Chapter 24

"What?" I asked, but was stopped as I heard someone running from in front of me.

"Will!" Luke called before tackling me. My buŧŧ hit the walkway as he wrapped his legs around my waist and his arms around my neck. He squeezed into me as he took his chance and slipped his tongue into my mouth. He began intertwining our tongues as he mȯȧnėd.

"Hey!" Cam yelled as Luke finally released me.

I coughed as I fought to get back to breathing and looked to Pete as he walked over.

He nonchalantly had his hands in his suit pant pockets while smiling at me. "For the record, I was able to hold him back for a couple minutes."

Luke gave a glare to Cam, "oh yeah, your the Omega pȯrn star." He smiled although he still clung onto me, "nice to meet you, I'm Luke."

"Are you trying to kill me?" I ġrȯȧnėd as Luke let go of my neck and sat regularly on my ŀȧp.

"Sorry! I just was so excited to see you!"

"We've been going to the gym every day at the same time as last time. Luke was getting discouraged you moved on."

Luke smiled at me, "as if Will could find better than us."

"You're heavy," I ġrȯȧnėd and Luke got off me. He helped me to my feet as Cam rushed over to my side.

"Who the fuċk are you?"

Luke looked to Cam and then back to me, "you said you'd come by the club! It's been over a week!"

"Cam," I said as I felt him raging over being ignored by Luke, "this is Luke and Pete. We used to work together."

"I guess we have that trait in common with you, pȯrn star."

"Pete," I growled, "stop acting like a child. You're a Beta for gods sake!"

"So you two are the ones Will talked about."

Pete and Luke gave a glare to Asher as he moved between Cam and I before holding my hand. "Thank you for taking care of him."

"Who are you?"

I sighed as I knew shit was about to get way more awkward, "This is my mate," I replied as they both froze. "We got engaged recently so I haven't had a lot of free time."

Pete smirked, "don't bullshit me."

Asher held up our joined hands to show the ring on my finger, "It's true."

"When the hell did that happen?" Pete hissed as he went to Luke's side. His nonchalant behavior hand now evolved into pure rage.

"Last Tuesday."

An evil smile came to Pete's face. Shit. "So you had a threesome with us and then got engaged the same day? You sly fox."

Asher's hand squeezed mine as I saw Cam's ears turning red. Luke's face turned equally as wicked as he leaned down towards Cam, "I taught him all those techniques he used on you."

I shoved Asher off of me and went between Luke and Cam, "Alright, that's enough." I yelled as I looked to all four of them. "You're all acting like a bunch of morons!" I sighed, "yeah, we messed around," I stated as I looked to Luke and Pete, "but I'm serious with him. And I told you both that I'm in love with Cam." I stared them down, "we've had fun, but you are mates. It's time for me to get one too."

Luke sighed, "Fine." He came over and kissed my cheek, "call us when you feel like having fun."

Pete stared down Asher, "if you hurt him, you will have to deal with us."

Asher smirked, "I will keep that in mind."

Luke and Pete finally walked off as I sighed. I turned back to Asher, "maybe we should've gone home earlier."

"You don't look so good," Cam whispered as he came over to me.

I shrugged off his hand as he tried to touch me, "sorry," I whispered as I covered my mouth, "I need to get going. I'm really not feeling good."

Cam kissed my cheek, seeming to try to try to cleanse me of Luke's touch. "I"ll contact you later." He looked back to Asher, "take care of him, for all of us."

Asher came to my side and I leaned into him as I felt weak. "Be safe on your way home." Asher said with a slight smile before putting am arm around my waist.

He aided me walking as he carried the bag in his other hand. We went back to the car and Asher put me into the passenger's seat. He got into the driver's seat before leaning over to me.

"What can I do?"

I smirked before touching his cheek. I gently put my lips on his and he leaned closer to me. He licked my lips once before I lightly bit his tongue. He growled slightly before thrusting his tongue into my mouth. He grabbed the back of my neck so that we were pulled as close as possible. I opened my mouth up eagerly as he moved his tongue around mine. He began suċkɨnġ on my lips and tongue, each time making me shudder and mȯȧn. After a few minutes of aggressive making out, I pushed him away slightly, "let's go home to finish this."

He gently kissed me before starting the car. I leaned into the seat as I felt exhausted and nauseous but also extremely aroused.

Why didn't I realize what great this guy by my side was? I should have noticed before it was too late. Maybe we could have been happy and together for life. I smirked sadly to myself. Nothing in my life was ever that easy; why expect it now?

I was brought out of my thoughts as I felt Asher tense up. His eyes darted between the side and rearview mirrors. His fingers were tapping the steering wheel as he seemed anxious.

"What's wrong?"

He didn't look to me as his eyes kept darting between the mirrors and the road, "I think we are being followed."

I sat up and looked through the back window. There were multiple cars around us. "Which one?"

"The black SUV." He looked to me for only a moment, "I thought I was being paranoid at first but I have gone out of my way to go in a route that makes no sense to follow. I keep back tracking and changing between city and town streets. They haven't gotten further than three cars away."

"Did something happen at the bar?" He shook his head, "then why would someone follow us?"

Asher tensed further, "I can only think of one person." I looked to him with further confusion. What was I missing, "that Alpha."

I felt fear rush through me while my body ached, "Why would he follow us? He doesn't even know where I am."

Asher's grip tightened, "that Omega."

I scowled, "he wouldn't. Neither would Pete and Luke. It's got to be a coincidence. A lost tourist or something."

"Something in my gut says its not." Asher let out a nervous sigh, "we should go to the bar. No one can get in without my say so, especially before it opens. Also, there would be no reason for them to go there so it would prove if I'm right or wrong."

I quickly got out my phone and dialed, "Hunter?"

"What's wrong? Are you okay?"

"We're fine. But..." I let out a deep breath, "either Asher has lost him mind or we have a big problem."

"What the hell are you talking ahout?"

"He thinks we're being followed." I paused as Hunter absorbed the information. "To be cautious, we're going to the bar to hunker down."

Hunter let out a rough sigh, "alright. I will meet you there."

"No!" I insisted and heard Asher and Hunter catch their breath. "That could make the situation worse. Go home and we will work this out."

Hunter paused, "alright. But keep me updated."

"Will do," I replied before hanging up. "Will anyone be there at this time?"

Asher nodded as he got closer to their safe haven, "Vance and some of the main staff should have gotten there about an hour ago." He suddenly took my hand and squeezed it, "I need you to follow everything I say. I'm getting really worried."

I nodded, "I will do my best." As we reached the bar, Asher dropped me off by the front interest with his keys. When I got in, he went to park the car in the lot. I was surprised to see Connor and Ken stop their work behind the bar.

I heard someone knock on the door and froze. "It's me, Will." I quickly opened the door with relief to see Asher. I was not quite sure why, but I felt pure safety and relief with him inside. He rushed to lock the door and took my hand. "Vance!" He hollered in pure strength along with fear. It surprised everyone, including me. Asher's normal sternness to his employees and kindness to me did not connect to him now.

Vance came rushing over, "no one is allowed in the building without my word. Not even the workers."

I saw his face turn to fury and desperation. Why was he doing this? "Ash," I whispered as he looked to me, "we aren't even sure what's going on yet. We don't have to lock down the place."

His face turned to pure worry as he embraced me, "my gut is never wrong. They are following you and have something to do with that Alpha."

"Nobody would betray me and tell him anything. There's no way he is sending people to me."

Ken came over and put a glass of water in front of me, "you look really ill," he whispered as Asher sat in the seat beside me. His hand took mine again.

I took a large drink of the water as Ken and Conner watched us. I leaned over and rested my head on Asher's shoulder, "I feel like shit."

"Hopefully we can go home soon."

"Boss," Connor whispered as we both looked to him, "what in the world is going on?"

As I sat back up, I saw the scowl Asher gave Connor. He looked like he may kick his ȧss. "It's alright, Ash," I said as I squeezed his hand. They all looked to me as I gave a sad smile. "You trust them, right?" He nodded but looked to me quizzingly, "they cant help if they don't know."

"You sure?"

I nodded before looking to the bar top, "have you heard of destined partners?"

I met eyes with Connor as his face angered. Clearly he thought Asher was my partner. At least I would make his day.

"Well I have one," I whispered, "and he's not Asher. He's a dominant Alpha."

Ken and Connor looked like I gutted them as they looked from me to Asher.

I smiled to Connor, "you guessed right, Connor. I am a man whore." I chuckled, "and I'm sure you heard those Omegas. I was a pȯrn star." I scratched my head to hide my flooding eyes, "I got rȧpėd on set by that Alpha." I sighed deeply, "it took us by surprise when we realized destined partners are a real thing. I certainly didn't believe in them. Luckily I have hidden from him for a few weeks now."

"When we were on our way home a little bit ago realized we were being followed.. I think it is by someone related to that Alpha."
