AUSTIN. I slammed the door after I entered my apartment. I was pissed off at seeing the fucker there and being thrown out. I saw how he smirked smugly when Lexi said I was leaving. I wanted to trash my apartment and destroy everything I saw, but I knew they would hear me. And I was already doing my best to be a better man. I couldn’t fail now. So I sucked it up and left my apartment. I put on my running shoes and ran. Shifters would usually let their wolf run when distressed or upset, but there were no forests nearby, so it was harder to clear my head. I had no idea how long I had run, but when I returned, Randall’s car was still in the parking lot. I was so close to scratching his car with my claws, but then Lexi would know it was me. And I didn’t want any more trouble. So, instead, I made a detour and went to the nearby shop where I could buy beer. I bought a lot and took them home with me. Then, I turned the TV on at full volume so I would not hear the laughter and giggles f
AUSTIN. I held Lexi’s hand and slapped my face with it. “I deserved that, right? Go ahead one more time. Strike me.” She kept shaking her head while tears kept racing down her cheeks. I moved her hand again, slapping my face without taking my eyes off hers. “Give me some of the pain you felt. I knew this was nothing compared to it, but we can start with this.” I slapped my face again. “I left you. I told you I didn’t want our pup.” I kept slapping my face, trying to provoke her. “You quit the job you liked and moved out.” “Alone in a big city,” I added. “While I fucked around…” Pak! Her hand moved on its own and slapped me. I wasn’t expecting that, so my face tilted to the right. I licked my lips and turned to face her again. “More…” Pak! One more came, and another one, before her clenched fists struck my chest. And I just let her. “You are the most conceited jerk I have ever met! And I wonder why I let you fuck me!” I was aware that she might have considered me to be on
AUSTIN. Lexi fell asleep in my arms, and as much as I just wanted to hold her, she was not in a comfortable position. She might end up with a stiff neck, so I carefully laid her down on the couch before grabbing a pillow and blanket from my room. I could move her to my bed, but I didn’t want her to freak out if she woke up in my bedroom. As soon as she was settled comfortably on the couch and purring nicely in her sleep, I went to the bathroom and took a quick shower. I also brushed my teeth so no one could smell the alcohol in my breath. I planned to go to her apartment to let Louise know she had fallen asleep, but before I could do that, someone was already knocking on my door. I grabbed the beer bottles in the living room, which were visible from the entrance, and placed them on the kitchen sink before I headed for the door. “Nana…” I greeted her as soon as I opened it. “I was on my way to see you.” “Where is Lexi?” She asked, her eyebrows hiking up. “She fell asleep on th
LEXI. “What will you do on a Friday night then?” I asked him. “Hmmm… Eat Chinese, I think. I’ll have that food to keep me company, so it will still feel like you’re here.” “Me? Do I look Chinese?” “It’s your favorite.” I chuckled softly. “Really? I didn’t even notice that.” “Each time I asked you, even before, what food you wanted me to take out, Chinese was always one of the options.” “Thank you for letting me know it’s my favorite.” I giggled. “So that’s it? Eating Chinese the whole night.” He laughed before he answered. “I might rest for a while and then run.” “Aren’t you tired of training the whole day?” “I don’t really train so much at the gym. I missed pumping up my adrenaline, plus it’s been a long time since I let Atlas out. Running long distances, even in human form, helps him not go insane if he can’t come out.” “You’ll be back at the territory soon,” I said and my heart clenched. I would surely miss him. “I know. And the first thing I will do the moment my car s
AUSTIN. THREE HOURS AGO. I shook my head after dropping the call with Lexi. I was already upset that they were taking too long to come home. They were just three hours away from where I was, and I could have easily gone there to visit them, but I didn’t want to overstep the boundaries Lexi set. But yes, maybe I did. I drove there one night just to see where she was, but I just checked the neighborhood. There was nothing unusual, and if anything, the place looked calm and secure. I just drove by and went home. I shouldn’t be crucified for that, right? I just wanted to make sure the mother and son were safe. But I did miss them. Not just David. I missed having Lexi around. It had been two weeks of me looking at the wall or the ceiling instead of her face. I realized I would rather stare at her scowling or poker face than the four corners of this apartment. This whole building felt like a ghost town without them. “Two more days, man, and I will see them again,” I mumbled, trying
LEXI. “I want you, Lexi,” Austin grunted as he pressed his front against mine. My pussy clenched at how needy his voice was and how hard his cock was poking at my core. I was just as needy as him. “Fuck me, Austin,” I replied, and his eyes snapped open as he stared at me as if he were reading my soul. There was no denying that I was still sexually attracted to this male, but I did my best to hold on to my sanity for the last six months and not give in to my desire. But I couldn’t anymore. The fact that I thought he was fucking the female I heard moaning in his room was enough to send me over the edge. I wanted him. And I didn’t want him to touch anyone. I was sure I could satisfy him if I wanted to. But this was so wrong. He did me wrong. But I still wanted him. Austin’s mouth crushed into mine as my hold on him tightened. The kisses became explosive, as they’d always been, and I couldn’t help but arch my body, pressing every inch of me into contact with him. “Fuck, Lex
AUSTIN. “Fuck! I didn’t pull out!” I exclaimed the moment I remembered what we did and how I finished off at the fire exit.“Lexi’s eyes widened as she stared at me, dumbfounded. “Oh, Goddess! Are we ready for another baby?” “I don’t know,” I answered honestly, but I realized what I just said, so I continued right away before she was able to get a grip on what came out of my mouth. “But I’m sure I’m not walking away this time.”But she still wasn’t smiling.“I just finished my period a few days ago, so maybe it won’t…” She paused before she continued. “And I feel it dripping out of me.”My head snapped down, and true to her words, she had traces of cum sliding down her thighs. “Holy fuck!” I muttered under my breath before I took off my shirt and crouched in front of her, wiping the liquid off her legs as well as on her pussy using it. “We need to clean you up.”“I can clean myself, Austin.” She said, her hand landing on my shoulder as she put weight on me. She was holding me for s
LEXI. My eyes snapped open when I heard David whimper, and the first thing I saw was a dark figure hovering over his crib. I was about to scream when it registered on me that it was Austin. Instead of relief, my eyes watered as fear surged through me. I wanted to scream and run to them, but I was held immobile by my fears. “Shh…” It was Austin, and my heart thundered. “It’s okay, little fur ball. Mommy is asleep, but Daddy is here. Do you want milk?” He was talking so softly, and when it registered to me that he was offering milk and was not taking him away while I slept, it made me let out a soft sob. “Are you okay?” Austin asked the moment he turned around, and at the same time, I dropped my gaze to the bed. I nodded my head, but I didn’t look at him. I felt guilty for thinking that way, but I couldn’t help it. “Do you want to feed him, or should I offer the bottle to him?” “Take him here…” I said as I wiped my tears. “Do you feed him lying down or sitting up?” He asked in
