"Hmmm," James hummed, not paying attention to Ryder.
"RY," I warned.
He chose to ignore me.
"We picked up the phone to tell you that u were in the restroom," Ryder continued
"RYDER," I snapped
I could see James and Samuel gulp at my outburst. Ryder ignored me again.
"Someone was talking about a spy, microphones, and stuff..... Care to explain?" Ryder continued.
That nerve of him to ignore me and go against me!
"RYDER! Let Knox have control now!" I growled.
I made a promise to myself that I won't use my powers on him.
"No," he growled back.
"Ryder," I warned.
"No," He huffed.
"I will deal with you later," I said to Ryder.
"James, explain before I lose my control," I said to him.
"I can't tell you," He hesitated.
"Course you can," I said through gritted teeth.
"They will kill my sister," He whispered
"They will what ?" I asked, shocked.
"You said she is on a trip," Ryder asked.
'There are microphones everywhere in this house. I only fixed two of them in your room and Knox's. There is some other spy in our pack' He mind-linked me.
'Do you know them?' I asked through the mind link
'I dont know her name, but I can only tell you someone is in trouble in your pack,' He said
'Zes, please save my sister,' He said. I saw a tear slip down his face
I hugged him
"I will do what I can to save her," I whispered
Ryder growled. He stood up from the chair and punched the table. The table broke. He lost control; his emotions were not stable.
I growled.
"Samuel, control your son, I am already angry! ask him not to make it worse," I growled.
Ryder started to walk towards James. I stood in front of James, protecting him. He charged at James, but since I was in front of James, I had to fight Ryder. Ryder threw a punch aimed at James. I ducked, pulling James with me.
I tackled Ryder, and he fell to the ground. I lost balance, I slipped on one of the wooden pieces of the table, and fell on top of him. He held both arms, trying to get me off him. My hands were on his neck, not letting him get up, but not choking him. His claws were piercing through my skin. I winced in pain as the blood flowed through my arms. If I could choke him, I could stop all this, but I can't.
This brings too much memory. It was when I tried to push... never mind.
SAMUEL'S P.O.V
God, my son just went rampage. Zes could choke him; she is hesitating. She is bleeding because of Knox's claws. She should use her power, but she is not. I pulled Zes of him and choked Ryder.
"Ryder, snap out of it," I growled.
He growled in response.
"Ryder, look, you hurt Zes. She is in pain because of you! She is bleeding because of you, You hurt your mate! Knox was right! You did end up hurting her!" I yelled.
Ryder's face softened. His eye color turned from grey to blue. His face carried a frown. He took my hands off him and walked towards her.
KNOX'S P.O.V.
I hurt Zes. She is bleeding because of me. Because I couldn't control Ryder. It's all because of me. I was angry at myself. I slowly walked towards her, getting out of my father's grip.
I examined her arm. I didn't fail to notice she flinched when I touched her. That broke my heart. I picked up the sobbing Zes and took her upstairs to her room. I went to the washroom and placed her on the counter. I started cleaning the wounds.
"I am sorry," I whispered with a certain vulnerability.
"It's okay, babe, it will heal. You okay?" She said softly.
I looked up to see her face. Her eyes showed concern.
"It's not okay, Zes! I hurt you," I snapped.
She brought her hands up to my cheek and caressed my skin.
"Were you in control when you hurt me?" She asked.
"Nooo..." I said, lost in thought.
"Ryder hurt me, and I think Zene is giving Ryder silent treatment," She added with a chuckle.
"You know the fact that you are calm is more annoying than the fact that I hurt you," I said.
She chuckled and replied.
"We both have Alpha blood in us. If we get angry, there is gonna be chaos, hun," she said
"God, I should have recorded this, Zes saying something which makes sense," I said with an amused smile
She rolled her eyes and hopped off the counter.
"I need to change clothes again," She whined.
I laughed at her. She threw a pillow at me, playfully growling. I rolled my eyes.
"Don't you roll your eyes at me, I am still mad at you!" She said as she rampaged through her closet.
"Oh, really? What will you do to me?" I asked with a smirk
After a moment of thinking, she answered.
"I could ignore you until you make it up," She said with a smirk matching my own.
I am an Alpha having an ego the size of a mountain. So you can't blame me. And I am curious who is gonna come begging to stop this
"Bring it on, babe," I said with a smirk.
ZES'S P.O.V
"Bring it on, babe," he said with a smirk
I felt disappointment fill me, but I didn't show it on my face.
"Two can play this game, Knox," I said as I picked out my clothes
"No sharing rooms, mate," I said as I pointed to the door
He nodded his head and left. God, I am really starting to regret this.
KNOX'S P.O.V
Oh god, screw me and my ego. Kill me. Now I have to ignore her with all my might. I walked downstairs with a sigh and plopped down on the couch where my dad Jason was sitting.
"Sorry for overreacting, man, Ryder was on the edge," I said to James
"It's alright," He said
I gave him a hug and sat on the couch.
'Knox, just so you know, I hate you,' Ryder barked.
'Yeah right, I was the one who hurt Zes, right?' I muttered sarcastically
He huffed in return. I heard footsteps indicating Zes is coming downstairs. She sat as far as possible from me. I couldn't help but feel hurt. She came down all ready to go out, I wondered where she was going.
"Samuel, you could either give company to your son or go to Lilly, or you could ask your son to fix my dining table," She said to my dad
"Where are you going, muchkin?" my dad asked
Yeah, they grew to each other in a matter of days. Yes, and Munchkin is her pet name given by my dad.
"Just driving around, probably with Mae, " She said
"What happened?" my dad asked.
"It's a story for your son to say I have to go, it's getting late," She says, grabbing the car keys.
"I will drive you," Authority boomed in my voice.
She ignored me. I grunted in reply. I picked her up and threw her over my shoulders, making her squeak. I turned to my dad and James and nodded at them. They nodded back and left.
"You said you would ignore me! I never said I would ignore you, also," I said
"Ok, I am sorry, I will make it up to you, I will also replace the dining table," I said, annoyed
"I told you, I would win. You got a nice ass over here, babe," She said with a laugh
"I am enjoying the view over here," I said with a smirk
"Perv," she muttered
"How is that different from what you said?" I asked amused
She didn't reply. I opened my room and threw her on my bed, and went on a rampage through my closet. My closet and Zes's are neat. But when we have to go out, we make a mess, but we also clean up soon after.
"Zes, whose turn is to do the laundry?" I asked her as I put on some cologne.
"Me," She rolled her eyes as she was scrolling through her phone
"Don't roll your eyes, princess," I said as I had a playful scowl on my face
"I don't make promises," She said
"Come on," I said as I walked to the door, waiting for her
She shook her head and didn't make any move to get up.
"You picked me up from downstairs and brought me here, so you better take me downstairs," She whined
"What's the use of your legs ?" I asked
"To kick people ?" She asked, unsure of her statement
I grunted and picked her up.
"Bridal style or piggyback ride. No, throwing over my shoulders, hair will get ruined," She said, shaking her head
I let out a laugh and threw her over my shoulders. She gasped and started hitting me wherever she could.
"Babe," I grunted
"You know how much I like my hair, Knox," She said with a tiny growl
I placed her on the floor. She looked at me with a scowl. I chuckled and pecked her cheeks.
"I only keep you in my house for your kisses," She muttered
"What was that?" I asked with amusement in my voice
"Nothing," she muttered
She pushed me out of our house. I went to the garage, got into my car, and waited for her. She came in after a while with Wiskey in her hand. I really dont think she is going to leave him alone.
'Knox, when you have a kid, will let him/her alone in the house when you both go out?' Ryder asked
'No,' I said quickly
'Then how will Zes leave her child in the house?' Ryder asked as if I were dumb
'What will she do when we go to school ?' I asked him
'I dont know,' he muttered
I was so busy talking with Ryder, I didn't notice Zes had been snapping her fingers in front of my face
"Wha?t" I growled
"God, your mood swing is worse than a woman on her period," She muttered
"Sorry," I muttered
"Just go," She said, looking outside the window and ignoring me
"One caramel apple frappuccino and one iced black tea," I ordered
I noticed Zes smiling from the corner of my eye. It wasn't a long que so we got our drinks quickly. As I got the drinks. I turned to Zes.
"Apology ?" I asked as I handed her black tea
"Sure," She said as she grinned
We drove home having tiny tiny chitchats. After we reached home, Zes went to change her pajamas while I sat down and thought about whether to play or watch a movie. After so much conflict in myself, I was about to turn on the PS4 when Zes slapped my hand away.
"We are watching a movie, go change your clothes," Zes said as she jumped on the couch
I huffed and went upstairs. I changed my clothes to just some grey sweatpants and walked downstairs. Zes was scrolling through her phone. As she heard my footsteps, she looked up.
"Babe goes put on a shirt, you will catch a cold," She said, shaking her head in disapproval.
"I dont want to put on a shirt," I pouted
She sighed and stood up.
"Choose a movie, I will be back," she said as she jogged upstairs
After a moment, Zes came down with her fluffy Blanket and my shirt.
"Shirt or cuddle?" She asked
"Cuddle," I said to her as if it were the most obvious thing
She rolled her eyes and threw the shirt somewhere. She freaking jumped on the couch, which made Chuckle.
"What are we watching ?" She asked as she made herself comfortable.
"You'd better make me breakfast tomorrow," I groaned as I chose Beauty and the Beast. Yes, she loves that movie.
"Babe, if you want me to control Ryder from not marking you should help me by covering your hot legs," I said as I eyed her legs
I noticed a shade of crimson creep up her cheeks as she quickly covered her legs. She was wearing shorts and a full sleeve top matching the pajama shorts. I hummed in satisfaction and started watching the movie.
"Babe.." She started
I already knew where this was heading
"I ordered pizza," I said as I let out a laugh
She chuckled and snuggled closer to me as she watched the movie. Like in half of the movie, the pizza delivery guy rang the doorbell. I got up to get it for mainly two reasons. One, I was hungry; two, I didn't want him to see Zes in shorts. But to my surprise, it was a lady. God, she wouldn't just give me the pizza and take the money and go. She kept flirting and asking if I wanted her number. After so much struggle and glaring, she sighed and handed me the pizza. I gave her the money and slammed the door in her face. I went to the living room and placed the pizza and the soft drink on the table.
"So you done flirting?" She asked as she took out a pizza
I gave her a confused look. She turned to me and I could notice that her eyes were a darker shade of blue.
"What are you talking about?" I asked
"The pizza girl," She muttered as she turned her attention to the TV
Did I mention she is sitting far from me?
"You jealous ?" I asked with a smirk
She turned to me and looked at me as if I had grown two heads
"Me? Jealous of that girl? Yeah, right, I was waiting for the pizza," She said
"Then why are your eyes of a darker shade?" I asked as I kept eating
"Why would I be jealous? You're not even my boyfriend," She snapped. That hurt.
"So you wouldn't mind if I go back to her," I ask, amused, and try to cover up the hurt.
She turned to me so fast, glaring at me. She muttered some colorful words. I chuckled at her behavior.
"Be my boyfriend?" She muttered
Wait. What did she ask me? Did she ask me what I think it is?
"Come again," I asked, surprised
"I said the beast is hot," She said a bit louder and stuffed pizza in her mouth
"Zes," I warned
She sighed and got up. I raise my eyebrow at her actions. Let's say I am over the moon when she comes and sits on my lap facing me. And asks
"Will you be my boyfriend?" She asked softly
I guess I took too long to reply cause my adorable baby started her rant.
"I know I should have waited. Now I asked it too quickly. Now everything will be awkward between us, I mean, I understand that we are mates, but I should also ask about how you feel. I know I dont have any right to be jealous, but I can't help it. I should probably keep my mouth shut. I know I am being annoying, stubborn, and stuff, I also understand if you like someone else. You can reje-" I cut her adorable rant by kissing her
I pulled away from the kiss and said, "of cours,e I will be your boyfriend"
She smiled and kissed me again. After that, we ate and cuddled. As the movie got over we watched a couple of other movies and fell asleep.
