Flynn's P.O.V

Lydia stormed off of the stage completely blanking me. I mean, what else did I expect...but what were she and Arlo talking about for so long? Clearing my throat I lit up a cigarette before walking over to Arlo patting his shoulder to catch his attention I lean against the bar, "Ahh, the Alpha finally gives my party attention huh? It hasn't been a day since the Luna-"

"Lydia." I correct him, "She isnt the Luna."

Arlo shook his head, "Then who is Amora?"

"Stay within your limits, Arlo." I snapped

"Or what? You'll throw me out of the Alliance, right? That's all you do Flynn, one thing that doesnt go your way, or one evidence against an innocent person, means punishment right away am I right?"

I raise an eyebrow, "Excuse me? Who am I to punish you?"

He broke out with a fit of laughter, "W-W-Who are you? Did you seriously ask that Alpha?"

Clenching my jaw I steal his drink slamming it back, "I haven't done anything unfair to you, Arlo, if anything Amora has done more wrong in both of our lives than we have to each other."

With the mention of Amora, he stood up straighter, "Don't mention that bitch please, she's probably fucking some no name in the bathroom right now."

I chuckled, "Probably."

Arlo rolled his eyes, "What are you trying to get out of me Flynn, cough it up."

"What were you and Lydia talking about?"

He turned around giving me a smug look, "Possessive huh?"

"Arlo."

"I can't say, Flynn." He confessed, "Lydia will kill me, maybe you should ask her, maybe you should pay more attention to her."

"Why not?"

"Flynn." He said firmly, "You want the easy way in everything, instead of asking her you came to me why? Because you knew she wouldnt answer you, I can't either. Maybe if you didn't hurt her four years ago, you wouldnt have to avoid her. Use your brain, Flynn." Arlo ordered another drink. 

"Maybe if her parents-"

"God Flynn." Arlo snapped, "Let's say her parents did kill your mother, was she there? Do you think she had any idea what the fuck was going on? Sometimes, I wonder how you became the Alpha. Sometimes, the truth is right in front of you, and you stare blindly at it." The truth?

Clenching my jaw I order another drink for myself, "I never wanted to become it anyways Arlo, you and I know that clearly." Before I became the Alpha...it was evident Brazen was the right fit...but the incident with Amora, "What truth?"

"Truth that Lydia is innocent dumb dumb." Arlo looked at me stupidly, "Sure, the anger against her parents is there, but dumb dumb if she can forgive you for the death of her parents, why can't you? I mean...maybe I might have had a hand in the death also, but she moved past that and fell in love with you."

"I did too but-"

"But what?" Arlo cut me off, "Think Flynn," Furrowing my eyebrows I watch Arlo walk away from me, Why was he so invested in our lives? And what did he know that I didn't?

Lydia's P.O.V.

Snuggling into my bed I lay awake looking up at the ceiling, the kids were fast asleep by the time we had gotten home...it was the first time I hadn't kissed them night since they were born. Taking a deep breath I struggle to sleep but can't...throwing the blanket off I pave around the room holding onto my necklace. This necklace held the proof of my innocence, held the proof of my parent's innocence but the question was did I still want to prove it when I didn't get a chance before?

I restricted Arlo from saying anything but...this anxiousness, this anger that I have been carrying inside of me for the past four years, it would all be gone if I showed Flynn this. Then I could start a new life without pain with my kids, but if I show it to him, there's nothing I could do other than being restricted to leave this house, let alone this state. 

Groaning I gently open my door and walk downstairs straight into the kitchen. 

STOP Lydia. The plan was to make Cassie happy, be a part of her wedding, and then leave, not to prove anything to Flynn. Digging out a huge spoon I pull out ice cream, "Stay away from Flynn, Lydia. Nothing ever comes well out of getting near him." I whisper to myself, "Stay away from him."

Shoving another scoop of ice cream in my mouth I continue to binge eat, 

"Still have that habit huh?"  Gasping I turn to see Flynn leaning against the door frame, I blink frantically, not real, not real...wait I am in his house. No Lydia, what would he be doing up at 3 in the morning? I heard his footsteps approaching, my heartbeat sped up with every step he came closer. "Ignoring me?" He whispered in my ear. 

Quickly turning around I backed up against the counter as much as I could. "N-No, I am just interested in eating ice cream right now." What are you saying?

Flynn chuckled grabbing onto my waist he lifted me up on the counter quickly slipping in between my legs before I could shut them. He took the spoon out of my hand resting it in the container. "What are you worried about Luna?"

Inhaling deeply I look into his eyes, "Nothing," I say weakly, "I just wanted ice cream."

He gently wiped away some ice cream from my lips, lazily sucking it off his thumb he looked into my eyes smirking, standing up straighter he brought the ice cream container closer to us. Scooping some ice cream out with his finger he brought it up to my lips gesturing me to have it. I shook my head, "I-I have a spoon."

"Take it, Luna," Flynn said firmly, Unwillingly my body followed his command, I leaned down taking his finger into my mouth and savoring the taste of the ice cream, licking it off I leaned back but he quickly locked his hands underneath my shins tugging me closer than before. Our mouths were a breath away, slickly scooping more ice cream out of the bucket he placed it along my neck causing me to flinch from the sudden coldness. Flynn smirked sensually knowing that I was under his total control he leaned down and licked up my neck cleaning the ice cream off and sucking a little at the end. A quiet moan left my mouth as my hand held onto his shoulders. "Your turn."

Hesitantly I took some ice cream out running it along his jawline, copying the actions he had done a second ago, Flynn took a little placing it on my lips quickly attacking mine before I could react, he moaned the second his lips touched mine as if he was starved for them. Tangling my fingers into his hair I pulled him in closer, Flynn hooked his hands underneath my legs quickly lifting me up, gently laying me down on the sofa, "That was the best ice cream I have had in my life."

"Could you stop moaning?" Someone snapped, "Lydia seriously, it's just ice cream." Startled I look over to my side to see Flynn shaking me, quickly shrugging his grip off I avoid his eyes. "I can't believe you still eat ice cream this late."

Swallowing harshly, I maintain distance, Oh My God...I had a steamy almost-sex dream about Flynn...Oh My God. "Lydia."

"Shut up." I snapped, "What I put in my body is none of your business, Flynn." I don't even have the right to talk to him like this... "I-I was feeling hot." I stutter, "I'll leave. Put the ice cream away."

"Lydia." Flynn tried to stop me, but I quickly ran out of the kitchen back into my room. 

I don't want to look at ice cream EVER AGAIN.
