"Alright," I comply, swallowing a knot in my throat and going for it, making Eros purr from the back of his throat again, "You're like a big cat."

"You're like a big dog," he responds immediately and I smirk. If he only knew how right he is, he'd pass out, "Saint Bernard. What possessed your mom to call you that?"

That is not my correct name, but yes. It was a subject of mockery in my earlier years.

"Bernard is a family name, every boy in her family has it," I respond, still scratching his head. The soap is pink now, so I hope it's working, "It's a stupid tradition. We're all called by our last names."

"You have cousins?"

"Yes. Six guys," I respond, noticing that he's getting more comfortable and basically hugging me now, "But we're not close."

"Why not? I had a cousin once. He died at eleven in a situation like the one I just went through, except he was actually killed," he says, once again telling a tragic story like it’s nothing, "If he was alive today, I would be clos

    After a really fat bonus and a raise—Elio wasn't playing—I get a lot more freedom. For three days, I get to come and go as I please because Elio is too busy at The Cage, dealing with the rest of the Moros, the bosses. I use my freedom to go out and discover Rosette. It really is a quaint little city with a very dark energy about it. Today, I invited Sammy to join me for dinner, but she's trying to make me feel guilty because I didn’t invite Birdie to join us. "He's gladly staying home, after what happened. He’s still shaken up," I respond, shoving food into my mouth to stop the guilty feeling, "And why would I want him here anyway? He's not really my friend." "Hm," she murmurs, but there's something in her eyes, "Well, I thought I saw something... between you two." "What?" I snap, before reminding myself I have to be nice, "What did you think you saw?" "Attraction, maybe. A little spark, perhaps?" she murmurs with a straw in her mouth, "And then Lindsay said she thought yo

    "It’s a long story, I can talk about it tomorrow," I murmur and tap his shoulder before waiting for them to open the gates so I can walk in, "I'll come out in a couple hours, I'm waiting for my cousin. He'll stay here tonight, he's cool." "Alright..." he responds, not sounding too sure, "Does Elio know about this?" "I'm about to go tell him." "Okay, but him and Birdie are having dinner with the Satori," he says, making the hairs in the back on my neck to stand in unease. The noise in the background of my mind returns, but this time it is about him. "Sure, don't worry. See you guys in a bit," I say and then nod to every guard I pass by as I walk to the main house, "By the way, Sammy is coming any minute now. She's driving the Aston Martin." "She stranded you then?" One of the guys jokes, I roll my eyes. "Yeah, something like that," I scoff, "Women, am I right?" He laughs as I keep walking, wondering what could possibly be so important about this dinner that has my future

    "Eros," Dylan says, his voice insistent, but I'm still looking at Saint waiting for him to turn to me and explain what the hell is he doing. When I lift my head to Dylan, Saint squeezes my fucking knee again and I have to take a deep breath and move my chair back before I go into overdrive. "Excuse me, I have to use the restroom," I murmur and get up, my dad and Jacob barely pay attention to me, but I feel other eyes on my back as I walk out of the dining room. I rest my back on the wall in the hallway to the bathroom, wondering if that Xanax made me go insane and hallucinate things. Because why would Saint touch me like that? And why is Dylan so insistent? And why did Dolly say he gets 'literally' hard when he thinks about messing with me? "What drugs are you on, seriously?" Dylan asks, interrupting my anxiety overpowering the meds. I take a deep breath and turn to him, "That hair looks ridiculous on you, by the way. It looked even worse when it was bright pink." "You didn't s

    "What the fuck was that?" I ask, looking at my HS in absolute fucking confusion as usual, "Why would you do that? He's done nothing to you." "I get paid to protect your ass, don’t I?" He asks, as if he was doing me a favor or something. As if I asked for him to come and interrupt that weird conversation, "And he looked like wanted to literally get in your ass and fuck it." My mouth falls open. "What the fuck is wrong with you? Watch your fucking mouth," I growl, walking closer to push his thick chest. He doesn't move at all, "Seriously, Saint. There was no need to antagonize that crazy guy... if you think I'm insane, then Dylan's insanity is going to blow your mind. He's relentless and so fucking annoying. And he's a stalker, I'm sure he has people watching me. He knew my hair was pink while he was in Europe." "You upload pictures to your social media, you dumbass, that's how he saw your pink hair," he responds in an obvious sound, "And he's a fucking loser, I'm not scared o

    "I'm not your fucking mom, this is more than nice of me," I growl, kicking him just because, "And be thankful I saved your fucking life. You can't just be a wolf in a human city, you fucking imbecile." "Damn, alright," he murmurs sheepishly, "Thanks... this is why I wanted to be the one to come here. I know you're nice underneath all that ice and stone and thorns. Everyone is badmouthing you, but I did something about it. I worry about you." "Because you're stupid. There is no good in me, what you see is what you get. All this shit and stone and all that," I point at myself but my cousin shakes his head. I roll my eyes, "Get up and get dressed, I'm taking you to my place. There's food in there." "Fuck yeah," he says and finds the energy to do what I asked for, then we start walking and I tell him the basics. About my job and how he has to behave, "Holy shit. So, you have money now?" I narrow my eyes and turn to him. "I do. But I won't give you any and I won't send any to my mom e

    Luckily, my cousin knows I'm not in the mood and he stays silent the whole night while I can't stop thinking about how fucking shit is my life. Maybe it's even worse than the other one, with Julie. At least all there was with her was boredom, but in here with Birdie is one chaotic situation over another one and I an't catch a fucking break. Now I have another thing to worry about. Fucking Dylan Satori. He's not just a guy who Eros doesn't like. Dylan wants Eros. Badly. And he's going to succeed to have him at some point if I don't claim Eros first. I cover my face and groan. That fucker was going to kiss my mate tonight. He got really close because I couldn't escape the conversation with Jacob and Elio, but of course I had to get up in the middle of it and go stop that kiss from happening because my wolf was about to come out. But now I have to worry about that shit a lot because Dylan is going to be dangerous. If he ever touches my mate, I'll go fucking hunt him and kill him

    "So, um, is she really poor?" I ask."Not exactly. I mean, she's not starving, but she's horrible with money. Gambles it all, buys unnecessary shit, then when an emergency comes along, she has nothing. I've given her some, just to keep her quiet, but I won't anymore.""I bet you're making more than before right now," I say with a pointed look, Saint nods, "Just give her some money. Don't hoard it all like a dragon, give it to her. Seriously. Even is she was a shit mom to you, give it to her.""What logic is that?" he asks, like I'm the biggest idiot ever. Of course he thinks that, he's heartless. "She is family, the reason you're alive. Money means nothing without a family, I swear to God. In this world, you could die at any point and all that money you're hoarding is just going to become dust. Wouldn't you like to know at least you helped someone with it? And not just someone, but the woman who gave you life."He wants to call me stupid and complain, but I can see I'm starting to ma

    { Saint }This whole drug situation is a lot more complicated that I even imagined. Of course I’ve been to some of the labs before, but this is the first time I'm in one of the bigger ones. It looked like a shoe factory from outside, but it's a complete laboratory. With real chemists, regulations and shit. I walk next to Elio as he goes through the motions of making sure everything is working alright and after that whole tour, we sit down with Gideon."How's my boy been doing?" He asks Elio, pointing at me with his head, "I'm guessing alright, since you're traveling alone with him.""More than alright. You didn't tell me you found Canadian Rambo," Elio says and they both laugh, then he starts telling him about the kidnapping situation and how I wiped out almost the whole gang myself. I allow them to discuss how amazing I am with a smile on my face. Poor little humans, they're so easily impressed. "So, there's a situation," Gideon says after the catch-up session, "We need to give Ra

    I sit back down and finish my drink. Then I order another. "You really want to get drunk, huh?" Brody asks. He's also sunbathing in a chair next to me, but I don't give a shit about him, "Seems like you're trying to drown your feelings... instead of just accepting them.""What do you know, idiot? You're also burnt as hell, by the way," I let out and just because he's right there, I slap my hand on his reddened chest, making him wail like a dying animal. *****When it's time for us to go see Rascall Esteves, in this same hotel by the way, I walk to Birdie and Angel's room. And I'm swaying a little more than normal, but that's awesome. I'm in an awesome state of drunkness where I don't give too much of a fuck about the stuff that usually keeps me on edge, but I'm also not going to do stupid shit. I knock on the door and when Eros opens, he's shirtless. "I said eight PM on the dot!" I complain, then I shake my head, "You can't do nothing right.""And you smell like a drunk," he scof

    { Saint }This whole trip is destined to fail and I can't believe I put myself in this situation because now I have nobody to blame, only me. Because I wanted to do something nice for once. That's the last fucking time I decide to not take the selfish route.Now, no matter what I do, there's chaos everywhere. I completely fucked up by exploding at him on the jet, now he feels like he needs a rebound. From me. He's set on getting himself another man and I wish I could hand him off to someone else and just get rid of him completely, but... you guessed it, my wolf is not going to stand for it. Not even a little bit. I groan and rub my face as we wait for the food, wishing I could grab my brain and throw it all the way across the sea. "You want to walk off, talk about it?" Brody offers while the others are deep in another conversation. I shake my head, "Are you sure? Because I can tell you're getting agitated. And I can guess why."I don't have to talk about my feelings, but stepping a

    I get up and pace, starting to get anxious for no damn reason. I have to enjoy this stupid amazing place, not lose my shit because Saint is being nice to someone who isn't me. "Birdie," he says, calling my attention, "You okay? We'll all meet here in forty minutes.""Right," I mutter and turn around to walk to my own room. Angel sighs and follows me, but we stay silent until we reach the room. I'm so in my head, I can't even enjoy how cool this room is, even as Angel goes to open the curtains and the sea is right there."Oh, wow, this is so beautiful," he lets out and that's when I force myself to enjoy the beauty of it. So much blue, so much water, "Are you excited to be here? You look a little sour, Birdie.""I'm cool, just annoyed at Saint," I murmur, sighing an walking away from the window. I'll try to appreciate the view later, "You heard what he said to me. In the jet.""Of course, we all did. Even the pilot, I'd guess," he murmurs, sitting on one of the beds, "But part of my j

    "Get away from the door," I say, trying my best to keep it together because he said his peace and there's nothing I can respond to him and keep my dignity. All I can do now is move on and set my eyes someplace else. "I'm sorry, you just pushed me," he murmurs, taking his hands away from his face, "When I say stop, you have to stop.""No, Saint. When I say something, you have to do it," I correct him, "You're not the boss or the Alpha in here, I am."I can see the way he wants to growl again, his distaste over my words is fucking evident as all hell. Great, I love that. Now I know where to hit. Cult trauma. And luckily, that makes him move away from the door so I can walk out. This jet it's not huge and the walls aren't soundproof at all so the awkwardness in the air is more than palpable. I don't give a fuck, but I bet this is going to kill Saint. If he wanted to keep our situation in secret, he just ruined it by yelling at me in a homophobic rage that only proved how deep in the cl

    We have to wait like twenty minutes for the jet to actually take off and when it starts, my anxiety returns at full force but Sammy grabs my hand and we both just suffer through it together, then we laugh when the plane stabilizes in the air. "Holy shit, that felt a lot worse than I thought," I admit, laughing to release my nerves. Sam laughs but she's still squeezing the fuck out of my hand so I try to make her laugh for a while and when I finally succeed in making her feel more at ease, I start to look back at Saint again. I can't stop focusing on him and thinking about all the questions I'm planning to unload on his ass as soon as I'm officially in another country. He won't be able to take it from me then. But I don't think I can wait the over four hours of this flight for them... or maybe I can, but I just don't feel like It. I want to fucking know everything about him right now and I also want him to tell me what he feels about me. And then maybe do something about it.After be

    "So, you being a part of the military is a lie?" he asks, I shake my head because that's a main part of why I'm so good about killing and stuff, "So, is being in the military a requirement for the Alpha position?" "Exactly," I nod, glad I'm lying to a person that comes up with his own answers, "They think there's going to come a point where I'll have to protect all of them, so I have to be ready and capable. And of course, I am." "Oh, it makes sense why every man is so jacked, then. That's the beauty standard for the cult, everyone wants to look like the Alpha," he murmurs, almost to himself. He's smiling now, like he's excited I'm being so open. To be fair, I'm not even lying that much, I'm just omitting the most important part, "I'll be honest, I kinda get it. I'd join the cult, it sounds fun." "it's not a cult," I growl, "It's a community and it's all families. You wouldn't be able to join, you have be blood somehow." "Or marry into it, I'm guessing, unless you're all fucki

    "Stop showing me shit," I growl at nothing in general and hit my head with my hand, "WHO IS IT?!" "Your boss," Birdie responds, giving himself permission to walk inside my room. Of course, "Future boss, whatever. I just want to know why you’re acting like your asshole self again. I thought we were friends, after everything we've been through. You said you're my mate, I thought that was like the Canadian lingo for besties." I close my eyes, so annoyed even at myself. At my wolf, for saying that word. "No, that's just a word that means nothing," I spit, but then I force myself to push my anger down. And this time is easy because now there's something new clawing at my mind. The fact that Birdie and I talked about me seeing the future, openly. So, I decided to tell him about my abilities at some point. How the fuck did I go about that? Did I tell him about me being a werewolf too? I guess I could check the future, but no. That'll only make the visions worst. They'll attack me every

    "Timmy! Get your fucking ass over here!" I yell in the future, looking at the new artwork he left in the wall of our bedroom, "RIGHT NOW!""It wasn't me, dad. I swear to god," he lies, running to me. He has brown hair in a bowl cut and his bangs are getting super long again, almost hiding his blue eyes, "Oh, you mean that? Yeah, it was me. Cool, right?""No, it's not fucking cool!" I yell and go grab him by the back of his neck to take him back to his room. I'm not being rough, but he starts crying immediately, "I'm going to make you paint over the wall. And I'm going to confiscate all your fucking markers. And you're going to stay inside your room forever.""Daddy! Help!" he yells and starts crying, "Ouch, this man is hurting me! He's hurting me! HELP!""Yes, continue testing my patience," I growl, bringing him to his room. I instantly look around for his favorite things so I can take them away. But just a minute later I hear Birdie running to save his baby, "Don't even try, I'm doin

    "If you do this," Elio starts as soon as I walk inside the office, like our previous conversation didn’t end, “You'll be held responsible for anything that happens to Eros.""I know that. At this point, you really think you have to say that to me?" I ask, raising an eyebrow. Being respectful is a little harder than usual right now, "I will take care of him, probably a lot more than I should take care of a twenty four year old man. Also, you know my cousin now, I can let him with you as a warranty.""Something tells me you don't give too much of a shit about him," Elio says and I can only laugh, "Fine, I guess you can take Birdie with you. I'll get a passport ready for his... you still have the one I gave you last time?""Yes, Sir," I respond, but then I realize Brody won't go back home if his mommy doesn't order him to. And I can't leave his stupid ass alone, "But... can you make one for my cousin? He also doesn't have one. He's the one who helped me come here undocumented because he
