Alpha Bait 17
KHA Driving back to the rental with the sushi and the hidden ring, I was so excited. Excited and so damn scared. It was a big step, but I felt ready to take it.In truth, before all of this kicked off, I'd already been quietly considering this. I kept talking myself out of it, worried it was just a way to force Dad's hand and make him allow me to tell her. Selfishly, I wanted it to be about more than just her finding out about Vance. I hated that I thought that way, but who would blame me? This happy version of Vance wasn't exactly standard. Plus, it'd only been five months. She had dreams of her own, and she made it clear to me multiple times that her path in life wouldn't change based on my decisions and where my ambitions were leading. I respected how strong she was in her belief here. I also was keenly aware she had fallen in love with a werewolf, and those thoughts would likely change. Arriving back at the house, I saw Eve swinging contentedly on the porch swing, engross

Lying there after sex, I traced shapes in Kha's chest hair, looking at the ring on my finger. It sparkled in the dim light.Breaking the silence, I asked, "Okay, sex... why is it so different now?"Kha smiled with a knowing look in his eyes. "That was him, too. Vance always got so antsy, and I rushed before I did something we couldn't come back from, more often than not.""What do you mean?" I pressed.He explained, "Marking is a profoundly intimate experience. So, Vance sees sex as something that should lead to that, I guess. I don't know how to explain it exactly, but I've had to bite my tongue quite a few times to keep from biting you.""What is it like, the bite?" I asked, genuinely interested."Well," Kha started, "it's intense, a deep connection. It won't be painful, not really. More like a rush of sensation, overwhelming in a good way.""But I'm human. Will it hurt? How long?" I continued, my curiosity growing."It's quick, a momentary sharp sensation, but then it's over. And n

DRAKEAs I strolled into the finance class in the early morning light, the familiar buzz of university life surrounded me. I scanned the room quickly, searching for a particular presence. Kha wasn't there yet.Satisfied, I confidently sat in the back row, casually observing as a flock of girls positioned themselves around me. My popularity, a byproduct of being the star quarterback, was something I both relished and despised. It was a paradox that defined much of my college life.The truth was, despite the allure of campus fame, I had different ambitions. I didn't want to be known just as a college football star. I wanted to go home and challenge my father to become the Alpha of the Stclaire pack. Our pack, known for its stringent ideas about purity, would never approve of my recent escapades, especially not with a human like Eve.That would be one of the first things I changed. Growing up, it was difficult to challenge the beliefs I was raised with, but as an adult, I recognized

DRAKEShe looked up and started panicking immediately. "Yes, it is, Drake. Please don't do this."I sat down anyway. "Eve, what have I done to you to warrant you acting like this towards me, really?"She sighed, putting her book down on the table. "Nothing to me, Drake. But you know I belong to him, and you know the trouble you even talking to me will cause."I couldn't help but press further. "That's just it, Eve. Why choose to stay with him, stay in that chaotic mess? You aren't stuck with him. You can make other choices. And you can't tell me you didn't... feel something with me as well."The moment the words left my mouth, I regretted voicing my feelings. I noticed the ring on her finger and couldn't help but smile. It was just like Kha to rush things like that.She moved her hand under the table. "Drake, I belong to him. You have to accept that."The words were barely out of her mouth when Kha walked in, his eyes darkening instantly. Eve noticed it too, her entire body tensing

EVE As we reached Kha's truck, his seething anger was impossible to ignore. Though I wasn't afraid of him and knew he would never harm me, his intense fury made me deeply uncomfortable. I longed for the calm of the past few days.Kha started the truck and began to pull away, suddenly rolling down the windows. Confused, I looked over at him, only to be met with a harsh accusation."I can fucking smell him on you," he spat out.I stammered, "How, I didn't... oh, I did.""Yeah, you fucking did. You had your hand all over him. I'm sure he just loved that," Kha retorted.I snapped, unable to hold back any longer. "Okay, no, Kha, we are not doing this. I only did that to save you from getting arrested today. If you hadn't freaked out like that, I wouldn't have been in that position."Kha looked at me in disbelief, his eyes flickering rapidly between red and brown. "He was sitting at the table with you when I walked in. Please don't act like I didn't walk in on something. You wanted to ta

KHA Mom turned her attention to Eve. "Would you like to help me cook dinner tonight?" she asked.Eve nodded, "Of course, but Kha and I have to head to practice in a couple of hours. Would you like to come watch?" She glanced at me with a playful gleam in her eye. Oh great, they're already teaming up on me. Internally, I groaned in mock despair. Yet, I couldn't suppress a laugh as Vance did a backflip. Vance loved Mom. She was the only other human he truly tolerated. The idea of having Lori and Eve together made him practically giddy.Mom looked at us. "Why is she going to practice with you? You're not that obsessed, are you, son? Don't be like your father, please."I sighed, knowing this conversation was inevitable. "Mom, Drake is there, and I'm having... issues with him."Mom understood immediately.Before she could voice her thoughts, I interjected, "Yes, Mom, it happened with her as well." I hadn't yet told her the part of my parents' story that eerily mirrored our current si

EVE Riding in Kha's truck to practice, I couldn't help but smirk a little as Kha panicked about his mom getting into the backseat. Good, be embarrassed about it. You need to be. I know I will never get in that backseat again, that's for sure.Kha quickly kissed my cheek as he showed his mom and me to the bench, then hurried off to the locker room to change. Lori turned to me. "I didn't mean to overwhelm you earlier, darling. I just know my son and his genes. He would beat around the bush about this until the last moment, and you don't deserve that."I nodded. "I love Kha," I said, watching Drake walk onto the field, already dressed out. He scanned the crowd until he found me and smiled.Beside me, Lori shivered. Curious, I asked, "What was that?"She sighed, looking at Drake suspiciously. "Okay, I don't want to sound biased, and I'm sure I will regardless, but honey, that boy wants you for one reason and one reason alone... so you can fix a problem for him."I looked at Lori, surp

EVE Walking onto the field, I half-expected someone to stop me, but to my surprise, no one did.Not even the coach.I approached Kha and Drake, seething myself. "Stop already," I demanded, my voice steady despite my racing heart. "This will get neither of you anywhere."Kha's reaction was immediate. "Eve, please get off the field," he pleaded, looking around at the players. But I stood my ground. "Not until you both agree to stop! I'm not kidding!" I insisted, looking back and forth between them. My presence on the field, breaking the usual norms, seemed to stun them both momentarily. It was a clear sign of my desperation for them to see reason and understand that this display of aggression wasn't solving anything.It only exacerbated the tension and the danger. This would end with one of them injured, and then I would have to live knowing I had caused it. They weren't thinking this through, or if they were, they sure as hell didn't care about my feelings here. That much was becom

DRAKE The stadium roared with energy, the stands packed with students, parents, and alumni, ready for the season's first game. Eve and I sat near the middle. I glanced at her, her bright blue eyes fixed on the field, her lips tight as she scanned the players."Kha's still safety, right?" she asked, her voice quieter than usual, her nerves showing."Yeah, and Con's the quarterback this year," I confirmed. "Con played well last season, so he'll probably dominate. I was watching his highlight reels, and I'm impressed."Eve bit her lip, her hands gripping the edge of the seat. Her anxiety was obvious. Every time Con or Kha got the ball, her whole body stiffened like she was bracing for impact herself."Are they always this intense?" she asked, her eyes following Kha as he positioned himself for the next play."Yeah," I shrugged, glancing at her. "You'll get used to it. Con especially. He lives for this stuff."Just as I spoke, Con took the snap, dropping back to pass. Kha darted across t

EVE He pulled the towel off of my body as he positioned me on the bed. He got up to lock the door, and I couldn't help but watch him, appreciating how much care he took in everything he did these days. He may have been rubbing off on Drake, but Drake was doing the same in return. When he closed his eyes briefly, I spoke up, "Rissa won't come back anytime soon. She's in class." He looked back at me with a small smile. "I just wanted to make sure," he replied before returning to the bed. As he climbed back onto the bed, the playfulness in his eyes was unmistakable. It reminded me of the first time we were together, how he both treated me with gentleness and teased me throughout. He started tracing my breast, circling my nipple before lightly tugging on the ring. The sensation made me arch my back slightly, pressing into his touch. He smiled at me, and then he leaned down, kissing my nipple before looping his tongue through the ring. I couldn't hold back the loud moan, my hips i

EVE I saw Kha lingering outside the locker room and pulled him aside. His posture was tense, and his usual confidence was absent. I didn't want him to go back in there, not after everything that had happened."Kha, let's just go," I urged. "I don't want to wait for you to change."He looked down at me, the stress in his shoulders easing slightly. "Sure," he agreed, though I sensed some hesitation. "What about Drake? I drove here with him in his truck."I frowned, realizing this could complicate things. Drake and I already had our moment. It was Kha's turn now. I needed some time alone with Kha, away from all the tension building up. "Let him know we're leaving. I'll call for an Uber."Kha nodded and jogged over to Drake, who was sitting nearby. I watched as they exchanged a few words, with Kha gesturing in my direction. Drake looked concerned but didn't argue. He just nodded, and Kha headed back to me.While waiting for the car, I decided to text Con. I didn't want him worrying or wo

EVE The day with Conrad was easy, almost too easy. After the morning's chaos, it was strange how simple everything felt when just the two of us were in his room. We didn't do much. We just hung out, letting the hours slip away without worrying about what was happening outside those walls. He was easy to be around, and the stress that usually came with Kha and Drake was nowhere to be found. It was a relief, even if I felt guilty for enjoying it.As the afternoon crept closer to practice time, I realized I needed to change clothes. My usual routine of heading to my room was out of the question. I couldn't bear the thought of running into Kha or Drake or them getting updates from pack members after everything that had happened. They were probably still fuming, and I wasn't ready to face that just yet."I need to change," I said, glancing at the time. "But I don't want to go to my room."Con nodded, understanding immediately. He got up from where he was sitting and rummaged through a d

DRAKE Kha and I sat in silence, both of us trying to calm down after the near fight that had driven Eve away. My chest still burned with frustration, and I could see the strain in Kha's every movement. We'd almost come to blows, and the close we'd come to tearing each other apart made me sick. We both knew better. But knowing better hadn't stopped us. "She's not in her room," Kha muttered. "How do you know?" I asked. After everything that just happened, the thought of her being alone right now was agonizing. I was about to chase her down if we didn't figure out where she was. Command be damned. "Rissa just told me," he replied through gritted teeth. "She checked. Eve didn't go back to her room." It hit me. I knew where she had gone. There was only one place she would feel safe after what had happened. "She's with Ford." Kha didn't say anything at first, but I could see the fear in his eyes. "Of course she is," he finally said. "Why wouldn't she go to him? He's perfect fo
Alpha Bait 123
CONI couldn't believe she was here, lounging on my bed like it was the most natural thing in the world. After breakfast, I thought she'd stick with Kha and Drake, but she came to my room instead. She didn't hesitate, didn't second-guess it. Once I got her to calm down, she just walked in and made herself comfortable. Now, she was stretched across my bed, propped up on her elbows, watching me work on her bracelet. I wasn't even trying, yet she seemed drawn to me, like some invisible force kept pulling us together. She looked so calm and at ease in my room, and I wondered how she fit here so perfectly.I focused on weaving together a couple of leather bands with orange glittery strings. I laid the materials on the desk.She tilted her head. "Where do you keep orange glitter clothing?" she teased.I smiled. "They're from my old jersey from my last college. It became my good luck charm after a while, and I thought it might also bring you some luck."She narrowed her eyes slightly, not

EVE We headed to Kha's room after breakfast, and I knew why. Because Drake's room was directly beneath Con's.As soon as we entered the room, I sighed heavily, knowing what was coming."Just get it out," I said, bracing myself.Kha and Drake exchanged a look, biting back their words. I could see the storm brewing in their eyes, but they were holding back. I wasn't going to let them stew in their frustrations all day, not when I could feel their emotions swirling around us, threatening to suffocate me."No," I insisted. "You're not stewing in this all day. Get it out. Now."That was all it took. The dam broke, and it all came pouring out. Drake started. "We're upset, Eve. This whole thing with Ford... it's driving us crazy. We're jealous, okay? We don't like the way he looks at you, the way he's always there, always perfect. It's like he's this perfect guy for you, and we're scared. We're scared you'll want him more than us."Kha jumped in, his emotions even more raw than expected. "

EVE I woke up feeling queasy, but I pushed through it, determined to start the day on a good note. Kha, Drake, and I headed to the dining hall for breakfast. The usual smells hit me like a freight train, and I had to swallow hard to keep the nausea at bay. I tried to focus on the conversation with Kha and Drake, but ignoring the churning in my stomach was hard.I was picking at my food when I saw Conrad walk in. My stomach clenched harder, but it wasn't just the nausea this time. Something compelled me to move, to go to him. I stood up, ignoring the questioning looks from Kha and Drake, and walked over to Conrad.Before I could even speak, Conrad's hand found my arm, his touch steadying me almost instantaneously. The nausea vanished, and I felt clear-headed for the first time that morning. Without thinking, I invited him to join us once he got his food. But it wasn't just an invitation. It was a command. I realized what I'd done the moment the words left my mouth, but it was too

CONRAD I didn't plan on kissing her. Hell, I wasn't even sure how we ended up so close that it happened. But when it did, everything changed. The moment our lips touched, it was like something inside me shifted. I finally understood why those two guys were so damn obsessed with her. The connection between us was intense and something I couldn't shake even after it ended.I would do anything to kiss her again. The spark, the way it made me feel...I couldn't even put it into words. It was more than just a physical connection. It was like a piece of her had lodged itself inside me, and I didn't want to let it go.The fact that she was pregnant, something that had always made me hesitant, suddenly didn't matter. The baby was a part of her, and that was enough for me. Realizing that what had kept me from taking things further with her was now irrelevant should have been unsettling. But it wasn't.Instead, it felt like everything was falling into place, like this was where I was supposed
