PLAYTHING OF THE ALPHA PREDATORS 93: I intend to fuck you out of my system
APRILSomehow, Nick’s voice had cut through my unconsciousness and woken me right up. The exhaustion wiped from my eyes like magic when I heard him yelling at Ace downstairs and I forced myself to jump to my feet. The amount of embarrassment that overwhelmed me when I realized that I’d been found out was maddening, crippling in fact, the kind that made want to pull my hair out from its roots. The more I heard him speak, the guiltier I felt about how things had played out. I regretted not just taking a cab to his house after Ace left me in the lecture hall with instructions to meet him by his car. It was dumb of me to think he wouldn’t find me where I hid to get through to Nick, and now I was paying gravely for my foolishness. The hurt in Nick’s voice tore through me as I hurried to the guest room and bolted the door behind me. I didn’t think I could ever face him, I would literally die from the shame. No fucking way. I just… I couldn’t. Things got even worse when him and Nick fig

NICKIt didn’t stop. Even after I barged in and lost it, it carried on. Hours before I stormed Ace’s house, I was in severe pain because my wolf could feel my mate being touched by another man in ways that only I should’ve gotten to touch her. It was sickening, infuriating, shattering. To sum it all better, it was undoubtedly the worst feeling in the world. The pain was so crippling that I couldn’t find the strength to move until the sex was over, that’s the only reason why I hadn’t barged in much earlier. And it killed me to witness how nonchalant and uncaring Ace was about everything when I confronted him. Let’s not get into the things I saw when I walked into that bondage room. That fucking broke me. To literal bits. With jealousy, rage, and disappointment. Knowing that he’d subjected her to all that and the place was reeking of orgasms and sex made me so furious that I could barely see clearly. To worsen things, she refused to leave with me. Refused to even acknowledge me. Re

NICKI could’ve left when she turned her back on me, but I just couldn't move. It felt like I was nailed into that spot and forced to watch her walk away. The way her shoulders were slopped defeatedly and her head was hung low made my heart hurt even more. I wished I could take her in my arms and promise her that everything would be fine, that I’d make sure of it even though its the last thing I ever did, even though it would cost me everything. But I knew she wouldn’t appreciate me going after her and badgering her even more. After the day she’s had, she was probably sick of anyone trying to bug her into doing something she didn’t fully feel up to, so there would be no point in trying any harder than I already had. Since I’d clearly exceeded my limit with her, I needed to let out these hellish emotions raging through me on someone else. Ace. My wolf growled in agreement within me and the next thing I knew, I’d set off to Xander’s house. We had each other’s locations synced, so I

NICK For a second, some part of me tried to dissuade me for throwing something he was vulnerable about back in his face, but I refused to be swayed in my decision. He’d trampled and spat on my feelings repeatedly since yesterday, and now it was my turn to do the same. “A silly threat huh?” I chuckled bitterly, “well, here’s a much better one.” The way his eyes darkened disturbingly signaled to me that he could guess what I was about to throw at him already, but he didn’t flinch just yet, maybe because he assumed I wouldn’t stoop that low even when he was being an insufferable fool.Well, he thought wrong and I was glad to prove that. “The next time you pull that foolish stunt of blackmailing her to do your bidding, I’ll make sure the entire world sees the pathetic evidence of how badly you spiraled after your first break up and almost got hooked on drugs,” I warned, a deep frown etched into my features as I spoke. In a flash, he was on his feet, eyes glowering with that of his w

APRILApparently, he wasn’t the type who backed out in the face of adversary. The adversary in this situation being my scandalous hours of being railed by one of my mate’s best friends. The fact that Nick put all the blame on Ace didn’t sit right with me, especially since I knew how much I’d enjoyed every second of being punished and fucked until there was no ounce of energy or orgasms left in me.The worst part of it all? I still had flashbacks of the entire night during classes and I had to fight off the urge to touch myself to the memories in the shower. That’s exactly why I didn’t feel worthy of all the effort Nick was putting into reaching out to me. While Ace was an asshole whose guts I detested, he didn’t deserve to take all the heat for what happens between us, besides it takes two to tango and I was a willing second after my arousal overpowered my logic. Because I felt like I didn’t deserve any of the affection and care Nick was showing me, I decided to stop responding to

APRIL I looked at the open package in my hand again and smiled, then threw my hands around his neck, hugging him tightly. “Thank you so much,” I peppered his cheeks with kisses as I pulled away. I don’t know why I didn’t think of changing my phone number, but it was so sweet that he thought of it and got me new sims, which allowed me to switch numbers as I pleased so his friends wouldn’t bug me anymore. “Anytime, sunshine,” he beamed at me as he started the car. We rode to the cinema while singing along to some rap songs that he was absolutely shocked I could sing. The fact that I knew every lyric was all thanks to my photographic memory, but I teased him by saying it’s because I was smarter than him, even when it came to memorizing lines. By the time we got the the cinema, I was fresh out of laughter from how he kept whining each time I knew a lyric that he’d forgotten. We held hands as we walked into the cinema, and as usual, every staff that attended to us commented on how g

NICK She had to be furious after hearing that confession. Right? Unsure of what to do, I found myself searching for an a explanation to justify why I’d stuck my nose where it didn’t belong without her permission. “I just… I couldn’t watch them treat you so badly and do nothing, I know it wasn’t my place to infringe on your privacy and make that decision, but I had to help somehow,” I rushed out the words, hoping they made sense to her. I couldn’t read April’s emotions even through the mate bond right now.It was just blank, but sometime around when she was questioning me, I’d felt uncertain if hanging in the air around her. Now, there was nothing, almost like her ability to feel had vanished into thin air. “Thanks for your help and your honesty,” she said in a robotic tone and started on her way out of the cinema, not holding my arm like she was before that fool stormed in and ruined a perfect night. Unsure what to make of her reaction, I just followed quietly behind her, and ev

APRIL Each time I thought that Nick couldn’t possibly outdo himself, he proved me wrong. Even after all the amazing ways he’d had my back of late, realizing that he’d paid off my debt was the most flooring realization. I knew that he would go to endless lengths to make me happy, but I never thought anyone could spend thousands of dollars on me and keep quiet about it. He truly did it from a good place because anyone else would have flaunted it and held it over my head. The burden of being indebted to those loan sharks for years and being treated like a literal slave just so they could keep mooching of me was something that kept me up at night and had made me cry several times. The fact that he’d finally relieved me of it was literally the best thing anyone had ever done for me. When he said that he was now my family, he truly meant it, and he’d been proving it at every turn. However, when he admitted to being the one that had paid my debts, I wasn’t sure how to react. I just fel

PLAYTHING OF THE ALPHA PREDATORS EPILOGUE
PROLOGUEAPRIL“Sandy, stop making your brother cry. You promised that you wouldn't do that today, remember?” I groaned as my oldest child terrorized her little brother. She shrugged, laughing, the mischievous glint in her eyes matching that of one of her dads whose character she’d inherited; Ace. “It’s so easy to make him cry, I promise I wasn't even trying. I’m just being myself,” she flipped her dark lush hair over her shoulders, the glossy and stunning sight also resembling that of her fathers. She was such a daddy’s girl that she took every last bit of her being from them; her drop dead gorgeous looks and her fearless, stubborn personality. According to her dads, she got her stubbornness from me and not them, but I refused to believe that. “Sweetheart, putting a worm in your brother’s shoe doesn't count as being yourself,” Nick stifled laughter as he walked into the living room, dressed handsomely in suit that was identical to our son Samuel’s. “I’m a prankster and an anima

APRIL“Well, it’s a good thing I know exactly where that asshole is,” Nick’s mom said, the anger in her voice superseding his.At least Xenia’s trip across the world had proven to be the answer to our problems. But now, we had yet another broken hearted mate to add to the mix, and just like me, the pain sprung from parental issues. However, there was no time to dwell on that. The moon goddess had given us an opportunity to reclaim the peace in our city, so we had to focus our all on that. After the city was secure, we'd find a way to tend to our broken hearts and find the emotional healing we all deserve.But for now, all that mattered was find Nick’s monster of a father and putting and end to his evil attacks. “Are you sure this is the place, mom?” Nick asked as we pulled into the empty driveway of an abandoned factory in the middle of nowhere. “I'm certain. I'll never forget it because I traced his assets all over the city in a bid to uncover proof of his evil agenda, but he cau

APRILWe all followed behind him, running until we stopped outside what seemed to be a prison cell. There was a woman dressed in tattered clothes and covered in dust cowering in a corner and hugging her knees to her chest, and something about her was oddly familiar. My mates also seemed shocked by her presence, but not in the same way that I was. The look in their eyes told me that they knew something about this mystery woman that I didn't know. Before I could even ask about it, Nick grabbed the iron bars and broke them off with a deep growl before running into the cell and wrapping his arms around the woman. That? That was the most confusing thing I’d ever witnessed. And I needed answers right now.I started to stomp towards the cell when Nick said a word that made me freeze in place, understanding washing over me in a thousand waves. “Mom! It’s you!”I blinked repeatedly, awfully confused. “Mom?” Ace and Xander looked away from the emotional reunion unfolding before us and nodd

APRILGlinda was confirmed to have been dead for good, but our hellish experiences still didn't cease after her death. Personally, I was still grieving my mother and the wonderful life I would've enjoyed with my parents if she hadn't swooped in and turned things upside down. My mother’s burial was an emotional moment for me and I broke down completely while delivering the eulogy. The guys even had to come upstage and keep from falling apart some more. The days that followed weren't any greener, especially with the dark void around the city worsening and swallowing us into a vortex while I was still grieving.Of course we were terribly confused as to why the spiritual attacks had carried on even after Glinda’s death, but no one had a reasonable answer to that. It was fucking frustrating having to watch people in pain almost every damn day. It sucked the humanity out of one’s soul and replaced it with nothing but bitterness. The only thing that was clear to me about the pattern of

APRIL“You rotten lads, you couldn’t just mind your damn business? This is your fathers’ karma, why did you have to dig your stupid snotty noses in it?” she hissed angrily, overly displeased that she’d been found out by us.“We should be asking the questions,” I responded, upset that she hadn’t even made an effort to explain herself, “we came here thinking this whole fiasco was orchestrated by Glinda, only to see that it’s you, mom?!” The disappointment in my voice was thick, but she obviously didn’t give a shit about my feelings because she broke into hysterical laughter. “Mom? I’m not your fucking mom you idiotic little whore,” she rolled her eyes, and then she snapped her fingers, causing her face and physical appearance to warp instantly. Suddnely, she was a silver-haired woman with countless ancient tattoos of the moon and a shiv stuck in her heart that told us more than we needed to know. Later on, the Alphas had given us a more detailed tale of the day they finally took dow

APRIL It’s been almost a month of back to back horrors breaking out in the city.We’d successfully chased the rogues out of the city and the sorceres were stationed alongside the armies by the borders, making sure that no more enemies were able to breach our defenses and get in.Heaps of bodies had been buried over the weeks and the entire town was reeking of grief. Loved ones were being mourned in different corners of the city were candles were lit beside framed photos and bouquets of flowers. Each photo of the dead that I saw brought me close to tears, but for children’s photos, my heart literally ached and felt like it was going to explode. Living in a place that was shrouded with pain and darkness was suffocating. Even though the sun came out each day, it felt like there was a dark void enveloping the city because everyone was in a sunken mood. We had to find Glinda and put an end to her attacks before the city was ruined beyond saving. Our search for her so far has proven fu

APRILThe ticking clock in the ICU waiting room was the only audible sound.Xander had been taken in for an emergency operation a while ago and we were still waiting to hear back from the doctors.When we arrived at the hospital, he was barely breathing, and it seemed like they might’ve stopped his heart for the surgery because I couldn’t feel even a shred of his presence through the bond. On our way to the hospital, we’d dropped Natalie at one of the safety bunkers where security and magic borders were keeping people safe. If she was here, she’d have been a great distraction for me. And god, I’d do anything to be distracted from this godawful unending pain. My chest fucking hurt. Every nerve in my body was on literal fire. My head was pounding as though a line up of high school bands were in a competition. All I could think of was the pitiful state we’d found Xander in a while ago. The way he looked helpless and near death’s door. The way his blood was like a second skin masking

APRILThe city was a mess. A bloody one.“Natalie, stop using your fucking phone or you’re going to get us killed,” I whispered to my best friend whose face was a mess of dry tears. She glared at me. “If I’m going to die, I need Hector to know that he was the best sex I ever had and I always wished we became more.” I frowned at her, both disturbed and confused that she’d picked that as the most important thing to put in order in a life and death situation. What a freaking clown.“Nat, I’ve told you a thousand times, you’re not going to die,” I bit out, “Nick asked us to stay hidden here and he’ll come get us, and I know he will.”I reminded her of the instruction we’d gotten almost an hour ago when chaos broke out in the city.Apparently, some rogues breached the city’s gates and began to brutally attack every living thing in sight. They've been killing anything in their way and no one is exempt from their wrath.Not women. Not innocents. Not children. Not animals. It was a battle

XANDER Today, just like every other day for the last two weeks, we’d split up to search for Brooke. April was able to fully recover from the effects of the poison she was heartlessly fed by Brooke after a full day or more. Once we were certain that she was in a perfectly healthy state, we decided to go on a hunt for Brooke to make her pay for hurting our precious mate.No one seemed to know where she was. No one had seen her since she ran off that day. Even the city cameras had no footage of her since that day. It was almost like she’d vanished into thin air after that day, but we refused to give up on our search.We even had the authorities officially interrogate everyone she knew, especially those she worked with at her modeling agency, but no one had any reasonable information to share with us that would narrow her search.Even her personal assistant only heard that she was missing from us, he’d assumed she was taking a mental health break when she didn’t come to the office for
