Chapter 94: Chapter 94
Ethan looked hesitant but then sighed and nodded. I got up and we went to the mustang, I was so glad we got to keep it after it won the contest for the garage.
I noticed Ethan was nervous in the car and I put my hand on his "What’s wrong?"
"Nothing"
"Ethan. I know you, something is wrong"
"It’s just" he started "Your parents don’t really like me much anymore. When you were...unconscious I told them everything, safe to say they weren’t so forgiving. I wouldn’t expect them to be"
I sighed and turned to him "Don’t worry they’ll get over it. When they see how much I love you and how much you make me happy they’ll get over it"
Ethan turned his eyes from the road to me for a few seconds and nodded, though I could see he wasn’t persuaded.
We stopped by my house and we both got out. I held Ethan’s hand as we walked to the door and knocked. As soon as the door opened mom threw herself at me, hugging me tightly, I chuckled "merry Christmas mom"
Mom pulled back and smiled at me "Merry Christmas honey" she looked at Ethan and nodded her head in acknowledgment "Ethan" and then turned and left, without waiting for an answer.
I sighed, giving Ethan a smile and we walked in. I smiled when I walked into the living room and saw my dad "Daddy" I ran to him and hugged him
"Hey honey" he said hugging me tightly "you know you scared us right?"
"Sorry dad" I said "Merry Christmas"
"Merry Christmas kiddo" he looked at Ethan and his warm expressing disappeared to a deadly one "What’s he doing here?"
"Dad" I said warningly "He’s my mate, and I love him."
"He dosn’t deserve you" dad said looking away from Ethan
"Dadddy don’t-"
"No he’s right Lily’ Ethan said "I don’t deserve you" he walked towards me "And I regret every wrong thing I ever did to you and I’m going to spend every day making it up to you" he turned to my dad "sir, I love you daughter, with all my heart and I’m never going to let her go. I don’t know what she sees in me but I’m glad she does because I really can’t imagine my life without her. I know I don’t deserve your trust, but I’m going to work every day to get it back"
"Daddy, please" Dad looked at us skeptically.
"Fine" he said "but I still don’t trust you. And hurt my little girl again and I’m going to be the one to kill you" Ethan nodded and I squeezed his hand for reassurance and smiled at him
After that my mom and dad loosened a bit but they were still cautious and the tension was obvious. Ethan was nothing but respective and when we were finally in the car on our way back I sighed
"Are you okay?" I asked as we got out of the car "You were silent for the ride back here"
"I’m fine" he said smiling "I guess I should have expected it"
"They’ll come around" I said wrapping my arms around my waist "Mom was just scared for me and dad..well he’s protective, he always had been" I smiled "I love you"
"And I love you"

In the next few days me and Ethan got even closer, we slept in the same room and talked for hours. It was the night before New years and I was helping the twins prepare the pack house for the new year’s party they were going to throw.
I watched as Ethan laughed aat something Xavier said and smiled. He noticed my gaze and turned to look at me, he gave me a wink and I rolled my eyes.
"You guys are cute" Ren said making me turn to her. "and you look like you’re falling deep"
"Already have" I said without hesitation, I wasn’t scared anymore that things would go wrong. It just seemed right
"Well that’s good actually" Melissa said smiling "You guys need a chance to be together after what you’ve been through" I smiled at Melissa, Ethan had thrown a fit when she came in the morning. He said he still didn’t trust her and he didn’t want her anywhere near me. But I took him aside and calmed him down till I got him to agree to her and her mate spending New year’s with us. He didn’t like it and kept an eye on Melissa most of the time.
"So what I want to know is" Ren said snapping me back to reality "Why haven’t you mated yet?"
"Lower your voice" I said whispering "and I don’t know, we haven’t reached that part yet." Not that I haven’t thought about it I added to myself. I’ve had some pretty heated make-out sessions with Ethan, especially at night when we were in his bed but each time either I’d be the one pulling away or he would. He didn’t pressure me at all but recently I’ve actually wanted for us to mate. I wasn’t scared.
"Which means your scared shit-less"
I blushed "That too" I said putting streamers over the window
"It hurts a bit" Ren said "but then it gets better" she winked at me and then she smirked "Want me to explain the process"
"Ha ha" I said sarcastically "It’s not the process I’m scared about" I said throwing her a look "It’s just...maybe I’m....never mind it’s stupid anway"
"Tell us Lily" Melissa said "What is it?"
"What if I suck at it" I said and then laughed "Sounds even stupider when I say it out loud but..." I sighed "What if he doesn’t like what he sees" I motioned to my body "What if I can’t...if it’s not great for him it’s...OW" I rubbed my head where Ren hit me "What was that for?"
