(Chapter song ‘Feel So Close’ by Calvin Harris)

ANNA

Big day. The move from the barracks to the Alpha dorms. I didn’t think I could do it. I didn’t even think I wanted it, but here I am, with bag in hand about to walk into my own, quiet room. God, finally, some peace and quiet.

“Anna, right?”

I turn at the sound of my name. There’s a shorter, brown haired girl, a tiny blonde girl and a red head walking toward me.

“Yeah. That’s me.” I smile as I drop my bag to my side.

“We’re your neighbors. We heard you’d be moving in. I’m Emily. This is Carmen and Casey. I guess you could call us the welcome wagon.” She grins.

“Well, I certainly feel welcome.” I chuckle.

“We're communications. So, if you need help with lights, or computer stuff, we're your girls.” Ok this girl maybe way too happy for me.

“Thank you. I should unpack.” I point to my door.

“Right. Well, our doors are right across the hall here. Feel free to hang out if you like.” She gives a little wave and they all enter the door across from mine.

I shake my head a bit and walk into my room.

I stand with my hand on my hips. Looking around my little, white, stagnant, military room. There’s a double bed, a brown dresser and an average closet. The window overlooks the training field.

I sigh. So much better than the barracks. It may be small, but finally have my own space. I also get my phone back.

Before I was assigned, I was given a quick tour of the dorms when I arrived Monday morning. Aside from everyone being more informal, we're also allowed more civilian clothes and more functional uniforms like shorts and tanks instead of just pants.

I'm unpacking my clothes and piling them up on my bed when I hear a low, hungry growl behind me.

I look over my shoulder to see River leaning on the open-door frame. Arms and legs crossed, smirking.

I stand and turn around. "Don't you growl at me mister." I wag my finger at him.

He walks in. "I can't help it. That ass of yours just has my wolf going wild."

He grabs me and pulls me into him. "Need some help?"

I pull away, going back to unpacking clothes. "No. I think I got it. I mean, it's not like I got a lot here." I chuckle.

He looks around. "Hmm...Guess we need to dress this up a bit, huh?"

"I'll work on it." I saunter over to him. "So, to what do I owe this pleasure?" I gaze up at him.

He gazes back, wrapping his arms around my waist again. "Nothing. Just wanted to see my baby girl before she had to report for duty."

I furrow my brow. "Yeah, what's happening with that anyway?"

"Well..." He started rocking me side to side. "I was thinking…maybe…you could be a trainer...with me." He grins.

I arch a brow. "Isn't that a bit much? I'm mean living together, working together. Won't you get sick of me?"

He shakes his head fast. "Me get sick of you? Never! How could I ever get sick of such a smoking hot babe?" He kisses my neck.

“Mmm…There’s that Security Unit respect I’ve come to admire.” I giggle. He chuckles and nips my ear.

We're interrupted by a knock on the door. "Ok, lovebirds. We have work to do." Blade is standing there with Franco and Greg.

River pulls back. "Ready?"

I blow out a breath. "Yeah."

He lets me go and leads me out. All five of us headed to the field.

My training isn't quite done. We all have about two weeks left, but this time it will be different. We will be training according to rank. Alphas taking more leadership roles. The others will learn their places in combat.

The group is smaller now. Down to about forty ranked members. The border agents have been taken to be placed in their border units at Ops.

We all stand in formation with the Alphas in their usual spots in front of us.

River stands front and center. "Welcome back ranking members."

"Good morning, Sir!"

"Morning." He paces. "Now. First, congratulations to you all. You've earned it." He stopped. "But now isn't the time to get lazy. Now's the time to learn your rank and your role here with the unit. Most of you will be headed to the Operations Unit. So, we will be working on actual combat simulations. This may mean live rounds, so you need to have your skills straight and your mind sharp. Everything you've learned will be needed in actual combat. Make us proud."

He nods to Zeke.

Zeke steps forward. "Alright. Our first exercise will be sparring, but this will be a full contact, group spar. You'll be divided into two groups. This is an open battle. You'll have to maneuver and fight your way through to the other side. Once you're at the enemy's marker, you're safe. If your down, you're dead. The team with the most survivors or the first fighter to touch the enemy's marker will win. Any questions?"

He was met with silence.

He clapped his hands. "Ok. Divide into two equal teams."

We all decided to make sure both sides were filled with equal strength.

Twenty on each side with each rank having as close to equal ranks as possible.

We stood on the field with about forty yards between us.

River blew his whistle and we all charged toward each other in a Battle Royale. All of us trying to push through to the other side.

Franco and I were side by side. Punching and jabbing our way through the rising chaos. Fists fly and bodies fly farther.

I spun around Davis. Hit Chris with an uppercut. I rescued Fiona from a headlock and dropped the girl that had her.

I was about to attack a guy named Brad when Franco yelled "Anna! On your back!"

I spin to see Jacob rushing at me. I dodge his punch, grab his shoulders and knee him in the gut. He goes down hard.

I spin back around to replace an opening. I run for it when I'm clotheslined by Sienna. I'm on the ground, choking and coughing. "Sorry Alpha. You're dead." She smirked and ran off.

I groan and lay there while I catch my breath.

In the end, Franco took the win. He was beat up, but he never went down and he busted through to get the marker.

"Well done!" River came down clapping. "Great work. I think that was the best fight yet. Some of you still need a bit of work." He eyes me and I squint at him. "But you tried. You gave you're all and that's what we like to see."

We all compose ourselves and clean ourselves up.

Blade came up behind River. "Alright, hit the showers and see you at lunch."

Busted and bruised, we all scramble to the barracks. River slings his arm around me. "That was a good try." He said.

"Ugh. I can't believe I got clotheslined." I rub my neck.

He smiles. "It happens. You hungry?"

"Starving." I say.

We get to the dining hall and for the first time, my fantasy gets to come true. I get to sit with River. Out in the open. Where everyone can see us. The Alphas moved to our table because it's bigger. Now that our little group has grown in friends and Alphas. River sits in between me and Blade. Fiona and Davis are across from me.

Jacob leans over. "You all get your invites yet?"

Fiona bounces. "I got mine!" She beams. "What about you, babe?"

Davis shrugs. "I didn't get a chance to check, but my mom said something came for me that looks official, so it might be."

Fiona grabs his arm. "Oh, I hope so. I want to go to the ball with you."

"You will, baby." Davis mumbles on her lips then kisses her.

It's so cute. Fiona and Davis became a thing last week. I'm so happy for her.

Sienna pops her head out from around Jacob. "Girls, we need to go shopping for dresses."

River whips his head around to me. "Something sexy." He wiggles his brows.

I slap his arm. "It's a ball. You don't wear a bar dress to a ball."

He pretends to pout. "But I love the bar dresses."

I smirk. "No."

"You're no fun." He goes back to his sandwich.

I turn to Zeke and Blade. "You guys got dates?"

Blade drops his crust. “I don’t know. Though a few girls from Comms moved in last week. Ones actually pretty cute." He smirks.

River arches a brow. "Is Mr. Loving thinking about settling down?"

Blade chuckles. “Let me get a name first."

I pick up some food. “They moved in across from me. I’ll introduce you.”

He smiles big. “Thanks, Anna." He leans to River. “Have I told you how much I like her?”

River snorts. “Only because she helps you get laid.”

I smack River’s arm.

“Ow! What did I say?” He holds his hands out.

“Be nice.” I point at him.

“That was being nice.” He leans to me and kisses me

"Me too.” Zeke leans to see me. “I could use a number.”

“Sure. I'll introduce.” I nod and put some chicken in my mouth.

River turns to me. "I think we started something." He winks and I laugh.

Blade slaps Franco’s shoulder. "What about you Frank?"

He shrugs. "I don't know. Rayne's cute and all. We've gone out a couple times, but I'm just not feeling it."

River leans over. "Well, are you going to the ball?"

Franco picks up his sandwich. "I might. Maybe my hottie will be there."

"Just go anyway. We can't party without you." I say.

"True." He says smugly and the table chuckles.

The conversation continues about the ball and the rest of the training.

Once lunch is over, we have the afternoon training session which is more combat moves. It's more pairing types and some sparing with the Alphas to hone our skills.

After, we hit the showers, have dinner and turn in.

I just finish getting ready for bed when my door opens and River slips inside. He leans his back on the door, closing it behind him. He has that look in his eye.

"Come here." He crooks a finger, smiling.

I walk over to him and he grabs me whipping me around, pinning me between his body and the door.

He slams his lips to mine and bruises them with a hungry kiss.

He slips a hand under my tank top to my bare breast. Squeezing it and twisting my nipple.

I moan into his mouth. He backs us up toward my bed, pulls his shorts off and breaks apart long enough to pull off his t-shirt.

He rips my tank and shorts off like it’s a timed event and grabs my head. "I've been waiting all day for this." He mumbles on my lips as he kisses me again.

I pull back. "Oh yeah?"

"Oh yeah." He licks his lips.

"Well, let's not waste time then." I push him down to sit on the bed. I stand in front of him and lower myself down. Kissing his muscular chest. Running my hands up and down his thighs as I get on my knees.

"Anna." He whispers as I wrap my hand around his hardened cock. I tease his head with my tongue as he moves my hair out of the way, watching.

He moans a breathy moan as my lips part and I take in his huge member. Wrapping my lips around him. My tongue swirls as I start to move up and down his shaft.

"Fuck...God, that feels good." He grips my hair, holding on while my head moves up and down.

"Yeah, baby. That's it." He says as I speed up.

I suck a little harder, using my hand as I take his length into my mouth.

"Goddamn, Anna. Fuck. Yes." His words egg me on to give it to him faster and maybe a little deeper.

"Fuck, Anna I'm getting too close." But I don't stop. I just suck harder and faster. He fists my hair and pumps himself into my mouth.

"Anna....God...I'm coming...." He growls. His dick hardens more as his release hits the back of my tongue and I try to swallow every drop.

He’s growling out he’s sensitive climax. I’m not stopping until he's hard for me again.

As soon as he’s solid, he grabs my arms and practically throws me on the bed then throws himself on top. "Baby, that was so good. Now I have to taste you." He growls on my lips.

He slides my legs apart, lowers himself down between my thighs and runs his tongue up my dripping wet slit.

"Yes...River... " The feel of his tongue on my pussy is always so mind blowing. Shivers run through my entire body with every touch. He replaces my clit. He sucks and nibbles, making my core burn and my thighs shake.

"Fuck! Yes...Oh God! Right there...Yes! Don't stop..." I moan. My body waves slowly as I rub my pussy on his soft, silky tongue.

I grip his hair as he sucks harder. He inserts a finger and replaces my Gspot. Pumping in and out and hitting it over and over.

"Yesss..." My orgasm tears through and I come all over his hand.

He sits up, rubbing my clit. "Yes. Anna. That's it, baby girl."

He doesn't stop until I'm a quivering mess. By then he's rock hard again. He climbs up me, smashing his lips to mine and shoves his hard cock into me.

My screams are muffled by his mouth as he takes my pussy with no mercy. He grips my hip and presses down. Thrusting harder and faster. He growls into my mouth. I feel his dick swell as my walls squeeze out another climax.

He wraps an arm around my leg, lifting and pounds me even harder. I claw at his back, holding on for dear life.

The sounds of his thighs hitting my ass are almost as loud as my screams of pleasure.

He thrusts deeper and harder. His muscles flex as he takes what's his. The feel of his power and strength builds my climax and has me screaming.

I come hard and his growls get intense. His release covering my walls. I dig my nails into his back. Shaking and trembling as my climax descends.

He buries his head in my neck. Heaving breaths. Our hearts pounding almost in perfect unison.

He lifts his head. Glistening with sweat. He kisses my nose and cheeks.

"You're so amazing." He pants. "I'm gonna love spending forever with you."

I smile. "I'm gonna love spending forever with you too."

He climbs off me and rolls into bed. Pulling the covers over both of us. He pulls me into his back.

"Shouldn't you be getting to your room?" I ask.

"Nope. I'm staying right here. I'll leave in the morning. I want to wake up with you."

I get comfortable with a satisfied smile on my face. The feeling of River's arms around me sends me off to sleep quickly.

I can feel the warmth of him and his safety. I know I’ve felt this feeling before. I want to accept it. I really do. I just hope it’s not just a dream because the way I feel right now…

River’s mine.
