Sapphire's P.O.V
"Aren't you hungry?" Clover turned her head to me, her gaze momentarily flicking to the plate of sweet
goods. Georgia had been in a baking mood earlier and decided to make some brownies for everyone.
"No, I'm not hungry." I forced out a smile. "It's not everyday you get to eat Georgia's specialty." Clover
said and stuffed her mouth with another piece of chocolaty sweetness. I opened my mouth to reply but
Clover placed a small piece into my mouth. Rich chocolaty taste filled my mouth. I felt bile rise in my
throat. "Umm... yum..." I forced out. "I told you that it was good." Clover said smugly and faced back to
the 12 inch plasma tv in front of us. "I'm going to the bathroom for a while." I stood up and rushed
towards the nearest bathroom when I was out of Clover's sight.
I threw up as soon as I reached the toilet bowl. "Just in time." I muttered to myself. I spat out the mouth
wash in the sink and went back to the living room.
I plopped myself back onto the couch beside Clover, hiding the proof that I had threw up a few minutes
ago. She turned to me and I tensed, hoping that she hadn't notice.
"So... You know, is the Alpha rude to you are something?" She asked curiously. I furrowed my
eyebrows in confusion. "Since he's the Alpha and stuff." She added helpfully. "Oh." I realized what she
was talking about. She nodded and brushed the brownie crumbs off her lap as she waited for an
answer. "Nope. Not really. Also, I wouldn't stand any of that shit if he did." I shrugged. "Good. At least
your mate is treating you right." She sighed and gave me a little smile. "Oh Clover..." I trailed. "Don't
give me any of those pity shit. I don't want pity." She held up a hand and I smiled. This is one of the
things I like about her. "I just want to say that he is an ass for not realizing what a great mate you would
make." I smiled reassuringly at her. "Mate? What am I? His booty call?" She asked in mock
astonishment. I rolled my eyes at her. We both turned back to the playing movie that had been long
forgotten.
"The Alpha needs a girl like you. He's really lucky." Clover murmured. "Oh." I answered. "Since he had
a bad childhood. He needs a person who would stay by his side and tend his wounds." She turned to
me briefly and then her gaze was back on the tv. Yeah, a person like me. A person who's going to
leave soon, my mind echoed sarcastically. "Oh, yeah." I choked out. Gwen fidgeted at the
uncomfortable feeling that the topic gave her. Drew being Drew, stayed quiet and kept her cool, but I
knew that she was feeling guilty.
"Things changed for the good since you came." She added softly. "Why?" I raised an eyebrow in
question. "Well, the Alpha has been on a great mood, I have a new and awesome friend and Jenny got
put to her place." Clover grinned at me. "Jenny? Oh, Jennifer." I nodded. "Seriously though, the girl is
an exact definition of a slut and an attention whore." Clover rolled her eyes.
"Yeah, she is." A voice whispered beside my ear, warm breath fanned my ear. Out of reflexes, I
grabbed the persons arm as I back flipped from the couch, demon power coursing in my veins from the
sudden scare. I almost managed to flip him but my opponent was quick and twirl me around. Before I
knew it, my face was pressed down on a body.
Muffled laughter escaped through Clover's hands and her eyes twinkled in amusement.
That's when my brain processed the familiarity of the until scent, mint and cinnamon. I lifted my head
and widened my eyes in surprise as my blue eyes met a pair of grey ones.
"Where did you learn to fight like that?" He groaned. "Sorry." I smiled sheepishly. "It hurts like hell. How
are you so strong?" Ryder grumbled. "It's not my fault you scared me. Just remember, do not ever
scare me like that." I retorted, a little panicky at the fact that he realized my sudden strength. "I don't
think that it's possible." He grinned and gave me a peck on the lips. I grumbled and stood up, dusting
the high waisted shorts I was wearing.
"Ok. What is the report about you kneading Lawrence's balls?" He stood up after me with an eyebrow
raised as he gave me a pointed look. I glanced at Clover. She had a small smile on her face.
"Umm... A little warning about...umm...not hurting my friend?" I grinned sheepishly. He sighed in mock
disappointment. I chuckled as Clover laughed lightly.
Yes haters, my life's perfect right now. Eat that.
