They went to a table and everyone was there, the atmosphere was amazing from the get-go, and they received a few glances.
They took out their drinks and sat down by the table, the atmosphere was amazing and she set her sites on Brian, he looked amazing with his shirt off.
"Do you want us to wipe the drool off your face?" Paige teased her.
Storm could not help herself until Brian found her eyes, she felt heat rushing to her face and tried to look away but he motioned for her to come.
"Go......" her friends egged her on.
"No, probably wasn't calling out to me."
"He is coming this way," Meghan said in a panicked tone.
"Stop staring."
"Maybe we should leave," Paige replied.
"No, don't!"
Brian sat down next to her and he was really shirtless in front of her, he greeted her friends, "I thought you were going to text me?"
"I wanted to but I did not want to be a bother."
"You're too adorable."
Storm did not miss the part when Noah and Collin came to their table, and they all were the top dogs.
"We will go for a swim later on?" Brian asked.
"Yes." Storm replied.
"Chase, you finally made it." It was Noah this time.
Storm froze a bit when she remembered the encounter that she had with him, she avoided eye contact.
Brian distracted her once more when he took a bit of her hair and played with it. He leaned and she held her breath, "Your hair is beautiful." He whispered in her ear and his breath was tickling her.
"Brian what are you doing?" they both looked up and the girls in front of them were fierce and she knew instantly that they were also the top wolves.
"Talking to Storm."
The girls finally acknowledged her presence, "if I were you I would move."
"We are the ones that came to them, not the other way around," Brian replied.
"They still have to show us respect!"
"Cut it out Beverly, none of us here are in a committed relationship." Chase's voice boomed and he had so much authority that did not allow for defiance.
Storm now saw who Beverly was and she had to admit they were intimidating, and now they were all seated at the same table.
There was so much tension and they knew that as her friends also felt it, what should they do? Would they rather leave or what?
"Chase when are you going to visit me?"
"Natalie cut it out, you and I are not a thing and never will."
Storm was surprised at the way Chase was ruthless, she studied him, he was good-looking alright and she could not deny that.
He had black, brown hair and his eyes were the same, he was very muscular with tattoos on his chest, and when she went back up she found Chase's gaze.
Her eyes widened in panic, he knew that she had been checking him out and she wanted to hide in embarrassment as she looked away quickly.
Beverly had sat on the other side of Brian and she was showing her who is boss as she pulled on Brian and took all his attention.
At least, Paige and Meghan were getting enough attention even though they were the other top female wolves trying to stake their place.
Storm stood up and slipped away unnoticed, she was glad no one stopped her and if they did she had an alibi that she clearly did not need.
She was disappointed at the fact that Brian had not even realized that she was leaving, what did she expect? They all already said they don't commit so, that had gone out the window.
When she found a spot where the sun was streaming in the forest, she sat down and her back leaned against the tree.
Storm closed her eyes as she took in the warmth, and it was peaceful, she would go back later and take a dip in the lake.
If Meghan and Paige were looking for her they would call her. Funny that she was more comfortable when she was away from everyone.
"So this is where you went?"
Storm looked up and she had not heard him arrive, and it was Chase standing in front of her.
Storm froze, and wondered had she done something wrong again? He was truly the alpha as he had actually realized that he had noticed that she had left.“Are you sulking over Brian?”She wondered why he was here? Did he want to taunt her again? Hadn’t she already gone through enough, “No, just needed sometime alone.”“Why are you lying?”“I don’t want to talk about it.”“Are you dismissing me?” Storm could tell that his words had become dangerous, she needed to play it safe, “I would never do that.”“Then should we carry on?”“I don’t want you to waste your time on me, every girl in there wants you and I’m sure they would love to be talking to you.”“You flatter me Storm.”“It’s the truth.”“Then why aren’t you one of them?” Chase replied.“I don’t get it.”“You say every girl wants me but why don’t you want me?”Storm was surprised at his words, she had to think fast, “I’m not that interesting.” What a shitty excuse that she had given.“I did not ask you that.” Chase replied.“I’m savi
The club was booming, and they ran to get some shots after chugging them down they took some drinks and headed to the dance floor.They received a lot of stares, and they danced, a group of guys their age approached them and they smiled at each other as if they knew they were attractive.They started dancing one on one and the drinks were still coming in, this felt too good, the guy took her hand as he was leading her outside.They stood by the alleyway, "You're so beautiful, more than any girl I've come across."Storm, nodded and smiled as she tried to be in the moment, he placed his hands on her waist and pulled her in.As he was lowering his lips to her he was yanked away from her, the guy was about to put up a fight when he immediately stopped and was out of sight.She wondered what had just happened but when she saw Chase, everything made more sense, "Why are you here?""I don't share what is mine.""What is that?""Don't test me Storm.""Test you? Just because you have set your
Storm was confused as to how he managed to do that. How could he leave without being heard? She was about to make her way to the dance floor but could not see Paige and Meghan, she scanned around the room and saw them waving at her.She went up to them and they were seated with the guys they were with, and bummer for her, as Chase had made her partner ditch her."You will tell us everything," Paige said in a low tone.Meghan also winked at her, and she nodded, Storm told Meghan and Paige that she would be on her way back.They asked if she wanted her to come with her, but she refused, they were having fun and besides she could defend herself.So she started to make her way back, and Storm felt someone following her and turned around, and threw a fist.Her hit got blocked, and she was lifted and flipped over to the ground when she tried to get up but her hands were pinned on the side of her head and there was no way she would be able to be free."Your stance is very horrible."Storm wa
Tonight Meghan and Paige were going on a double date and after she had helped them get ready, they left.Storm went to the cafeteria and sat alone, even though they were plenty of them in there, she did not mind.She started to eat her meal, when a tray dropped in front of her and she looked up, it was Brian, "Do you mind if I sit here."Storm was more than happy, her luck was finally turning, "No, not at all."Brian grinned and sat opposite her, "I didn't think you would be a loner.""My friends went on dates.""Why are you here? There is no way you would not have a date, half of the dudes here are dying over you.""Just situations and I'm not interested in them.""Who are you into Storm?"Her mouth went dry, should she be honest? "I...................."Before finishing her confession, another tray dropped and it was Chase with other guys that she did not know, but had seen them hanging out together."You all should go somewhere else, Storm and I are in the middle of a serious conve
Meghan and Paige's mouths had dropped, "What in the soap opera is going on." Meghan replied."You all called it.""I did not think it would happen so soon," Paige replied."Me too, but well what can one do?""So how are you going to deal with it?" Meghan asked."I told them that I have no interest in Chase, as they think that he wants to just have sex and move on.""Sucks that we weren't there to have your back." Said Paige."I just want to forget about them, it's not worth it. Besides I have to find a guy so that I can join you two on your dates.""Brian still out the radar?""We would have had a moment if his pack hadn't come and interrupted us.""What of Chase?" Paige asked."He was there and he did not say much but he still dominates and sets the whole tone.""Aren't you afraid that Chase will let it slip that you two kissed?""I did think about that, and I'm nervous, if only I had not kissed him back, then I could have a way out."They called it a night and went to bed, the next
Storm, Paige, and Meghan had all signed up for hiking class, they wanted to be able to do one class together.They headed to their meeting point and the tour guide was very attractive. They looked at each other and they all knew that they were gushing at the tour guide.They started on their hike and it was hot, the sun was really punishing them, yet the view was rewarding as they sat there.They headed back, they took a nap. They went to the main hall where there was a dance tonight, they wanted all the new wolves to mingle with the ones that were there.The atmosphere was amazing, and they got some punch as they sat and talked to others, Storm needed to pee badly.After relieving herself in the bathroom, she headed out, once in the hall making her way to her friends, "Storm."Storm stopped and turned to Brian, he was waiving at her to come over and she felt a bit sick, all of them had their focus on her.Don't look at Chase, whatever she did, she would not look at Chase but as she w
Storm also made her way inside and there were stares from everyone, of course then knew that Chase had given her his jacket as his scent was unique to the alpha.All the girls seemed to be glaring at her and when she turned to Natalie's pack, she was not upset but waved at her.Storm waved back, and was glad that she was being nice, she got back to Meghan and Paige, "What happened?" Paige asked."The jacket gave it away?""That but mainly, when you were hugging Brian, Chase was staring hard at you two, he did not give anything away, when you took the call, he went after you immediately. Everyone noticed that, did anything happen?" Meghan replied."No, he gave me his jacket.""You will have to tell us everything," Paige said excitedly."I shivered, there is not much to it.""Who would you take? Chase or Brian?" Meghan asked."Brian of course."She turned a fraction and Chase was looking at her directly, he maybe was listening to their conversation, but she looked away.He was intimidat
Tonight Storm had been the one that would get food, and when she headed back, the hairs on the back of her neck rose.Someone was following her, the faster she walked, and she could hear the person matching up her pace.Storm felt sick and panicked, she started to run, and kept on looking behind her and stopped when she ran into someone.She was heaving and when she looked up it was Chase, he looked at her with worry, "Did something happen?"Storm went into his arms as she was shaking from fear, Chase seemed to be taken aback, she held onto him tightly and felt safe.Chase seemed to reluctantly wrap his arms around her when he heard her sobbing, he did not say anything and let cry.After she was done, she pulled back and wiped the tears from her face, "Let's go." Chase said to her.She was frozen in fear, and Chase took her hand and they made their way to her place, "I don't have time now, I will talk to you later."Storm nodded, "Thank you."Chase nodded, "Go in."She went in as he s
She now sat in between Paige and Meghan,“He did what?” Paige asked.At this moment, she did not give a rat’s ass if they could hear them. “Yes, she is in there with him.”“He thinks it’s a joke that he keeps playing you,” Meghan replied.“Honestly, I’m not even supposed to be mad. He did break up with me.”“It’s okay to be upset,” Paige replied.“I initiated most of those conversations.”“What do you want to do now?” Meghan replied.“I don’t know. Kelsey asked if I could leave but Chase refused.”“I think he enjoys tormenting you,” Paige replied.“Right, he seems to be the possessive type, and on a power trip,” Meghan replied.“I just need to work on catching the person that is causing all of this. I don’t want to stay with them or else I will lose my shit watching and hearing them.”“That’s tough, maybe eating together won’t be that bad,” Paige replied.“It is. We had dinner and it was awkward. Chase barely talks. Kelsey is strict, just a disaster.”Her friends listened to her as sh
They got to his place, and she went to her room; it was a bit awkward after the hug, but after unpacking her things, she lay in bed.What did those people want from her, and what power did she have? Did they know her? She tossed and turned a bit.The conversation and the hug kept on creeping in. She grabbed her phone and texted Jeremy that she would see him tomorrow during lunch.Storm wanted to let him know that she wanted to be his girlfriend. There was a light knock on her door, “Come in.”Chase walked in. “Are you going to say yes?”“I’m not getting you?”“To Jeremy?”“Yes, it’s not like you want me.”“Okay, he is good for you and reliable.”“You were all those things for me, Chase.”“I know, but I’m not as steady as him.”“You were, and even now, you come out and protect me whenever I’m in danger and you make sure that I’m safe even now.”“I will always be there for you, no matter the cost.”“I missed being in your arms.”Days had gone by and the night with Chase was forgotten an
“Who was that?”“No one.”“I’m not going to ask you twice.”“I really don’t, but I could sense them.”“What did they say?”“That I have some power and they will tell me later on.”“You aren’t planning to go alone, do you?”“I don’t know.”“You’re not that fucking stupid.”“I don’t want to fight now, Chase.”“Don’t you remember that someone is after you and you were injured?”“I know that, but maybe it is not them.”“You’re coming back to stay with me.”“I don’t want…………..”“I don’t give a shit. I need to watch you 24/7 so you don’t some stupid shit.”“No.”“What did you say to me?”“NO! You want to use your title and position to bully me. I don’t want to be around you anymore and I want to move on from you.”As Chase was about to come to her, she double-lunged and landed a blow. It caught him off-guard, her training was paying off.He looked at her with a smirk on his face and came to her as she tried again. He had her pinned on the ground. “Those work on others but not from me.”She
Chase took hold of her hand and placed it on his bare chest, “I’m real.”“Why show up now?”“Why must I not? Did something happen?”“Yes, Jeremy asked me to be his girlfriend.”“And what did you say to him?”“He said I should think about it.”“Is that why you’re drinking?”“Yes, out of guilt, I should have said yes, regardless.”“So why did you not?”“I don’t know.”“Clearly you don’t want to be his girlfriend.”“And how do you know that?”“You wouldn’t be here drinking.”“I will say yes when I see him.”“Fine, do that.”“Aren’t you at least a bit jealous?”“Why would I be?”“I’m your ex.”“So? You were the one that wanted to leave my place so badly.”“You were the one who dumped me, Chase, and I told you I loved you.”“So you wanted me to lie and tell you that I loved you back?”She swallowed a huge lump. “Part of me wanted you to, I guess.”“I see how much you wanted me.”“You’re the one that made me love and lose my mind, and you know that Jeremy is not the reason why we broke up.
"You said that it was just sex.”“It was.”He let her go and she made her way to her room. He still had the power to hurt her with those simple words.Dinner time came and she was seated opposite him. The air was very tense. She had nothing to say to him.“Are you still mad at me?”“No Chase, I’m not. I don’t have anything to say to you.”“I see, so you’re mad.”“You know what? Everything in my life does not revolve around you. I want us to capture whoever is behind this.”“You want to leave that badly?”“Yes, I can’t wait.”“Fine, I will have to upgrade the security and when that is done, you may leave.”He walked away and left her there. She felt a sharp pain in her heart and went to her room. After a week, she was ready to go back to her place.Chase was not there, and she left. Part of her had hoped that he would ask her to stay, but he did not. She had not seen him the past week at all, after their chat about her wanting to leave.She finally went back to her place,Storm sat on
Storm made her way out and was glad that Chase had not heard her heading out, the alcohol and sleeping late must have knocked him out.She went and met up with Meghan and Paige,“Thought we would see Chase behind you.” Said Meghan.“He is passed out.”“He must knocked out if he could not hear you leave,” Paige replied.“Yep, I don’t know what happened, but he was pissed and broke glasses, and downed down some whiskey.”“Damn, must have been pretty bad news,” Paige replied.“Did you ask him what it was all about?” Meghan replied.Storm told them everything that had happened between,“So he wants you to be the other woman, a secret?” Said Meghan in shock.“Pretty much, made me furious too.”“So, do you know the girl he will be marrying?” Paige replied.“Not yet but all I know is that it is an arranged marriage.”“How are you taking it?” Meghan replied.“Hurt of course, but he was jealous, that Jeremy and I kissed.”“YOU WHAT?” Paige replied.She told them about how she hung out with Jeremy,
Storm realized that he had a cut on his hand and it was bleeding, she headed to the kitchen to check for the first aid kit.After digging around, she was finally glad to find it and hurried back to the living room. She dropped it by the couch and went up to him.He was looking at her and seemed to not care that she was in front of him. She took his hand, and even though he was reluctant, she managed to get him to the couch."What the fuck is it again?""Your hand, it's bleeding."For the first time, he looked at his hand. "So what?""I got a first aid kit.""I don't need it, it will heal soon.""Don't make this difficult Chase, you can carry on with your drinking whilst I nurse your wound.""Suit yourself."She took out some spirits and cotton; she began to dab softly on his wound. She looked at his face, worried that she might be hurting him.He did not seem to care, nor did he flinch or was in pain, but she caught his eyes and held her breath.She shook her head and looked away. Wha
She stopped him. “No, I don’t want to.”Her rejection left Chase shocked as he exclaimed, “So you did like Jeremy when we were together?”“I never did, but he was there for me, even though I fell for you and left him. He was there for me and very nice.”“So you knew that we would end up breaking up, and he was your backup.”“I never said that. I fought and cried for you not to dump me, but you refused. This was all on you.”“The way you were treating me did not match your words.”“Why does that matter? You did not love me and I was just for sex.”“I see, still mad about that.”“Just like you’re still mad about Jeremy, I guess.”“Fine, fair point, so you want to rub it in my face. That is why you kissed him in front of my place.”“No, you’re worse than me, bringing girls over and having sex with them. You know well that I would hear.”“It’s my place and secondly, am I not allowed to have sex?”“So let me also do what I want. Am I not allowed to kiss or have sex too?”“You are going to
The food melted in her mouth, “Did you make this?”“Who else would?”“It’s amazing, did not know that you could cook.”“There is a lot you don’t know about me.”“Obviously, we only dated for a month.”“One thing I know was the sex was good. They say you never forget your first.”Storm became annoyed by his response as he was talking nonsense and taunting her.“Why are you looking at me like that?” He tilted his head in amusement.“Why do you think?”She carried on eating, then she did the dishes as he had cooked dinner, and when done, returned to her room.Storm closed the door slightly so that Chase would not bother her about closing it. After changing into her pajamas, she sat on her bed and watched a series that she had wanted to watch.She clicked on the watcher, her heart was beating fast, and she was over in her head as it felt as if this was her case.What if she was also being watched like this? She gulped at the response and carried on watching.“Storm.”She jumped, how had s
