Chapter 0413 - Josie - Of course he would be here, members of the Clear Waters pack were also invited, leaving only a select few behind to keep any eye on the borders.
This was a pack party on both sides after all.
The celebrations were in full swing. Music played by a live performer and back up band, a full spread of food for guests to help themselves, tables dressed in keeping with the beach thand a bar...which was incredibly busy. The night was going to be one to remember. I can feel him watching me, feel his intense gaze but I'm looking for my mate instead, who I find battling his way at the bar.
I had nothing to say to George, we were nothing. I can't believe I was willing to live a half life with him when I can now see a full life with Kit. I didn't just have to survive anymore I would be thriving.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI had nothing to say to him and perhaps him watchingwalk to Kit will make him see that I have no interest in him any more.
If it were me, I wouldn't have cto my ex's parent's wedding, I would have remained and guarded the borders. But maybe that's the difference between the two of us. He knows how to test limits...usually mine.
I go out of my way to avoid him, moving through the crowd of guests as I make my way to Kit who is standing at the bar. He growls openly at the crowd around him, his aura demanding that they move aside for me. I roll my eyes, but can't help the way my stomach dips at his possessiveness and protectiveness. His hands wrap around me, enveloping his muscular arms and fraroundbefore he breathes in the scent around my neck.
"You look damn fine!" He breathes out as his hands move down to my butt before givinga small tap of affection.
"Drink?" He places a champagne flute in my hands, the cold bubbles dancing in the back of my throat as I take a long sip. I needed this, I had been on edge expecting Mum to bolt for the door. Now that the ceremony part was over, I could let my hair down...relax slightly and dance the night away.
I was secretly praying that Kit hadn't noticed about a certain guest being here, I really don't want any tonight. This is about Mum and Dad.
"Relax, you're so tense. Everything was perfect." "It was, wasn't it." I take a deep breath in, relaxing my shoulders. Kit was right, everything was perfect. George wouldn't cause any issues tonight, why would he...it would reflect badly on him.
The music hushes as both Mum and Dad are welcomed onto the dance floor for their first dance as a newly married couple. I watch in awe as Dad twirls her, dips her...kisses her upon her collarbone, much to the cheer of the surrounding audience. They were perfection. It was like they were teenagers again.
I spot my brothers sitting down, both with a beer in hand laughing with their group of friends. I head over, intrigued as to what they were discussing when Cleo beatsto it.
I can only see the back of her as she bravely walks over to the cackling group of lads, her hair tied up on a bun, her back open with a dark navy dress that makes her look older than she is.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe males continue to giggle, except for Jace, his eyes are on her, watching her descend towards them.
It's hard to hear her quiet words over the noise of their laughter and the music, but I get the gist as Jace coldly glares at her, before shaking his head and turning his back on her.
I can see the disappointment in her demeanour, she had asked him to' hada dance...ah he had coldly rejected her. What was his problem.
I take a step closer, preparing to console her as she turns, her face! bright red from embarrassment...only for Jaxon to step in.
