I look at my luggage before checking that of the kids. I make sure that everything is packed and that we’re good to go.
Lilly and I decided to go via car instead of flying. Bash was willing to give us one of his private jets but I thought it would be more fun going by road. It would be sort of like a road trip.
Both him and Micah had been against the idea at first but we reached a compromise. Hunter was to drive and bring us back.
“You guys leave yet?” Bash’s voice sounds in my mind.
I will never get used to how deep and sexy it sounded. I could hear him talk for hours without getting tired of listening to him.
“Not yet, I was just going through everything while waiting for Lilly to arrive.” I pause. “Hunter is here though and he’s set and ready”
“The kids?”
“Excited as hell for the road trip, more so Krystal. She’s never been to a beach before” I tell him.
Darren isn’t a fan of oceans or any large water body for that matter. So we’ve never vacationed on the beach.
I’ve always wanted to take Krystal but with how things were for Darren I felt like it would be insensitive to go for a vacation and leave him behind. I was happy that now I can finally fulfil Krystal’s wish.
“That’s good. I hope they have fun…If I finish my business earlier then I’ll make a detour and come” he says before continuing.
I smile even though he can’t see me. “I would love that”
“Shit, I already miss you, how’s that fucking possible when I just left yesterday?” He asks genuinely confused. Like he can’t figure it out.
“I don’t know” I giggle, something I’ve never done in my entire life. “But, I can’t wait for the catch up sex. Hot, sweaty and rough”
I hear him groan. “Damn it Red, I’m in a fucking meeting now is not the time to get rock hard”
“If it makes you feel better, I’m wet and I miss you, well your dick mostly”
“You know what, I’m just going to cut this conversation off for now. We’ll resume it when we’re both not preoccupied and we can have telepathic sex”
I laugh. “Okay Alpha mate, we’ll talk later”
“Let me know when you get there” he commands.
“Will do” When he cuts off the mindlink, I start carrying our bags down.
After that night we had sex in the car, we got home and he dragged me into his bedroom. We ended up having sex again before falling asleep in the early hours of the morning.
The next day he asked me to move back into his bedroom. I agreed, seeing no reason to sleep in separate bedrooms anymore. Besides, I preferred to being fucked to sleep and being woken up with his tongue between my legs, instead of waking up alone.
We didn’t amend the contract but we agreed on the sex. We couldn’t resist the pull between us and it was futile to try and do so. So why not just give each other what we both wanted?
I was carrying the last suitcase down when I heard a car outside. It must be Lilly.
The door opens and she walks in. “Are you ready for the best most unforgettable mini vacation”
I chuckle. “Definitely. This is going to be fun”
“Krystal! Jax! Come down, we’re about to leave” I shout their names.
It doesn’t take long before a door opens and they are rushing down stairs.
“Hi Auntie Lilly” they both say in unison.
Lilly steps forward and hugs them. Kissing their cheeks. “I’m fine now that my eyes have seen you both. I was missing something and now I realize it was a vitamin called Jax and Krystal”
They laugh like crazy at what she said.
“You’re so cheesy” Jax tells her, grinning from ear to ear.
“But you love me anyways don’t you?”
“One thing I have to warn you beforehand is that our pack is a little backwards. Any modern technology especially phones, tablets and tv’s are frowned upon. They rarely even get newspapers let alone magazines. I love my pack but I was glad when my mate turned out to be from a different pack. Their backwardness used to irritate me especially when I was in high school and everyone else had phones except for me” she huffs.
“You’re being serious right now? So there’s isn’t even Wi-Fi” Hunter asks
“There’s definitely no Wi-Fi. Except for electricity, it’s like we still live in the dark ages. Luke is trying to change things but he’s having a hard time convincing the pack, especially the older generation since it’s what they’re used to” she replies.
Wow, this was a lot to handle. I wish she had told me that before inviting us. Maybe I wouldn’t have agreed so easily. But then again, isn’t the whole idea of a vacation about relaxing? It wasn’t ideal but maybe we could make it work.
“That’s okay. We’ll make it work. Besides, there is the beach. What else do we need?”
I munch on some of the snacks as we continue to talk. For some reason the closer we got the more nervous I became. I pushed the feeling down and focused.
When we finally get to the pack, the smell of the oceans hits me and I breathe it in. It calms me. We park the car where Lilly directs us, near a huge Victorian mansion. Krystal and Jax who were now awake jump out of the car in excitement.
I get out and survey the compound. The houses I could see were all similar in a way. All of them looked like they were built in the Victorian era.
“Ren, could you please go and get someone to help Hunter will the luggages? My seat belt is jammed”
“Okay”
I turn and walk towards the house, with Krystal and Jax following behind me. I step on the porch and knock since there wasn’t a door bell.
I hear footsteps and the door swings open.
“Hi…” I begin but the woman's gasp interrupts me.
“Hailey?” she asks in shock right before her eyes roll to the back of her head and she collapses.
I stand there frozen and speechless
What. The. Hell. Just. Happened? And more importantly why did she call me Hailey?
