Begging for survival

Chapter 22 - Nude party and bickering

Dean POV

I can’t believe I fell for that, that I actually believed she would suddenly have a change of heart.

Damn it, I felt like I was flying above cloud nine for a brief moment before I came crushing to the depth of the earth.

I said I'd be her glorified bodyguard, but not a pawn in some game she is playing to piss off her dad.

I always thought that I walked around with a broken heart, wanting a girl I can’t get, loving her from a far, but this… this is how a broken heart feels like.

When the love of your life makes you feel like you are nothing but a thing to use, to manipulate your feelings like that… it’s just brutal.

I’m feeling so low that I don’t even have the energy to keep my wolf form, so I’m strolling through the woods till I reach the furthest clearance from the pack house, ass naked I might add because I don’t have the energy to wear shorts too.

That’s when I see the asshole.

“What the f**k are you doing here?” I Ask Max, who is sitting down leaning on a tree with a bottle of alcohol in his hands.

“Oh s**t, I didn’t need to see that, wear some f*****g pants or something” he says in disgust.

“No” I simply answer as I reach to grab the bottle out of his hands; I guess I got too close.

“What the f**k mother fucker?, your mother f*****g d**k just touched my arm” he snarls as I gulp the rest of the bottle. Do hunters snarl? ... Whatever.

“Consider yourself one of the lucky ones then” I say with a wink.

“Lucky? The only thing I’m considering is how to cut off my arm after it's been touched by this diseased thing, you manwhore”, he says rubbing his arm with some leaves. Stupid.

“Look who is talking, if it isn’t the p***y hunter” I say reaching for the other bottle he brought and slump next to him.

“What? I don’t hunt them, they just fall on my lap” he says with a smirk,

“You mean fall on your d**k” I say starting to gulp the other bottle.

“You son-… actually that was good” he says chuckling.

“So what are you doing up that early?” I say handing him the bottle.

“Haven’t slept, you?” he asks then start drinking too, or continue drinking to be accurate.

“Wish I had never woke up”,

“From the status you are in, one would assume you had a happy morning with some girl, but from the scowl on your face I guess it wasn’t that happy?” he says, handing me the bottle back.

“No, it was a glorious morning, then it turned into the worst memory I’ll ever have”, I say and you’ve guessed it, drink again.

“Your mate?” he asks.

“Yup… you haven’t slept because of yours?”,

“Yup” he answers.

“Aren’t we some lucky bastards?” I mock.

“A bastard, that I definitely am” he says, grabbing the bottle out of my hands and start chugging it.

“What the f**k is going on here? And why are you naked Beta?” Derek asks, trying to comprehend the scene infront of him.

“It’s not what it looks like” I start to explain.

“It is exactly what it looks like, two men, drinking their sorrows in the woods and one of them is naked, oh and I’ve touched his dick.” Okay, Max is officially drunk, I guess he has been drinking way longer before I came.

“Who touched whose d**k?” Dylan joins the f*****g party and Max start taking his cloth off.

“Max, what the f**k are you doing?” I ask suspiciously.

“Well, these two are half naked and you are butt naked, I feel like I’m over dressed” he says, taking off his pants.

“I feel like I came in late for some sort of a weird party” Dylan says confused.

“Yes, a nude party” Max says, trying to take off his underwear, but I stop him.

“Dude I touched your d**k again, we are d**k buddies now” Max starts to slur, and Dylan is bent over laughing while Derek as always when he is around Max, looks annoyed and trying to suppress a laugh at the same time.

“Dean, I think it’s time you took Max back to his room” Derek says.

“Why me?” I ask with a groan.

“Because you are his d**k buddy” Derek says laughing his ass off, asshole.

It’s after dinner and we are all hanging out in the private living room, minus Max. Of course, he is still not forgiven, not that he will ever be, especially after his declaration of love for Alexandria.

Sophia and Dylan are cuddling up giggling and whispering about something in one of the rare moments when they are without a baby vomiting or in need of a diaper change around them.

I’m just sitting there sulking waiting for the old bickering couple beside me to pick a damn movie before we all die of old age.

“What about that one?” Alexandria suggests again. It’s the tenth suggestion.

“No” my d**k of a brother objects again. Ria takes a deep breath then says,

“Why don’t you pick one? Whatever you want, we will just watch it”,

“ No, it’s fine, we’ll watch your next pick, whatever it is”, Derek says and Alexandria picks another movie.

“Except that one”, Derek objects yet again and I’m about to shove the remote up his ass.

“What’s your problem Derek?” Alexandria says slamming the remote on the table, finally fed up with my brother.

“I guess I just don’t like your choices” he says like he is hinting about something else,

“Will I chose you, didn’t I” she says throwing her hands in the air.

“No, you made me reject you, remember? But you were just fine accepting another, even bringing him to live with us”, Derek says through gritted teeth, this is getting ugly.

“Guys, calm down” Sophia tries, but they ignore her.

“For f**k sake, we dated when we were teenagers, get over it” Ria says standing up, irritated with him.

“Is that all you did, mate? Or maybe I should find out the rest of the truth from your ex-boyfriend. He seems to be more honest than you” Derek says narrowing his eyes.

Oh s**t, Derek just dug his own grave with that one.

“Oh, you are the one to talk about exes being brought to this house; at least mine didn’t try to kill you… several times” and with that Ria shuts him up… or so I thought.

“Well, technically” oh no brother, just shut up.

“Technically what Derek? Huh? Because we were still mates when you brought her, or do you mean when you f*****g kissed her?” Ria yells in his face.

“She kissed me, so technically I didn-” Derek tries to defend himself, but only makes it worse.

“Say technically one more time, I dare you” she challenges him, f**k.

“Don’t do it Derek” I tried to warn him.

“Technica-” Derek doesn’t get to finish because she just punches him in the nose before she stumps out of the room.

Derek falls back on the couch with a bleeding nose and it feels like a déjà vu.

Edward POV

“So do we all agree on this plan?” I ask the few alphas in-front of me and they silently nod in agreemant.

Eric, his brother and a couple more are not included, of course, they don’t like to get their hands dirty and get the job down, cowardly hiding behind fake morals.

“Then it’s done, I will set a date and inform you when the time comes, now leave as discreetly as you came” and they do, then I turn to my beta.

“Are you sure that those reinforcements will be there?” I ask Lincoln.

“Yes, alpha, he won’t fail me, he wants to see the crimson river fall as much as I do… I mean we do” Lincoln corrects himself.

Sometimes I feel like he hates Derek stronghold more than I do, he was really a loyal beta to my father as was his father before him.

“Are you sure your friend has the power and means to go through with this plan with us?” I ask again, this plan can’t fail or we will all die.

Lincoln still won’t give me a straight answer about who his friend exactly is, but I don’t care as long as he is on our side.

“Oh, yes, he is very powerful, they won’t have a chance” he says with a sinister smirk. I guess that will do.
