Chapter 78
Jessica
“Grayson, did you just come out of my sister’s bedroom?”
I roll my eyes and snatch the sandwich out of Pierce’s hand. The stupid motherfucker locked me in his arms last night and spent it with me. I try very very hard because if I did fall asleep, if I let myself drift off even for a second–l
don’t know what he’d do.
Touch me?
Question me?
Kill me?
I don’t know. And I don’t want to find out.
And apparently, confessing to touching Riot wasn’t enough. Wasn’t enough for him to drop it, to back off, to stop looking at me like I’m his problem to fix. Or own. Or punish.
“Jess,” Pierce tries again, brow furrowed. “Seriously. What’s going on with you two?”
“Nothing.”
He gives me a flat look. “Nothing?”
Grayson gets up, hovering beside me before I feel him leans down and kisses me in front of my brother.
Grayson gets up, hovering beside me before I feel him lean down, his stubble grazing my cheek before his lips
capture mine.
When he pulls back, there’s an amusement in his gaze.” “I think your definition of ‘nothing‘ needs some work, baby.”
I don’t think my face can get any redder and I wish I did not just wait for him to wake. Pierce is muttering a series of
curses while I blink trying to process why Grayson is acting this way?
Is it because my birthday is near?
He told me last night, he’ll claim me.
He always tells me he’ll claim me and make me his Luna.
I won’t lie but hearing his version of what happened that night with Aria didn’t really convince me.
He’s hiding something.
And while he’s standing here acting like the devoted mate–to–be, I can smell the anxiety rolling off him in waves

beneath his confident exterior. Two can play this game of pretend, Alpha.
“Can I go to your room today?” I ask, squirming under his gaze. “Please? I want to spend it with you.”

“Well.” Grayson pretended to think at first but I know what he’s doing. I try not to think of anything but his hands on mine, his kisses and his groans. I need to get inside the alpha’s house. I did this trick before so there should be
no–
“No.”
I freeze when Grayson shakes his head.
“What do you mean no?!”
He doesn’t say anything but he moves his hands on my waist, putting me in place. Grayson then stares at my
brother who’s still frowning like me.
“Go and prepare for the event.”
Pierce looks between his alpha and me. ” Don’t knock her up yet.”
“Pierce!”
My brother ignores me and turns his full attention to Grayson. “I’m serious. You have to claim her first. Make it
official. She needs to be Luna before anything else happens.”
Damn it.
Why the fuck are they talking about this infront of me?!
Grayson squeezed my waist and I felt his hot breath on my neck. It feels like he doesn’t have a plan to answer Pierce and I prefer it that way. Knock me up? Is he fucking serious?
I wiggle out of Grayson’s hold but he’s still holding me so tight.
Hello? I’m literally right here,” I snap, waving my hand between them. “And last I checked, we broke up.”
Surprisingly, Grayson did not make a comment. They just exchange some suspicious glances before Pierce packs
another sandwich and walks away.
“You can let go of me now.”
Grayson snorts in amusement. “Says who?”
“I mean,” I say, trying to draw away from him. “I have to go train and you have to go do your meetings or something.”
That’s stupid. Considering it was just ten seconds ago when I’m begging him to take me to his room. I’m desperate. There’s something that I must do.

Grayson’s expression softens and before I knew it, he’s already moving to sit in the chair and pull me into his lap. He’s very clingy. Extra clingy. And I don’t like it.
“What about your offer earlier, hmm?”
I startle when Grayson grabs my chin and makes me look in his feral eyes. It’s still morning and I’m still angry but forgive me moon goddess if I’m starting to feel horny just by looking at his gaze.
“You…told me no.”
Grayson scowls. “So?”
His other hand slides inside my shirt, just staying on my stomach as if he knows the effect of his touch on me. I can’t help but to groan, burying my face on the crook of his neck. That little action made him chuckle.
It’s so hot and for a moment, I don’t want to fucking think of anything but his hands on me. I’m panting hard now when Grayson pulls his hands away making me grunt in pain.
“We can do it here.”
I slap his chest. “Stop teasing me.”
When his fingers trail higher up to my pussy, I go stock still. We’re in that position when Riot appears, making me
quickly get off Grayson’s lap.
His movements stop, and give Riot a single glare. “She won’t be attending your training anymore.”
“Says who?”
I hate how both of them are just invading our house now. Riot seems to not be bothered by Grayson’s presence. I, on the other hand, am very bothered by both of them.
“Look-”
Grayson put me back on his lap, not caring if Riot is watching. “What do you want?”
“Grayson.”
“Stay still,” Grayson commands.
I’m so angry I can barely feel his touch on my inner thigh. Riot must’ve thought I’m such a slut after this. Oh goddess! This is so fucked up.
Grayson is touching me while his brother is standing just a few feet away from us. A silent moan escapes my lips when his fingers draw higher, almost touching the side of my cunt,
“You know I can smell her, right?”
I close my eyes. I am not going to be a tool for these idiots to stroke their egos. I have to suppress a moan by all the

sensations Grayson is giving me.
“You can even watch Riot. So you’ll know she’s my girl.”
I whine, feeling shocked by his offer. He…wants Riot to watch? Is he insane? I’m getting close to the edge when Grayson pinch my skin making me gasp.
“Do you want that, Jess?” I feel like that’s a trick question.” Open your eyes and answer me, Jessica.”
“Please,” I whimper, not willing to do this.
There’s only a certain amount of sanity that I can take from Grayson. Getting off while someone watches is not one
of them.
Grayson huffs a laugh against my ear, then withdraws his hand away from me. The sudden emptiness made me sad but it also made me sigh in relief.
“I’m just kidding,” he threatens, then kisses my lips. ” Considering it a warning to never fool with Riot again.”
Then, Grayson stood up and went to Riot so they could have their little chat while I remained there, feeling horrible about everything.
Just two freaking days, Jessica.
Two freaking days.
