Alpha Ocean ✔

3.5 Tackle

Naya's P.O.V.

I didn't get a chance to speak to Ocean during the meeting but when I found Macey in my room overly excited about me going to Darkwood with her, I realised Ocean was serious about last night. He really did want me to leave with him. 

My heart dropped at the abruptness of my departure. I wanted to go with my Mate. Desperately. But the suddenness of it twisted in my gut.

I despised change.

"I have to speak to my parents." I haven't had a chance to speak to them over dinner with Alpha Dalton, Sasha, Ocean, Aaron, Macey and her family being there. 

Instead of Aaron visiting Macey's home, I decided to invite them so they stood on neutral territory. Alpha Dalton tried to talk about me and Ocean but the glare from me shut him up even though he laughed inside.

 I've known him my whole life and he was like an uncle that always annoyed me no matter what and gave me the most extravagant presents during holidays.

Sasha was pregnant with their first child and in her late 30s whereas Dalton was in his mid-40s. I always wondered why did they wait so long considering their child would be the next alpha but it was none of my business. 

She was a reporter for the News Channel here and travelled frequently but choosing career over Alpha duties were frowned upon by some old fashion packs.

 I thought she could do whatever she wanted. She was too smart to waste her talent.

With her black curly hair and warm brown eyes, she could have been a model with her figure but she was only a couple of inches taller than me. 

Alpha Dalton, on the other hand, had the lightest blue eyes and looked almost white sometimes. Black and white hair framed his face and head. They were a handsome couple.

"Your mum cried when she saw me." I rolled my eyes at her hearing about the antiques of my mother. She was slightly over dramatic. "I missed Esaya's cooking." She groaned getting under my blanket. "Also, are you taking this bed?"

"No, you munchkin, I'm just going to get things sent over. It feels so weird to be moving for someone I hardly know about." I confessed, finally sitting down on the sofa. She wiggled around to face me.

"I was the same way. But can you see yourself without him?" My gut twisted at the thought of that. I wanted to talk to him, kiss him and-

My lips tingled at the thought of what we did last night.

"You're right." I wondered if he spoke to my dad about delaying his flight. "I need to speak to my parents."

"I know but I actually have no idea on where they are right now." She turned on the TV mounted on the wall opposite of my bed. "They were there for dinner but then they left with Dalton and Sasha and my mate."

"Speaking of mates, did you see Lucy today?"

Confused, I replied. "Yes, she made snacks for the meeting today, why?"

"I was speaking to Connor while he was waiting for her, you know when you guys were in the meeting. And Oh My God! You should have seen the daggers she was throwing at me. GIRL, I wanted to take a picture so I could show it to you." She strongly disliked the poor girl.

"I don't even bother nowadays." I was bone tired from arranging everything running around like crazy.

I felt Ocean's arms around my shoulders and my back before it replaced the fluffiness of my bed.
