Gabriel POV
“So are you ready for our next date tomorrow?” Sarah says with a giant smile.
Fuck, f**k , f**k.
I totally forgot about her, How the hell did I forget about her?
“Blue eyes made you forget even your common sense”
“Yeah, and you were great help” I Mock.
“I never liked that b***h to help you remember her in the first place”
“Hey, be nice”
“Gab, are you okay?... did you forget about our date?” sarah asks.
No, I forgot about you.
“Of course not, it’s just been along day with the traveling and everything” I make an excuse.
“so we are on tomorrow night?”.
“NO”
“Yes” I answer her.
“i***t”
“Pick you up at 8?”.
“Perfect” she says excited and gives me a kiss on the cheek before she walks away.
What the f**k am I doing?
“Just continuing to ruin your own life it seems”
“Very supportive phoenix”
“Always” he mocks.
Will this day ever end?
Jake POV
That was a s**t trip.
The worst trip.
I shouldn’t have gone to the damn f*****g conference.
It's not like i'm the gamma or something
I'm just a Zeta and the beta's bestfriend.
Why the hell did I go? it ruined everything.
Every time, every time I close my eyes I see her, Alex, in her naked glory.
Her blue eyes and dirty blond hair.
And she wouldn’t give me the time of day unless she is threatening me to stay away or else, just like she did before we left.
Well, I should have known better, she is a f*****g royal.
And we don’t f**k with royals.
It’s the pack slogan at this point.
I take another sip of my beer while sitting on the pack house porch when I see a very annoyed, angry and a bit frustrated beta coming towards me.
“I see you talked to your sister about her unfortunate mate” I tell Gabriel while handing him a beer bottle from my cooler.
“yup” he says slouching into the chair next to me, then drinks the whole bottle in one go.
“It looks like it was a good talk” I chuckle handing him another.
“yup, it was great… then I met Sarah on my way back and we have a date tomorrow” he says with a gloomy face.
“What? I thought you didn’t really like her that much, and what about... you know… the princess?” I whisper the last part.
“What about her?” he plays dumb.
“I thought there was something going there”, I know they mostly fight but still, I saw something between them.
“Nop, nothing but pure resentment” he says taking a sip.
“And Sarah?” I ask.
“a distraction, I guess… I know I’m an asshole” he sighs with his head falling back.
“Distraction from what? I thought you only had pure resentment?” I tease.
“Well, we do… but we almost kissed last night” he says and I can see the twirl of emotions on his face.
“WHAT!” I shout in surprise.
“Shut up before the whole pack hears you” he warns me.
“Dude, she is the roylist of the royals, and we don’t” before I finish, he cuts me off.
“We don’t f**k with royals… I know” he says slamming his head in his hands.
Told you it’s the pack slogan.
“And here comes in Sarah... The distraction” he explains.
“Just be careful”.
“I’m trying to be” he says finishing of his second bottle.
“So, now that you are the new alpha, when are you going to make me your beta? Or even gamma? I’ll take anything” I try to lighten the mood.
“I’m not the alpha, if I was, you’ll be my beta in a heartbeat… but titles or not, you will always be my best friend and right-hand Jake, you know that”.
“I know buddy, and I’ll always have your back”, at least I’ll try to.
Zander POV
I’ve been cooked up in my room with Max and Alex trying to calm me down ever since her brother took her away.
“Zander, you can’t solve this hot headed”.
“How do you suggest I solve it, Alex” I snarl.
“Maybe not by attempting murder” Max says with a pointed look.
“Who said it’s going to be an attempt?”.
“Oh, so your brilliant solution is to kill your mate’s brother? That got to make her love you” Alex mocks.
“She’ll get over it”.
“Alexander Williams, you will calm the f**k down and not approach this matter now” Max warns.
“Is that an alpha's order or a cousin’s advice?” I ask.
“Zander, listen to us, you are not thinking straight, so just let it go tonight and tomorrow we will see what we will do”, so it’s not an alpha order.
“Fine” I say with a sigh.
They both give me a hug and say goodnight.
So I take their advice and… throw out of the window.
I make my way out of the packhouse and into the woods in the hopes of catching her scent.
I know she doesn’t live in the packhouse because that is not the direction her asshole brother dragged her to.
“MATE” My wolf Jax growls and I start getting the faintest hint of her scent.
That’s the only word he’s been saying since we first laid eyes on her.
Her scent gets stronger as we approach a well tucked two stories house between the trees, if you don’t know it’s here, you will miss it.
That must be her house, her sent is very strong here.
Here she is, standing in the top floor window… a goddess with her dark hair, fair skin and brown eyes, the meaning of beauty.
I have brown eyes too, it must be fate.
I'm the only one of my siblings that has brown eyes like my father, the girls got mom's eyes.
I can’t believe the goddess blessed me with such gorgeous mate.
Instinctively, I start climbing the side of her house and up to her window, I just hope that it’s her room not one of her brothers.
“What the hell are you doing here?” She whispers yell out of her window as soon as she sees me.
“Hello Mate” I say with, what I’m sure is a goofy smile, still hanging outside of her window.
“If Gabriel sees you, he will kill you” She warns, pulling me in.
Her touch sends all kinds of goosebumps rushing through my body.
“Gabriel can’t take me down” I scoff.
“He is a very strong beta” she says so proud of her brother.
“So am- so what?” nice save, I was about to blow my cover. What was my cover again?
Yes, king’s advisor.
“So, he can beat your ass” she says with crossing her arms.
“well, I’m bigger and older, I like to see him try” I smirk, I'm quiet buff.
“Older? By how much?” she asks concerned.
And I just notice her very pink room… is that a stuffed unicorn I see on her bed?
Now, I’m the one concerned, how old is she? because this looks like a very underage girl’s room.
“No, the real question is how old are you, because from the looks of this room you might be 8 or something” I say chuckling.
Please be over 18.
“I’m 20, asshole” she says, swatting my chest so hard but I don’t feel pain, I only feel the tingles from her touch.
“How old are you, old man?” she asks with a half a smirk.
Old man?
“I’m 23” I say offended; do I look that old?
“Now why would a 20 years old girl have that much stuffed unicorns?” I genuinely wonder.
“It was a phase” she says like its no big deal but I can see her cheecks blushing with embarrassment.
“A phase that you never grew out of?” I say laughing, picking up one of them.
“None of your business, now why the f**k are you here?” she asks annoyed.
“Hey, watch your language, the unicorns might hear you” I say covering the ears of the one I’m holding.
She snatches it out of my hands and throws it right back at my face.
Okay, That one hurt.
“Alright, alright, I’m here to see you… to see my mate” I say softly, and her features turns from annoyance to sadness.
“About that”, hell no.
“No” I don’t let her finish.
“No, what?”.
“No, you are not going to listen to your brother who barley knows me, because you are a grown ass woman unlike what your room says”, is that another stuffed unicorn sticking out of her closet? What the hell?
“it’s not like that, he has a point” she tries to explain her brother’s useless point.
“And what point would that be, does he think he can defy the moon goddess?”, what is he even thinking?
“No, but he has the right to protect his family and -”, I cut her off.
“Protect you from me? Do you think I’ll ever hurt you?” I ask heart broken and angry.
Why would she think that?
What did that mother fucker tell her?
“What the f**k are you doing here?” Her other f*****g brother says barging in.
The one who took her away last time. The one who hid her from me.
"MATE" Jax growls getting possessive.
“I’m here to see my mate, obviously” I say irritated and on the edge.
What’s wrong with this family? why are they trying to keep us apart?
“Elijah, wait” she says as he comes towards me.
“She is not going to be your mate for long” he says getting in my face.
What the f**k?
“Stop, Elijah” she says , raising one hand up to her brother.
“Leah, you heard what Gab said” he shouts, getting in her face now.
That’s it.
“She is my mate, and no one will change that, not you and most defiantly not your f*****g brother” I growl, shoving him away from her.
He is getting on my last nerve.
“What are you doing?” Leah shout at me.
“She is going to reject you soon, asshole” Elijah says pushing me back.
“Ours” Jax growls again and I can feel him on the surface.
I couldn’t stop myself before I punched him, knocking him to the ground.
I will not let them make her reject me.
“ELI” Leah screams running to her brother and that’s when I realize what I’ve done.
“Leah, I didn- “ I try to say something, anything but she cuts me off.
“Get Out, Get the f**k out” she screams in anger.
“I’m sorry” I try to apologies.
“Gab was right, we can’t be mates, now get out before I make it official” she almost snarls, pointing to the window I came from.
Without saying another word, I do as she says before I ruin things even more.
I f****d up.
How did I destroy my chance in a matter of seconds like that?
