Bound by Alpha's Deception: My Step-Brother's Secret Vengeance novel Chapter 25

I rested my chin on my hand while simultaneously biting my fingernail, which was a nervous habit of mine.

Don't get me wrong, I'd like to meet the pack, seeing as they're practically my family now but there are also those worries at the back of my mind saying that they'd treat me like my old pack did.

"Are you ok if we do that then?" He asked nervously.

I was silent for a moment, thinking back on all the pros and cons until I finally nodded my head in agreement.

"Great" he grinned happily "I'll let my mother and Charlotte know to start planning and organising everything"

I held up three fingers and looked at him puzzled.

"Ah yes, and the third thing is" he smiled and rested his chin on his hand and looked straight into my eyes, which made me slightly nervous.

"I would like to take you out on a date Friday night" he grinned.

I moved my head back so I was standing up straight, staring at him, shocked.

"So, yes?" He asked again, as he rubbed the back of his neck. I slowly walked over to him, watching as he grew more nervous. I stood in front of him with an blank expression on my face, not giving away anything.

When it looked like he was about to break and apologise, I left the big grin finally show on my face.

I grinned wider, if possible, when I saw him leave out a breath of relief and he hugged me to his chest.

"Well I think we should take a nap" he smiled, taking my hand then leading us upstairs.

He threw me one of his shirts to change into so I went to the bathroom and did so while he changed out in the room.

Noah was lying down flat on the bed and his eyes glued to the ceiling, lost in thought, when I exited the bathroom.

I walked over to the bed and laid down beside him and also stared at the ceiling. I saw his head turn in my direction from the corner of my eye. I felt his gaze on me while I kept mine facing the ceiling.

"Hey, what's that?" He asked softly and moved closer to me. I turned my head towards him and raised my eyebrow in question.

"There's a mark behind your ear" he answered.

I grabbed the notepad from my bedside table and wrote down my reply.

'It's a birthmark' I wrote

Then showed him the note.

He seemed slightly shocked and in awe when he found this out and zoned out for a while so I had to snap my fingers in front of his face to snap him out of it.

"Oh sorry" he smiled sheepishly. I chuckled and shook my head at him.

"You're not nice Rosiane" Tala huffed.

"Thanks" I replied while rolling my eyes.

I was currently waiting for Charlie to come over and help me get ready for the date.

No less that 5 minutes later there's a loud knocking at the door and when I open it, I'm met with a grinning Charlotte carrying a bag of who knows what.

"You better have had a shower because we're going to be busy for the next few hours" she said with a smirk.

I groaned, fully aware of what that smirk meant.

After a few hours of hair pulling, eye poking and head burning, I was finally finished.

I had just put my outfit on and was standing with my back facing the mirror.

"On the count of three, turn around" Charlie grinned as she clasped her hands together and looked at me in awe.

"1,2...3" she cheered and I finally turned around and gasped.

My hair was flowing down in loose bouncy curls. My makeup was kept elegant and natural with a slightly darker lipstick. My outfit consisted of a black jumpsuit which hugged my figure and had spaghetti straps.
