"My mother has been testing my patience more than ever. I needed my own space," Asheron replies, "I bought a house in my pack, of course. We can go there, but Cain, you'd have to drive yourself. There are too many eyes on us, we can’t all leave together."Cain nods."I'll drive myself too," I add, "I don't need people talking about how I left the party with Asheron. Or with Cain. I've already told everyone I'm single, so I can't be seen leaving with either of you.""Fine," Asheron rolls his eyes, trying not to show how much he dislikes hearing that. That I'm single, "In that case, I'll leave the party first and send the location to both of you. Georgie, are you sure you're going to drive? I’m not comfortable with that.”"I meant that Oliver is going to drive me," I correct, "You know he keeps my secrets."Asheron looks relieved at the fact that I won't try to drive myself. He still hasn't forgotten that time I crashed into a pole while he was teaching me to drive. It was a soft crash,
I return to the party after spending a few minutes composing myself in my room, but instead of continuing to hunt men like it’s a sport, I decide to walk to the council table.My father is standing on one side, drinking and laughing with King Kellan and Queen Alicia. Safe territory. I reach them and hug my dad. I think he didn't notice my forty-minute disappearance, which is good. I grab a flute of champagne and join in their conversation for a while, taking their praise about my Interpack Mating Ceremony like it’s food and I’m starving. My intentions were a little selfish at the beginning, but it’s going to help a lot of people. Once everyone else around the country hears about how successful this was, they’ll choose to take part in the next heat and then do it all over again next year. And before we know it, we will have tens or hundreds of new fated couples, a lot of new families and babies all around. So, yeah, it’s kind of a big deal. “So, have you found someone new?” My dad a
"What is even the problem?" I ask, genuinely confused. And buzzed, thanks to Garret’s fun little trick."You," Cain growls like a crazy person, pointing at my face, "You're a cheater, so I don't trust you anymore.”My mouth falls open in shock."Me?!" I gasp, "Fuck you, Cain! If there’s a cheater here, it’s you. It’s both of you, not me.”"Oh my god. Keep it down," Justin groans, looking around us, "You're making a fucking scene.""You started this when you kissed Asheron against the rules, you continued it by flirting with every single man in this party, then you made it worse by what you did with Alan and now this guy," Cain continues. Up close, I can see how drunk he is. But I also notice that he’s clearly just as hurt as I’ve been this whole time. He’s still not over me kissing Asheron that last day, "Cheater."My heart breaks a little bit more, with guilt this time. Not because of the rest of his drunken rant, just for the first part. He is right, I broke the rules that day. I fu
{ Cain }Asheron walks away from Georgie and I think he's going to leave just like that, but instead, he walks until he’s by my side to whisper in my ear.“If you make another scene, you'll ruin the night and then no one gets laid," he mutters directly into my ear, his breath tickles me and almost makes me shiver Ash steps back and looks me in the eye for a second, then he grabs my jaw to hold me in place, "Do you understand? I don’t want you to fuck this up for me. For both of us.”"I get it," I reply and roll my eyes, he’s so intense. "Good. Stay with Justin for the rest of the night. And if you're thirsty, just order water," he continues, making me groan. No matter how much I complain, he just keeps treating me like I’m some useless idiot. I don't need him or Justin babysitting me. I try to pull away, but he just tightens his hold on my jaw, "Ask your brother to drive you to my house. I can take you back to Kallistar tomorrow.""Fuck no. Justin is going to ask too many questions a
Once Justin finally leaves, I crack my neck and force myself to relax and let all my anger go. Georgie is still a cheater in my eyes, but I guess I can ignore it for today. This is the last night I’ll ever get as her mate. I have to make the most of it."So… I saw you before that guy approached, you were downing shots like a pro," I murmur to Georgie, she raises her eyebrows and nods, "We both have a designated driver, why don't we just keep drinking?”“Asheron told you to stop,” she says like his word is the law or something, making me scoff a laugh.“So? He’s not the boss of me,” I say, giving her the same look I would give her back when we were kids and she didn’t want to do something because she was scared of disobeying her daddy, “Is he your boss, G?”“No,” she rolls her eyes.“Are you sure? You look scared of him,” I push, trying to hide my smirk. She narrows her eyes at me, “I smell chicken.”“Shut up already,” she says and pushes me, but she’s smiling, “I’m no chicken and he
{ Asheron }It's been almost one hour since I arrived home and they’re not here yet. I'm sitting on my couch, calling them over and over, but they’re not answering and I'm starting to get seriously irritated. I'm even considering driving back to Colucci to pick them up myself, but I keep my ass seated because it's only fifteen minutes past midnight. Georgie probably has to stay at her own party a little longer. People were having a good time and it’s a special night where quite a few people found their fated mate; I don't think they'll leave anytime soon, especially since Georgie didn't specify an end time.So, I try to relax.I take off my jacket and undo three buttons of my shirt, but my body is still tense. What if she changed her mind? What if she doesn't want to come here anymore? What if Cain threw another jealous fit and fucked everything up?I run my hands over my pants, reminding myself that I shouldn't go back there. Not if I don't want to look like a desperate, pathetic
As soon as I enter my room, I take off my shoes and start undressing, still bitter. I didn't think the night would go this way, but I'm not comfortable having sex with Georgie while she’s so drunk. Just a few hours ago she hated me, she kept calling me a cheater and being snappy. The happy-tipsy state she's in right now doesn't reflect the real Georgie. I'm sure she'll wake up tomorrow hating anything we decide to do today, so I'm not going to be part of it.I strip down to my boxers and get in my bed to sleep all by myself like a fucking loser while Cain and Georgie are having all the fun by themselves. A few minutes later, as I'm starting to finally fall asleep, I hear my door open slowly. My body goes on high alert for just a second before I remember there are two people in my house… but they shouldn’t be here. "There's no way you're asleep already," Cain complains as he enters my room and he turns on the light, "Wake up!""Shh! Maybe he's really tired," Georgie whispers and tu
Georgie’s not only hot, she’s not only perfect in every single way, she’s not only beloved by everyone, she’s not only smart as hell and funny and sweet... she's also a horny little thing in bed. Georgie is the whole package."Okay, then," I say, and I turn us around until her back hits my mattress. I've wanted her here since I bought this fucking house. I move aside to make space for Cain, "Open your legs, he wants to eat you out."Georgie swallows and looks at him as he’s crawling back a little bit, caressing her legs slowly as he goes and giving her a heated look. He stops at her feet.Then he lifts her left foot and he kisses her instep almost reverently before his tongue comes out to lick her toes. Georgie's back arches and she lets out a high-pitched weirded out moan."What the fuck?" she asks, trying to snatch her foot back and away from him, but Cain grabs it even harder, "Cain! That's... that feels like... it's so weird.""Shut up, this is my one and only time fucking you.
