take another shot and then take seats around the poker table. The bartender is also the poker dealer. We spend the rest of the night playing poker, drinking, and smoking cigars. Towards the end of the night Jet gets a call from Lina saying Poppy should get picked up, and he left. Todd and Murphy got pretty hammered, while Alastair looked like he never had a drink, lucky Fae. We all stumbled our way back to the pack house around 3 am. Overall, it was a great night out with my guys.
