Ashely P. O. V.
I gasped when I saw a very tall and muscular guy. He was standing inside the doorway. Then, when I turned, I saw a gorgeous tall, black-haired boy with green eyes, and he was standing at the door when we heard him speak.
Wow, but not like that kind of just, wow, like I want him because I don’t. I thought.
He cleared his throat, and I heard him say in his deep dark voice.
He had accents. Italian.
“I am sorry to interrupt, but I need to talk to my Mother.” I heard him say. So, I am sitting in their fiberglass, staring at him with my mouth wide open.
But I guess I was staring too long when I saw a smirk on his lips staring right back at me. I didn’t know what happened next but heard it.
Growl!
Jayson and I saw the smirk on this guy’s face sitting right beside me. That’s when I knew what he was smirking about. I turned my head, and I saw it.
Jayson snarls and growls and stares right over at Linda’s son, smirking around at him and making Jayson furious.
Oh, no! This will not be good or pretty if they fight inside the room in front of our parents.
So, I need to calm down Jayson quickly before he rips off- what’s his name? I didn’t hear the rest of it when I heard Linda speak, and then she walked over and grabbed him, and they both started walking inside the room. Then, she pulled him out inside the doorway.
“Maxime, honey! Come join us, my sweet boy” She got up and knew what was happening and grabbed his hand and pulled him into the room away from the doorway.
Oh, that’s his name, even his name sounds dangerous and hot! I mean, I am a girl! So, of course, I am going to think he is hot.
That’s when I heard a chuckle on the other side of me. I felt the couch dip because he was sitting right beside me.
I turned my head and looked over at him. I guess he felt someone staring at him, and he turned at me, smirked, and winked over at me.
I blushed and stared down at the floor. Then, I heard a growl vibrating my chest; how deep and long Jayson was growling.
So, I did something to calm him down. I sat his hand on my lap, and I started paddling it and felt him relax a little bit. I gave him a knowing look when I turned my face at him.
But he wasn’t staring at me until I was staring at him. Then, finally, he turned to me, and I could see he would not let anything happen to me. Oh, my, I thought with an eye roll, man!
I am not a piece of meat, Jayson! I wanted to tell him. But I was getting annoying how he acted like a fucking caveman. He thinks he owns me, but I knew he would ignore me, knowing that another Alpha male and mateless was sitting right beside me.
I was still in heat until my mate bites one more time, and then we would be bonded forever. But maybe, I could hint at him finishing the bonding ceremony tonight.
“Well, hello, Bella,” I heard Maxime say, grabbing my other hand, bringing it up to his mouth, and kissing it, staring into my face.
I wanted to tear my hand away because I didn’t want to be in the middle of this macho man/ caveman fighting over the girl in the middle.
“Hi,” I didn’t give him more than that. I lift my hand out of his hold. I moved away from him, a little closer toward Jayson. I heard him chuckle and felt Jayson grab my thigh, showing him that I was his again. I sighed, and I wanted to get away from these idiot boys.
I rolled my eyes, sat back, and folded my arms over my chest.
That is when I kept hearing chuckles and growls. So I started thinking of something to say. That was when I had the idea.
“Hey, Mom and Dad, what’s going and why do we have company?” When I said that. I started looking over at my parents and then at Jayson’s dad and Maxime’s mom Linda.
Well, sweetie, the reason why we called Jayson. Because we knew you guys were together.” I am like, how do they know? Did someone tell them?
Oh, that freaky old- man! I thought with a laugh inside my mind.
Yeah, he can be a pain, I heard Envy mumbled in my mind. I growled at her. She shut up!
Damnnn, girl! you don’t have to bite my head off shit!” I heard her say. I wanted to laugh. But I told her this.
“Okay, I am sorry. Could you shut up! I need to leave them staring over at me. I could see my mom was not happy with me right now.
“I am being rude to guests,” I told her.
Whatever,” She said when she rolled her wolf eyes at me and disappeared behind my mind with Jayson’s wolf.
“Ashely? Everything okay?” My father asked me.
“Oh, yes, daddy,” It’s just Envy, whining she wants to run,” I told them, not a complete lie. I know she wants out. I have not let her out forever since five nights ago.
Oh, okay, sweetheart, he tells me with his warm smile, which makes me light up. But I see the sadness still hiding under the smile. He is worried, and of course, why not.
Cancer is a scary thing. I could not imagine having it. But I wish it would disappear and no one would have it. So I pray to God that with a snap of his finger it poof it’s begun.
I am so lucky to have my parents, and I don’t want to cry. Mom’s surgery should be coming soon. I can’t wait until it’s all gone. But I got to go back for one more fight.
But I couldn’t show my face after that incident when I saw Jayson was inside the ring when I saw him down and hurt. I was thinking at the time. I just knew my mate was hurt. So I went to him, not knowing I still had my mask on.
“So, kids, let’s not beat around the bush,” But we know what’s going on with things around us?” I heard my father say with a knowing expression on his face. I know that look.
Oh, NO! They can’t know, right?
Do they know I have been with Jayson, and I didn’t tell them he was my mate? Or did they know the whole time?
Oh Boy, by the look of how nervous and scared Jayson looked. I can see it’s not going to go well. Or I could be wrong.
But When I saw Jayson’s throat move, I wanted to hide because I was never in trouble, but Jayson was sweating and sitting there with a blank look on his face.
So I could tell he was always in the situation-always in trouble with someone. But when I looked over at Maxime, he smirked.
When I look over at Jayson’s dad and Maxime’s mom, I can see they knew.
That’s we are mates!
I took a deep breath and kept in until I was done with my punishment.
Oh, Boy, here comes the punishment I knew was coming that I never got.
