ERIS. We played with the water, splashing water over each other’s bodies, laughing and running on the sand. We were already dressed and had lost track of time. He picked me up, and twirled me around, and we fell against the wall, our clothes were drenched. “I don’t think we have any extra clothes.” “We’ll go home.”“Like this?” “It’s probably past midnight, nobody is going to know.” He held my hand and pulled me to his chest. “I’ll carry you, you don’t have to walk.” “It’s far.” “I didn’t complain.” “You got wounded, remember.” “I’m healed.”“Liar,” I said, and hit his arm, he whined. “That hurt, Eris.”“I’m sorry,” I said, laughing. We sat back, and I took the box and cleaned up the injury to his arms. He watched me while I did it, his seductive gaze got me every time. After I dressed his wound, we made our way back home. He held my hand, kissing it at intervals. At some point, he carried me in his arms, my hand went around his neck, and I rested my head on his chest. H
OCEAN.She held the box Flynn had been holding earlier. I got up from the ground, her hand went to my chest, and she made me sit back down on the sand. She moved over to my side and rolled up my shirt without a word. I grimaced when she started cleaning the injury on my arm. “You thought I wouldn’t be able to find you.” “That’s what I thought.” She fluttered at me, and I smiled softly and watched her. I lifted my finger and caressed her face with it. When it got to her lips, it rested on it for a minute, and she bit it. I chuckled and took my fingers away from her lips. She wrapped my injured arm and kissed it after she was done. “You met Flynn.” “I came to find you in the tent, and saw him picking up the box.” She stretched out her legs before me. “Why did you run away?” “I felt like I did something wrong.” “You didn’t do anything wrong. It was a duel, and you won, there was going to be a winner eventually.” Her hand touched mine. “He was wounded.” “You got injured too.”
OCEAN.When I saw Eris, the confidence that I thought I was lacking came. I had seen her for a day, and I hadn’t thought she would come. I had asked Flynn a lot of times if they were here, and he kept giving me negative answers. Until I came out and saw her, sitting there with Vale. I couldn’t help but smile when my eyes met hers. She was staring at me too. When the duel started, I wasn’t quite sure of myself. I had self-doubt if I would be able to defeat him, and when he had the first blow that wounded me, I knew he wasn’t going to take it easy on me. I groaned and stared at the wound on me, and I ran into him. The words he said to me started replaying in my head, and everything that had transpired between us since that time at the hospital, he had me locked in there for a week, his words to me. It all got me angry, and I attacked him. We crashed into each other, biting and snapping. My fangs got hold of his neck, and I pushed him off. He rolled up to the other side. “I will g
ERIS. I settled for a pair of jeans and sneakers. I had my hair tied in a messy bun, I picked up Ocean’s necklace and wore it. My finger touched the sign on the necklace. The only ones left in the house were Mom and me. I was almost done dressing up. I hadn’t seen Ocean the whole day, even last night, he wasn’t home. The last time I saw him was when we were having breakfast, and Mom drove me off to school. I hadn’t seen him since then. I had sent him messages, and he hadn’t replied to any of them yet, and his phone had been turned off. “Are you ready, Eris?” “Yes, Mom.” I dropped my hand, grabbed my phone, and placed it in my pocket. I stared around my room to see if I was missing anything, but there wasn’t anything left. I came out of the room and closed the door. I came out of the house, and Mom was in the car with Davis in the driver’s seat. “I don’t know why I’m nervous about this,” Mom muttered. “I have seen him fight before, but not with his son. They would both end up g
ERIS. “You weren’t in your room last night, Ocean.” Alpha West said when we started eating breakfast. That was the first thing he said the moment he saw Ocean come down for breakfast. “Where did you spend the night?” I held my fork, and stared down at my meal. I heard Ocean’s footsteps, he pulled a chair, and sat down. “I think I asked you a question.” “I had something to do,” Ocean grumbled and scratched his head. “We’ll have a word after breakfast,” Alpha West concluded, and I slowly put the meal in my mouth. “I will drive you to school today, Eris,” Mom said. She probably wanted to ease the tension that was in the air. I nodded at Mom. “And tomorrow evening is the duel. You don’t have to be there, Eris.” Alpha West remained. I had almost forgotten about it. “Mom and I will be there. It wouldn’t be nice if we didn’t show up, right, Mom?” “Yes, West. We’ll be there.” Mom said and touched my hand on the table, and she touched Ocean’s hand too, and smiled at him. I noticed
OCEAN. When I saw her in that dress, looking so beautiful, the necklace that she wore made her look perfect. She didn’t object when I pulled her closer to my chest, and my hand was on her waistline, she didn’t pull away from me. She gave in to my touch, and this time, we both took the initiative, with the way she stared at me, and just how I stared at her. Our lips crashed against each other. Her hand went over my head, and her back was over the wall. My hands roamed over her body. “You looked so beautiful in that dress,” I whispered when I pulled away from her lips. “…and you wore the necklace that I got you.” That was the first thing I saw when she walked into the restaurant. And how she radiated the whole place when she came in. I had my eyes on the whole time she was there. I couldn’t seem to take them off. I wanted her, and I wanted her to want me as much as I wanted her to. I placed my hand on her face and smiled softly at her. “Can you take my dress off?”I nodded, a
