Mariah POVI wake up close to Nick, and the last thing I remember him saying is, "I love you." I'm not sure how I feel about it. Part of me wants to believe him and give in to our feelings, but another part of me is afraid that he will discover his mate and instantly fall in love with her, and then I will get hurt. I peel his hands away from me and go to the bathroom. I enter the bath, fill it, and lay down. I'm getting a headache from having so many thoughts running through my mind. Will I reject my fated mate for him? Will I ever meet my fated mate? What if he's my fated mate? I sigh and close my eyes. So, I guess I'll have to wait another two months to find out; I guess I'll just have to go with the flow till then.I'd been in the bath for about thi
Mariah POVIt’s been three weeks since Mila saw us together in Nick’s hotel room, but things have been quiet—too quiet for my liking. I have a feeling she is plotting something, especially the way she looks at me and gives me those little smirks. I have a bad feeling, but Nick assures me she wouldn’t dare say anything; she knows what’s good for her, so I try to push it out of my mind and calm down.My 18thbirthday is in two weeks. Rose, Nancy, and I are going to the mall to get our outfits for my party. We go from store to store looking for our dresses, accessories, shoes, and matching lingerie sets. We are all looking for either red or black dresses since I’m having a red and black party. I made sure my mom put in the invitation the dress cod
Nick POVI arrive at the food court. I go to the table where my friends are sitting, and I take the seat next to Logan, bitch ass. He turns to look at me, then stands up and snaps.“Why the fuck do you smell like Mariah?" Logan growls.“You better watch your fucking mouth.” I growl.“Or what? What are you going to do, Nick?" Logan snaps."Logan, calm down. I’m sure my brother has a perfectly good explanation for it.” Rose says."Yeah, Logan,
Mariah POV“Josh, no, please.” I plead.“I don’t want to hear it, Mariah; you should have known these were going to be the consequences of sleeping with my best friend.” Josh growls.“Don’t take it out on her, Josh; your anger is towards me; so take it out on me. Hit me all you want; I know I deserve it for going behind your back instead of talking to you.” Nick says calmly.Josh hovers over Nick and starts punching him a few times. Nick is just lying there, taking in all the hits, his face looking all bloody. I let out a scream and tried to push Josh off Nick, even though I’m pissed off with him; that doesn’t mean I want him to get his ass whooped. I’m trying my best to pull Josh off Nick, but suddenly he pushes me back, and when I fall, my head hits something hard. I hear my brother curse.“Fuck Mariah.” Josh says worriedly.“What the fuck did you do?" Nick growls; it’s the last thing I hear before everything goes dark.I wake up with the sunshine rays in my face, and it takes a min
Nick POV“Fuck.” I said and punched the door. Josh guides me out the door; once we are out, he crosses his hands and glares at me.“What the hell was that in there? Why did Mariah look like she was about to cry?” Josh says, furious.“She saw Mila kissing me.” I respond, annoyed.“You fucking cheated on her?” Josh snaps and grips me by my shirt.I grabbed his arms and yanked them off of me.“You’re lucky you're my best friend and beta, because if you were someone else, I would have beaten your ass a long time ago for disrespecting me.” I growled. “And about cheating on Mariah, I would never, man. I love her. I know you probably don’t want to hear this, but it’s the truth; I would never hurt her. I was waiting for her in my room, so I left the door to my room unlocked, so she could come in. When I came out of the shower, my door opened, and that’s when Mila came in crying, saying she missed me, and out of nowhere she kissed me, that’s when Mariah walked in and saw her kissing me with no
Mariah POVI’m about to walk out of the room to slap the bitch who thought she could get away with kissing my man when Nick stops me from opening the door, holding the door with his hands, caging me between himself and the door. He presses himself against my back and whispers in my ear, sending a shiver down my spine.“Not tonight, beautiful; tonight, you are all mine.” He whispers huskily.“Nick.” I say, but it sounds more like a moan.He spins me around so I can face him. I swallow hard at the predatory look he has on his face.“I love it when you say my name, but do you know what I love more than you saying it?” He asks.“W-What?” I stuttered nervously.He gets close to my ear and licks it, making me squeeze my thighs shut."You screaming it.” He growls and picks me up, making me yell.I wrap my legs around him; he grabs my hair and crashes his lips against mine; his tongue demands entrance, and I give it to him; his passionate kiss is sending delicious sparks through me. A breathl
Mariah POVI’m getting dressed after having a few rounds of sex with Nick. I can feel his burning gaze behind me, making the hairs on the back of my neck stand. I feel him get closer, and suddenly he wraps his arm around my waist and pulls me against him.“Never come to the club without underwear again.” He growls in my ear.I turn around to face him; his hand doesn’t leave my waist, and I raise an eyebrow.“What happens if I don’t listen to Alpha?" I say it seductively.He leans close to my ear, causing me to shiver, but I try to act like he isn’t affecting me.“Then I would have to punish you.” He growls in my ear, sending shivers through my body.I try to compose myself, and I gather all my strength and push him away from me. I can tell he wasn’t expecting it; I can see his shocked expression, and I smirk.“I do whatever I want, Nick; remember, you don’t own me.” I say it firmly and turn to leave.I hear a growl from behind me. I turn to look, but by the time I turn, he is already
Logan POVI head to my car after having that confrontation with Nick. I can’t believe Mariah played me like that. I knew our relationship wasn’t serious, but I thought I could make her fall in love with me; she is supposed to be mine.I’m about to get in my car when a familiar voice calls my name. I turn to see Mila jogging towards me."Logan, wait up.” Mila calls out.“Not now, Mila. I’m not in the mood.” I am annoyed.She grips my hand to prevent me from getting in the car.“What happened to you?” She asks concern clear in her eyes.“I don’t want to talk about it; Mila, what do you want?” I reply, and she smirks.“Let me guess Nick did that for Mariah." She says this and puts a hand on her waist.I raise an eyebrow. “How did you know where you were spying?” I ask.“Nope I caught them together too a while ago; I know how you feel, Logan. I felt the same way when I caught them hurt and betrayed.” She says.I sigh. “I’m sorry you went through that too, Mila.” I say honestly.“Thank you
