My Alpha's Heart Forever

Chapter 7 - Beach Front Party Edited

When he opens the door so I could get in, Damon and Nick rush out, Damon trying to stop me from leaving with him and Nick to see his newfound friend. Damon tried to grab my arm to pull me behind him. That didn't go over well with Jay. I didn't know it, but Jay had got a glimpse of the dark bruise on my arm from where Damon had grabbed me earlier. Which is why Jay looked like he was ready to beat Damon's face in for him!

"Damon, let me go. You have a girlfriend inside the house, go back to her. What I do is my business, now leave me alone," I told him as I twisted and jerking my arm out of his grasp. With all the commotion going on, the boys didn't see my grandfather come out.

My grandfather marched up to the boys and had some of his men split them up. "Now, what's the meaning of all this?" He demanded as the men split them up. "Shana's leaving with this no-account trash, "Damon told him.

Jay growled at him and would have put his hands on Damon if it hadn't been for my grandfather. "I may be a no-account trashy person, as you say. But I am not the one going around putting my hands on a woman, now am I?"

"Jay, what are you talking about? Asked my grandfather, Dean, if you raise her shirt sleeve, you will see she has marks on her arms." I went over to my grandfather after he called me, so he could inspect the marks on my arm.

"Damon, why are there marks on her like this? She was fine when she left the dining room this morning," asked my grandfather, looking from inspecting my arms. And he was furious. What? It's not like I hit her. I just grabbed her a little roughly. Damon, you can't put your hands on her. She isn't your wife, let alone your girlfriend. You know what? Get the hell out of here. You want to put your hands on her and try to stop her from seeing whoever she is with."

"But yet you never told her you are engaged to Raina, now did you? Life isn't a double standard. You can't be engaged with one person and try to control what another person does."

Now, mind you, the king isn't one to be stepping into the middle of some random argument. Unless it comes to his family, then it becomes his business.

Not everyone likes a woman abuser, no matter who the person is or where he comes from. In everyday society, we frown upon men who abuse women. And will put a man in prison or a grave, whichever comes first.

"Shana, why don't you and your friend take off? We will see you when you get back here later. Just be back before it gets too late. That's when all the trouble begins outside."

Jay's POV

I open the passenger side door as Shana slid in after everyone else went back in the house for the day. As we head out into the countryside, she hooks up her phone to my audio aux and plays fake love by BTS. She's dancing and singing along with the song, the way she moves is mesmerizing.

She's a little on the short side with her being 5ft 5in, but she's got the perfect figure, not too thin and too fat. Big-chested and Junk in the trunk to match, tanned with light blonde hair that's frosted blue on the tips.

Eyes so soft and clear like the deep blue Ocean ones I can gaze in all day. I can't believe he actually had the nerve to put his hands on her. As we grow from childhood to adulthood, the people we meet can end up being friends for a short while or for the rest of our lives. But what happens when that friend turns possessive and doesn't want you around anyone other than them? Even if they have a girlfriend or not, some friendships have ended because of that.

Driving down the winding road of the countryside, we sat in comfortable silence. Thinking about the past few hours. Shana leaned against the other door with hurt in her eyes. "Shana, don't let him get you upset like this. He's not worth it."

"Jay, we have been friends ever since we were little, and never once did I dream he would do that to me. I thought after seeing each other for the first time, after being away all these years, that everything would be fine, like when we were little."

"But he changed so much Damon couldn't be honest with me when he first saw me again. Sure, he gave me a hug when he first walked into the room, and later on that night, a hug here and kiss there happened. He told me I was his love forever."

"I felt a connection, a spark like he was the other half I was missing. Why couldn't he be honest and let me know he was already engaged and to the girl that hates my guts of people?"

"Look, Shana, I'm not trying to defend Damon, only telling you how I see it ok,? People change as they get older. What you thought of Damon then differs from what he became as he got older. He developed feelings over the years, and seeing you threw him on his ass, he never expected it. Plus, his heart is telling him you belong to him even though he is with someone else."

How Shana described when she first met Damon to how he reacted when he saw me come pick her up led me to believe he was her Mate. The least he can do is reject her.

That way Damon, spares her the heartache she will face when seeing him with another woman. She won't just see it, but she will feel it as well. The human heart can only take so much heartache before it breaks. And depression sets in.

The Lush green scenery of rolling hills and cascading waterfalls that go by as we drive down the road has a calming effect. Houses scattered miles apart make the outing worthwhile. "Where are we going for lunch, Jay?" I asked. As he looks over at me with a smirk on his face, "it's a surprise!" 40 minutes later, we pulled up to a private beach. Getting out of the car, we started walking through the low-cut green grass down to the sandy shore that stretches for miles. In the water, you can see the dolphins jumping out of the water playing tag in the water below the shoreline.

There were a few people already on the beach cooking and partying, having a grand time. "Jay, who are all these people?"

"They're my friends and family, Shana."

People turn around as we get closer to the group. Out of nowhere, a football came flying straight at Jay's face in no time. He had caught the ball. Scanning around to see where it came from. We spotted a couple of guys standing around pointing fingers at each other. "I should have figured it came from those idiots," I heard Jay murmur under his breath. He looks at the tallest of the group, "Mikey, you got to the count of 5 to run."

Mikey looks back at Jay with an evil grin on his face. "How about I tell your friend how you still sleep with a pink and silver teddy bear?" Jay takes one step towards Mikey, who takes off like the hounds of hell are at his heels. Seconds passed, and Jay had Mikey tackled on the ground, wrestling around. Mikey gets a few hits in. But Jay's bigger than he is. The next thing I knew, everybody heard a loud squeal as Jay straddled over Mikey's waist, tickling him.

"Jay, will you quit it? Keep that nasty stuff in your mouth, you spit on me, and you won't sleep tonight. I will superglue your eyelids open and duct tape your hands together with syrup all over your bed." Everyone laughed the entire time at the Foolery the boys have gotten into. "Is this a regular occurrence with the boys?" I asked one person around watching the game.

While standing there with a smile on my face, two females come over with drinks in their hands. "Hi, I'm Destiny, the girl with short rainbow-colored hair said. The girl standing next to me is Constance."

" Hi, I'm Shana," I said with a slight smile

"how do you know Jay?" She asked me.

I told them he had actually come with the man my grandparents sent to find me and bring me back here. "Sorry for asking. It's strange to see a new face around here. Jay rarely brings females to our cookout or other family functions. You're the first female to be at one."
