MESSIAH JORDY'S POV"Zoey?" She ran up to me and pulled me into a suffocating hug, rocking our bodies like we were 5."Jordy, My God. I missed you so much," "Yeah, same here," I choked out, untangling her arms from my neck."Why?" "You're suffocating me," I told her politely. Zoey was an overly-sensitive creature who got an unreasonable crush on me.I tried to be gentle with her, not to hurt her any further than my secret would. It'd be a nightmare when she finds out that I'm a female and her feelings were inappropriate. I dread that awful day.Zoey might be a sweetheart, but she was very irrational. I didn't want to imagine what her reaction would be. Just the thought of it broke my heart. "Let me help you with that.""Sure," I turned to one of the sentinels. "Where are my parents?""They're in a meeting, Your highness.""Oh," I guess I'll just have to see them later.Zoey and I headed inside and straight to my room. We waited till the Omegas brought in all my suitcases before we

THIRD PERSON'S POVZoey slid into one of the booths of the coffee shop, sitting in front of the man with a hoodie. The coffee shop was empty. She'd rented it out for an hour, so she could have this meeting in peace. "Sorry, I'm late. I had to go see a friend." Zoey said in a mad rush, placing her bag on the table.The man took off his hoodie and flashed her a set of crooked teeth. "It's no problem, beauty. I can wait for you forever.""Ewww…" Zoey made an almost inaudible disgust sound, coupled with the disgusted look she flashed at him. The man was a renowned thug of the pack and a chain smoker. She'd picked him for her dirty business but that's just about it. It was downright disgusting to be flirted with by someone like him. He was just good for dirty business, not for sex."So what's this job you got for me, pretty?" "The name is Zoey," she frowned at his disgusting attempt to flirt with her. "And you just have to keep an eye on some people for me."She handed him a swollen env

THIRD PERSON'S POVJamal's flustered face was quite a sight. His mouth was left hanging for the next seconds that followed his irrational, drunk confession. It was the alcohol. Fuck, it was the shitty alcohol. He would never have blurted it out if he wasn't so damned wasted."Dude." Zach nudged him. "Tell me. When did you fall in love and with whom?" Saying he was 'shocked' was an understatement. He hadn't seen it coming at all. Sure, he suspected something deep was hurting Jamal. But he never thought it had to do with matters of the heart.Jamal never gave off a vibe that he was going to fall in love soon. He's never been the least interested in romantic stuff. He's been accused on many occasions of being cold and aloof. So this was new. So fucking new."Forget I said that," Jamal muttered, slumping on the couch with a sharp exhale. What had he done?"No way, dude. I'll never forget it. I heard you, loud and clear. You fell in love, my goodness. I can't even imagine it." Zach chuckl

KING ARLO'S POV "Shut the fuck up!" I yelled again, hitting the brakes and coming to a screeching halt. The force sent him flying off the seat and hitting hard on the floor. He let out another painful grunt, but it was soon replaced by one of his drunk laughs. "Why? Does the truth hurt?" He slurred, groaning at the end of his words. "You stole Jordy from me. Doesn't that make you a thief?" "Just one more word." I took a deep, deep breath. "Say one more stupid word and I'll damn the consequence and hurl you into the street. I don't give a shit if you die or live." I just realized how huge a mistake it was to offer to take his drunk ass home. Ever since we drove off, he had been saying a lot of nonsense, and as much as I tried to lock him out of my head, he still gained access. He was talking about Jordy and how they were the pack's couple before I showed up and ruined everything. It was almost impossible for talks like that not to mess with my head. And the damned lunatic won't st

MESSIAH JORDY'S POV"I'm sorry," Zach added, after a bit of awkward silence. "I mean, it sounds ridiculous. But I got this hunch, and I can't shake it off. So yeah, tell me. Did he fall in love with you or am I just being an idiot?" He said amidst a chuckle, sitting with his legs crossed.Sweat broke through my forehead, cascading to my neck and down inside my shirt. The room was chilly. I had no reason to be sweating that much. Suddenly, I began feeling too suffocated, wanting nothing more but to rip the door open and run off. But I couldn't. I felt glued to the spot I was sitting."Jordy?" He called with an arched brow. "Are you alright?""Y–yeah. I'm good." I muttered quickly, nodding vehemently. "Why would you think Jamal fell in love with me? That's ridiculous." I forced a smile, trying not to act so damned affected."Well, for starters, he went on and on about how someone shattered his heart. I thought it was the alcohol when he kept referring to his assailant as a male. But the
