My Little Mate by Shivani Sharma (romance book recommendations TXT) 📖

"What happens?" I ask her.

"Ryan proposes me for the marriage," she squealed on the phone.

"Wow, congratulations, girl, what was your answer, " I ask, feeling happy for her.

"I said yes, and now we are driving to my parent's house so that he can ask my friends for my hand." she sequel on the phone, and I imagine her jumping up and down in excitement in the car.

"Cool, share everything with me when you comebacks to the castle or call. me if you decided to stay at your parent's house in the night, okay?" I ask her.

"Okay," she said and hung up on her.

After some time, I heard a knock on the door.

"Come in," I said, and Emma walks inside the office. I tell her about Ryan proposing to her for marriage and start discussing essential things with her.

"These are the names and background information of the witches and the people I am thinking to hire as teachers and for other professions. I also thought of opening some shops for books and other things to provide to the students. This way, we will also be able to collect some funds for the academy. And we will take a scholarship exam for those students who would not be able to afford it. I want you to go through it and let me know, what you think about it, " I said while the files to her.

"Do you have anyone in your mind you think can become the principal of the academy?" I ask her.

"I think you should become the principal of the academy since you are the leader of the coven," she said to me.

"I won't mind doing that, but I already have a load of work already," I said to her.

"I know, and I am not telling you to run it by yourself. What I mean is make a witch you trusted most you assistant and make her/him handle it, and check time to time whether she is doing her work correctly or not. You can also make your owl keep an eye on him/her if you want," she said to me, and I nodded my head at her.

"Nikki, have you seen my blue color file?" Cole said after entering inside my door without knocking on it.

"Well, at least someone is thought full enough to propose to his girlfriend for a marriage," I said in a loud voice. I walked towards our to fetch the file for him while avoiding him and hoping that he takes a clue and proposes to me for the marriage.

What just happened was all I able to think when she walks out on me. My thought was interrupted when I heard someone laughing at me.

"What? Why are you laughing at me?" I ask Emma, who was laughing at me while holding her stomach.  

"Your expression is so funny that I can't hold myself," She said after composing herself.

"You know she just has given you a clue to propose her for the marriage," Emma said to me.

"Yeah, I know but, why?" I ask her.

"God, you men are dumb, aren't you? Ryan had proposed Alisha for marriage, and she wanted you to propose to her for the marriage," She said to me.

"But I thought werewolf does not need to marry. Werewolf marks each other and claims each other, so there is no need for a ring for them. That's why I didn't think of proposing her." I said to her.

"I know, but Nikki is different. She has grown up between humans and werewolves. She has seen her friends get proposed by their boyfriends. That's why the human inside her also wanted to be proposed like that. Even if she knows that werewolves don't need to put a ring on their finger to claim them, think about it," Emma said and then walked out from there, leaving me alone with my thoughts.

"Alpha, Alpha," I was so lost in my thoughts that I didn't see her coming inside the room.

"Yes," I said while clearing my throat.

"Luna had given this file to me to give it to you," she said while passing the file to me. She bows in front of me and then walks out of the room. I will think about it later, I thought, and walk back to my office to complete the pending work.

"Knock Knock," 

"Come in," I said while still looking at the file.

"Alpha, Luna had told me to brought the food for you in your office," an Omega said while walking inside the room and keeping the food tray on the desk. I dismissed her and looked at the clock.

"It's 10:30 pm already," I thought while looking at the clock. I closed the file and Laptop and started eating my food. After that, I mind linking an Omega and go to my room.

"Yeah, I hope he gets the clue and proposes to me, and if he did that, we would have a double wedding. We will have so much fun while planning our wedding together, okay he is here, I will call you later bye," I heard Nikki said on the phone and cut the phone. So Emma was right, huh, I thought and walked inside the room acting, like I didn't hear anything, to see her sleeping or, should I say, fake sleeping while facing the other side of the bed. I chuckle inside my mind and walk inside the room to take a shower.

After the shower, I dress in my track pants and get inside the cover. I pull Nikki closer to me. At first, she looks like she will struggle to get out of my arms but then thought otherwise and fall asleep.

"Good night, love," I whisper to her while kissing on my mark and fall asleep with her in my arms.

(Nikki P.O.V)

I turned in the bed and flung my arm over at Cole to find the bed beside me cold and empty. I sit up and rub my eyes to drive the sleep away from my eyes. I look at his pillow to see a note over there. I picked it up and started to read it.

Nikki, 

My love,

I have to attend an emergency meeting, and mom and dad are also coming with me to accompany it. There will be a party in the evening after the meeting, and I want you to join me there. There is a dress in the wardrobe. I have selected a dress for a party for you. Be ready for the party by 7:30 pm. A driver is going to come to pick you up for the party.

Love Cole.

Damn, I am alone in the castle now, well not really because there are other people like Chef, cleaner and other maids. But I feel lonely without my family. 

Well, I have a load of work to do, so I better complete it before the party. I get out of the bed, grab my clothes and walk inside the washroom to get ready for the day. After that, I order an Omega to bring my breakfast and lunch to my office since I don't like to eat alone at the dining table and walk towards the office. 

After lunch, I walk to my room to take a small nap; since Cole is not here, I grab one of his shirts and wear it. I fall asleep while hugging his pillow. I wake up to see I still have 3 hours left before getting ready for the party. I grab some snacks and work for some time until it was time. 

When I get out of the washroom after wearing the dress, I heard a knock on the door.

"Come in," I said while sitting in front of the mirror.

"Luna, Alpha had told me to help you while getting ready for the party," two Omegas said while walking inside the room, and I nodded my head at him. 

"Luna, your driver is waiting for you," one of the warriors said to me and escort me to the car. It takes half an hour for us to reach our destination. Kelvin comes up to us, opens the door of the car, and hands me a note. 

"You look beautiful, Nikki." He says before smiling mischievously and leaves in a hurry. I read the message to look for an explanation.

To the love of my life:

I have a surprise for you before the party. Since you love to play games, here's one for you. Follow the red carpet and meet me at the end. It's called 'Reasons I love you.'

 Have fun.

Reason no one: Your beautiful smile.

 As I walked the carpet, one by one, people approach me with notes containing reasons why he loves me. One by one, all my loved ones come and handed me twenty-nine notes, and I smiled with tears in my eyes at the gesture as I approached the garden. I reached the end to find a band playing soft music to the side, and there stood my mate decked out in a black tuxedo holding a single red rose.

"Reason number thirty, because you stand by my side through thick and thin ." He looks at me with adoring eyes, and I can't help the uncontrollable grin that forms at his words.

 "You look beautiful." He tells me as I stand in front of him with my arms around his neck.

"And you look ravishing in this suit," I said, smiling at him.

"This is amazing," I said while looking at the efforts he had put for me.

 "Of course, my love. I'd give you the moon if you ask it of me." He hands me the rose and leads me to the table, pulling out my chair for me. 

"Let's leave the moon where it is, shall we," I joked as I take the offered seat.

We sat at the table enjoying dinner together with light conversation and laughter.

Once we were finished with our dessert, he got up and asked for me to dance with him. We were swaying to the music's sounds when the band started playing Jason Derulo - Marry me. Suddenly he kneels in front of me while taking out a small box from his pocket. My eyes widen in realization.

"I had been looking for my mate since I have turn 18, and at one point, I have almost given up the hope to find you until I found you in-car which is crashed, with trees. I can't explain how devasted I feel when I thought I lost you, but when I realize that you are fine, I feel so much relief that I can't explain it. With every passing second I spend with you, my feeling for you gets deeper and deeper. And I want to make you mine forever and every in any aspect. So Nikki, will you do me the honor and marry me?" he asks me.

"Yes, yes, yes, thousand times yes," I said with a huge smile on my face.

He slips the ring onto my finger and jumps up, lifting me into the air as he lets out a loud cheer. I take his face into my hands and kiss him, putting my every feeling into the kiss.

I hear cheers sound out from behind us as we break apart the kiss, and he sets me down on my feet.

"I love you so much, Cole," I whisper as our foreheads touch,
