“I haven’t really thought that far ahead,” I replied with a small pout.
“Hmm, we all know Uncle loved you pregnant… I bet he wants to impregnate you again,” Raihana teased, making Kiara blush before we all started laughing. I smiled. I truly had made some really good friends. I had a family that was irreplaceable.
Everyone had finallyfinished getting dressed. Music was blasting through the house, the sound of shouting and excitement filled the air, and strong smells of expensive fragrances and delicious foods mingled pleasantly.
“My sexy beast, please make sure they don’t dirty their dresses,” Kiara’s voice flitted in through the window.
Mama Mari entered the bedroom with a soft, graceful smile on her face. I stood up, and she came over to me, gently cupping my face.
“You look beautiful… I am so proud to have been gifted a daughter like you.”
“Thank you, Mama Mari,” I said softly, hugging her tightly. She hugged me back, and although I lost one mother and Papa Raf, I still had her. She stepped away.
“Well, I’ll send Rayhan up.” She left the room, and I turned away, gazing into the mirror.
Everyone was already outside, Rayhan and I would be going together. I had missed him; I hadn’t seen him all afternoon. I waited in the room patiently for my king. I looked in the mirror in our bedroom at my reflection. The fact that I was actually becoming Luna officially, ready to take my place by Rayhan’s side, seemed surreal. I took a deep breath just as his scent hit my nose, and I felt his intense gaze upon me.
Rayhan
I had beenitching to see my kitten all afternoon, but Mom, Ri, and Kia refused to let me.
“The documents and passports are here… and your stuff is all packed,” Rose said to me, holding out anenvelope. She was dressed in a green evening gown.
“Thanks.” She gave me a smile before lifting their two-year-old son, Shane, whom they’d had via surrogacy. “Hey, kiddo,” I said, ruffling his blond locks. He looked a lot like his mummy. Lola came over, wrapping her arms around her mate and kissing her lips.
“Rayhan, go get Delsanra, and then both of you make your way outside,” Mom said.
She was dressed in a dusky blue gown with sequins all over it, a slit, and ruffled sleeves. I was glad that she had returned more to her usual self as the years went by. Although I knew losing Dad was hardest on her and still affected her.
“Looking good, Mom.” She gave me a smile.
“Thank you, Ya Hayati,” she said softly, cupping my cheek for a moment.
I looked towards the stairs before making my way up them, only to see the little ass making his way upstairs already…
“Oi…” I said. Dante turned, cocking a brow.
“What?” he shot back.
“Where are you going?” I asked.
This kid had an infatuation with Delsanra, and it was annoying. No matter how much I loved him, he was like her fucking shadow when he was around, and that was pretty often. Our families always spent time together.
He was dressed in a shirt and black pants, his curls tumbling over his forehead, and his piercing red eyes stared into mine. One thing was fucking sure, he was a Rossi through and through, and his arrogance showed it.
“To Delsanra,” he stated as if it was obvious, which it fucking was.
“That’s my mate, kid.”
“Dad said people can have two mates.” I froze, staring down at him. Did he just fucking say that? My eyes flashed green, and he simply looked at me like I was a cockroach on the damn wall.
“Yeah… rarely, and I assure you, a twenty-two-year-old woman is not going to be mated to a six-year-old pup.” He smirked.
“There’s sixteen years difference between Mama and Dad... twenty-two take away six is?” With those words, he turned to carry on up the stairs, but I lifted him up and headed back down them. “Let me down, Rayhan!”
“Uncle!” I growled, following my nose until I found Uncle standing in the corner, holding a cigarette, clearly hiding away from his daughters. He raised an eyebrow before smirking as he looked at Dante, whom I had under my arm.
“This-” I struggled to find a word to suit the asshat.
