NALANI I decided to stay here at his place. It's just one night and I promise myself it won't happen again. We are not a couple to sleep in the same bed. But honestly, in our current situation, that seems to be the case. I took a shower and wore his clothes—I just had no choice.Walking out from the bathroom, I found him, sitting on the bed with a laptop in his lap. Despite being a sad boy, he also has time for gadgets? This is new.I heaved a sign and approached the almost empty vanity against the wall of between this room and the bathroom. There was an only blower on top and that's what I used to dry my hair. When I turned it on, I seemed to get his attention and I felt him pivoted to just observe me. My eyes flickered in the mirror to catch a glimpse of him, looking at me. As expected, admiration was in his eyes. Sometimes I also thought it would be nice to be a werewolf, I want to feel the feeling of having a wolf. From what I see of him, every time he shifts, he doesn't seem to
NALANIMy daily routine is still the same. Cook a breakfast meal at eight in the morning and attend the flowershop after. But Sienna is waiting outside of the shop and its crystal door is closed. Besides that, she is wearing summer dress and actually has a backpack. My brows knitted and gave her a questioning look and also asked, "What's going on?"She grinned and spun around as if she's enjoying her attire. "Well, we're off duty today, I mean... we're going to attend the birthday party, but it's going to be held on the beach!" She almost jumped for joy, but she noticed me, still wearing my usual style of clothing as her eyes scanned all over me. "Actually, you need to change a new style and I actually brought one for you." She wiggled her brows, while mine is quirking, when she came to me and held my arm as if I was her escort. She added, "I think, you need to relax first from whatever question is reeling in your head about your so-called Alpha mate. Just give yourself time, okay? So
NALANI It was Travis' voice, calling my name. My toes curled tightly as I slowly faced the mirror. Looking at myself, I was picturing out his reaction in my head. Will he grin saying the word wow to me or maybe he will suddenly hug me? Well, knowing Travis' plan, I really expected that he would give me a compliment. Other than that, worry washes all over me at the thought of Ross coming. In this situation, for sure once he and Travis face each other in this place, Savrina's party will have an electric shock. Right now, I don't know what to do. And facing at Sienna she said, "So?" She seemed at a loss for words to say. I know she's worried about me especially since she's not innocent of what Travis was up to.I stomped my feet and whimpered, "What will I do?"Sienna's face was filled with worry, she was about to open her mouth to speak but Travis' voice dominated again from outside the door, "Nalani! I know you're there, and I can hear your heartbeat, saying 'I miss Travis, too much
NALANI The situation I'm dealing with now is hard. I know, Ross is already here at the beach but I don't know where he is. With my phone to my ear, I looked around trying to search him, but he was nowhere to be seen. I'm sure he's just hiding and watching me.I caught sight of Travis walking towards me after waving to Savrina. I felt that my face suddenly lost its hue, I can't let Travis get to me. I know Ross won't hesitate to attack him and Travis will definitely do things to upset him."Where are you going?" My body stopped and faced him like a statue. I know he feels Ross is here so the reason behind his grin is clear as he say, "And he's here." He straightened up and pulled the string on his shorts as his cool gesture and tied it again and added, "It's obvious where you were last night but I'm curious if you and he have a commitment." I looked away. If he hadn't told us frankly that he was coming into my life to destroy Ross, I wouldn't have told him the delicate information, b
NALANIReaching to the part, where the waves of the sea hit the big rocks. Glancing at the sky my eyes succumb to the glary sunlight.There are trees of small trees, which live only in the sand. It was surrounded by chirping birds, a symbol of the life I longed for—freedom. I am not free to look at who I used to be, as if the door to the past had been closed for me, and my only choice is to face the present and to the future.The euphoric feeling I feel at this moment, as if this day is perfect, but... it's not enough, I cannot say that I am complete because there is a part of my life that has been hidden for a long time. I want to dig into it but the key is in the person who owns the hand I'm holding, it's Ross'.If this moment is drawn on a clean white paper; walking with him on the edge of the sea under the direct sunlight and the beautiful formation of clouds in the sky, just at the first glance, you can say that our life is perfect. But no, the half behind of this image is torn a
ROSSMillions of fireworks that exploded in my stomach and raced to spread throughout my body—something that I never expected to experience. Pressing her lips against mine, it was like a miracle suddenly granted to me. It seems that my dead positive emotions came to life.Every smack sounds created by our lips, it also seems to erase all the painful memories that return mercilessly to my head. This is the best comfort that I received. I feel that what I lost seems to return. I let out a gasped, between our kisses. My hand ran over her face, to her nape back to her jaw.I pulled her to sit on my lab. Desire aroused throughout my body. I felt the twitch of something, I knew she had once feared but fantasized about between my thighs. It's growing, and since she's only wearing a beating suit, and only a robe is the support to hide the rest part of her body, I know she's still feeling it alive.As her arms wrapped around my nape, one of my hands also went down on her arm. Her skin was so s
NALANI My body carried the feeling of awkwardness when we returned to the cottage. Travis held my hand and pulling me to keep me away from Ross. He was really mad at what he saw and Ross seemed to understand that. They were just behind us, and Sienna immediately met our pace. I pulled my hand from Travis' and looking at him for a moment, I was almost consumed by the fire that blazed from it. So averting my gaze, I face Sienna. She glanced briefly at Travis and behind us, just as Ross and Blythe entered at the cottage. She whispered to me, "What's that? Why are they together and then you're holding hands with Travis? Swap?"I licked my chapped lips and simply pushed her to have a freedom for us to talk. I felt Ross' eyes follow me. I can also see how he was careful not to look like a couple with Blythe. I appreciated that, but I couldn't help but feel jealous.It weakens my strength and I feel like I'm getting sick. When we got a little away from them, I spoke, "I don't know, I mean,
ROSS Typically Nalani, she doesn't know how to hide her emotions. What she feels, that's what she brings out, and that's what we used to worry about. Her emotions might be used against her. Travis is always watching over her when this is the case. Seeing them hugging is not new to me. But I can't help but feel jealous. Maybe if Travis hadn't said that he had an attraction to Nalani I'd be unlikely to feel it. I will get used to the situation that he is my cousin, Nalani is his best friend and they were really closer then, but now after eight years, things have changed. 'Go, get our mate,' Darth requested of me at the back of my head. As my feet stepped into the water, Travis and Nalani were currently looking at me. I can't hear what they're talking about especially since that sense slowly weakening in my system for being Alpha. But my focus on them was interrupted when Blythe called me, "Ross." My ears heats up at my name with no associated title that came out from her mouth. She b
