All It Took Was One Look (BoyxBoy) {Book1: Blue Moon Series} [Not Edited]

~Aiden~

My heart was beating so hard it was painful. My grip on Liam’s hand tightened but I don’t think it hurt him. I mean come on he’s a freaking werewolf! Holding my breath I watched as Liam pushed the door of room opened. Forget holding my breath it caught in my lungs as a sea of faces came into view. Oh my god, I’m going to die!!!!! Liam dragged me up to a podium in front of the crowd. Can a person die from sweating to much? Because I think I’m heading in that direction. I forced my head down and followed Liam grudgingly. I would peek at Liam under my lashes a few time and saw a blank face and expressionless eyes. he was pulling this off better than my shaking form.

We headed up the stairs of the stage where his parents were at smiling at us. that made me feel a little better. Liam took his place in front of the podium and me by his side. I had a sinking feeling as I looked up to see exactly how many faces were here. I’m going to throw up. Liam’s hand tightened in mine causing me to look up at him but his gaze was still on the crowd.

“so I’ve called this meeting to discuss something very important to you all” his voice rang strong and loud. I watched as everyone gave him their undivided attention. It was amazing to see a whole crowd of people watching my boyfriend as if he were king or in this case prince. I wanted to giggle but I was to scared to do that. It’s one thing to have humans hate your gut because of what you are but a whole different thing having supernatural beings hate you. They can kill me without breaking a sweat. UGH!! What have I gotten myself into. I scolded myself.  

“first I want to start off by saying that I will be taking over my father’s position in the next month.” There was an eruption of cheers and claps. After a while Liam rose his hand to silence them. Silence. “as you all know to get this position you have a mate.” He paused. I got a bit bold and looked back out to see a lot of people looking over at me with confusion while the others; more of the younger crowd were staring at Liam to finish. I guess the group that had eyes on me knew just like Liam told me they would. My face was beginning to turn red from the embarrassment.

How would you like it if a whole room of people could smell that you had sex? Yeah!

“and I have found mine, nothing in this world would make me change what the spirits have gifted me with.” He turned to face me; I looked up to his 6’2 frame as he gazed down at me with soft hazel eyes. I bit my lip as I stared at him, my heart thumping loudly I’m sure everyone in this room heard.

“Aiden Carlisle has been chosen as my life mate, my other half and I am honored to be his.” Liam told his pack but I knew he was mainly talking to me. There was a knot in my throat but I held it in. he was really ready to face the wrath of this worlds ignorant assholes for a life with me.

There was a collective gasp. I closed my eyes and awaited the oncoming slaughter that was to befall us. Liam lifted my chin up with his forefinger and thumb. I opened my eyes to see him smile encouragingly at me.

“we can do this” he whispered to me. I nodded as my heart became a little lighter. He turned back to them. The room was filled with loud murmuring as they talked over themselves.

“I know this is a shock-” Liam tried to talk but it was to chaotic. I looked up at him worried. “If we can act civil-” his word were on deaf ears. I could feel him getting frustrated. I squeezed his arm in support. The uproar was becoming louder, ringing off the walls in the room. Liam gripped the sides of the podium, the muscles in his arms straining with the amount of force he was putting on the wood, he was going to break it. he was glaring at the crowd. I looked back at his parents who were staring out with disappointment. Mr. Jacobs caught my eyes and smiled sympathetically. This caused me to snap my head back towards the loud angry crowd. Anger was building up in my chest as I watched them argue with themselves. I think a lot of that surprising anger was from Liam.

“SHUT UP!!!” I screamed. My voice rang off through the room causing the room to become silent. They were looking up at me in shock. I took a deep breath as I peered back at Liam, he had a stunned but proud look. but I wasn’t finished I was going to go along with the momentary courage as long as I could. I stepped around the podium and stared them all down with a look of dissatisfaction.
