Mated to My Enemy novel Chapter 42

Towards the end of the day, Luke called me over because he wanted to talk to me in private from the others.

"Hey Daph I just wanted to ask you a question," he said wringing his hands.

I nodded and said, "Of course, what is it?"

"Okay so me and Ben were talking and we want to know if you could please announce that me and him are mates."

I was shocked and froze, they're asking me?

"Oh my god I would love to! This is such an honor!" I said given him a hug.

He looked so relieved and had a huge grin on his face, "Thank you Daphne we really appreciate it!"

"Of course! You guys are such good friends and you are so adorable together I'm so excited that you guys asked me to announce it!" I told him.

It was now the day of Ben's birthday party and the jitters were all around. Most of the pack was here and helping around. Luke was especially freaking out and trying to perfect everything. He so nervous of what Ben was going to think. Of course I tried to calm him down as best as I could because I knew Ben would love it but, Luke would just ignore me.

"He's coming!" someone yelled from the crowd.

We quickly turned off the lights and hid so that we could surprise him. We heard the footsteps coming, Arron was the one that went and distracted him.

The door opened so we turned on the lights and yelled, "Surprise!"

Ben had a shocked expression which changed to a huge smile on his face.

"Oh my gosh thank you guys! I am so happy y'all did this for me!"

We all went and gave him a hug.

"Let the party begin!" Arron yelled.

The party was going really well and I tried staying as far away from Arron as I could. Soon enough, it was time for me to do the announcement. I was really nervous that there are so many people or should I say werewolves here but all in all I was so honored that I was asked to do this. I went onto the stage and grabbed the microphone. I hit it twice with my pointer finger to make sure it worked. Everyone's eyes turned to me as I did so.

I couldn't meet his eyes and said, "Arron it's not going to be that easy."

"I know and I just- I just want to fix things with you and I'm hoping you'll give me that chance," he pleaded.

I stood silent for a second thinking. Should I really give him a chance after all he did? My mind was made up.

"Fine. But I just want to let you know that I will not forgive you that easely. What you did was really wrong and I- I thought I was your mate," I said, my eyes starting to tear up.

"I know and I just want to fix everything, how about a date tomorrow?" he asked with a hopeful look on his face.

I nodded my head, "Pick me up at around six."

He had a huge smile on his face and he went over to kiss me but, I I turned away. He seemed hurt for a seond but he quickly masked it.

"Let's go back out," he said pulling me by the hand.
