You Intoxicate me

Chapter 5

-Crimson P.O.V.-

BEEP BEEP BEE..

I groan as I grab my phone from under my pillow and swipe to turn off my alarm. I look down to see that Mack is gone. I sigh as I slowly get out of bed before I make my way over to my closet. I pick out some dark brown sweatpants and a hoodie that is a size too big for me before I make my way over to my bathroom. I brush my teeth before putting on some deodorant and brushing my hair into a high-ponytail. I look in the mirror to see that the cuts on my face are gone and I lift up my hoodie to see my cuts were almost healed. I drop my hoodie back down with a sigh before heading out of my bathroom. I walk over to my door then slip on my fuzzy flip flop slippers as I head out to the kitchen. I can hear some voices as I get closer which means that Jake is already here.

I rounded the corner to see Jake sitting down at the bar with a guy beside him while Mack and Tom were standing on the opposite side/across from them. They were laughing before Tom picked up on my scent and turned his head to look at me. He gives me a little smile which causes Jake to look over. He smiles once he sees me before he runs over to me.

Jake slams into me as he wraps his arms around my upper body. I try my hardest not to wince as I do not want to give away that I was hurt. Thankfully Jake doesn’t notice as he lets me go with a smile.

“You would think that you haven’t seen me in years, babes.” I say to Jake with a soft chuckle.

He rolls his eyes before dragging me over to his mystery man. His mystery man gets off of the stool and stands before Jake and I. He held out his hand for me to shake which I obliged him. “My name is Seth James.” He says with a deep voice.

I c*ck my head to the side as I look him up and down. He must be a werewolf because there is no way that his handshake would come from a human. Also his eyes give him away as it is typical for a werewolf to have grey eyes. I release his hand as I continue to look at him which is causing him to shift from one foot to the other.

“Stop it!” Jake says with a raised voice as he slaps my arm. I watch as he goes to stand next to Seth while Seth wraps his arm around Jake.

“Beta, Delta, or Gamma?” I ask Seth which causes him to look at me with wide-eyes.

Seth quickly composes himself. “I am a Beta. Actually, I am Beta of BloodMoon Eclipse.”

“No s*it.” I say with a slight disbelief in my tone.

He chuckles before running a hand through his hair. “Yeah. Small world.”

I nod while I turn to sit down in one of the kitchen chairs as the rest of everyone joins me. Once they are all seated, I turn my attention back to Seth and Jake. “So, you two are mates?”

Jake nods his head with a big smile. “Yeah, I just found out today. In Fact, I surprised him when I just outright told him that I knew he was a werewolf.”

This causes Seth to chuckle. “Yeah, I was shocked. Then again, I didn’t know that you were his sister either.”

“Yeah not a lot of people know who my siblings are. It is for their own protection.”

“Which we are thankful for.” Mack says quickly after me.

We spend the next hour getting to know Seth while also shocking him with some of our stories. He was also shocked to find out that I have never met Ambrose but I have heard about him from Roger and Luke as well as Lisa. When I saved Luke, Ambrose was actually in a different country meeting with other packs to benefit both his and Luke’s pack. Then within the next 6 years we have never once crossed paths which to me isn't odd. Roger and Lisa are the ones who visit me or sometimes I meet them for dinner while Luke and his mate are always inviting me over to their pack. Ambrose was always busy running his own pack as they are a fast rate growing pack.

Mack and Jake were in the middle of a conversation when I felt a gaze on my neck. “You may ask me about it, Seth.”

Seth’s cheeks ran a deep-red color before he cleared his throat. “I didn’t mean..” I held up my hand which caused him to stop speaking.

I gave him a small smile that didn’t reach my eyes. “It was the price I paid for saving Luke’s life. I may tell you the story about it one day but it will be on my own terms.” I say to him in a tone that I hope he understands.

He nods in understanding as Jake grabs his hand. Seth soon stands causing everyone to go silent. “I must be getting back to my pack as I am sure that Ambrose is wondering where I am. It is a pleasure to have met you, Crimson.” He says to me before reaching a hand across the table for me to shake. We shake hands before he turns his attention to Mack and Tom. “It was also a pleasure to meet the two of you.” Of course, Mack walks around the table and brings Seth into a hug.

“It was a pleasure to meet you too.” Mack says as he pulls away from Seth.

Tom nods as he comes over to me. I know he can tell that I am in pain as I need another dose of potion. I must have underestimated how deep the cuts on my sides were. F**k. Jake is soon leading Seth to the door as Tom wraps an arm around my waist and leads me back to my room. Tom walks me over to my little living room and sits me down on my couch. He then walks over to my safe and pulls out a mini-potion before tossing it to me. I catch it and quickly down it because I do not want Jake to see me drinking this. I throw the empty bottle back over to Tom who catches it. He then walks out of my room just when I lay down on the couch while picking up my remote. I turn the TV on as I feel like watching something.

And as expected, here comes Jake. He lifts up my legs and sits in their place while placing my legs on his lap. “So, what did you think?” He asks me with a hint of nervousness in his tone.

“I like him.” I say while turning my head to look at him with a smile.

I can see Jake instantly calm down as relief washes over him. “Thank god! So are we going to Luke’s event? Seth will be there since Ambrose’s pack is attending.” He ends up blushing by the end of his sentence.

I try to hide my smirk as I know why he is blushing right now. “Yes, we are going. I would like to finally meet Ambrose along with his pack.”

This, of course, causes Jake to throw a fist up in the air while smiling. I just laugh before we both settle down and just watch what I put on. I soon feel my eyes start to get heavy as my body is letting me know that I really need some rest.
