AlexBy the way Jane stared at him from the crowd at the pep rally, he figured Tegan took his threat to heart. After he made sure Jane made it to her car and apartment, Alex came back and found him.It wasn't his proudest moment-by far, but he'd cornered him outside of the frat house and scared the piss out of him. It worked, obviously. Tegan couldn't have run away quicker if dogs had been after him.Jane’s gaze shifted toward Alex and held. He felt her anger from yards away, and he couldn't even be sorry for it because he hated the thought of her with another guy. She turned on her heel and marched over to her friend, who glanced in Alex's direction. He didn't care if she was pissed or if her friend didn't like him.**********************The crowd clapped once Cash finished his speech. The football players all left the stage for a steak dinner in the cafeteria before their game the next day. Alex was dying for a steak. His diet mostly consisted of meat being a werewolf, and nothing
Jane"Who knew bullying your bully would make him want to take you out," Cat said, slurping the last of her late-night coffee. "I mean, Alex is super-hot, but I don't tolerate bullying. I wish I could have been there to see the look on his face." She chuckled and kicked her feet onto the chair opposite of her. "I'm sure it was priceless."Jane wiped down the last area of the counter and smiled to herself. It had been the highlight of her lifetime to do it. She'd dreamed of tossing more than iced tea on him during her life, and it'd felt great to give him a dose of his own medicine. She wished she had the guts to do it years ago.However, his reaction wasn't what she expected. When he walked into the coffee shop, she expected a tantrum of three-year-old proportions, and what she got was charm. Almost? Kind of. The closest thing Alex had ever come to charm, at least.She chuckled. "It was amazing if I do say so myself. And I think he got into trouble with his coach. I'm shocked he didn'
Alex“Way to go, Alex. You made her faint”, his wolf said."Me?" I hissed. "You were the one that shifted, and attacked the lycan. She's scared of you, not me."His wolf huffed. "Actually, she hates us both. At least I didn't bully her for four years."Alex shoved his wolf back into his mind, and bent down to pick up Jane. Her small body was limp in his arms, her head swung as he walked her over toward her car, jerked the door handle open, not caring that he completely broke it, and placed her into the backseat. He'd pay to have it fixed, but he needed to get her to her apartment before someone saw them. He searched her car for something to wear, only finding one lone towel that looked damp, but he had no choice, his clothes shredded when he unexpectedly shifted. He tied the towel around his waist, and jogged over to grab her purse and keys. Thankfully, the campus was bare of students, so it was easy to leave the parking lot undetected. He drove toward her apartment complex, checking
JaneI've suddenly became ill, and I need to leaveschool.No, that didn't sound right.I've become pregnant and need to leave town. The baby's father is too hard to look at.Jane let her head fall against her keyboard, and she groaned out in frustration. She'd been contemplating her dismissal from the university for hours. After what happened the night before, who could blame her? She'd seen Alex, her bully, turn into a big wolf and save her from an even bigger beast. It was only the second week of school. By the end of the month, she'd be in an asylum, for sure. She knew Alex was up in her living room, probably waiting for her to get up, but she couldn't face him.Not after seeing him naked. She'd never seen a man naked-in person—before, and ... she didn't know how to look at him without imagining his ... stuff.She rolled her eyes and got dressed for the day, taking her time brushing her hair and washing her face. When she finally gathered the nerve to leave her room, she found Ale
“The nerve of Cash”, Alex’s wolf mumbled. After he said he didn't go after other dude's girls.Alex didn't put anything past Cash. He had one of those personalities that Alex felt a snake would have. Jane continued to eat her food, taking a few bites and glancing up at him."Why are you staring at me?" she asked."Nothing else to look at," Alex mumbled, sliding his plate across the table. "You eat like an old woman."She eyed him. "Excuse me for not inhaling my food. You're supposed to eat slowly because you get fuller faster and don't overeat."Alex rolled his eyes and braced his forearms against the table. "Right, because you need to watch your weight and everything.""Is that sarcasm? I don't need to watch my weight because I eat slowly," she said, taking a slow bite.Alex sighed and dug his vibrating phone from his pocket. His mother had only called seventeen times since he started school the week before. He knew finding his mate was important, but dang, how many times did he nee
‘What was happening?’Jane stared at Alex as he walked from the library door, leaving her inside where she assumed he thought she was safe. That touch... it'd sent fire down to her toes. Nothing about Alex had ever made her feel wanted, or cared for, and he swooped in and changed everything.Had he even meant to touch her? On reflex, she jumped away from him because on the very few occasions when he touched her before, it didn't feel like that.She found her seat in the library and pulled out her bag. She didn't want to dwell on the past because she had forgiven him, but the memory banged in her head, suffocating her.***Jane stared over the book she held in the library, searching to make sure she was alone. The quiet had become her solace over the last year, her safe haven is the library because no one came in there during their lunch hour.She snuggled down into the beanbag in the corner of the small room and curled her legs inward. She'd finished her tuna sandwich fifteen minutes
Alex scanned the crowd, knowing he could sense her but not knowing where she sat. They were beating the opposing team, twenty-one to seven. He noticed they had no wolves on their team, and as Jane mentioned, it was unfair. But he'd grown up with lessons on how to hide his nature, how to hide his wolf and extra senses. It'd become second nature to suppress it.By the time the third quarter ended, he found her sitting in the top left side of the bleachers with Cat. If Cat hadn't been screaming and waving around a foam finger, he probably wouldn't have pinpointed Jane so easily. But Cat stuck out like a sore thumb.He'd spent most of the game concocting a way to get out of the dreaded party. Alex didn't understand why she wanted to go anyway, since the last attempt at a party went so well. It took everything in him to keep his wolf secured inside that night, and he needed to keep it that way.If the university or any of the students, besides his mate, found out about him, he'd be in trou
Jane’s heartbeat hammered against her chest as Alex slid his fingers into hers and pulled her even closer, wrapping one arm around her waist to hold her close.His breath was heavy and fanned across her face in a spearmint wave. Everyone groaned when the lights went off, some laughed, while most of them shoved against her, sending nerves up her spine.A lycan was near, and it made her feel like a live target. As if someone held a neon sign above her head, making her a flashing prey.Alex began to tug her from the room. She guessed he had great eyesight because she couldn't see anything, only black and a random silhouette from the glow of someone's cell phone. Once they broke from the room, Alex led her into the unknown until they were in a smaller room with His flashlight on his phone brightening what looked like a bathroom.She sighed in relief at the sight of his face."What does it smell like?"He gave her a quizzical look and made sure the door was locked. "What does what smell l
