Emily. I rolled my eyes. I ought to expect such from her. Now that Brian was Alpha, she wanted to leave Roger. I scoffed, exiting the room. She was so shameless.Exiting the Fook, I left to return to Brian. When I got in, he was sitting on the arm of his couch, on a call. "Yes, I'll be there. Yeah, right now." He said then ended the call. "What's that?" I asked, my brows curling upwards, sad that he was leaving. "Alpha duties.' He sighed, rising up to hold my shoulders. "Don’t worry. Once we go on our vacation, it'll be strictly us, no work, no school, no nothing." With thar, he pecked my forehead . I sighed too. "Alright." "Okay," he stared then smiled. "I love you." That immediately sent butterflies to not only my stomach, but my heart. "I love you too." Then my thoughts went back to Emily. If she had managed to steal Roger from me, what if she did the same with Brian? My heart started throbbing faster at that. Brian's forehead furrowed. "What's wrong? Are you okay?" "It's
Brian shoved the last bit of clothing into his closet of the PRESIDENTIAL SUITE of the hotel we were staying in. Yeah, I had expected a small house by a beach again, but no, he chose a ginormous, five-star hotel for our vacation. That was a great deal, but slipping back to the major problem at hand: Blade. His text had been bothering me ever since. He was clearly more dangerous than I had thought. As I thought about him, my chest was starting to feel tight again. I wanted to pour out my feelings to someone, someone I could rely on, but neither Raina nor my Mom, nor my brother could understand my situation. Only Brian could, but telling him about Blade meant telling him about the debt collectors, and I wasn't going to do such a thing. "Lyric," I flinched at the sound of Brian's voice. With squinted eyes, he stopped in front of me. "What's wrong with you? You've been so lost all day.""N-nothing."He playfully glared at me. "Nothing? Really?" "Yesh, it's just…I need to rest." "That
~ BRIAN ~ Lyric was sleeping so peacefully on the bed. I leaned down to plant a kiss on her forehead. Once again, the sight of her face first thing in the morning was enough to make my day automatically great. She rolled around, her face in front of mine. I stroke her jet black hair away from her face. Her long lashes fluttered, and before I could escape, her pair of jade green eyes were staring into my soul. Her forehead scrunched up as she yawned, stretching. "Good morning," she said sleepily. "Good morning, kitty." I rose up and kissed her again. How could she look so stunning after just waking up? She stretched again. My mind reflected on our conversation about her childhood and all I wanted to do was embrace her over and over again, let her know I was here for her. "I'll go take a shower." She yawned as she rose up the bed. All I wanted to do was remind her daily of her worth and be there for her as much as I could. She walked past me and headed to the bathroom. Walking
~ LYRIC ~ Brian had gone to heaven knows where, and I was getting bored of staying alone. My thoughts were constantly slipping back to Mom's words, and no matter how hard I tried to shrug it off, it still stung. Sighing, I rose to my feet, slipped on a pair of sweatpants and a sweater and headed out, maybe to go on a run or something.Arriving at the lobby, I stopped to buy a bottle of water when someone suddenly stood very closely behind me. "Why the heck is this person so close to me?" A frown formed on my face as I scrunched my nose, watching the curls of the vending machine take forever to twist and push the bottle out of place. Once it fell, I took the bottle and turned, bumping into a hard figure. "Ouch." I rubbed my nose, lifting my head to catch the gaze of Roger, and that automatically worsened my facial contortion. "Wow, someone must really not like me." He said jokingly. "Like you? I despise you with every fiber of my being." I spat. "Why? Because I showed you how
"What the heck is that supposed to mean?" I frowned. "You'll find out. I promise, you will." Roger smirked and walked away, a chuckle erupting from him. I tried to reflect on it. What that could mean, but my brain was jumping to too many unhealthy options. "Shut up, Lyric. Roger is an idiot. Don't listen to him." I said, took a deep breath then resumed running, making sure my thoughts were far from Roger, Emily, and their stupid words. *** I was rummaging through the closet when I saw some of the sexy outfits the maid had helped me buy from the store. They were a bunch of see-throughs, net dresses, and many more very sexy outfits. Realizing I hadn't worn them since we arrived, a naughty thought flew into my head and as I bit my lower lip, I thought hard. To be honest, I was enjoying my relationship with Brian without anything extreme going on. The cuddles, embrace were enough for me for now, but Brian was a man, a man with some strong hormones. Running my hand over my face, a h
~ LYRIC ~"HAPPY NEW YEAR!" Brian announced to the entire pack and loud cheers filled the crowd, people immediately making fireworks and screaming, music filling up the air. He turned off the mic and turned to me, wrapping an arm around my waist. "Happy New Year, kitty." "Happy New Year, my love." I smiled and he leaned down to plant a kiss on my lips in front of everyone, not breaking it. My gaze traveled to Kelly, Jordan, and his Mom behind us, and both of them, except his witch of a mother, were smiling. Shutting my eyes, I dwelled in the moment and savored the taste of his lips, standing on my tiptoes to enjoy the sparks his kiss flooded me with. "Get a room, y'all." Jordan joked, causing me to break from the kiss. A frown formed on Brian's face and he shot a death glare at Jordan who just laughed. I glanced over at the pack members beneath us who were still dancing to the music, chugging drinks, and throwing fireworks. Brian sat on his chair on the veranda, watching his
I stopped to stare at myself in the mirror, shaking my head. "I can't believe school starts in two days." I muttered, a heaviness resting on me. "Me neither." Brian said from the bed. If you guessed well, school starting again in two days meant that I had passed the deadline of the debt collectors. My email had been bombarded over and over again by their alarming warnings, but I had deleted all of them and even blocked the email addresses. Shaking my head, I decided I didn't want to think about it. Whatever will happen will happen. I turned around, glancing at the multiple open luggage at Brian's feet. "You still haven't packed yet. You know we're leaving this evening." "And it's still morning." He said, laying on the bed and scrolling away on his phone. What the hell was that supposed to mean? I stormed over to him and tried to reach for his phone, but his hypersensitivity made him stretch his hand out, making the phone far from my reach. "Give me that! You've been on that th
I ran out of the bathroom and headed to Brian, running as fast as my feet could go, and almost bumping into other customers. “Brian!” I exclaimed when I saw him and ran up to him. “Calm down, Kitty. What’s wrong?” He held my shoulders. I had to let out a few pants. “The texts, the threatening ones that I had said were from Emily, they aren't from her!”“What? Who is it, then?”“I don’t know!” I exclaimed, my forehead crumpling up. “How did you find out it's not Emily?” How could his vice still sound so regular and calm?“I met Emily after receiving another text, and she admitted that she wasn’t the one.”“Can we trust her?”“She sounded genuine. She didn’t even know about our situation.” My hands were starting to shake, so he held them. “Okay, please calm down. We’ll figure out whoever it is.” “What if we don’t?” “We will, I promise.” He stroked my hair. “Please calm down, okay?” As much as his voice was awfully and annoyingly calm, it made my shoulders relax. “Let’s pay for th
