XANDER I haven’t been myself since April’s reputation pummeled. The thought of how shattered she must’ve been haunted me. I regretted ever sharing that video with anyone else, because if I’d just kept it to myself, none of this would’ve ever happened. Knowing that I shared some of the blame completely broke me, to literal bits. When I heard of the harsh judgment that was passed by the disciplinary committee a few days ago, I desperately wanted to find her and at least know how she was doing. I knew how important that presidential post was to her and it must be tearing her apart to have lost it. For the first time ever, I was willing to show just how much I cared about her in hopes that it would serve as some form of consolation. I needed her to know that I’d have never done her that way even though I was fond of throwing that threat around. But of course, all my attempts to reach her were thwarted. Nick made damn sure of that. She was completely unreachable and so was he, he was
APRIL The private jet was such a pleasant surprise. I’d long brown tired of being cooped up in Nick’s apartment and being bored to death while repeating the same routines and edging towards a sea of depression, but I hadn’t made any attempt to leave because I was too ashamed. Ashamed that if we went out for a date, someone from some would recognize me and begin to throw harsh insults at me because of the strip video. Ashamed that I wouldn’t be able to raise my head like before because everyone saw me as a disgusting whore who made a living giving men reasons to jerk off while pretending to be a model student. I couldn’t stand to face my new reality and that’s why I just settled for being indoors, crying nonstop, stuffing my face with snacks, rewatching sad movies, singing along to shitty sad songs, and relying on cuddling Nick at night as my daily dose of human interaction. When he mentioned that we were going somewhere, I was only reluctant to join him because I thought we were
XANDERAs the days progressed, things only got much worse than before. With every waking moment, April was the foremost thought on my mind and nothing I’d done was able to change that. She was in every glass of water, every meal, every game character, ever mirror, every movie scene. Every fucking where! The best way I knew how to flush a girl out of my system was to fuck several other girls until the thought of her was dormant and ended up vanishing completely. But that wasn’t even an option to get rid of this sick obsession with April because I couldn’t even get aroused by any other girl, I’d watched countless porn videos to at least get some action but that was also completely useless. The only way I could feel act form of arousal was by thinking back to the times when I’d fucked April, that was the only thing that got me going. Now, the problem was that each time I gave into any arousal that was triggered by her and gave in to the urge to jerk off to those thoughts, I always end
APRIL Being on a vacation with Nick has been absolute heaven. After this experience ended and we returned home, it would be the one thing I’d visualize whenever I thought of heaven. I mean, there couldn’t be anymore to paradise than what Nick had shown me over the last week. Everyday birthed new experiences and fresh feelings that left me feeling like I was soaring through the clouds and nothing could bring me down. That was particularly shocking because if anyone had ever told me I’d be capable of feeling happiness after what happened two weeks ago, I’d have knocked them unconscious with an uppercut. But here I was, somehow living my best life. Every moment was rewarding and dreamy, especially because I kept falling more and more in love with him. Each time I thought that he’d outdone himself and I couldn't possibly love him more, he proved me wrong by sweeping me off my feet in the most thoughtful ways. This morning, he surprised me with a sign up sheet for a volunteering agent
APRIL A groggy feeling made my joints feel wobbly as my eyes reopened. However, I didn't even have time to dwell on that when the first sight that welcomed me was Xander’s face. I turned my head to the side, wondering if I’d been missing him enough to start hallucinating this clearly. How could he be right in front of me? I blinked again in disbelief. Hadn’t I blocked him out of my mind by immersing myself in every moment with Nick? My head felt awfully heavy and I tried to steady myself by pacing my breathing, all while wondering how I was possibly seeing Xander. I wasn’t kissing him nearly enough to have conjured him out of nowhere, Nick was doing an amazing job of making me forget him, that’s for sure., I was about to pinch myself to snap out of whatever dream I was having when the events from before I lost consciousness came flooding in. Someone had covered my mouth with a clothe and immediately I breathed in whatever substance it was drenched in, I immediately passed
APRILFor forty fucking minutes, Xander ignored me. I kept snapping at him and telling him how much of an asshole he was for whipping me away against my will, but he didn’t care about my feelings in the slightest. He just kept watching Wrestle Mania reruns on the screen before him and filling up on grapes, cheese, and biscuits. It was so annoying that he seemed to be having the time of his life while I was pissed beyond explanation. At some point, I gave up on getting through to him and tried to stress eat, but everything in sight tasted like cardboard paper in my mind. Eventually, I settled on filling my tummy with champagne while simultaneously trying my hardest to stay sane. “Mr. Xander, we’re preparing for landing,” the pilot announced, “please take the necessary safety measures, and would you like the hostess to buckle in your guest for landing?” “Nah, I’ve got her covered, thank you, Samuel,” Xander answered before immediately getting out of his seat. He stood before me, e
APRIL The shower was barely relaxing, but I got through it quickly and stepped out of the bathroom.Xander was the type to give me his clothes instead of provide me with any new ones, so I was a bit taken aback to see fresh female clothes that looked like they’d come straight off a Forever 21 rack sitting on the bed. “This changes nothing,” I muttered to myself as I shuffled through the cute clothes. Every single one of them was adorable and simple, and that was exactly my style. And since Xander didn’t pay enough attention to me to have picked up on that detail, I knew that a female staff whose style accidentally matched mine must’ve picked them out. Tucking that piece of information in the back of my mind, I threw on a cute pink two piece that did a great job at covering me up than the other outfits in the pile. Then I pulled my hair into a ponytail and stepped out of the room with one purpose on my mind… Escaping from Xander’s tyranny and finding my way back into Nick’s warm em
XANDER It took me weeks of nearly annihilating my mental health to dust, but I finally found her. The joy I felt when we got the drone footage of April running around with a puppy in a garden while wearing the prettiest white sundress was indescribable. I ate my first real meal that afternoon, and that was a big deal because I hadn’t eaten anything but sour candy since I set out on this search for April. And I’d filled up on wine to stay sane of course. On the worst days, I indulged with vodka as well. But after finding her, my wolf and I regained our appetite instantly. I needed to replenish my strength so I could fuck her as much as I intended to, she was going to feel every last pent up sexual tension that she’d caused for being away from me for so fucking long. After filling up on enough food to regain my true strength, I came up with a simple plan to steal her away from him smoothly, I couldn’t afford any complications that would lead to me not having her all to myself for a
APRILIt’s been exactly twelve days of unimaginable bliss. I’ve been floating on eagle’s wings after being allowed the enjoy the bliss of spending time with Xander and Nick without feeling guilt or shame afterwards. I’d thought that the guys would be hostile with each other because they were openly sharing me, but they were pretty civil each time Xander came to pick me up from Nick’s or Nick came to take me back home from Xander’s. In fact, on a few occasions, we ended up sharing coffee or wine for a few minutes before I went on a date with either of them. Everything about our new dynamic was refreshing and wonderful. But I couldn’t say that I didn’t pick up on a tense energy between them every now and then. In those moments, I felt like there was a clock ticking and waiting to round up our time together. Like one day that clock would go off and the time bomb that has been brewing would finally explode. Each time those thoughts interrupted my time with them, I always told mysel
***The three most powerful Alphas had reconvened for a meeting again, and the focus of the day was April Lawson. She was the woman who held the strings of fate in her hands without even knowing it. Those strings were their precious Alpha Heirs, and if tugged on the strings hard enough, the entire world would come crumbling down as she unleashed irreversible damnation. The Alpha Kings couldn’t sit quietly and watch it happen, so they sat around a round table in their secret meeting place and sought to stop the deadly prophecy’s fulfillment. “She’s still at it, and we all know that this supposed peace at the moment won’t last long,” Alpha Davenport started the conversation. Alpha Bright shifted in his seat, focusing on the whiskey bottle that Alpha Jackson was tipping into a glass cup. He was patiently waiting his turn because he needed some liquor before he could tackle the unending and unnerving trial that April was. Having a conversation about a prophecy that would soon mark th
ACEThen, she wiggled out of my grasp and got on her knees before me, unzipping my pants and bunching them around my ankles before I could even process another thought. “Let’s give this big boy a hand, huh?” she bit her lower lip in a heated way as she pulled my briefs down and wrapped a hand around my cock. “Yeah, sure,” I made a strained noise as she started to pump up and down my softened length. That sound didn’t come from a place of arousal though, it was an attempt to voice my disinterest in any sexual act, but something forced that argument back down my throat before I could even voice it out. Brooke mistook it for encouragement and made her mouth join in by replacing her hands with it. She gave me one of the sloppiest blowjobs I’d ever experienced, but I didn’t still feel any shred of attraction or sexual stimulation. She’d even taken off her shirt so that her boobs were bouncing as she moved her head about while sucking my dick, but the sight wasn’t doing any good as lon
ACE“What do you think about these invites? I had them handcrafted by the best artists so that they would have a homely feel,” my mother grinned. The house staff by her side, Madam Zoe, placed the stack of invites in her hand on the table and my mother shoved them towards me and Brooke. “Oh, they’re wonderful! Absolute perfection!” Brooke gushed as she grabbed a copy of the invitation card from the pile. “I’m glad you love it, you’ve always had an amazing eye for detail and I worked hard to live up to that,” my mother said proudly. I peeked into the invitation card as Brooke held it closer to her face while grinning and I didn’t feel a shred of the excitement she was oozing with.Despite that, I still wanted to marry her because it felt like the only right option, the mere thought of not marrying her seemed like an utterly painful outcome. How could I feel so strongly about her and not be excited about the wedding in the slightest? It was a mystery to me. “You did amazing with t
APRIL I was in disbelief upon hearing Nick’s response. Frankly, I’d expected him to recite his usual bit about not wanting to share me, or hoping that I would come around to only wanting him, so I was completely shocked by his new take on the matter. Selfishly, a part of me was pleased that he was finally open to sharing me with Xander since Ace was now out of the picture. I felt relieved that I would no longer have to tiptoe around him when his friend asked me on dates or dropped in to visit. But one thing still bothered me, and I wanted to make an attempt to squash it even though it would mean losing Nick. Just like Ace, he deserved more than constant hurt and confusion because he was fighting for my affection. I just needed him to know that there was always the option of having a lover that would cherish him enough to want only him. After all he’d done for me, he deserved that courtesy. “Are you sure that’s what you want?” I asked in a solemn tone, holding his gaze as he did
APRIL Brooke was the first to meet my gaze, and that’s only because Ace’s gaze was still pinned on her. From the corner of my eye, I could see her rolling her eyes at me in disgust, but I didn’t care about that because I was too focused on Ace. Something about him seemed off but I couldn’t place a finger on it even if I tried. Still, he had his eyes on Brooke and he was looking at her like he couldn’t bear to look away for a second. It was borh infuriating and confusing because the Ace I knew barely ever looked at Brooke with such reverence. When I was present, I was the only one he was able fo focus on, and now, he wasn’t even willing to acknowledge my presence. He should be looking at me, not her, not anyone else. This couldn’t be the same man who’d driven to me moments after calling off his wedding and took me on one of the loveliest impromptu dates I’d ever been on. That man had his eyes on me and only me, and it was my undoing that that was no longer the case.Ace’s eyes be
APRILEven though I was watching a Barbie marathon to keep my mind off things, I couldn’t stop glancing at my phone every few seconds. Ace should’ve been up from his nap hours ago, it was almost evening now. If he was still passed out sleeping, I’d feel pretty bad that his hangover was so horrible because I was off the rails and he was trying to keep me from suffering the same fate he was now saddled with. However, since he was a werewolf—and an Alpha heir—I was certain that the effects of the hangover would’ve worn off by now. And yet, I had no calls or texts from him and that really bothered me. I strongly suspected that something was off. Besides, he said he would call when he woke up, and I’d been eagerly looking forward to it. On one end, I just wanted to know how he was doing and if his hangover had gotten better, and on the other end, I just really wanted to hear his voice again. “Fuck it,” I threw caution to the wind and searched up his contact before hitting the dail bu
ACEBrooke’s eyes flared open in awe at my response, but she wasted no time pulling me into the house and shutting the door behind me. Pretty soon, she was throwing her arms around me in a hug and something in me was more than eager to reciprocate, so I weaved my hands around her too. “You have no idea how glad I am that you’re here,” she squeezed me tightly.Her surprise seemed a bit far-fetched to me, because this feeling of deep longing for her was now my default mode and I expected her to have known that I’d come for her. On my way here, it was crystal clear that nothing in the world could’ve kept me away from her. “Of course, I’m here. I wanted nothing more than to set eyes on you again and now that I have, it’s the most amazing feeling in the world and I never want to leave your side,” I looked down at her as I spoke.Despite how every force in my body was gravitating towards her and assuring me that I was doing the right thing, something still felt strange about it.I could
ACEAlpha Davenport was a little too pleased to drive me to my parents’, and I could easily guess “why”.He assumed that Xander and I had made some reasonable progress while talking indoors and I was now heading home to make things right with my parents, but that couldn’t be further away from the truth. “Thanks for the ride,” I murmured as the car came to a halt outside my parent’s house. For some reason, Xander sputtered a laugh and his father shot him a confused look. I could guess what he found so amusing, but I didn’t share the same opinion on the matter so I didn’t react. Nothing about the hectic situation I was entangled in seemed amusing. “Anytime,” Alpha Davenport answered before driving off. Moments later, I was storming into the living room and startling my parents who were seated by the bar and sharing an afternoon cap. “Ace,” my mother nearly spat out the whiskey in her mouth, “you didn’t say you were dropping by.” I ignored that and kept walking towards them, my ey
