Zach's Light (completed)

Chapter 8: FUTURE SECOND ALPHA

R A I N

I thought everything was a déjà vu. It looked just like what happened in my dream last night and when he leaned to kiss me, it was as if something snapped inside me and made me want to pull him even closer and never let go.

It was no other than my wolf, of course. He had been craving for our mate and it didn't mean that I didn't want our mate. It was just happening so fast and of all the people. . . why him?

I jumped in horror when the door of the storage room slammed open and I was so glad to see Luke and not Auntie Maika. I pushed Zach's chest making him took a step backward and ignored the protest of my wolf.

"Things are not like the way you are seeing." I said to Luke and I knew I didn't convince him basing from the look he was giving us.

"I understand, Rain, you don't have to lie. I. . . I'm so sorry for interrupting." Luke said and walked away leaving the door still open.

I didn't give Zach a single glance and went out after Luke. The hallway was empty and classes were already starting. I could feel Zach following me and I headed to our classroom to where I saw Luke turned with quick steps. Mr. Styles raised his brow to the both of us when we went inside the room.

I tried catching Luke's attention but he wouldn't look at me during class and I occasionally glanced at Zach's seat which was at the last seat at Luke's column. I couldn't help it, my head just turned around as if it had its own life.

I sighed and glanced at Luke when he tore a page from his notes, crumpling it and our eyes met.

"Sorry, I was acting like a kid." He said making me feel relieved. I didn't want someone, especially a close friend, wouldn't talk to me or start avoiding me because of misunderstandings.

"No." I shook my head.

"I was just surprised. You didn't tell me anything about it." He said.

"Believe me, I don't know that I like. . . guys?" It sounded unsure and Luke just nodded his head in understanding.

"So, the reason why he transferred school is because of you?" He asked and I nodded. Zach gave up the pack school and training because of me. I only realized.

"Maybe." I said and glanced at Zach and his turquoise blue eyes were intently looking at me.

When the bell rang, I stood from my chair instantly and threw my bag on my back as I walked outside the classroom ahead of Luke. I didn't bother to visit my locker and walked ahead outside. Luke caught up my pace and we both walked side by side when I felt my stomach twisted in a disturbing way because I could feel Zach's presence behind me.

Zach was walking behind me and Luke like a shadow but we was only tailing us and I was relieved that Zach didn't do anything weird.

My wolf whimpered and calling for his mate making me bit my bottom lip. Ever since Zach showed up, all the aches I was experiencing the past few days were gone. So, I decided to stop being so stubborn and talk to my mate.

I could feel my heart softening and I wouldn't mind if we would get along. We were mates after all, we should be together. It was just me being hard headed and stubborn.

I sighed and abruptly faced my back making me yelp when I almost bumped at Zach who was inches away from me. I almost lost my balance when I took a step back. Zach automatically wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me closer.

I was surprised to see him that close and it made my heart beats erratically inside my chest and I just wanted to stay like that for a long time and stare at his beautiful eyes. Ever since we were a pup, even though I hated him but it never stopped me from liking the shade of his eyes.

We heard someone cleared his throat making the both of us turn to Luke and we stepped away from each other as if we were burned from our intimate touches. I could feel my face heating from embarrassment.

Did we just do that in front of the building?

I glanced from side to side and some of the students were looking away when I saw them looking in our direction. of course, they saw.

"You should correct your misunderstandings," Luke said making me frown.

"We're—"

"Yeah." Zach cut me. "We'll go home together." He said and I made a face but never bothered to correct Zach.

"Okay, that's good. I'll see you tomorrow." Luke said and walked ahead of us.

I narrowed my eyes at Zach and I jumped when he grabbed my arm and pulled me with him.

"Why are you here?" I started but I didn't pull my hand back because it felt warm and let him drag me towards the parking area.

"Because you're here." He said and I kinda felt my heart fluttered hearing his reason. He was an asshole!

"So what if I'm here?" We stopped in front of a gray Tesla and Zach opened the door for me. "I can open it on my own." I said and he looked at me before he nodded and turned around to the driver's door.

I took a seat inside and Zach turned the engine on. We were silent during the ride and I wasn't surprised if he knew where I was living. We stopped in front of the gate and he turned the engine off but neither of us moved. We remained sitting and feeling each other's presence.

I couldn't deny that it feels nice to feel him beside me but it wasn't enough. I want to really feel him.

"I," Zach started making me glance at him, "didn't went to your uni to study. I enrolled there to be with you." He said but he wasn't looking at me. He was looking at his hands that were wrapped on the steering wheel. "We both know that we need each other." Zach finally looked at me and I looked away feeling awkward. "Things are already different and I know you experienced it, that we get sick when we're apart, but I'm not saying I'm here just because of that, that we're mates, that we should be together. I'm here because I want to simply be with you."

I stared to my lap while listening. I know he meant it. I could hear his wolf saying the same thing to mine. I licked my dry lips and looked at Zach who was still looking at me.

I also wanted to be with him. I just have a stubborn ass but I really wanted to be with my mate because no matter how I hated him but I had this urge to be with him.

I left early that day not because I wanted to avoid him, I really have to go to school but that night, I never had a wink of sleep. My mind went crazy from thinking if I should stay for Zach or go back for school. I only have a few years left and I thought I could endure it but I was haunted by the thoughts of him every day and night.

Zach slowly leaned his head closer and I knew he was going to kiss me. I didn't wait for him to kiss me, I crossed that distance and gave him a peck. I smiled when I heard a low groan from Zach's lips after that brief kiss. My wolf was also whimpering inside.

Zach placed his hand on my chin and pressed our lips again, this time it was a real kiss and it feels so good. I found myself placing my hands on his hips while he cupped my face. We were both fighting for dominance, our tongue twirling together and I moved my hands everywhere feeling his hard body but it wasn't enough. I wanted to feel his bare skin. The kiss became wild as if it was the very last kiss we were going to share before we die.

My hands landed on the back of his jeans and inserted it into his back pockets, pulling him closer to me. We both released a moan when his one hand landed on my crotch where my d**k was starting to awaken.

We both pulled away immediately when the gate suddenly creaked open. I even forgot that we were already parked in front of the house and we were kissing. Zach was so fast to retreat and sat properly on the driver's seat and I was trying so hard to stop my growing erection.

I checked who it was and saw Wesley. I glanced at Zach and my eyes landed to his swollen reddish lips.

I wanted to kiss him again but I only licked my lips and remembered how soft and sweet his lips were. Zach smacked my face with his hand, surprising me.

"Where do you think you're looking." He said making me chuckle.

"To your swollen red lips." I said which was the truth and he glared at me.

I didn't know what was wrong with my eyes but I found him even more handsome and cute at the same time especially when he glares or act tough.

"Shut your fvcking mouth or I'll kill you." He said and I chuckled.

I felt good that I was starting on feeling comfortable with him. I never thought a day would come that I would kiss Zach.

Our intimate conversation was cut when Wesley knocked on the window. I opened the door and went out without saying anything.

"Why won't you invite him in?" Wesley said. "Mom's cooking for dinner, it's their anniversary."

I haven't responded when Wesley knocked on the window again and Zach slides it down, leaning a little bit to the passenger seat.

"Hi, I'm Wesley, Rain's cousin and I know you're Rain's mate and if you have time, can you stay for dinner? It's my mom and dad's anniversary and they'd be so glad to meet you." He explained.

"He can't. He's busy." I said slapping his ass making him yelp and he glare at me.

I didn't want auntie Maika and uncle Kyle to meet him because we were still not that really in good terms. Yet. I knew he would refuse.

"Why not?" I snapped my head and looked at Zach with a surprised look.

Did he just say that?

"Then, that's great." Wesley said and walked back to open the gate wider.

I watched his car went inside and I followed. I was expecting to refuse him because he would be too shy after that kiss. I smiled as I help Wesley close the gate.

**

"You're alpha Kurt and Colin's son, right?" Auntie Maika asked.

"Yes." Zach answered.

I forgot it was their anniversary and they always celebrate it. Auntie went home early to cook and so was uncle and Wesley's class usually ended early. It was just a coincidence that Zach brought me home. Who knew it was their anniversary. No one reminded me and today was different since they had a guest. It was the one of the famous alpha's twins son. Well, Jack is the famous one and Zach is infamous.

"So, you're also studying at the same uni where our Rain's in?"

"Yes. I asked my dad to get transferred last day because I don't want to be away with Rain." He said and I almost rolled my eyes. He was too honest.

"Aww." Auntie muttered sounding like a kid. "That's so sweet! Right, Kyle?"

"Yeah." Uncle said and Wesley just enjoyed his dinner without getting involved in the conversation. I was also only listening but I was aware of Zach's every movement.

After dinner, I walked Zach to the front door. He stopped and glanced at the staircase making me frown.

"What?" I said.

"Can I see your room?" He said so suddenly.

"No." I refused and he crossed his eyebrows.

I was trying to control myself from getting excited. My mate in my room would be a disaster and we just got along. I want to know him better.

"I want to see your room." He repeated with a final tone in his voice and I refused again.

What will he be doing there anyway?

"I just want to see what your room looks like." He insisted and I sighed. "I'm not gonna stop and leave until you say yes." He said sounding so stubborn.

I forgot, he was also stubborn.

I frowned at him. "Fine." I gave up. "There's nothing in my room." I said and went upstairs and I could feel him following me.

I used my foot to kick the slightly opened door of my bedroom and went inside first. I was glad that it wasn't messy. I turned around and saw Zach closing the door, hearing the lock click.

"Why did you lock the door?" I raised a brow at him. my heart was starting to beat fast and my wolf howling with excitement.

"Maybe because I don't want them to see me like this." Zach said and lifted his shirt up, completely removing it in one swift motion and discarding it to the floor, displaying his well-built body. "Opps."

I could feel my wolf kicking in but there was no way I was letting him. I watched Zach walk towards me and stopped in front of me. I felt my throat becoming dry and my breathing was unstable. I never thought Zach would be this naughty. I need to hold back.

"You're playing a dangerous game, future alpha of the pack." I said and he chuckled and hearing him chuckle turned me on.

How wonderful is that?

"I'm aware of that and I want the future second alpha to play that game with me." He said and grabbed a handful of the collar of my shirt and pulled it, smashing our lips together.
