Nora


    This vacation is already proving to be a disaster.


    Leo summoned me a cute ck bikini and gave himself and ke these swimming trunks that...


    Honestly, what they are wearing leaves nothing to the imagination! Their asses look plump and tight, and half the female poption has already noticed! Leo, with his sandy, spiky blonde hair, is wearing white, and he also made sure to summon a shark tooth to hand around his neck. It gives him a surfer vibe.


    On the other hand, ke is wearing navy blue, and while he isn''t as extroverted as Leo, he also looks hot despite not smiling all the damn time like my other mate.


    I narrow my eyes. If Leo could stop beaming at everyone, that would be great. Because while it might be silly, I''m jealous.


    ke and Leo seem so maturepared to me. They are tall and built for the beach with abs for days while I''m this short little thing. I feel ridiculous and unworthy.


    And now my smoking hot mates will y volleyball with these werewolfdies and draw even more attention to themselves. Gah! Remind me why I let my mates y beach volleyball again?! Ugh, I''m so mad at myself!


    "So, are you sure you can go against us?" A woman with curves for days asks. She and her twin sister are the opponents. They are wearing ck swimsuits; unlike me, they have asses and breasts. "We are werewolves too and quite good at the game." "Oh, don''t worry," Leo grins confidently. "ke and I are going to win this for sure."


    ke fidgets. He seems ufortable with the idea of having to y volleyball and keeps ncing at me. "Eh... I''m still not quite sure what the rules are..." Leo snorts and looks over his shoulder. "It''s easy, ke. You hit the ball and try to hit the sand on their side of the. Don''t let the ball hit our sand, though."


    "Okay," ke hesitantly smiles. "Sounds easy enough..." he looks at me with concerned eyes. "Are you sure you don''t want to y with Leo, Nora? I think you have a higher chance of winning. I can sit on the sidelines and be rooting for you guys." One of the twins snorts and dismisses that idea with her hand. "Pssh, don''t let the little sister y. We actually want a challenge. It would be too easy to beat the shortie."


    Wait.


    What????!!!!


    Let me get this right. First, these werewolfdies flirt with my mates and ask them to y volleyball, and now they openly disrespect me in front of my men?! Uneptable!


    Leo tilts his head. "Oh, Nora isn''t our sister. She is actually our beautiful and gorgeous-"


    "How about you two sisters y against me?" I interrupt him. I''m already seething and on my way over to the volleyball. Once I''m there, I ster a fake smile on my lips. "What do you say? Two against one shouldn''t be that hard, right?"


    Leo and ke exchange a look with each other. I''m unsure what they think of this, but I''m burning up already. I''m so ready to defeat these sisters in a game of volleyball!


    "Uh, sure?" The twins smile at me. "But it doesn''t feel fair to beat up a little girl. Your big brothers wouldn''t actually pose a little more of a challenge. Though, if you''re sure..."


    "I''m more than sure," I deadpan. On the inside, I''m murderous, but I''m determined to not let it show. "Let''s y some f*****g volleyball!"


    ke and Leo visibly gulp and then get out of my way. They don''t offer any word of good luck, probably realizing I don''t f*****g need it. The twins, however, will require an ambnce after I''m done ying. I''m going to hit that ball so f*****g hard- "Okay, that''s enough," ke picks me up into his arms. I try to fight him, but his muscr arms tighten around me. "Nora, I think we should go and y in the waves instead."


    "Great idea," Leo says and beams at me. "If I feel more of your jealousy and anger through the mate-bond, I''m going to bite thosedy''s heads off. And we don''t want that."


    I freeze in ke''s arms and nce between them. "Oh... The mate-bond..." s**t, I had forgotten we can somewhat feel each other''s emotions through the bond now.


    "I''m sorry,dies," ke turns to face the twins. "But we will have to tend to our mate, so there won''t be any volleyball match."


    "Mate?!" The twins look distraught. "That little red-headed scar-faced thing is your mate?"


    Scar-faced?


    Ouch, that hurt.


    My insecurity hits me like a wave, and ke''s and Leo''s expressions immediately darken. I realize a little toote that they felt that switch in my confidence. Leo is already growling at the twins. "Apologize."


    The twins snort. "What?"


    "You heard him," ke''s eyes are glowing red. "Apologize or face the consequences."


    The twins make a "Pfft!" sound but whimper when ke takes a step closer with those unholy eyes of his. I''m not sure what magic he is using on them, but suddenly both the girls look horrified. "We are sorry!"


    "Very sorry!"


    "We didn''t mean what we said!"


    "Not at all!"


    "Please forgive us!"


    "And don''t hurt us!"


    I stare at the twins and sigh when I realize they are horrified. Geez. I think one of them even peed themselves. What a pain in the arse. ke might have scared them too much. "You''re forgiven..." I say. "Just... Just get out of my sight."


    The twins don''t question me and hurry away as soon as they are given permission. I roll my eyes. "Wow, ke... What the heck did you do to those two werewolves?"


    He peers down at me, smiling faintly. "I kind of showed them what hell looks like... Well, their version of it. It''s a power I''ve discoveredes with being a demon." "Oh..."


    "Yeah," ke tilts his head. "Are you alright, though?"


    Before I can respond, Leo is by my side too. "You realize those two werewolves were only jealous, right? That''s why they called you scarface, Nora. It was very immature of them."


    I swallow thickly and avert my eyes. "But true... My scar looks terrible, and I''m surprised you don''t mind it... Or maybe you do but choose to say nothing since we are mated." ke tips up my chin. "You''re mistaken. The scar is part of who you are, and you''re gorgeous with or without it."


    Leo nods. "I agree, but it saddens me that you don''t like the scar... Do you want us to try and heal it? I get it was a long time ago since you got it, but perhaps we could try?"


    I blink in surprise. "I''m touched that you would try... But I''m not sure if any magic would work... I mean, my mom tried, and Raphael has tried removing it too, yet nothing happened. Even Greta, a healer friend Reba knows, tried..." "Hm," ke sighs. "It might not be possible then, but it doesn''t hurt to try, right?"


    Leo meets my eyes. "Just know that no matter what, we still ept you. I couldn''t care less about any f*****g scar, though. You''re gorgeous, Nora. So damn perfect it hurts."


    "Perfect indeed," ke kisses my cheek, then rubs his nose against my skin, smiling when he notices me blushing. "I can''t believe you still get nervous around us... It''s cute." Leo grins. "Oh, is she blushing? Can I see?"


    When their curious eyes hover over me, and their smiles grow, I growl in frustration. "Stop staring at me!"


    "Impossible," ke chuckles. "I could stare at you all day."


    "Same here," Leo strokes his fingers over my arm. "Your skin is so soft... Say, what do you think about returning to the hotel?"


    I look between them. "Oh, are you tired of the beach already?"


    "No, but... I think we could have a lot of fun in our room," Leo winks at me with a dazzling smile. "We could do some of that bonding." "Bonding?" I question.


    To my surprise, even ke seems to know what Leo is talking about. He is wearing a very cryptic expression and smirks at me.


    "I agree with Leo here. I think we should head straight back to our room to do some of that bonding."


    "Uh, sure?" I''m a bit confused, but I trust them. "Why not?"
