“Keegan, I heard the party is taking place this afternoon. I informed him, scrolling through my phone.“Yes, sure. I heard that too. How did you figure it out?” “I have a phone, remember? I was also notified.” “oh.” He chuckled. “I’ll change into a swimsuit now. I think Mae and Chloe got me some of them.” “Let me know when you’re ready. I’ll be right back.” He rose up from the bed and left the house. “Where’s he heading to now?” I asked no one in particular and started searching my bags for what I could wear to the beach. I remembered they had packed a few swimsuits and lingerie for me and as I dug into them, there was literally nothing that wasn’t too revealing. “How the hell did I let them buy these for me? Didn’t they stop to think that I’ll want to swim in public?” I complained. After a few more minutes of trying to search for an at least appropriate swimsuit, I finally concluded on wearing a one-piece swimsuit. It looked like a bra and panty that had a strap that connected
“What?! How’s that even possible?” I wondered. “I don’t know. Just help me out, please. I don’t think I can hold on to the remaining piece for any much longer. I stared around to see if there was anything I could grab but nothing at all. “Please stay still. I’ll be right back. I scuttled away and headed over to the receptionist. “Hi Mr. Gray,” she grinned at me. “I need a large towel and a robe right now.” I asked, glancing back in high hopes that Jane could still hold on. “What?” She looked so confused. “Right now!” I demanded, slapping my hand to the table. "Okay, okay." She trembled and quickly left. I paced around, tapping my hand against any object it landed on till she scuttled back with what I had requested for. "H-here." She stuttered and dropped them on the counter. I quickly grabbed it and ran back to Jane then dropped the robe on the sand. She had her hands on her shoulders with panic in her deep blue eyes. I walked into the water to meet her. "I lost the piec
I heard the rumbling sounds of an engine from outside the beach house and dried my hands with a towel before heading out, wondering who the hell disturbed people with an engine at such an hour of the night. When I got out, I was surprised to see Keegan on a really cool black bike with a helmet on his head and another helmet on the bike handle. He did something that made the engine roar again. “Whoa, where did you get this from?” I swept my hand over the head of the bike. “A long story, but anyway, there’s a bike. Hop on.” “Where are we heading to?” “The concert is coming up soon. We can go on a bike ride and maybe do other things before heading to the club. I was grinning ear to ear as I responded, “sounds like fun! I’ll grab the tickets and get into denim trousers.” “Hurry up. This baby needs exploration.” He rubbed the bike. I headed back in and got into denim jeans and a black crop top, then I grabbed a purse Chloe had bought for me and slid my phone and the tickets into t
I stormed to them and pulled the lady from Keegan. I had no business with her, so I glared at him instead. “Seriously? Is this the best you can do?” I asked and he frowned as well. “I agree I left for a while, but do you have to stoop so low to other women to get back at me?” My blood was literally on fire at the moment. “What? Are you jealous?” His frown transformed into a smirk. His nonchalant attitude raised my fury beyond limit, my body was vibrating from the heat of infuriation. “Jealous?” I scoffed. “Do you think I'm stupid? I feel like slapping you right now, but of course, you’re the Alpha. Who am I even kidding? You can do what you want, right?” I let out a mirthless laugh. “What the hell is wrong with this bitch?” one of the women said, three of them had disgust-filled glares directed at me. “Yeah, who the fuck is she to interrupt us?” The lady that was kissing him said and suddenly pushed me backwards. The force at which she pushed me made me fall backwards and draw p
“Where is your Alpha now?” Chloe asked.“I have no idea. I think he had to attend to something.” I shrugged, lying on the bed with my phone held above my face. “Aren’t you supposed to know everything about each other now?” She chuckled, grabbing a pack of chips, disturbing my ears with its sound as she opened it. “Uh?”“How can I know everything about him?” I rolled my eyes “Where’s Mae?”“She’s in… oh, she just walked in. Mae, Jane’s on the phone. Where have you been?” “Nowhere!” She quickly replied, drawing my suspicions to her. She walked over to the camera and waved her hand, dropping a bag beside her. “What’s up Jane?” “I’m good. How’s everything over there?” “It’s going really great. You’re glowing excessively. Are you certain we shouldn’t be preparing for the arrival of the next Alpha to this pack?” She teased. I rolled my eyes at her. “Do you ever stop rambling nonsense?”“Are you fucking kidding right now? Why not?” Chloe wondered. “Haven’t you seduced him? You know thi
~ MASON ~“Good morning.” I planted a soft kiss on Crystal’s forehead and grabbed my coat. “Good morning.” Her voice was cold as she wore her scrubs over her, ready to leave without another word. “Wait. What’s with that attitude?” I squinted my eyes at her. “What attitude?” She asked with a frown. “That one. What’s wrong?” I dropped my coat, paying closer attention to her. “Of course, there’s nothing wrong. Do you see anything wrong? No, then let me be.” She wanted to leave but I still held her. “You have to tell me what’s up with you.” “Let me be, I have to head to work.” She yanked her hand from my grip and took her leave without another word. “Did I do something wrong and don't remember? Why’d she suddenly be grumpy?” I asked myself. I was starting to get bothered over her attitude then remembered that she was pregnant, so these pregnancy mood swings were supposed to be expected. “Jeez. I’ll give her time to calm down.” I grabbed my coat again and wore it over my shirt. *
Just because we were both very bored and wanted to enjoy each other’s company, we had agreed to go on a walk together and here we were, walking hand in hand by the shore of the beach without exchanging any words. I just couldn’t get over the sparks that flowed through me from my hand being connected to mine. It felt so strange that we were normalizing these things, when in reality, it wasn’t normal. How could I pretend to be his girlfriend and normalize that I was always experiencing scintillating feelings when he touched me? I always enjoyed being kissed by him and always wanted more than a kiss, I was jealous when he was with other women. It was certainly not normal, but for now, I was going to let it remain normal just to maintain my sanity.The silence between was also boring, yet calming. “So .. what do you think of me now? During the period of the vacation, do you see me as a better person and not the monstrous arrogant Alpha you know?” He asked. “Well… I guess so.” I shrugge
Keegan groaned for the umpteenth time. “Remind me to throw a lot of things at Mason when we return. He wouldn’t stop mind linking me.” He complained. I chuckled and shoved the last bag into the car trunk.“He keeps saying that we should head back quickly. Does he expect us to just teleport right there and now?” He rolled his eyes. The driver Keegan had hired to drive us to the airport walked up to us and waved his hands. “Hello. I’m Mike and I’m at your service.” He said with a warm smile. “Great. We’re heading to the airport like I already said. Are you ready now?” Keegan asked. “Sure, the car key?” he asked and Keegan threw it to him. He caught it without stress and opened the door to the driver's seat to get into it. I heaved a sigh as I stared back at the beach house. “I feel so sad that I’m leaving the beach house. I've made memories here and there that I can never forget. “Me too. It gave me the opportunity to discover new qualities in me through you, so it’s also a grea
