Southern Sunrised

“I heard you, but it isn’t going to make me get the answer quicker.” Thomas bit back as he looked around in confusion, “where exactly is here? Who are you two?

“You’re on our territory” Mason snarled “You don’t get to ask questions, only answer them” He took a step forward “I’m 30 seconds away from alerting my dads and I can tell you now, they won’t be nearly as nice to strangers breaking into our property”

“there is no late christmas present, besides i give you plenty of skin it’s about time you learned to pull back. know your limits.” he chuckled before he yelped at Ashton pulling him, “ouch–what the!”

“I’m 19, there are no limits. I’m in my prime” he said before his wolf took over and he made sure he stood between Ashton and the stranger “I asked you a question, who are you and what are you doing here?”

The guy was tall and looked a little too buff for his body, but something about him also seemed a little familiar.

Ashton laughed, “minor details.” he added as he leaned in to kiss Mason before being rudely interrupted, “huh?” he approached, “Eduardo? Ooooh, Eduardo! That’s who it was, Mase. Eduardo said he was going to be in London too.”

“Holy shit. This is like honeymoon status.” Ashton said, “should we run away? Be one of those rebellious nepo babies that just live their best life without a job?” he wrapped his arms around Mason, “I mean, do we really need to have jobs anyways?

Ashton scoffed and rolled his eyes, “Hmmm I think this is on you, I’m a humble simple boy from Texas.” He leaned against Mason, “I think, or the Houston pack. I swear I heard it at a party but I was drunk.”

“Says the guy with his Louis Vuitton bag” Mason chuckled “but as long as they don’t bother us too much I think we’ll be okay, who knows, we probably won’t even see them” As the bellhop carted their bags away and lead them to their floor he put an arm around Ashton’s shoulders “I’m glad you came. This trip would have sucked otherwise” 

“No bar fights or you fly back solo.” Ashton snapped as he climbed out of the cab, “wow. It’s almost like your parents are rich!” grabbing his bag he entered the lobby, “I heard someone else was coming to London, I gotta remember who.”

“Bah” Mason said and waved a hand away “you say that, but we both know you would be freaking out the whole flight back wondering if I was okay” Looking around the hotel he nodded “Our parents are rich, don’t put all that classist guilt on me, thank you” He looked at Ashton as they went and checked in “Like...from the pack?”

Ashton rolled his eyes, “alright, fine. But if I’m not having a good time and want to leave early, you have to come with me. I won’t take no for an answer.’ He yawned as they walked over to their car. “I am pretty excited though, I can’t lie.”

“Wait, you take no for an answer?” Mason questioned “that is news to me” He laughed as they headed towards the hotel “I knew you would be. I want to check out the pubs here, maybe get in a bar fight or two” As they pulled up to their hotel he looked at Ashton “Nice, good to see the folks didn’t cheap out on us”

“You want to go clubbing? tonight?” Ashton asked nearly whining, “how do you have the energy? That was a 10 hour flight, all I can think of is a nice cozy bed and some french fries. But I guess you hardly act like a normal human being?”

“Because I’m young and in London and away from our parents for 10 days. We gotta take full advantage” Mason smiled “We’ll eat and nap up and then we hit this town hard” And waving at Ashton “says the guy who wants to sleep”

Ashton made a move to gag, “Is the bellhop cute though?” he joked as he walked out, “I’m wiped. Can we go get some food and then maybe knock out for the next 5 hours or so?”

“She is” Mason smirked “32C and probably 9 inch waist, I say go for it champ” Following the other out he sighed “Fine, but I don’t want to hear about you being tired tonight. I hear there is a club here that won’t card”

“You act like you’re not just as white. Basically translucent really.” He joked, “and yes I can believe it, they were tired of your shenanigans and decided it’s probably best to just get a break from you. Can’t blame them, a mason-less trip sounds nice.” 

“Hardly, this is Prime Italian and Colombian meat right here” He said and  patted his stomach. Picking up two of Ashton’s bags he handed them over “You can try and hurt me, but I’m stronger than yester day. Now be nice or I’ll have you rooming with the bellhop”

“I almost need a dictionary to figure out what the hell you’re saying.” He answered back, “but I guess nice to have you back, please try to act a little less douchey so you don’t give americans a terrible name.”

“Don’t be disrespectful in your homeland and your ancestors” Mason shook his head “What would those poor colonizers say if they heard you being mean” Putting his phone away he went to get their luggage “Can you believe our folks actually let us travel more than 5 miles away”

Hunter rolled his eyes, “those are old wives tales. Wolves still get divorced it’s not always this fated thing like Romeo and victor.” He approached Roberto, “if we do this, I’m not going to commit to forever and nobody can make me have children. This is just to buy myself time until we figure it out.”

“The problem is my bite, you know that.” He stopped and looked at Roberto, “we can always get divorced. It doesn’t have to be forever, I’m not going to stop you from seeing other people. We can just fool them.”

“I’m not bitching but you realize the only way to be an alpha is to kill one. Unless Romeo leaves the pack, neither one which will happen and if that’s what you’re suggesting then you really are out of your damn mind.” He started pacing, “this is not going to work if this is the kind of shit you think about.”

Hunter let out an actual laugh, “wow, and I actually thought for a second that you would say something worth listening to.” he shook his head, “look kid, you don’t just get whatever you want. I know you’re still a little butthurt about not becoming a famous influencer, but I’m not going to do the dirty work so you can feel important.”

“Nobody ever accused you of being smart” Roberto said “you over here bitching about not having any control and I’m offering the one way you can have some and you’re being pissy about it” He sighed “They make you an Alpha and it’s one thing that none of our parents are. The one thing that gives us a say in how we live our lives from here on out, because in case you haven’t realized it this won’t be the last decision they, or Alpha Romeo, will make for us” He shrugged “But do what you want”
