Chapter 21
I think I have a weird form of writers block. I know what I want to happen but I'm having a hard time writing it...
Because of this I'm sorry if the next update takes a little time.
Again thanks for all the love :)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Thank God we’re home. I’m so tired of hearing V rub it in that he was right about dinner. How was I supposed to know that alphas don’t play nice? Oh well, lesson learned, kinda.
I told Alexandra good night as I made my way up to our massive closet. What was I going to pack? I whined to myself before I felt V’s presence.
“What?”
He just shrugged as he walked over to the rack that held the towels. He grabbed one and walked back out of the room to probably take a shower. When I heard the water turn on, I knew I was right. He never takes baths for some reason.
Back to clothes. It’s April so it’s chilly with a little rain here and there. Thinking of what the weather will be like I start to look through all the clothes to find clothes that will work.
V walked back into the room and I almost dropped everything in my hand. I don’t think I will ever get used to him without a shirt but I couldn’t help but look at his hair. It was still wet and messy. All I wanted was to run my hands through it but I really need to get a grip on myself. Packing!
“When is the last time you trained?”
“Not since I’ve moved here. Why?” It seemed like a very random question to bring up.
“You’re just the squishiest beta I’ve ever met.”
I threw one of the shirts I had in my hand at him. Was that his way of saying that I was fat? Ugh he really knows how to irritate me.
“I’m not fat!”
“Stop being dramatic. I said you were squishy. Not fat. You’re soft. That better?” Not really. Now he’s saying I’m weak.
“Whatever.” I throw my clothes down and walk out of the closet. I throw myself onto the bed and bury my face into the pillow.
He didn’t have to follow me, but of course he did. I sat up to yell at him but quickly stop when I come face to face with him just mere inches away.
“Don’t be a brat.”
I stuck out my tongue while he rolled his eyes before he walked back to get his clothes. I crossed my arms as I fell back onto the bed.
There was so much I wanted to ask my uncle when I got to Hungary but where do I even begin? Was V going to come with me to meet my family or would he just drop me off and meet with his father alone?
When V walked back in he motioned for me to scoot over. “Off my side.”
He really is picky about what side he sleeps on, and he calls me a brat. I quickly rolled over allowing him to climb into the bed before he turned off the light.
“V.”
He turned his head towards me and I sighed. “Are you going to meet my uncle and cousin when we go to Hungary?”
“I’m not dropping you off with people I don’t know.”
He makes it sound like they aren’t my family.
“So you’re dropping me off before you meet your dad.” He seemed to stiffen at my question and I knew I was treading on waters that were off limits.
“It’s better if you don’t meet my father. I’m going to settle the issue then coming straight back to you, understand?”
I nodded and wrapped my arms around his waist. My head barely resting near his chest as I laid next to him. “You’re too short beta.”
“Ugh!” I push away from him and face towards the wall to go to sleep. He ruins everything.
I woke up in the back of V’s car next to Alexandra.
“Hey. Looks who’s finally up.”
I yawned and stretched before I hit her arm. I looked to the front to see V driving while Brett was riding shot gun.
“Why didn’t you wake me up?”
“You were sleeping.” I was taken aback by his tone. He hasn’t used his clipped tone on me in a while.
“I wanted to check on Dante before we left.”
“He’s fine.” Seriously what crawled up his butt today? He was being a jerk.
In the airport I started to stretch a little to try and wake myself up. I had just gone into a deep lunge when I felt someone lift me off the ground.
V didn’t say a word as he threw me over his shoulder and walked to security. “Put me down.” He dropped me to my feet as I glared at him.
“Go.” He motioned for me to move forward with his head.
I went into the security line and waited until I was up next. Off with the shoes, jacket, and belt. I didn’t bring a carry-on bag since I don’t like to deal with the hassle.
I walked through with no problem but was selected to get an additional pat down. How was I so lucky?
“She needs a female to pat her down.” I smirked to myself. He might be acting like a jerk at the moment, but he’s still over protective.
The female TSA agent gave me another pat down before I joined the rest of the group to go to our boarding gate.
“I’m going to go find a plug to charge my phone.” I quickly jumped up to join her. “I’ll come with you.”
I noticed as everyone looked at me questioningly but chose to ignore it. Brett and Alexandra should know why I was going with her.
She plugged up her phone and quickly turned her attention to me. “What did you do?”
“Nothing. He’s just being V again.”
She stroked her chin as if she was thinking about something before her mood dropped.
“What?”
“I’m not the one you should ask advice from. My mate doesn’t want me.”
I sighed as I placed my head on her shoulder. I guess me and Mason had something in common. “I didn’t want V either. Now look at me.” I couldn’t help but laugh as I saw Alexandra pull out her signature smirk.
“Good point. But…” She trailed off and I realized I never told her about our history. “We never dated. He was my best friend. I kinda had a crush on him but him getting a girl pregnant kind of ruined it.”
She just nodded her head. She had to be his mate because she didn’t seem to care about the baby. I on the other hand freaked.
“Do you think V has kids?”
I sure hope he doesn’t. I still have so much to learn about him. How old is he? What’s his last name? Is his name actually V? There is so much I don’t know about him, yet I live with him.
“To be honest I know almost nothing about him. Like I still don’t know how old he is. I do know that he was with other girls before me and that’s only because we fought about it.”
Again with the nodding. This wasn’t the time I wanted to have someone listen. I needed advice, help if you will. After they called our flight for boarding, I knew that I wouldn’t be getting any help now.
I sighed as I got up to head to our boarding gate. I never flew first class so I had no idea what to expect. It was a sight to see our group of gigantic men filing to get on the plane. The flight attendant couldn’t seem to form a sentence as she tried to help us to our seats.
I beamed at the sight of my seat or pod. Whichever one they said it was. There was a TV in my area and the seat could lay flat to turn into a bed. That would come in handy after each meal. I don’t know why but after I eat I get extremely sleepy on flights.
Alexandra sat across the aisle from me while V sat in the pod right next to me. I stood on my chair to look over into his pod to watch as he maneuvered to get comfortable since he was huge. I laughed before he looked up at me. I quickly dropped back down into my seat as we watched the safety video.
After take-off I looked through all the videos to see what I would watch to keep me entertain. Feeling the chills that only V brought I looked up to see him looking down at me. I smiled sheepishly. He motioned for me to come closer with his finger and I knew for sure I was in trouble.
When I got up he quickly picked me up and brought me over to his pod. I squeaked in surprise until he covered my mouth and sat back with me on his lap.
“Calm now?” I nodded my head since he still had his hand over my mouth.
He slowly pulled his hand away and I just looked at him.
“I heard you talking to Alexandra.” He quickly put his hand over my mouth again as I tried to say something. “Just let me talk.” I groaned but nodded my head again.
“I might be closed off to you and I might even be a jerk to you, but that doesn’t mean that it’s because of you. I’m telling you this now because I’m sure I’m going to be pissed off this whole trip. Just know it probably isn’t your fault.”
“What do you mean probably?”
“You do irritate me sometimes. But I’m sure it’s just because your 15.”
“Y-“ He covered my mouth again while shushing me. “You talk too much.” I bit his palm and he just grinned at me.
“Feisty much?” He smiled as I slapped his stomach. “I’m 24.” I know I looked surprised because it came out of nowhere.
“You told Alexandra you didn’t know how old I was. I’m 24 and I don’t have pups.” Hearing him say that made me lay on his chest out of sheer relief. I didn’t want him to have children with anyone else.
The ride to my families house was uneventful. However, when we turned into the driveway my heart started to beat furiously. I was terrified at how this would go. V didn’t exactly play nice with my dad and I was hoping we wouldn’t have a repeat of the situation.
Getting out of the car, I sighed as I walked up to the front door. I didn’t even get to knock before Aria flung the door open and pulled me into a hug.
“Oh I missed you so much! How long are you here for?”
“A week.” She looked up at V and instantly put up her guard.
She was looking between the two of us as Derrick and my uncle Darrius made their way out to greet me as well.
“How are you princess?”
“Uncle D…” He just laughed as he held me in a tight hug a little too long for V’s happiness.
He gave off a warning growl getting the attention of my uncle and cousin. I’m pretty sure now would be a good time to introduce them.
“V.”
“Derrick.”
Now I was the one confused. I looked between them, waiting to see who would give me an explanation as to how they knew each other, but no one did.
I walked over to V and held out my hand hoping he would grab it to let me know. I smirked to myself when he clasped our hands together and he let me into his thoughts.
So our clans were the two biggest in Europe. They didn’t hate each other but they didn’t exactly trust each other. I think I could work with that.
“I have to go. Don’t do anything that would piss me off.” I rolled my eyes as he leaned down and gave me a quick kiss on the forehead. He had to be joking.
I whined a little and he just groaned as he took a step back to give me a quick peck on the lips. I smirked at my small victory as I waved to Brett who stayed in the car. I hooked my arm with Alexandra's before I started to pull her.
“Do I even want to know?” I just ignored Derrick as I continuted to dragged Alexandra to the front door. “This is my warrior/bestfriend Alexandra.” She gave a shy wave before we all made our way into the house.
Finally know V's age. One secret down, who knows how many to go. There is totally going to be girl time in the next chapter. Also in V's POV we will meet his family and a little of Brett's as well. Let me know what you think of the chapter :)
