Now here I sit in complete and utter shock. I had no idea Alphas could be that cruel, sure my previous Alphas weren't so innocent but they could never compare to those ones. My heart ached for Theo, knowing that he wouldn't know how it felt to have a mate, but the selfish side of me was happy.
So my emotions are 50/50 at the moment. Selfish? Yes. Do I want someone else to be with Theo? Heck no!
"By the look on your face, I'm guessing that you're partly happy that I don't have a mate." He chuckles while running his hand through my hair. I look up at him, from where I'm laying on his lap with an embarrassed smile.
"Sorry." Is all I could say. Now I felt bad for liking this.
He shakes his head and looks down at me with a soft smile.
"Don't feel bad Izzy. I'm sure if it was vice versa, I'd probably feel the same way." I let out a sigh of relief, knowing that I didn't upset him. I gasp as I feel Theo's lips on mine. I smile into the kiss and move my lips against his. He wraps his arms around my waist and places me on his lap, making me straddle him. I wrap my arms around his neck, as he pulls me closer.
"Well would you look at this." We hear someone snicker from behind us. I gasp and pull away from him, climbing off his lap. I look over and see Skylar and Kyle standing there with smug smirks. I blush and hide my face in between Theo's neck.
"Mom, Dad." Theo whines with a soft smile. They roll their eyes and sit down across from us. No one says anything just stares at each other.
"Oh for peat sakes, are you two dating?" She groans out, seeing that no one else wanted to speak. I'm sure I turned an even darker shade of red, if that was even possible.
"Really, mom? Really?" Theo playfully glares at her while holding my hand. She roles her eyes but still waits for our answer. I look up at Theo and find him looking down at me. He smiles and pecks my nose.
"No we're not dating." He says turning his attention to them. My smile falls at his words and I go to pull away.
"I wanted to first take her out on a date before we made it official." Those words make me stop moving and smile up at him. I go to kiss him but we suddenly hear a squeal. I jump and face Skylar.
"Gosh you two are so adorable! Kyle, aren't they so adorable!" She gushes on and on about how adorable we are. Eventually Sky and Kyle head off to bed, leaving us alone again.
"So we're going on a date." Theo states with a soft smile. I decide to tease him and sit up straight.
"Izzy."
"Izzy."
"IZZY!"
I jump up quickly but cry out as I knock my forehead against someone else's. The person yelps, falling off the bed and groaning. I rub my head while looking over the side to see Callie on the floor, groaning.
"Did you have to yell?" I question her as I help her off the floor. She climbs onto the bed next to me then lays down.
"I was calling you for over ten minutes, I didn't know what else to do. Anyways, mom sent me up here to get you for breakfast. Come on lets go." She urges me up. I sigh but comply and just let her lead me down to the dining room. As we enter we see everyone already seated except for the boys.
We sit down closer to Sky, with Callie on my right and an open seat for Theo on my left. Shame, Adrians gonna have to sit in between Uncle Scott and Uncle Jordan.
