30: Black card
Malik 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
She Belongs To The Alphas 32: Be yourself
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

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
