Amber:


I am losing my composure.

This man affects me like anything I open up too much to him.If earlier Nicholas wouldn't have been present in the room I might have ended up telling my life story to him.A secret that's been well preserved for so long only Zander and Beth knew what had happened four years ago and I was dead scared to reveal it to anyone else and surely not to an arrogant pervert like Zachery.Like it's not like I knew him personally but that's what everyone said.But Zach seemed to affect me more than anyone around his screams hurt more than Zander's and I don't know why I even agreed to take them in around like there is nothing in Iwar except for infinite beach on one side and the forest on the other.I was forced out of my string of thoughts by a knock at my door Ash took there with his frame perfectly leaning on the door 

"I heard you assigned yourself to take us on a tour", he smirked

"Come on it wasn't like I had an option I don't want to lose my job"

"Hmmm I see okay come down in 5 we are waiting," he said and turned to leave but stopped, " And you see I had Nic's and my girlfriend come over you know just to make you comfortable"

"Should I thank you for it?"I laughed,He smiled and left.

This surely made me feel better that I had female company and as I was making it to the exit a thought struck me ,"Are you happy because you have a female company or you're happy because Zach doesn't have a girlfriend or at least didn't call her over"

Argh, what was I even thinking and why was I thinking all this?

I ignored the thought and walked over to the exit there I was greeted by five enthusiastic faces.Nic introduced me to Stella and Claire, Stella had strawberry blonde hair and grey eyes and looked angelic whereas Claire resembled the male version of Nic with the same blue eyes and golden blonde hair.So we made our ways to my favourite diner, this was the place Zander brought me the night he approximately saved my life.Everyone had their specific choices of burger except for Mr. black-haired green-eyed Greek God Zach who didn't know what to order and looked at me with puppy eyes.I couldn't help but melt yet I tried my best to hide it and told him to try these Overload Chicken cheeseburger cause that was my all-time favourite.Once done with the food we went to the beachside to Sandy's Ice Cream Parlour to get ice-creams and the love birds left to stroll on the beach leaving behind me, Mr. CEO and awkwardness."I ... I ..Ummm I am sorry", he mumbled


Zach:

"I ... I ..Ummm I am sorry", is all that came out from my stupid mouth.

She gasped "I thought you never apologised like it isn't necessary for you to like you're the boss right?"

"I usually don't but I shouldn't have shouted at you", had it been anyone else in place of her I would never have apologised but it was herEvery inch of my body wanted to be with her no matter what I had to do for it.

"Hey hey", I saw her waving in front of my eyes

"Yes ", I said as politely as possible

"Want to take a round of the beach before leaving. You see it's a full moon and the beach looking stunning this time. Oh and I know a perfect place you will fall in love with the beach. Come along " she said pulling my arms with both her hands.Sparks ignited through my nerves Ray was dancing in my head.


Amber:


As soon as I started pulling his arms to take him to my favourite place along the coastline it seemed electricity passed through my skin

"I'm sorry I am again being over-friendly", I muttered out my voice was laced with guilt

"Hey it's ok, See we are not in the office and even if we are we can always be friends right?", he said thrusting out his hand for a handshake.

"Friends right that sounds good", I shook his hand with a grin on my face and the electricity was back as soon as our hands touched.

"Ok now come along I'll show you the best place around here", I said taking my hand back and thus bring him out of his dream.


Zach:


"Friend Great", commented Ray with sarcasm in his voice

"What am I supposed to do with a mate being her friend ask her to be your girlfriend at least"

"Ray shut up it's too early I don't want her to feel like am some kind of a jerk"

"Well that's what the world thinks of you, Mr. Zachery Mathew Collins"


"Ok now come along I'll show you the best place around here", I was brought out of my conversation with Ray by her angelic voice."

You know when I first came here this was the place I used to come to, to calm myself and I think you need a lot of this view as it helps to put down anger issues"

"Wait you haven't been born and brought up here?", I was surprised like I knew she wasn't Zander's own sister but she didn't belong here, I needed to know where she was from I needed to know why she left that place I needed to know who she is why is she here I need to know every bit about her I deserved to know everything about her.

She is my mate."Well the answer to your question is no. Neither am I born here nor am I brought up here but we can discuss it sometime later it's not always a full moon with this view you get for now why don't we just breathe." 

Her voice had a command in it, it said more than the mate bond I was bound to follow her even when I am an alpha it was as if someone of the same status was speaking to me.
