Chapter 71 Chapter 71
"As a beta by birth, I feel like it's restricting me from so many things and that's why Mason mostly has to do a lot of work instead of me." I frowned on adding the last sentence. "I want to be extremely powerful and rule over so many nations of werewolves, make a few changes that'll affect me positively, and give birth to the next strongest werewolf."
'Are you fucking stupid? Please shut up now before you blurt out too much information than you already have.' Kayla pleaded.
I let out a deep sigh and he was still peering into my eyes. "I'm glad you confide in me now. I can help you out with becoming Luna, I'm really rooting for you."
"You would?" I smiled, feeling a ray of hope flashing over my head.
"Yes."
"That'd be great!" "So you have a problem with him being close to the omega, right?"
"Yes." My frown returned to my face. "He's just on happy except he's with her. Most of his attention is and on about her and I've never seen him act so on her. Can you believe the time he left the meeting, he left to meet her. He even plans to take her to the party with him. Now they are on a vacation, how can I be sure he's not fucking her ass out right now?" I didn't realize I was yelling until he lifted and lowered his hands, signaling for me to take a deep breath.
'If you make anything flop for us and have us killed, I'll make sure to kill you!' What the heck was Kayla saying?
I let out a sigh again. "I don't know why I said that or why I'm confiding in you, but I think I can still trust you to keep this a secret because you and I have been members of this pack from its beginning.
"Yes, and that's enough reason to trust me. I definitely want you to be the Luna and not some stupid mutt. I'll make sure you become the Luna because you deserve it more than anyone else. I'll make sure to keep that bitchy woman from him." He frowned and his face turned stern as he spoke about Jane.
"Do you perhaps have any issue with Jane?" I tilted my head.
"Issue? The kind of burning anger I feel towards her is more than a mere issue. I hate that stupid mutt so much due to an event from the past. I wouldn't miss a chance to make sure she's suffering. That's why I was so pained when Alpha Keegan released her from prison. If only stupid Liam hadn't tried to assault her, she could still be in my custody and facing the worst terrible punishments of her life or could've even been dead now. I just feel like..."
"It's fine." I cut him off with widened eyes. "I never realized the hatred you have for her but now that I do, I think you'd be just the perfect fit to help me out while you also get a chance to have your revenge on her."
As much as I didn't want to, I was glad to know I had help with getting rid of Jane from Keegan's life.
"Keegan, I heard the party is taking place this afternoon. I informed him, scrolling through my phone.
"Yes, sure. I heard that too. How did you figure it out?"
"I have a phone, remember? I was also notified."
"oh." He chuckled.
"I'll change into a swimsuit now. I think Mae and Chloe got me some of them."
"Let me know when you're ready. I'll be right back." He rose up from the bed and left the house.
"Where's he heading to now?" I asked no one in particular and started searching my bags for what I could wear to the beach. I remembered they had packed a few swimsuits and lingerie for me and as I dug into them, there was literally nothing that wasn't too revealing. "How the hell did I let them buy these for me? Didn't they stop to think that I'll want to swim in public?" I complained.
After a few more minutes of trying to search for an at least appropriate swimsuit, I finally concluded on wearing a one-piece swimsuit. It looked like a bra and panty that had a strap that connected and held them together in place.
I heaved a sigh and quickly got rid of my dress to get into the swimsuit. It was hard to wear with its strappiness but I was finally able to do it. Staring at my body in the full body mirror, I realized it made me look very hot, like these sexy models on magazine covers. The swimsuit had a strap that formed an 'X' from my midriff to the panty line and also had a strap behind that could hold the panty line and secure the bra in place.
It looked really great on me. If only I could be confident enough to rock the beach looking like this, I'd feel super great..
The door opened and Alpha Keegan walked right into me adoring my body in the mirror. He had opened his mouth to say something but no word came out of it, so he simply shut the door and walked up to me, his eyes running a quick scan of me.
"Let's get going. But before then," he opened the wardrobe and took out a red robe from it and walked up to me, wearing it over my body. "Okay, now we can leave."
Did he think I looked terrible? Why'd he want me to be covered? What if I didn't look as good as I thought? What if everyone laughed at my body? I felt like runn to hide under the sheets.
I sighed, my entire good mood had been crushed completely. "Are you prepared?"
"Yes, I'll just wear a loose swimming trunk." He shrugged.
"Okay, meet me by the porch." I left and sat on one of the benches on the porch.
The sound of music from afar gingered my mood again for the party. I didn't have to swim, I didn't even know how to swim, so I could remain in the robe and not show off my swimsuit. I shrugged.
After a while, Keegan (yup, I was getting used to calling him that) walked out in his brief and black singlet. Though he wasn't showing off so much skin, his exposed muscles still made him look sexy without effort.
"Let's head over to it. There are so many activities going on but I just want to sit under the sound of music blasting through my ears, watching people dancing crazy, or doing anything I consider fun."
"You're a very boring person. I thought I was boring, but yours is on a different level. You won't even try to make friends with a few men?"
"It's not necessary." He laced our fingers together." Let's get going." I loved when he held my hand, it made me feel under his care and protection.
When we arrived at the beach, he turned to me and a small frown formed on his face. He glanced at the round us then tied the belt of my robe to make sure I was fully covered. "There are so many men around."
Seriously? Did he intend to make me feel more insecure than I already did?
He held my hand again and led us to two out of so many beach chairs under a shade. He laid on one of
them while I just sat on the one beside him.
He signaled for a woman to head over to us. She was with a few other women and men that were uniformed in a short dress with similar design patterns on their clothes.
"Welcome here. We hope you're having a nice time."
She grinned at both of us and her smile seemed genuine, so I returned it. "Would you like anything to drink or for your service?"
"Yes, two coconut drinks for us and sunglasses."
"Okay, I'll be right back." She said and took her leave.
Many people here seemed like they were romantic couple. A lot of them around us were either dancing, some of them were making out, some of them just laid on the sand or a beach chair, holding hands, some of them were formed in a circle to interact with one another and seemed like they were playing games. There were so many activities I couldn't even count all of them. The activity that caught my interest the most was the swimming part of it. Though I couldn't swim in Deep waters, a lot of people close to the shore were swimming and there was like a board to ensure people didn't go beyond a particular line. Some people in the water were playing balls and the others were chatting and laughing while competing over one thing or the other. It all seemed like so much fun.
The waitress returned with a tray that contained two half coconuts with a straw sticking out of them and two sunglasses.
"Thank you." He passed one of the half coconuts to me. "Here you go."
"Thank you." I accepted it with a smile and he took the other one and wore the sunglasses, resting his head against the beach chair while taking a few sips of his coconut drink at long intervals.
"Keegan, will you just sleep while I sit here doing nothing?" I wondered.
"I'm not limiting you from doing anything. There are so many activities around and I just want to relax, but if you need my attention," he sat up straight and faced me, "that's fine."
"I don't need your attention." I rolled my eyes.
"You definitely do." He tucked a few strands of my hair behind my ear and lifted my coconut so I took a sip of it. A smirk crawled up to his lips as he started saying, "do you know—"
He was interrupted by a man and two women that walked up to us, holding wooden notebooks in their forearms.
"Hi," one of the woman waved at us.
"Do you need anything?" Keegan asked, dropping the coconuts beside him.
