ALEXANDER Why'd she have to smell so sweet? I was running on fumes and the office wasn't quite enough to contain all that I was feeling— it was an insane sensation that I couldn't quite hold together. That dress was an innocent man's doom and a poor man's poison, an Alpha's confusion, and that was exactly where I stood at this point. I couldn't take my eyes off Alaina and I wasn't sure if she felt it too, the burning feeling that raced through my blood and I'd just love to erase those boundaries or break through them. Was it because I'd wanted her for so long? The need was killing me in all the ways that I wished it wouldn't. For once, I'd love to be different from men driven by desire but that ability had slipped from my grip— nowhere to be found on my radar. “Define lucky!” I swallowed hard, my legs plagued with the urge to take a step closer to her, just enough to lean her against that desk and— The door opened and it pissed me off. Who was ruining this crucial moment? It w

ALAINAThe words left my mouth quicker than they should, making it impossible to mask the shame that now coated my body. Alpha Alexander looked at me and I hadn't seen so much pity in a person's eyes— I was icked.It felt like hell. My heart was beating too fast. I was over Logan. I knew it. I knew I was over him but the feeling of being replaced like a piece of clothing shot pain through my veins in the worst ways possible. I clutched either side of my dress and watched the woman, Freya, smile at me.It was one that reached didn't her eyes. She cocked her head and batted her eyelids slowly like she'd been doing since she walked in. I had no idea Alpha Alexander was engaged and I had those vile thoughts of him. How much more stupid could I get? My emotions were all over the place, eluding control, too.“Why, yes she is,” Freya responded, a tinge of excitement in her voice, and she wasn't done. “It's quite ironic that love could be so strong, yet destructive. Despite how she'd rejecte
After Divorce, I Became A Top Streamer! 025: Under the influence
ALAINAShould I do that? Like in the movies, should I agree with her to crash the wedding? I was going out of my mind here and it felt like the alcohol had slowly started to take effect.I just sat there, thinking of all the possible ways I could hurt Logan's feelings as much as I was hurting! It was torturous. I managed a smile and turned to Lorraine, my hand still fixed inside my hair as though I was about to tear it out. “That'll mean I care. I don't care, I just wish he'd burn in hell. All of them!”I hissed and Lorrie guffawed. “Including Alpha Alexander?” She asked in a teasing tone and I scowled, remembering how utterly disrespectful our conversation had been.“Including him and his goody two shoes Luna, they could burn for all I care!” I took another sip of the whiskey. Alcohol was never a go-to for me, especially as I'd spent my entire married life babysitting a man that was cursed to drink his life away.My head was banging and the speakers weren't helping. “What if he's…jus
After Divorce, I Became A Top Streamer! 26: Little Miss Whiskey
ALEXANDER No classy man would want to meet up at a bar, but not Damon. And irrespective of how much disgust I abhorred for his family, this business was important. I couldn't back out of it even if I tried. “We're here,” Leo announced and a sigh ripped out from my lips. I pecked through the window and my eyes fell on the twinkling lights of the place. I hadn't been in a bar in years and suddenly, I had to because of business, and it was unavoidable. The fact that Freya was his sister couldn't stop me from seeing him. This meeting was for the good of RavenThorn and my pack, so how could I miss it? I loosened my tie completely, another retired sigh slipping from my lips. “Wait here. I'll be back.” I opened the door and stepped out. This was torture, but according to the enigmatic individual I was meeting today, he'd rather die than step foot into the packhouse. I wasn't at the packhouse anymore so there wasn't much to say about that. And it was better to meet Damon at night, that
After Divorce, I Became A Top Streamer! 027: The Babysitter
ALEXANDER“Are you the grim reaper?” I kept my eyes on her from the rearview mirror as she sat up. Her eyes were still partially closed and she rested against the seat like there wasn't a single iota of life inside of her.“That would mean you're dead,” I responded tersely, trying to keep my eyes on the road. The fact that she was in the same car as me was distracting enough.The entire vehicle had been vandalized by her scent and it killed me, slowly, sweetly. I had to maintain all modesty and make sure I got her home safely. “Am…I dead?” She asked again, then immediately placed her hands over her mouth. “Stop the car! I can't die like this. I have to tell him something!”Was this what everyone who'd seen Alaina drunk had to go through or was I special enough to see this side of her? I'd stick with the delusion. After all, it didn't hurt anymore. A small peal of laughter slipped from my lips. “Him?” I raised my brow. “Who?”She hiccuped again and threw her head back. It was no dou
After Divorce, I Became A Top Streamer! 028: Neighbor
ALAINAUgh, my head is killing me! I slowly sat up, my eyes fluttering open like a wounded bird's wings. Where am I?! This isn't my room! Panic set in like a raging bull, and I scrambled to piece together the events of the previous night. But, oh dear moon goddess, my brain was a complete blank slate!"Okay, Alaina, think!" I told myself, trying to sound calmer than I felt. "You were at the bar, and then... and then... UGH!" I slammed my fists onto the bed, frustrated at my own forgetfulness. It was blank. I remembered nothing. All I could remember was Logan's annoying voice and how I had triumphantly told him off when I should never have picked the damn call.But that didn't matter right now. Where was I? I looked around the room and boy was it huge! And that only scared me more! Did I go home with a stranger? My head wouldn't stop aching, like a hammer was being hit against it relentlessly. But, wait a minute... I'm not wearing my dress! I looked down, and my eyes widened in horr
After Divorce, I Became A Top Streamer! 029: Trouble In Paradise
ALAINAWhat the hell!?It was the alcohol, wasn't it? There was no way in hell what I was seeing was right. I rubbed my eyes with my palm and flicked it open again, but my door still stood before me, unwavering!It was my apartment!My room, directly opposite Alpha Alexander's. My legs turned to jelly and I retreated till I leaned against the wall for support. It was the same hallway. The same building.The same house. We were under the same roof! Was the universe trying to snuff me out by suffocating me with Alpha Alexander's presence? There was only one explanation but I just couldn't believe it.There was no way in hell we lived under the same roof. I'd rather, seriously this time, die than stay in the same apartment building with him. Was it the alcohol still messing with me?What happened to the packhouse? Why was he here? Why!? I turned on my heels and faced the house I'd just walked out of. I raised my hand but before I could press the doorbell, the door opened, revealing Alpha
After Divorce, I Became A Top Streamer! 030: Coffee And Stranger
ALAINAIt seemed like it's been hours since I'd been waiting for my coffee order, partially praying that Lorraine would walk through the door soon and I'd have the chance to go crazy and rant all I wanted.This shouldn't be happening to me! Why? Whatever did I do wrong to be plagued like this? My feet tapped rhythmically against the marble floor and I gnawed on my finger nails, absolutely distracted. My thoughts seemed to be pouring out of my head without mercy.Just then, I heard the waiter call for number nineteen which was the same as mine and I stood up reluctantly. The coffee would wake me up, definitely but that wasn't enough reason for me to be delighted, not after how much of a mess that day had been.I walked to the counter and at the exact same time i wanted to grab the coffee, another pair of arma grabbed it first and I turned to the person, angry. “Excuse you?” I snapped. “That's my coffee.”When I turned to look at him, I was met by the most piercing set of green eyes and
