His Blue Moon Princess
His Sunshine Baby Chapter 57

I climb the stairs up, as fast as I can, I'm in too much of a hurry and rage to bother with the damn elevator. I'm exhausted but certainly not any inch less furious when I get there.

"What the f**k, Narcissa?"

I'm angry beyond words. She's still standing in my flat's entrance, looking unconcerned by what just happened. What the f**k is she even doing at my place! The timing couldn't have been worse with Elena, too! But she rolls her eyes, putting a folder in front of my face. "I was tired of you avoiding me. Do you know how long I've tried to get you to sign these?"

"You can't f*****g show up at my place like that! How did you even get in?"

"I got your digit code after harassing your Beta. That, and maybe a bit of using my charm on your concierge, too."

I really need to say a word about security. And what the hell was Isaac thinking!

"Narcissa, you have no right to be here!"

"Don't f*****g unleash on me, Nathaniel. You should have been a man earlier and spoke to me. And who was that anyway? Since when do you care about your s*x friends making scenes?" "Elena isn't...!"

But I stop before ending that sentence. I don't even want to be discussing this! Especially not with Narcissa, of all people! I still can't believe what happened. Elena must think I'm a f*****g jerk! And cheating on her, too! Narcissa scoffs, gauging my reaction.

"What...? Don't tell me, Nate, you're serious about that girl, aren't you? For real?" She asks, shocked.

I give her a glare as an answer, and barge in my own place. I need a drink... I'm f*****g pissed, exhausted and disgusted. I open the minibar in a hurry, looking for my favorite whiskey.

"I'll have one too, thanks..."

"You can help yourself," I growl at her.

She sighs while I drink, and heads to pour herself a glass anyway. She's always acted like this anyway, I don't care anymore.

"It's a first.... Seeing you angry like this. You're always the good Black Brother, usually, aren't you? Even with the Boss' mate, Nora was it?"

"If you have a point, Narcissa, get to it fast."

"Oh, come on, don't be mad at me. Looks like you and the blondie had issues anyway. Bad timing. Where is she from anyway? She's from... A different pack, isn't she?"

"None of that is your business, Narcissa!"

She growls back.

"Hey, don't be mad at me. You f****d up on your own, Nate. You should have talked to me earlier, like an adult, not a kid covering up his mistakes."

"We only had s*x a few times, don't think it means anything."

Narcissa looks at me as if I was mad, and rolls her eyes again. I hate when she has that mighty attitude.

"Take it down, Nathaniel. I never said I was feeling anything for you. I'm a grown woman, not a teenage girl trying to tie you down. Yes, the s*x was good, but I would have freaking let it go if you didn't just ghost me out of the blue! What was it, too embarrassed about me? Or because I found out the truth? Was that it?"

Since when is she the one in a position to scold me? I don't need her damn rant now! I just want to be alone, drink and contemplate what an i***t a*****e I am! But of course, Narcissa just won't let it go so easily. Oh, no, she's way too proud for that, and I hurt that proud woman's feelings trying to avoid her.

"You need to f*****g grow up, Nathaniel."

"And you need to move on, Narcissa. Stop looking for me and..."

"You're still my Boss, as far as I'm concerned. Don't f*****g send me to Isaac just because you want to avoid me! And your b***h of a secretary, too, I'm done with her attitude. If you don't want us to stay friends, fine. You're enough of an i***t for me to go on with my life without you. I got plenty of other fishes to fry. But at least do your job properly and don't ignore our work-related issues just because of some blondie!"

"I didn't ignore you because of Elena!"

"Oh, that I know. You ignored me because I found out about your stupid secret and you didn't want to hear about it. But then, you kept going on, probably because you met that girl and I became too much of an annoyance to you. Would it have been too hard to just let me know? Instead of playing dead from then on? Seriously, Nate?"

Great, now I'm getting two fights in one day. Elena is mad at me, Narcissa is mad at me and I'm wrong for both. I know she's not wrong, but back then, it wasn't like that to me. Narcissa was f*****g clingy and too important in my pack to ignore. Only that I was afraid of Elena replaceing out about my relationship with her, so I tried to bury it. Now I get it, that was a d**k move.

Narcissa throws her folder on my couch, annoyed.

"I didn't want to get here, Nate, but that was my last resort. Honestly, I'm sorry you messed up with your girl, but the blame isn't on me. Now you better sign these, because if I have to go through your secretary again, I'm biting that b***h's head off. Just email them when you're done. Bye."

And with that, she grabs her bag and storms out. I pour myself another glass of whiskey. This has to be the shittiest day ever. First Elena, and now Narcissa giving me one hallelujah of a scolding... Since when did things go wrong? I replay both disputes in my head.

I know, I should have reached out to Elena sooner. I shouldn't have jumped to conclusions. But she was wrong too! Why does she have to play pretend with that guy, when she's got me right there! That picture drove me f*****g crazy. Because that guy was good- looking, and the way he was looking at Elena was f*****g obvious. He loves her.

I don't give a damn about who is he. What kind of man lets his woman do that with another guy? I just can't! I've never been the slightest jealous, but when it comes to Elena, I'm the craziest a*s there is. I don't want men to look at her. I know how beautiful she is. I know how she makes men feel, with her effortless charm, her body, her attitude. Wherever I take her out, it's the same. She gets stares, and she doesn't notice, or maybe she's used to it.

But I just can't. I want her, all to myself, without any jerk or ex to compete with. Why the f**k did she have to go and kiss that guy!! I'm even madder because deep down, I know what that really means.

Elena can't count on me.

Because of our packs, because we're too different, because that would mean way too many problems. It's like she said, we have a million reasons not to be together. It's already a miracle that Damian is turning a blind eye on this.

The worst thing is, a guy like that Levi would be f*****g perfect for her. He looks like a nice, good guy, childhood friend and all. Her best friend's brother and all. Why can't it be me?

I wish I could throw it all away, and be with her in the open. I'm so selfish... Moon Goddess, I really could do that. Elena is the one always keeping me at bay, being the reasonable one. I f*****g hate that.

Moon Goddess, I messed up big time. I should have just asked her instead of playing dead as I did with Narcissa. She's right, I'm a f*****g child. And a jerk. Both. Who cares...

I pour myself a new drink, and it's the end of my Whiskey. Shit... How much did I actually drink since earlier? I do feel a bit sick.

I grab my phone. I have to apologize to Elena. Explain to her that nothing happened with Narcissa.

I struggle to replace her number. f**k, why do I feel so dizzy already... When I finally hear the ringing tone, it's not the expected voice.

"Hello, this is Daniel Lewis, her best and oldest friend. First, Elena is not available at the moment and she won't be for a while. Second, Levi is my older brother and no, there is nothing Elena has done with my brother that she should apologize for. Third, if you're cheating on my Babe with another b***h, you're an a*s and you don't deserve her. Fourth, she has enough with her jackass ex to deal with, so don't be a pushy jerk and deal with your s**t before coming back to her. I'm done, so don't call back. Bye and have a nice day."

...What the f**k?

I stay stunned for a while. Why the hell did he answer in her stead? She's really ignoring me? For real? I try to call again. I really have to speak to her...

"The number you have dialed is currently unavailable. Please try again later."

Moon Goddess, did she really block me? Seriously?

I just can't believe it!

"Moon Goddess, it stinks in there... Hey Nate? You okay, mate?"

I growl a bit, annoyed. What the hell... I struggle to open my eyes, and see Isaac's face in the middle of the fog. My best friend sighs.

"You don't look good, Nate. Seriously, how much did you drink...?"

I see him rummaging through something, and sounds of glass clinking annoy me. Damn, what's with the damn headache... I try to bury my head in the cushion, or whatever it's underneath, but I replace myself uncomfortable anyway. "Man, you stink. And stop growling, too, your wolf is stressing me out. Hey, can you sit?"

I didn't even realize I was growling... I struggle to distinguish the top from the bottom. Seriously, this headache is killing me. I feel like vomiting too. Or maybe it's just the smell? Isaac is making a weird face and helping me sit up.

"Hey, here we go, vertical position. Not bad, for a guy who had... Well, from what I can see, at least one and a half bottle of whiskey by himself... Man, you just drank four hundred dollars' worth by yourself and you call me your best friend? Hey, you hear me?" "I hear you..." I sigh.

"Good. I don't wanna visit the ER today. Here, drink that."

He gives me some big bottle of water and a pill. My stomach is a mess, I don't feel like taking anything now. Isaac insists a bit, and to my surprise, I actually manage to take a few gulps down, pill included.

"Good job, mate. Feeling better?"

"I feel like vomiting..."

"Huh, don't, please, you know I can't handle that. But here, let me take you to the bathroom. A cold bath could do you some good, okay?"

I don't really know how he manages to take me all the way there and help me in the tub. And get me half-naked too. With cold water sprinkled on me, I wake up completely, though I still feel like barfing. "What happened?" I mumble.

"Huh, you kind of scared me. Liam called me because he couldn't reach you, and I remembered about Narcissa's scene in my office, so I tried to call you, link-mind you, all the usual stuff. No Nate answering, so I panicked a bit and came here. I mean, I'm not against a little drink, but you kind of overdid it, mate."

"What time is it?"

It might seem weird to ask this now, but I hate that feeling of being disoriented, and even though I know my location, Isaac's clothes changed, so I know something's wrong.

"About eleven, middle of the night. I know you had a dispute with both Elena and Narcissa yesterday, so... Well, I could have come sooner to check you hadn't been killed by one of your ex-s*x friends, but I thought you might be, you know, in bed with one of them." Damn, I want to kill him right now. Is that supposed to be funny?

"Sorry, sorry. I just don't get to see you like this often... All right, man, you can shower, I'll bring you some clothes that don't stink and then you can tell me how bad that was. I feel like I'm going to love it."

I would sell any of my properties to see that stupid grin of his go away. Seriously... I try to sober up as I can, with a long and cold shower. It gets a bit better with the smell of soap and a good cleaning, actually. I can't believe I let myself go like this... Thank Moon Goddess Damian has no idea.

Isaac found me an old pair of jeans and a t-shirt to put on. I'm still damn hangover but at least I look the part for now. I drink a full bottle of water before I can finally sit down and focus on something other than sobering up. Isaac is grinding non-stop. "Man you must have really messed up to waste yourself like this... All right, you talk and I'll make you something to eat and sponge your drown liver with. You got anything in there?" He says while opening my fridge.

Finally, I tell Isaac everything while he's making some pasta. The latest about my relationship with Elena, how I learned about that picture, and yesterday's events, with Narcissa's showing up at my flat and the dispute with both Elena and Narcissa. When I'm done, he sighs and pushes a plate of simple pasta with grated cheese in front of me. Funnily, I wasn't hungry at all before but now... I grab a fork and start eating.

"I had no idea about the picture. I mean, none of us did it... Damian really isn't investigating her anymore, neither am I. But seriously, her best friend's brother?"

"I said the same thing. Of all people..."

"No, I mean I get why she would need a decoy, but seriously, the guy deserves a medal if he knows all about you, her ex and still is willing to go along with it. Or maybe it's actually his best opportunity... Or he's just a good guy. Like, super good guy." I glare at him. Seriously? Do we have to discuss the guy's goodwill, of all things?

"Hey, easy on the angry Alpha aura Nate, I'm just thinking out loud. But you know, she's not really wrong, your couple is kind of impossible, to begin with. And from what I know, Elena is super thick-headed. I say it as a compliment though." "Do you have anything helpful to say?"

"Not really. You did mess up pretty bad, man. Not entirely your fault, but still. And yes, Narcissa's timing sucked..."

"Why did you gave her my f*****g digit code!"

"Wow, easy man, I didn't!'

I frown. What? Isaac shakes his head and grabs a fork to steal some of my pasta.

"I forgot to tell you after listening to all of your three-season drama, but it came to me when you said it. I didn't give anything to Narcissa, Nate. I haven't heard from her in days, actually. And certainly not your digit code!" Then how the hell did she get it...?
