Three weeks in, things aren’t getting any better. They’re getting worse, actually. Even though the teacher said this first semester was going to be mainly reading, we’ve been having hardcore practical classes at least once a week.Like right now.I'm standing on a tall wall. I have to jump to the next one but I can't move because I'm fucking scared, thinking about how much I’d love to be reading something instead of doing this shit. "Rio, what the hell?" Sam shouts. Everyone is looking up at me, "Just jump, man, we don't have all fucking day."I don't want to jump because I know I'm going to fall. I hardly made the previous jump and it was shorter than this one, the wall in front of me is farther away and taller. It's impossible. And then I have two more walls I have to jump to. I’m totally going to die. "Leave him alone," Laurie threatens with a growl."He's taking too long. And look, his little legs are shaking like a baby deer," Damien says, mockingly. "Jump, Bambi, jump!" Edwa
I end up taking a couple more shots under Zion's orders until he feels like I've had enough and hands me a bottle of beer before we leave the kitchen to join Laurie and the guys he's talking to.We’re not very used to talk to older guys, but we try to follow their conversations. "How come you don't smell like anything, dude?" one of them asks me out of the blue and the other guys move their eyes to me. Laurie immediately tenses up and gets ready for anything, but I give him a warning look."I'm on inhibitors, it's doctor's orders. I'm going to be on them for a while," I reply, trying to sound extremely casual about it."Whaat?" Zion asks, "Why? Your wolf too horny?"The guys laugh and Laurie gets even more tense about the new topic, I can see his hands clasping. "Yeah, something like that. My first rut was weird so the doctor is checking my hormones or something like that.""Damn. I didn’t know we had Mister Fuck-a-lot over here," Will laughs and raises his bottle to cheers mine, th
Once we finish eating, all the guys leave, except for Rio. He stays by my side while everyone else says goodbye. "Umh... are you busy today?" He asks once we're alone, looking up at me with sparkling eyes. Rio’s eyes are greenish blue and they’re filled with... I don't know, admiration, maybe. It's been a long time since I've spent time with a Rookie, maybe he thinks I'm cool. Which is true."No, I don't have anything to do today, we can hang out if you want, watch some movies," I offer. Rio nods immediately as if he was expecting that and we both go up to the apartment again, "Where are you living at the moment?" "With Laurent," he answers as we walk in and he sits on the couch, "And his fated mate. I really hate it in there, man, it's so uncomfortable. All they do is fuck. The whole apartment smells like sex always.”"It must be annoying," I nod and sit next to him, turning on the TV to find something, "Why don't you get your own place?""I don't have enough money for that yet, I n
"Stop it, King. That's enough," Laurie tells him and reaches over to push me by the shoulders, "I'll help you pack."He actually does, which surprises me a little. I was expecting more resistance from him, but I'm still happy that he went along so easily."By the way, maybe we could... catch up? Go out just the two of us one of these days?" he asks as we're packing up, I look at him in confusion. We've been together almost every day, "I mean, like we used to. Back when you were normal." I roll my eyes. "I am normal. This is me now," I let him know, "If you would just take my side, Laurie, things would be fine again. We could be like we used to be.""How the fuck am I not on your side?" He asks, tossing a balled up shirt in my suitcase, his eyes narrowing at me, "Am I not helping you? Am I not keeping your fucking secret? Am I not hiding you from everyone, even Rio? Haven't I been making sure your mom doesn't see you?"I look down as I feel a twinge of guilt. He's right, completely r
"She’s not just okay, she’s fucking hot," Zion says and starts eating again as if the subject is finished, but I have a question."Have you ever fucked a beta?" I ask, making Zee almost choke before he physically recoils."What are you asking, Rio?”"Literally that," I laugh."Well, I haven't," he replies, finally composing himself, "Have you?""No, I was just wondering what it would be like. If it's any good or not,” I shrug. If Zee thinks it’s fine, I’ll go for a beta. But if he doesn’t, I guess I’ll have to stick to Leah. "It would feel the same as fucking anyone else. All bodies are the same, you know? The only difference is the scent.”"And betas smell bad or something? To be honest, I haven't been around a lot of betas so I don't know.""They don't smell bad, betas are just whatever. But when there's something as perfect as the scent of an omega, why the fuck would you go for something not as good?" He asks, rolling his eyes like I'm stupid. I force myself to nod as if it makes
"You're right, we are cute," Leah nods with a proud smile and rocks against my dick, almost fully hard at this point, "I just think it's sad how you're all alone.""Hmm, I'm really sad and lonely here," Zee nods with a fake sad face and lowers a hand to his own dick, he just holds it there. He’s still hard.'Is it for me?" something inside me wonders. No! Of course it's not, it's because this omega girl is basically naked in front of him."Jessica is so mean for that, she should be here," Leah says and puts her hands on my chest to touch me all over, "She should be doing something like this."She's getting braver now and apparently that's turning Zee on because the scent of his arousal is getting to me and now I'm as hard as I can be. I can't help it, he smells so good. "Fuck Jessica," I blurt out, licking my lips and forcing myself not to look at Zee, "It's her loss, she’s missing out.”Zee and Leah laugh. I'm sure they think I meant she's missing out on the whole thing, but really
Rio's hands go up Leah’s back softly, but I grab one of them and bring it down until he’s touching her ass. I think he really needs directions.Once his hand is there, he tightens his grip on her and pulls her until she's sitting on him completely. I like this new position.I move away from them to open the condom still in my hand and I put it on."Hey, Rio," I call him and he stops kissing Leah to look at me, his lips are now about twice the size. I throw the other condom in his face, "Put it on."Rio nods and Leah steps aside to let him do it. I take the opportunity to open the bottle of lube. I think the position they were in a second ago is just right. I should totally be the one to fuck her ass and Rio should have her pussy. I am the other man, after all. Besides, I've done lots of anal but I don’t Rio has. "We're going to make you feel so good, babe," I tell Leah, bringing my lubed fingers to her ass. Rio is all wrapped up now so he pulls Leah until she's on top of him once ag
{ Alejandro }Just as Zee ordered, I take a shower with Leah. While we're in here I force myself to kiss her again and touch her body while trying to pretend my hands aren't shaking and my head isn't a jumbled mess. "That was so hot for me... did you like it?" Leah asks in a whisper, looking up at me."It was good," I say with a shrug, "I mean, I've never done anything like that before so it was exciting, but I'd also like to do it just the two of us. Would you like that, too?”"Oh," her eyes dim a little but she nods, "Yeah. Totally."I know she wants Zee again. Even if she likes me too and even if I put my all into fucking her like an alpha would. Even then, I don't come close to the way Zee made it all happen, the way he took control of the situation and made us all come."I just don't want to fuck with another alpha in the room again, you know?" I laugh like it's gross or something. Am I over-compensating for my true desires? Of course I am, but Leah doesn't know that. She lets
"Remember how I said I was going to kill myself if you say no? I wasn't kidding," Alex says, still holding the ring out to me. His eyes are starting to get crazier with each passing second I don't answer."Yes. Yes, I'll fucking marry you," I reply just to stop him from going crazy, but I can't even comprehend this shit. Alex sighs with relief so I grab his arm to pull him up. He takes the ring he bought and lifts my hand to put it on my finger. It’s a gold band. I never thought for even a second that someone could propose to me, "Can I ask what the fuck is going on without you threatening to kill yourself or lying?" "You said yes just so I wouldn't kill myself?" Alex asks with a pout, "You don't really want to marry me?""Yes I do! But I'm still angry and confused," I tell him, not knowing what to do with my hands. Or with him. He looks so much prettier today than the last time I saw him. His hair is a little longer, his cheeks red, his eyes bright. "I saw you on that damn TV show
Rio told me all about how Grandpa helped him with his new business, that damn cookie place he wanted so badly and still hasn't taken me to. Rio told me everything, so I know perfectly well who to go to first. "Hi, Grandpa, good morning.”“Good morning, Alex, what brings you here so damn early?” He asks.“Uhm, well. I know you helped Rio with his cookie place. So... today I come to you with my own business plan. And I dare say, mine is even better," I blurt out as soon as my grandfather comes down to the living room. I'm already sitting on the couch waiting for him in my formal clothes, although I intercepted him on his day off so my grandfather is wearing his pajamas and robe. Grandma comes down the stairs behind him too and looks at me with a smile."Oh, look at you, you look so cute with your little bow tie," she says as she comes over to give me a kiss, "Have you had breakfast yet? I'll make you something, sweetie.""Okay, grandma, thank you," I say and wait for my grandfather to
When I get out of the car and I look up at my house, I suddenly start crying, unable to control it. Lunanci arrives at my side and she holds my hand as the guys walk inside the house to give me space. I'm crying because being here feels good, it feels right. Running away after my presentation because I was angry at the world and at myself was very silly. Before that day I was actually very happy. My life was very good. So, I let one single problem snowball into the biggest shit-show ever. It made me hate my own family because of some dumb harmless comments. It made me hate myself and it made me put on a whole circus that culminated in everyone hating my guts. But at this point, I realize that I should have just eaten one of Rio's cookies and accepted myself as I am. Because there is no other option. I can't change myself and I can't be miserable and bitter forever. So all I can do is, accept my lame ass fate and make the best of it, as Luna told me. "Are you ready?" She asks. I
{ Alejandro }After my wolf cried for hours, dejected and depressed because Zee is going to leave him, I manage to calm him down a little but only when I promise him that we are going to go see his Alpha. What am I going to tell Zee when I see him? I have no fucking idea, but it's the only thing I could think of to make my wolf feel better.So, now I'm heading to Zee's apartment in the middle of the night. I guess maybe I'll say goodbye... and thenmaybe my wolf can convince him to stay here. If Zion really loves me like he said, he'll stay. And he’ll give me a chance to make things right with him. That’s all I need, a little chance. I get to the restaurant and fortunately, it's open, so I go upstairs and I knock on the door. No answer. When almost fifteen minutes go by and no one answers the door, I start to worry. It's only three in the morning, the party should still be on, right? Usually around four or five is when people start leaving. But I guess they left early this time.
I don't know how much time has passed, how many days have passed since I got dumped by everyone, but my mind doesn't leave me alone for a single second. And it’s not even my wolf, it’s all myself.I don't have to take inhibitors anymore because there is no reason to, but I keep doing it mostly because I like the silence but also because I want to protect my wolf. I know he’d hate the way my life is going right now. My life is still in a dark abyss and I can't get out out there because there is no way out. I have no direction and no one to guide me out of there. I’m all alone and miserable. The only good thing I have in my life at the moment is Lunanci, forcing me to go out with her, to eat with her and she makes me laugh for a while. I feel good while I'm with her, but when she leaves me alone I remember that I have nothing else. Just me, myself and I, and we all hate each-other. Laurent stopped talking to me, just like Rio. They both hate me now. Zee hates me, too. My whole famil
{ Zion }Seeing Alex and Rio side by side confuses me a lot. They’re not identical at all, Rio is totally an alpha. And Alex is totally an omega. A tall one. I don't understand why he's so conflicted about that.Seeing Alex hurt by his brother's horrible words soften my heart, it even helps me push my wolf away and make him forget his jealousy right now because Alex looks so sad all of a sudden. "Why is everything so damn hard for me? I just want to have everything I want, why can't I?" he lets out, in a vulnerable little voice that makes me forget the fact that he is a manipulative liar. He's just a kid and everything is blowing up around him. "Baby..." I say, trying to move closer to him and take him in my arms. "You need to stop," he spits towards me suddenly, walking close to me menacingly with wild, crazy eyes just like his brother's. In that they're totally the same, they're both crazy, "I'm not your baby. I've been telling you I don't want you and I don't want this, why can
{ Alejandro }Rio is here, I just ran into him on my way to the restaurant. And he doesn't look good at all. He looks too thin, too pale, too upset. "Rio," I whisper, unable to believe he's really here. He gives me an angry look, but I ignore it for a second because I look behind Rio and I realize Zee is there. And Lunanci. Fuck, "I-I'll explain.""Don't worry, I don't need explanations," my brother says, laughing in a sinister way, "Your lover boy here wants to call Mom. We should, right? We should have mom come here and find out everything her omega son has been up to.""No," I whisper, unable to even come up with an excuse or anything because this is so sudden, I hadn't planned anything, "Please.""Ow, that's such a soft voice now that you've been fucking caught," Rio spits towards me, sounding completely not like himself. Rio's not like that, he never gets angry and certainly not in such a serious way, "I would love to see you cry when she finds out, but I'll just let you do your
My throat closes up as I watch Rio get into the ring. This could go very badly or maybe not as much, but no matter what, I just don't want to see anyone beat Rio up. It's just not supposed to be like this. Why the hell did I end up with the craziest omega on the continent? "Next up, Rio Taffy and," I pretend to think about it, "Mario Ramirez, come here."Rio snorts and starts shaking his head as soon as he sees Mario approaching. Mario is the smallest, he's even shorter than Rio. Rio should take the easy way out I'm offering him, but of course his ego won't let him. I close my eyes in stress as soon as I see his chest popping out. "I want to fight an Alpha, please," he says. Mario rolls his eyes, he's too used to being looked down on at this point to be phased. He tries to walk away, but I stop him."Sorry, but no. He's the only option," I say as if it makes me very sad to have to break the news to him, but he knows I'm lying. "I want to fight an alpha, Zion, are you going to let
The next day at the academy, I see Rio on the track because we’re having another endurance test. This time he surprises me by running at the same pace as his teammates for two full hours. I'm watching him proudly when a guy named Jerry loses his stride and ends up falling face first to the ground. I silently cheer for his failure because that means Rio won't be punished today. Fifteen minutes later, Rio falls to his knees, completely exhausted. I immediately run to him to get him off the track before he gets hurt, and he slaps my hands as soon as he's stable."I can walk by myself," he growls, and I let him go. I follow his slow pace until we reach the loser's bench and sit down next to Jerry. Now that Rio’s here, I don't look at the track at all because I don't care what's going on there. I just want to see his face. And it's even funnier because he can feel my gaze and he starts to get all nervous under my eyes, so much so that he suddenly can't stand it anymore and gets up."I'm
