Ice Princess (Little Alpha Book 2)

Chapter 99

"Look what I did ZeeZee."  I watched them talking about the things she did with his gift.  I was troubled with everything that was happening here. He would glance up at from time to time until he couldn't stand it anymore.

He pulled me into my room.  "It really wasn't that much."

I ran my fingers down his arms.  "It's not that."

He looked over my face.  "Then..."

I looked at his chest.  "You're rarely happy here."

He pulled my chin up.  "What do you mean?"

I took a slow breath.  "When you're not here, it is rare for you not to be happy, but here... it seems every moment someone is making you upset.  Even during training you aren't as bothered as you are now."

He closed his eyes.  "It... it's not always like this."

I nodded.  "Just when I'm here."  He hesitated, but nodded.  "It shouldn't be that way."

He sighed and met my gaze.  "I know, but... since those two figured out you were back in my life they've gotten worse.  Before it was a little flirting, but now... they are going out of their way to throw themselves at me."

"A little flirting."

He pursed his lips.  "Completely one sided.  I never encouraged it, telling them the same things I do now."

I furrowed my brow.  "Then... they're delusional?"

He shrugged.  "I don't know.  Only one time have I ever kissed Brenda, I was drunk and it was before I met you."

I nodded.  "I know."

He blinked.  "How?"

I sighed.  "She was talking about it with some girl in class after she attacked me the first time.  I didn't pay it much mind, but I put two and two together."

He grimaced.  "Horrible mistake..."

I rolled my eyes.  "She enjoyed it."

He frowned.  "Can't say I remember much had some drinks, then Alastair was forcing me to go home."

I giggled.  "I can see that.  Was that your first kiss?"

He blushed.  "No."

I tilted my head.  "So... how many have you kissed?"

He sighed.  "Total?  7, maybe."

I smirked.  "And touched?"

He was getting redder.  "Define touch."

"You tell me."

He grimaced.  "Above the belt, 3.  Below, 2."

I nodded.  "Tasted?"

He closed his eyes.  "2."

I stroked his face.  "Sex?"

He met my gaze.  "Only you."

"Who was she?"

He pursed his lips.  "It was before we met."

I shrugged.  "Do I feel mad or upset about it?  It's just a question, you don't have to answer if you don't want to."

He though for a moment.  "It was a senior, during my first Season.  It was a one night thing."

I nodded.  "Okay."

He narrowed his eyes.  "How about you?"

Mine rolled.  "I don't like people or to be touched.  Just you on all counts."

He smiled.  "It shouldn't because it makes me a dick, but it makes me happy to know that."

I chuckled.  "Took you long enough not to get your ass kicked... but I think I should keep my distance from here."  He frowned and I put a finger over his lips.  "Discord within your pack will only lead to more problems.  I'm not saying distance from you, I have a whole territory where you can actually enjoy yourself."

He sighed.  "Just until we get all this straight, I suppose."

I nodded.  "Which is why... I'm leaving after dinner tomorrow."

His eyes widened.  "I-"

I shook my head.  "You need to be here.  One day will not kill us."

He clenched his jaw.  "Yeah, I hear you.  Not gonna say I like it."

I kissed him softly.  "I know."

He hugged me.  "I don't know why they are like this..."

I closed my eyes.  "I couldn't tell you, I'm a broken wolf after all."

He chuckled.  "That's not true."

I pursed my lips.  "You are clearly delusional."

"No... you are strong... independent... ruthless... bloodthirsty...stubborn... beautiful... but not broken."  He kissed me at every pause pushing me towards the bed.

My chest was full as I tried to catch my breath and I fell back.  "We can't."

He kissed my neck before nuzzling it.  "We won't, but we have a few hours before we leave."

I bit my lip as his hands set my body on fire.  "To go..."

His lips curled against my shoulder.  "I'm not telling, but you will be changing out of these."

I whimpered as he started to knead my breasts.  "Ezekiel..."

He sighed.  "Change first, then we'll spend time with Zoey."

I huffed in frustration as he got up.  "I hate you."

He chuckled as he left.  "Of course you do."

When Xavier got back from hanging around with his friends, Ezekiel forced me into the car and I frowned as we were nearing the border.  "Where are you taking me?"

He laced his fingers through mine.  "Trust me."  I pursed my lips, but stayed silent as I looked at the sky.  "It calms you... looking at the moon."

I glanced over at him.  "It always has... even before..."

He brushed his lips over my hand.  "I know."

He pulled up to a restaurant and I glared at him.  "I never agreed to this."

He chuckled.  "I know."  I struggled with the door already knowing it was child locked, specifically so he could open it for me.  "One day... that will be unnecessary."

I glanced at the people going in.  "I wanna go back."

He searched my face.  "Are you really afraid of a date?"

I frowned.  "Never been on one."

He pulled me close and kissed my cheek.  "Violet?"  I peeked up at him.  "Can I take you on a date tonight?"

I scoffed.  "Do I have a fucking choice?"

He captured my lips.  "Nope."

I sighed in defeat.  "Fine..."

***

I knew I was taking a risk after convincing Violet to let Xavier take care of their sister.  She began to get suspicious as we neared the border, but reluctantly said nothing.  I knew when she started to lose connection with her sister as she stared at the moon.

I still couldn't figure out what answers she and my Beta managed to find up there.  I squeezed her hand to reassure and received a glare.  I didn't know what her affliction was with dating, but it gave me a chance to be away from both packs and learn more about her.

When we pulled up her eyes where everywhere, even as she purposely tried to open her door. She knew it was pointless, but always liked to be defiant or independent, if you ask her.  I could feel the tension in her muscles and it worried me.  This was going to be difficult, but I'd make it count... for both of us.
