Joy’s POV
“You saw him ?”, my Beta, Dante asked as he placed his tray on the cafeteria table and took a seat opposite to me, but not before pecking my lips.
Sigh !
He was the perfect Beta and, boyfriend.
Yeah, boyfriend.
We were in an open relationship and frankly, he was more of the player who was just passing time till he found his mate, while I did this to rebel against my family and pack members so that they stopped badgering me with the mind f*****g title of ‘nerd’.
It sounds petty but after a point it is infuriating, especially when you are termed, branded and stereotyped as one all your life.
So what was better than to date my own best friend and shock them all !
However, that manwhore of my Beta still needed someone to settle down for good.
“No but heard enough about him to make my ears bleed”, I snorted. “Who is he ?”, I asked.
“Hot stuff”, Dante- the bisexual heartthrob of the university, dreamily said and a smacking fry went flicking on his forehead. “Eww. f**k you, Joy !”, he bellowed.
“You wish”, I rolled my eyes and noticed Dante doing the same.
“I did a little background check and guess what ?!”, he excitedly exclaimed.
“What ?”, I played along but not before flinging a fry at him again and laughing when he glared at me.
“I swear I am going to act like a little b***h and complain to Alpha Niyah that I am your fake boyfriend if you give me a hard time”, Dante growled but the playful gleam in his eyes gave away to his empty threat.
“Try doing that and I swear I will give your tiny d**k a public blowjob in front of the whole pack”, I threatened back and that successfully helped him to shut up, but not stop from flipping his two monumental middle fingers at me.
“So ? What’s got you so excited about him apart from getting into his pants ?”, I asked before digging into the cafeteria’s hopeless food.
“He is …. ”, Dante trailed off, barely unable to keep his excitement at bay. “The Alpha of the Water Moon Pack !”, he whisper yelled excitedly.
“So ?”, I retorted nonchalantly.
“Joy”, he tried keeping patience with me, however failing miserably at it. “The fabled Water Moon Pack !!”, he almost shouted. “The pack which produces nothing but beauties comparable to the Greek Gods and Goddesses !!”, he exclaimed. “God, how I wish I was one of them. I could even sell you to get into that pack”, he wished.
“So this ugly monster of an Alpha is a threat to us or not ?”, I deadpanned.
“Are you kidding me ? Ugly monster ? Have you seen their Beta ? He is f*****g Adonis himself. Just imagine how the Alpha must look !!”, my star struck Beta chided me.
“So a weakling ?”, I enjoyed aggravating my Beta. Don’t ask me why. I just loved it for the heck of troubling him.
“Are you even hearing yourself ?”, I got the shocked reaction that I was expecting from him. Riled up Dante is fun to tease. “It is one of the largest and strongest packs after ours !! Joy, jokes aside, don’t keep your guard down. The Alpha being here surely means something is up. Don’t blow our human cover”, he said in all seriousness.
“Fine. Ask Mom to send a few warriors here”, I ordered him. “And I will ask Dad Jace to alert our standby army too”, I proposed and he nodded his head in agreement.
Time to see who was this “Hot Stuff” now.
