My Brothers Best Friend

Chapter 35 - Two Day Amnesia

Two days. Just two days. Two days until I become Mrs Cora Rhyes. My heart races. What if he doesn't show up? What if rogues attack while our defences are down? What if someone objects to our marriage? What if Aidan objects to the marriage?!
The bedroom door opens and my head snaps towards the intruder at the door, my pacing stops.
"Cora, what are you so worried about? You're giving me anxiety through the mate bond" Caleb says chuckling, trying to lighten the mood.
"I'm just worried about the wedding" I say and begin pacing again.
"Why? Your not thinking about leaving me at the altar are you?" He asks jokingly, but I can see the real worry in eyes.
"Of course not" I say getting lost in his eyes momentarily. I begin my pacing again.
"Cora could you stop the pacing please" he says holding me back by the wrist.
I look from my wrist to his face, my green eyes connecting with his hazel ones. He pulls me to him, his hands fitting perfectly around my waist.
"You shouldn't worry about the wedding, you should worry about the honeymoon and what I'm going to-"
A knock at the door interrupts him. Caleb growls lowly under his breath.
"Come in" I say slightly mad.
"Interrupting something I hope" Aidan says smugly. I roll my eyes annoyed.
"What do you want?" I ask.
"Caleb. We're going as soon as you're ready" Aidan says completely ignoring my existence.
"Going where?" I ask pissed off that my mate wouldn't inform me or this.
"That's what I came up here to talk to you about" Caleb says.
"Ahmm" I reply.
"Aidan's taking me out for a Buck's night"
"Aren't those normally the night before the wedding?"
"Yes but he needs time to recover, don't want him smashed at the alter" Aidan says chuckling. I purse my lips at my brother.
"Okay, fine, go" I say.
"Really? Oh my God. Thank you." He smashes his lips onto mine, taking me by surprise.
Aidan and Caleb high five. I shake my head at the two man-boys.
"Cora?" Aidan says.
"Yes" I reply.
"Kelsey wants me to tell you to book a babysitter and put on something nice, she's taking you out for your bachelorette party"
"Yes!" I squeal.
"Hey babe" Caleb says sticking his head in the door,
"Have fun, don't do anything I wouldn't do" he winks at me. I squeal excitedly again and run into my closet looking for a dress. In the process of getting ready I mind link Maree the nanny. I dress in my tightest, sexiest dress. Tonight is going to be so much fun.

My eyes drowsily open. Where am I? My stomach churns and I throw up next to me. I'm on the ground. I lazily sit up, holding my throbbing head.
"Ow" I say. I observe the room around me. I'm in a club.
"Kelsey?" I question. There's movement across the room.
"I'm awake, I'm awake" she says sitting up.
"Where are we?" I ask.
"A club...I think" she says wobbly standing to her feet.
I stand up, my shoes are missing. I stagger towards Kelsey, bashing into a table in the process.
"Let's find out where we are" I say heading towards the large sign that reads exit, I think. My visions still a little blurry.
"How did you get me this drunk?" I ask pushing the bar on the door. We both cringe as the sunlight blinds us.
"I got this pill from a witch" she says.
"You drugged me?" I say in disbelief.
"No, of course not. I just gave you a pill that changes how your werewolf body reacts to alcoholic substances. A witch made it"
"Like Forever?"
"No, don't be stupid. It's temporary. It's probably already out of your system"
"I'm still mad you gave it to me without my permission"
"I didn't, you took it gladly"
"God how drunk was I"
"You weren't"
"Then how come I can't remember"
"Because it's the after drinking that made you forget" she laughs.
"You didn't let me do anything too stupid did you?"
"Of course not"
"Oh my God I didn't screw anyone did I?" I ask hoping to God I didn't.
"Of course not, your wolf wouldn't let you do that"
"You just danced, well, if you could call it dancing with some handsome guys"
"God Caleb's going to kill me"
"It was only dancing, and a juicy make out sesh in a bathroom stall but that's as far as it went, I'm assuming your wolf didn't let it go any further. So don't freak out about it"
"That guys scents probably on me, you know how possessive Alpha's are. Especially ones that are getting married...oh my God tomorrow"
I begin to pace. Muttering nervously under my breath.
"I'm going to call the boys to come picks us up" Kelsey says dialling Aidan's phone number, he must be blocking her mind links.
'Our mates going to hate us.' I tell my wolf.
'You didn't do anything that he wouldn't do, trust me.' She replies.
'What do you mean?'
'I've been talking to his wolf
He's just as worried as you are. His wolf stopped him just like I stopped you. Chill out.'
A car pulls up blasting music loudly. The window winds down,
"Hello ladies" Aidan says, his shirt unbuttoned, a bottle of something in his hand.
"Aidan are you sure you should be driving?" I ask.
"Probably not" he replies.
"Scoot over, Kelsey's driving"
He nods and slides over to the passenger seat. Kelsey hops in the drivers seat.
"Aidan where's Caleb?" I ask.
"Backseat" he replies laughing.
I open the back door. Caleb lays sprawled out on the backseat.
"hello" he says smiling a boyish grin.
"Sit up" I say. He sits up revealing his perfectly toned chest . His shirt missing.
"You're so pretty" he says,
"I'm so glad I'm marrying you"
He lays his head on my shoulder. I lay my head on his head.
"Are you drunk still?" I ask.
"I'm tipsy" he replies.
"Then you'll be able to answer my question"
"Yes"
"Did you do anything stupid while drunk last night"
"I took that werewolf alcohol pill"
"Me too" we both laugh.
"Anything else?"
"Don't tell Aidan" he whispers into my ear,
"But I snuck out when he was drunk to see you" he smiles proudly.
"Did you just?" I ask. He nods,
"We hooked up in a bathroom stall" he continues to whisper.
I internally scowled my wolf for not telling me it was him.
"Did you?" He asks.
"Yeah, I listened to Kelsey" I reply and the both of us laugh.
"We're getting married tomorrow" he states,
"Yeah" I reply in disbelief,
"will this change?"
"I hope not"
"Me too"
