"Well, duh," I huffed. "As if you're allowed to not love me," I muttered but reached back to lightly stroke Aurelia's head. "Can't I know a glimpse of what's going on?"
I'd be lying if I said her behavior didn't worry me in the slightest. I wanted to ease her worry, ease whatever shit show was going on behind the scenes, but my plate was so fucking full.
"They need me because a very important position is coming up," she whispered. "It's a big deal for our family because Clementines always take the chair. They know that they can't talk their way into getting this position and money doesn't count. It's all power, and I'm the only one in the family now with enough to be considered worthy of the position. The result is chosen for one who carries enough magic and desires change. It also demands the person to be balanced out with unique power."
"You fit all those qualifications," I noted.
"No, I'm missing one."
"Which is?"
"A symbolic pendant from a mate," she muttered into my shoulder.
"But that's something that will come along the way. They're not going to overlook you over that. That's in Mother Moon's hands and not the Coven."
"I agree with you," she admitted. "That's what I've been saying, but it's just been a bit stressful."
"You're a badass magical concoction bitch, Aurelia! Don't worry about the odds. Whatever happens will come to pass if it's for your greater good. If it's not, fuck it. You deserve happiness, not misery."
"Why does it feel like misery is supposed to be my destiny?" she quietly pondered.
"Cause you're not wearing your normal, outstanding wardrobe," I huffed and turned around to hug her tightly. "Now, misery loves company and my ass doesn't have clothes that fit my usual wardrobe. So, we're going to turn this mall upside down and get you a whole new wardrobe. Then, we're going to eat everything until it feels like we're going to explode, and after that, we're enjoying a drink."
She hugged me back. "Okay. That would make me feel better."
"It better or I'm getting Onyx involved," I threatened.
"Ugh, don't," she groaned. "He's too much of a skilled stalker to waste on my affairs. You know how protective he is. He'll go on a killing chase."
"Probably, but then they'll learn a lesson," I reasoned with a wild smirk that made her cringe.
"It hasn't been a week since you've officially been in the Forbidden Pack and you already enjoy the thrill murder brings."
"Do not." I laughed and pushed her away.
She giggled and shook her head. "It feels good to talk to you. I swear I feel like a hormonal fool."
"And we don't deal with periods," I tossed back, which caused us to burst into laughter.
Her phone began to ring, and she quickly retrieved it only to frown. "Ah fuck. I can't ignore this."
"Go! I'll head into the lingerie store over there," I assured her and pointed to the store. "Onyx gave me spending money."
Aurelia gasped. "Onyx? Gave you spending money?! What?"
She clearly didn't care about the phone call anymore as she stared at me. "I know he spoils you, but when has he ever given you money?"
"And his card," I added.
"Shut up!"
"He got me a linked black card," I voiced.
Aurelia was a smiling fool as she squealed. "Well, shit! Where's the ring?! That's next on the list!"
I laughed and shrugged. "I got royal bond marks for that, apparently."
"We need to look into that," Aurelia stressed.
