“Oh yes!” Nancy agreed. “Do you know there is a lovely lake just a mile from here? Would you like to take a plunge in it after the training?”
“Sure!” River liked her idea. And then she spun on her left heel and landed her kick on Nancy’s abdomen.
Nancy tried to dodge herself, but was still hit. “You are pretty agile!” Nancy said and lunged at her. She tried to box her temple, but River moved back in a split second and her hand swiped in the air. Nancy laughed, surprised. She was about to lunge at her again, but this time River bent down and head butted her left thigh. Nancy fell down. “F**k!” she gritted her teeth.
The two had a great time training together in which River realized that she could easily match Nancy’s strength and agility. It was as if it was natural to her. When they finished, they picked up their towels and wiped their sweat. “Are you free in the evening?” Nancy asked her. “We all are planning to go to the Pink Harbor pub.”
“I don’t know if I will be allowed,” River said sheepishly.
“Why would they not allow you?” Nancy asked with a frown.
“I mean, I am a breeder and-“
“Chill girl!” Nancy laughed at her nervously. “No one will stop you. You can come with us! We are a group of four warriors. If you like you can bring Mia with you.”
“Mia?”
Nancy bobbed her head. “I pity that girl so much. Ever since Rosalie was in the castle, she controlled Mia a lot, but now that she is out, Mia can be… herself.”
A low growl from behind made them snap their heads at the back. “Beta Elijah!” Nancy gasped, her body straining with tension.
“What are you girls talking about Mia?” he said, his voice laced with danger.
Nancy blinked her eyes. “It’s nothing much Beta. It’s just that I was wondering if River could come with us to the Pink Harbor Pub. And I asked her to get Mia with her.”
“Just like that?” Elijah growled.
Nancy froze in her place. “1- I am sorry Beta. I didn’t know that-“
“Mia can go with you, but I will also accompany these two girls. In fact, I will bring three warriors with me for protection.”
Nancy’s m*uth opened in the shape of O. She wasn’t expecting that the beta would also like to go to the pub. “S-sure,” she replied, shocked. “At 9PM.”
Elijah turned sharply to leave. “I will be getting the girls with me at 9PM.” Saying that he walked away from them to a group of young male warriors.
Nancy turned to look at River with raised eyebrows. “Beta Elijah to the pub? That is soon going to become the talk of the pack!”
River tittered. “There’s a first for everything in this world!”
Nancy took River to the lake that she was talking about in her car. It was a beautiful lake, surrounded by dense trees on all the sides. The water was clear and cool and River was surprised to see a variety of fish inside. It wasn’t too big but she couldn’t help thinking of Alpha Hunter. She couldn’t help missing him.
She wondered if he would ever come to the lake with her.
Nancy and River played in the lake for a long time until they were tanned. River realized that her tan lines had become wicked. When she returned to the castle, she found a very angry Faria.
“Where the h*ll were you?” Faria growled. “I was so worried!”
River mentioned to her about Nancy and that they had gone to the lake. “It was great, Faria. You should come with me next time!”
“No way!” Faria growled again. “But at least tell me where you have gone the next time. I get very worried!”
“I am sorry, Faria. I will let you know from now on.” River turned to go to the bathroom when she spun.
“Oh, I forgot to mention. Tonight I will be going to the Pink Harbor Pub along with Mia. Beta Elijah will also be coming with us.”
Faria’s eyebrow shot to the roof. “Mia? Elijah?”
“Yes! Could you please get her ready as well?”
A semblance of a smile spread on her lips. “Yes, I will get her ready as well. Mia would love it. That girl hasn’t experienced a good life ever since Rosalie stepped in the castle…”
Exactly at 8:30PM, River and Mia were dressed for the pub. River was wearing black mini skirt with a red sleeveless top while Mia was wearing blue jeans and a whte silk blouse.
“You look so beautiful!” Mia said and hugged River. “And thank you. I am dying to go to the pub!”
“Hey, you look just as pretty, Mia!” River said. She really felt bad for Mia. Being a royal she had limited access to every place.
Elijah came to pick them soon after in his jeep. Another car with three warriors was behind his jeep.
River noticed that Mia blushed heavily in his presence. Before she could sit in the passenger seat, Mia hopped in it. River poked her tongue in her cheek and sat on the rear seat. Throughout the journey, Mia was quiet and kept glancing at Elijah once in a while.
