Chapter 1
-Summer Break-
Evie POV:
“Oh my goddess why is it so hot?! My make up is going to come off” My best friend Whitney said whilst fanning her face
“I’m going to melt” I said wiping the perspiration from my forehead.
We were walking across the beach, on our way to the end of summer party some of the teens in our pack were hosting. We were running late due to Whitney trying to decide which bikini to wear, I haven’t seen her much lately so I was surprised when she phoned to see if I was going to the party. Whitney and I have been friends since kindergarten but lately she seems to care a lot more about how she looks, rather than our friendship.
Hopefully I’ll get a chance to talk to her about it tonight.
We head straight to the keg to fill up our cups. Human alcohol doesn’t really affect us werewolves but there is a brand called Howler that’s made specifically for our kind, rumour has it that it contains just the right amount of wolfsbane to not cause any serious harm but to allow us to feel the effects of the alcohol.
We walked around the party and were greeted by a few people we knew, Whitney and I were by no means popular, but we weren’t invisible either, we were average, and that’s how I liked it.
“Heeeeeey bitches!” Jay stumbled over to us. Jay is our other best friend, he’s one of the very few openly gay wolves in our pack.
Oh goddess he is so drunk!
“Jay, what the f**k! How long have you been here?!” Whitney asked, eyeing up his drink that was dangerously close to spilling over her new pink bikini.
“Oh relax Whit, I’m just enjoying myself, and goddess have you seen the view?! So many abs I don’t know where to look first” Jay fanned himself dramatically making Whit and I giggle.
He was right though, us werewolves are naturally fit, therefore most males had bulging muscles whilst most women were naturally slim or muscular.
I looked around and sure enough most of the guys were shirtless and were just in their swim shorts and the girls were in the tiniest bikinis. Us werewolves are used to nudity due to seeing our parents and other members shift all our lives.
Music was pumping from a large speaker, loud laughter and giggles were heard near the fire, where a group of outrageously beautiful people were laughing and counting how quick a guy could chug a beer.
The popular group.
Consisting of mainly the children of the top ranking members of our pack.
And there he was..
Gabriel Diaz
Our future Alpha
My first love
He’s so fine
“Who’s that next to Gabe?” Asked Jay, interrupting my thoughts. Sitting next to Gabriel was a Greek god, one of the best looking guys I’d ever seen, with his blonde wavy hair and bulging muscles, he was staring right at us, at me..
We stared at each other as if in a trance
“Put your tongue back in your mouth” Jay said, bringing me out of my dazed state and causing my cheeks to start burning.
Pull yourself together girl!
“Whatever, he’s not even that good looking” said Whitney, rolling her eyes.
What’s with the attitude?
“Yeah okay honey, and I’m Michelle Obama” said Jay bursting into laughter. Whitney walked off muttering she was getting another drink
“Hey Jay, do you know what’s up with Whit lately? I’ve hardly heard off her over the summer and she seems different” I asked
Jay hesitated and stared at me for a long while before bending over and and puking everywhere.
Great!
Realising I won’t get any decent information from him I walked him to the nearest set of chairs, we sat there for 20 minutes until Jay started to feel better.
“Can you grab me some water?” Jay wheezed
“Of course I’ll be right back, stay where you are” I said.
On my way to the water cooler I realised I was getting cold as the night began to set in, as I wrapped myself in my kimono I heard some noises come from the other side of the sand dune, a sort of moaning and groaning noise. Curiosity got the better of me and I decided to investigate the noise, climbing over the dune I didn’t realise what I was hearing until it was too late.
There, lying in the shadows of the dune were two people f*****g, from my position at the top of the dune I could clearly see the guys hips thrusting into the girl, making her moan with pleasure.
I was about to turn back to give them privacy when what I heard next stopped me in my tracks
“Oh Gabe f**k me harder!”
Gabe? Oh no..
“Whit, you’re so tight” grunted Gabe
Whit? As in Whitney? No, no, no.. this can’t be happening! My best friend was f*****g Gabe?!
I must’ve let out a gasp because they both suddenly stopped and looked up at me staring at them, I spun around my eyes full of tears trying to erase the image of Gabe’s lust filled eyes looking at my best friend.
Behind me I heard sand falling and footsteps as Whit shouted “Hey, Evie wait up!!”
I spun round to face her only to come face-to-face with her grinning face and disheveled hair, and an awkward looking Gabe standing behind her running his fingers through his hair. I stared at Whitney, waiting for an explanation, anything! when what came out of her mouth shattered my heart in two.
“Let me introduce you to my boyfriend, Gabriel” she said with an evil smile
I looked at her with tears in my eyes as my heart broke
How could she!
I don’t know if I was more upset over her betrayal or the fact that I always knew deep down that Gabe and I would never be together.
“Whitney, you were my best friend, how could you go behind my back this way?!” I sobbed
She scoffed and sneered “friends? I’ve been trying to get you off my back all summer, I thought you’d get the hint when I stopped replying to your messages. And the way you wouldn’t shut up about how you looove Gabe, when all along he was sneaking into my room every night”
Gabe stepped back in shock when she mentioned me loving him and stared at me in confusion.
My cheeks burned, my secret revealed.
I looked between them, at their disheveled look from f*****g in the sand and the hickeys on their necks. I realised one thing,
Whitney. Didn’t. Care.
This was her plan all along, to bring me to this party so I could find out in the cruellest way.
With one last deep breath I looked Whitney in the eyes and said
“Don’t speak to me ever again”
As I walked away silently sobbing, I picked up 3 bottles of beer and made my way to a quiet part of the beach to drown my sorrows.
Stupid, stupid girl! I should’ve seen it coming, Whit had been so distant lately.
Taking the lid off the beer I downed the first bottle and then the next, the alcohol was starting to effect me as I lay on my back and looked at the stars. I heard footprints approaching across the sand
“I have nothing to say to you” I said, thinking it was Whitney coming back to gloat. A large figure appears in my peripheral vision and settled down next to me.
That definitely isn’t Whitney
The scent of spiced cologne filled my nose and I slowly looked to my left at the person lying next to me only to see a pair of glassy forrest green eyes staring back at me in amusement. I yelped and sat up
“What the f**k are you doing here” the alcohol had clearly effected my filter
The Greek god sat up and said with a chuckle
“Nice to meet you too sunshine”
I blushed crimson and lay back down with a huff
“If you don’t mind, I’m having a tough night” I sighed
“Want to talk about it?” Greek god said
“I’d rather forget” sitting up again, I opened the third bottle and started chugging, I was interrupted when I hand snatched the bottle from mine, I turned to see the guy take a drinking from the bottle and stared as a droplet slit down his neck from the side of his mouth. He finished drinking and winked at me and said
“I can help you forget” in my dazed state I was too slow to react and before I knew it we were face to face and he was lowering his lips to mine, he must’ve taken my silence as consent as he gently pressed his lips to mine.
Oh my goddess he is kissing me!!!
The kiss, fuelled by alcohol suddenly became heated and he pulled me astride his lap as my fingers dove into his soft blonde locks, our tongues fought for dominance and a low rumble came from his chest as I felt myself get wet down there.
I suddenly came to my senses and pulled back, only for us to stare at each other in shock. Heart hammering in my chest, I quickly got up to escape and find Jay to make our way home.
Ryder POV:
What in the Goddess was that?!
I’ve kissed my fair share of girls before, but that was something else. My d**k was rock hard and straining against my swim shorts.
Who is she?
I noticed the brunette beauty when I was near the fire earlier, Alpha Diego’s son Gabriel was yapping in my ear talking about pack politics that I had no interest in, the only reason I was at the party with him was because Dad wants me to make some connections before I take over our pack as Alpha. I didn’t take in any of Gabe’s words as I spotted the curvy angel starting back me from across the sand.
When I finally managed to get 5 minutes peace I found her sitting by herself, something was bothering her. The sparks flew when we touched, like nothing I had ever felt before.
I made my way back to the party, Gabe had some girl in a pink bikini on his lap, she gave me lust filled eyes as soon as I sat down next to them.
What the f**k?!
I needed to get rid of the s****l tension that was pumping through my veins, sitting opposite was another one of Gabe’s ‘friends’, she was checking me out.
She will do
I gave her a wink and my panty dropping grin. She got up and made her way over, swaying her hips which I realised were nowhere near as curvaceous and luscious as the brown beauties. I grabbed her and we walked into the shadows where we spent the next hour, her moaning and screaming in pleasure, and me..imagining I was with someone else, someone I had kissed earlier that night.
