Chapter 137 – Sorry Alpha I Am Wolfless Novel

Filed To Story: Sorry Alpha I Am Wolfless Novel

The tingling always made me feel warm so I could feel the heat spreading through me. Soon, I no longer felt the cold snow pressing against my feet. But all too soon, the tingling would die down and the cold would return. Already I could feel it lessening.

I could no longer see my breath puffing out in front of me. My feet still weren’t cold. I felt like the snow was actually as warm as I was. I had a feeling that was not normal.

“Little Bunny?” Joaquin’s voice exclaimed directly into my mind, his voice holding an edge of fear. We had learned that I could receive communications the same way I sent them. And if someone thought a conversation directly to me then they didn’t have to talk. That worked in and out of my wolf form. It was very convenient for private conversations, but we didn’t want it to be public knowledge yet.

“What’s wrong Joaquin?” I was perplexed by his tone.

“What happened to you?” He asked, awe and fear warring this time.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about?”

“You’re covered in ice.” His voice came out in a sigh. “You didn’t notice?”

“What?” I looked down at my legs, sure enough they looked like they were made out of ice and snow. I was in awe staring at the luminescent white ice. It looked like my blue marks didn’t just glow from my face and shoulder now, they seemed to glow through the ice, turning my entire body into a light blue color.

“You never cease to amaze me.” Joaquin said with a voice full of pride. “And you look beautiful as hell.”

“Oh hush.” I said sheepishly, embarrassed. “So what does this mean?” I asked him.

“That we need to play in the snow more.” He joked. “We need to learn more about this Ice form of yours.” He was right of course, we would need to explore it more.

I didn’t know what I would be capable of in that form, and I would have to figure out how to get there without snow. But hopefully it would come in handy at some point.

We wrapped up our training session after that. It was valentines day, our first one. Joaquin had planned an evening out of it. He wouldn’t tell me what the plans were, just told me to be ready to go by five.

I dressed nice, but not too formally. He had told me that we would not be going anywhere that needed formal wear. I chose a simple, sleeveless, a-line dress in midnight blue and a pair of black ballet flats. It would be nice if we went somewhere important, I needed to be presentable, but also comfortable and easy to wear if we were somewhere more private.

We had Shane drive us to the airport, Joaquin and I sitting in the back.

“Why the airport?” I asked as we got out of the car, we had been taken to a private runway and not the main entrance. Joaquin went to the trunk to retrieve a small bag.

“We’re going out of town.” He smiled. “Come on, stop worrying.”

“Just tell me where.” I pleaded.

“No, just wait.”

We ended up taking a helicopter from the airport. The view of all the mountains from this height was breathtaking. I was in awe, starting out the window intently for the entire twenty minute flight.

I expected we would have been taken to another airport. Instead, the helicopter touched down in front of a very large, and very beautiful, cabin. It was made of stone and log and nestled in the mountains. There were no cars around, just us in our helicopter.

Joaquin held out a hand to help me down, pulling me into his arms for a tight embrace.

“They will be back to get us tomorrow afternoon. But we now have this place all to ourselves.” He smiled at  me.

“This is amazing.” I hugged him tight.

“You haven’t even seen it all yet.” He laughed.

“I don’t need to see it to know it’s going to be amazing.”

Joaquin took me inside to show me the cabin. It was huge, with multiple bedrooms, but only the master suite had been prepared. It came complete with a king sized bed with a large sky light over it for viewing the stars while laying in bed, and an option to close metallic shutters over it. There was also an enormous bathroom attached to it. It wasn’t as grand as mine, but I didn’t think any bathroom ever would be.

There was a small deck off the master suite with walls up on the sides. But sitting there in the middle of the deck was a natural hot spring. It was a beautiful site that overlooked another, even more beautiful site of the mountains.

When we got to the kitchen and dining area I saw that someone had come ahead of us and prepped dinner. Whoever they were, they had to have left just recently as the food was still warm and fresh. Steak, thick, juicy and grilled to perfection, baked potatoes, grilled asparagus, and even a salad. A bottle of wine and two glasses sat waiting for us on the table.

“I can’t believe you did this.” I told him.

“I wanted to be with just you for our first valentines day.” He pulled me into his arms again and gave me a quick kiss.

“I love you.” I told him.

“And I love and adore you.” He whispered against my lips.

We enjoyed our meal together. It was delicious and just what I would have wanted. After the meal Joaquin took my hand and led me to the living room.

“I have something for you.” He said as he started to reach for whatever gift he had gotten for me.

“I got you something as well.” I told him. “Though it’s not much. I couldn’t decide.”

I  added sheepishly.

“Anything from you is fine, as long as it doesn’t say Fido again.” He laughed.

“Not this time.” I laughed as well. “Can I give you mine.” He nodded.

I went to the bedroom and grabbed the small box I had for him. He took it from me when I got back and opened it. There were two things in the box. The first was a silver pendant on a leather rope. The silver pendant was of a wolf’s head, it went down around the sides like the shoulders and front legs. Just below the nose and nestled into the side parts was a set of stones, a sapphire, an emerald, and a black diamond. Blue for me, green for him, and black for his wolf.

The second thing in the box was much more simple. It was a yin yang necklace split into two pieces. One side had a white wolf’s face, the other a black wolf’s face. The black part of the necklace didn’t have a chain, the white half had been attached to a keyring.

“I figured we could split the yin yang. We will always be carrying the other half, you make my life worth living and completed something I didn’t know was missing. So, I wanted to show you that you’re my other half.” I was getting sappy and sentimental.

“That’s amazing, Little Bunny, you complete me too.” He smiled at me. “Now time for mine.” He grinned and slid to the floor in front of me. He pulled a small black box out of his pocket and opened it in front of me. I gasped at the sight.

In the box was a beautiful platinum ring. There was a line of six black diamonds on each side. At the top of the ring there was a layer of metal petals so that it formed a lotus flower. In the center of the lotus blossom was at least a 1 carat round diamond. It sparkled in the light coming from the lamp nearby.

I covered my mouth looking at the beautiful ring in front of me.

“Riviana, my Little Bunny, you are the love of my life. I never want to know what my life is like without you, I need you with me. As you said, you make my life worth living, you make me whole. I promise to do my best to do right by you for as long as I live. Will you marry me?” His words took me completely by surprise. I had not expected this from him, at least not yet.

“Joaquin?” I breathed, unable to say much. “Are you sure?” I asked him. This was a big moment.

“I’ve never been more certain of anything, besides the fact that I love you with everything I am.”

“Joaquin.” I sighed his name as I cupped his face. I pressed a quick kiss against his lips as I fought to hold back the tears.

“Is that a yes?” He joked.
