MALIK

I noticed her as soon as she walked in, and I noticed her now as she strolled back into the hall. Her lipgloss was smeared. Her hair looked a bit messy, with some strands out of place. There were too many people here to pick out only her smell, but I could easily guess what she had been doing. Something I had been unable to do in such a long time.

She had been fucking. I knew she was familiar, and only now did I realize where I had seen her before. My reaction to her this time was worse than the last time. Crazier.

The men at the table with me laughed at something Hank, my friend, said. He was the one who invited me. If he hadn’t, the council would have found another way in. I was still yet to understand the purpose of this party, but when the council notified me of it, with strict instructions to attend, I took up Hank’s offer. 

Everyone at our table was in a suit. The party started about an hour ago, and we had seen our host only on

Oh man. What will Waylon do? Or how about Malik when he realizes Beth is Walen’s mate too? So good I’m craving more, please.

  • She Belongs To The Alphas    47: He kissed me

    Waylen would kill me. I kissed a man. No, I didn’t. He kissed me. But it didn’t feel wrong, and at one point, I had been the one leading the kiss. I touched my lips. They were tingling. What the hell was that about?His Elizabeth? I belonged to only Waylen. But as I told myself that, my heart reacted differently. Waylen would be pissed. I stepped away from Malik before he could make me do something sillier. He reminded me of Waylen in more ways than one. They both had that dominating aura, the switching eye color, and a fascination for werewolves.Were they in a cult?“Now, we are even,” I said. His head cocked to the side as he sized me up. I had to clear my throat twice to make a coherent speech. “But you shouldn’t have done that. My boy—”No, Waylen wasn’t my boyfriend. I couldn’t say boss, it nullified the intensity of our relationship. What were we? He called me baby the other day, and he ha

    Something was moving under me. I pressed my hands into the hard surface and groaned. I could hear voices, eerily familiar voices. I almost panicked until I realized that was a good sign. Waylen was here with me. He saved me. Unless… unless he was the one who took me in the first place.I peeled my eyes open. Red lights hit my side of the window as we waited for the light to turn green. Waylen hadn’t noticed I was awake. He was on the phone, growling to the other person on the line about a man and some hunters. The name, Kane, didn’t ring any bells, but Waylen’s tense side profile was an assurance that he didn’t like the man.“Is he still at the party?” he said into the phone. The person’s reply must have pissed him off. He snatched the phone from his ear and tossed it on the console. “Fucking council.”Horns blared as the light turned green. There was a rush as cars in line tried to get ahead of each o

    “It’s not important,” I replied. I stepped back to create more space between us. Waylen tried to follow but stopped when he spotted the card at his feet. I moved, but he was faster. “Waylen. Ezra.” He held Malik’s card above his head. “I took it because I wanted you to meet him and talk like you planned to do before Joe ruined it. You sounded so distraught back then. Baby, that meeting was important to you, so I wanted to help.”“You didn’t take it because you wanted to work as his assistant?” he sneered. The heaviness in my chest rose to my throat. This conversation was pointless. I might as well have been a prisoner awaiting execution because he had made up his mind. To him, I was a needy, little whore. He tore the card in half, and I swallowed my gasp. “I guess you wouldn’t mind me ripping it?”“I…” He arched a brow in response, tearing the halves into a cleaner ha

  • She Belongs To The Alphas    50: What was that?

    WAYLENI was fuming. My stupid mind thought now was the right time to replay that image of Beth kissing Malik over and over again. It didn’t matter who kissed who first because they both seemed to be enjoying the moment. What the fuck was wrong with her?The pieces were yet to fit. Did she invite him to the party? Did she know who he was? Did the council send him? Len chuckled like the thought of them sending Malik to the party was funny. The tracking device on her phone showed she was home. I switched on my laptop to check the live feed of her room. She just arrived.I watched, my teeth grounding in frustration as she dumped her clutch on the bed and stripped. I would have told her about us tonight. Why did she have to ruin it? If she had been a little more patient, she would have had the orgasm I denied her earlier.Was that why she did it? How the fuck was she already discussing a job with someone she had only just met t

  • She Belongs To The Alphas    51: Take that

    A week passed without Waylen calling. I didn’t know what I expected, maybe a phone call or text. An apology. Something, anything. I swiped at the tears that escaped my eyes. Why was I so surprised? He was of the same specie as Ian. All they did was lie and break hearts. After everything that had happened with us, how dare he treat me that way? Calling me names to make a point?I shoved my foot into the holes of my jeans. I was going to Mom’s first, then moving to Fumi’s. Her husband wasn’t home, as usual. I didn’t want to stay in this house and mope about Waylen anymore. How could he talk about caring for me yet so quickly discard me?Everything reminded me of him. The bed, the living room, the couch. He had been everywhere in this house, even the kitchen. I gave him so much power over me, and when he had enough, he showed his real, nasty colors. God, I was newly pissed at myself.The signs were always there. He was a ps

    MALIKStalking was bad. Stalking Elizabeth was a horrible idea, but I was out of options. Something happened between Waylen and her. I didn’t know what; I probably would never know, but I couldn’t stop thinking about my mate, her safety, and our future.Guaranteed, I felt a little better knowing she cooped up at her best friend’s place, not her house like she had done for the whole of last week, but I couldn’t stop myself from driving to this old stadium every morning, sunglasses over my eyes, baseball cap over my scalp to disguise myself as I watched her and her best friend jog around the field.They did this two days ago, yesterday, and today. Fumi was on black tights and a tank top. Elizabeth too. The driver would arrive to pick them up in twenty minutes, and I would follow behind to be sure they got home in one piece. I didn’t trust Kane’s silence.Why did Elizabeth stop going to work? She spent th

    MALIKElizabeth finally texted back. But when I thumbed the screen open, disappointment flooded me. Another day, another negative answer. It was a sign for me to stop bugging her, but I couldn’t, even if I tried. The mate pull was more potent than me, and like any other wolf, I was a servant to the force.So far, her replies had gotten less cautious. The last few days had seen her opening up. She could be flirty but always retreated when I tried to steer us into deeper waters. I didn’t know how to handle this. I had never courted a woman, never had to learn because I didn’t think I would require the skill. I reread her reply to my offer of a date.Elizabeth: Can’t make it. Got no clothes to wear.We both knew that was a lie. First, I asked for her home address to surprise her, but she refused. I had the option of sending flowers to Fumi’s place, but that would be creepy. My constant stalking was already wearing Ansgar’s n

  • She Belongs To The Alphas    54: Mister Landlord

    Malik was a gentleman. The epitome of perfection. When I told him I had nothing to wear, a big fucking lie, by the way, I didn’t expect him to offer to take me shopping for a dress. Lana said I could pick whatever I wanted, so I grabbed a pair of shoes and jewelry to match the dress. I didn’t know if those two were an item, but I wouldn’t overthink it. I refused to act on my jealousy like I refused to climb on his lap in the car and beg him to let me ride him like a horse.He made me feel things. Things only Waylen had come close to making me feel. Things I thought only Waylen was supposed to make me feel.What did that make me? In Waylen’s words, that made me a whore. I kicked memories of him out of my mind. My ‘supposed’ betrayal was not a reason for him to slut shame me. I would assume that was a thing with males given what happened at the stadium last week, but Malik was proving my theory about men wrong. He was a gentleman.

  • 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

  • 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
