Page 69 of The Alpha King's Heart: His Rejected Mate
"Yes, my parents were in the army so they made something, and gave me my inheritance,"
"oh, I'm sorry about you're parents," I said and she chuckled.
"They are not dead, Silly,"
"Oh,"
"They traveled, and I asked for it.Trust me, those men are not dying anytime soon and I couldn't continue living on a Teacher's salary," she explained." I have two dads,"
I did pick up on that.I smiled and squeezed her hand " Where is the tequila?"
"Yes!Shots!"she screamed, pulling me towards the kitchen.We each took our shots but decided it wasn't enough, so we drank half of the bottle.
We quickly got ready and got into the elevator.Once on the ground floor and outside, there was an escalade waiting for us; " Is that ours?"I asked.A tall man held the door open for us.
"Yes, Chuck sent it.He does want to treat me like a princess," she beamed.We went to the car and entered, two bouquets of red roses and bottles of champagne were there with a card.
"Enjoy your night, ladies,"
"He's so sweet," I said and she nodded.
"I didn't ...know," she looked uncertain.She didn't know what to expect from this relationship I'm sure so all this was new
"I didn't know what to expect," she murmured.I caressed her hair and smiled at her.
"Don't fight it, you won't win...just enjoy," I said.Her dark brown eyes held so many emotions.
"Yes!"she breathed sharply, grabbing a bottle and opening it.
We were too busy drinking and having fun when the driver announced that we have arrived at our destination.
He opened the door for us and my mouth fall open at the sight before my eyes.
"The palace," I whispered.I couldn't believe it.We were coming here.
It was bigger than I'd seen on Tv or in magazines.The building was over 110 meters, and we were in front of an incredible garden that had a huge water fountain in the middle.
"Surprise!"Monique hugged me from behind.My heart started to pound as we walked towards the entrance and I was most grateful I dressed up because everyone I looked at was elegant and beautiful, their necks and wrists adorned in expensive jewelry.
We linked our arms together as we entered the halls of the palace.
"Oh my lord, this is crazy.This is beyond my imagination," Monique whispered in my ear and I nodded.We entered a huge ballroom, and I could feel eyes on me.I raised my head as we found our spot.
A waiter brought us champagne immediately, and we took it.
"Is it me or are we getting attention," I murmured.
"I mean, look at us," she said confidently, gesturing to her stunning dress that accentuated her breast size and shaped her round ass." We are glamorous,"
"Indeed," I smiled and we clicked glasses, and drank.
My eyes roamed around the room, hoping I'd see someone I recognized but I didn't.I wondered if my mate or any of the girls will be in attendance but I doubted that because no one told me about it.People were discussing and others were dancing on the dance floor.I wish I could dance like that with Wyatt.
"Hello, beautiful ladies," Two men approached us, they were good looking and one could tell they were of high class and of high position from the aura they radiated.
"Hello," Monique and I said at once.
"I'm Richard and this is my friend, Gilbert," They introduced, with charming smile.
