"Damn it," Elliot growls in a deep voice, pulling his face away from my neck. The door opens without waiting for an answer and our parents walk in again. I get up from Elliot immediately, but my legs are weak and I almost fall. Elliot snorts and reaches out a hand to help me, "Monroe, for god's sake, watch where you're going. I-I mean… baby, be more careful.""Really? I leave them alone for five minutes and they're all over each other again?" my dad asks, pinching his nose with his fingers and taking breaths so he doesn't lose control and strangle my mate again, "Lauren, talk to them. I can't deal with this.""Patricia thinks this camp is making a good impact on you and she assured us that your relationship with your… sergeant doesn't change the way he treats you out there," my mother says, in the serious voice she uses when she's not sure about something. She probably just wants me to go back to our pack where she can have control over me and hug me all day. She's that much of a nag.
"I'm so excited for you," Xavier says with his pretty brown eyes sparkling. I just told them everything that happened with Elliot since last night and now Xavier is 100% convinced that Elliot is already in love with me. Eva too, apparently, because she looks annoyed that he's showing so much interest in me. That should bother me, but it doesn't. Eva has always been honest with her feelings for me, so when she expresses how much she hates that we're spending so much time together and that I seem to have a chance with him, I laugh and push her away instead of giving her a dirty look and telling her she can't be my friend anymore, which would be what I would do with any of my other friends. I don't know the reason behind it, but I like that she says exactly what she thinks, even if it's cruel."Are you going to have sex with him?" Eva asks, lying down next to me on my old bed with her hands under her head."Mmm, I don't know," I think about it for a moment, relaxing from Xavier's soft
"Okay, that’s a good idea," I agree, and for the rest of the way, I hold her hand in mine wondering why people do this. It doesn't make sense. It's weird, her little hand is way too weak and tender, if I hold it too hard unconsciously, all her bones would break in seconds and I don't want that. Besides, it doesn't even feel good or anything, it's just stupid. But I guess I have to please my mate so I can have sex later. Maybe that's why people hold hands, to have sex later. When I park at the human restaurant where we were summoned, I turn off the car and mentally prepare myself for a moment."There's nothing for you to worry about, Elliot. Really," she rises in her seat until she's close to me and grabs my face, forcing me to look at her, "I love you."Her voice sounds calm, her face is serene, her scent doesn't betray her lie and for a second I'm a little afraid of the ability she has to tell lies. His green eyes are trying to consume mine with intensity and I don't know what to s
I'm so irritated and frustrated that when I see Angelique's father and he immediately tenses up and gives me a nasty look, I don't mind giving him the same back, surprising him. I don't feel like putting up with him right now. I don't feel like anything, not even controlling my wolf. Angelique takes my hand and directs me towards the table. While she and her mother hug, me and her father just look at each other, expressing with our eyes that we don't like each other and don't care to greet each other or talk. I don't extend my hand and neither does he. I'm not interested in getting along with him. Not anymore. I have no reason to be nice to him. If he decides that our bond is a lie and that I'm not enough for his mess of a daughter I don't care, it's not like we're really together, it's not like I really love her. If he dislikes me and tells his daughter to leave me, the I would have the perfect excuse to tell my mother that we are no longer together and not force me to get her ba
After that little show, dinner passes without many hiccups. Lauren asks us a lot of questions about our relationship that Angelique has to make up on the spot. Luckily, she's a very skilled liar and doesn't find that too complicated. On the other hand, Cristoff heard something he didn't like, maybe when Angelique said we skipped the punishment yesterday to go sleep in my room, not mentioning the spider incident."I've been holding back all night so I wouldn't ruin this outing, but I can't take it anymore. Your lack of ethics is honestly insulting. If you're such a good sergeant and can control your instinct so well, how come you let Angelique skip punishments whenever she feels like it? I'm quite surprised coming from the son of someone like Thorne, I would really expect a lot more from you, considering the education he must have given you..."My hands crashing on the table shut him up as Angelique and Lauren gasp in shock. A wine glass falls but I don't bother to see what happened to
"I don't get it," Angelique says with a smile growing on her dumb face, "So, this means Lesley is never coming back? We’ll have Sergeant James forever?""She'll only be gone for a few days," Luc replies, thrusting out his chest even more and smiling at all the attention he's getting, "I promise, you guys won't suffer so much with me. I'm not as strict as my partner here, Thorne.""It's nice to have a change, though. I was getting bored," Angelique replies with a flirtatious smile. This bothers me. This is not time to be flirting."Monroe. Ten push ups for that off-hand comment.""Are you serious?" She asks, giving me one of her all too familiar 'this isn't fair' looks, "That's not fair, I was just...""You want twenty?""No! I don't want twenty! Damn it..." she mutters under her breath as she gets down on the floor to do them. Over time, she's managed to do more than ten push ups without looking like she's going to die, but she still struggles with it and still hates it."Is that wha
“Kiss you? Absolutely not,” Angelique answers, but when I look into her eyes I think I recognize something in them. So, I opt for something more daring and I lower my head to start kissing and scenting her neck. Even though she’s under the general inhibitor, I can still get some of her sweet omega scent, "Don't... don't do that.”I hear distant voices and I sense that someone is about to approach, but I keep kissing her neck like I would like to kiss her lips. I'm not going to waste this moment.I may dislike Angelique, but that doesn’t change how delicious she smells, how her body feels so perfect against mine and how much I love touching her. I bring my hands down to her round, full ass, squeezing it because I missed it so much, as I keep kissing and sucking on her slender neck.She's breathing so hard and moaning so much that, the only good thing when I decide to let her go and pull away, is knowing she wants this as much as I do."What's wrong with you!” she shouts, and I anticipa
"Lesley, I don't understand what you’re saying," I mutter, rubbing my eyes and yawning because it's eleven thirty and I should be asleep by now. Instead, I'm listening to Lesley crying and babbling things I don't understand. Luc has already yelled at me twice to shut my mouth and let him sleep, and Hunter is quietly kissing his girlfriend in his bed without paying attention to me, which is now a very usual thing, "Honey, breathe and tell me again.""Max... Max dumped me. He broke up with me, told me he doesn't love me anymore, that the long distance thing is not for him and he needs someone he can see more than twice a year," she tells me quickly and sounding angry. I have to concentrate hard to understand what she is saying, "Can you believe it?""Yes," I answer, because it's the most obvious thing, “Who would want to be with someone who lives two states away from you and only visits you for three days every few months? No one. It was the most logical thing to do about this relations
