APRIL

Xander had to have been swapped for a missing angel in heaven.

That was the only reasonable explanation for how he’d been acting of late. He was magically a soft-spoken, hand-holding, heart-melting, and smiling gentleman. Each day came with a new Xander-wrapped surprise that gave me more insight into his true personality.

He always brought me breakfast in bed, but since I got my period, he’s been bringing every meal to me and insisting that I remained relaxed and never move a muscle. He also made sure that my period heater was always filled with hot water, and he cuddled me like I was his life force every night.

There’s something about how warm and sweet he’d become that was equally shocking and heartwarming. I’d suddenly started to see him in a new light, and I had to admit that it made me deeply enjoy his company more and more by the day.

After my period, I thought that all the care and gentle treatment would subside, but it didn’t.

He was always at my side, tending to my

    APRIL“Fine,” I huffed.“I get those mood swings when I remember Nick. Because the truth is that I’ve never stopped missing him and craving him despite everything we’ve shared and how we’ve finally managed to become cordial with each other,” I confessed with a heavy heart. The hurt in Xander’s eyes was far too glaring for me to ignore. But it was best if I made things clear to him instead of leading him on when there could never be a future for both of us.“How is it that you still want him? What’s it that he’s done that I haven’t? We clearly have a connection, so what makes his so much more superior to the one you have with me?” his voice sounded wounded as he asked those questions. There’s no way I would admit to him or myself that we had a connection. That would be wrong and extremely foolish. “We don’t have a connection, Xander,” I responded bluntly, coldly, and he seemed to flinch at the words. “The only thing that connects us is lust and great sex. A connection would mean th

    APRIL Everything turned to a blur from the moment he spotted us. One second, I was walking beside Xander, going down the stairs of the jet, and the next second, our surprise guest let out an angry growl before charging towards his dearest friend with the rage of a thousand men evident in his every move.It was Nick, and he was cloaked in a beastly anger as he stomped towards us. “What the fuck man?” a confused and annoyed Xander was off the stairs in a heartbeat and lunging towards Nick. When I got off the stairs as well, the private jet ascended and I wished it’d taken me along because of the palpable tension in the air. Before the angrily lunging Xander could throw a blow, Nick held out his hand and blew a powdery substance from his palm into Xander’s face that caught him by surprise. Xander stopped in his tracks and coughed before trying to dust the powder off his face.No more than a second later, Nick kicked him in the chest and he staggered backwards weakly. He hadn’t gotte

    APRILWhen he reappeared in the living room minutes later, he was dressed in shorts, scenting of mint and grapes and I couldn’t even believe he was the same man that had beaten Xander like a mad man. The man smiling at me right now and ruffling a towel through his damp hair was nothing like that beast I’d encountered earlier. “April,” he breathed and threw the towel aside and blocked my path. The next thing I knew, his arms were enveloping me whole and he sniffed in my scent like he’d been dying to do that for far too long. I tried to step away from him but then he pulled away from the hug and started to inspect every corner of my skin worriedly. “Are you hurt anywhere? Did he harm you in any way? Were you restrained with chains at any point?” he asked as his hands continued to roam my body.Something snapped in me and I was suddenly enraged.“Really?” I let our a sarcastic laugh, “are you really going to pretend that you can’t bear to see a bruise on me after nearly killing your

  • PLAYTHING OF THE ALPHA PREDATORS   119A: Please Don't Leave Me

    APRIL Every ounce of anger he was holding unto faded as he grabbed me.Now, his eyes were filled with vulnerability and all that rage from before was no where to be found. He looked like he was seconds away from breaking down completely at my feet.“Please don’t leave me, April,” he pleaded for dear life, “I’d hate to hold you here against your will, so please, stay with me of your own accord.”I looked away from him, unwilling to agree to his ask so easily. “Nick, we need some space away from each other, we really do. So, just let me go,” I sighed heavily, trying to gently pry my arm out of his grasp.He didn’t let me get away from him, because soon he had both hands gripping my arms and he nudged me so I was looking at him again. It was hard for me to hold his gaze because he was now looking at me like his entire world was crashing before him. Was I the reason his world was crumbling? I desperately hoped not, because I wasn’t worth it. “I’m so sorry, but I can’t respect that,” h

  • PLAYTHING OF THE ALPHA PREDATORS   119B: So Responsive

    APRILI nodded obediently, biting down on my lower lip and looking down to drink in the beauty of him pumping in and out of me and the addictive hot slams that followed. Every moan, every kiss, every bite, every flirty eye contact, every lick and every stroke was mind blowing. It felt like our souls were synced and the pleasure made us a little crazier by the second. “You’re so responsive, so tight,” he tightened his grip that was now on my ass while my legs were locked behind his neck. I just moaned back my response and let myself float in bliss as he hit every stimulating spot in my core. He was buried so deep inside me and from the way he was throbbing uncontrollably right now, I knew that he was seconds away from exploding inside me. The thought of that made me clench around him, aiming to milk every last glorious inch of his cock. “Good girl,” he kissed me and held me so tightly to himself that we were breathing the same air. Then, he started to pound into me so recklessly

    “Isn’t the prophecy already manifesting?” Those words echoed in the underground office that had been the secret meeting place of the three most influential and powerful Alphas in existence. There was an unsaid weight crushing on the shoulders of all three men as they processed that dreadful question.The prophecy which must not be repeated by the gods’ messenger who relayed it to them.That was the prophecy they were cursed with the responsibility of crushing to dust, and they’d been working tirelessly to achieve that for over a decade. That’s the reason why that question was a slap in the face to the two Alphas it was posed to. Alpha Bright, Nick’s beloved dad, turned to Alpha Jackson, Ace’s least favorite parent, who posed the question.“You called an impromptu meeting and made me fly several miles to get here, just to throw around odd speculations?” he frowned while Alpha Davenport snorted derisively beside him. “Odd speculations, you say?” Alpha Davenport laughed bitterly, “do

    APRILIn my next life, I’d either come as a monarch’s favorite tea cup, or not come at all. All because this life was started to feel far too gloomy and devastating to live through. If my first life was this tedious, why would I consent to another one? No bloody way. Aren’t you being a little too dramatic? came my subconscious’s snarky interruption. I wasn’t being a little too dramatic though. This wasn’t even adequate drama for someone who just came to terms with the fact that she’s a bad luck charm. Everyone around me always met their unfair share of tragic events, and once the bad luck dice started rolling, it wouldn’t stop until I was back to being deserted and alone. First, it was my father who died. Then, my mother who abandoned me right after and lost every ounce of motherly care for me. Then, every best friend I’ve ever had was cursed with a shitty love life until they moved on from me. And now, I’d single-handedly crushed a friendship that had been carved in stone from w

    APRIL If I thought I was the connoisseur of bad luck before, now I was certain that I was the embodiment of evil luck. There’s no other reasonable way to explain the horrible things that befall everyone that was unfortunate enough to be around me. Ace, like his best friends, was now suffering for the sin of ever having his life intertwined with mine.He’d gotten in the way and taken a bullet that he didn’t deserve. It would’ve been best if I’d gotten shot and wiped out of their lives so that could finally experience good fortune instead of an endless streak of bad luck. Now, Ace was unconscious and in the Intensive Care Unit, and I heard his father yelling at the doctors to get his only son out of ‘that lousy coma’ before he burnt the hospital’s reputation to the ground and then he stormed off. I swallowed fearfully after watching that scene unfold, but I still gathered some courage and forced myself to walk to the nurse’s desk and make my presence known. “I’m here to see Ace Jac

    APRIL Natalie was on her third chocolate sundae when we dove back into the sore topic of my disappearance. “You turned me into a crazy talker ex,” she scooped some of the coconut shavings on my plate as she spoke, “I had to go on a date with Steve from the student council to help me get a hold on your files so that I could get your guardian’s address.” She made the same disgusted face that I had on after that revelation. “What? Creepy Steve?” I had to confirm for sure. “Which other Steve is there on the damn student council? It was the worst date I’ve ever been on and nothing on earth will make me recount it to anyone,” she glared at me like she was plotting against me for being the reason she experienced that. “I’m so sorry, Natty,” I gasped, “I really am, ugh… that must’ve been… I .. I’m just… I’m really sorry.” “Oh you will be sorry when I’m done eating at least twelve sundaes that you’re paying for,” she pointed her little bear shaped spoon at me which made the threat even

    APRIL “Who’s that?” Ace leaned in and whispered to me.I remained frozen in time, watching her wave at me with a smile as she approached us. While I knew that I couldn’t avoid her forever, I’d expected our next meet up to be filled with hostility instead of the sweet smile I was being given. If I’d known that she’d welcome me so sweetly, I’d have gone in search of her the second I returned to the country. “April! It’s you!” she leapt into my arms, chuckling and tightening her hold around me, “I thought my eyes were fooling me.” A warmth spread over my heart and I found myself smiling as I wrapped my hands around her, happily returning the hug and welcoming the familiar feeling of belonging I always felt with her. “I’ve missed you terribly,” I confessed, refusing to let go off her after what must’ve been minutes or hugging each other. “Uhm, akward third party here,” Ace cleared his throat loudly, reminding us of his presence. Reluctantly, we pulled away from the hug, but I drap

    APRIL “You must’ve been unremarkable, because I remember the people I fuck, and nothing comes to mind when I look at you,” Ace’s voice was steely and cold. I turned around, and from the way one of the blonde girls shielded her face shamefully, I could tell that she was the one that’d been tapping about a threesome with Ace. And clearly, she’d made it all up.“Now fuck off before I make sure you never get into any college in the world,” he spat angrily and the girls immediately scrambled to their feet and ran out. Once the door was shut behind them, his angry demeanor dropped and he was suddenly a ray of sunshine, grinning as he made his way over to me with open arms. “I can handle these mean trolls just fine, Ace. You didn’t have to swoop in on my behalf,” I half-frowned at him. That didn’t stop me from also opening my arms to receive him, I couldn’t say no to hugging him even though I was a bit upset by how he and the other guys kept treating me like a defenseless damsel in dis

    APRILToday would go down in history, a day I would never forget. Why? Because after today, I’d have officially moved in with the loves of my lives and I had no intention of ever living with anyone else but them from today onwards. While I was glad that we’d be moving in later that evening, what I didn’t understand was how the entire college also knew about it. Ever since the mating ritual, everyone in school had found a way to dig their noses into our business because they guys and I arrived at school together almost every single day. Each time we went on a date, there were pictures of it flying around school the next day. It was borderline creepy that there were always people trailing us. I wasn’t spared from mean comments from girls that saw me as the poster girl for whoring, and there was a surprisingly disturbing amount of girls that just kissed my ass and begged for tips on how to bad three men at once. All the gossip and educational blogs for Enigma were carrying one new

    APRIL We stood before the altar, hand in hand. Xenia, the officiating sorceress, was behind the altar, chanting something under her breath as she sprinkled a purple bubbling liquid all over the altar. I sucked in a sharp breath, finally experiencing the burst of excitement that the guys had been radiating for days. Now that it was about to happen, it felt like the most destined occurrence in history, nothing had ever felt as right as this decision to be mated with them. In realizing that, I figured out why I’d been a mess of nerves earlier. It’s because it hadn’t dawned on me that it was real, it had felt too good to be true. But now, as we were preparing to proceed with the ritual, it felt more real than anything ever had.“You’re fucking perfect, your ass looks like a peach in this dress,” Ace whispered to me and I blinked in shock, my cheeks turning red at how nasty he sounded. A sinful bout of heat washed over me and I poked him in the side with my elbow for toying with my e

    APRILThe mating ritual was in a few hours, and I seemed to be the most antsy person about it. Xander, Ace, and Nick seemed to be feeling nothing but excitement. The same emotion they’d been rolling off in waves two days ago when they confirmed that they’d landed a sorceress for the ritual. Believe it or not, finding a sorceress to mate us officially was hectic.First off, their fathers had instructed every sorceress in the country not to attempt mating us or they’d rain hell on them. When I heard of that, I wondered bitterly why they hated our union so desperately when we were clearly in love with each other and having the best time of our lives. I mean, since their meeting with their fathers a few days ago, I learned the reason why they hated me so much, but I still didn’t understand it. Why were they so willing to hang on every word they’d been told by some messenger who conveyed a false prophecy? Why was that enough for them to plot my death without even giving our love a chan

    NICKOur fathers were seated at a round table, passing a bottle of whiskey amongst themselves in a way that was habitual.From the first glance, I could tell that they’d been seated at that table more times than I could possibly guess. What had they been plotting at every unfortunate meeting? April’s demise? I hoped the fuck not. “You called us here to drink?” Ace spat rudely, breaking the tense silence in the room. Xander, on the other hand, just pulled out a chair and made himself disturbingly comfortable in it, throwing his feet on the table and proudly crossing his legs. I considered myself a hothead, but I was definitely the cooler friend of the three of us, especially when our parents were involved. But after the way they’d treated April, I had no plans to show them even a shred of respect. So, I followed Xander’s lead and made myself as comfortable as I could, enjoying the annoyed looks that spread over our fathers’ faces. “That’s no way to speak or behave in the presence

    NICK“Do we have to go?” Xander groaned, pouting childishly as Ace drove into the gates of Enigma. April rolled her eyes at him, smiling, “for the millionth time, Xander Davenport, you have to attend the mandatory meeting your fathers set up.” “Frankly, I’d rather not,” Ace shrugged as he turned towards the finance lecture halls, “What I would love to do is drive my friends to the nearest pub and get shitfaced with tequila.” A swat over the head from April made Ace yelp and burst into laughter. “What? I’d rather do that than entertain the assholes that tried to kill you barely a week ago?” he was still laughing, but there wasn’t a shred of amusement attached to it, just suppressed rage. “I don’t want to fucking look at them,” he spat.“Neither do I,” Xander backed him up. “Nor I,” I tagged along. April pressed a palm over her forehead, sighing tiredly as she looked from one of us to the other, then repeated the motion. “We talked about this all morning, guys,” she shut her eye

    BROOKE My ex-fiancé was in the premises.I forced myself to swallow the dumpling in my mouth and my stomach felt hollow and painfully tight as I slowly turned around to get visual confirmation of my suspicions. Indeed, it was him. And as though his presence wasn’t ruining my appetite enough, I spotted my replacement beaming right beside him. Seeing her hold his hand as they walked into the restaurant made me so fucking nauseous and I was on the verge of exploding into a pile of jealousy where I sat. Ace being at her side was already enraging enough, but the fact that she also had his best friends wrapped around her little deceitful finger somehow managed to make me feel even worse. Xander and Nick were walking behind her and Ace and they all looked dressed up for a date. It made me green with envy that she was able to whip up not just one, but all three of the most powerful heirs in the country. What was so special about a human tramp that made them so eager to kiss her feet? W
