The Alpha's Human Mate

thirty eight

I have been in Alaska for two days now. Those two days have been filled with last-minute changes and DIYing for the wedding which is tomorrow. Kat has been stressed to the max and is the definition of Bridezilla. The girls and I have been doing everything to keep her from losing her mind if she hasn't already.

Tonight is the rehearsal dinner and this was going to be the breaking point for Kat. She had zero decorations or planning for tonight because she didn't even know what a rehearsal dinner was. I have been shopping since 7 am and it is currently 12:30. But after five hours of designing the layout and 3 coffees, Amber and I were headed back home to set up for the dinner.

Lana and Amber have been stringing twinkly lights since 1 and I have been cutting flowers for vases. Not to mention I had just made place settings for 200 people and still had to set the tables.

"Kat better be upstairs relaxing. We are not doing all this work for her to still be going crazy." Lana said laying on the grass, signaling it was time for her to take a break.

"She has been stressed hardcore lately. I thought this wedding was going to drive her rogue." Amber said in a hushed town.

"Nothing could make her crazier than she already is," I said causing them to all laugh.

"True! She needs to just marry her men and get on with making us, little nieces and nephews." Lana said causing us to laugh.

"Speaking of men," Amber turned to me with raised eyebrows. "How is everything with Mr. Alpha?"

I shrugged my shoulders and started playing with the flowers. "I don't know. There have been two encounters where we have said things and only a few moments of eye contact. But I haven't seen him since Tuesday night."

"Maybe you should go talk to him."

"Already have."

"No, like actually talk with him about everything that happens tOo you two, not fake talk about your life being good in California when really you're sad." Lana snapped.

"Dang tell me how you really feel Lana," I said sarcastically. "If I feel the need to talk with him about everything before I leave, I will, but if not then I will leave here and go back to California like nothing ever happened."

"We just want you to be happy with whatever you decide to do. You guys are soulmates after all."

"I can't help but think if things were really going to work, he wouldn't have accused me of cheating and being that disrespectful to me. Really, thank you but I really can't think of what I need to do right now." I said going back to the flower vases. They understood where I was coming from and I knew they just ate due to be happy. After about another hour and a half of decorating, Kat ran downstairs to tell us we need to get ready for the reception rehearsal.

I hurried up the stairs and quickly rinsed off my body. I applied a little bit of concealer and mascara and a hint of blush to my cheeks to stay natural. It wasn't as cold here, but it was still in the 50s and 60s, which is warm for Alaska. I pulled on black jeans, boots, and a chunky sweater.

I walked downstairs and out to the garden area of the packhouse to see everyone standing there. I saw Kat walked up to me and say, "Okay, you're here, wait, where's Drew?"

"I'm right here, everyone can chillax." his deep voice said from behind me. I refused to look turn around but I could feel his warmth radiating and his eyes staring at my back.

"This is my day Mr. and it needs to be perfect." Kat scolded him.

"Okay Ms. Princess, tell us what to do."
