The Lycan’s Contract Mate

Arielyn

“Sorry to disappoint you, my beautiful bride-to-be,”

I said and she looked out of the window, I did too, and I let out a sigh, she was filling my head with ideas and I was making a mistake by letting them get into my head, my mind wandered back to the day I first met Ken, that night on the rooftop and to the kisses we shared, I couldn’t deny I felt some connections that night and maybe I would have thought more of it if I didn’t know who he was.

“What’s stopping you now, we both know he is different,”

Ae said and to some extent, I agree with her but the truth is I was scared, scared of what might happen if something did happen between us and I end up feeling more hurt in the end, thinking about it now, maybe that’s the reason I never dated anyone after what happened with Jordan, maybe I was too scared of having it all wrong again and I don’t want to have it wrong with Ken, what was I even thinking about, the man doesn’t see me like that, it was all in my head and I had Ae and Rose to blame for it.

“We are here,”

Rose announced and I let out a relieved sigh, glad that I could get out of my head. Our day went by busily, first, we got fitted and the designer made some much-needed adjustments to me and Rose’s dresses, after which she made an appointment for us to come back for a final fitting, after that, we went to see the hairstylist and got our hair done as part of the wedding service, we picked out the styles we wanted for the wedding and went to get our nails and hair done, Rose practically dragged me everywhere with her and when we were finally done, it was already a few minutes past four pm.

“Want to go grab a late lunch? I am so hungry,”

Rose asked as we walked back to her car, I felt bad for the driver who had to drive us to our various destinations.

“Are you sure, you can always eat at home,”

I said but Rose disagreed.

“I haven’t had you to myself all day since you got back here, please, have lunch with me,”

She pleaded and I sent an apological glance to the driver who didn’t seem to mind, we got back in the car and he drove us to a restaurant ten minutes away, we and lunch and I offered to help her so that her stress would be reduced of course it took a while to convince her that it was okay for me to help her and she finally agreed so now, I was in charge of handling the guest list and making sure the right tables are reserved for them.Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

“I am so tired I just want to go home, take a bath, and fall into a deep sleep,”

Rose said as we walked out of the restaurant together.

”Arielyn!!!

I heard my name being called and turned around to see Jordan waving at me and smiling like we were friends and close, the last time I saw him, he almost got beaten to death by his brother, the thought of that made me laugh, bad time because the bastard smile widen.

“Wait, you guys are cool now?”

Rose asked. I could hear the surprise in her voice, I wiped my head and glared at her.

“Why would I do that? Do I look stupid to you?”

I asked. I was offended that she would even think that.

“Sorry, but you were laughing with him so I thought,”

“You thought wrong Rose, I remembered something funny, Ken gave him a good beating the last time we met,”

I told her and her expression turned to one of interest.

“Just know I am going to bug you for the details later,”

she said as Jordan got to us, I could feel Ae get angry when he did.

“Arielyn, it is good to see you hear,”

He said and I was speechless for a moment, what did he just say to me?

“Do I look pleased to see you? Why call out my name like that?”

I asked wanting to be out of his presence already, the man irritated me so much.

“Arielyn, you and I have a special relationship, I don’t know if you remember but I do, no matter what you say and how you try to act around me, it won’t change the fact that I am your special person,”

He said. Rose started laughing at his words, I couldn’t blame her, he was funny for real, his choice of words and the way he was standing so confidently in front of me and saying those words was so funny, I couldn’t help but laugh too.

“What’s funny?”

He asked.

Rose, let’s go, I don’t have time to waste with clowns like this, I rather go back home and play video games,”

I said pulling Rose who was still laughing along with me.

“Arielyn, you will be hearing from me, you can’t get rid of me,”

Jordan called after us and I ignored it, if he shows up in front of me again, I will make sure to give him a good kick there.

“You know, I am happy you didn’t end up with that idiot, I am not saying you deserve what happened to you but I think you dodged a bullet when he did what he did, imagine being stuck with someone like that, that would be hell,”

Rose said when we got back into the car, I agreed with her, I went through hell when Jordan had rejected me but seeing the kind of sick loser he turned out to be, I would gladly go through that hell again if it means I do not end up stuck with him for life, I am so thankful we completely broke things off when he rejected me, nothing was left and he had no hold on me.

“Me too Rose, I am glad he did what he did, anyway, please do take a rest once you get home and let others handle things, you have done enough, we can’t have our bride looking all stressed on her wedding day,”

I said, patting her shoulder.

”Thank you so much for being such a great friend Arielyn, I can’t imagine my life without you
