30: Black card
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Malik gave me a black card, no limit. If I were still at my house, I would check for items that needed fixing and upgrade my shoe and bag collection. But right now, I was tugging my sister along to the boutique to get whatever she wanted. It was worth noting that the former Beth wouldn’t have spent beyond a few dollars. But this Beth knew Malik gave her his card to do with it whatever she wanted. And I would.
The smell of new fabric teased our nostrils as we made our way inside. My sister stuck to my side as if afraid to ruin anything.
“Are you sure I can take anything I want?” Lynn asked. I rolled my eyes at the suspicion in her voice. Maybe this wasn’t a regular with us, but today was a pick anything you want, day. My sister shook her head when she realized I was serious. “Wow. Have I told you I love you?”
Before I could reply, she dashed to another section of the store. I stopped by the window to check the

Becca was on the stage, wearing a sash with a crown on her head as a male stripper danced all over her. The swell of his dick was evident in his leather pants, but she didn’t seem to mind as she grabbed his ass.This was her scene.Waylen was elsewhere. He disappeared into the crowd because he didn’t want to suffocate me with his presence. His words, not mine. He was unusually nice, but I wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt. Plus, I had witnessed his sweet side. I knew he could be good if he wanted. I meandered through sweaty bodies to find my other best friend. Fumi was short, so she could easily get lost in the crowd.Someone snatched my wrist. My breath returned to my lungs when I saw it was Fumi. She was among those cheering the stripper as he pulled his pants to his ankle.“Yes,” Becca screamed. I wondered what her fiancé was doing. Probably at another strip club? Those two were sure to have an

WAYLENThe man in the floor-length mirror fidgeting with his multicolored tie over a white button-down shirt was laughable. The man in front of that mirror was me. I adjusted the goddamn tie again, holding it against my shirt to decide if it was too long or not. I had attended meetings with CEOs, wealthy humans who held power in the business world, and I wasn’t this nervous. And for what? A fucking wedding. I left the tie as it was and moved to the bathroom to apply more gel to my hair. There was enough in my hair to keep it in check for a year, and it made me icky. My fingers itched to run the detachable showerhead over my scalp to rid it of the mess. Len was present, and he stared back when I looked in the mirror. He didn’t like this. Neither did I. But Beth wanted gentle and sweet. I could try to be that or at least look the part. Malik was on a buzzcut, and I had no intentions of growing my beard as long as his. Hank loved his hair gel. The few times I saw him, his hair was int
She Belongs To The Alphas 33: Ignore him
Malik was more nervous than me. He was freaking out. I grabbed his arms and locked them around my waist. His gaze lowered to my face, but his shoulders remained tense. “Baby, you have to calm down.” “You are calling a grown man baby?” “Aren’t you my baby?” I teased. It was meant to be a joke, but Malik only froze. This would be a long day. “Relax, Malik.” “What if they don’t like me?” “Have you met those girls?” Today was the wedding, and my plus-one was freaking out. It was starting to affect my mood. I should be at the venue already as one of the bridesmaids. “They’ll love you, I promise. You met them already, unofficially, but…” “Okay. I’ll take your word for it,” he said. Backing away to grab my heels, I pointed a finger at his chest. “You better do, Otis.” I slipped into my heels while Malik fussed with his attire. He had taken off the earring to appear more responsible and likable. All I wanted was for him to be himself. I strolled into the walk-in closet to pick o

“Beth.” “Elizabeth.” “My love, please wait.” They caught up to me faster than I wanted. Someone lifted me off the ground, and my face was buried against a hard chest. I sniffed, noting now the tears drying on my cheek. The smell of Malik’s cologne comforted me. He only let go when I stopped shaking but never let me get far. “My love,” Malik whispered, stroking my cheek with the back of his thumb. I tried to look away, but he cupped my face in his palms. “You are not a slut or whatever stupid name he conjured back there.” “I don’t care about Ian or what he says,” I said. Malik’s lips thinned. He looked like he wanted to say more but was allowing me to speak my mind. Waylen was by his side, deathly silent and fuming. From Malik’s bruised knuckle, I knew he was the one to hit Ian. I’ve always wanted him to lose his cool, but never like this. “I ruined my best friend’s wedding. No drama, but you two brought a truckload of drama.” “We brought drama?” Waylen yelled. He was in my f
She Belongs To The Alphas 35: Point painfully taken
The bed was empty when my eyes opened. I rolled over to Malik’s side, crushing the pillow barriers that separated us throughout the night. I was surprised they lasted, but I guess he was a man of his words. His side was still warm. Where did he go this early? Today was Sunday, he didn’t have to work. Still in only his T-shirt, I wandered to the bathroom for my morning routine. The events of yesterday flooded my mind. I tried to block out everything, but Waylen’s words bounced in my head as I ran the brush over my teeth. We needed to talk, and maybe fuck to let off some steam. The last time we fucked was the day of that party. Putting that ultimatum on sex had felt like a good idea because I didn’t expect him to last. His hatred for Malik ran deeper than his need for sex. Point painfully taken.All done, I returned to the room and Malik was still nowhere to be found. I grabbed my cell from the nightstand and messaged the girls, repeating apologies I already gave last night. Our gro
She Belongs To The Alphas 36: Someone was watching
MALIK I saw the explosion from afar, and my foot stomped on the brake. I wasn’t sure who was driving. Me or Otis? The sirens grew louder, and the fire trucks became visible as my car neared the restaurant where I dropped Elizabeth hours ago. I held my breath, my movement on autopilot. The firefighters rained water on the source of the explosion. Fuck. The fire resisted for a few seconds but eventually succumbed. Smoke rose to the sky, making my eyes water. I parked a few feet from the accident scene and covered the remaining distance on foot. The indistinguishable scents of rogues welcomed me. I looked around but was too distracted by the small crowd at the entrance to identify the main source. My chest caved, and my breath failed as I tried Elizabeth’s number again. I should have refused. All it took were those fucking puppy eyes of hers. Elizabeth was nowhere to be found in the group helping to handle the mess, and her number wasn’t connecting. Waylen would kill me if so much

MALIKWaylen was still ignoring me. The incident with Fumi’s car happened thirty hours ago, and in those times, I had called and texted him a dozen times, but all the calls went to voicemail, and the texts were unanswered. I shook my arms to rid them of the tension building in my joints. Elizabeth was in her office. My phone buzzed on the desk. The call ended before I could pick up my phone, and a message entered. It wasn’t from Waylen but Ansgar. I told him about the accident over the phone last night and put him in charge of getting the police report. Something must have triggered the explosion. Something or even someone. Kane might have answers, but I couldn’t contact him because I was yet to update the report. I had no intentions of doing that and needed to find a great excuse before the next meeting. I replied to Ansgar’s text, letting him know he could visit the office. A tap on my space bar brought the monitor screen back to life. The list on my screen was incomplete, and

Waylen had no excuse for missing my calls or ignoring my texts. Okay, maybe he did. But if he could set aside his ego, we would hash things out. This was new territory for us all, yet he was acting like I brought this on myself. My life was in danger, and there was no time for baseless accusations. I tensed as Malik’s car slowed before the gates of Parker Agency. Hitting the button on my door panel, the window rolled down. I waved at the guard who stopped us from entering. He smiled on recognizing me, stepping back to wave at his colleague. The gate opened, and Malik found a parking spot far behind Waylen’s car. He took my hands before I opened the door. “You don’t have to do this alone, you know?” Malik murmured. The other option was impossible. Waylen would throw us both out of his office the second his eyes landed on Malik. I offered him a small smile and pulled my hands from his grasp. Smoothening his brows to keep my hands from shaking, I rolled my shoulders to show him I g

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

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

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

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
