Disciplined By Three Alphas

Chapter 5: Mate!!!

(Ray POV)

I scoffed while looking towards the tracker which they put in my pocket to get the exact location of mine. I threw it away in a barren land before Speeding off my car and leaving the place. I stopped my car and fished out my phone and dialed a number.

“Hey, Joe! How are you? You called me earlier. Sorry! I was busy at that time,” I said and he started telling me the details of a new project.

“Listen, Ray! This is so a profitable deal and if you successfully sign it, then you will get a huge amount as p*****t. The person is filthy rich and agreed to pay double if you complete his work before the decided time and date,” he said, and I could feel the excitement in his voice.

“Oh really! That’s great. Share the details with me and then I will give you my answer after thinking about this offer,” I answered, and he said yes in answer.

“Are you coming tonight or not?” I furrowed my brows in confusion because I didn’t know why he is asking this question.

“Tonight? Where exactly?” I asked in a casual tone and he let out a frustrated breath before answering my question.

“Come on, Ray! Today is my birthday and you forgot it like in previous years,” He complained and my eyes widened in shock when reality hit me hard like a cyclone. Sh*t man! Why do I have such a sh*tty memory?

“Oh! I am sorry, Joe! Happy birthday, Man! I totally forgot about this and the place we decided on. Can you please send me the details, Sweetie?” I asked in a sweet tone and he mumbled something before saying Yes. I ended the call and wanted to bump my head on the steering wheel. How can I forget his birthday?

“You really need an appointment with a psychiatrist, Ray! Your brain starts doing funny things with you. First, you got an unexpected heat, and now you forgot the birthday of your best friend, f*ck this!” I said before starting my car again and heading towards the hotel. I didn’t share the correct details with Delilah because she was such a worried baby. I don’t want to make her more worried than she already is, so I decided to keep it a secret. I parked my car before throwing my car keys to Nathan.

“Hey, Babe! Where were you? Long time, no see,” He asked while he caught my keys.

“Been busy,” I answered before heading straight to my room. I have a reserved room here, in this shady motel. I had helped Nathan a few times in the past and when I asked him about a room, He decided to give me a permanent room. He wanted to give me this room as a gift but I rejected his offer and decided to pay him a decent rent on a monthly basis. I didn’t have a habit of taking and accepting things for free. I worked hard for every single thing in my life, so it is against my self-respect and ego to accept things for free.

I opened the door of the room and secured it with a lock before going towards my wardrobe. I opened its door and stuffed the files and USB in it. Finally, I got a moment to relax before I had to attend the birthday party of my friend. Well! It was not a casual birthday party because it included only two of us. We didn’t have any other friend because of our work and our harsh experiences. F*ck all of them! I need to rest a bit to recharge my energy. I climbed onto the bed and close my eyes.

Holy f*ck! I missed the comfort of my bed so much. I almost moaned in delight when my stiff back felt a bit of comfort. Before I know it, I was drifted into a deep slumber.

“Are you sure they will come tonight?” I asked while sitting in front of Joe.

“I am damn sure but you should wish me first,” He pouted, but his eyes lit up like a Christmas tree when I slid a small box towards him.

“For the love of goddess! Did you really bring this gift for me?” He asked while holding that small box like he just found a treasure.

“Nope! For that hot bartender,” I answered while glancing towards the bartender and he quickly gave me a flirty smile. I rolled my eyes after looking his reaction…Typical man, you know.

“Haha! I can’t believe that I got my first birthday gift from you in my twenty eight of years of life,” he said while grinning like a Cheshire cat.

“Twenty-nine,” I corrected him and he narrowed his eyes towards me before looking towards his gift.

“No worries! I am not in the mood to argue with you tonight. After all, you brought a gift for me,” he said, and started opening its wrapping. I looked towards my only loyal friend other than Delilah. He was of 5’8 in height with blonde hair and dark blue eyes. He didn’t have a chiseled body like models, but he still had a good build. I know, He can get any girl he wants with just his looks, but he was not interested in settling down yet. He hates females, and he has a strong reason behind doing this. We met with each other during a fight and I helped him to fight a few goons. I am glad that the Moon Goddess sent friends like Joe and Delilah in my life. Otherwise, I didn’t have any idea what I would do with my life without them. I know they both care about me a lot but never share it on their faces like me.

“Come on, Girl! I want a hot dance with you,” He said, and I nodded before going towards the dance floor. It was one of the most popular clubs of the town. We decided to celebrate his birthday here when our potential client asked for us to meet there. I never started a project without doing proper research but this client refused to give his data. Instead, he wanted to meet me personally before giving me this project. This was not my first time when some suspected my skills as a female spy and thief, but I didn’t care about other people’s opinions.

We quickly got on the dance floor and started dancing. We are not interested in each other at all, but we love to pretend like boyfriend and girlfriend in public places. I completely changed my appearance because nobody saw me in my real appearance except my close friends. I made a fake appearance, which I used wherever public appearance became necessary for me.

“Yoo hoo! Some boys are eye f*cking you at this moment because you are looking hot as hell tonight,” Joe commented and I laughed while playfully punching on his arm. He winced dramatically and I rolled my eyes again.

“Mate!” I heard someone whisper and my whole body tensed after hearing this word. I looked towards Joe but he was dancing and not looking towards me. I turned around and checked everyone but there was no any person who was looking towards me then who had whispered this word just a moment ago. I asked myself but failed to find the answer of my question.

Maybe it was just my imagination. I said while gulping hard. My throat dried, and I whispered in Joe’s ear that I was going to have a drink. He nodded, and I quickly went down the dance floor.
