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
Mariah POVBack to school today. I spent the whole weekend with Nick. Logan hasn’t answered my calls or texts since the incident on Friday night. I know he is mad at me, so I’m trying to give him some space. Hopefully, I will see him in school today, and we can clear the air. Rose and I are getting ready while Nick and Josh wait downstairs for us. I am wearing a white crop top with a jean jacket, skinny jeans, and some white sneakers; my hair is in a high ponytail, and I only have eyeliner and some lip gloss on.“I’m done, ready to go down?” I asked Rose.“Yeah, I’m ready. Let’s go.” Rose replies."Are you ready for everyone to see you and Nick holding hands today?” Rose asks.“I’m ready to show everyone he belongs to me; even though we are not fated, or at least I don’t think we are, he will always be my chosen.” I answer and smile.“I’m so happy you guys don’t have to hide anymore.” Rose says so and smiles.“Me too, girl, me too.” I respond.We reach downstairs, and Nick sees me and
Nick POV We have been driving around for a while, but Mariah still looks pissed. I wonder what Mila told her to get her to snap. “Are you okay?” I ask. “Yeah, I’m fine. I shouldn’t have let her get to me.” Mariah replies. “Do you want to talk about it?" I ask with a raised eyebrow. “Not right now; what I want is something to eat and then dessert.” She replies with a smirk. “The dessert part sounds interesting; care to tell me what kind of dessert we are talking about?” I say, and I put my hand on her thigh and squeeze it gently. “How about we get some food in me first, then we can talk about dessert?" She says it flirtatiously. “Whatever my queen wants, my queen gets.” I replied and winked at her. “How about Chinese? I have been wanting it all day.” She says it with a pout. “Chinese is perfect, but we will order it to go, and we can go to my hotel and watch a movie or make a movie; how does that sound?” I ask. “Sounds like the perfect date.” She responds with a huge smile.
Mariah POV Today is my 18th birthday. We are currently getting ready in one of the guest rooms. My mom is getting her hair done, Rose is getting her makeup done, and I am getting my nails done. A few hours later, we were finally done and looking gorgeous. My mom is going to wear a black A-line off-the-shoulder sleeveless long floor-length charmeuse dress with a smokey eye make-up look, some nude lipstick, straightened hair, and some silver heels. Rose is wearing a black cut-out front ruched split thigh backless halter dress, a gold smokey eye, and burgundy lipstick with some nude heels. I’m wearing a red elevated attraction maxi dress, and my makeup consists of a red smokey eye with a wing liner and red lipstick. I have black heels on, and my red hair is straight. I’m feeling like a million dollars today. We head to the ballroom, and I gasp when I walk in. The decoration looks amazing—better than I imagined. As I walk in, people start congratulating me. I smile and tell them thank you
Mariah POVEverything started spinning suddenly. I felt someone’s arms wrap around my waist, and I stiffened. I turned to tell Logan that I’m okay, but I’m surprised when I see Nick holding me. When did he get here, and where did Logan go? Did Nick hear him confess his love and kick him out? I feel weird, but at least my Alpha is here to take care of me. He brings me out of my thoughts when he asks me if I’m okay.“I’m okay now that you are here.” I say this and crash my lips against his.I take him by surprise, and it takes a moment for him to kiss me back, but the minute I unbuckle his pants, something ignites in him, and he grabs the back of my neck and deepens the kiss. I’ve missed him so much today that I’m desperate for him to be inside of me. He lets go of me and unbuttons his shirt. I quickly help him and put his pants down. He pulls away from me, kicks his shoes off, and removes his pants. I pull him towards the bed, and once we are close, I push him to the bed. I slip my dre
Mariah POVI fix my clothes quickly and head out the door, searching for Nick.What the hell happened? How did Logan trick me into thinking he was Nick? How can he do that to me? And how did I fall for it so quickly?I go up the stairs, tracking Nick’s scent. I follow his scent to his room, and I slowly open the door. I freeze when I see him. His look of rage makes me shiver. I walk in regardless of how nervous I’m feeling, and I close the door behind me.“What are you doing here, Mariah? I don’t want to talk to you.” Nick growls."Baby, please, we need to talk this out. Listen to me, please.” I plead."HEAR, WHAT MORE OF YOUR LIES?” He snaps.“They are not lies." Nick, you know me; when do I ever lie? You know I tell the truth, even if it hurts someone’s feelings.” I say.He stalks towards me, and I back up slowly. I bump into the wall, and he cages me in.“Why did you do it? Was I not enough?” He says this, breaking my heart at how vulnerable he looks.“I don’t know what happened, ho
Nick POV I get back from my run and get some shorts from the bushes. I head in and go straight to my room. I can tell Mariah is still here, but I don’t want to see her, so I rush up the stairs three at a time, and once I’m in my room, I make sure I lock my door so no one comes in. I head to the shower. I get in and let the hot water hit me. How can she do this to me? (I was willing to give up everything for her.) I groan to myself. Does she really expect me to believe that story? (How dumb does she think I am?) I finish my shower and get out. I wrap the towel around my waist and head to my room. I grab my phone and lay on my bed. I click on my messages, and I have like ten texts from Mariah and one from Mila. I decide to ignore Mariah's, and I open Mila’s text. Mila: Hey, I heard what happened. Are you okay? Me: Honestly, I don’t want to talk about it. Mila- I understand; just know I’m here for you if you ever need someone to talk to. Me: Thanks; I’m going to go to sleep. Goodnigh
