Chapter 0055
Everything was perfect. Exactly as I had planned. I knew she’d be angry at first but unless she made a
public spectacle of leaving me on the dance floor, I have about four and a half minutes to tell her how I
feel.
I could see the change in her the minute I started telling her about her mother’s and father’s sacrifices.
Her surprise, her mouth dropping open as I went on and on about what her family had done for mine.
As I continued my story, I felt Kai push forward. He wanted Artemis to know that he was also part of
this, that he also appreciated what her parents had done for us. It has the desired effect as I see
Artemis push forward to join the conversation as well.
I was so right about the jewelry. It’s a perfect match to her eyes when Artemis is forward. Her beautiful
eyes which have haunted my dreams. Even though my entire focus is on her, I make sure that we
continue our dance and I’m pleasantly surprised that she does not have any trouble following my lead.
She’s perfect.

I continue to tell her that I’ve wanted to meet her for years, hoping across her at any pack event. Then
letting her know that I want her to get to know me. This is key. I want, no, I need her to fall in love with
me before she turns 18 and Artemis feels the mate bond. I want her to feel it before the bond takes
effect, to know that it is me that she wants in her life.
I can feel her shock at what I’ve said and how she is struggling to adjust her lifetime of thinking about
me with what I’ve just told her. I pull her closer, feeling my body tingling at the contact with her, even
through our clothes. I touch my forehead to hers, needing the skin to skin contact, but also making it
impossible. for her to look away from me. I want her to understand that this is just the beginning. I have
every intention of making her mine, showing her how wonderful our life can be together.
I can tell the minute that it has become a bit overwhelming for her as she changes the subject and asks
about my song choice. She seems completely taken off guard. when I tell her I chose the song for her. I
tell her some of the other choices I went through before choosing this one. I smile internally at her
blush when I mention ” 50 Shades of Grey‘ and asking if that’s her kink. Her blush is beautiful but, as
expected, she ignores my question and pushes back to her original question. I tell her I chose this one
because I had really hoped that she would wear the dress and jewelry I bought her. She did, and she
does look absolutely perfect.
So, when I tell her it was me that got them for her, I’m prepared when her steps

falter and I accommodate to make sure our dancing seems seamless to anyone watching.
When Artemis pushes forward and I hear them both thank us, Kai also pushes forward to reply with
me. He was desperate to have her in our arms, and now that she is, he is calm and content in my
head, practically willing to roll over and show Artemis his belly.
Then she asks me about the jewelry. So, someone recognized what I had done. Not hard if you’ve ever
seen Artemis in her eyes. But then I decide to go a step further and let her know that I’ve been
dreaming about her, hoping she won’t specifically ask about the dreams. She doesn’t ask outright, but
her devious smile gives her away. And, now I’m wondering if she’s been dreaming of me as well.
Goddess I hope so.
When she licks her lips, it is all I can do to not kiss her. I don’t know if she’s ready for that yet and I
don’t want to scare her off. ‘Kiss her! Kiss her!‘ Kai barks in my head. Instead, I tell her I’d rather save
that for our second date, setting it up for her to go out with me at least twice.
When she asks me if I’m counting this as a date and then gives me that grin, it reminds me of the first
lines of All of Me and why I nearly chose that song.
‘What would I do without your smart mouth?
Drawing me in and you kicking me out.
You’ve got my head spinning, no kidding
I can’t pin you down.”
Yeah, she has a smart mouth and one day, very soon, I’ll be punishing those beautiful lips with my own
when she gets smart with me.
But I don’t want her to think of me as her Alpha, I want her to think of me as her lover, her mate, hernovelbin
friend, her partner. So I ask her to call me Rik. I let her know that when I take her out, she will know it’s
a date. I’ve never had a reason or desire to really wine and dine a girl. They always fall at my feet and
don’t seem to expect much from me other than a possibility of being the next Luna, which was never an
option.
