Arranged - Katy Wong (fun books to read for adults TXT) 📗

it sound so easy, because she was a wolf all her life.

She continued, "You just have to think about your wolf and your wolf would wake up. Than you have to give your wolf a name, so, on the full moon, you call your wolf's name and you would turn to a wolf. When you turn to a wolf, you could talk to your mate."

"But don't you have -"

"No you don't, when you become a wolf, he could only hear you only at that time. But when you fully bond, he could hear your thoughts forever."

"Ohhh,"

I thought, At least someone can hear me when I become a wolf, so I don't have to be so confused.

Than I started wondering, What would my wolf look like?? Will my wolf would just wake up by a call 'wolf'?

I decided to give it was try, Wolf!

Hi!!!! said a voice and I jumped, almost fell off my seat.

"Vanessa, are you ok?" Mrs. Cohen asked.

"Yeah, just you know, my wolf woke up." I said feeling embarrassed. Mrs. Cohen giggled and patted my hand. I blushed.

That's embarrassing! I told my wolf.

I hear my wolf laugh and said, What do you want to name me?

Will I try to a hairy wolf, when I say the name?

My wolf laughed again and said, No

Ok, your name is . . . let's see . . . Layla!

Ohh, the name for dark beauty! said Layla.

Mrs. Cohen interrupted my thoughts and said, "Oh, yeah, Jason's brother, James is coming over today. Let's go now so you can meet him."

We paid and we headed for the car. The driver started driving.

"I think you're going to like Jennifer McCoy." Mrs. Cohen said.

"Jennifer McCoy?" I asked.

"James's girlfriend."

"Oh,"

"Mrs. Cohen, is she a human?"

"Where did you hear that?" she sound concerned.

I didn't want to get my helpers in trouble so I said, "I just heard it from somewhere."

"Well, she is a human, but now she's a wolf. She went through the process to become a wolf."

I nodded.

"Oh, yeah, I forgot to mention, we're going to have a Night of Engagement party for you and Jason." Mrs. Cohen said and clapped her hands together.

I smiled, half - heart.

Don't worry, you'll like it

How do you know?

Because he is your mate! I ignored Layla.

"I have everything picked out and don't worry, everything is going to be FAB!!!" Mrs. Cohen said and grinned.

The car stopped in front of the house and outside the house, there is another car.

"Oh, just in time!" Mrs. Cohen said and quickly got out of the car. I followed her and the doorman opened the door for James and Jennifer. Jennifer came out first and she stared at me for a moment before grinning, and than James.

I stared at James for a moment. He was so handsome; of course he could have a girl like Jennifer.

I walked up to them and extended my hand.

"Hi, you must be Jennifer McCoy, I'm Vanessa." I said and shook her hand. I walked over to James and studied him for a moment. He has Jason's blonde hair and his mother's friendly electrical blue eyes.

"Hi, James, I'm Vanessa." I said and he shook my hand, grinning. I knew right away I'm going to like him.

"Ok, darling, let's go inside and have some tea." Mrs. Cohen said and we walked in the dining room. There was tea, coffee, water and cookies all set up on the table.

I sat across from Jennifer.

She's a wolf now said Layla.

Who?

Jennifer

She went through the process?

Yeah, but her was more different from yours and she just got well before she got here

"Where's Jason?" asked James, snapping me out of my 'conversation'.

"Oh, he went out for a second, he said he's doing something important." Mrs. Cohen said and sipped on her tea.

"How's is it here, Vanessa?" Jennifer said.

"It's perfect here."

"And how's Jason? How's it going with him?"

"It's perfect!" I said and put on a fake smile.

"Oh, that's great. I've heard a lot about you guys."

"Really?" I asked and she nodded.

"Oh, by the way, call me Jen, I don't really like my full first name." she said and smiled.

"Oh, girls, sorry to interrupt, but I have some news!" said Mrs. Cohen and smiled. She always smile that there's no mistake in her life. She makes life sound so easy.

"I was planning that we have ballroom dancing lesson." Mrs. Cohen said.

"But -!" Jan and I started.

"Oh, don't worry; I'm going to hire a tutor to help you, guys." She said quickly.

"I - !" I started.

"Honey, don't sorry, leave it all up to me! And I'm going to hire the best dancing tutor in the world!!!!" she beamed and grabbed her phone, call a tutor.

"I can't dance!" I whispered to Jen.

She smiled and said, "So can't I!"

I grinned; I know I'm going to like this girl too.

Than, Mrs. Cohen slammed her phone down on the table and squealed. My eyes widen. Out of the corner of my eyes, I saw James put his forehead in his arm and blushed from the embarrassment from his mom.

"SHE HIRED, SHE HIRED! YEAH! DANCING LESSON STARTING TOMORROW!" she squealed and got up, "I got to dash, see ya!" She walked out of the room.

"What -" I started.

"Uhh, don't mention it, that's who my mother is." James said, lifting his head and I laughed.

"She always like that when she gets excited." James said.

I laughed even more.

The door bell rung and a maid quickly went to get the door.

"That's probably Jason." Jen said.

Jason walked into the dining door and saw James.

"Oh, brother, how great to see you." James said.

"How long were you here?"

"Just a wait."

"Hi, Jason, I'm Jennifer McCoy, call me Jen." Jen said, standing to shake his hand.

"Hi, well, I have to go." Jason said and was about to walk out, when he signaled me to come along.

"Well, can I be excused too?" I asked.

They nodded and I followed Jason up the stairs. We got to the room.

"Guess what?" I asked and at the same time he said, "I have something for you."

There was silence.

"Uhh, you go first." I said.

"No, you go." he said, sitting down on the chair.

"Ok, your mom is planning to have dancing class for us. She wants us to learn Ballroom dancing." I said, I didn't know why I was telling him that.

"And yeah, what do you want to say again?" I asked.

There was a pause between us, "Ummm, well, never mind."

"Tell me." I said.

"No, I'll tell you next time." Jason said.

"Fine, than you have to tell me what's in that bag." I said, standing in front of him.

"Next time." he said and put the bag in one of the drawers of his's. I rolled my eyes and walked away. I took a shower and come out the bathroom. I looked around the room.

He's not here! I thought, Time to find out what's in that bag!

I threw the towel back to the bathroom hamper and tip - toed to the drawer that he put the bag in. I slide it open - it was his boxer drawer. I blushed. On top of his boxers was the bag that he was holding.

I opened the bag slowly and there was a beautiful box inside. I grinned and opened the box. I gasped. Inside the box was the biggest diamond ring I have ever seen in my whole life.

"Wow, that's beautiful." I said and grinned.

I never knew Jason was such a good person to buy his mother a present! I thought.

Yeah, isn't he great? asked Layla.

Yeah, something he could be really sweet and caring, but something he just so -

"Vanessa?" Jason asked. I jumped and the beautiful ring flew out of my hand and on the carpet.

I quickly straightened myself out and said, "I'm sorry, I really don't mean to drop your mother's present on the floor!"

I scrambled to find the lost ring among the carpet floor, "I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to dirty the beautiful ring and I just want to take a look at it. I'm so sorry - "

He chuckled and took the found - ring out my hand.

"It's ok and that ring isn't for my mother, it's for you. And I'm glad you think it's beautiful." Jason said and smirked.

I blushed really hard and quietly said, "Oh,"

He chuckled, "It's the first time I've seen you blush." I blushed harder and slapped him a little bit playfully.

"Oh, well, you've saw the ring. I thought it would be a surprise, but you were too curious." He took my hand and right away, my skin felt warm. He gently slipped the ring on my finger. He brought my hand up to his lips and he planted a small kiss. I could feel how his lips felt like on my skin - full, plumped and soft. I shivered a little and blushed.

I studied my hand for a little and I have to admit; It is so beautiful and it totally suits my hand. Long, thin fingers with a beautiful, flashy ring!

I thought and I could feel my inside do a mini dance.

I smiled.

"The first time I've seen you smile too. And it's sexy to have two dimples when you smile." Jason teased in my ear and his hot breath warmed my ears. I blushed and shivered.

"Hey!! Stop that would you!?" I asked.

"No, I won't!" Jason teased and squeezed my hand that he was still holding. Than, there was a silence in the room. It wasn't an awkward silence; it was just a happy silence. I could feel myself grin wider and I notice how close we were. Our toes were touching each other and I notice how much taller Jason was than me. He was probably a 6 feet something. He bent over and I could see his lashes, how thick and heavy they look. His eyes were a beautiful shade of green and it looks dreamy. I could hear his breathing and feel his hot breath leaning really closer to me. I could smell him, his shampoo and cologne. His hair was slightly covering his eye and he moved in a little closer. I could see his lips slightly apart.

Than I started blushing, Is he going to kiss me? I thought.

I blushed even harder and my heart started hammering in my chest. My breath quickened slightly and I hoped he doesn't notice. Our lips were almost an inch apart and I did the first thing that came into my mind - push him away. I pushed him a little and I started feeling dazed.

I unconsciously stepped back and his hand slipped away from my hand. My face heat up even more.

I looked away, I didn't want to see Jason's face, but I could feel him looking at me.

I really regret it, but I really didn't know what to do, if he really kissed me.

"Ummmm, I have a question. I, ummm, I was wondering what type of ring this is." I asked awkwardly, trying not to create a weird and silence atmosphere, but knowing that I am. I forced myself to look at Jason and when our eyes met, he quickly looked away. I blinked at him, but he quickly recovered.

He moved in closer and he took my hand.

"Umm, let's say that this is a promise ring." Jason said.

I looked up at me and smile, "What do you promise?"

"I promise you that . . . I will make you happy and that you'll love me." Jason said cockily. I laughed at him.

"Fine, you promise?" I asked and stuck my pinky finger out.

"Yeah, I promise, even the last part." he said, "You will fall in love with me one day." He hooked him pinky around my pinky and we shook it.

"Deal." he said and I grinned.

I remember what pinky promises were like back when I was child. I would do that all the time when there was something big. But now I am almost 18 and I still pinky promise because this was important and big. Sometimes, I wonder about the promise that other people make with me, I always wonder if they will come true or they are just lying. And some promises I forget, but
