PLAYTHING OF THE ALPHA PREDATORS 151
APRIL On the journey back home, the air between us only got more tense and awkward. It was unsettling, especially since he was one of the people who I felt extremely comfortable with. This tense feeling hanging between us was unnatural and it made me want to scream out the window or something. I kept shifting in my seat and he didn’t even turn to look at me, not once. He just kept his eyes on the road and kept tapping the steering wheel like he needed those motions to calm himself.I felt horrible that he was in such an irritable state because of me and I didn’t know how to make it right. It didn’t feel right to apologize for spending time with someone whose company I truly enjoy, but it also felt wrong that the result of doing so was watching the man I loved suffer through sour moods. As much as I wanted to clear the air while we were in the car, I decided against doing so. I felt like it would be best to allow him to take a breather and then we could talk when he was a little ca

ACEThe sound of irregular banging woke me up, and I wasn't the least bit pleased to realize that I still had a lingering headache from being hung over. I groaned loudly into the pillow beside me and nearly rolled my eyes out of my head at the thought of having to stand up. For a second, I contemplated ignoring whoever was at the door, but all it took for me to change my mind was the irritating sound of repeated knocking that resumed seconds after that thought popped into my head. I pressed my eyes tightly shut for a few seconds, hoping that would somehow will the person away, but that didn't do shit but piss me off further.With one heaving breath, I forced myself up, only to realize in that instant that I’d been sleeping on the floor.At some point, I must've rolled off the bed in agony and pulled the duvet with me, and I hadn't noticed I wasn't on the bed when I first woke up because the duvet was cushioning my body from meeting the cold, hard floor. “I can’t fucking deal with

ACE“This is an intervention, one that is particularly meant to convince you into changing your mind about marrying Brooke,” he seemed almost as irritated as I was about the topic as he spoke. I hissed at my parents’ audacity to drag even more people into the mess they’d created. I’d even cleaned it up by making that drastic decision on the altar, but they still refused to let go of thier delusions. “Well, thanks for the intervention, but nothing and no one on earth can change my mind on the matter, so you can leave,” I started to close the door but he pushed in a foot and blocked it. “Look, I hate this situation as much as you do, but my dad locked me out of my apartment, and he’s not letting me in until I’ve done his bidding,” he pushed the door open and walked in, rudely so, since he clearly wasn’t being invited in. “So, you, my friend,” he laughed at the endearment as he sank into the couch, “are going to let me stay here and pretend that we had an intense chat, and then I’ll

BROOKEWhen I drove away from the wedding venue with the stench of guilt and shame clinging to me, I couldn’t bear to return to my mother’s house. By her doing, she made sure that I wasn’t able to purchase a house to get away from her despite all the money I made at the modeling gigs I've effortlessly bagged for years. In fact, since she had access to the account where that money was being paid into, she strictly dictated how I spent it. Anyways, since I had no friend to run to and I dreaded returning home to my mom, I ended up driving to the modeling agency and deciding to spend the night in my office. But as you’d expect, I cried myself to sleep.The next morning, I woke up with a sore throat and a pounding headache. Somehow, I wasn’t alarmed by it because the pain crushing my heart and all my other internal organs were far worse than any physical pain I was saddled with. Thoughts of my mother making good in her promise to pimp me out full time made my skin crawl. I wanted to sc

BROOKE“Savant, Brooke speaking,” I answered. “The meeting has been set, but it’ll cost you a fortune,” Savant replied, and I could already tell that the fortune was monetary from his tone. “Nothing can cost more than the consequences of missing out on securing that meeting, I’m willing to pay anything,” I didn’t care that I sounded desperate as long as I got what I was gunning for. “Be on standby for the details,” Savant’s response was punctuated with the call’s end. Seconds after that, my phone lit up with a text from Savant with the amount I was being charged and the account to deposit it into. It was indeed a hefty sum, but I didn’t bat an eyelid before logging into a secret bank account where I saved for rainy days such as these and made the transfer. As soon as the payment was confirmed, Savant sent me a text with the meeting details and I was advised to arrive within the next hour or else I would lose my spot.

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

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

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

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
