novelxo Chapter The setup
POV Rasheed:
“Alpha Anton, I was hoping to have a conversation with you.”
“Sure, want to go to my office?” Alpha Anton asks.
I nod and we head to his office, and I am beyond nervous. I noticed the little animosity between them earlier. I’m hoping everything goes smoothly. We both sit down, and I can’t stop sweating.
“I already know what you want to talk about. I was the same way when I asked Belle’s father, but I will give you the opportunity to ask me.” Anton smiles.
“I would like to ask for Gianna’s hand in marriage. I have known from the very beginning that she was the one for me. I would like to promise the world and beyond for your Princess.”
“Indeed, is she is a Princess in more ways than you think. You have my blessing” Anton says cryptically.
Not sure what he means, I jump up to my feet and rush back to the conference room hoping to recruit some help with planning. I enter the room and walk up to Storm and Sierra.
“While Alpha Gianna is away, I needed all the help I can get. I want to ask Gianna to marry me tonight. I need some help planning. I know she loves to bake, and I wanted to have something set up at her bakery. I’m just not good with planning romantic stuff like that.”
Sierra and Storm both let out an ear-piercing scream.
Everyone turns to look at us and Alpha Anton and my dad smile at me.
“Alright calm down. Calm down.” I chuckle. “Finally, she is getting her King, she is too strong headed to admit it, but she is head over heels in love with you. I haven’t seen her smile this much since Lucas.” Storm says.
She instantly covers her mouth as Sierra nudges her.
“I’m sorry for your loss Sierra, I can’t even think about how you must feel to lose your brother and your twin at that.” I say.
“It was a while ago but thank you. Now let’s get started planning before she comes back.” Sierra says.
“Okay, so I was thinking we can get her there by saying we got a huge order, and it is for tomorrow afternoon. We came to help her out since it was a last-minute order. You know she hates when things are not thoroughly planned out.” Storm laughs.
“Do you want people to be there when you ask or just the two of you?” Sierra asks.
“I prefer just us two, then have a little get together after with her favorite foods and make sure you have lots of Hennessy. We both love it! I’m not sure if it is cheesy, but I was wondering if I should have Onyx there with her. I would love to ask to be his daddy, but I’m not sure if she would want that. I want her to know that I am not just wanting her, but also Onyx.”
“OMG!!!! I see why she likes you so much, you have a way with words King Rasheed.” Storms says.
“Oh, can we see the ring? Maybe we can bring in tones of the ring for the decorations.” Sierra suggests.
“Sorry ladies, but the first woman I want to see the ring is my Queen, and the ring isn’t here yet. Trigger, my Beta is on his way to retrieve it. We can go with Silver, White, and Black colors for the party. I don’t want the whole pack there, just our immediate family and friends. I know she doesn’t eat too many desserts that she has not made, so maybe you can find something in her bakery that would be okay for the party.”
“No worries, we got this. We only have one other question for you. What do you want her to wear?” Sierra asks.
“I know she is not a huge girly girl, so anything she is comfortable in. I see she likes jeans and a simple graphic top. I’ll give you ladies my card to get everything together and you guys can get an outfit as well since you have helped me so much.”
I hand them my diamond black card and their eyes nearly bulge out their heads. I just hope they can get everything done before tonight. Before my nerves get the best of me, I smell my mate approaching me. Man, I am blessed by the goddess she is gorgeous.
As she enters, she beams the biggest smile at me, and I feel my legs go weak. As she heads to her seat she looks around and the smile is replaced with her aloof look. Such a strong leader, she was made for me by the goddess.
Let’s just hope all goes well and she says yes tonight.
