Chapter 42

42-He Likes Sexy Time I couldn’t respond to him after he made such a huge claim. I did feel a little shy, but then every time I recalled his actions that night, I felt sad. I wish he hadn’t rejected me. What if I don’t feel the mate bond with him again?

That is why I did not take my medications today. I wanted to feel the mate bond with my mates and see if they could reject I already had the wolfbane in my system, but it was only enough to quiet my wolf a little bit. I was hoping she’d wake up by night, but until then, I’ll investigate what’s wrong with her.

“Let them wander around the mall. We can go look for some cool costumes in the shops outside,”

Maddox whispered in my ear as he sneakily walked past me to reach his father.

He only wanted to let me know what he was planning so that when he suggested the idea, I didn’t back down.

“I don’t think we can find the costumes we are looking for in here. These are for— not to offend anyone but older people. Beatrice and I will go outside and look for something we want,” he suggested without looking at his father, pretending to check out the costumes, and then pulling his nose up in disgust.

“It is not like our age difference is a lot. I am only 12 years older than you,” Mom confidently shrugged her shoulders, which caught Maddox’s attention.

“You are only 32?” The look on Maddox’s face made his father turn to him and then do math in his head, “When did you conceive her?” he questioned, and my mother burst out laughing.

“See! You didn’t ask a question. That means I look young. Oh, and don’t worry, I am not 32. How I wish I was, but I am around 40. However, I am still very young, but not 32,” she pouted. I don’t know why she did all that, but it just seemed like she wasted everybody’s time. Sometimes mom would do these things that would embarrass me, but then again, she had been lonely her entire life. Every time she got to flex her beauty, she didn’t waste the chance.

“Aha!” Maddox nodded, still very confused and pretty lost, “Anyway, what I mean is that these clothes are not— you know,” as he paused, my mom helped him finish the sentence.

“Slutty enough? You want my daughter to wear that kind of disgusting outfit and walk around the street like a whore?” The change in her tone surprised us all. Vasquez locked his gaze on her before gently rubbing Maddox’s injured arm.

“I was just trying to be a good brother. If she goes out wearing these, she will get bullied,” he sighed, not even raising his eyes as she embarrassed him.

“I am sure it is fine. She’s already 18 years old. Let her live her life a little. And because she has the alpha kings taking care of her, she should enjoy every little aspect of life without feeling frightened or scared of others. “Vasquez admired Maddox for taking responsibility for once, so he sided with him while also making sure my mother doesn’t feel bad.

“Till then, I can get you something really expensive for that beautiful neck of yours,” he whispered, and a smile was back on my mother’s lips.

“Okay. But don’t let her buy a too-provocative costume,” she warned Maddox, who nodded and eyed me to follow him immediately before my mother changes her mind. I rushed after him through the crowd, and soon we were out of that mall.

Honestly speaking, I was thankful to him for dragging me out of there. Maybe I was not born for that lifestyle. The ladies were all dressed up and walking around with their Omega maids and servants holding shopping bags for them. It hurt my soul because they were humans, not their shopping carts.

“Let’s buy something good,” Maddox rubbed his palms, walking ahead of me and pointing at one shop, which was liberating the best Halloween energy. The entire shop was filled with costumes and props until the exit.

“Don’t mind what my mother said back there,” I was still feeling bad because I thought she was being too harsh on him. He turned to me and then smiled widely.

“I didn’t mind it. Things like those enter my ear and exit through the other,” he shrugged, holding my hand abruptly and making me follow him through the narrow aisles. It was so suffocating here.

“What about this?” He pointed at a nurse’s costume, but it wasn’t exactly that. The entire outfit was made up of bits and pieces.

“That’s too less of clothes,” I shyly freed my hand from him and frowned at myself.

“So what? I think it is meant for your body type,” he said as he pointed at my body. “You have a voluptuous body. You should be proud of it,” he added.

“But that doesn’t mean I have to show it off. It’s my choice to not show too much skin.” I mumbled, almost annoyed at him.

“Okay! Fine. But you can wear it for your mates in the bedroom,” he casually said under his breath while checking out the dress.

“No!” I shook my head.

“Why not? I would want you to try this one on when I am in the bedroom with you,” he said, then proceeded to take off a sexy witch costume. It was a black corset, too small from the top and then all net in the bottom part, “Just wear cute lingerie under it,” he seemed very interested in that one in particular.

“No! I will find something decent,” I refused and started looking through the section, which wasn’t too vulgar.

“Okay! As you wish,” the amount of disappointment in hist voice made me aware he had lost interest in helping me out.

I picked up a bloody white dress for Bloody Mary, but when I turned around to show it to him, I found him helping another she-wolf pick a dress.

He was nuzzling her back, and she was giggling at his touch. It angered me.
