Eyes on the beach

Scott woke up from a long good night's sleep. He stared at his wild flowers that he placed in a glass of water on his side table. This is the first time that he received flowers for his dead parents. Diana's comforting words last night made him feel numb for a while, forgetting all the pain and anger he's been holding within.

So many things happened in one night, and he could hardly bear it all. He felt so much better opening up to his Luna, showing his most vulnerable state.

He smiled foolishly on the mere fact that Diana already imprinted on him as his heart started to beat normally now. He clutched on his shirt that Diana wore, and smelled it hard with one hand.

'I can't wait to make you mine', he thought before getting up to start the day.

LATER

The weather was perfect for some fun at the beach. All guests were encouraged to lounge in the west coast of the island and swim in the designated swimming area there. The shoreline was surrounded by the same cabanas with sheer curtains, brown lounge chairs and white beach umbrellas.

Diana, who was still shaken from the fortune telling session she had with Emilia, dragged herself out because she doesn't want to sulk in her bungalow all day. 'Maybe some crowd would distract me', she thought.

On the other hand, Scott was in a very good mood to hang out with the pack. Wearing black sunglasses, they were all topless looking like eye candy men for all the ladies in the shore. The ladies can't help but giggle and steal glances at them. Occupying some lounge chairs, the boys enjoyed the warm heat of the sun with some beers and oysters.

"Someone's in a good mood", Cory, the smallest and most talkative one in the pack blurted out as he grinned.

"Can't you tell? The Luna imprinted on him yesterday", Allen, the biggest and most serious member of the pack said while drinking his beer.

"Alpha Scott even got flowers from her yesterday", Austin, the one with a scar on his eyebrow, said as he try hard to hide his laugh. "I've always thought you're not a flowery type of guy, Alpha", as he burst in laughter uncontrollably.

"Who said I'm not", Scott irritably threw some sand on Austin's body.

"So when are we going to meet her?", Cory asked gazing at Scott.

Before Scott could even answer, all eyes turned to the woman wearing a big straw hat with a thick black ribbon, black bikini with gold chains and a long black wrapped up skirt.

"Eyes on the beach boys", Scott hissed as he clenched his jaw. He noticed Diana was in a daze, not minding anyone around her as she settled in one of the lounge chairs, not too far from them.

"That's our Luna", Lucas said as he slurped on an oyster. "Fresh… and delicate", he clinked bottles with Austin and David with a wink.

Standing nearby was Christina who rolled her eyes at the sight of Diana. She noticed Diana have caught the attention of the pack. So she and her friends tried to steal the show by flaunting their curves in brightly colored thong bikinis and cut-out monokinis blocking the view towards Diana.

"Here's comes trouble", Lucas said as he choke on his beer.

"I think I'm gonna puke", Cory said as he fake puke on Austin.

Diana minding her own business, removed her hat and wrapped up skirt, revealing her flawless skin and gold chained bikini. She fixed her bikini in place before putting on some sun block lotion starting on her arms then on her legs. Meanwhile, Christina asked Scott to put lotion on her. Scott acted like he didn't hear.

Scott felt uncomfortable as he catch glimpses of Diana putting some lotion. He breathe deeply and pursed as he exhale. He cleared his throat and tried to move his gaze away. In his mind, he wanted to poke out the eyes of all the men who have seen her this way. 'It would be nice if I'm the only one who gets to see that tattoo', moving his gaze to her dream catcher tattoo.

Diana carefully walked on the warm sand going to the beach. Then she slowly proceeded in the water until it's chest deep. She closed her eyes tasting the saltiness of the ocean breeze and feeling the current of the ocean waves. Diana dived and swam in the cold ocean water. As for Christina, she can't swim so she just stayed at the shoreline.

Scott felt uneasiness in his heart, he knows something's wrong. 'What happened, Diana?', Scott thought.

A few minutes after, Diana got out of the water. Immediately, a female island attendant gave Diana a blue and white striped beach towel for her to dry and cover up. She wrap it around her waist.

"Nicely done, Scott. I didn't see that coming", Lucas said with a slow clap. He knew Scott won't just sit around and let the men's prying eyes party on his Luna. The pack couldn't help but wave to Diana, except for Scott, as she walk by. Diana furrowed her brows and ignored the weird boys who waved at her.

Sitting back on the lounge chair, Diana was drying her hair with her hands and wore her cover up skirt. She sat down as she stared at the waves in the ocean.

"A… penny for your thoughts?", William sat on the lounge chair beside her as he smiled.

"Do I know you?", Diana said as she covered up with beach towel.

"I'm … William, do you remember? At the… bar?", William said as he moved forward showing his face.

Diana noticed his eyes are dilated and his body language is a bit off. 'He's high', she thought.

"Oh yes, How could I forget", as Diana maintained a proper distance from him.

"I just want to apologize…. about the… uhh.. way I treated you last.. time", William said with grin. "You see, my friends and I … had a bet and…. they dared me let you… put lotion on my back? Is… that okay?", he said as he took my lotion in front me.

"Well then, you should pay the bet up. Because I won't be part of your games", Diana bravely said.

"Is he bothering you?", Scott stepped in between Diana and William., taking off his sunglasses.

"I… was just talking..oh umm.. apologizing to her, bro", William said squinting as he could hardly look up at Scott.

"I guess, you're done talking.", Scott said clenching his fist as he give a death stare to William. Without a word, William left waddling and scratching his head.

"I got that", Diana said as she sat upright.

"I know", Scott replied as he sat in front of Diana on the same lounge chair she is sitting on. He was definitely showing everyone around that the lady with the sapphire eyes is his.

"I'm here to collect your third debt", Scott suddenly said.
