Chapter 5-A Gigolo!
1439 Words
AJ POV
We are hanging at the clearing by the crimson river late in the afternoon with sulky Caleb.
Relaxing in our foldable chairs, waiting for the sun to set.
We brought alcohol but it looks like we are not going to drink it.
And by we, I mean Theo and me, because Caleb is chugging the damn thing.
Fortunately, this time Theo, our trusted friend and one of the very few people who knows about Sara, is with us.
Actually, Theo was the one to take Sarah off of the battlefield and to a doctor, before she disappeared, that is.
I love my twin brother but I can’t take his sourpuss ass anymore, it’s been a year for crying out loud.
“So Theo, how is Jen?” I ask Theo about his mate and soon to be baby momma.
“Her morning sickness finally stopped, so thank the goddess for that” Theo says with a sigh.
“You don’t look too happy about that” I wonder.
“No, I’m happy. It’s just been replaced with morning crying session about … well, everything” he explains.
“Well, big whoop. She is creating a life inside her, so suck it up and stop being a whinnying b***h” I brush him off.
“You are right. It’s just when I see the prince of gloom and complain over here, it kinda triggers the whinnying b***h inside me” Theo whispers, chuckling, so Caleb won’t hear him.
Which reminds me.
“You are hogging that bottle, Caleb, I mean why do you even pour it into the glass first? Just chug the whole thing, why won’t you?” I say quite annoyed with the empty glass in my hand.
“Sorry, I just had that feeling a few hours ago that’s kinda taunting me” Caleb says with worried eyes.
“What kind of feeling? Is it the same as the other times?” Theo asks, referring to the couple of times Caleb thought he felt his mate.
“Yes, that primal fear and despair, but this time it was stronger than I ever felt” Caleb explains.
“I don’t think it’s her, Caleb. You didn’t mark her. You shouldn’t feel what she feels” I tell him.
“I don’t know, AJ. I just know it’s her. I really need..AHHH” Caleb doesn’t even finish his sentence and clutches his chest.
The bottle drops out of his hand, crashing to the ground and he falls right behind it screaming.
“WHAT’S WRONG?” I shout, jumping out of my chair and going to him.
Me and Theo roll him on his back, all the color is draining from his face, still screaming in pain.
“What the hell is happening?” Theo asks, as worried as I am.
“She is … She is” Caleb tries to say something but he is out of breath.
It’s like his soul is leaving his body.
“We have to get him to the hospital” I tell Theo.
We try to pick him up but he grabs our arms, digging his fingers into our skin, like a last attempt for him to say something.
“She’s dead” he says just above a whisper, his eyes filled with tears of pain and sorrow, just before they close and his head falls back.
“CALEB” I scream at him.
NO NO NO.
“What the f**k is happening here? .... oh my goddess, was he attacked?” James, who shows up out of nowhere, asks as he rushes towards us.
He must have heard Caleb’s screams.
“Just help us carry him” I don’t answer his question. I have no time for that, I need to get my brother to the damn hospital.
Just as James reaches for him, Caleb suddenly takes a deep breath with his eyes wide open.
“Cal?” James asks staggered, not knowing what’s really going on.
“I think she is back” Caleb says with a sense of relief and a faint smile.
“How is that possible?” Theo asks.
“I don’t know but she is not safe, I have to find her and find her soon” Caleb says anxiously.
“We will, brother, but first” I say but James cuts me off.
“First, you tell me who the hell is she? and what the f**k is going on?” James asks, crossing his arms with piercing eyes.
A frantic Caleb, suddenly stands up and grabs James from the collar and says,
“She is my mate, and we have to find her” he says in desperation and urgency, and dare I say… Crazy eyes.
“Your WHAT?” James almost yells, shocked.
“His mate. And you can’t tell anyone, especially Maxima” I warn him.
“Oh f**k!” James says in frustration, still in Cal’s grip.
Yeah, the secret is out! and we are all f****d.
Max POV
We come out of the tree line, and we see a bar.
It looks like a cozy town bar with a wooden … well, wooden everything.
I just look at Emma and she knows what I want.
She just nods as eager as I am to have a meal, so we head inside.
Thankfully, we are all dried up now and actually clean from being in the pond.
We go in, and understandably, all eyes are on us.
Probably because Emma is barefoot, or the fact that I’m half naked with an almost see-through pants, but I have nothing to hide anyway, I’m very proud of my…self, I’m proud of myself.
We sit at the bar and ask for the menu.
The bar tender gives us a wary look, definitely recognizing that we are not from around here, before he goes to grab the menu.
I have no idea how we are going to pay for the meal, but we can figure that out later, because I’m so f*****g hungry like I haven’t eaten in decades… you know what I mean.
“Hello, I’m JJ. Wanna f**k?” ,
before we even have a chance to order, a beautiful, dark haired with the most stunning hazel green eyes, approaches us.
I choke from the surprise and start coughing my lungs out.
What the hell!
“Are you okay?” Emma asks me worried.
“Oh, you guys together?” JJ asks, a little mortified.
“No” I answer a little too eager, still coughing a little bit.
What! It’s been a while, over 20 years kinda while.
And she is gorgeous … it’s not an easy offer to refuse.
But I have Emma with me and we are on the run.
Although I can’t turn this girl down, I just can’t.
When did I become such a horndog… okay, I’ve always been a horndog.
“So, my place or yours?” JJ asks like it's a done deal.
Damn! She is forward and I love it!
And yes, I know she is a werewolf and who am I kidding? It is a done deal!
“Yours. We are from out of town, and we actually lost all of our stuff” Emma answers for me, more like decides and I ain't complaining. I mean look at the curves on this girl's body!
“I’m not into girls” The stunning JJ says, a little embarrassed.
“Neither am I. We just need a place to stay the night. You guys can do whatever you want as long as I’m not in the same room… come on, help a fellow wolf out” Emma says, like it’s a business deal.
Did she just pimp me out?
JJ looks at me surprised.
“It’s okay. He knows about us… and he can keep up” Emma says with a wink.
She is whoring me out!!!
I feel so cheap all of a sudden.
“Good. Let’s go” JJ says after finishing the drink in her hand all in one gulp.
“Wait, but we didn’t eat yet” I tell Emma.
“We don’t have money for food, we’ll grab something at her place” she retorts.
JJ leads the way while Emma almost drags me with her.
I stick my hand in the nut bowl on the bar and manage to get a hand full of nuts as I’m being dragged away.
I apparently will need the energy at my new job… a gigolo!
We go with her in her car and to her place.
What the f**k just happened?
