Emily's POV
Since I would be leaving this pack, here in Los Angeles for Oxford tomorrow, I decided to spend the night at my boyfriend's apartment which is a few meters from the pack estate.
During the day, the Alpha, my dad and his Luna, my mom organized a send forth for me and invited most prominent members of the pack. Even while the party went on, my mind was thinking about Beta Leo, I couldn't wait to escape to him at the garden. He's my boyfriend of five years, we dated right from when I was fifteen years and we dream of getting married one day.
"I'll miss you, baby." He said to me the moment I walked up to him in the garden. His face was dull and he had his hands clutched to the back.
I felt my wolf weakened. It was a hard decision leaving the one person I wanted to be around all the time to continue my studies abroad. If I told my dad that I wanted to study in one of the local universities here in Los Angeles, he wouldn't agree. I knew there was no need, he's such an authoritative Alpha that doesn't change his mind once he has arrived at a decision.
I took out of my credit cards from my pocket, a golden card worth three million dollars and gave it to him.
"Take this!" I handed it over to him. "This is my savings from the pocket money I have been getting from my dad for the past two years. I want you to see it as me buying your heart to stay faithful to me till I return."
"What?" His eyes popped out so wide. "I know there's really a lot of money in here, I can't take it." He pushed the card back to me but I resisted and sent it into his palms, covering it.
"You're my mate, my boyfriend and everything and so far this is my most valuable asset. I want you to keep it safe with you till I return, if you can't accept it."
Slowly he folded the card gently and gave me a hug.
"Well, it's just three years. I'll keep myself for you till you return."
"Promise?" I raised my dull eyes at him, wanting an assurance and he gave me a brief and serious nod.
"Thanks," I smiled and hugged him so tight. We kissed for some minutes before running back to the venue of the party lest my attention is needed. I already planned a surprise for us, I would spend the night at his place for the first time and we're gonna do it for the first time.
I'd saved my virginity for marriage as my family is such a conservative one but tonight, I had to give him what he's always asking for. I wanted to seal the bond we had. I wished we could stay loyal to each other till we reunite again.
It was 8 PM. I sneaked out of the house after bedtime, this was so risky but it's all for the love of my life. I knew what my dad would do to me should he discover this but I had to take the risk to show Leo how much I loved him. He wouldn't let me take such a risk if he knew that's why I didn't tell him.
This was meant to be a secret.
