Dorian's POVI stormed to my room and slammed the door behind me. I grabbed the pillow on my bed and ripped it apart angrily, letting the fluff litter the floor.The two girls were still on the bed, and they jumped in fright and huddled in the corner of the bed, trying to escape my rage.I glared at them and saw one of them gulp in fear.“What the fuck are you two still doing here?! Get out! Now!"They scrambled to their feet, hurriedly dressed, and took the rest of their clothes downstairs.I shut the door angrily behind them and stood in the room, heaving angrily. How dare she slap me?! Who did she think that she was? I balled my hands into a fist and punched the wall with fury, leaving a dent in the concrete and a little crack.I had never imagined that she would retaliate. That witch! I was going to make her pay dearly, and I was going to make sure of it. I was going to make her life a misery. I was going to make her suffer.I stood in the mirror and looked at my face. My lips c
April's POVI walked down the street to the carpentry shop. There was no way I would sleep with my door broken down like that. I had to go and buy some hinges and try and get the door in order.I got to the shop and immediately went down the aisles, looking for what I wanted. The entire time, I could only think about Dorian. I had made up my mind to reject him and resist him, but there was no way that he was going to make it easy for me. He was a monster.I also tried to get the thought of the kiss out of my head, but I just couldn't. Every now and then, I would touch my lips with my fingers, and the thought would spring into my head.Finally, I found the hinges, and I picked about four of them, along with some screws and nails, and headed to the counter.I got there, and it was empty, and I began to ring the small bell on the counter. Almost instantly, an old man came in from the inner room and as soon as he looked at me, his mouth fell wide open.“You are a striking image of your fa
Dorian's POV “And where do you think you two are going?"I glared at the both of them in disgust, but April remained silent. “Answer me, April. Who is this? Is this who you were with the other day? Is this who you were talking to on the phone?"Suddenly, she snapped back at me rudely.“I have no idea what you are talking about, and last I checked Dorian, that information was none of your business."I was stunned and growled angrily at her. That little brat was overstepping her boundaries, and I was going to put her back in her place.I glared at her furiously, and she began to spill.“Jacob is from the carpentry store, and he is here to fix the door of my room if you must know."I suddenly stared at Jacob, and he stared back at me with calmness and gentleness in his eyes. He was tall and muscular, and his physique stood out as he stood perfectly still with the large wooden board balanced on his shoulder.“Carpentry shop? Really? Then why haven't I seen him before?"Jacob spoke back
April's POV We both watched Jacob leave, and I felt embarrassed. Dorian was so infuriating. I turned back to him, and my heart skipped a beat at the icy stare he shot me. I wanted to leave Dorian where he was, follow Jacob to the car, and apologise for Dorian's jerkish behaviour. “Well, well, April, you really are a slut,” He said in a low tone, with disappointment. “One minute, You are on the phone with one guy and the next, you bring a different one to the house to rekindle your childhood passion. I am barely disappointed in you."I looked at him, stunned. What was his problem?"At least I don't bring them back to the house and take them into my room and have a loud, clumsy threesome with them," I retorted angrily.Dorian snarled at me, and I gasped softly.“And since when did you start talking back to your Alpha? Or have you forgotten the pack rules so soon?”My mouth immediately clamped shut, and I looked at Dorian with so much hate and disdain. I wish that I could stare at him,
April's POV The next morning, I was up quite late. The sun was high in the sky, and when I looked at my bedside clock, it was almost 8:00 a.m.My door was as good as new, and in the far corner of my room, I had neatly packed Jacob's tools, nails and screws.It was a school day, and I couldn't stay in bed forever. I sighed. Deep down, I wished I could disappear into my covers and be hidden from the world for all eternity.Life for me was now miserable, and there was nothing good to expect any morning.I got out of the bathroom and rummaged through my closet for something decent to wear to school. I finally settled for some dark jeans and a plain shirt. The last thing I needed was to draw attention to myself. I wanted to stay hidden in plain sight.I knew that there was no breakfast waiting for me, so I wasn't even bothered to head to the dining table. As I tried to sneak out of the front door, an airy and mocking voice called out to me.My eyes grew wider. No, it couldn't be.“Hello,
April's POV I froze as Susan glared at me.“And what exactly do you need to tell me about April?” She asked Paige, not taking her eyes away from me.Page stuck out her lower lip like a little child and began to talk in gentle and quiet tones as if she had never done anything wrong her entire life.“At school, April was caught stealing money from another student. It was so embarrassing, and then Dorian had to get involved, and I could only imagine the shame he felt when he heard what she did. Her actions brought shame and embarrassment to the Alpha family, and I just thought it was something you should know about. I wouldn't want Dorian's name to be tarnished or yours either, but she needs to be controlled.”I could see the colour in Susan's cheeks come to life as she trembled with fury, glaring daggers at me."You did what?!”In a split second, she grabbed a plate and hurled it in my direction. I ducked fast and just in time, as it missed my head by a few inches and flew right by me,
April's POV I hopped in the car, and Jacob and I pulled out of the driveway. In a few minutes, we were cruising down the road.There was silence between us, and the only thing that could be heard was the cool music playing on the car stereo. I clutched my bag and looked out the window, admiring the passing trees as the cool morning breeze whipped my hair around me.“Hey, April, can I ask you something?” said Jacob, turning to me briefly.“Sure. What's up?”He took a deep breath and turned back to the road. “I know that this is none of my business, but I heard all the commotion when I came by this morning. Is everything okay? Anything that you want to talk about?"I gulped nervously and turned away. Was I really supposed to be surprised? Of course, he had heard all of Susan's angry yelling. But I couldn't tell him that I was having problems at home. The last thing I needed was for him to get involved.“Everything is fine. There was just a little accident, and a couple of plates broke
Dorian's POVI had woken up quite early that morning and was getting some work done when I heard angry screams and the sound of breaking china.I tried to tune out the noise, and luckily, it all died down. In curiosity, I stood up and went to see what all the commotion was about. I stood upstairs, leaned on the bannister, and watched April open the door while Jacob stood there.As soon as I saw him, I was irritated and angry. What was that pathetic carpenter boy doing here?I saw April come upstairs, and as she came out of her room, she was holding his tools and equipment in her arms. She acted like she didn't see me and only locked eyes with me just as she was leaving the house with that pathetic boy.I had watched from my room window as she got into his car, and they pulled out of the driveway. She was riding with him in his car? That slut! I gripped the bannister in anger and headed downstairs for breakfast. The commotion had died down, and the house was quiet and peaceful again.
