Story: Fated for Her

“My mom said, “Honey, I think you’re being a little overdramatic. She loves them. She picked out the colour of the earrings she wanted.”
I couldn’t handle this right now, so I decided to just relax and spend the rest of the day with Liana until it was time to go see Sienna.
Sienna’s point of view
Even though we were busy, my shift wasn’t too hard today. I was getting better at working at the diner. Now I could easily roller skate and get everyone’s orders right. Clyde told me I was doing great, which made me happy. In about fifteen minutes, my shift will be over. I had just finished putting down some plates for our customers when I saw Zayn come into the diner with Liana on his hip.
I smiled and waved, then went back to work. I asked the family I was serving if they needed anything else, and they all said no. I couldn’t help but grab an extra napkin for the little boy who was eating chicken strips and getting ketchup all over himself. The mother thanked me, and then I went to the kitchen to get the other tables’ orders. I took my bag and went to the toilet after my shift was over. I changed into my school clothes.
I saw Zayn and Liana both sitting in a booth that was bigger than the one we usually sit in. Liana came up and sat down next to me, resting her head on my shoulder. I couldn’t help but see something shine through her hair. I could see a pink diamond stud in her ear when I brushed the hair behind her ear with my fingers.
“Hey, I see you got your ears pierced today. Did it hurt or were you a big girl?” I asked with a smile.
“I was a big girl. It hurt a little bit, but I’m fine. Grandma even let me choose the colour.” She smiled at me with a big smile.
I could tell that Zayn wasn’t happy with his mother’s choice. But I smiled at him to let him know that everything would be fine. Kayla came in a minute later with her little brother and sister. Her sister was ten and her brother was five. They both said hello and sat down. We told Kayla that Liana was my daughter. Liana looked a lot like me because she had blue eyes and pale skin.
Kayla’s eyes got big, probably because she thought Liana was my child. And even though we weren’t related by blood, I didn’t correct her when she got it wrong. Liana was mine. And Zayn’s too. Three minutes later, Theo came and smiled brightly at Liana, making her laugh.
“What’s up, cupcake?” he asked Liana. In response, she told him all about her day with Zayn and her grandma. She also showed him her new piercings in her ears that her grandma had done.
Liana was in love with Theo. Theo always brought her something nice when he came over, like ice cream or a Barbie doll. Calling him “Uncle T.”
We all ordered our food. The kids got chicken strips, Kayla and I got cheeseburgers, mine with fries and hers with fruit salad. Theo had the roast beef sandwich and Zayn had the ribs. Everyone else ordered a shake, but Theo got a root beer float.
After we ate, Zayn paid the bill, and we all said goodbye and went home. Liana was so tired that she fell asleep as soon as she got into her car seat. Liana was younger than most kids her age. Zayn and I had noticed that after we took her in. She was born too early, which is why she is smaller than most wolves. It didn’t make sense that Liana had made it to our borders alive because she still hadn’t moved. We started to think that a rogue might have dropped her off. That makes us wonder what they want.
We got to the house just as the sun was setting. It was 6:00, which meant Liana had two hours to go to bed. As we took her out of the car and into the house, she woke up. We chose to watch a movie before going to sleep. We painted our toes while we watched Tangled. Pink was Liana’s favourite colour. I painted them a shiny pink colour.
Liana was asleep next to me when the movie was over. I picked her up after turning off the TV. I woke her up to brush her teeth and then I took out her braid and put it back in so her hair wouldn’t be a mess in the morning. She got into her pyjamas, and I tucked her in. I left the room after turning on her nightlight. Zayn was working on his paperwork in his office.
When I walked in, he was bent over her desk, signing papers and doing maths.
“Hey, do you need any help?” I was then told to do maths for the company and the pack. We were done in an hour and went up to our room. I put on some knickers and a silk nightgown I found in my closet. I put my hair up in a big bun by grabbing a ponytail from the bathroom. Zayn was on the bed, waiting for me to come over.
When he saw me leave the bathroom, he groaned, and I felt a blush rise from my neck to my cheeks. I crawled onto the bed and cuddled up next to him. When I brought up Jace, he got stiff, and then when I told him what he said, Zayn growled.
I got up and quickly straddled Zayn. He looked at me with l**t in his eyes when I did what I did. I bent down and kissed him. Zayn threw me down on the bed and we kept making out with him on top of me. Sparks flew through my body. He kissed my jaw and then my neck, leaving my lips. He kept kissing and sucking on my neck until he found the spot that made me moan, and then he stopped.
I knew he wanted to mark me, so I quickly nodded to give him permission. He went back to my neck, and as I moaned again, I felt his teeth scratch the surface of my skin and then sink in. I yelled in pain, but as soon as it was gone, I felt nothing but happiness. Zayn licked the spot on my neck where he had marked me. We kissed again after that. His tongue ran along the edge of my lips, asking to come in. I said no, and in response, he bit my bottom lip, which made me gasp. Then he took his chance and slipped his tongue in, making us moan. His tongue fought for control and won. We pulled apart, and both of us were breathing hard. Our foreheads were touching. Zayn rolled over next to me and pulled me to him with one last kiss. We were asleep in just a few seconds.
Beep. Beep. Beep. The alarm went off. My pillow smells great. When I opened my eyes, I saw that I was wrapped around Zayn and lying on top of him. He pulled me to him and nuzzled my neck as I tried to get up. Boy didn’t like mornings. I then remembered what happened last night and started to blush. Oh no. I have a friend now.
“Yes you do,” Zayn said in my head. “Happy Birthday, love.”
“Ahhh!” I yelled.
Zayn jumped out of bed and looked me over to see if I was hurt.
