“I am fine. Just need to get back.” I say as I continue to walk off. I stumble to the stairs and see Markus talking angrily with Alena.
“Would you two stop it and go fu*k already? The sexual tension is so I thick I can cut it with a knife.” I say and start laughing like it is the funniest thing I have ever heard. They both stop talking and look at me. I hear stumbling behind me and know it is alaric from his scent. I still feel the butterflies. Stupid butterflies. I look at my bottle and see there isn’t much left. I chug the rest and sit it on a nearby table and stumble over to the stairs. I grab the railing with both hands and start to pull myself up like it is a rope. I start to laugh when I picture what I must look like and I stumble backwards, almost falling down the stairs. I felt hands behind me and looked back to see who it was.
“Ohhhh Alena. You are so kind to me. I really don’t deserve it.” I say as she places an arm under me and helps me up the stairs. After we get to my bedroom Alena goes to help me out of my dress and I sober up a little.
“NO.” I say and jump back from her. She jumps at my reaction then composes herself.
“LeeAca I need to help you out of your dress.” She says calmly like she is talking to a child.
“No. I will do it myself. Thank you for helping me up the stairs, but I am good now.” I say and I saw her face furrow.
“Fine, but I am coming to check back on you in a few minutes.” She says leaving the room and closing the door. I clumsily change into some clothes and then go to lay down. I pass out as soon as my head touches the pillow.
Alarick’s POV
All week I have been worrying about LeeAca. I have no clue what is going to happen tomorrow. Garret assures me she will be fine, but I don’t know that for sure. Nobody does. I went to the training field to see that nobody was there.
“Where are you?” I mindlink Garret.
“In the office with Markus going over pack security for the challenge.” Garret answers back.
“Why are you not with LeeAca training?” I ask, getting angry.
“She took today off.” He says nonchalantly. I don’t answer him, I just head back to the castle. I don’t even know where I am going until I am knocking on her door. When she opens it I calm down some. When I make the connection that it is Maleena’s 18th birthday I feel like sh*t. Of course she wants to try and make maleena’s birthday memorable for her. It might be their last one together. I give her my credit card and tell her Maleena can buy anything she wants. I know that it won’t help with the guilt if she loses her sister, but at least it can help make her last birthday with her sister memorable. I go to leave and LeeAca opens the door and invites me in for breakfast. I mindlink Markus and Garrett and tell them. They were over in less than 30 seconds. The rest of the day was spent working on our security for the challenge, since so many people will be in one place outside of the castle. It is basically a football stadium. I went to get some lunch when I saw Amara dragging Maleena up the stairs. I laugh at the girls then continue to walk towards the kitchen when I see LeeAca trying to walk up the stairs to the castle with so many bags she couldn’t see. It looks like a bunch of bags grew legs and were waddling up the stairs. I couldn’t help but laugh at how it looked. After I grabbed the bags from her and helped her take them up to the apartment she came out of her room holding some cash and my credit card.
“What is this for?” I ask looking at the money, then to her.
“Well Maleena wanted me to get a dress and they already rang up hers and mine together. I figured I would just pay you back for it.” She says handing me the money and my card. I take my card out of the folded cash and lay the money on the coffee table. I know she wouldn’t take it back if I tried to hand it to her.
“I was hoping you would get something too. I know it isn’t a lot, but I am sorry for what is happening. It isn’t fair to you, or to Maleena.” I say then walk over to the balcony door and stare outside. It really is a beautiful day. I sigh and stare. LeeAca walks up beside me. I don’t know what it is about her, but having her near me calms me down.
“It isn’t your fault. You didn’t know they were going to force a Luna challenge. I am sure that whoever wins tomorrow will be able to handle anything you throw at them. Even if it is the contract.” She says, trying to comfort me, but instead it irritates Onin and he pushes forward. He turns to her and looks at her. I feel his love for her and his irritation about having another shewolf. He cups her face and I feel butterflies in my stomach. Oh how I wish sometimes I could feel sparks.
“It’s not about th..” Before Onin could finish, my sister bursts through the door and LeeAca backs up. Onin lets me have control back and I am irritated. My sister needs to learn how to knock.
“Um… Have I missed something?” Alena asks and I get irritated even more.
“NO.” I say a little too roughly and walk out the door. “Stupid wolf, why did you do that?” I ask and he gets angry.
“BECAUSE you don’t have the balls to!” He yells at me then shuts me out.
After I finish some more work I go and get ready for the party. When I walk down I spot LeeAca with my sister and Luna Laura. She is wearing a gorgeous black dress that highlights her breasts and butt. She has me getting hard, just by looking at her. I stand behind her awkwardly when she turns around. Her face looks perfect. The darker eye makeup makes her green eyes pop and her red lipstick makes her lips look full. I can only imagine her taking my c*ck in her beautiful mouth and having her eyes locked with mine until she makes me cum. I feel my cock start to harden and I awkwardly put my hands in my pockets to try and make it less obvious.
“You look beautiful.” I say smiling. She smiles at me, making butterflies appear in my stomach. I don’t understand what she is doing to me, but I don’t hate it. I see her look off to my side and her eyes light up.
“If you’ll excuse me.” She says as she walks toward the door. I watch as she walks away and my c*ck twitches. I see her hug a red haired boy and smile at him. He smiles down at her and I can feel my anger rise. Who the hell is this boy? Is that her mate? I see her walk with him towards the tables of food, but he stops and turns around. He is staring at Maleena, who seems to be frozen in place. Okay so he is not LeeAca’s mate. I don’t hear what is going on when Maleena walks up to her mate, but I sure as hell hear LeeAca.
“Maleena Margaretta Petrovich. Get up to the apartment RIGHT NOW.” She says it’s almost deadly. It caused a shiver to run down my body. “NOW!” She yells and lets some of her aura out. She has a very unique aura, it almost feels a little dark. Kind of like mine when I am angry and ready to kill. Everybody in the room fell silent and was looking now. Maleena walks up the stairs and we all turn to LeeAca and the boy, who was also staring at LeeAca.
“She was going to reject me wasn’t she?” He asks her and then looks down. I felt bad for the boy. What did he do to deserve rejection?
“Let’s go, Lucas.” LeeAca says and grabs his elbow to help lead him up the stairs. I watched as she ascended up the stairs.
Alaricks POV
After forcibly mingling with everybody at the party I was ready for some peace. I went out to the garden and started walking around to enjoy the fresh air. I see black fabric sticking out from a rock and I walk over to find LeeAca downing a glass of whiskey, I believe.
“What are you doing out here?” I ask her as I take a seat next to her. She hold up her glass to me then shoots it back. “You know that won’t do anything for your nerves.” I say and I see a layer of emotion form on her face. She then pours a glass and hands it to me. I swirl it around and smell it. Yup definitely whiskey. I hear her chuckle and take a drink from the bottle. I take the shot she gave me and made a face when it hit my throat. This is not normal whiskey. No it is the sh*t that gets us fu*ked up.
“How did you get this?” I ask her and she rolls her eyes at me.
“Looks like it didn’t work. You need another glass.” She says slowly. I don’t know how much she has had, but she is being careful about her speech. She grabs the glass from me and starts to pour me another.
