Grey was so perfect.
I was watching him sleep the next morning. He looked so peaceful. His hair was strewn across his forehead and his nose twitched adorably. I wanted to kiss him again, but I didn’t want to wake him up.
Instead I kept watching him with a smile on my face.
Finally those beautiful eyes fluttered open and a smile spread across his face. “Morning beautiful.”
“Morning,” I whispered. “I really enjoyed our date last night.”
“So did I…can I kiss you again?”
I grabbed his face and kissed him hard. Grey dragged my body over to his before wrapping his arms around me.
“Grey?”
“Yeah Celine?”
“What um…what does this mean?”
“That we like each other. It can just mean that for now. We don’t have to move fast or anything.”
“But we can still kiss right?” I asked.
“Of course we can.” Grey kissed me again.
I loved kissing him.

Grey was so dreamy.
My eyes couldn’t help but wander over to him during the meeting. The way he ran his fingers through his hair and listened intently was so attractive to me. I looked at his lips as he licked them absently. I already missed them against my own.
“Celine?”
“Huh?” I asked.
“Can you tell the Bonepikes about Sela please?” Enzo asked.
“Oh right!” I jumped up. “Hi I’m Celine. So, I assume you have heard of The Seraphic Paragon?”
The Bonepikes nodded.
“Great, well, she has projected some of her powers onto me and so I can kind of see into her mind.”
“How?” Pierce asked.
“It’s when I’m asleep. It’s like I accidentally tap into her mind. I have no idea where she is right now, but I know she’s safe in her castle. However, she likes using her powers, so I fear it won’t be long before The Depraved Fiend finds her. So we need to find her first.”
“What have you seen so far?”
“Well I’ve seen her save someone. Um…she really wants to leave the castle desperately. She hates being locked up.”
“So is she going to run away?” Another Bonepike asked.
“No, she’s found a reason to stay…she’s in love now.” My eyes darted over to Grey. “She’s completely and totally in love so she’s going to stay. Still we should find her as soon as we can.”
“I will talk to our Clairvoyants and Tracers,” Pierce nodded. “What do you know about who The Depraved Fiend is?”
“Honestly I have no clue who he is, but I believe Alpha Rafe does. I believe he’s with him.”
“Could he be The Depraved Fiend?” Grey asked.
“No, I don’t think so,” I said. “I heard him say that he’s working with him. But also, I don’t know anything about him, so I really couldn’t say. Enzo?”
“Um...I don’t think he’s The Depraved Fiend either.” He mumbled. “But I do know that he’s demented and evil, so we should be on high alert for him.”
“Good to know,” Pierce nodded. “Well, like I said, I will converse with our clairvoyants and see if they can locate the girl. Thank you for this information, Celine.”
“Of course, Pierce.”
I still couldn’t get over how nice Pierce was, considering what he and the other Bonepikes did. I guess I now kind of understood why Enzo wanted to work with them. They seemed pretty loyal.
I slipped out the room quickly before Enzo could try to talk to me. Grey followed me. We found a dark corner and he pulled me to him to kiss me.
“All I could think about that whole meeting was kissing you.” He whispered.
“Really? You seemed so focused.”
“I only really started paying attention when you started talking.”
I giggled. “So you were interested in information that you already knew about?”
“I was because it was you saying it.” Grey kissed me again.
“Celine?” Mira’s voice called.
“Stay here,” I whispered to Grey. “Um yes?”
“Can we talk in my room?”
“Of course!” I called back.
I kissed Grey once more. “We’ll continue this later.”
I hurried away from the dark corner and a few moments later saw Mira.
“What were you doing?” She asked.
“Just getting some air.” I smiled.
I followed her to her room. She pulled me down on the bed. “Okay tell me all about your date with Grey last night!”
I started giggling. “It was amazing Mira! We talked and looked up at the stars! And had a bit of wine.”
“Well did you get a little frisky?” Mira pressed.
I bit my lip and nodded. “We made out under the stars and then when we got back to our room last night things got a little intense. He was shirtless and on top of me and kissing my neck.”
“I was wondering where that mark came from.”
“I think he really wanted to have s*x but he was really sweet and didn’t pressure me at all.”
“Do you think you’ll have s*x with him?” Mira asked.
“Um…maybe. I mean I really like him and my body does some pretty sinful things when I’m around him.” I laughed. “Maybe I won’t be a virgin for long.”
The door to the bathroom opened and my stomach dropped. Enzo had been in there the entire time?! He had heard all about my date?
“Mira, babe, do you mind if I talk to Celine alone?” Enzo questioned.
“Um, we’re having girl time!” Mira giggled. “You can talk later.”
“I need to talk to her now.”
Mira rolled her eyes. “Fine. I’ll see what I can get out of Grey.”
She jumped off the bed and left us alone.
Enzo and I just stared at each other at first.
“Well…what do you want?” I asked.
“So you and Grey are hooking up?”
“Yeah a little bit.”
“Knowing how I feel about it?”
“Why do your feelings about it even matter Enzo?” I demanded.
“I’m your charge! You’re supposed to be here for me, not Grey!”
“I am here for you, Enzo! I learned to fight for you and I’m here because you asked me to be! What more do you want from me?”
“I don’t know, Celine, but…I don’t want to see you with him. I need you not to be with him.”
“You know what I need from you? Honesty, Enzo. I need you to be honest with me and you blatantly refuse to do that.” I hissed.
“Is this still about Alpha Rafe?”
“Yes! He’s supposed to be this dangerous man who’s after me and I don’t even know what he’s done. I don’t know how dangerous he is! Do you think me being kept in the dark is seriously the best solution?”
“You don’t understand Celine-”
“And you won’t help me to understand! So you don’t get to demand things of me. Trust me the way I trust you.” I stated.
“Oh you trust me? Were you gonna tell me about your little date with Grey?” Enzo asked.
“If you would have asked me I would have been honest. The only time I lied to you was because I didn’t understand what was going on. You understand what’s going on, you just don’t want me to.”
“I don’t know how to tell you, Celine.”
I did feel bad for him. He was clearly struggling with whatever it was, but still I wanted to know. And I was still angry with him for lying about having s*x with Mira. I didn’t understand the lie at all.
“Well then I don’t think there’s anything to say here is there?” I sighed. “I’ll see you later.”
When I opened the door, I was shocked to see Mira waiting.
“Couldn’t find Grey.” She forced a smile to her face before slipping in the room and slamming the door.
I went to my own room and there was Grey. I had a feeling Mira didn’t look too hard.
“What’s up beautiful?” Grey asked.
“Enzo knows about last night. He heard me and Mira talking.”
Grey’s face went pale. “What did he say?”
“Nothing we didn’t expect. He doesn’t like that we’ve gone on a date.” I shrugged like it wasn’t a big deal.
“Should we stop?”
“No, of course not! I like what we have. Enzo shouldn’t ruin that!”
“Alright,” Grey grinned. “Come here.”
I took his hand and he pulled me down on top of him in between his legs.
“I’ve never felt this way before, you know?”
“Neither have I,” I smiled. “I think you’re very special, Grey.”
I kissed him softly. Grey quickly took control of the kiss and rolled on top of me. He was touching me the same way he was last night. And just like last night, my body responded in an almost urgent and desperate way.
Once again Grey’s lips found my neck. My eyes rolled back as he sucked and nibbled on the skin. A soft moan floated out of me.
“I love hearing you like that,” Grey breathed. “It’s sexy.”
Never did I think I would be seen as sexy by anyone. I liked it. I slipped my hand into his shirt. I excitedly ran my fingers against his perfect abs. I pushed the shirt up and threw it on the floor. Something was coming over me that I couldn’t control.
I kissed Grey’s lips again passionately. I gasped as he groped my breast.
“Sorry,” He whispered. “Too far.”
“No, I was just surprised. I like it.” I admitted.
Grey grinned before kissing me and touching me again. If I thought my body was going crazy before, that was nothing compared to what it was doing now. There were stirrings and desires flooding my bloodstream.
Grey slowly started lifting my shirt. I would have thought that would make me uncomfortable, but it didn’t.
I raised my arms and Grey took the shirt off. His eyes raked over my body.
“Do you like it?” I asked.
“I love it.”
Grey leaned down and kissed my chest. Oh I liked that a lot!
“Oh Grey!” I whimpered.
I felt him shake. “Say my name, Celine.”
“Grey that feels good!”
Suddenly the door opened. “Dinner time-oh fuck.”
Grey jerked away from me and I saw Enzo standing in the doorway.
“Um, A-Alpha Enzo, we were just-”
“I’m more than aware of what you two were doing, Beta Grey,” Enzo glared at him. “Get dressed, it’s time for dinner.”
“Yes, Alpha Enzo.”
Enzo shook his head before slamming the door.
“He’s so pissed off,” Grey whispered. “I think I messed up.”
“But I thought you loved it,” I said.
“Oh I did Celine, I just…I’m worried about what Enzo will do now.”
“Nothing. He can’t control us.”
Well I guess he could, but that didn’t mean he could stop us.
Dinner was quiet and awkward.
I think that Mira and Enzo were fighting or something because she didn’t even breathe in his direction.
After dinner, Enzo made a beeline for me. “Celine we have to talk.”
“Enzo, Grey and I are seeing each other, just get over it.” I groaned.
“No, not about that. I want to…I want to tell you about Alpha Rafe.”
“Really?”
“Yes. Now will you take a walk with me?”
“Of course Enzo.”
Finally I would know what made Enzo so darn bitter and mad.
