JACOB'S POV

Haria could hardly stop laughing out loud as she ran away from me.

"Come back here, Alpha Haria! Look what you did to me," I said loudly. Then, I took off my T-shirt and I decided to play along with her.

"Chase me," she's challenging me as she continued running away from me. "If you can."

"Are you challenging me?" I answered as I started chasing her. "I can chase you no matter how far you are from me."

She sped up running when she saw me chasing her. But I also ran faster. I really want to catch her so I can get revenge for what she did to me.

After a while, I caught up with her but she still got away from me. But I was able to grab her shirt, so in the end, I still caught her. And this time, I already locked her in my arms to make sure she wouldn't be able to escape anymore.

"What were you talking about earlier, huh?" I carried her into waist-deep water. "You challenged me earlier, didn't you? This is my revenge now."

"No! No! No! Don't do it, Jacob!" She was trying to stop me from what I was going to do to her. But I ignored her and still threw her into the water without saying a word. I didn't even think about what would happen next. If she will get mad at me again and this strange feeling that just started will end immediately.

She immediately stood up but she was already wet. And after looking at herself, she turned to me and gave me a sharp stare.

"Look at what you did to me. I'm soaked now. How am I going to get home?" she said with a hint of annoyance in her voice. "I only splashed water on your face earlier. But you get my whole body wet."

"Don't worry. There's a lot of clothes inside that you can use anytime," I answered in a calm voice. I'm not too worried now about how she might answer or react as I could see her inner personality now. I'm slowly seeing her soft side. Her beauty, not only on the outside but also on the inside.

I also believe that she is really cheerful and friendly. Maybe she was just under pressure or dealing with some problems, that in the past few days, she was always frowning and seemed to be mad at the world.

I suddenly came back to my senses when I heard her voice and saw that she was right in front of me.

"So, that's it. That's why you have the guts to get my whole body wet."

After saying that, she immediately grabbed my head and suddenly submerged me in the water.

"Now, we're even," she said after I stood up with my whole body wet.

I noticed how she glanced at my muscular body, my big arm muscles, and my hairy chest. Until it's like her eyes are stuck on my chest as the water that comes from my wet hair flows through it.

"I'm not done yet," I said with a touch of seduction in my voice as I started to step closer to her.

I hadn't even gotten close to her but she already ran away from me, as if she already knew what I was going to do to her.

I immediately chased her. And I didn't stop, as if we were playing on the beach like kids, or should I say, like lovers whose love was just beginning to blossom.

A few moments later, I caught her again after she sat down on the sand, as if she already felt tired.

She still stood up and tried to get away from me but I didn't let her go. Until she fell on the sand and unexpectedly, I also fell and landed right on top of her.

I also did not expect our lips to touch each other and we were both surprised by that event. And then it was as if our lips were magnetized and we stayed in that position for a few seconds. Until I decided to take that kiss to the next level and tasted her sweet lips. And I felt her immediate response to that kiss.

After a while, I raised my lips and Haria slowly opened her eyes.

"W-What is the meaning of this?" Haria asked in a low voice while staring at me. I could see in her eyes that she was full of questions and she was bothered by that unexpected event.

I didn't give an answer as I was also confused and I hardly know why I did that. I quickly got up instead and turned away from her as I suddenly felt awkward.

"L-Let's go. Let's get dressed. I-I'm getting cold," she said in a low voice.

There was no trace of anger or annoyance in her voice. So I was even more confused, thinking that maybe, she also liked the unexpected moment that happened earlier.

"C-Come on, I'll take you to the room that's always reserved for me," I answered, without looking at her because of the awkwardness that gradually enveloped both of us.

After saying that, I started walking towards the small hotel there. Haria immediately followed me who also remained silent.

I entered a small but beautiful and cozy room and Haria also followed me inside. I immediately went to the cabinet full of clothes and pants.

"Just pick which one you want to wear," I said, still feeling a bit shy as I showed my clothes and pants hanging inside the cabinet. "I think all of those will fit you. They're just small as I like fitted clothes. You can also rest here first because this room is always reserved for me."

Haria just nodded in response. Then, I started walking out of the room. I was already at the door when I heard her voice.

"Hhhmmm..." Haria could hardly continue what she was going to say, maybe because of the awkwardness that she was feeling. "E-Excuse me."

"Yes." I immediately looked at her. "D-Do you need anything else?"

"I-Is there a shower here? I-I need to take a shower first."

"Oh, yes." After saying that, I quickly went to the bathroom and opened the door to show her the shower. "This room has its own shower."

"T-Thank you," she replied after nodding at me.

"If you need anything else, just call me. I'll just go to my friend's room."

After saying that, I walked towards the door again. I was about to leave the room when I looked at her again. Our eyes met as she was also looking at me. But she immediately looked away and went to the cabinet to choose a shirt and pants to wear.

I finally left the room and closed the door. I leaned there and let out a deep breath as I'm still confused about the strange feelings coming from the bottom of my heart.

I came back to my senses because of a light tap on my shoulder that came from someone. I immediately turned to my left side and saw my friend who is the owner of the resort.

"It's just you, Rodel," I said as I was slightly surprised by his sudden approach to me.

"Tell me the truth, Jacob. Is there something going on between you and that Blue Blood Pack princess that I don't know? What is the status of your relationship?" Rodel asked seriously.

I just shook my head as I almost didn't know what to answer him.

"What?" Rodel continued.

"I-I don't know, Rodel. I'm confused," I answered while shaking my head.

"What? That's hard, bro," Rodel reacted. "She's an alpha and people like us have no place in their world," he continued with worries in his voice.

"I know, I know. That's why I have to stop this feeling right now."

"So, you've been hit by the female alpha's cupid?" Rodel answered as a reaction to what I said.

I didn't answer and just let out a deep breath.

"Come here and let's talk about it seriously," Rodel said and then started walking towards the other room.

I immediately followed him and went inside. I knew what Rodel meant when he said that we would talk seriously, and that is, we would talk while drinking.

Rodel immediately prepared for our drinking session and brought out a bottle of vodka for us to drink.

While we were drinking, Rodel was constantly curious about my true feelings towards Alpha Haria. I didn't answer anything clearly and I kept avoiding that topic instead. From time to time, I'm changing the topic but Rodel keeps on bringing it back.

We're about to finish a bottle of vodka but I'm still not giving him a clear answer. Until he suddenly stood up and spoke.

"This drinking session won't end until you give me a clear answer, Jacob. So you just stay here and I'll get another bottle of vodka," Rodel said as he stood up and faced me.

"No! No! No, Rodel. It's enough. We still need to go home. Her brother might be looking for her now," I immediately answered as I stood up to stop him.

"So give me a clear answer now to end this conversation."

"I can't really give you an answer because I'm also confused about what I really feel," I answered while scratching my head.

"Then, let's continue drinking. Just go home later after you give me a clear answer."

After saying that, Rodel turned around and left the room.

I couldn't do anything else as Rodel really didn't let me stop him. I just shook my head as I watched him leave the room.

Then, I poured half into a shot glass and drank it. While waiting for Rodel to return, the moments that happened earlier came back to my mind. And I can't help but smile as I got back to the moment when Haria and I touched each other's lips.

I was slightly surprised when I heard the voice of the woman who had been running through my mind and the reason why the smile on my face could not disappear.

"Hi, Jacob. Can I come in?"

After I heard Haria's soft and angelic voice, I immediately turned to her. I was even more surprised when I saw that she had a bottle of champagne with her.

"I-I saw this champagne inside your room. It's still early to go home so I thought why don't we have a drink first before going back to camp," she said as she got inside the room and approached the table in front of me. "But it looks like you are already drinking with your friend."

"It's okay. You can join us if you want," I immediately answered as I stood up and gave her a plastic chair. "Rodel is just getting a drink. The vodka we're drinking was about to run out."

"Yeah, I met him outside," she replied with a smile on her face. "He told me where you are. So I decided to bring this champagne here."

"Do you drink vodka?"

Haria just nodded in response to my question. Then, she sat down in the plastic chair that I gave her.

"Let's drink this first before we open the champagne."

"It might get me drunk," she said but still took the shot glass and poured vodka into it. She didn't let it linger in the glass and drank it right away.

I just smiled at what she said and did.

We continued drinking vodka while waiting for Rodel. And as we go on, it seems that our awkwardness toward each other is gradually disappearing. Haria's talkativeness is coming out and so am I. Until we started laughing and sharing our pasts with each other.

Until we run out of vodka. But Rodel still hasn't come back so we decided to open the champagne that she brought.

"I'm sure this will make me drunk. I'm not used to drinking different labels," she said after I opened the champagne.

"We can stop drinking this champagne and rest before going back to the camp if you want," I answered.

"No! It was my first time getting out of the camp without anyone following me since they brought me there. Let's go all out. Let's continue drinking until we get drunk and give my brother a headache when we get back to the camp," Haria replied, who seems to still have a grudge against her brother.

"Although what you're saying is a little scary, I still like that thought. So let's continue drinking," I said, agreeing with what she said as I raised the shot glass and drank its contents.

We continued drinking and forgot about Rodel who still hasn't returned. Until our awkwardness with each other is completely gone.

We are sitting next to each other already and our laughter is already loud as we share our funny moments with each other. Until Haria's face suddenly became serious and stared at me as if she wanted to say something.

I faced her seriously and waited for what she would say. We stared at each other as our eyes met and then Haria began to speak.

"What did those kisses earlier mean to you?" Haria asked seriously as she was still staring at me.
