JAMES.‘Admit it, our mate is perfect and she’s growing on you otherwise you wouldn’t be watching her sleep.’ Zeke said excitedly via mindlinked and I pushed him back to stop him from saying more nonsense.Growing on me? More like irritating me to death. I scoffed at the thought.She would be the death of me if I even entertained her one slight bit during this vacation.'And how will she be the death of us? ' he questioned my thoughts, I ignored him completely and watched Chloe sleep next to me like an angel.Our ten-hour trip to our 'Surprise Honeymoon' as Dad called it was worth it because so far I had gotten enough sleep on our way here and I was better rested than I could have gotten at home. I should actually thank Dad for arranging it...And when we got to this paradise island, Chloe tried to insist that we get separate rooms for our stay. Zeke whined so hard in my head. I knew for me to enjoy a peaceful relaxing vacation, I had to heed his demands or else I was going to be doome
CHLOE. "What did I say wrong?!" I gasped, shocked to see James jump off the horse and walk away just because I asked him if he could ever see himself loving another woman other than his ex. FYI, I wasn't interested in him; I was just trying to make small talk since we were both in good moods. But I couldn't believe his sudden decision to leave. He just shut me down like that. How could he be so cold when he was the one who demanded we call a truce on our arguments and enjoy the vacation? I felt a surge of anger and hurt constrict my heart. My eyes narrowed as I mulled deeply. Could James still be in love with his ex? My mind reeled back to his facial reactions a few seconds ago when I mentioned his ex, but I soon decided to leave him alone. I didn't want to spend another minute with him anyway. Everything about his handsome face, his piercing blue eyes, or his muscular body irked me. It was good riddance on my end. I didn't want to feel his warm, irritating breath, or his gentle
JAMES.[Hours before the kiss]I couldn't believe Chloe had the nerve to ask me about my ex when we were supposed to have a non-romantic horseback ride on the beach, just as roommates for a week, and not a therapy session. I didn't want to talk about the past, I wanted to focus on the now and present...I left her on the horse and walked away feeling angry, frustrated, and annoyed all at once. I needed some space, and time to cool down. 'James, buddy, why are you so worked up, she just wanted to know the truth,’’ Zeke chimed in via mind link.I ignored him as I didn't owe him or anyone else an explanation about my love life… so what if I never love again… This was my choice and I loved it.I continued walking, not knowing where I was going, I just followed the shoreline... The mid-morning sun had painted the sky in blue and white. The waves were crashing hard against the tides, soothing my nerves. The mild breeze was blowing gently, caressing my face. I felt a little calmer a few min
CHLOE.[The next morning]“Ow, my head,” I woke up with a splitting headache, feeling like someone had smashed a hammer on my skull and kept pounding hard non-stop to torment me for the drinks I gulped down yesterday without care. I groaned while rolling over and opened my eyes, only to be greeted by the sight of a trashed living area. Wine bottles, glasses, and other things were scattered all over the place. I rubbed my tempos while I sat up...What the hell happened here last night?I squinted my eyes at the morning light that sipped into the windows that overlooked the beach and tried to remember what I did after my first drink at the bar yesterday, but my mind was a blank slate... All I had were vague flashes of drinking at the bar with a hot stranger, dancing, and laughing like today wouldn't come.Everything else was a blur I couldn't remember. My stomach churned with anxiety. What if I did something embarrassing around James?I looked around the messy room and saw no sign of h
JAMES.Get her what?!I choked up on my spit while I stared in disbelief as Chloe ran out of the crowded dining area with my jacket covering her ass because she had started her period and now I had to go get her sanitary pads in this unfamiliar territory after the crazy shit show she put out last night in her drunken state... Last night was definitely one of the worst nights I had ever shared with a woman.I sighed softly, my mind reeling back to Chloe's wild night of non-stop karaoke pop heartbreaking love songs which caused me to sleep on the balcony instead of the bedroom... Talk of an instant boner killer after being seduced... Her voice was the most annoying thing I had ever heard, I think I must have burst an eardrum during her high notes.Zeke on the other hand enjoyed his mate's voice.I sighed, hesitantly getting up after finishing my breakfast, and strolled outside the crowded resort, to scan the hotel, looking for any sign of a shop that sold what she needed.For the first
CHLOE.Reaching the suite in world record time after I ran back to go clean up. My PMS (period mood swings) were all over the place that I had to change into James's boxer briefs and t-shirt because I loved my comfortable clothing than the clingy sexy outfits the servants packed me.I hoped he wouldn't mind that I borrowed them for two days while I waited for shark week to elapse...Fast forward to the present moment after I walked out of the bathroom. I found two chocolate bars plus a packet of crisps on the bed, I was both shocked and grateful for his sweet gesture but I would never say thank you to him. I still resented him for his actions...But classic Alpha James began demanding for a Thank you for running my errands as if I owed him the words. I scoffed inwardly as I was shocked to see him demand for a simple 'Thank you' people earned for their good deeds..I took a bit into the chocolate. The rich, creamy sweetness danced on my tongue, a small solace during the tumultuous tide
JAMES.UNBELIEVABLE!!!I clenched my jaws as I stared blankly at Chloe who sat facing me looking sexy in her red lip, and red dress that clung to her every inch curve of her body at the beach during our last dinner Dad surprised us with in our vacation package…"What did you say?" I asked frowning and she smirked, leaning both her elbows on the table and resting her beautiful face in her hands."Oh James, I know you heard me the first time. You don't have to pretend. I know you have a harem of women at the pack house," she purred seductively.A low growl escaped my lips...This was supposed to be a good night since we called a second truce after the movies but I’m so damn pissed off right now. I don't know whether to blame my wolf who had taken over my body to enjoy the rest of the vacation argument-free with Chloe or Chloe who just mentioned that I had an endless line of admirers who were waiting for me to grace their beds.I scoffed, storming out of our dinner date, ignoring Chloe'
CHLOE.My things have been moved to James's room! Oh no, no ,no… This can't be happening again. My stomach knotted with endless somersaults.Sharing a room with James again after the six days at the resort was definitely not an option I wanted to be welcomed to... I wanted my own privacy just like before!My heart began racing wildly, while my legs immediately turned to jelly as I forced a smile at James's father who had just welcomed us moments ago… I didn't know whether to be happy or angry. But I sure knew that I couldn't confront William like James tried.James and I were a couple officially and tradition demanded that we as a couple sleep in the same room like at the resort. I began dreading what else will be required of us.I forced a fake smile to hide my growing anxiety.“Oh don't mind him, I'm sure he has something important to attend to that's why he has run off like that,” William said breaking the chain of thoughts running in my mind as we both watched James's shadow disapp
