Lexi's pov
“Look brother little Alexandria is that nerd, Lexi,” Nathan snarled.My heart was racing and my throat became dry again.“Leave my room. You both shouldn't be in here,” I protested as they eyed me with insensitivity. Turning toward the door I was going to leave but Nolan swung me around and pinned me against it instead.Running his finger down my neck, his lip curled.“Tell me Lexi, why didn't you tell your mom and my father that you were acquainted with us both and asked us to meet for a hook-up?”Looking up at his light brown eyes I shook my head.“I didn't want to hook up with either of you. It was for Rose. It's not my fault you both are man whores and screw anything that shows interest,” I asserted, causing Nathan to shove my shoulder into the molding of my doors. It hurt but I was seething from their accusations.“What if I told your father how his sons are just a couple of insensitive boy sluts that fuck and dump girls just for the fun of it,” I added with a hiss of venom.“My brother and I are future Alpha’s and our dad will choose one of us when we find our mate to take over the pack. When that happens we will be able to do anything we like to you,” Nathan growled, flashing me his wolf eyes for intimidation.Standing my ground I refused to back down and he chuckled as his eyes trailed down my heaving cleavage.Covering my pajama-clad chest I called him a pervert making him shake his head at me.Nolan punched his arm and gestured for him to let me go. Nathan backed off and I ran further into my room as they opened the door.Peeking his head back inside Nolan said, “Be downstairs in the foyer at seven for school.”I stood there shaking as he closed the door.“What in the hell was that?”Nova was pacing in my subconscious making low growling sounds until she finally spoke.“Get to bed dear, I will remain on alert and wake you if they return.”Flicking the lamp off I laid back down in my bed and stared up at the dark ceiling.“So much for a fresh start with those two buttheads,” I muttered as I exhaled deeply.“They are both attractive and Alpha’s in the making,” my wolf responded.Rolling my eyes I sighed, “I'm just an omega and not worth their time.”Yawning I returned to sleep fitfully through the night.Early in the morning Lilly entered my room and woke me up.I was dead tired and just wanted to roll over and continue to sleep.“Miss, you need to get up now or you won't make it to school on time and will anger the Alpha!”“What time is it,” I asked her with a yawn.“It's six o'clock and if you want breakfast you better move your tush,” she scolded.Tossing the blankets off me I muttered that I was up and patted my feet to my closet for an outfit.After dressing in jeans and a simple light sweater I exited the closet to see Lilly had left.Feeling disheartened after what had occurred last night with the guys I hissed and took out my braid leaving my long hair in soft waves. Tucking my cell phone into my back pocket I slipped on my pair of shoes and made my way down the stairs to go to the kitchen.“Good morning sweety, didn't you sleep well? You have dark circles,” my mom fussed as she examined my eyes.“It's fine, just being in a new place is all,” I mumbled softly and she grinned.“Eat some breakfast Lexi and I'm sure it will perk you up!”Nodding I took a seat as she placed an omelet with hollandaise sauce before me.Thanking her as I dug in, I swallowed uncomfortably.“Did you tell Johnathan and his sons that I was Alexandria instead of Lexi?”Her brow creased as she looked at me oddly.“Of course, it's your birth name,” she proclaimed and I understood the confusion.“Was that the wrong thing for me to do, sweetheart? I can correct it and be sure to let everyone know that you prefer Lexi,” she said softly.“Thanks, Mom, please do as I haven't been called Alexandria since Dad died,” I explained sullenly and she patted my hand.“I didn't realize that it hurt you. I will rectify it today,” she commented and I gave her a nod.As I continued eating I watched several emotions cross my mother's eyes and grew curious about something.“Is Johnathan your mate,” I inquired.My mother’s eyes lowered and her cheeks reddened.“I believe that he is. The pull we felt was very strong and my wolf told me that he was,” she said softly.Smiling, I laughed.“It's nice to know that our wolves have better sense than we do when it comes to the opposite sex,” I expressed.“When you turn eighteen you will know for certain who your mate is and Nova will be certain as well,” she clarified then added, “Finish up, it's almost seven!”I followed her eyes to the clock on the wall and felt my gut drop.“Your school records are already here so you will be placed in the same classes,” she added.Nodding, I wiped my mouth and thanked her for breakfast as I made my way to the foyer.Both Nathan and Nolan were standing there with their arms crossed looking intimidating.“We just about left without you,” Nathan snapped.Biting my tongue I gave him a condescending look and gestured toward the front door.“We should leave then instead of standing here bitching about it,” I asserted and started for the door.Realizing I didn't know what they drove I stopped on the front steps and waited as the pair passed me.“When we arrive I will escort you to the main office,” Nolan informed me.“Thanks,” I said softly and got into the back seat of one of the black SUVS I had seen when arriving.Nathan tossed a notebook at me and Nolan handed me an ink pen.Glaring at Nathan I thanked Nolan as his brother sped down the gravel road.The pack house school was up behind the two large pack houses. It was a separate immense building like an actual school and it was full of students mingling about.“This pack must be huge,” I muttered in surprise and heard them chuckling from the front seat.Pulling into the parking lot all the student's eyes were focused on the vehicle.“Don't mind the gawking Lexi, it is a daily occurrence since we are the Alpha’s sons and he owns the school,” Nathan bragged.Rolling my eyes at the added attention I grabbed my notebook and pen as I exited the vehicle.I could hear those close to us start questioning who I was. Waiting for Nolan I avoided eye contact with the gathering crowd of students.“Come with me sis,” Nolan said with a smirk and Wrapped his arm around my shoulder as he headed to the entrance.His announcement started another round of chatter amongst the students and I covered my face in embarrassment with the notebook.As we entered the building I shrugged his arm off me and glared at him.He raised his hands in surrender and then pointed to the office down the hall.“Go in there and tell the office lady who you are and she will get you your schedule and a classmate to help you navigate. Go to the SUV after classes if you want a ride home,” he stated firmly and walked off.I watched him turn a corner and leave my view.“Nolan is the nicer one of the pair,” Nova commented in my mind as I went into the office.Standing at the counter an older woman with glasses glanced over at me and smiled.“You must be Lexi Mitchell, the Alpha called to let us know that you would be starting today,” she said chipperly. I nodded as she handed me a classroom schedule.“Heather, I need you to escort our new student Lexi around. She had the same classes as you do and was on the honor roll at her last school,” she announced to a small girl whose eyes lit up when she looked my way.Bounding toward me with her black hair in a ponytail bouncing she adjusted her glasses and told me to come with her.We left the office and she started to walk backward in front of me and pulled out a cell phone.“Want to be friends? If yes you get to call me Mini, all my friends call me that,” she asserted as she handed me her phone.Giving her a questioning look she laughed.“Call yourself so you have my number!”Doing as she requested I was grinning when we entered class and I tripped over someone's foot who was sitting at a desk.Looking up at the bluest eyes I'd ever seen I heard Mini apologize for my clumsiness.“She is new, Sloan so be nice,” she proclaimed and my eyes widened at the handsome guy.“You are the Beta’s son,” I blurted and his lip curled as he nodded.“Let's sit here since you know both of us now,” Mini suggested as she offered the desk next to Sloan.Lexi's povI spent the school morning with Mini and found her companionship refreshing. I also noticed that Sloan and I were in all of the same classes as well and the three of us were on our way to lunch when the shit hit the fan.Sitting at the table with my new friends Nathan came into the lunch room and spied me laughing with the Beta's son. Hearing growls coming from across the room I glanced up to see Nathan storming toward us with his fists clenched. When he grabbed Sloan by his shirt and jerked him to his feet I scrambled up and wedged myself between the pair.“What is wrong with you,” I snapped and glared at him seething with anger.He was panting heavily and stepped back releasing his hold on Sloan.“You will know exactly what is wrong once your birthday comes, little step-sister,” he snarled in response and I looked at him like he had gone rabid.“Well it's not for two months so back off me and my friends,” I warned and the entire room grew quiet. Glaring at me with his s
Lexi's povThe cloud of dust from them skidding to a stop billowed around me causing me to cough and sputter. My still damp hair, skin, and clothes were like a magnet to the dust and clung onto me.Wiping my eyes I heard Nathan who stopped the vehicle right beside me start berating me.“You smell like that bastard Lexi, were you off fucking the Beta’s nerd son?!’’“No, I'm not a whore like you,” I spat.Nolan had gotten out of the passenger side and handed me his shirt he had removed.“Use it to clean yourself,” he said firmly.Glancing at his tan, firm chest I thanked him as I used it to wipe off the dust covering my face.“You skipped Physics class but I covered for you,” he mumbled softly, bringing my eyes up to him.“Thank you, Nolan. I was just with Mini,” I explained and Nolan grinned.“You were with Sloan as well, I can smell them both on you,” he sighed and then hugged me.“What are you doing,” I muttered.“Hiding their scent, silly. Our dad’s senses are stronger than ours,” h
Lexi's povWaking up before Lilly invaded my domain I wiped the drool from my chin and sat up.Raising my hand to my hair I cringed.“I slept with damp air and have a rat nest on my head,” I groaned and hurried to take another shower.Drying off I heard Lilly calling out for me.“I'm just getting out of the shower,” I called back and heard her say, “Okay, miss.”Blow drying my hair I made a mental note of what I was going to wear. Once I finished I ran my naked self to my dresser to grab my panties and bra then headed to my closet. Choosing a pair of denim jeans and a plain t-shirt I dressed quickly and rushed down to the kitchen.Seeing the room empty I frowned but wasn't concerned. I often didn't have my mom home to greet me so it was nothing new. I just grabbed an apple from the bowl on the counter.Munching on the apple I tilted my head hearing laughter heading into the kitchen and raised my brow watching Nathan with that Courtney chick coming in.Nathan glared at me, turned her
Lexi's povOnce I opened the front door my mom was standing there grinning at me.“Johnathan is taking me to Vegas to get married tomorrow,” she exclaimed in excitement.“So you're going to be gone this entire weekend,” I asked her with less enthusiasm.She hugged me tightly and said, “ It will give you the chance to get closer to your new step-brothers.”Rolling my eyes I sighed.“Fantastic, Mom. I hope you have a great weekend.”“Oh, we will have a great month. We're going on our honeymoon afterward in Barbados for a month,” Johnathan stated and I swallowed uncomfortably.“Sounds good. I'm sure you both will have a fantastic time,” I answered seeing Nolan making faces at me behind his dad.Johnathan turned around and told us both to get presentable for our guests and I glanced at my mom in protest but she just nodded.“Wear the cocktail dress,” she said softly and I balked.“But mom!”“Don't argue with me Alexandria and do as you're told,” she asserted and I eyed her oddly.She had
Lexi's povNolan intercepted me and handed me a glass.“Drink this,” he offered.Furrowing my brow at him I tipped the glass and swallowed the contents then hissed from the burn.“What was that,” I sputtered as he laughed.“A hundred and twenty proof Moonshine,” he chuckled and I sneered.“I don't want to get wasted!”Still grinning at me he took the empty glass from my hand and placed it on a tray of a passing waiter.“Let's dance, Lexi,” he offered, lifting his hand out to me.Feeling the alcohol already dulling my senses my lip curled as I gave him my hand.“You did that on purpose,” I accused him.Pulling me against himself as he swayed he grinned.“What do you mean?”“Getting me buzzed,” I muttered.Instead of denying it it twirled me around and pulled me closer still.“I only meant to help you loosen up,” he smiled, causing my eyes to narrow.Feeling his fingers splayed out on my lower bare right hip I growled low as I pushed him away.“I'm going to find Sloan, he is not my step
Lexi's povThrowing on a t-shirt and nothing else I pressed my ear against the door to listen. Sloan did the same minus putting on a shirt.“I was looking for her and thought this was the first place I would check,” Nolan replied.“My mate better not be off screwing the Beta's son,” Nathan announced and I gasped. Panicked Sloan put his hand over my mouth and put his index finger to his lips.“Don't be a hypocrite brother I'm certain Courtney is spread out on your bed,” Nolan growled sourly.Chuckling Nathan said, “I have needs, and besides she is going to be your birthday gift in a couple of weeks.”Nolan grunted, “Yeah I get your used-up seconds.”Hearing shuffling feet it sounded like Nathan must have patted his brother's back. His next words burned me to my core.“I will be Alpha since I have found my mate first, don't be sour. You will find out yours on your eighteenth birthday just like Lexi will know that I am her mate on hers.”Shaking off Sloan’s hand covering my mouth I frown
Lexi's povGlancing down at my shorts and tee I looked at Sloan in worry.“Shift into your wolf if you get cold. Nolan told me you were gifted with the moonless shift like several others in this pack,” he said with urgency.Nodding, I stepped into the chilly room and watched while he went to the locking mechanism.“Hide behind the shelves where the light is low,” he grinned and gave me a thumbs-up.Going behind the farthest shelf stacked with wine bottles I glanced back to see that he had already gone up the stairs to open the door.Rubbing my arms I narrowed my eyes to see him return with both Nathan and Nolan. I gritted my teeth seeing the two wine glasses on the table. Furrowing my brow when Nolan slid one covertly around his arm that he propped on the tabletop.“He knows that I was with Sloan. I mean he is rubbing his nose and glancing around the room,” I muttered softly to my wolf.Nathan’s shouting could be heard through the tempered glass enclosure and I felt sorry for Sloan b
Lexi's povGoing up the stairs to my room to retrieve my cell phone I gritted my teeth thinking about the two guys and Sloan.What happened to him and why hadn't he come back to unlock the door to the wine cellar, I wondered to myself.“Nathan is nuts if he thinks I will wander off alone with him at some human mall to purchase a gift for Nolan,” I mumbled bitterly.“What else would you do? Stay secluded in your room like you did before. Go and experience life. You have never been to a mall before,” Nova growled and I rolled my eyes. It was true I hadn't left the pack lands and had only seen humans during the road trip with my mom.Grabbing my phone I see several missed calls and a missed text from Mini asking where Sloan and I had gone during the party.There was also a text from my mom and a picture of her and Johnathan.“She looks so happy,” I mused and glanced at my bedroom door.“I can't ruin this for her,” I growled, determined to face those two brothers no matter what.“You can'
