17: A fool in love

There was something Elizabeth wasn’t telling me, something else Waylen told her about me. Could I blame her when I was also keeping my own secrets from her?
After a long day working from home, we went to the hospital to visit her mom. I was tired, and my only sane thoughts involved crawling into bed with my mate. She must have had the same idea because she rushed inside as soon as I unlocked the front door.
Our Christmas tree was still there. I did it for her. I did it to earn my mate’s warmth. Yesterday, she freaked me out with her aloofness. I wasn’t ashamed to say I was madly in love with her. I was a fool in love.
I hugged Elizabeth from behind before she could go further into the living room. She didn’t have to rush to the room. We could bathe together. Except for that slip in my office on Thursday, my cock had been nowhere near her pussy, and I would keep it that way as long as I could.

She Belongs To The Alphas 18: For Malik
Malik hadn’t returned yet, and I was starting to have an awful feeling about this. Something was off about his behavior tonight. My feet rapped against the floor in impatience. If Malik promised to come back, he would. But he was taking too long.Something was wrong.The ceiling lights flickered to life as I hit the switch. I stared down at my bloodied fingers. It wasn’t my blood. It was Malik’s. It must have happened when I touched him. But how was that possible? Was he okay?What was I doing here while my man was hurting? I raced to his room. Empty.My heart dipped to my stomach. I rushed down the stairs. Where could he be? Was it because I made him break his promise to stay away from me? Every thought of staying away had flown out of my head the second he joined me on that bed. I was so horny I couldn’t control myself. I had been touching myself before he came, and only when he touched me did I get my release.

I hadn’t stopped smiling since my second orgasm. My pussy was sore but in a good way. There were many other ways to have fun without sex, and we were both learning that. I dished our breakfast into two plates and dropped them on the tray. The footsteps pounding against the floor made me spin.“Malik,” I almost growled. He still looked weak. I should have allowed him a few hours of recovery before riding his face. I pointed at the door. “Back to the room.”He smirked. “Bossy.”My resolve weakened as Malik stepped forward and pried the tray from me to drop it on the counter. I stood still as he drew me into an embrace. His hands moved lower and lower until they were cupping my ass.“I thought you left for work,” he muttered.“Why would I do that?” I asked, stepping out of his arms before the contact muddled my brain. “I told you to get some rest, didn’t I, Malik? You’

I freaked out. I freaked out and ran out on Malik with the excuse of making a phone call.From the bathroom, I could hear Malik pacing his room. My phone was in my hand, and I was thinking of who to call to make my excuse seem genuine. Becca was too busy for a phone call. Fumi was too engrossed with being Becca’s matron of honor to take second glances at her phone. You would think it was her wedding with how involved she was. They were both yet to meet Waylen or Malik officially. I wasn’t looking forward to it. Becca might care less, but I couldn’t say about Fumi.My phone rang, helping me make that decision. Waylen. I picked up immediately but didn’t give him a chance to speak.“You need to accept Malik,” I started.“Did he put you up to this?”I glared at myself in the mirror, turning on the tap to appear busy. The glass shower behind me looked inviting. I glimpsed the bath tub beh

MALIKAlice, Elizabeth’s mom, was giving me the stink eye. If my daughter showed up at my hospital bed with a new man a few days after visiting with her boyfriend, I would probably do the same thing. Or maybe worst.“Who are you again?” Alice asked.Elizabeth had introduced me three times already. My darling squeezed my hand, silently begging me not to pick offense. I wouldn’t. I dared not. Being inside here with her mother was a privilege I wanted.“Malik. Malik Sterling.”Alice sneered. Lynn looked more like her than Beth did. She turned to her first daughter.“Who did you say this man was?”“My boyfriend,” came the reply. Alice and I gasped. Elizabeth introduced me earlier as her friend, and I was okay with it. “Malik is my boyfriend. And my new boss, Mom.”Alice composed herself better and faster than I did. My jaw had unhinged. El

WAYLENMe: You fucking piece of shit. I hope your next rut kills you.“No,” I said to myself, shaking my head as I stared at the phone. My office was empty, so each word out of my lips echoed after me. Beth should be behind that desk, yet she was working with Malik. “Asshole.”I deleted the words on my phone screen and typed something less violent.Me: The world is a better place without you in it.Not so violent but still harsh. Beth would have a brain aneurysm if she read the text instead of Malik. I repeated the process of deleting and trying to come up with a nicer text to the fool separating me from my mate.Me: Why don’t you just die? Fuck out of our lives?Not nice. Fuck. I banged my fist on my desk. Sending a text message shouldn’t be this tough. My fingers ran through my hair, tugging hard. I stared at Beth’s desk, and the unsolicited memories from her last time here unfolde

MALIKWaylen was pacing the lot when I stepped out of the building to meet him. When he saw me, he stormed toward me and grabbed me by the collar. One sniff of the air, and he let go, backing as far away from me as he could like I was made of silver.“Christ, you smell of her.”“I do,” I replied, and my smile grew. “She is the reason I’m just coming down now.”“Fuck you,” he snapped.Waylen was fuming, but I couldn’t care less about his silly jealousy. Elizabeth’s needs should come before both of ours, but he seemed to have forgotten that. Our duty was to make her so goddamn happy, but we have both been shitty at it, mostly him, anyway.“The only person I’m interested in fucking is Elizabeth,” I said. Waylen growled. I wasn’t bothered about him shifting since the staff at this branch were my pack members. I took a step forward

WAYLENGovernor Kane wasn’t happy with me. His annoyance radiated off the walls of his home office. It didn’t help that I was delaying him from attending the new year’s party a few seconds away from starting. The host being absent or late for his party didn’t look good for him, but I couldn’t care less about it. He had answers to questions I hadn’t even asked. I leaned forward until my thighs touched his desk.“I know he did it.”“Did he?” Kane countered. I tried to keep my façade, but it was nearly impossible when the governor and head of the council was glaring at you. He picked up a compact mirror from the table and fixed his already perfect hair. “Suddenly, you care about that?”“I’ve always cared about that,” I replied.Kane braced his forearms on the desk, holding my gaze until I internally squirmed. I hated the similarities we sha

WAYLENBeth looked beautiful as always in her green sweater dress and the leggings hugging her ass. My perverted mind pictured her standing naked with only the heels. I looked around. The lobby was empty except for the man behind the counter. He didn’t look our way as I stepped in for a kiss or hug that never happened. Because my mate backed away before our bodies could make that contact.Nice one, Malik. She used to run to my touch.“Beth,” I finally replied.Her heartbeat accelerated. My presence still stirred feelings in her. She spun on her heels and headed for the elevator, knowing I would follow. I tried to collect her bag, but she was quicker. The air in the elevator vanished once I stepped in. I punched in my floor number and leaned back on the wall.“What’s that?” I pointed to the bag she refused me to carry. “Spending the night?”“In your dreams,” she hissed out.

She Belongs To The Alphas 52: Make me yours
The door shut after Malik, and I switched off the lights. Sleeping was futile. I tossed and turned until I fell into a fitful sleep. The following day, I was still cranky. I splashed water on my face and made my way into his room. He was seated on the bed. But I ignored him as I walked past to the bathroom to get the spare toothbrush. I finished brushing and returned to meet him in that same position. He looked exhausted. What was I even doing here in his room? I had a toothbrush in the guest room. I was supposed to be ignoring my mate, but worry gnawed at my chest. Folding my arms on my chest, I tapped my foot on the floor, and he slowly lifted his head to meet my gaze. Sad, gray eyes connected with mine. My insides tingled, but I scowled. “Are you okay?” I almost barked. “No.” His reply floored me. The softness of his voice made my arms drop to my sides. Did he transition at night? Except from the tiredness in his eyes, he looked okay. “C
She Belongs To The Alphas 51: And honest
No, no, no. This was not my Malik, even if they looked alike and my body liked him. One, he was acting weird and more aggressive. His eyes constantly flicked between green and gray like he was contesting with his wolf. My thighs throbbed, not only from being in his presence but because they had been forced open while his fingers assaulted my pussy. I needed him so badly that as he ignored my plea to stop and continued thrusting into my wetness, part of me wanted him to keep going until my orgasm. But I also needed to put my foot down. If I could punish Waylen, I could punish Malik too. “Malik,” I called out, my voice louder. My body reacted in all the ways it should, and he continued to use that to his advantage. “What?” he barked, an unusual chill in his voice. He retracted his fingers to suck them clean. His eyes were different colors. One gray, one green. I didn’t know who was in charge. “Wolf got your tongue? Can’t talk anymore?
She Belongs To The Alphas 50: Forgive me
MALIKThe weekend passed, and we were still not on talking terms. Elizabeth was back to the office. Except for passing vital information when necessary, she wouldn’t talk or look at me. I loved my mate, I needed her, but if she wasn’t sure how she felt about me anymore, maybe some space would be good for her. Staying in the guestroom hadn’t improved her mood. It was worse. I parked in the garage, and as usual, Elizabeth stepped out of the car without waiting for me to open her door. That didn’t bother me as much as knowing she would head into the guestroom and I wouldn’t see her until tomorrow morning. The council was a part of me. I had separated myself enough from them by refusing to be a part of the table. But I couldn’t cut ties with them. Not right now. Governor Kane raised me. I still reported to him. I followed after my mate without trying to make conversation. It was futile. Nothing I said would be good enough. After a quick shower, I turned
She Belongs To The Alphas 49. His silly, gullible Elizabeth
My head was reeling. I was baffled. He lied. Malik lied to me. I walked back to the guestroom door to be sure it was locked. God, I wanted to leave this place. But the only option was with Waylen. He would gloat. I fell back to the bed with a sob, my hands covering my face as I let it all out. Fumi could have died. What was the point? To endear himself to me? That was unlike him. Puffing out a breath, I kicked off my shoes and tucked myself in bed without changing out of my dress. I fell into a fitful sleep and woke up feeling even more awful. My eyes were bloodshot red. My mind and body were exhausted. I tried to forget the conversation from yesterday, but it rolled back in too slowly to be ignored. Slumping into the seat in front of the mirror, I patted my cheeks and forced a smile to my lips. Thinking that I still had to go to work today made me want to return to bed and cry myself to sleep again. I defended Malik against Waylen so many t

MALIKElizabeth and Waylen looked perfect with her seated on his lap. I was almost hesitant to call their attention to me, but it only took a few seconds for Waylen to notice me. My hand raised in a wave that never happened. There was something different about him, not anything callous but relaxing. I slipped onto the couch opposite them as Elizabeth smiled. I knew how to tackle angry Waylen, but this version was something else. Scary. “Malik,” Elizabeth said. I noticed his arm on her waist. Instead of creating any more awkwardness by having her come to hug or kiss me, I stretched out my hand to her, and she placed hers over it. I dropped a kiss on her knuckles, and she chuckled. She was happy, the happiest I had seen her in a while. I couldn’t say if Waylen saw it, but this was what I meant when I always said, her happiness depended on both of us. “Did you have any trouble locating the place?” “No. It was pretty easy, love.” Waylen was

WAYLENI thought my day was good when I received an early morning nude from Beth. But it had only gotten better. A sleeping Beth snuggled in my arms while I worked was better than a picture of her naked body. Her chest rose and fell with each breath. It hadn’t taken too long for her to fall asleep after her release. I kissed my mate’s hair, smiling as my fingers worked on the laptop. Kane didn’t have any more people to kill from my end. Beth was safe. Alice and Evelyn were also in safe hands. The only unresolved issue was my relationship with Malik. I agreed to the meeting for Beth’s sake. She had been so generous with those pictures, but above that was the exhaustion. I was tired of our constant fights. Kane hadn’t provided the evidence yet. But until he did, I could pretend to tolerate Malik. A whimper from my mate made my fingers halt. Beth stirred but didn’t make any other move. I finished typing out the letter and closed the file. We needed replac
She Belongs To The Alphas 46: To ruin or to mend
Today was a good day to reach out to Waylen again. I had learned that a nude was the fastest way to get a reply from him, so I went into the bathroom to get two pictures of me before texting him. Malik had left for work already. I would join him later. If I got Waylen to meet me, then Malik would be joining us at the venue. The time for games was over. They needed to talk so we could find a permanent solution to the council and prevent another painful rut for Malik. I also wanted my freedom and independence, that of my sister and mom too. They couldn’t go anywhere without someone watching. It was an exhausting life for all of us involved. Waylen hadn’t replied yet. The message hadn’t been read, so I figured he was busy. I smeared my lipstick with my index finger, covering every inch of my lips with red. My dress was knee-length and easily accessible. Hopefully, I could get a real dick today. If not Malik’s, then Waylen’s. My phone rang as I finished with my m
She Belongs To The Alphas 45: Falling apart
WAYLENThe lines on the paper blurred the longer I stared. I tapped the tip of my pen to the sheet, creating a bigger dot on the same spot. Firing Beth or having her quit had to be at the top of the most stupid things I had done in my life. I yanked my tie, loosening it as I kicked my legs out. I hadn’t gotten a new assistant and probably wouldn’t until she returned to work. I rechecked my phone to see if she had sent another picture of her boobs. When she sent that one on Friday, I had gone into the nearest bathroom to check for her. My forgiveness couldn’t be earned so quickly, but it didn’t mean I couldn’t have fun while at it. The only genuine apology she owed me was for always throwing Malik in my face, putting me second when I should be first. I was her first mate, the one who decided how things would go with her and Malik. Thoughts of Beth took a backseat as I stared at my desk. I bunched the paper and tossed it in the trash can by the door. My finger
