“How old will he be on Friday?”
“18”
I was quiet after that for a second. I knew first hand things don’t always go according to plan. “Well, I guess I will find out Friday if I am destined to be tormented by him for the rest of my life.”
Kelly nodded, “It will make your decision about staying or leaving a simple one.”
I absently nodded and finally heard Zach’s door open.
We finally made our way back to the packhouse. Kelly showed me my room on the second floor. Zach and Brooke made their way up to the fourth floor where he would be staying. The more I see them together, the more I know he is not leaving here. I am both happy for him and sad I don’t have a travel buddy anymore. Maybe she will want to come with us? I laid my bag on the bed and looked around. Right when you walk in is a small living room area with a dark brown leather couch and two wooden end-tables with black lamps. A large TV was mounted to the ceiling and when you pushed a button, it descended and you could rotate it so you could watch it from the bed or the couch. On the other side of the couch was a French door that led to a balcony with a wooden rocking hair. A fourposter bed with sheer white fabric cascading down on the sides. Behind the couch were two doors, one that had a huge walk-in closet and the other a large bathroom. The bathroom consisted of silver tiles that lined the floor and up the far wall of the waterfall-style shower. Basic subway tile finished off the shower and was matched with a white vanity with two sinks. The room was nice and cozy. Falling back into the bed, I let out a long sigh.
Knock knock! Before I could even reply, Kelly opened the door, “Girl, get ready!”
“Get ready?”
“We are going to go down to the game room and play pool or watch a movie. Just hangout and meet a few more people” Kelly said as she walked into my room, grabbed my arm and pulled me up. I tried to do the best dead weight I could, but she was strong.
“Fine, fine! I am coming, let’s go!” I said, giving up the half-hearted fight.
Kelly led me down the stairs, across the foyer to the other side of the house. She opened a door and I was greeted with loud voices arguing, balls hitting balls and laughter. As Kelly pulled me in and brought me up to a young girl playing pool with her friends.
“Ashley, this is Nina, Nina, this is Ashley. She is Beta Ethan’s daughter”, Kelly said.
Ashley was younger, around 13-14 years old, with deep brown eyes with long blonde hair. “Hi! It is nice to meet you!”
“Hey, nice to meet you too!” I said with a smile on my face. I felt someone watching me and I turned to see Wyatt up against the wall girl who was like a freaking model clinging to him like a leech. She was 5’9″, skinny, toned with dirty blonde hair that stopped right below her shoulders. She had her head back laughing at whatever he said, but he seemed to be annoyed by her very presence. Turning back around, I realized I missed whatever Ashley said.
“I think that would be fun! You want to go, Nina!?” Ashley said.
“Of course, she does! It will be so much fun!” Kelly said. “You like shopping, right? We need something sexy to wear on Friday. We need to make a statement!”
Ah, dress shopping for Friday. Well, I do need a dress… “Okay, I am in!” I said.
“Awesome!” yelled Ashely as she jumped up and down, clapping her hands.
“What is so awesome over here” the model-like girl said as she moved beside Kelly, resting her hip on the pool table and folding her arms over her chest, making her boobs pop out more. Ashley rolled her eyes with a grimace on her face. Kelly looked down right annoyed at this girl.
“What do you want, Samantha?” Kelly asked as her glare got deeper.
“I am just wondering what everyone is so excited about over here.”
“We are going shopping for dresses for Friday, if you must know” Ashley said.
“Yeah, that’s a good idea, you and Kelly don’t have anything nice to wear like I do, so a shopping day is a must for you. And who is your friend here? By the looks of it, she will need a dress too if she plans on party crashing”, Samantha said. She had a very spoiled brat attitude.
“I am not sure if it is considered party crashing if the Alpha himself invited me, but since you were so keen on sticking your nose where it doesn’t belong, let me help you out. My name is Nina and am here to stay for a while, so unless you plan on making an enemy out of me. I suggest you go back to spreading your legs or whatever you do to give you this false sense of entitlement. This will not end well for you; I can promise you that.” I said flatly in a bored tone, so I didn’t give her the satisfaction that she could get to me. As I turned to leave, I heard a snarly ‘bitch’ and a hand grab my forearm. Without even thinking about what I was doing. My fist balled into a fist and I let my right hook swing with my full force, punching Samantha right in the nose. The satisfying crunch of her nose breaking echoed across the room. I didn’t realize everyone had stopped to watch and listen to our interaction. My eyes fell on Samantha, who was about five feet back and on her back. Blood was gushing from her nose. She quickly got up and ran out crying, passing a quietly observing Wyatt. Everyone held their breaths to see what he was going to do.
Wyatt shot back what was left of his drink, nodded his head at me and turned around and walked out of the room. You could hear an audible sigh as everyone let out their breath. They were holding.
“I don’t know who she is but that felt good” I said, looking at Kelly. I didn’t need to worry if I did something wrong as she had a huge smile plastered across her face.
“That was fucking awesome!” Kelly said.
Soon everyone came up to me and introduced themselves. They were all so welcoming and it turns out that Samantha is a Warrior’s daughter who has a big ego. She has been throwing herself at Wyatt in hopes he will make her his mate. I found it funny that I guessed right, she does tend to spread her legs if it will help her get what she wants.
After a few rounds of pool and a couple of beers, I decided it was time to call it a night. If I were going to go shopping tomorrow, I would need some sleep. I said my goodnights and started making my way to my room.
It took me a few different turns but I eventually found it! Pushing the lock sequence on the door, I opened it and stepped inside. The hairs on my neck were instantly up. The air seemed colder, the room was pitch black, but I could tell the balcony door was open and someone was sitting in the arm-chair.
“You know it is rude to break into someone else’s room” I said as I kept my back plastered to the door.
