Billionaire Alpha She's Dead
Kendal"What girl?" I glanced around. Was she on campus? If so, how did she find me and why was she looking for me? What was going on?"The pretty brunette you had pinned to your chest a few minutes ago.""No, baby. That was Damon's girlfriend, Bethany. She's my TA.""I know what I saw." She sniffed. "I'm outside. Come out here please.""Of course. Wait right there." I put the phone in my pocket and moved out into the hall as students started to file into my classroom. The phone buzzed again and I pulled it out as I side-skirted running into a handful of kids and finally got outside."Hey. Where are you?" I stopped and glanced around, unable to find Dana in the mass of people milling about."I'm at the hospital. It's Tinsley, Dr. Tarrington. We need you to come up here now.""Is it Amanda? Is she okay?""Just get someone to bring you up here, Kendal. No rush, okay?""What? Why isn't there a rush? What the hell is going on?" I glanced around as white-hot fear filled up my insides."Did
Billionaire Alpha Two Sides
DanaWatching Kendal drive away with anger all over his handsome face left me broken in two. The schedule clutched in my hand was the reason behind his pissy attitude or was it more than that? Most people in the middle of grief will turn to anything and everything else in hopes of hiding the soul-wrenching reality they're forced to face.Amanda was dead. Kendal's little sister hadn't made it through the night. Her MS finally won the battle and now he was forced to face death with no one by his side. Both of his parents were gone from what I'd read in Amanda's file at the hospital.Tears burned my eyes as he tore out of the parking lot at UT and never looked back. Maybe it was for the best... Sadly enough, it didn't feel that way.I glanced down at the schedule and folded it up slowly as students moved all around me. I'm sure the spectacle of Kendal screaming in my face would be the talk of the campus for a few days, but it was irrelevant. I didn't know many of them, and they didn't kn
Billionaire Alpha Heartbroken
DanaEvery nerve in my body was buzzing by the time I got to the fourth floor of the hospital. Now wasn't the time to try and talk with Kendal about what was going on with us. It was time to support him and hold him if he would let me anywhere near him. Just the thought of seeing him in pain left me panting for air and wanting to bend over in hopes of catching my breath.How someone could cause me to feel so much when we'd just met was a mystery."Dana?" Dr. Lewis' voice brought me from my thoughts.I walked off the elevator and stiffened as the older doctor paused in the hallway."Hi Dr. Lewis." I glanced both ways down the hall, noting that Kendal wasn't in sight."You heard that we lost Amanda Tarrington, right?" He reached out and squeezed my shoulder as a fatherly look moved across his features."Yes. I'm heartbroken over it." I glanced down and took a sharp breath before looking back up. "Is her brother still here?""Yes. Kendal's in her room, though we've moved the body out. Ju
Billionaire Alpha Missing Her
KendalThe last few days had been nothing but a blur. A thick numbness had settled over the top of me, and at times I was grateful for it. Between losing Mandy and having to testify in Jake's court case from his stabbing, I was spent. The school was good enough to give me a few days to myself, or really the whole fucking semester if I wanted it. My answer had been short and sweet. Hell no. There was no way I was sitting around in my misery for three months under the guise of trying to heal.There was no such thing as healing from death. It lightened its sting over time, but the bastard stood beside the living, ready to remind them at each turn in the bend of what, or rather who, they'd lost.If it hadn't been for Damon, I'd probably have missed every meal between Mandy's passing and the funeral. I was grateful for his friendship before my sister passed, but ever indebted to him after it. I wouldn't have made it without him."I miss you," I whispered softly as I stood at the front of t
Billionaire Alpha Rules Are Rules
Kendal"Thank you," I mumbled and glanced over toward Dana as we drove back toward my place. She'd only been there twice, and I was giving shitty instructions from dipping in and out of my thoughts."For what?" She reached over and took my hand in hers. The softness of her skin and the warmth of her touch thawed me a little."For sitting with me at the funeral, and loving on me at the graveside service." I lifted her hand to my mouth and kissed her fingers softly. "I don't deserve your kindness.""Of course you do." She pulled into the neighborhood where I'd purchased my house a few years back. "Are you up for telling me what happened at UT?""What happened with what?" I pulled my hand from hers and unbuckled as she parked in front of my place."You were so mad at me over the class schedule." She reached for her door handle. "Why?""Oh. That." I opened my door and walked to the front of the car. "The University has strict policies against a professor dating a student or another profes
Billionaire Alpha Madness
Dana"I just don't get it," I barked into the phone as I paced the floor in my living room."He's in a weird place right now, Dana. Give him a little bit of space and he'll come around." My best friend Olivia was forever trying to patch up the world with Band-Aids and butterfly kisses. How she was a top investment advisor in a cut-throat city like New York was beyond me."I don't think he will." I ran my hand through my hair and sat down on the couch. "I've been moping around this stupid apartment all weekend. Thank God I have a meeting with my adviser in an hour and a shift at the hospital, or I'd still be moping.""Just call him. You guys have a friendship, right?""It's not that easy." I wanted to pull the phone away and glare at it in hopes of getting my point across, but it was useless. Everything was, as far as I was concerned. "Maybe I should just change schools. If the problem is me being at UT, then I'll just look to see about transferring to another-""Hold up." Olivia's voi
Billionaire Alpha You're Going
DanaNurse Barry had a note on her door that said she was unavailable because of an emergency at the hospital. I was almost grateful to see it seeing that I wasn't really sure what I was going to tell her. I'd met with her the week before and locked down my schedule and my graduation. The only other thing she could help me with was dropping my classes and trying to transfer to another University for graduation, but after talking with Olivia, that option felt ignorant.I'd been at UT since I was a starting freshman. With my mom being a single mom and having to raise three kids, paying for the prestigious college had taken its toll on all of us. Me turning my back on that in hopes of being more available to Kendal was over the top. It was eight months. Eight months until graduation. If nothing else, I could wait that long for him. The only real question was whether he would wait for me.I walked back through the nursing building at UT and waved at a few people who greeted me. No matter
Billionaire Alpha Going Out
KendalI called in on Monday and moped around the house, sleeping off and on until the sun set and another day was officially over. I'd planned to do the same the next day, but the sound of someone banging on my front door at seven in the morning said otherwise."I'm coming. Shit." I grabbed a pair of sleeping pants and pulled them over my legs before stumbling down the hall. The last few days had been a blur and not the good kind. I was pretty sure I'd kissed Dana in my living room after Mandy's funeral and then told her we were nothing more than friends, but maybe not. My daydreams were starting to mix with my reality and I wasn't doing so good at telling which way was up.Damon gave me a cocky look as I opened the door. "You look like shit. Get dressed. We're going to breakfast.""No. I'm not hungry." I growled as he moved past me, hitting me with his shoulder."Don't care. I'm hungry and it's your turn to buy. Get dressed or I'll fucking dress you myself.""This I gotta see." I cl
