You Intoxicate me

Chapter 13

-Crimson P.O.V.-

It was the next morning, and I was currently sitting at the kitchen bar drinking down my coffee before I would get my day started. I was looking through my phone making sure to reply to some emails and some messages from Alphas who either needed my help or they were just reaching out to tell me that everything has been going good since I handled their problem. I was waiting for Tom to walk in so I could tell him that I would need him to reschedule all of my appointments for the week as I would be spending my time with Ambrose. Now, I have yet to tell my mate about this but I am sure that he will be pleased. About 5 minutes later, Tom is walking through the back door.

“Hey, sis.” He yawns out as he walks over to the kitchen and pours himself some coffee.

“Hello, brother.” I say as I take a sip of my coffee.

“Oh, no. What is it?” Tom groans out as he walks over to the refrigerator and pulls out some creamer.

I suppress a chuckle. “Whatever do you mean?”

Tom just sighs as he puts up the creamer and walks over to where I am. He sits down beside me and sips his coffee before turning his attention to me. “Do not play with me. What do you want? It is too early for this.”

I just smirk as I turn to face him. “Calm down. I just need you to reschedule my appointments for the week as I am going to spend my time with Ambrose. When the week is up, we will meet to discuss the future.” I say seriously as I drop my smirk.

Tom just nods. “I already went ahead and rescheduled all of your appointments for the week as I guessed that you would be Ambrose which there wasn’t a lot to do this week anyways. Have you given any thought as to what you are going to do once the week is up?”

I sigh. “I am unsure. I know that I will need to deal with Abaddon (Leader of the Nightwalkers) and I will need to figure out if I want to involve Ambrose’s pack or not.”

“You know he is going to want to help. Plus, are you going to let him change you into a werewolf during this week-long stay with your mate?”

“I had planned on it. I need to be changed before I leave Ambrose, in case anything happens. I do not want to risk being kidnapped and held until I turn 30 before I can change. I refuse to become one of those NightWalkers.” I say with disgust.

“I understand that, but I will make sure along with Ambrose that you never get taken by that bastard.” Tom says with venom in his voice.

“I know, I know but I need to be thinking of all possibilities.” I say with a sigh as I take another sip of my coffee. Tom was about to say something else, but then Jake walked into the kitchen.

“Hey sis. Hey bro.” Jake says with a smile as he walks over to the cabinets to pull out a cup because unlike me or Tom, he only drinks juice in the mornings. He hates the taste of coffee.

“Good Morning, Brother.” I say with a hint of seriousness in my voice.

“Good Morning.” Tom mutters out as he could not control his emotions as quickly as I could. I snap my gaze over to Tom and he just looks at me before shrugging his shoulders. D**k. I know he is upset from the conversation that we just had, but he needs to act as if we didn’t have such a conversation with Jake around. Jake cannot handle things like this.

And of course, Jake caught on. “What is going on?” He asks in a worried voice as he leans against the counter, right in front of Tom and I.

I sigh. “Just work things. Tom didn’t quite like where the conversation was going, but it is nothing for you to worry about.” I tell him with a smile.

“Yes, It is nothing for you to worry about. I am sorry for worrying you, brother.” Tom says softly as he could feel how worried Jake was.

Jake just nods and goes back to drinking his juice before a look of “oh sh*t” comes across his face. “What is going to happen to Tom and Mack?” Jake quickly asks almost as quickly as he slammed his cup down on the counter.

I look at him confused. “What do you mean?”

“Are they going to join Ambrose’s pack with us or what?” Jake quickly presses.

Tom chuckles slightly. “That is something for Mack and I to decide.” And of course, this causes Jake to frown and me to roll my eyes.

“We will discuss this another time, okay? Let me actually mate with Ambrose before any of this is spoken of, okay?” I ask Jake with a raised eyebrow.

He sighs. “Okay.”

I nod before jumping off of the bar stool and walking over to place my coffee cup in the sink. I kiss Jake on the cheek before I make my way out of the kitchen and to my room. I make sure to close and lock my door while sending a quick text to Tom.

Me to Tom: You don’t say those types of things in front of Jake. We will have a family discussion about all of this later.

I swear, Tom is going to give Jake a heart attack with all this. I do not know what it is, but Jake has always been the ‘softy’ of the siblings. He cannot handle things like this and I am glad that he is mated to someone who can shield him from this life. I am soon broken from my thoughts and packing when my phone rings. I pick it up and see that my mate is calling me.

Me: Hello, Ambrose. (I say with a smile.)

Ambrose: Hello, baby girl. I was just wondering when you will be coming today.

Me: Well, actually about that… (I trail off as I try to sound like I am sad)

Ambrose: What? Can you not make it today? (I smiled as I could hear the panic in his voice.)

Me: I was actually wondering if it would be okay if I spent a week with you?

Ambrose: That would be amazing. When will you get here? I am eager to have you in my arms again. (I could hear just how eager he was by the tone of his voice. I just chuckled before I responded.)

Me: I will be there within the hour. See you soon, Alpha.

Ambrose: See you soon, baby girl.

I hang up the phone and go back to packing. I make sure to pack all sorts of outfits that could range from me going to a fancy place to just hanging out in the bedroom, and then some jewelry among some other little things. I also make sure to pack some naughty underwear as well as some regular underwear. I pack some last minute things from my bathroom, then my laptop, my phone charger, and then some other simple things.

Once I was all packed, I decided to get ready for the trip. I had taken a shower earlier so all I needed to do was throw on some clothes. I put on some dark wash high-waisted shorts, a black tank-top with thin straps, then I threw on an oversized flannel with the sleeves rolled up to the middle of my forearm, and finally I put on a pair of black sneakers. My hair was put in a messy bun as I had on simple earrings, my rings, my necklaces, and then watch along with my bracelets. I zipped my suitcase up and headed out.
