Date? Girlfriend!

Chapter 6: Arianna's POV

It took a week for me to stop crying and not trying to feel sorry for myself. I needed to get over the fact that Ezra isn't going to come to my house saying how wrong he was that he chose someone else and wanted to be with me. Ella and Mandy have been trying to get me out of the house but I just couldn’t right now.

After a month I was getting back into my old routine, going to the school and helping Ms. Torres teach the class, training with the pack, hanging out with my friends, and being with my family again.

I’m in my room sitting on my bed, looking up at the stars, I think about how I’m going to be better off without Ezra and how I’m going to do something with my life and if I do find someone out there, they will love me for me and will accept as I will do them. I lay down on my bed, finally ready to move on with my life. Its also my birthday tomorrow and I get to shift for the first time and I'm ready to see what my wolf looks like. I wonder if I'll look like my moms wolf, I then drift off to sleep.

The sound of my alarm wakes me up, it’s time to get up for training. I have another headache; they are really starting to get on my nerves and taking medicine isn’t cutting it anymore.

I get dressed and run to the training field and I see Mandy and Ella there waiting for me. “Hey birthday girl, you ready to kick some ass”, Ella says. “You know I’m always down”, I said jokingly.

“Alright, listen up”, Alpha Carlos says with Chris standing next to him,” As most of you know my son Chris will be having his Alpha Ceremony this weekend, as we plan for the celebration doesn’t mean we are to slack off. We have been more random rogue attacks and we must be prepared when then do. Today and tomorrow will be training longer so the rest of the week, then I’ll have teams split during the week at the border patrol. Also, we will be having The Lycan King coming down for his help with the rouge attacks and for the Chris’s ceremony.”

Everyone is shocked that The Lycan King is coming down here to help us out. I know all the girls are especially excited to meet the king. But I would be very scared, we have heard the stories of he is strong and is heartless to anyone and everyone. I would try my best to stay away from him.

“Great job everyone, stay safe, you’re dismissed.” Alpha Carlos shouted. “Yes Alpha.”

I walk up to my friends, and I can already hear them talking about the king.

“Oh.My.Goddess. I can’t believe the king is coming here. We have to shopping and find something to wear. I hope he notices me!” Mandy squeals. “Not after he stops to notices me first.” Ella joking tells Mandy. I stand there laughing at them.

“Come on guys, he’s going to be busy with Alpha Carlos and with the ceremony, I doubt he will even say hi to us. And why would you want to talk to him, haven’t you heard what they say about him! I’m staying from away from him,” I said. They look at me like I’m crazy. “You're Ms. Badass, no one should scare you,” Ella says to me punching my arm.

“Yeah, normal werewolves but he is a The Lycan King, thanks but no thanks,” I said to them. Mandy grabs my and Ella’s arm,” Fine but I still want to go shopping, I want to look irresistible.” We all laugh as were walking off the field, we were stopped by Chris.

“Hey Aria, can I talk to you real quick?,” he says nervously. I let go of my friend’s arms and walk up to Chris. I ask him,” What’s up?”. “I wanted to say Happy Birthday and... I know you this is sudden, but I wanted to ask if you would want to be my date for my ceremony?” He asks.

I couldn’t believe he just asked me to be his date! Wait, is he feeling sorry for me?

“Oh... Chris if you’re just asking me because you feel sorry for me, I’d rather not,” I say sadly. He grabs my hands; I gasp and so does my friends. “No, I’m not... I mean… Aria, I have always liked you, and since neither of us are mated. I want us to go together, and I wanted to ask you to be my girlfriend?” My heart is pounding so loud, I don’t know what say.

I'd always had a crush on him, but I never thought this would ever happen. And it’s true we aren’t mated to anyone so I’m finally going to do what makes me happy.

“Yes, I would love to be your date and to be your girlfriend,” I say with a big smile on my face. He lights up, picks me up and spins me around then gives me a kiss on my cheek. I start to blush,I wanted him to kiss me on my lips but I guess he wanted to take baby step right now. I turn to see my friends squealing and jumping, they are so happy for me as am I.

“Oh my goddess, we were on our way to go shopping, but I can call you later, okay?” I said. He gives me a kiss on my hand,” Okay, I’ll let you go and pick out a nice dress for me,” he says as he winks at me. I walk back to my friends and wave goodbye; he waves back and rejoins his father. I’m sure he is going to tell he asked me to be his date.

“I can’t believe he asked you to be his girlfriend! I’m so happy for you!” Ella says. “I’m happy for you too, you deserve someone like Chris,” Mandy said to giving me a hug.

I knew better things were coming, I just didn’t think it would happen so soon. “I must find the perfect dress. I really want to impress Chris,” I tell my friends. We take off home to change and head towards the mall, now were off to find the perfect dresses for the ceremony. Best Birthday Ever!
