C8 Why Two Suites?

Shelby explained what she had seen and done, they nodded in her response. Tristan was holding one of her hands and Mac the other as they had her facing them. Laurent came back and shook his head using sign language telling his brothers what he had seen. They slightly nodded at his story, he came up from behind and touched Shelby’s shoulder. She turned and investigated a light grey eyed man.

“You're a hybrid too and my mate?”

“Yes, Shelby we three are your mates and are hybrids. Nice to meet you little mate.” Laurent giggled.

“We know you cannot hug us or anything right now. Wade is up there in his suite watching us as we speak. We must be careful little love bug until the time comes and we take these bastards down.” Tristen said.

“I am going back to my suite; wait you said he has a suite?”

“Yes, sixth floor balcony watching us.”

“Umm, we are on the other side where the Violent Reefs are. We are not on this side.” She said with concern.

“He always had a suite for himself, look you did not hear this from us but...” Tristan trails off.

“He has a high sexual appetite if you know what I mean.” Laurent said.

“How do you know this?”

“I was invited to his suite for a so-called party, which a lot of guests are invited to. When I walked in and saw what was going on...The three of us will do without any unwanted guests.”

“Ewe, orgy of sorts?”

“Umm, yes little mate, orgy with people together along with drugs, alcohol, and some were being fed on. I had to turn and walk out I could not... well I did want to drink the blood, but they were all laced with drugs and that does not mix for me. It is dangerous for shifters but straight vampires it gives them a high which alcohol does not allow.”

Shelby had shell shocked eyes and so did the other two all shaking their heads. Wade and Tristan wondered why they were not invited but glad they were not. She told them she was going back to her suite and take a shower even a bath. She had to get the sticky blood off her, even though she was swimming in the ocean it still did not wash it all off plus she felt disgusted and gross. She could not shake her uncle the way he was treated even fueled the fire building up inside her.

Now she knew where he was coming from but unsure where exactly that was. They all had more investigating to do before they could form a plan. It was going to take a lot of time and she could go in by cloaking herself and no one would be any wiser or know she is there. They looked at her with worry unsure what was going on in her mind.

They let it settle for now but determined they were going to keep an eye on her even though Wade was doing a lousy job of it. He was too consumed with his own agenda to care for his so-called wife. Shelby was forming a plan in her mind and was no doubt going to do this on her own.

Shelby got ready for dinner as Wade had come into their room, he strolled into the bathroom stripping down and throwing his clothes into the corner. He entered the shower letting the warm water rush over his skin shampooing his hair then his body getting rid of the day's debris off him.

He walked out of the bathroom heading to the closet when he noticed Shelby standing out on their gigantic balcony. She was sniffing trying not to cry at what she saw today. He got dressed then went to her slowly approaching her, he encompassed his arms around her waist pulling her back into his chest.

He whispered in her ear; “Tell me love what is troubling you so much to bring you tears?”

“Nothing to concern you with. Tell me why are we exactly here together when you have a different suite than this one?”

He did not know how to answer this, but he had to answer her with truth. Here goes nothing he thought.

“Shelby, look at me please, I want your eyes on me when I tell you this, okay?”

She looked at him and shook her head yes, letting him know that she is willing to give him her undivided attention. He brough her over to the chair and sat her down. He took a deep breath in exhaling slowly. Wonder where to begin his story he figured he would start at the very beginning.

“When I was a little boy, my parents were killed and left me to fend for myself. There was a war amongst shifters and all paranormal. We were traveling out west, and we happened onto the war going on. We were caught in the middle without a way to get out. My parents his me very well and tried to ward them away from me.

“There were other humans around and one grabbed a hold of me and took me away. I remember seeing both my parents being torn apart by these big dogs that looked like wolves. I screamed but a hand went over my mouth to shut me up. Watching your family being torn apart by these so-called dogs was horrible to an eight-year-old child.”

She looked at him in the eyes while he told her his story. He continued; “One night while we were all asleep in the orphanage some people came in and pulled us all out of our slumber. There were some screams then seeing blood all over the place was something I could not handle.

“We were taken by boat to this island where we were kept as slaves or given to some families that could not have children. One day I had asked why were kidnapped and brought here. I was slapped and told to never ask that question again. Three years later I wanted to leave, and they refused, so they turned me.

“I did not know what happened, but I felt different, not alive but alive. I can breathe, my heart beats but in an unusual way. I craved blood and they helped me curve the blood lust I and many others had. I vowed to avenge my family's death and told my new family what I wanted to do.

“They trained me to fight and build strength and muscle. So, we made our way back to the mainland's and looked for packs, specially the one that took away my family and when we did, they were eradicated. I had my revenge and was ready to move on.

“However, the more children they wanted and brought here to raise, the more they want to take over the world. I do not like what they are doing but I am not a lord and am having a challenging time to take their commands.”

He gave her a nutshell of a story but knew eventually that he would have to kill or turn her since she is human, so he thinks. He watched her emotions placed over her face and in her eyes.

“Thank you for sharing but this does not explain any of my questions that I had asked. Why are do we have a fake marriage, what is the name of this island, do you have someone you are making jealous?”

“My, now parents whom one is a lord, wants me to find my mate, which I do have but I am going to reject her. They do not know any of this and would like to keep it this way.”

“Well tell them the truth and then move on, take your mate there is a reason for you two to be together. It is the moon goddess plans to pair you together, right?”

“Yeah, you're right, are there any hard feelings?”

She shook her head no, thanking Selene for this and he packed his things and she watched him, taking his clothes out of his suitcase. He did not know what to think of this behavior.

“I will move, you stay.”

“No, I have another suite that is my room here in the hotel. I own this place, so this is your suite to stay for how long you want. Call Jacob and have him stay here with you. It is on the house, no end time.”

With that he took his things and moved back to his apartment. She called Jacob explained what happened and he had talked to their gamma and other beta that were helping them out until Izzy and Orien comes back home. They were both against it so was alpha Reed but if this meant to get them closer to finding their loved ones then so be it.
