The Love of a Lycan Chapter 1115: In another life (2)

“Are you sure this outfit is alright?” Calleb looked at his reflection in the mirror and asked for Raine’s opinion again. He couldn’t hide his nervousness.

Raine sighed in exasperation at Calleb’s question for the hundredth time. How many more times did she have to say that there was nothing wrong with the clothes, or his hairdo, or with the bouquet of flowers he was carrying?

“You’re so annoying,” Bree said. The little girl sat on the sofa watching Raine, who seemed to be on the verge of losing her temper while answering Calleb’s never ending questions.

“Thank you Bree, you said what I wanted to say the most,” Raine said softly to Bree before casting an irritated look at the Beta. She then sat down beside the little girl.

“I know you are on the verge of losing your temper with him.” Bree held out the box of chocolates she was holding and Raine took one out of it.

“You two suck,” Calleb grumbled, pouting.

That night, Calleb wanted to take Rossie out for dinner. He would pick her up at her house, of course after meeting her parents as well as her two twin brothers who looked just as scary when Torak was angry. Well, maybe Calleb was exaggerating a little, but what he wanted to say was; asking his mate out on a date was not easy.

“Didn’t you say you wanted your partner to be a home girl who was closely guarded by her family?” Raine reminded Calleb of his own words from years ago. “Congratulations! Looks like Selene had heard what you said and granted it.”

“No, this is too much. I feel like I am about to go to war every time I step foot in her house,” Calleb said in a pitiful tone, ruffling his hair again in frustration.

“But you still go to visit her,” said Bree, munching on her chocolate.

“Of course, I miss her,” Calleb sighed.

Bree stuck her tongue out. The little girl still didn’t understand what Calleb was feeling right now.

“Can’t Torak give the order for Rossie to stay here?”

“You want to force her to stay with you?” Raine raised an eyebrow, criticizing Calleb.

“Raine,” Calleb grumbled. “You make it sound really bad! You know that’s not what I meant,” the Beta grumbled, annoyed.

Raine and Bree laughed again, it was fun to tease Calleb and this became their new hobby every time Calleb went to Rossie’s house.

“Everything has been prepared, isn’t it?” Raine asked as she gathered Bree’s hair before tying it into a ponytail. This girl sometimes did not pay attention to herself and often acted casually, although at times she was very reliable, after all she was a dragon shifter. “Then go, don’t keep her waiting. This is not your first time visiting her house.”

================ 

“Remember! I want her to be home before it hits Twelve.” Sterling warned Calleb again and again.

Meanwhile Calleb could only say yes, because there was nothing he could do under the fierce gazes of Rossie’s twin brothers and her father, while his partner still hadn’t come out of the room.

At this rate, Calleb felt that it would be better to fight ten lycan warriors at once…

“And don’t kiss my sister on the lips,” Ian added. He folded his arms in front of his chest, showing that he has more dominance over the Beta.

Whoops! This little boy! Calleb grumbled.

If only Ian wasn’t Rossie’s older brother, then he would be happy to show what it meant to be dominated.

However, all the negative feelings that Calleb felt vanished when Rossie walked out of her room, looking very elegant, beautiful and sweet in a white dress and a matching bandana.

She wore a knee-length dress and also a pastel yellow outer.

Seeing his mate, Calleb really had to find another word for ‘beautiful’, because ‘beautiful’ alone could not describe Rossie in his eyes.

Well, maybe Calleb was being unfair, since Rossie was his mate, but he would beat anyone who dared say otherwise.

However, his vision suddenly darkened when Ethan covered his eyes with his palm. “Don’t look at my sister like you’re going to eat her at once.”

“Can’t I eat her?” Calleb commented. The words just slipped out of his mouth without thinking and instantly the room was filled with a low growl that sounded dangerous.

Ugh! This was the original definition of; entering a wolf den…

“I was just kidding, I was just kidding,” Calleb corrected himself. He didn’t want them to change their minds and forbid Rossie to go out with him.

Hell! Calleb wouldn’t be going anywhere even if they kicked him out now without taking Rossie to the restaurant he had booked.

“How?” Sophia gently pushed her daughter forward, while Rossie smiled sweetly at Calleb. She walked closer to her mate.

Maybe at the start of their relationship, she seemed shy around Calleb, but the mate bond between them helped things get better.

Rossie felt comfortable with this man and she would find herself smiling so widely or feeling so excited every time she thought about him.

It sounds stupid and a little cheesy, but that’s how she felt.

“How do I look?” Rossie asked, and twirled in front of Calleb, ignoring the grumblings of the three men behind her.

“You are so beautiful,” Calleb said sheepishly, he touched the back of his neck, his habit whenever he felt shy.

“Of course my daughter is beautiful,” Sterling chimed in, but Rossie glared at him.

“Shut up dad,” Rossie grumbled. She then looked back at Calleb. “You are not so bad yourself.” She then tiptoed and kissed Calleb on the lips without hesitation.

For a moment, Calleb was silent. He was beyond surprised as he didn’t expect Rossie to be so brave. His chest felt like it was going to explode with joy, especially when Rossie did it right in front of her family members, but the fierce gazes of the three pairs of eyes in the room reminded him of the critical situation he had to face after that brief kiss.

Calleb immediately raised his hands and hurriedly said. “Not me. I didn’t kiss her. She kissed me first!”
