The Sweetest Honey

The past

(Goliath’s point of view)

We just got back from our date, and Clara asked to see my room. The elevator ride was hot, and I can’t get enough of her. I hear her stomach growl, and she stops walking with me.

“Sorry I guess I am still hungry.” I should definitely make sure her needs are met.

“Go ahead into the room. I will grab some snacks real quick.”

I give her a kiss and run for the stairs. I need to burn off some excitement so I don’t look too eager. I could possibly be making love to my mate, and I can’t wait to devour her completely. When I reach the kitchen there aren’t many pack members around. It is about 10:30 I think so, most of them are asleep or at least in their rooms. Why didn’t I ask what she was hungry for? I let out a sigh. I know fruit. It is sexy and it is the first thing she went for earlier. Grabbing a bowl, I load up strawberries, grapes, nectarines, cherries, and a few bananas. Whipped cream would also be nice with this. I open the next fridge and grab out the can of whipped cream. I feel hands wrap around my waste, but I don’t feel sparks.

“Get off me, Viv!” I yell and turn around.

“LACEY!”

“I sure hope this means you are pushing other women off to save yourself for me, Goliath. I see you are still unmarked, too.”

“What do you think you are doing here?” I say with a scowl clinching my teeth.

“ Today was the day I got unbanned from the pack house. I have been waiting for you.” She says sweetly like nothing is wrong.

“Well you wasted your time. My family showed me your journal, I know what you were trying to do with me.”

“You believed them!” She asks in disbelief and desperation. She keeps trying to touch me, but I keep backing away towards the elevator.

“Of course I did! They are my family, and I know your handwriting.” I am getting loud now, and my anger is starting to overflow. I can’t read her at all now, and I don’t want to.

“Your sister always had it out for me she made the whole thing up!”

“That’s bulls***, and you know it!” I need to lower my voice before people start to come over.

“Look Lacey you f***ed up my life for years. I have been through hell and back for what you have done to me. I have finally found joy again, and I need you to stay away from me.”

I am not going to wait for her response. I get into the elevator and hit the button.

“ I will never give up on us!” she yells just in time for me to hear it.

The elevator doors close, and I feel all mixed up. Not that I want anything to do with Lacey. I am truly over her. I just hope my past doesn’t take over my future now that I am finally happy. I take some deep breaths and let them out. I am going to have a good night with Clara, and nothing else matters. Getting off the elevator, I notice my door is cracked open, and there is music playing. I wonder if she has gotten started without me? A jolt of adrenaline is coursing through me as I walk into the doorway.

I stop in my tracks when I hear the voice of a troll.

“ Just look at it this way, Clara. I took Drake away from you last time, but at least this time, I had the man before you even had a chance. You won’t have to be embarrassed or heartbroken this time if you just leave before he gets back.”

F*** this is bad. I will have to get back to the Drake part later, but that B**** is about to pay for what she has said. I slam the bowl and whipped cream down as fury builds up inside of me.

(CRASH) I run over between them and get in Vivian’s face.

“Viv you are the one who needs to leave, not her.”

“Goliath honey, you said you loved me after we made love. We lost our virginity together. We would make perfect mates..”

Is this b*** for real?

“We will never be mates, Vivian.” I say through my teeth.

Clara pulls me back around to face her. My heart is crushed immediately when I see tears run down her sad face. I am the i***t who made her cry.

“Did you sleep with her.”

How do I explain what happened when I don’t remember a thing? I should have had the meeting with Viv. This could have been avoided.

“Well it’s not like that.” I say, unable to find words.

Clara looks back at Vivian, and her facial expression seems to change. I can’t help but look back too and see Vivian drop her smirk when she sees my face. I hear a door open and slam.

“Clara wait.”

I run out of the room behind her, but her door is locked, and I don’t want to break it down and scare her. I knocked a few times before I realized it’s sound proof and I hit the intercom button.

(Clara, please come out and talk to me.)

All I hear is my heart pounding while I wait for a response.

(I just need a little time alone to think. Sorry.)

I run my hands down my face in complete anger.

( Sam, get up to my room with two of your men before I kill a b****!)

(Alpha, what is going on?) I don’t bother mindlinking him back. I just go right back to my room.

Vivian was on my bed trying to look sexy but I had never seen anyone so hideous before now.

“You w***e! You ruined everything!” I was yelling now. I knock everything off of the stand on to the floor making her stand up and back up against the wall. My vision goes out and all I see is red. All I want to do is kill her.

(bam)

(Bam)

(Bam)

(Bam)

“Goliath!”

“Goliath buddy!”

“Breath buddy breath!”

All of the sudden I feel hands on my shoulders pulling me back. I stop moving and the world starts to reappear. My hand stings really bad. I look down and see it covered in blood. I think I broke it. I look up and see I busted up my wall really good. I look back and the guys are here. Vivian is hiding in the corner.

“Sam I need you to take Vivian to the dungeon for the night. I will get her tomorrow. “

“What!”

“Shut your mouth Vivian or you will be down there for a week.”

“Goliath what happened? “

“She decided to go against direct orders and pack house rules to come up here and seduce me. Even worse she upset the future Luna in the process.”

This got Sam’s attention his entire mood changed.

“Boys grab her and lock her in a cell in the dungeon.”

“Goliath what about my clothes? I need to change.”

“You can wear that for the night.” I say with disgust for her.

The guys dragged her away but business isn’t over.

“Sam I am going to need one of your guys to watch the elevator for anyone else that shouldn’t be up here. I don’t want Lacey getting the same idea.”

“I take it you ran into her.”

“I don’t want to talk about it. I need one last thing from you.”

“Anything Alpha.”

“I need you to get two buckets of chicken, two bowls of mashed potatoes with gravy and two bottles of sweet tea. Oh and a basket of biscuits . I need you to get them as fast as possible and bring them up yourself. I can’t afford anything else to go wrong.”

“Would you like some ice for your hand too?”

“No I will just clean it up myself. I won’t need anything.”

“I will be back as soon as possible Alpha.” Once he his gone I walk into my bathroom. I clean my hand with water and soap. It hurts a lot but the pain helps cover the anguish inside. I have to fix this somehow.
