Sleep

Alpha Oliver's POV

I saw red.

Ares took control from me.

My hands went around his neck. This son of a b***h is going die today. HOW DARE HE LOOK AT MY MATE LIKE THAT?! My fingers tighten around his neck. Noah fighting my hands along with Liam who is trying to pull me away. I let go the second I took control back from Ares.

My nails were still long, and my canines were protruding and my eyes were a piercing electric blue. I snatched the dog toy from Noah's hands and we pull out of the gas station in the direction of Dallas where Noah saw her driving to.

"Call Beta Bryan and tell him EVERYTHING and I mean EVERYTHING about you saw about her, time, location and description" The hatred slither out of my mouth as I said the words.

Noah was immediately on the phone with Bryan telling him her description. Telling him the address, time, the gas pump she used. He described her car down to the year and model. He sat in the back seat while I sat in the passenger and Liam drove.

She was so close and I didn't even get to see her, I had to watch it from Noah's eyes.

Another growl escaped my lips.

He might have noticed all her best attributes but he neglected to see the smaller details. What is the purpose of enhanced sight and hearing if he didn't use them. Maybe should I be grateful he didn't?

I noticed from his vision, her hesitance of him, I noticed how she tucked her lock of hair behind her ear and exposing her 3 piercing. How her bottom lip was just slightly more plump then her top, how her hips swayed when she turned around. How her eyes weren't brown but more like warm amber. The face of a Goddess and the body of a siren

We drove into Dallas, into the Ritz-Carlton. If she was in the city, I needed to find her. Noah got us the suites while Liam brought the bags in. Checking into the room, I put my privacy sign on the door and put the latch on. I put mental block to avoid any mindlinks from everyone. I needed quiet.

The thought of her lips, of her skin, her voice sounded like bells. all of this was driving Ares and I insane, he paced back and forth in my mind still seething from Noah's thoughts.

I texted Bryan a quick message

"Anything yet?"

"Nothing yet Sir besides surveillance video from the store and the car tags." he replied a couple of seconds later.

"Send them to me anyways" I needed to see her besides Noah's thoughts.

"Yes sir"

I opened up my laptop an the desk and waited a couple of minutes when his email came up. There were multiple links, each for a camera that had her. While still grainy, I can see she was a nice voluptuous girl. Her brown hair was almost to the small of her back and every step she took on camera had a sway. She should just the right amount of skin that I would kill to touch. She opened a couple of candles and smelled them. Her face did not changed in the 42 minutes she was in the store, she looked like she was thinking of everything and nothing at all.

She paid cash at the register, great. Not helping me here, baby girl.

I could see from the last video on the pumps that she was smiling but it was before she even acknowledge Noah. Good. The thought of thinking it was him would have made me go to his room and punch him.

What I would pay to know why she was smiling. The rest I knew from Noah's mind.

I inhaled the dog toy again. Her scent is slowly dissipating. Why did she hold on to this the longest out of everything in that place. It was a small black dog. She did not look like a girl that would would own any toy breed. Maybe a medium to large breed.

Ha! the irony. This is how Ares looks like. Solid black, but his eyes were electric blue. They shone brighter than my baby blue.

Her waist was delicate and the way she had that lollipop in her mouth.... Did she find Noah attractive? I push that though quickly out of my mind. She look hesitant for a second...

Nah if she was a wolf she would have smell it on Noah...

She is human.

CRAP!

She IS human.

I sat up on the king bed. She won't have the same instant connection as a werewolf. She could still reject us without her knowing how it will affect us, how it will affect her . Ares howled at the thought.

I headed into the shower to wash the misery off me.

Sofia's POV

I made it to JT's house minutes after he did. I killed enough time at the gas station that I didn't have to be alone in his house. JT opened the door as I was walking up the drive way. Seeing him, he opened up his arms. I ran up to him and threw myself at him. wrapping my arms around his neck and my legs around his waist. Dropping my bag on the floor and squealing like a 10 year old.

"MI VIDA,MI AMOR, MI GORDA" He screamed in my ear as he spun me around landing a kiss on either side on my cheeks.

My little Cuban friend was the first love of my life, just platonic. He was gay and closeted. I wish he would come out but his parents were too religious to accept him. I was his "beard" through high school and his college years before he moved out here. His parents blamed me for him staying in Texas and I gladly took the blame. I was closer to JT then my own brothers. We were polar opposites. while I enjoyed listening to Rock and dressing in dark color specially black, he enjoyed salsa and vibrant colors. I was the shy and reserved kid in high school and he was the one the class clown. He could light up a room even in a funeral.

We said we "broke up" because the long distance was too much for me being in Florida and taking care of my mother while he was in Texas going to school. His parents knew we "broke up" amicably and still spoke to each other, his mother think he is still in love with me, oh Lucia if only you knew...

At 27 and 28 years old, most of our friends had already been in long term relationship or married with kids. We didn't speak to others as much because they went on with their lives and that of their families. JT was only older than me by a couple of months and he was as happy as I was at being single. Mostly because he was not able to enjoy his teenage years fooling around like everyone else and was still catching up. I, on the other hand could never give my everything to anyone. Even JT did not know all my secrets. He knew I dated, he knew I was no longer a virgin, he knew that I was only in 2 serious relationships prior and that the last one ended badly. He just never knew how badly it ended with Christian.

JT put me down and grabbed my bag from the floor, we both walked in together into the house.

The ridiculous smile on my face said everything. I missed my friend.

JT was just finishing up his Molecular and Cell Biology Masters and wanted to take a semester off before he went for his Doctorate. He was a smart man. I barely completed my bachelors before having to step away to take care of mom in her final years. My brothers helped financially with her while I took care of her and the house. It was the unspoken understanding. They had their own families to take care of and it's hard to bring the grandkids over to her if she was having an episode.

JT and I spoke for hours about everything. About the new guy he was seeing, Armando, and how ready he is to be done with school. He finally took me by the hand to show me around the house.

I looked around his house and you can tell his Latin roots where here. The splashes of color were everywhere. His cute one story house was cozy but just large enough to not feel claustrophobic. The large open living room and kitchen had bright reds and yellow on the wall, his leather sectional sofa was large enough for both of us to lay down in and watch our favorite movies. He showed me the spare bedroom which had fresh black sheets, black out curtains and tiny LED sting lights decorated the room. I turned to him.

" I know your color darling, I was not gonna punish you with the other salsa colors I had okay?" he said in a matter of fact.

"Now go in there, rest, shower and I will see you in 2 hours to go eat and dance okay?" JT said as he turned away and left me in the room.

He spoiled me sometimes I swear. I chuckled as I close the door. I stripped my clothes as I walk into the shower. avoiding the mirror until I am fully dressed again. I open the window to the room and jumped into the bed and close my eye just to rest for a little bit.

Tonight will be fun.
