MATE OR A**HOLE

GINGER:

Gasps ripple through the crowd as all eyes turn to us. Caspian’s hand flies to his burning cheek, his jaw tightening as he stares at me in silence.

“What the hell, Ginger?” he yells, startling me.

My breath seizes for a moment as I feel the judging eyes of the crowd. Fear grips my heart as I wait for him to hit me or do something worse. I hit him, and I deserve to get hit for disobeying him—that was always my father’s response to Mum.

Before I can answer, Caspian’s eyes dart to the onlookers. He lets out an irritated growl.

“What are you all staring at? Mind your business!”

The murmuring dies down, and the crowd scatters at once. Then he grabs my hand, pulling me away. His grip on my hand is too tight for me to pull free.

He leads me through the house, walking past the buzzing students. He doesn’t stop until we reach a dark corner at the back of the house. My back hits the rough wall, and I conclude he is definitely going to hit me.

“I... I’m sorry,” I stammer, shielding my face with my hands in fear. “It wasn’t intentional. I was just... upset. Please, don’t hit—”

“What?” he cuts me off as I tremble beneath his towering figure. “Why would I want to hit a girl, let alone you, Ginger?” His hands find mine, gently pulling them down.

I glare into his grey eyes, realizing they differ from my father’s cold black ones. His brows furrow, his lips pressing into a thin line as if he is carefully choosing his next words.

“I know it was just a dare, but I shouldn’t have invited you if I was going to do that to a girl. I’m truly sorry, and I deserved that slap,” he whispers, then gives my hand a gentle squeeze. “But please, don’t hit me next time.”

The tension in my chest eases slightly, but my heart still races as his hand brushes a stray strand of hair from my face. His lips curve into a smile.

“You’re not used to parties, huh?” he asks, and I shake my head shyly.“High school parties can get wild, but I’ll try to tone it down for you.”

He leans in to kiss my lips softly, and I find my body wanting him. Mentally, I battle with my mind to forget the image of his face on that girl’s chest. He deepens the kiss as his hands descend my back, wrapping around my waist, but then he pulls away just in time.

“I missed you so much!” he exclaims, lifting my chin with a finger. “Here is inappropriate for someone like you. We need privacy.”

“Yes, please,” I reply desperately, immediately regretting how needy I sound. “I would love a break from the noise,” I add.

He glances at his watch and frowns. “I’ve got a meeting with the hockey team in five minutes. Wait for me upstairs in the second room on the left. I’ll be quick.”

Before I can respond, he grabs my hand and leads me back inside. He stops at the base of the stairs, giving my hand a quick squeeze and planting a kiss on my cheek, causing my stomach to do a thousand cartwheels.

“There’s wine in the room if you get bored,” he says with a wink before disappearing into the crowd.

I make my way upstairs, my thoughts spinning with everything that has gone wrong today. When I get to the door, I open it to meet a dark room with only the faint glow of streetlights streaming through the blinds illuminating it. I don’t bother turning on the light. Instead, I move to the edge of the bed, sitting down and staring at my trembling hands.

I try to steady my thoughts to think about the good Caspian. Yes, I walked in on him with a girl, but surely it meant nothing to him. He makes me feel safe; he is my happy place. I can let go of one silly mistake. But as I focus on him, my thoughts shift to only the bad things.

“Fuck this,” I mutter, standing up and walking to the table. I grab the bottle of wine sitting there. Uncorking it, I bring the entire thing to my mouth and start drinking.

It takes only a quarter of the bottle to get tipsy, and when I can barely feel my feet, I collapse on the bed. Shortly after, the door creaks open, and Caspian’s muscular and sexy figure appears in front of me. He staggers into the room, falling onto the bed beside me.

“You’re here,” I say in a small voice.

“Mmm,” his gruff tone rings out. His voice and scent aren’t quite what I remember, but my hazy mind dismisses it as the wine clouding my senses.

“Are you done with the meeting?” I ask, trying to cut the tension.

“I left because I can.”

He throws an arm across my chest, causing my pulse to quicken as I lie there. Then he inches closer to me, and before I know it, his lips are on mine. They feel better, and softer than before. His hands roughly run along my body, settling on my breasts, which he gives a gentle squeeze before moaning into my ear. The sound sends shivers coursing through my body.

“I could fuck you right now,” he groans, sliding his hand lower and stopping at my pants. My chest pounds faster, and the heat between my legs rises. I want this—maybe even more than he does.

Before I know it, my jeans are off, leaving me in nothing but my panties. He slides his hand inside them, rubbing my wetness as a gasp escapes my lips. Then he slides in a finger, sending a sharp but thrilling pain through me. He pumps into me for a moment before sliding in a second finger. It barely lasts before he climbs on top of me.

He pulls out a condom and slides it on before pushing into me gently. There’s a little pain, but then he fits into me perfectly, like we were made for each other. I wrap my arms around his back, running my hands from his thick muscles to his hair.

Suddenly, the smell of honey and chocolate engulfs the room, and I see a glow in his eyes. The word mate echoes in my ears, intensifying the feelings in my body. Joy ripples through me as I hold on to him. I have found my mate. Caspian is my mate.

“You feel different and warmer,” he whispers in my ear, breaking my bout of joy. I’m tipsy, but his statement feels strange. I have never had sex with Caspian. Is he talking about sex with another girl while with me,or worse, is this not him?

Quickly, I run my hand up his arm, searching for the familiar scar, but the space is clear as day. Fear crosses my heart, and my throat runs dry.

“Who…”

“Yes,” he cuts me off as his voice comes out in a needy moan. My heart thumps in my chest as I realize who it is. It’s Hu, Caspian’s best friend, and he thinks I’m someone else. “Today feels better than the last time,” he whispers, as his lips graze my ears.

“Because I’m not who you think I am,” I say softly, slowing his movements. “It’s Ginger.”

“Fuck!” he groans, pausing as he glares into my eyes. My mind spins, trying to process the fact that Caspian’s best friend is my mate.

This is wrong, but it feels too good, and I don’t want him to stop. He is my mate, so how could it be wrong?

“Do you want me to stop?” he questions as though reading my mind.

“No,” my wolf takes over, replying instantly. I wrap my arms around him, sinking his body further into mine. The bond glues me to him.

He feels and tastes even better as our sweaty bodies rub against each other. Soon, my legs begin to wobble, and he lets out a loud grunt, pulling away and collapsing beside me. My body jerks uncontrollably as I drown in the waves of orgasm, my eyes shutting tightly.

The ecstatic moment fades quickly, replaced by the gravity of what just happened. I have just had sex with my potential boyfriend’s best friend. My heart races as I turn to Hu, who lies beside me, zipping his pants.

Finally, my mouth opens to form a sentence. “We are…”

“I should go,” he cuts me off, standing abruptly. Then he leaves the room without another word.

I lie there trying to understand why he left. Did he not feel the mate bond? Or he is just an asshole?

  • HOCKEY ALPHA'S FORBIDDEN AFFAIR   BULLIED

    GINGER:Without wasting time, I dress up and leave the room. I know Caspian will be here any moment, and the last thing I want is for him to know I had sex with his best friend. Trying to steady my breath, I make my way downstairs as I text Hana.“Where are you?”“Downstairs. At the back of the house, and I just saw Caspian now. He is heading inside.”I dash out the front door as I read the text. At that moment, my mother’s text comes in with the address of the new house.“My mother texted, and she is angry. I am leaving now, and I am so sorry she has to do this,” I text Hana as I flag down a taxi. The moment I get into it, I give the driver the address of the house and then throw my head backward.**The next day, I wake up a little sore, and when I turn on my phone, it is flooded with notifications. I pray they include a text from Hu, apologizing for leaving abruptly and making me feel filthy. But when I check, it is all Caspian. This heightens the guilt in my chest.“What happened

    GINGER:Students take out their phone to record the moment, and their judging eyes makes it difficult for me to breatheTurning at once, I see Caspian on one knee, holding a bouquet of roses.“Will you?” he asks, and I am about to speak when the smell of peppermint and spiced citrus hits me. Instantly, Caspian’s eyes light up. The word ‘mate’ echoes in my head. My heart skips a beat, and I feel my knees weaken as a strange warmth spreads through my chest. What is happening?Before I can grasp what is going on, the word “Yes” falls out of my mouth, and Caspian gets up at once, wrapping his hands around my waist and pressing his lips into mine.At that moment, the bell for the first period goes off. Even the bell can’t save me, as the deed is already done. I have sealed my fate as the girl who messed around with her boyfriend’s best friend, and the girl who messed around with her best friend’s brother. But worse, I have two mates, and neither of them can recognize me.The taste of Caspi

    Ginger:Doom is an understatement of the condition I am in at the moment. Seeing Hu watching from his window makes it worse. It’s like he feeds off my misfortune and enjoys it.“I have to make this right,” I mutter, slumping onto the bed and pulling out my phone.I type the words, “How to fall utterly in love with my boyfriend,” into the search bar. For minutes, I scroll endlessly, looking for the perfect solution to forget Hu and focus on Caspian, but I find nothing. With a frustrated groan, I toss my phone aside, throwing my head back onto the bed with my eyes shut.Suddenly, a thought crosses my mind. A part of me thinks it’s crazy and dirty, but nothing beats sex with a guy who doesn’t care about you. I take a deep breath, sliding my hand down into my panties.I feel my throbbing clit beneath my hand, then I pull my hand out, reaching for the sheets to cover my body. I slide my fingers in again, and this time I do not stop. With my eyes shut, I bite my lips as I massage my needy c

    GINGER:The entire evening, I can’t stop thinking about the text. I want to back out now, but Caspian already has the notion I don’t really like him—which isn’t totally true. Everything was fine until last night, and boy, do I wish I could erase Hu from my memory.“Remember, you have to be home before nine!” Mother yells as I make my way out the door.I wish I’d get hit by a truck, I mutter under my breath, flagging down a taxi.**As the taxi pulls up in front of Caspian’s house, I feel like a heavy weight is crushing my chest. I pay the driver and step out, my legs heavier with every step toward the front door. It’s only a stone’s throw away, but it feels like I’m on a journey of a thousand miles. Fuck… is this what guilt feels like?The front door swings open before I even knock. Caspian stands there, my ever-loving boyfriend, with a huge grin stretched across his face.“You came,” he says cheerfully, pulling me into a hug. His hand rests on my waist, while I stand there motionless

  • HOCKEY ALPHA'S FORBIDDEN AFFAIR   I DON'T DESERVE HIM

    HU:I should’ve never come to this stupid get-together after what happened between Ginger and me. But what excuse could I possibly give Caspian? Oh, I had sex with your girlfriend, so I won’t make it. Fuck. I’m screwed, and I knew it the second Ginger walked through that door.It’s unlike me to think about a girl twice. I’ve got enough life problems without adding her to the list. But she’s everywhere in my mind. For the past twenty-four hours, I’ve barely thought about my father—just Ginger. Her beautiful face. Her perfect body.“Fuck,” I sigh, running a hand through my hair as I pull open the back door and step onto the soft grass, the cool night air hitting my skin.I thought maybe I’d get over this weird feeling twisting in my chest, but every time I see her, it flares up like wildfire. Watching Caspian’s arm slung around her like she belongs to him… Wait, she does belong to him. But that only makes the strange energy coursing through my veins worse, urging me to rip his fucking h

  • HOCKEY ALPHA'S FORBIDDEN AFFAIR   FEELINGS FOR ME

    Ginger’s POV:I remain on Caspian’s body, and he keeps caressing me gently, making me feel even worse. The room is cool with the fans on, but I can hardly breathe. When I can no longer take it, I let out a forced breath and stand up.“Are you okay?” he asks, and I nod with a smile.“I was thinking we could do something—maybe watch a movie,” I say, and he nods.“That would be great. I should get some snacks downstairs.” He starts to leave, but I quickly reach for his arms.I need an excuse to leave, and this is my chance.“Why don’t you pick out the movies while I grab the snacks?” I ask, and he nods. I push myself out of bed quickly and head out of the room.Once in the corridor, I pause with my back against the door to catch my breath. This is one hell of a rollercoaster, and it’s making me lose my mind. The only upside is that I haven’t thought of my dad. My body is too busy processing these stupid feelings for a boy who doesn’t giv

  • HOCKEY ALPHA'S FORBIDDEN AFFAIR   KISS AND RUN

    HU:Last night was literally one of the worst for me. I could barely sleep after I opened my big mouth. How can I sleep when Ginger is walking around with the thought that I have feelings for her? Yes, I do, but she isn’t supposed to know—not like this. In fact, never. Caspian would end my life if he knew, and I’m not ready to lose years of friendship.The entire night, I watched her window like a police guard on patrol. She doesn’t want me around, and I know it’s wrong to even think about sneaking in at midnight, but a part of me wants to.**The buzz of my alarm pulls me awake, letting me know I finally got some sleep. The first thing I do as I stand is look out the window. Hers is still shut—she is really standing on business. I let out a sigh, then quickly dress for school, rushing downstairs to have my breakfast before the entire family makes it to the dining room.“Leaving so early?” Mother asks

    HU: I am about to turn around and leave like I didn’t see them, but Caspian yells out my name. “Hu, my man!” I curse under my breath and plant a smile on my face, walking up to him. He extends his hand, and I shake it before he pulls me close, our shoulders brushing. “You’ve been scarce and quiet these days. What’s up?” he asks, and I fight hard not to meet Ginger’s gaze. “Nothing. I’m cool. Just on the low,” I reply, but my chest tightens when I see Ruby walking toward us. I don’t know what she’s going to do, but I know it won’t be good. Running isn’t an option, so I stay still, hoping she won’t open her big mouth. “Hey, guys,” she greets with the biggest grin, then turns to Ginger. “Hi.” Her tone is too friendly. It’s not go

  • HOCKEY ALPHA'S FORBIDDEN AFFAIR   THE ONLY WAY

    GINGER:Hu leads me upstairs to a room in the house, shutting the door behind him as we walk in. He finds the light switch, turning it on. At first, it feels like déjà vu, but then it strikes me. This is the room we had sex in on the first night at the welcome party.“I guess every beginning deserves an ending,” I say to Hu, who raises a brow, unsure of what I am saying. “Doesn’t this room look familiar?” I question, and he opens his mouth to speak, but then he realizes.A smirk forms on my lips as I walk to the bed, sitting on it, running my hands over the sheets. The exact sheet we did it on—or maybe they just have a lot of sheets in the same colour and design. Hu walks towards me.“Are you sure you want to do this, or will you walk away from me again after…” I barely finish my words when his hand fists my throat, swallowing the words with a rough, messy, and desperate kiss.His

    Ginger:“Look, Caspian and Hu have been having a conversation for over ten minutes,” Hana says, but I refuse to take my eyes off the Monopoly board as I think it is just a lie to get me to fail.“That is goal one of this party achieved,” Wendy says, taking her eyes off the board, and when I see Hana isn’t trying anything funny, it dawns on me they are every bit serious.My attention falls solely on the two of them as their eyes remain on both boys. Then I turn slightly to see them discussing happily. This lifts off a heavy burden from my chest, which I didn’t know had been there for a while. Probably for months.“That brings us to phase two of this party,” Hana says, and I look back at them to see both of them glaring at me with what appears to be a forced smile.My brows furrow slightly. “What?” I ask.Hana lets out a sigh at first.“I know you have said a million time

  • HOCKEY ALPHA'S FORBIDDEN AFFAIR   REUNION

    HU:Left to me, I will not be at Caspian’s party. I wanted something for just Ginger and me, but I know this means a lot to her. I do not know what it feels like to have two mates, and I hope I never have to find out. Well, I won’t because I am so sure I do not have two mates.It is already time for the party, so I drive across to Ginger’s house. There she stands, dressed casually in a miniskirt and crop top, which strikes a few nerves I try to suppress as she walks towards the car. I open the door for her from inside—a little too jealous of her choice of outfit.“Hey,” she says, leaning in to kiss my lips.“Hey,” I mutter as my eyes descend to her exposed lap before going back to her eyes, which are still in mine.“Why are you looking at me that way?” she

  • HOCKEY ALPHA'S FORBIDDEN AFFAIR   GRADUATION

    GINGER:Today is Hu’s graduation. It is supposed to be a happy day for him, but his face has been gloomy from the start. I understand his fear, but he makes it look like I will run off with some guy before he blinks an eye. We are at the graduation ground, which is full of family, friends, and students, all waiting for the ceremony to finish.We are sitting in a special spot which is reserved for the Alpha’s family. Luna Holly invited us to sit with them because of my tie with Hu. Hana and Wendy are seated beside me.“You know it’s been more than two months, but I still cannot believe you are Hu’s mate, and I have been sharing you with him ever since,” Hana voices, seeing I will not take my eyes off Hu. Her words barely register in my mind as Hu’s name blasts from the speaker for the athlete's achievement award.He stands up gracefully, making his way to the stage with his face in a frown. He looks good in his blu

    GINGER:Hu’s words hit me hard as a feeling of embarrassment warms my face. Anyone with self-dignity should walk away from someone who has such vulgar things to say in a demanding tone, reducing you to nothing. But even I question my self-worth. I should at least be scared, but my body finds him hot, and I imagine what he just said.“Sit exactly where I want—on my fucking cock.” His words replay in my mind like they have been branded inside my skull.Honestly, I have been turned on the moment I saw him doing bench presses. The way his muscles flexed with each rep kept sending untold sensations to my belly. His hands slip from my waist as he pulls away, walking back to the bench. I don’t know how he still looks so calm when I feel like I’ve been shaken down to my bones.Hu lowers himself onto the bench and spreads his legs slightly, resting his arms on his thighs. Then his eyes lock on mine again.“Now,” he says, his voice softer but still layered with that dominance that coils heat in

    GINGER:Horror drains out of my body as I watch Hu’s face harden. I bet he’s really disgusted to see me like this. I know we’ve had sex and all, but maybe he hasn’t noticed how bad my body looks until now. He’s probably regretting being with me.“What are you doing?” he asks, crossing his arms, his brows knitting together.“I…I…”“Tried to wrap your entire body in tape so it could make you look better?” he questions, scrunching his face. “Why would you even think about that?” His voice goes an octave higher. “Have I ever complained about your body, or done something to make you think—”“This isn’t about you, Hu.” I cut him off in a low voice. My eyes sting, and my fingers tremble at my sides.“Then who is it about? Do you have some other guy out there you’re working so hard to impress right now? Tell me!” His voice spikes again, and it startles me. I take a step back, then another, my back brushing the corner of the wall.He stops, sucking in a breath, stroking his temples. He’s getti

    GINGER:Sometimes, I cannot believe Hu and I are together. A part of me still feels bad for Caspian, but he hasn’t done anything off the charts. Each time I check on him, he says he’s fine, and I can only take his words. His relationship with Hu isn’t necessarily damaged, but I cannot for sure call them best friends. Hu, too, seems fine, and it is like I am the only person worrying about it.“Good morning, love,” Hu rasps, tightening his grip on my waist, and I turn to face him.“Good morning,” I reply in a small voice, and he goes silent, staring up at the ceiling. He has been like this for a while now. Each time we have a sleepover, I wake up to him staring into thin air, and sometimes it makes me think there is something bothering him.Of course there is, but I fear it has something to do with us.“I know I have asked a million times, but what is bothering you?” He shifts on the bed, directing his gaze at me with a smile on his lips. “You need to tell me, because I cannot help but

    HU:The second her towel crashes to the ground, every ounce of restraint I’ve been clinging to disintegrates as I take in her bare form. I have had her before, but it was in darkness, and now I can see her clearly. She is everything I had imagined and even better. Everything about her is perfect—from the curve of her hips, her smile, her perky tits, to her smooth skin. And what makes it even better? She is all mine.She presses further into me, her bare skin grazing my shirt, and I grab her like I’ve waited my whole damn life for this—because I have. My hands slide down her waist, gripping her thighs, lifting her as her legs wrap around me. I walk us into the shower, not even bothering to shut the glass door. The warm water pours down over us, but it’s nothing compared to the heat tearing through my body. Her back hits the tile, and I take her mouth with mine—hungry, deep, and rough

    HU:It’s been two days. Two days of Ginger explaining everything to me, and yes, it makes sense, but somehow I still cannot believe it. The thought that she is mine. That should be enough to silence every storm in my chest, but it doesn’t.I find myself even more troubled than I was, and each moment we spend together, I keep looking at her like she’s made of glass, like if I blink too long, she’ll vanish. I wanted her more than anything.I fought for her in ways I’d never fought for anyone. And now that she’s here, I feel… off. Like I’m not enough, or even doing anything right. I know it has only been two days, but it feels like an eternity and I already fucked up. I haven’t even marked her yet, because I’m scared of what will happen when we become infinitely tied to one another.Hearing her say she loves me is new to me each time, but
