Chapter 6

Mariah POV

Heading out of the house, the first thing I noticed was that Nick switched cars. I must admit he has good taste for cars. He is now driving a White GMC. We reach the car, and when I get in, my best friend Rose sits on her phone. She is wearing a royal blue casual dress with some silver sandals. Her hair is in a high ponytail, and I can tell she is wearing some blue eye shadow, which she does only for special occasions. She is more of a nude-colored type of girl. We head to the party, and as we get close, we see a lot of cars in the driveway. We are now at the Silver Mountain pack, and the scenery is quite beautiful. Nick parks in one of the reserved parking for alphas, and we all get out of the car.

“You guys made it,” Logan says. 

“You know we never miss a good party,” Josh replies.

“Well, just head inside. Everyone is out in the back by the pool,” Logan says.

“Alright, cool,” Nick replies.

We head to the backyard, and what I see shocks me. The place is beautiful, from the lights to the pool. The whole place is breathtaking.

“You guys want something to drink?” Josh asks.

“Tequila,” We all say at the same time.

“You’re getting in the pool later?” Rose asks me.

“You know it, I brought my bikini,” I reply.

“I did too, and I can’t wait to put it on so Amma head to the bathroom,” Rose giggles.

“Go ahead, I’ll wait here. I need to have a few drinks in my system before I jump in,” I reply.

“Okay, I’ll be right back,” Rose says.

Now it’s just Nick standing here. I turn my back to him and start looking around. This house is gorgeous. I see a few kids from school, and they wave at me, so I wave back. Suddenly, I feel a presence behind me a little too close, and by the sent, I can tell it is Nick.

“You look breathtaking today.” He whispers huskily in my ear.

I hitch my breath to not let out a moan. I hate how my body reacts to him.

“Thank You,” I say with a shaky breath.

“I hate how u have all these men’s eyes on you; it makes me want to rip their eyes out.” He replies with a growl.

“What do you mean? Nobody is looking at me. Plus, you don’t own me, Nick.” I reply, annoyed.

I elbow him so he can get away from me and start walking away in search of my best friend.

The asshole who he thinks he is. His girlfriend Mila needs to hurry up and get here to get him off my back. I start heading upstairs, looking for Rose, when I hear giggling. Now, who has my best friend laughing like that, I wonder. When I finally get closer, I see her leaning against the wall in her royal blue bikini, looking beautiful. But who is that guy who has her blushing and giggling?

“There you are. I have been looking for you. I got worried that you got lost or something.” I say with a smirk.

“Ha ha, very funny. No, I was just here talking to Alpha Taylor.” Rose says.

“Hey, nice to meet you.” He says and extends his hand for a handshake.

 “Mariah,” I say and reach out to shake his hand.

“Well, I’m going to leave you two talking. I’m going to go put on my bathing suit. I say with a light smirk.

“Okay, I’ll see you in the pool. We are going to go and get in,” Rose replies.

“Okay, have fun,” I say and walk into the bathroom.

I take my clothes off, put them in a bag, and put my bikini on. “Damn, I look good,” I say to myself, looking in the mirror. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. “Just a minute, almost done.” And another bang on the door. What the hell didn’t I just tell them in a minute. I walk to the door, ready to curse someone out, but when I open the door, I’m shocked to see who is on the other side.

“What the hell are you doing here, Nick,” I ask, totally annoyed that he is here. He is looking at me like a predator looks at his prey, his eye changing color from blue to gold, showing his wolf fighting for control. His eyes return to normal, meaning he sent his wolf to the back of his mind. “What do you want Nick?” I ask and cross my hands. He turns around and locks the door. What the hell? I think to myself. What is he doing?

“Why are you closing the door?” I ask, feeling nervous. He starts walking towards me, and I start backing up. The look he is giving me makes my stomach flutter. He puts his hands on the wall and cages me in. He leans in. “Who said you can wear a bikini as tempting as this, Riah?” he whispers in my ear huskily. I look at him in shock. What did he just say? Who the hell does he think he is? I try to push him off me, but the bastard grabs my hands and pin them over my head. “Now, Riah, that’s not how you treat your Alpha.” He says with a smirk.

“No, you are right. That is not how I treat my Alpha, but it is how I treat the asshole manhandling me.” I snap. He gets close, pinning me to the wall. I bite my lip when I feel his dick pressing against me. His free hand runs slowly down my neck, going down between my breasts. “You know, Riah, you like seeing me mad.” He whispers, looking at my lips. 

“You get mad because you want to. I’m not doing anything to you, Nick.” I roll my eyes and say. 

“But you are. I hate the way these horny wolves look at you.” He says and growls. 

 

“They’re only looking; it’s not like they are touching. What am I saying? I don’t have to explain myself to you.” I reply.

He suddenly lets go of my hands and grips my chin. “Nobody is allowed to touch you but me. Do you understand?” He says coldly. I swallow hard. Something about his possessiveness turns me on, and I hate it. He slams his lips against me, and I suppress a moan. He pulls away and starts kissing down my neck. “Tell me your mine.” He says and nibbles my ear. “Nick, this has to stop. You have Mila, and my brother is your best friend.” I reply and push him off me. I grab my things and leave the bathroom.
