Nicole is broken. She puts on a mask that convinces the world she is happy when in reality; she's done with life. She doesn't care. Replaces pain with more pain. When Ryce, the alpha of the Blood Moon pack finds out she's his mate, can he fix her? O...
I wake up to see we had arrived in Panama. "Good morning baby" Ryce says and I hum in response before climbing over so I strattles him. I suddenly drop my head to his chest and lay there. "I'm tired." I tell him and he chuckles.
"Cmon babe, let's go check in at the condos." Ryce says and I groan before covering my face with a pillow. He mutters something before the room goes quiet. I relax into the cloud that I call our bed.
I hear the water start running in the huge bathroom and cuddle with a pillow, happy he left me alone.
Just as I'm about to doze off, I feel myself being lifted in the air. My eyes snap open but I see It was only Ryce so I close my eyes once again.
"Babe you wanna get dressed?" He asks and I groan shaking my head no. He sighs before I'm thrown out of his arms. Just as I go to open my eyes, my body is engulfed in water. My eyes pop open and I inhale a huge amount of water. The ice cold water stung my nose and I tried to get out. I throw the my body over the side of the tub, shivering and teeth chattering.
"RYCE!" I scream and wrap a towel around me.
"What....." He says nonchalantly.
"FRACKLE YOU!" I yell, and splash water on him.
He walks out, and shuts the door behind him. I drain the water, and turn on the shower. After turning the shower on to a fairly hot temperature, I do my business. My shampoo smells so good- like happiness wrapped in rainbows, covered in giggles. Wow, that was way too much happiness for me. I turn off the water, and hear my phone go ding ding ding.
I giggle to myself and answer the phone.
"It's Nicki."
"Nicki!! Come on!! Our condo has a pool, we're having a pool party!!" Taylor's voice rings through the phone.
Hell yes!
"On my way!!" I say into the phone and rush to put on my bikini.

I literally run to main deck after grabbing my towel and jump on Ryce who is in some black swim shorts.
"Hey baby." I say to him and hug him. He picks me up and spins me around, making me laugh. He kisses me smack on the lips and pulls away with a huge smile on his face.
He sets me down and I grab my banana boat sunscreen, lathering my arms and face, some on my chest, and a tad bit on my stomach. "Can you get my back babe?" I ask Ryce and he nods before putting some on my back.
"HURRY UP NICKI!!" Taylor says from inside the pool and Ryce tells me he is done. I run and jump into the pool, right next to Taylor so it splashes everywhere.
"Let's play basketball!" Kai says and we all nod before grabbing the basketball and choosing the teams, consisting of Kai, Taylor, Aidan, and Layla against Ryce, Xavier, Grace, and myself.
"Nyce team first!" Taylor says quickly.
"Nyce?"
"Nicole and Ryce- Nyce." She says.
"Ok then...." I take the ball and throw it to Xavier and he passes it to Ryce, who passes it back to me and I launch it at Grace so she scores. Yes!
They pass the ball back to me and I check the ball before passing straight to Xavier so he can dunk.
They pass it back to me and I swim forward, jump up and barely miss the goal. Crap. Kai grabs the ball and throws it back to Aidan who throws to Taylor. I jump on her because there is NO RULES. She claws at me and my wrist began to hurt. It was probably just the new cuts. I get back to playing before Kai stops the game.
He sniffs the air.
"Is someone.... Bleeding?" He asks and I realize part of the pool had a blob of blood.
