I walk out of the kitchen to begin my role as a waiter and for the rest of the night, I can't stop looking at Rio. Sure, Mitch is right, he's a little grumpy with the customers, he hates being asked for things even though that's literally his job and he rolls his eyes more than he should, but that doesn't take away from the fact that he looks innocent and incapable of doing anything wrong, ever. I still think he's just a spoiled, sheltered kid. How the fuck could he have killed an omega if he was so gentle with Leah? He hardly even wanted to touch her. I was the one who pushed him to do it. At no point in the interaction did he show any signs of being a freak. And yes, maybe his wolf could be the one with the murder problem, but I just don't think so. I decide to let that whole thing go and I just focus on waitering. I think Alana will be happy once she comes back and sees that her restaurant is back in full effect, a people’s favorite. And I’ll be happy to get some free time agai
{ Alejandro }I don't know what's going on with me or what is it that I'm feeling, but the second I walk into my room I start crying. Crying for real, sobs and all. I can’t barely breathe. I'm so fucking confused because my feelings are hurt but I don't even really understand why. It wasn't even that big of a deal. Logically I know that and I'm not angry, but emotionally I'm hurt.'He's disrespecting me. I don't like that,' I hear a small whisper in my mind. What the fuck is my wolf doing awake?! I took two pills... although, that was last night.I wipe my tears away and put a hand on my chest forcing my emotions to calm down. And I also try to make my wolf feel better.'Zee is just a silly, playful guy, he's always playing like that with everyone. It's not disrespectful.''It is to me. Don't ever let him treat you that way,' he insists, pushing another burst of emotions that make me sob once again. I don't understand why he feels so humiliated, he's overreacting."You need to stop,"
"Hey... I'm actually Rio, dude," I try to lie as a last resort, but if there's one person who knows me inside and out, up close and personal, it's Jason. His eyes narrow immediately, not believing me. I shoot a quick glance at the two guys next to me, but they’re still not paying any attention to us, "What are you doing here?""I asked that first. And this is not the time to catch up," he blurts out and moves with sharp movements to grab a clean towel. My hair is still full of shampoo, so I lift my hands to wash it off as quickly as possible while Jason watches the two guys like a hawk as if they’re a threat to me or something, waiting for me to finish with the towel outstretched.As soon as I turn off the faucet, he tries to reach over to wrap me in the towel like I'm a damn kid, but I push him away before he can. "Let me get dressed and then we can talk," I say. Jason nods, but he still acts like my fucking bodyguard while I get dressed, so I get annoyed. Why is everyone so fucking
{ Zion }I walk to the gym completely exhausted both physically and mentally. In no way I want to keep moving after the physical toll I just took from Lucinda Taffy and her Fallonmore gangsters, but I want to check on Rio and make sure he followed my routine. The gym is more crowded than usual today, but after a quick look I realize that none of these people are Rio. I grab my phone and call him several times, but he doesn't pick up. I walk to the locker room and showers, but he's not in here either.Did he just leave me stranded here without even telling me? That’s rude. "Rio!" I yell, just in case he's around and I haven't seen him, but I only get confused looks from other people. Fuck, I think he totally left me here and I'll have to walk home when I just want to fucking rest. I’ll g..."Jay, someone’s looking for me," I hear faintly and I stop walking to pay more attention. That's definitely Rio's voice. It sounds far away or like he's purposely trying to be secretive, but I s
{ Alejandro }"Are you okay, Rio?" Zach asks me as I enter the restaurant, snapping me out of my tumultuous thoughts. There aren't any customers at the moment, thankfully."Oh, yeah," I reply, walking towards the stairs, "I'm going to change into my uniform, I'll be right back."Zach nods so I just go upstairs, just now realizing I left my damn backpack in the locker with my cell phone in there. I shake my head and run to my room to put on my uniform, but once I'm dressed I have to take a second to just sit in my bed, take a deep breath and think about how I probably fucked everything up by letting Jason touch me again. Someone besides Zee could have seen us and started rumors that would ruin my reputation. Letting him touch me was a damn bad idea. Besides, I forgot that I hate him for breaking up with me and then wanting to get me back only when it was convenient for him. But... that's not even what's making the most noise in my head, not even close. Not even how Zee pressured me
I wake up with a fever or something like that. My clothes are soaked with sweat and my body feels hot and still aroused from last night's dream, my wolf is extremely horny. Before it gets any worse, I take the pill I slipped into my pocket and I pass it down without water or anything.I stay in bed for a few more minutes waiting for it to take effect and when I feel my wolf disappear, I get up to take a shower and steal some of Laurie's clothes before I leave. King is nowhere to be seen, which is nice. I drive to the academy and, fortunately, it's open today, so I walk inside to get my stuff and then head back home. To Zee's apartment, I mean. When I get out of the car, I get a little dizzy so I stop, giving myself a second to get back to normal, but I can't. I feel numb, sluggish and weak. Now I understand the difference between the inhibitors Gregory charges me an arm and a leg for and the ones they sell in the pharmacies. I literally feel like a part of my brain is shut down and
{ Zion }Fuck, I think it's back. That heavenly scent is back. A little bit. It's very faint, but I think I can smell it and it's driving me crazy.Or maybe it's because I'm so drunk? God, I don't know, but I'm scenting the fuck out of Leah in like I'm going to die if I don't and my hands are moving all over her body... and consequently, Rio's body behind her.I don't know what's going on with me or why I want the things I want, but right now I'm not interested in looking for answers, I just want to feel. So, I dare to touch Rio as well.I can feel him tense up as my hands start to touch him but I don't let that stop me. I wrap my hands around his waist and move my hands all over him, up and down his arms and his back, crushing Leah between us in the process. I think I can smell more of that scent now and I really feel myself losing my mind more and more. "Can I kiss her, Rio?" I ask, my mouth moving closer to Leah's, my hands finding the inside of his shirt and touching the silky
Now that the inhibitors are wearing off and I'm getting a bit of my normalcy back, I can see better in the dark, which is nice because that means I get to look at Zee almost perfectly despite the darkness, but it's also wrecking my nerves because that means I don't have much time. If my wolf fully wakes up while I'm with this hot ass alpha... who knows? Maybe he'll end up begging Zee to take his hand in marriage and he’ll get me into even more trouble than I'm getting myself into already by being so horny. Zee’s wolf is just looking at me and not really moving, so I rip off my own shirt and then my pants and boxers at the same time so I don't waste a second while he just watches me. I kinda don’t mind his heavy eyes on me.Doing this is fucking with my head. It's taking me back to the past. When I was with Jason and all I used to do was pray and wish to be an omega so I could be with him. So I could have the silly little fantasy life I made up in my stupid head. But that was befor
