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
She Belongs To The Alphas 37: Car bomb
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
She Belongs To The Alphas 38: Leave
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
She Belongs To The Alphas 39: And my heart
MALIK Elizabeth stormed out of the building, only pausing to catch her breath. I unlocked my door but didn’t step out so she could have some moments to herself. My fingers curled as she massaged her wrists. Waylen wouldn’t hurt her. He wouldn’t dare. I put a foot out of the car, but Elizabeth resumed walking, so I stayed back. She entered the passenger seat and shut the door quietly. “Let’s go,” she whispered. I placed a hand on her knee and squeezed. She flashed me a smile and stared out the window. I started the car and killed the engine. From the look of things, she didn’t get the list, and Waylen did something else. “What happened?” I asked. Staring at her thighs, she said, “Nothing.” “Elizabeth.” I held her hand reaching for the seatbelt and stalled. There were faint imprints of a person’s hand on her wrists. I ran my fingertips over them. “He did this?” “He was in a mood,” Elizabeth answered. Her head fell back, and she met my gaze. She looked and sounded defeated, and th

Waylen was a grudge-keeper. If I didn’t care about him, I would have left him to his devices and anger, but I did. So, I was stuck, and it was affecting my relationship with Malik. We hadn’t spoken about the list since we left Waylen’s office two days ago. I hadn’t asked Malik about an update for fear of hearing more bad news. For now, my sister was fine, my mom and friends too. The only people I had to worry about were those who showed up for the party. A party I helped to plan. I couldn’t let them just die because Waylen was being a hard nut to crack. I paused what I was working on the monitor to pull out my phone and text Joe. Waylen was still at the office. I had a few minutes until lunch break to get there. I had no plans beyond the tickets in my purse. Trying again for the umpteenth time, I called Waylen, but it went straight to voicemail. What did he want from me? Fine, I knew what he wanted, but I couldn’t give Malik up. I rounded off the tasks and shut the laptop. Malik w
She Belongs To The Alphas 41: Stop fighting fate (I)
WAYLENI didn’t believe Beth’s bullshit about wanting to spend time with me. While the sentiment was nice, even made me feel fuzzy, I didn’t buy it. But I couldn’t say no to some time alone with my mate after all the shitfest that had happened since the year began. My hand dropped to Beth’s back, guiding her to the passenger side of the car so I could open the door for her. She looked up at me and smiled. What? It was just a door. When she got inside, I volunteered to lock her seatbelt into place, and she held my face in her hands. Her gaze ping-ponged between my eyes and lips. She wanted a kiss, but I wouldn’t indulge her. I was hers for the taking only if she made the move. “Thanks,” she said. A curt nod was all Beth received from me. I entered and started the car when she gave directions to the cinema. She brought out two tickets and splayed them on her legs. “How’s work?” she asked. “Fine.” “Gotte

WAYLEN Beth crossed her arms on her chest. “Not even close. You deserve worse than that.” Tension hung heavy in the air. Her chest fell and rose, and her loathful glare stayed on me. The January air whipped her hair out of its confine, sticking it to her glossy lips, and she angrily yanked it into a bun. “Look, you said you don’t want to fight,” I began. I had put some distance between us to give her space. “We can either put all of these behind us and go watch our movie, or I take you back to your new office, Beth. Everything I’ve done is to protect you.” “Except to actually protect me.” “You have no idea, Beth.” She rolled her eyes and pushed away from the car. “At least you’re right about one thing. I don’t want to fight you. We’ll see the movie and forget this conversation.” “If you can’t handle a conversation, then don’t ask me to talk,” I told her. The anger roaring inside me was from weeks of guilt, pen
She Belongs To The Alphas 43: We are fucked
Malik stepped out of the car as I started toward him. I shook my head to stop him from crossing the distance, and he went to the passenger side to unlock the door. As badly as I wanted to kiss him on the cheek, I chose not to because Waylen was still inside his car. I didn’t know how to get to him anymore. We were constantly butting heads. “What happened? How was the date?” “Horrible,” I confessed. “Drive. I’ll tell you.” It was going so well at first. When we left the office, I was convinced nothing could go wrong from there since we had left the place holding some of our favorite and most painful memories. I should have known better. He had cameras in my room. My bedroom. For weeks. When I told him I didn’t want to fight, I meant it. When he showed up inside the cinema, I thought again that we could still end the day on good terms. Malik started the car, and my heart raced. I pressed my forehead to the window, my eyes watering as

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
She Belongs To The Alphas 48: Fuck. You.
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
She Belongs To The Alphas 47: My property
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
