Diana's POV
My body was being squeezed to death as my mom's arms hugged me tightly. My arms were dangling by my sides because I couldn't lift them up and wrap them around her. These mood swings of hers are getting out of control. Still, she is my mad mother and I love her to death. I would deal with her fast-changing moods any day.
"I'm going to cut you up and feed your parts to the rogues." She spoke coldly glaring at me. I blinked slowly surprised with that new line of hers. Well, that was new.
Sighing tried to unwrap her arms that were still tightly around me. "What did I do now?"
"I've missed you so much! Why didn't you call me?" Oh god, she is starting to sound like a clingy girlfriend. Looking around me all I saw was my pack just sitting down or standing up watching us, smiling at my misery.
"I've been busy..." I said thinking back to what I was doing with Camilla instead of calling her this past week.
"Honey, let your poor daughter go she looks like she is going to pass out any minute now." My father's voice sounded behind me causing my mother to instantly let me go so she could jump into his arms. But before they could kiss, like they always do, my mother takes a step back and slaps him pretty hard. I let out a chuckle and his eyes snap over at me making me quickly raise my hands up in surrender. Not every day you see an alpha get bitch slapped, I couldn't help it. My mother was the only one that could do it and get away with it.
"You didn't call me either!" She accused her index finger pointing at him sternly.
Some people laughed but my father's cold brown eyes shut them up on the spot. "I've been busy..." He answered rubbing the back of his head. Our pack really missed my mother and her mood swings so they were enjoying every bit of this. I think I spotted someone eating popcorn in the crowd.
"Both of you are just alike! You even come up with the same lame excuse!" She said annoyed then slowly wrapped her arms around my dad already forgiving him for his lack of communication. I looked away when they started to kiss... did I mention there are mates and deeply in love?
"What did I miss?" I heard a deep sexy voice say in my ear causing shivers to run down my spine. I closed my eyes to not let anyone see how his voice affected me.
"I forgot you were even here," I said smiling to myself when I heard him let out a low growl. Knowing he couldn't touch me, he was probably glaring at the floor like a spoiled five-year-old kid.
"And who is this?" My mother said looking at Angelo. The smile spilled off my face when I was about to say ' my mate '. I was about to give out my secret and it hasn't even been two days. I still needed some time to process I had a mate and not announce it to the whole world.
"I'm Angelo Russell, alpha of the Wildings pack," Angelo spoke politely to her, and it was hard for me to look away from the small smile he was giving her. So, he has a nice side of him after all, or is it an act?
"You're an alpha eh?" My mother said looking in my direction and winking at me, making it obvious to me and everyone watching us. Glaring at her she looked at Angelo who didn't miss the wink she sent me, he was grinning broadly. Idiot. He has no idea what he is in for.
"I'm Erica Harris. It's nice to meet you, Angelo Welcome to the Obsidian pack." My mother said happily and even went as far as hugging him. I could tell she liked him because she never hugged strangers.
Angelo had to stop himself from smiling too much before saying, "It's nice to meet you too."
"Do you know Diana here?" My mom said pointing her index finger at me. Mother!
Urgh...
"Yes, I do-" Angelo began saying before my mother cut him off.
"Don't touch her or I will cut off your balls and feed them to the rogues." She said doing a one-eighty by glaring at him with her bright green eyes the whole time she spoke. Oh god, what is with her and cutting people then afterward feeding it to the rogues? The people around us were eating it up though, laughing as Angelo gulped loudly.
My father laughed, the wrinkles on the side of his face showing how old he really was. Wrapping his arm around her small frame he said, "She is just playing around, don't mind her."
Angelo half smiled but then looked back at me uncertain if she was really serious or not. It made me laugh at his reaction.
Angelo's POV
Diana's mom had long black hair enough that it reached her tiny waist. She had a pair of lovely green eyes and unusually pale skin. She was pretty alright, now I know where Diana got her beauty. But I found it odd that she was staring strangely at me the whole time I was talking to Diana's dad. I'm still not sure if she was serious or not about her threat and I didn't want to risk it to find out.
"Dad, can I talk to Angelo for a minute?" I heard my mate’s alluring voice say behind me. I turned around to see her biting her bottom pink lip. Her brown wavy hair was down this time from her messy bun, framing her beautiful oval face, it just made her look effortlessly sexy. Diana's brown eyes looked into mine before looking away quickly. Did I just spot lust in her eyes for a second?
"Yeah," He answered crossing his arms over his chest while looking at some kid who was trying to pick a fight over a chair.
Diana's soft hand grabbed my arm pulling me away at the right second so no one noticed. Heat coursed through my veins at her touch and I wanted nothing more than to take her hand in mine. We walked through the brick hallway until the sound of people talking became faint whisper. Following her, we entered a large room that had a lot of leather couches and plasma TVs so I'm guessing it was the movie room. I needed to have one of these back where I live, they were definitely becoming more modern here. Diana sighed deeply before letting go of my hand and sitting down on the couch with her head down.
"I think my mother knows," Diana said covering her face with her hands. Keeping in a smile, I sat down next to her, trying not to show my happiness that the secret was already out. If I had placed bets I would have lost all my money on how quick it was.
"Is that so?" I spoke in an uninterested voice, trying to keep any form of cheerfulness away.
"Angelo this is bad!" Diana said getting angry at how I was reacting, her brown eyes looking up at me in a death glare. Catching her by surprise I lifted her up she could sit on my lap instead. My body was burning even more with her sitting on my lap but I enjoyed every second of this torture.
"Now tell dear Angelo here why it's bad." My hands held her in place when she tried to get off. Letting out a puff of air she moved so she was now facing me better, straddling me.
"Fine," Diana laid her hands on my bare chest to keep some distance away. Putting one hand on her lower back to make she didn't fall back and another on her thigh, I waited for her to begin. She blinked those big brown eyes a couple of times, seemed to have forgotten after touching her soft bare skin on her lower back. She always seemed to look adorable when she was trying to think. Finally remembering Diana licked her bottom lip before she began talking.
"She might tell my dad." Playing with the hem of her shirt I nodded for her to continue. The urge to kiss her, to do many things was becoming overwhelming strong. Her scent was the only thing I could breathe in. It was a sweet scent that I will never get enough of.
"My dad will know you're my mate." The only thing I heard was ' you're my mate' but continued to nod to make it seem like I was listening. Sliding my hand up her bare back I felt her start to calm down, her anxiety about the whole situation leaving her mind. Looking into her beautiful brown eyes I waited to hear more. I might have looked relaxed but I wanted to kiss her badly.
"I will have to choose between my family and you." Diana finally relaxed with my touch, her arms slowly wrapping around my neck bringing her face closer towards mine. Her brown eyes were shining with lust making me hold her a little tighter. Was she finally coming around?
Leaning in I kiss her neck softly as my hands went to her ass before speaking in her ear, "If he made you right now... who would you choose?"
Diana shivered and surprised me by pressing herself closer to me. Her eyes were closed as my hands roamed her body softly. I could already feel my heart start to break if she answered me and she didn't choose me, her mate. I really wanted to be the one she chooses, no matter the consequences.
"Would you choose your family and pack," I began to say when she didn't say anything. "Or me your mate who would do anything for you? I will even accept whatever your decision may be if it makes you happy."
Her beautiful brown eyes snapped opened and looked right into mine when I said that. I was serious and I guess she wanted to see if I truly was. Biting her bottom lip again, she shook her head before smiling down at me, a smile that took my breath away.
"Idiot," She whispered while leaning down and pressing her soft lips against mine. Some kind of warmth in my chest appeared when she kissed me and it quickly spread throughout my body. My burning skin calmed down somewhat but it wasn't enough. Kissing her back I pressed her tighter against me, needing her as close as possible but it didn't feel like it was enough. I asked for entrance to her mouth but she didn't give me any, making me growl as she smirked against my lips. My fingers grazed the bottom of her thighs which got her to open her mouth slightly. Using that I let myself in and finally my tongue danced with hers in perfect sync. Her fingers played with the back of my hair making me shiver now and then.
"You know," Diana breathed out as she pulled away, my hands sliding up under her shirt touching her smooth skin. "I still haven't answered you." Diana titled my head up with a hand full my hair to lay a kiss on my lips.
"You don't need to," I said against her lips not wanting to stop kissing those lovely lips of hers. I was addicted to the feel of them pressed against mine. Everything she did was making me want her more because I wasn't feeling satisfied. "Not yet at least, your mom doesn't know for certain."
Nodding her head in agreement, she smiled before kissing me again. Her fingers running down my abs slowly awaking something she better not.
"I knew it." We heard someone say in triumph making both our heads snap to the left where Diana's mom was standing there, her arms crossed over her chest.
...Are my balls going to be cut off and be feed to the rogues?
