"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
The conversation eventually moves away from Rio and his neck, but keeps staring down awkwardly. "Can we talk in private?” Leah asks Rio in a low voice and grabs his hand to pull him before he even responds. I keep my eyes on them until they disappear down the hallway to the bedrooms. About half an hour later, Rio and Leah return. Leah is holding Rio's hand really tightly and they walk until they get to me and Jess. Leah gives me a long look and a slow knowing smile, as if she knows something I don't. She's someone else to add to the list of people who know something I don't, I guess."Jess, it's really late. Shall we go?""Oh? but," Jess looks at me, "Can't I stay over tonight?"I'm totally not in the mood to keep entertaining Jess and her inscessant need to be all over me every second one way or another."Sorry, my love, but I have to wake up really early tomorrow and deal with some restaurant shit," I lie with a tired sigh and a grimace to give my lie more realism. Jess frowns, b
I literally have nothing to do and no one to hang out with. I guess I could call someone from my class but I don't think we're there yet. Today I just wanted to... be myself for a little while, I guess. Without having to worry about acting a certain way. I sigh and decide to have a day with myself. I stop at a coffee shop and sit at a table with my breakfast, trying not to agonize over the fact that now someone else knows about my secret: Leah.My plan to make her my girlfriend is completely screwed up now, but at least she's not a horrible person who's going to expose my lies. Leah knew immediately that she didn't give me those hickeys and she also knew that the only person who could have given them to me was Zee. So, she took me to my room and demanded that I tell her everything.I tried to lie, but she wouldn't let me and so I ended up telling her everything. Fortunately, she didn't take it the wrong way or yelled at me or got mad at me, she just told me that she was genuinely s
