Mine

Chapter 11

Cole rest his arm on the back of my chair as he rested back into his chair. Chase did the same to Lucia as the waiter came over to give us our menus. They all handed them back and ordered but I have never been here before. The waiter looked at me to ask "What can I get you, Miss?"

"I...ummm..." I tried to say but I stopped and hid my face when Hannah laughed at me. I stood up and said, "I will be back." Instantly I left to find the bathroom to freshen up. The minute I finished I looked at myself to see an embarrassed girl looking back at me. It is not my fault I have never been here before. Ugh, maybe I should just go home and let them talk. I am not part of this family anyway.

I dried my hands off and left the bathroom to see Cole leaning on the wall on his phone. Once he saw me he put his phone away and pushed off the wall to walk my way. I didn't say anything as I leaned into his warm embrace and shut my eyes tight. He held me close as he said "Ignore her Stella she is doing it on purpose."

I pulled away to look up at him as I said "I... Maybe I should just go home. This is your scene, not mine plus this your family.."

Cole leaned down and took my lips with dominance. A soft moan escaped my lips as I tilted my head to deepen the loving kiss. He hummed as he cupped my face in his large hands. We kissed for a good minute until he pulled away and said "Stella, my princess I love you. You said it yourself I plan to make you my wife, that means you are my family. You belong here, by my side always. If anything Hannah deserves to leave."

I nodded my head yes and let him lead me back into the restaurant. As we got closer my anxiety started to rise and Marcus noticed because he gave me an evil smile. I grabbed the back of his suit making him stop us dead in his track to make me look at him. He said he meant business I thought as he cupped my face and said "Stella calm down you are giving him what he wants."

"I know it is just I am by myself facing three people who want me hurt or worse dead."

"You are not alone Stella I was right there the entire time."

"No you weren't I made a fool out of myself and they know that."

Cole sighed and started to walk us into the back. I didn't fight him as he led me into a beautiful office space. Once I was he shut the door, picked me up like I was a baby, and gently pushed me against the wall. I clung to him like a koala bear as his large hands rested on my butt to hold me up. We stared at each other for a good minute until he finally said "Stella I didn't leave you to make a fool out of yourself. You left because I could say anything. That is your problem princess, you run when things get tough instead of standing your ground."

"I always get punished when I...."

Cole sat me down on my feet, tuck the hair in my face behind my ears, and cupped my face to say "I am not the people who bullied you, I am not your ex and I am most certainly not Marcus...*sigh*...Stella, stop running away, stop hiding and let me handle them."

"Ok."

"Ok, what."

A soft smile hit my lips as a blush hit my face and I mumbled "Ok daddy." He chuckled and kissed my forehead before leading us back into the dining room area. I leaned into him and asked, "Did you order me anything?"

"Of course I did princess."

"Thank you" I hummed as I leaned up and kissed his cheek. Cole chuckled at me as he helped me in my chair and sat down himself. Once more he put his arm around my seat to relax in his chair. I felt his hand starting to play with my hair as Ada said "You didn't go cry like a baby did you, Stella? You know my brother needs a strong wife not..."

"His step-sister who just wants his power."

Colt, Chase, and Cole laughed at my comment as Ada crossed her arms and huffed at me. What she left herself wide open for that one. A deep blush hit my cheek as I grabbed my drink to take a sip. As I did Hannah said, "Don't disrespect my niece like that." I sat my drink down as Cole said "Then tell your niece to respect my girlfriend and die zukünftige Königin der Wolfsfamilie." (the future queen of the Wolf family.)
