Julia

Being next to Alpha Xander was something different, I mean— He was handsome and sexy as hell for sure. But his look was too scary, not as someone could make me pee in my pants. But as one his look could melt the ice and could swoon any she-wolf or woman on earth down to his feet begging him to date him or touch him. Yes, he has a strong affection for me. I have to be honest with myself.

He was different, and I  had heard a lot about him, and I wondered when I would have this chance to meet him in person. The last word of what he has said 'it's fate' was repeatedly scrolling down in my mind. I wondered what he meant by those. I have tried to convince myself that his word was about   Tamara and John's situation, but I figured out his word was totally for me.

 I was smart, but I couldn't let hopes stuck in my mind or daydreaming about Alpha because he was sexy and because he was a successful businessman not only next to Alpha.  Also, rumors say that 'he's Alpha with a stone heart.'

I snapped to myself a few times to come back from my lusty thoughts. Xander didn't say where we were going, and I wanted at least to be informed about our destination. Okay, I tried to open any conversation with him, to be honest. I wanted to know more about him, and he was acting weirdly since we got in the limo. Not so weird, but rude actually.

He was checking something on his laptop and tablet at the same time. I guessed he was busy with work. But hello some aliens were sitting next to you for god sake. We would love to hear your sexy voice. I suppressed a light chuckle.

Out of the blue, I yawned lazily and stared at Xander, "But where are we going?" I stretched my arms.

He blurted out still letting his eyes glued to his laptop "A nice place, to one of our resorts, beach, and the sun and romantic party nights," Xander informed me; he didn't look at me at all which made me so annoyed. No one ever did that before, and I mean by no one was seriously no one neglected me and my eyes even women.

I didn't know why he looked so bothered like that, all the time in our way he was doing something on his tablet or his laptop over and over again. I knew that he was too busy doing his work. But come on we were going to a resort. We should have fun, and It was a vacation. Even John and Tamara were whispering babbling.

I knew that both of them hated meeting each other and they refused that arranged mating, but despite that, they were having more fun than Xander and me. I wondered about his sexual interest?! What? Why? I don't know.

I shrugged my shoulders and tried to look away, faking a hidden frown "Um, okay." I rolled my eyes, and I spun my head, looking out of my window.

"Okay, what?" Xander narrowed his eyes and placed his laptop away from him and glared at me.

I raised my brows and blurted out "Boring!" I huffed crossings my arms over my chest.

"What?!" Xander furrowed his eyebrows. Okay, I could see the anger in his eyelids.

I pouted, "You - Are -Very - Boring person," I stressed on every word coming out of my mouth. I stuck my tongue out of the mouth, teasing him.

Xander rubbed his chin.

 He didn't look at me at all. That's it! No reactions at all! This vacation will be so dull! I guess he was like I had heard about him.

"Then rumors about you are correct," I smirked sheepishly. If he has no intentions to talk with me, then I will grab the words from his mouth by my way.

"What rumors?!" suddenly Xander hollered. What a freak?! From zero blank expressions to a loud shout and angry looks. I guess he was not as calm as he acted.

I startled and hopped off my seat a bit "Shit! Don't yell at me! You scared me! Everyone used to say that you are a heartless person. A man who knows nothing about the meaning of life or love and all you care about is just money," I leaned my head to the back away from him.

Xander narrowed his eyes and heaved "Okay! That's true. I don't know how to enjoy life! But I heard that you loved the money and the spotlights! Acting like a superstar in front of everyone." Xander mocked and Threw me with a demonic grin. What? He wants to play cat and mouse games with me now? He thinks himself a smart-ass person, and he could win with that? Hell no. He knows nothing about my mind games; he knows nothing about me at all.

I raised an eyebrow and shot him with a grave gaze, at least I tried "Okay, now I'm annoyed! I love the money because with the money I can enjoy every minute of my life! That's it. And I don't like to be under the spotlights! I'm a popular person; every one of my friends likes me, so It's not a crime to be famous, I guess." I winked, but I was boiling actually. But I didn't want to start a quarrel with him; I was there for a strict mission— To make Tamara and John accept that marriage and Don't kill each other or run away.

As much as I thought I did agree with that marriage as much as I hated to believe that Xander would be part of the family forever, all of us should deal with him forever. But anyway, there was no coming back because at least I should know how to deal with him as my partner because sooner or later I will have to manage our partnership because I will be working with him as soon as The next female Alpha of my pack and I would manage my father's business. I guess I was stuck with that rude Alpha forever.

"I see we arrived." Xander nodded, then he opened the door, and all of us followed him. What the hell with that man? I felt pity for the girl that will be his luna; I guess my sister Tamara was lucky for not marrying Xander. I do like John. John looks somehow like me, funny with a sense of humor. He was a sarcastic person who keeps smiling all the time, at least he won't get old so soon.

I cupped Tamara's face in my hand and Whispered "Tamara. You are so lucky because you are not going to marry Xander." Tamara gasped. And John laughed hysterically. John mouthed mutely, 'I told her so' I chuckled at what he had said.

But the monster started eyeballing me, "Don't make fun of me." Xander hooted.

"Wow, this guy can hear from far away!" I mocked Teasing Xander neglecting his loud voice; shouting was not working with me; he should learn how to treat me and the others respectfully, I was not his slave for god sake.

Xander strolled in front of us. And Tamara and John and I followed him talking and laughing. Then Xander paused and Spun his body to us. "The resort is full. Something wrong happened on the reservation." Xander informed us, and I gasped— Yes, they do own this resort, and they prepared for this vacation day ago, so why was he saying it's full now? After hours of sitting next to him, was he even serious or he just wanted to punish us?!

And I dropped my jaw "What do you mean?" Seriously, I needed a firm explanation. He can't do this to me. Now I feel sorry for coming with my sister, but at least she couldn't survive alone with that monster Alpha without me.

"I mean that there are only three rooms available," Xander narrowed his eyebrows. 'What? Why? Okay. He could share a room with his brother, or I could share a room with my sister, so I can't see where's the problem?!'

"That's okay; I will stay with my sister, we used to." I was going to say something, but Xander cut me off arrogantly, shushing me like a flying insect. I hated his rude way. I wanted to punch his nose, but my fist would bleed for sure, and if he hit me back, then I would be dead.

"No, Tamara's room is small. So she will stay in her room alone, and John will take the other room." Tamara rolled her eyes in curiosity, but she sighed in relief, yeah, she liked to sleep half-naked I knew that, but now where should I go? Sleep in the lobby? Or on the pool? Because they might rape the hell off my sexy body on the pool one after one. Yeah, my self-esteem was so high, but at least I was not egotistic like that  Xander.

"And me?" I opened my mouth, glaring at Xander and gesturing with my hand to my face.

He pointed his finger to my nose, "And you will stay with me, it's my royal suite. So it's huge," Xander informed me, and he just walked away, waving his hands to follow him. Okay, now I'm annoyed and worried, Why me? I mean, why not his brother?!

We walked on the beach for a while, but not on the first line. It was cold, and I could feel the light breeze ruffling my long hair. It wasn't that kind of room. It was like a cottage, but a small one. Xander halted and twirled his body again, gesturing to John and handing him a key "John; this is your room, go change your clothes we are going to the beach. There's a party, and we will have our lunch, 10 minutes and I will come for you." Xander commanded John, and he nodded. From what I have noticed Xander always commands and John accepts silently, John didn't look like a weak wolf with a kinky personality to me, I knew he looked so well raised and a polite person, but that wasn't the real point of him accepting Xander commands—

Xander was scary, and his stern tone could make anyone accept what he says without thinking twice. But not me— I won't surrender. Just for now because I'm not aiming to sleep on the beach naked or wet!

A few steps later and Xander opened the door for Tamara and handed her the key to her room "Okay, Tamara this is your room, after 10 minutes, I will—." Xander was telling Tamara, but she cut him off with a light giggle "You will come to me," Tamara saluted Xander with a smirking grin as she was taking orders from a warrior.

Yeah, he looked like a warrior or police officer and not a normal one actually but as FBI or CIA. I chuckled at Tamara words and Xander gaped at me with fuming glare that made my mouth shut.

Xander dragged me, And we walked for a couple of minutes until we reached a small villa on the beach. First-line and it was wow, nothing like John or Tamara, but that was still scary for me and made my heartbeats drumming. He opened the door.

 I followed him, hesitated, "Um, is this the royal suite?!" I didn't know what to say, or what to call this? I have never been there, and that resort was designed weirdly.

"Yes, I told you, "Xander raised his brows and said to me as if it was normal. If he said those words before, for god sake, I could count the words he had said to me on my fingers!

I stepped inside, looking around, amused, "How many rooms here?" I asked him in curiosity because it was too huge.

"About five rooms, I guess." Xander dropped his words innocently as if he threw me with iced water.

I shake my head dumbfounded "What? Then why didn't you make Tamara and John stay here with us?" I gasped.

He stepped tighter from me, narrowing his eyebrows, I stepped back as a normal reaction to my body hit the door. He smirked deviously then he leaned his face close from me "Why? Are you afraid of me?" he huskily whispered, making my heart flutter. But his voice made me shiver; I can smell his cologne, I could feel his warm breath. I could hear his heartbeats. What was going on here? Seriously, I needed to go to Tamara. I should run away at that point. His facial expressions were unreadable.

I cleared my throat, and Then I slipped my body away from him "No, surely not, it's just weird, so you have to give me a reason." I reclaimed myself and faked that I was okay and that he didn't affect me sensually at all.

He licked his lips seductively and blurted out, "Because I like to sleep naked, so Tamara can't sleep here, and. John has to be next to her. That's it. Besides, it's a resort, not a hotel. So practically their rooms on the beach too, but just not on the first line— That's it." He explained innocently as it was reasonable that he sleeps naked! Naked??! He sleeps, nakedly! The words repeated in my mind as drums. Or maybe my heart was hammering like drums. I couldn't figure out because I was lost in my conclusion and my evil thoughts.

For a second, it came to my mind that I wasn't here for Tamara and John. That I was here for Xander and me and that was only a plan from our fathers. But I pushed that idea away from my brain because my father was sure I have no interest in being mated without love.

I cleared my throat and trembled, "Okay, what room do you suggest to me?" I diverted the subject.

"The same room as me! It's huge!" Xander winked. Okay, now, I'm distraught and scared. Why does he keep teasing me like that?

"Don't make fun of me; just pick one for me." I chuckled lightly.

"I'm not kidding! You will sleep in my room! That's it." Xander furrowed his eyebrows and said to me in a stern tone.

"Why?" I dropped my jaw.

"Because, um, I—" Xander stammered. I stared back at him. But he didn't continue so I didn't want to make a fuzz about this situation anymore and I was already exhausted, and I was sure he wouldn't rape me or something.

I shrugged my shoulders and sighed in surrender "Okay, I guess you have your reasons, maybe there's a ghost in other rooms, but promise me that you won't sleep naked," I chuckled, and I walked to the room to change my clothes. He was peeking at me; I don't know why. So I unpacked my bag and grabbed my clothes.

I walked to the washroom that wasn't so far from the room. There was another one inside, but I thought I could leave that one to Xander to use it. I took a quick shower, it wasn't that fast, but according to how long it takes for me to rub my whole body and wax then it was too fast. It took only fifteen minutes to finish and comb my long hair. After a few minutes, I strolled out of the shower room and walked back to Xander— He was ready and waiting for me. Well, too manly and a fast showered person always could make my heart drop in between my legs. 'Dirty thoughts— But it was true.'

"Okay, Are you ready?" I chuckled. Making my effort to do, not check out his sexy body and his muscles that popped out of his strong arms. 'Oh, I wish those arms could hold me.' God, what I was thinking?! I snapped to myself.

"Yes," Xander nodded.

I couldn't control my tongue. The words slip out of instability "What the hell?! You look., Um, handsome in casual clothes too!" He was peeking at me; I don't know why. But I controlled myself, and I ran my fingers through my hair "Okay, let's go find the groom and the bride." I turned my body to get out, but his words froze me in my place.

"You look so gorgeous when you smile, your dimples are a killer," Xander threw his words and walked in front of me as if a ghost said those words to me. I blushed and smiled lightly in disapproval of what I felt towards him.
