APRIL“Wh—what are you doing here?” I stuttered as I finally realized that I wasn’t imagining his previous.Ever the rude asshole, he walked past me into the room and sat on the couch, stretching his long strong legs over the entire expanse of it and still having some hang off the edge because of how tall he was.I huffed at his arrogance and shut the door behind me.“I asked a fucking question, so kindly answer it,” I narrowed my eyes at him where he sat and his gaze flicked to me, reeking of vengeance.“Pull down the blinders,” he ordered, crossing one leg over the other to make himself even more comfortable.I stared back at him like he’d grown a pair of horns, it was impossible to make sense of where he got his audacity from, he had an unhealthy amount of it that never seemed to get under my skin. He was so used to barking orders that he thought everyone was obligated to do his every bidding.“That’s not happening. I enjoy reading with the blinds up and you have no business being
APRILI remained in the same spot, using my palms to nurse my aching cheeks and jaw.“What’s this?” the furious edge in his voice only spelt more danger for me as he pointed at my desk.My brain seemed to have been on pause because I suddenly couldn’t recall what I’d been doing before he barged in, guns blazing and whatnot. Where I knelt was a bit far from the table and it didn’t help matters that it was pretty high and I could barely see what was on it.I was just about to muster the strength to get on my feet when I felt him grip my hair and harshly pull me to my full height.An annoyed hiss left me lips at the act, “What the hell is your problem?”“I could ask you the same thing, since you have my name on the first fucking line of that silly email,” he nodded towards my desk and I swallowed harder than I ever had in my life.Slowly, I turned to face the open laptop on my desk, regretting the fact that I hadn’t turned it off before opening the door. But how could I have guessed that
APRILIt turns out they were right after all.I’d thought that everyone with that ideology was sex crazed and overselling the experience that came with the act, but now I’d confirmed for myself that there was nothing truer.Indeed, a great sex life makes people happier and much more productive, I could testify that those words were true first hand. I’ve definitely been happier, lighter, and far more productive of late because of recurring orgasms I’ve been getting from the three Alpha heirs.And trust me, they’d exceeded my expectations each time.It didn’t matter if they were fucking me in a bid to punish, berate or bend me to their will, the orgasms were always mind blowing and that was all that mattered. Nothing else did.However, the tiny hiccup was that the memories of being pounded and spanked to tearful orgasms by them distracted me at odd times when they randomly flashed through my mind’s eye and stimulated my core.Still, that was a small price to pay for the bliss of those o
APRILAs planned, Nick parked a block away from the Juvenile Detention Center and we walked the rest of the way.Surprisingly—like I said, Nick was full of surprises today—we engaged in harmless small talk and even shared some laughs on the way to the center, I was almost saddened that our arrival meant the end of our rapport, but I reminded myself that he would likely snap out of it soon, this was probably just him being professional because it was a school project.“Hello, we have an appointment slot for the next two hours,” Nick’s words to the police officer at the reception yanked me back to reality.“What name is your appointment under?” she asked him while clicking away on the keyboard before her.“Nick Bright,” he supplied.After a few more clicks on her keyboard, she called a warden to show us to the interrogation room where they assured us that the first teen we were to interview would be waiting. When we walked in, I carefully took in the scrawny teenage boy in blue scrubs a
APRILWe've been stuck in a traffic for more than 30 minutes now. The mood between us hasn't shifted since he lashed out at me earlier at the juvenile center. We haven't said a word to each other and I couldn't wait to get to school and get out of his suffocating presence. But the gods seems to have other plans because an announcement soon came from a megaphone, announcing an accident involving almost 7 cars a couple of miles ahead of us. It was the cause of the traffic and we were going to be here for at least 3 more hours.It was almost 10pm.Nick slammed a fist on the steering wheel after the announcement was done. I could tell that he was angry and he probably didn't want to be in my space for a minute longer than necessary. Well, that makes the two of us. I looked around the area we we were in. It was an economic area and because I haven't had anything to eat since early in the afternoon, I was already hungry. I could find a café, grab some pastries and food and stay there ti
APRILI collapsed against him, panting as if I just ran a marathon. It did feel like a marathon except that this was much more strenuous and pleasure.My breathing was just becoming regulated when the shame started to set in. I've done it again. Slept with Nick in public where we could have easily gotten arrested.I raised myself up slowly, careful not to meet his eyes. I was about to lift myself off him when he held me back and before I could process the reason, he ducked his head and sucked one of my boobs into his mouth.Holy shit!I was clothed but with the strokes of his tongue, it felt like I wasn't. His tongue continued its ministrations while his free hand grabbed my other boob and he squeezed with so much force that a scream-like moan left my mouth.I wanted to take my top off, I wanted to feel his mouth on my skin without any barrier.I attempted to pull my top over my head but he wouldn't let go. It seemed like all he cared about was sucking me."Nick, please... I need to t
APRILA parched throat and cement dry tongue woke me from sleep. It wasn’t a good one anyways, it’s lasted for about ten minutes after I’d struggled hopelessly to find sleep and I knew I might not be able to sleep back afterwards.I turned to my side hoping to find Nick in bed, but all there was were ruffled sheets to show that he'd gotten out of bed at some point. I figured he must've realized how weird it’d be to share the same bed with a woman he had no romantic inclination for and decided to crash in another room. That honestly didn’t bother me because I expected nothing of the sort from him or any of his friends, so I pushed the thought away and got out of bed with a yawn before throwing on a robe and setting out to find water for my desert dry throat.I found the kitchen easily, but what I didn’t expect to find was a shirtless Nick seated opposite the counter and sipping from a steaming cup. Whatever was in that cup was nowhere near as hot as he looked, his chest was a sinfull
BROOKE“Tell me why I shouldn’t start pimping you to other men so you can at least prove your worth?” mom asked like it was completely acceptable dinner conversation. In her painfully misguided defense, that was appropriate dinner conversation to her. It might seem berating and outrightly vulgar, but that was mom’s only way of interacting with me since I was a child. She’d groomed me to do everything in my power to please powerful and influential men in return for favors of various kinds. And after being used as a pawn of her all my life, I didn’t take her words lightly because I knew she could sell me off to as many men as were willing to pay to fuck me if I continued to piss her off. “Maybe if I make a rooster of men to run through you and pay me a substantial amount of money it’d make up for how useless you’ve proven to be, but I doubt any amount of money could compare to the endless privileges we’d be swimming in if you could manage to hold down your engagement,” she carried o
APRILI couldn’t let her win. There’s no way she was taking Ace from under my nose. I don’t care that it makes me sound like a selfish prick. I have no intentions of every giving up any one of my three mates.They belonged to me and me alone. The moon goddess had made that crystal clear by mating me to not just one, but all three of them. I planned to jealously guide all three of them for the rest of our lives. Even if my life were to end on this very day, in the next hour, and under these nasty and unfulfilling circumstances, I would prefer to die knowing that they were all mine till I drew my last breath. No sooner, it had to be until the bitter end.While I was putting up a bold front, I was somewhat terrified about dying within the next hour. I’d planned several lifetimes with these men, but I couldn’t let this one end when we hadn’t done half of the wonderful things I had in store for us. Not when we hadn’t built a family of our own. Not when we haven’t fallen in love a milli
APRIL Brooke seemed elated to carry on with how she’d pulled off poisoning me. “Amelia was pretty oblivious to what was unfolding behind closed doors. All she got was a direct order from the Dean of Student Affairs that you’ve been further pardoned because of your academic background and should be offered a minor post,” she smiled gleefully as she carried on.I wished I could slap that smile off her face. I owed her a slap anyways. “And then, her assistant—the foolish and gullible Emma was the last peice of the puzzle. All it took for her to spike your coffee with the poison was a chance to join me for a private tour of the model agency so she could meet the models she had helpless crushes on,” she dangled a potion bottle in my face, the dark contents making my skin crawl. That had to be the poison. The one that was now wrecking my body to shreds. “Why keep yapping about your diabolical plan? Why not just shut the fuck up and let me die in peace at least?” I refused to give her t
APRIL The feeling of a palm slamming into my face harshly jerked me to life. To my horror, the first face my eyes landed on was the last one I’d seen just seconds before I lost consciousness. Brooke’s. “Wakey Wakey, slut,” she flashed me a mischievous smile. I looked around, trying to figure out what the fuck was going on. I’d gathered that she was the reckless idiot that collided into the Uber I was in since she was the person I saw after he hopped out to confront her angrily. What I didn’t understand was why I was now in the back seat of her car and being rudely awoken with a slap. Why would the driver have allowed her take me? I was his fucking passenger and his damn responsibility. When this mess was over, I’d ensure that he never drove another car in this city, and my mates would make sure of it. “Cat caught your tongue, hun? Or have you lost your manners because you’ve been chugging three cocks at once?” she said in the most annoying sing-song voice. I didn’t care one
APRIL “I’m Amelia, we spoke on the phone.”I recognized her voice when we exchanged greetings merely a second ago, but the introduction helped to confirm that it was indeed her. She was dressed in a blue pantsuit, her hair pinned to the back tightly and her expression looking serious as a heartbeat as she adjusted her glasses over the bridge of her nose and opened her laptop. “Hello, Amelia, thank you for calling me in for this interview, I’ve been looking forward to holding a post in school governance for a while now and I didn’t know I’d get an opportunity so soon,” I told her as I settled into the seat opposite her. “You’re welcome, Apr—”A knock on the door of her office cut her off and she darted her away away from the screen before her and refocused it on the door. “Who’s there?” she asked calmly. “It’s Emma, I have the coffees you requested for,” the lady who’d introduced herself to me as Amelia’s assistant when I walked in spoke from behind the door.“Oh, of course. Come
APRIL I’d thrown enough punches to put Zeus to shame. The training sessions that my mates suggested had been an absolute blast for the past few days and I was genuinely having the time of my life. At first, I thought it would be exhausting and annoying, but it turned out to be the exact opposite. Each time they taught me a new move, I felt like we’d become somewhat closer, more knitted tightly as one. The eye-opening experience of being trained by them had somehow become a means of strengthening our bond and I loved every thrilling second of it. For combat, Xander was my trainer. He was a true warrior, in guidance and in demonstration. I loved how he helped me learn my body and how to manipulate my opponent into revealing their weaknesses before every move. When it came to perseverance exercises, Nick was the master at the time wheel. He taught me how to persevere through pain and get a hit in even when every muscle in my body was begging me to retreat. He taught me patience and
ACE“She’s exhaled an unhealthy amount of dark energy and we just need to get her out of her so that she can expel it from her system. The longer we’re in this cave, the more we’re exposing her and ourselves to this nasty energy,” Xenia said, already making her way towards the exit. “Shit,” I hissed. Nick threw April over his shoulder that very second and we all made our way out of the cave as quickly as we could and got back into the helicopter. As soon as we got off the ground, the sound of April coughing as she woke up made all of us turn our attention to her. “She’s awake,” Xander and I said in unison while Nick adjusted her over his body. Slowly, she opened her eyes, looking around with deep confusion, almost like she didn’t know who she was or who we were for the first few seconds.“April, can you hear me?” Nick asked her, worry etched deeply into his every word. April looked up at him blankly, but she made no move to respond, she just kept looking between us like she was
ACEShe didn’t respond, but the deafening silence told a dreadful tale.“What the fuck? April! Can you hear me?” Xander asked despite the sinking hole that was now piercing through the mate’s bond, answering his ask. She couldn’t hear him. She wasn’t near. She was gone. “You’re scaring us April, where are you? Speak!” Nick was even far more deeply rooted in denial than Xander judging from how hopeful he seemed to hear her speak. Why did they choose to act oblivious? The mate bond was telling us more than enough, that our mate had left a gaping void in the space she was meant to occupy because she wasn’t near and she was in danger. I was about to put an end to their annoying delusions when the dark fog clouding over visions mysteriously faded. And April was nowhere to be found.We all got off the floor in a frenzy, equally panicked and confused about what had just happened. It was the strangest fucking abduction either of us had ever witnessed and what was even scarier was the fa
BROOKEI froze in place, going over a sensible response in my head and being unable to find any that didn’t make me seem like a crazed person. So, I chose to lie. “I love Ace, and I believe that we belong together, so I’ll do anything to make him realize that as well, even if it means eliminating the woman who’s feeding him nothing but lies and delusions,” I answered, nearly gagging when I said the words… I love Ace. Of course I didn’t love him, he’d never given me a reason to even like him. But that didn’t mean I wouldn’t marry him anyways, love had nothing to do with the power and fulfillment I stood to gain by marrying him. “You hate his guts. I don’t even need my powers to figure that out, there’s an undertone in your words that easily gives it away,” she saw through my lie without trying.“It doesn’t matter, he’s mine,” I bit out, unable to think up a better comeback. “I can tell that this marriage isn’t something you want. It’s something you think you need to do to be wort
BROOKEI tucked the last wad of crisp hundred dollar bills into my birkin bag, adjusting my thickly framed sunglasses over my face before walking away from the ATM.Five hundred fucking thousand dollars, to be the next Luna Jackson. I snorted at the thought, strutting towards my car while the weight of the cash weighed down my left arm that the bag was strapped over. The further I walked, the more it seemed like that money wasn’t worth spending to be Ace’s wife. What I’d much rather spend it on is a vacation to every island on the planet where I can drink countless cocktails and shake my ass on yatches. Unlike the thought of marrying Ace, that fantasy brought a huge smile to my face and sent excitement flooding through me endlessly. I didn’t let the fantasy linger though, because all it would do is make me bitter when I eventually came to the obvious conclusion that I would never be privy to such bliss. A hiss slipped my lips as that harsh realization sliced through me and I yank
