I grabbed my binoculars from the ground and watched as she cuddled with him. What does she see in him anyway? We were currently lying on the grass being as discreet as possible.

"What's the update on her position now?" I asked one of the men behind me.

"Well, she was spotted with the male just about an hour ago but now they're both in the room. Visuals cannot be seen," one man explained to me.

"Any new additions to their group?" I asked still looking through my binoculars.

"No, sir. We have not spotted any new recruits," the same man responded to me.

"Dismissed," I said and then I heard them turning around to leave. Why did she even leave us? Leave her own team? She should have been here with me. Not with that stupid asshole. When she left, my whole world fell apart. Normally, I would have been used to waking up to her beautiful face, but now it's just...odd. We did that for two years straight and then out of the blue she just decides to leave like that. She didn't even tell me about it; I had t find out from that ass of an Alpha. Apparently, he wanted her too, but for a different reason.

Two years ago, it would be just me and her, sitting on our terrace watching the sunset. Sometimes, we would walk on the beach while we were doing it too. Then there were days when we would make love on the beach. When we first moved there, we even joked about this ritual that said we bless the house by making love in every room. God, I miss those days. I miss the times when I heard her laugh at my jokes. Or times when she would dress up just for me. Even the times when we would argue about little things and then made up and ended up making love each and every night. I just---

"Diego, one of them is on the porch," someone said as they rushed up to me, bringing me out of my thoughts. I sighed and shook those thoughts completely from my head. Business first. Daydreaming later.

I placed the binoculars in front of my eyes and watched as the girl ran out the door smiling. My girl. She looked happier than I've ever seen her in the time I've known her. I saw a boy ran after her then when he caught her, he spun her around while she giggled. He whispered something in her ear and I saw her nod then they both went running into the woods.

"Keep an eye on them. Make sure they don't see any of us or our equipment. We're not out here for them," I said turning around to the man. He nodded and was about to walk away to inform a few of his men when I called him back.

"Make sure to tell the men you send that they should mask their scents so they won't be detected," I reminded him. He nodded and went his way. If that bastard that ran away with my girl ever tries to touch her, I will personally cut his hands off.

"Hey Diego, are you alright? Your fists are clenched so bad, they're turning white," one of the tech guys came up to me and asked. I raised my head to look at him.

"I'm fine, have any of you heard from the Alpha?" I asked. Most of them shook their heads but one answered me saying 'yes'. I turned to him for him to continue.

"He basically said that we should hurry up and get her. He's not really all that patient, you know," he said. I narrowed my eyes at him.

"You're Philip, right?" I asked. He was the guy that was in charge before the Alpha gave me that role. He nodded and looked at me with confused eyes, though I could easily sense that he wasn't too fond of me.

"Yes, I am. Is there a problem?"

"No, no problem at all," I said to him then turned around when I heard laughter again. The same laughter from before. Her laugh.

"...Uhh, no I didn't really say that nor do I intend to," she said.

"Oh, come on," the guys whined, "please, please, please, please."

"No, end of discussion," she said her voice filled with amusement. They went up to the porch and the guy ran up behind her and grabbed her waist. He whispered in her ear and then trailed kisses down her jaw to her shoulder. My fists immediately clenched. Why can't he just keep his f*cking hands to himself? She tilted her head so he had more access and that's what broke my heart. They probably confused her feelings for me. What we really are. No matter what, she will always be mine.

She is mine.

Tomorrow night...

Natalya and I were still locked up in the room, but on nights like these, we weren't planning revenge on Hayden. Right now, we were playing Dress-Me-Up. The aim of the game is to find clothes from the closet, without looking at what you're pulling out, and basically tell the other to model in it. Points were gained if the clothes actually went together and matched right.

"Your turn!" Nat screamed at me. I grinned and got up out my seat making my way to the closet. Just in case we make a mistake and pull out a top plus another top, we spilt the closet in three. Closet one had V-necks, tank tops, lacy tops, pop-ups and all other sorts of blouses. Closet two had jeans, sweatpants, skirts, shorts...ok; I think you get the point. It's mainly bottoms. Last but not least, there was closet three which had different pairs of shoes. No matching pair was put together so you could find a red Christian Louboutin pumps beside a blue Converse slippers or an orange Lanvin ballerina flats beside a Liberty Nike-Blazer sneaker. So, picture all your shoes randomly mixed (and believe me, there were A LOT of shoes in there).

"Blindfold please," I said smiling evilly. Nat gave me the blindfold and the next round begun. I went to closet one and felt around the different types of material, not knowing what I was looking for. I came in contact with something made of...cotton, I think. Then I went over to closet two and felt for loose pants.

"Five more seconds, Zarasour!" Nat shouted. I laughed when she called me that. She always made up some weird names for me. Yesterday, I was Zaracethus.

Hey, don't look at me. She literally gave me that name.

I made my way over to closet three and picked up two different types of shoes then came out just in time. I dropped the clothes on the bed and the shoes on the floor, then undid the bow at the back of the blindfold.

"I'll be back," Nat said in the Terminator's voice while grabbing up the clothes. I laughed at her and dropped back on the bed covering my eyes. A rule that we made up is that we couldn't see what we picked out for our opponent. I really hoped that I gained some points right now, because somehow Nat is leading. Don't even think about asking me how she's leading in a game like this.

"I am back," Nat announced and I got up to look at her. When I saw what she was wearing, I laughed hysterically. She wore a navy blue Polka-Dot Halter top with orange Velour sweatpants and one foot covered with a pink slipper and the other foot with a black and gold Jamaican flats. She tried to look serious, but believe me she was failing because she saw me laughing so hard. She modeled in the clothes proudly, with a smile on her face, her hips swishing from side to side.

"Oh my gosh, I can't believe that's what I picked out," I said between my laughs. Then I reached over for my phone to record it.

"Well, you---hey, what are you doing?" she asked cautiously.

"What do you think I'm doing?" I asked her still chuckling at her ridiculous outfit.

"I swear to God, if you record this Zara, I will personally kill you," she threatened. I smiled innocently at her. Change of plans...

"Who said anything about me videotaping it?" I asked then quickly took a snap of her and made my way out of the room.

"ZARA!!!!"

.....................................................

I sighed and closed my eyes as the guys laughed at another joke coming from the TV. I t was quite sad actually because the jokes weren't even funny.

"ZARA!!!!!!" I heard Natalya shout from upstairs then some running. I turned around and saw Zara running down the stairs laughing with her phone in her hands. She ran right passed me and went to hide in the kitchen.

"Zara get your butt out here and give me the phone!" Natalya shouted. When I looked at her, I put my fist against my mouth to stop the escaping laughter. When she ran past the guys to the kitchen, they looked at her weirdly then popped up in laughter.

"Oh what are you laughing at asshole?!" she exclaimed to them then turned back to the kitchen.

"Zara, I swear to God if you don't give me the f*cking phone right now, I WILL kill you!" she screamed again. I scoffed at that. Yeah, like that's gonna happen...

"Not gonna happen Natty," Zara replied laughing, "the guys will not allow their leader to be injured!"

"Are you sure about that?" Nat asked then she ran forward to catch her but Zara ran out of the kitchen and ran behind James and Jonah. My fists immediately started clenching and so did my jaw.

"You shall not harm our Queen!" James stated dramatically as he stretched out his arms to 'protect' Zara. Natalya growled at him and Zara stuck out her tongue at her.

"Off with her head!" Zara imitated the Queen of Hearts from Alice in Wonderland. Natalya gasped.

"How dare you!"

"Guys, game's on!" Conner shouted as the football game came on and all the guys pushed the girls out of the way to sit and watched the game.

"What the hell guys! You're gonna make her catch me because of a stupid football game?!" Zara whined behind the couch slightly backing away as Natalya walked forward to her, her arm stretched out.

"This can all end if you give me the phone, Zara," she said still walking forward. She looked at all the guys in the couch and on the floor, not even looking at me. She sighed and gave up the phone, leading to Natalya smiling in victory.

"You know, you could have just asked the one boy that can't seem to take his eyes off you, for help you know," Nat said glancing at me and smiling amusingly.

"Nah, it was getting pretty lame since all the other guys started watching the game," Zara replied and then walked past me to go upstairs. I sighed putting my head in my hands.

"Don't worry, Hayden, she'll come around. I'm working on it," Nat said quietly to me and then followed her upstairs.

Is this what it's like to be heartbroken? Because man, it sucks...
