A Rogue For Four Alphas

Chapter Thirty One

I regret my decision to go to the mountain tops as soon as I climb into the truck with the four men. It's a big truck, but the men are big too, so I'm squeezed in the backseat between Alpha Erik and Alpha Iantrying not to think about their bodies that are pressed against mine. It's an impossible feat.

The dirty little secret I now share with Alpha ERIK is also making me uncomfortable. At least, I hope it's a secret; I haven't gotten any odd looks from the other men, so I assume he hasn't told them. I'm sure if Alpha Damonknew, I'd be made aware of his irritation.

During the ride, my phone buzzes in my pocket, but I ignore it, not wanting to read any messages with Alpha Ian and Erikl looking over my shoulders. I know what I'll see because a couple of texts came in before we left; my stalker has gotten an unusually early start today.

When we approach the mountain entrance, I start to feel like a kid again, some long-dormant excitement bubbling up inside me. The guys want to head right for the biggest thrill ride immediately transforming into their magnificent intimidating beast self, but I tell them I need to work up to it.

There are a couple of extreme sports that I definitely never seen been done here since when I was a kid, and they appear to defy the laws of physics. My stomach does flips just from looking at the tall, twisty twirls they are doing.

So, instead I pull the guys out of the the bumper cars, where I have a great time chasing and being chased by all of them. We were having fun climbing and jumping from tree to tree, all four of them gang up and surround me. It's pure, innocent fun, but the back of my mind can't help but draw parallels to fantasies I've entertained.

When the fun is almost over and I shape shapeshift giving the guys. Space as I tried to get dressed too.

My phone vibrates as I'm exiting the ride, and out of habit, I pull it from my pocket and scan the screen. It's the stalker again, but the word daughter mentioned, so I click to read more. What a mistake.

At least be a grateful daughter. I don't know where I went wrong with you. I don't understand why you don't answer me. I'm just asking for a simple favor. After all I did for you when you were growing up, and now you won't help me.

I shove my phone back in my pocket. "What's next?" I ask the guys. "How about this one?" I lead them over to a spinning tree branch that led us down to the base of the car, the coolest stunt I can pull as a rogue.

I end up on one end of a seat next to Alpha Damon and Harry, and when the ride reaches its speed, the force of motion squishes me against Damon. No matter how tightly I grip the handle on my other side, I can't keep from sliding into him. Eventually, laughing, I give in and spend the ride tucked under his arm, pressing into his chest with each back and forth turn.

Alpha Damon and Alpha Harry are laughing too, and for a moment, everything feels light and easy.

Then an insistent vibration draws me back to my phone when we're off the ride.

I put the phone to sleep. I probably should block her from ever contacting me, but I can't bring myself to do it out of curiosity.

"Ready for a coaster?" Alpha Ian asks, pulling me from my thoughts.

“Yeah, sure.” My fear has been replaced by a need to go fast and do something that feels dangerous.

"We'll start you out small," he says. "This old branch one is pretty tame."

"I think this is the one I went on when I was a kid," I say as we file into the line.

"I'm sitting with Jasmine," Alpha Damon. announces. He leans close and, in a quieter voice, adds, "If you get scared and need to hold my hand, you can."

While I've typically found him irritating, today he's in a playful mood and almost charming. I just laugh and swat him away.

I don't hold his hand, and I'm only scared on the first hill. After that, it's pure exhilaration, and I love every bit of it - the thrilling, fast curves, the tall peaks, and the wonderful weightless feeling of rushing down the hills. "Can we go again?" I say as soon as we step off.

Alpha Damon laughs, and even Erik smiles at my response, and the men indulge me, leading me back up for another go.

The second swing is even better than the first. I sit next to Alpha Harry, who keeps his hands up in the air, and whoops in excited delight during the best parts. When we pull back into the station, I feel happier and more alive than I can ever remember.

"Let's do something bigger," Alpha Ian suggests when we regroup past the ride's exit.

"Okay, but I need a restroom break first."

I spot one nearby, and as I head in that direction, my phone buzzes double time in my pocket. I should have ignored it. I should have known better.
