Ava's POV:

I look at myself in the mirror and deem that I look beautiful – ready for the night. 
 

Today, dad’s friend and his wife from high school are coming to our home for a family dinner. Why am I anxious meeting them, right? 
 

They’re the obsolete alpha and Luna, Xavier’s parents. They always had been traveling around the world. And now handling the alpha title to Alpha Xavier, they’re always in their honeymoon mood. 
 

After looking at myself, one last time in the mirror, I had successfully avoided him in the past days but tonight I have to face him. I wore a beautiful, black lace dress, that reaches above my knees. And paired it with black silhouette. Despite, wearing a beautiful dress, perfectly styled hair, I wasn’t feeling beautiful. They say that the value of  beauty is in the eye of a lover. When a ladylove gets ready for her beloved, she admires herself in his eyes. With his love, she becomes more beautiful. Tears stung my eyes thinking about my mate.

“Ava, come down sweetie, they’ll be here any minute,” mom squealed from downstairs. I chuckled at my mom enthusiasm. She, dad and Xavier’s parents are friends since their  high school. Just on cue the door bell rang. 
 

“You can do this ava, just avoid him and you’ll be good,” I encouraged myself, looking in my eyes in the mirror and headed for the door. 
 

Twirling the knob, I opened the door, only to close it again. I sagged on the door, my heart was thumping wildly, my palms were sweaty. How will I face him? Encouraging myself, once again, I decided to head down. 
 

Coming downstairs, I heard laughing and sound of cutlery. I made my way towards the living room. There sat a beautiful couple, the woman was dressed elegantly in a maroon pencil skirt while the man was wearing black suit. They were beautiful. 
 

“There she is, ava come here honey,”  dad said excitedly. What’s with my parents today. I nodded and went towards them. 
 

Dad lapsed his hand over my shoulder and literally dragged me towards them. 
 

“Meet the love of my life, my ava and ava meet my underwear pal, Nicholas and his…, just as dad was introducing his wife, uncle Nikolas interrupted him. “she’s my gorgeous woman, Aurora Romano, my precious,” uncle said while gazing lovingly at aunty. 
 

“Hello! Alpha and Luna, nice to meet you,” I step forward to greet them, I give my hand for shake but instead was crushed in a hug. 
 

“Hush honey, no need for formalities. Just call us Nick and rora,” aunty said still crushing me. I couldn’t breath. I awkwardly hugged her back, Nick and dad chuckled. 
 

“Easy there sweetheart! Let the poor soul go,” uncle Nick said still chuckling. 
 

“Sorry Sweetie, I got carried away, you’ve grown so beautifully, a fine young lady you’ve become” she said while kissing my temple. 
 

“Where’s Xavier? I thought he’ll also come,” dad asked while looking at the door. 
 

“He won’t be coming. You know the responsibilities of being an alpha. We ask him to join us once he’s finished with everything but he said, he can’t make it, sorry ” Uncle said apologizing. 
 

He didn’t come, a part of me was happy because I don’t know how to face him. He’s presence is enough to make me a shivering mess. But a part of me was longing to see him. To feel him. Even we don’t touch each other physically but his presence is enough, those electric shivering, and wild emotions. 
 

“It’s okay, we can understand. He’s busy with all his alpha duties. He has become so handsome and responsible. You must be very proud of him,” said dad. 
 

“He’s our pride and happiness,” aunty said while helping mom in arranging the table. 
 

“Dinner’s ready,” mom said and we all head towers the table and settled down. Dad sat at center with mom on his right and uncle nick on his left. I sat beside mom and aunty rora sat beside uncle nick. 
 

Today mom made so many Italian dishes, and all my favorite. I filled my plate with lasagna, what I love it and there’s no shame in food right? 
 

We started dinner, dad and uncle were making jokes and reminiscing their college days while mom and aunty were talking about food and shopping. My wolf was sad because of her mate’s absence, but I didn’t want to spoil everyone else mood. We were eating and talking when I heard a voice that I didn’t want to heard, just Yet. 
 

“Sorry, I’m late,” came his melodious voice. I looked up to see, alpha Xavier, standing there looking as attractively handsome as ever. He was wearing gray shirt with black leather jacket and black pant. 
 

My wolf purred, fucking traitor. 
 

“Oh no son, come, we just started,” dad said while standing up and welcoming him. He sat beside his mom while looking at me. I looked down. 
 

“But Xavier when we asked you said you have some important work,” uncle inquired. 
 

“Yes dad, I had but not now so I decided why not join you guys,” he said while taking lasagna. 
 

Dad and Uncle rise their glasses to make a toast, “the fondest memories are made when we’re gathered around the table,” “cheers to our reunion,” we all rose our glasses and click it together.
