(Ponto de vista de Cole)

Acordo subitamente com um suspiro, quase caindo da cadeira enquanto a estrada asfaltada e lisa se transforma nas vibrações crocantes de uma estrada de cascalho. Pisco várias vezes, limpando meus olhos o suficiente para ver a placa, 'Bem-vindo a White Ridge, uma Comunidade Fechada'.

"Espera," eu suspiro de repente em pânico. "Deveríamos estar indo para a alcateia da Lua Negra."

"Calma, Cole. Está tudo bem." A voz de Jamie é calma, mas assertiva, enquanto ele tenta acalmar meu crescente pânico.

"Não está tudo bem. Não era para estarmos aqui." Tento convencê-lo.

"Não, Cole. O Delta Ashman explicou que o conselho mudou os planos. Membros de nossa alcateia estão aqui, então seu pai pediu que nos buscassem e o conselho concordou."

"Isso significa que ele não vai nos buscar até que o resto seja enviado para casa. Ele não vai buscar apenas dois lobos."

Estou realmente começando a entrar em pânico, pois o Ativan acabou e percebo completamente o que está acontecendo.

"Isso foi discutido antes de você sair de Crimson Dawn. Os únicos detalhes que me foram dados foram para te transportar para nossa alcateia."

O delta no banco da frente da van comenta. Eu calo meus comentários à medida que minha inquietação com a situação cresce. Lembro-me da conversa entre o alfa e esse delta de uma alcateia diferente da planejada e estou lutando para entender minha repentina inquietação sobre a situação.

Enquanto eu estava bem com os arranjos no território do Alfa Black, agora que estou aqui meus instintos estão gritando que tudo está errado com essa transferência. O Delta Ashman para lentamente em frente a um grande complexo de apartamentos composto por três prédios, cada um com quatro andares, mas a falta de iluminação externa e a escuridão da noite engolem completamente todos os detalhes do território. O delta sai rapidamente da van, abrindo a parte de trás antes de se dirigir para as portas dos passageiros. Ele as abre em uma exibição de agressividade muito mais intensa do que a que ele havia mostrado enquanto estava no território do Alfa Black, causando ainda mais inquietação em mim. Jamie envolve os braços ao meu redor enquanto o clássico chiado de um ataque de asma começa e eu sei que vou ter uma má experiência, sendo induzida pelo pânico.

"Confio que a viagem até aqui foi tranquila?"

Outra voz fala do lado de fora da porta.

"Houve um pequeno atraso para começar, mas uma vez na van eles pareciam se acalmar. Com a reação de um deles ao estar aqui, pode haver algumas dificuldades para fazê-los sair da van."

"Por que você acha isso?"

A nova voz ficou rouca e impaciente.

"Vamos, rapazes, não tenho a noite toda." Ele grita impacientemente, tornando ainda mais difícil para mim me mover.

"Nunca vi tanta coisa empacotada para dois homens."

Ele rosna enquanto começa a puxar nossas coisas de trás e jogá-las no pavimento em frente ao prédio de apartamentos.

"Saia!" Ele grita ao passar pela porta.

Não consigo me conter e dou um grito em resposta à sua crescente impaciência.

"Vamos, Cole, precisamos sair."

Jamie afirma firmemente, com um toque de nervosismo.

"O que está acontecendo com eles?" A segunda voz fala novamente.

"O que tem problemas de ansiedade está dizendo que não deveríamos estar aqui. A situação foi explicada a eles antes de entrarem."

"Eles foram informados de que foram adicionados de última hora à corrida?"

"Não, Alfa Whiteman, essa informação não me foi dada."

Embora sua resposta ao seu alfa seja mais calma, é a última peça para minha mente já desmoronando.

"Não!" Não consigo deixar de engasgar com meu grito à medida que tudo começa a piorar.

Luto contra o controle de Jamie sobre mim enquanto minha mente começa a ser invadida por pensamentos negativos. Nunca fiquei fora do território por mais de seis meses e não há como saber por quanto tempo ficarei longe se o que ouvi do Alfa Whiteman estiver correto.

"Deixe-me lidar com isso, alfa. Ambos sabemos que você não lida facilmente com questões de saúde."

Uma voz muito mais gentil rompe a névoa densa em que entrei.

"Você está certo sobre isso. Estou indo descansar. Ligarei para o Alfa Redmen de manhã para obter mais clareza sobre a situação."

"Eles parecem próximos. Temos algum apartamento com duas camas disponível?"

"Sim, Beta Greene, o 12B no primeiro andar está disponível."

Uma voz feminina se torna aparente.

"Comece a levar as coisas deles para o apartamento. Parece que um deles está tendo um ataque de asma. Quando eu tirá-los da van, preciso que você mostre para o que está bem o caminho para o quarto, enquanto eu levo o outro para ser examinado pelo médico."

"Sim, senhor." Ela fala enquanto ouço um conjunto de passos se aproximando da porta.

Estou chocado, mas não me movo do abraço de Jamie enquanto sinto alguém entrar na van, sentando no banco atrás de nós.

"Vocês dois parecem bem próximos, mas você é um pouco jovem para estar em sua segunda chance, companheiro."

"Nós não somos companheiros destinados, senhor." Jamie começa a explicar em voz baixa. "Eu sou o beta destinado dele."

"Isso explica muito mais do que minha suposição. Preciso que os dois saiam da van e preciso que o jovem alfa aqui me siga até a clínica. Precisamos controlar esse ataque de asma antes de nos encontrarmos com o conselho. Esse nível de medo de estar no lugar errado não é normal."

"Não!" Engasgo em meu grito enquanto meus pulmões se contraem ainda mais. "Não.... conselho.... Testes.... dolorosos.... Apenas.... preciso.... nebulização.... nebulização...."

Estou ofegante enquanto espiralo, há algo sobre estar aqui que simplesmente não está certo.

"Devagar, Alfa Redmen, estou tendo dificuldade em te entender."

"Ele teme o envolvimento do conselho. Eles só pioram as coisas quando ele chega em casa. Tudo o que ele quer é um tratamento com nebulizador e voltar para Crimson Dawn. Ele tem medo de que seu pai tenha mentido para o Alfa Whiteman como uma forma de nos abandonar aqui até que o resto da alcateia seja enviada para casa."

"Lamento ouvir que você não teve a experiência com o conselho que deveria. Posso atender ao seu pedido de não envolvê-los e com certeza levá-lo à clínica para um tratamento com nebulizador, mas pode ser difícil te devolver para Crimson Dawn. Qual é o seu nome, beta?"

"Sou Jamison Williams, mas todos me chamam de Jamie."

"Ok, Beta Jamie, você pode ajudar a tirar seu amigo alfa da van?"

"Todo mundo é chamado por seu posto? Cole realmente odeia ser um alfa." Jamie diz tristemente.

"Sim. O Alfa Whiteman é um alfa muito formal e espera o mesmo de todos os outros. As únicas opções que os visitantes têm são serem chamados pelo primeiro ou último nome. É importante começar a se mover antes que o Delta Ashman tenha um aneurisma. Agora que ele terminou de descarregar a van, ele estará procurando movê-la para a garagem."

"Sim, senhor."

Jamie confirma o comando, enquanto tudo o que consigo fazer é assentir antes de me esforçar ao máximo para soltar Jamie. Leva tudo o que tenho para mover meu corpo pelo assento, em direção à porta. Caio para trás na porta da van, sentando no chão enquanto respiro pesadamente.

From the first Sir, I wanted to kneel.

Or just be his.

I knew it was him.
He didn’t know who I was. Not yet.

"Don't you know," Julian chuckled into the receiver, "that a proper ex-boyfriend should be as quiet as the dead?"

I paused at the ajar conference room door, attempting to balance the tray of coffees. Creedon was my new boss, now also my boyfriend. I listened at the door.

“Where is that slut of yours, Creedon? Must be a hell of a lay. The coffee is going to be cold,” Michael complained. “What's the point in keeping her around? She's not even your breed.”
Not his breed?
“You know me, I like nice accessories, Besides, she is smarter than she looks."
An Accessory?
“Stop toying with the girl. You're letting her get too close to us. Not to mention the scandal you’ll have with the press once they realize she's a poor country girl. America will fall in love with her, you will just crush them when you’re done with her. Poor Image...” The sound of fits hitting the table silenced the room.

“She’s mine! She is no concern of yours. I can fuck her, breed her, or cast her aside, remember who's in charge here. “If I want to use her as a cum bucket, I will." His anger explosive.
Breed me? Cast me aside? Cum bucket? I think not!*

“She is pretty, but she’s of no value to you, Creedon. A pebble in a sea of diamonds, darling. You can have any woman you desire. Fuck her out of your system, and sign off on her,” Latrisha spat. “That one is going to become a pain in your ass. You need a bitch that will submit.”

Someone, please, come mop up the word vomit this woman has just spewed.

“I have her under control, Trisha, back the fuck off.”

**Control? Oh, hell naw! ** He hadn't met the take no bullshit southern bitch I could be.

Rage brewed as I elbowed open door.

Well, here goes everything.

But that night... we were broken. We had just buried our parents. And the grief was too heavy, too real...so I begged him to touch me.

And he did. He held me like I was something fragile.
Kissed me like I was the only thing he needed to breathe.
Then left me bleeding with six words that burned deeper than rejection ever could.
