(Acacia)“The fuck you did that for!?” I shouted at Austin. He was laughing from the moment Elio left until now, and quite frankly it was getting annoying. I growled and folded my arms, annoyed that he found this funny. But I didn't. I wanted to simply flirt with him, just to make Elio jealous, but he did the unexpected and kissed me. “How else were we going to do this silly? Hold hands and sing love songs?” Austin asked, after he stopped laughing. That sounded better than what happened. “Did you see the way he was acting? If I had asked him if he was jealous, he would have denied it, even though I could see that he was.” That was true, I saw the way he was watching us and I could tell that he was jealous. But, it felt like I was cheating on him, and that was not what I wanted. Even though flirting was considered cheating as well, what Austin and I had intended to do was harmless flirting, so I didn't see it as such. “I just don't think that that was the right way.” I replied, whil
(Elio)I was sitting in this office, wondering when I was going to get the hell away from here. The meeting was so boring, I felt like plucking my eyeballs out. Alex glared at me as I clenched my fist, wishing I could pummel it into one, if not both, of these Elders. If I were to allow Storm to gain control, he would have torn them to pieces already. The door opened, and Austin walked in with a frown on his face. He folded his arms and stood next to me, since every seat was now occupied. I felt a surge of anger rushing through me as I remembered the way he and Acacia were kissing. I bared my teeth at him and growled lowly in my throat as I continued to clench my fist. But, he didn't react in the slightest way. “Ok, now that everyone is here, let's get started.” Van said while he stared at us as if we were wasting his time.“The reason we called this meeting is because of the things that we have been hearing about Alpha King Elio. So, it needs to stop, or he would be in jeopardy of l
(Acacia)I was waiting for Austin to come back, but he didn't. It was the next day when I saw him, and then I started to tell him my plans. I was already excited, even though I knew that it might not work. Austin was listening to what I was saying, as if he could see this going through. “I'm just saying, though, it might not work, but we have to try something. Jeremy is from the Blue Lake Pack, but he works at the restaurant with me. If you could tell him where I am, then maybe I would be able to leave this place with his help.” Austin nodded his head while listening to what I was saying. “I've never been to a human settlement before, I hated humans because they are weak, Elio's parents have gone there, so I could use that as an excuse.” Austin replied. I chuckled and shook my head, not believing that he had said that. “They are not weak to me, or maybe it's because I'm used to them.” I replied. I got up from the bed and made my way over to the window. I pulled the curtain to the s
(Elio)I couldn't stand being here any longer, so I decided to use this time to go visit that stupid pack that thought that they could make demands. I wasn't selling any part of my land, so they should get that through their thick skulls. What the Elders said, fuck that, was getting to me as well. But, I won't listen to them, no matter the threat they made. I wasn't stupid, that much I can guarantee. After I left Acacia's room, I bumped into Jessica. I couldn't deal with her annoying ass right now, we broke up, so why can't she understand that I don't want to have anything to do with her?“You've been scarce lately, avoiding me?” Jessica asked, her tone was annoying me and right now, being on the verge of losing it, I think she should thread carefully around me. “We broke up, why would I want to see you?” I asked, trying to leave, but she stopped me by getting into my way. I raised my eyebrow at her, wondering what the fuck was her problem. “You broke up with me, I've never had an
(Elio)It took me a while to get to the crimson pack, they are so fucking annoying it's not even funny. I did promise Alex that I wasn't going to harm them, but if they say something that I don't like, I might have to reconsider. This wasn't what I wanted, but I had to do this either way. When I arrived at the pack, the alpha along with his beta, gamma, and some warriors were waiting to 'welcome me.' I chuckled at the idea of starting a war with them, I knew that Storm would take them out in the blink of an eye without trying.“Alpha King Elio, welcome. Let us head to my office so that we can talk about…" I held my hand up, stopping him from talking. “Cut the chitchat, Erick, I am here to decline your offer. No amount of money will get me to sell my land. I'm also here to warn you to stop interfering with my pack or else there will be consequences.” I folded my arms, getting into a fighting stance as I got ready to defend myself if they were to attack. Erick chuckled and shook his
(Austin's POV)I didn't know what I was doing. Hell, I wasn't even thinking clearly. What I knew, though, was that I wanted to help Acacia. She had become an important part of my life ever since I met her, so I wanted her to be happy. After I was done with pack duties, I decided to send Elio a mind link, telling him that I had to go and search for my mate in the human settlement and check on his parents. Elio believed me, and the fucker even wished me good luck, as if he couldn't wait to get rid of me.For me, I didn't want to go to the human settlement, since I made a promise to myself not to. But, here I am, breaking that promise for someone that I hardly knew.After my bag was packed for a two-day trip, I took one of the pack's cars and drove off. I could have run there, but I would very much like to keep my head in the game. Running would just be a distraction. If I showed up in his wolf form, there was no doubt that the weaklings would have a heart attack. Humans were known to
(Acacia)Something happened to Elio while he was away, I wasn't sure what it was, but when he came back, he was a different person. His wolf was now in control, and they took turns having sex with me until I couldn't take it anymore. I enjoyed it, yes, no matter how many times I've told them to stop. After they were done, Elio left without looking at me. I dragged myself to the bathroom and cried so hard while I was taking a shower. Mesha had already taken my pain away, She wanted to block my mind from remembering what had happened, but I told her no. When I calmed down, I got out of the shower and changed my clothes, then made my way towards the bed to rest. Austin hasn't been back as yet, and it's been two days since he left. I was now talking to Mesha, trying to figure out what we were going to do after this. 'I doubt that's wise. We can't wait on Austin forever. Let's just come up with different ways of leaving here. I'll…' I didn't get to finish talking when I heard a knock o
(Acacia) “Where should we go? You know that I can't go back home. Harold would just send me right back to them.” I said, trying to figure out what the hell I'm going to do now that I've escaped. I was also on the verge of panicking, but I had to try to tame it a bit. “There's this place that my grandparents owned in Minnesota that we could stay for a while, but Austin you need to head back so that your Alpha King doesn't suspect you,” Jeremy said, Austin nodded his head and sighed. “I already know that, I just want to make sure you two are safe first.” Austin's reply made Jeremy scoff. I sat there in silence, listening to the two of them bickering. Something strange was happening between them, I just couldn't place my finger on it.“I can defend myself, you know. I may not have a rank, but I'm not some wimp. Stop worrying too much. You helped me get my best friend back, and that's all that matters now.” I narrowed my eyes, wondering what the hell was going on between these two. The
