ALEXI fucking knotted in him. I didn't know it would happen. He was almost fainting from exertion, and I was in my fourth orgasm when it happened. My fucking dick started getting fucking big, glueing our bodies together.“Stop!” He tried to push me off him, only to fall back in pain. His face turned blood-red as it contorted to show his agony. “Stop getting fucking big! Do you want to tear my insides?!” “I… I don't know what's happening!” I confessed, leaning close to him. I couldn't tell how to stop this. I'd never knotted in someone before, though I'd heard about it. An alpha male, only knots in the one he would spend the rest of his life with, and I'd never found that person. Not only that, but the urge to knot only came during our rutting seasons, and I wasn't in any fucking rut. Which would mean…I peered down at Aithan who was still thrashing in pain under me, looking like he was a few seconds from sending me on a path to meet my ancestors. Was he my mate? Oddly enough, the
AITHAN I figured he would be the first to leave. As he had gotten what he wanted, I didn't think he would stick around some more, but he proved me wrong. It made me realize he wasn't yet satisfied. However, when he asked me not to leave, I saw the emotions he was trying so hard to hide. He didn't avert his gaze as he stared into my eyes. I had to reach over and cup his face in my hands. “What do you want with me, Alex? Is it just my body?” He frowned at the question but didn't say a word. The more time he wasted, the more I became convinced of what his reply would be. He had never made it a secret. “No.” His response shocked me. I didn't expect to get such a response from him, at least not with a straight face. “I would be a liar if I said I only wanted you for your body, Aithan. I had long known there was something different about you, something that drew me to you, but I had been fighting it all along.” He leaned down and placed a kiss on my cheeks. “I don't recognize what tha
I'd forgotten about her. Had Pink not mentioned Michelle, I wouldn't have recalled there was someone I know whose name was Michelle. My mind was occupied with thoughts of Alex.“Yes. She arrived a few minutes ago, and your father had been trying to get a hold of you but couldn't contact you,” Pink explained, falling into steps with me. “Where have you been, though?”“I was out with a drinking buddy,” I responded offhandedly. I didn't need to think about it before I let the response out. I couldn't call Alex a friend. We weren't friends. We were merely enemies with benefits. Now that I had that out, it sounded quite odd, but that was what we were. “A drinking buddy?” Pink sounded sceptical. I didn't blame him, though. This was the first time I mentioned a drinking buddy. “I met him last night while out on a race. He's quite good.” More than good. If there was one thing Alex was good with, it was kissing and fucking. He knew exactly how to press my buttons and get me to moan like a s
ALEXI had my bath just like Aithan asked me to. I didn't want to wash out his scent, but I knew I had to do that. Marcus would smell his scent on me from a mile away, and this time, he would know I was intimate with him. Any Alpha could tell. Dressed, I left the hotel and returned to the house. Marcus wasn't at home, so I didn't get any confrontation. It was for the best though. I didn't return to my room. Instead, I went straight to the training room to exercise. The men practising all stopped what they were doing to bow to me.“It's alright. You can continue.” I urged them to rise as I gestured for Max to follow me to my office. “So, how was it?” Max asked the second he stepped into my office. I hadn't even sat down before he spoke. “Was she your mate? Did you sleep with her?” He sounded excited. “I believe so.” Frowning, I plopped down on the chair and folded my arms. “I knotted in him when we had sex.”“I said it. She's your mate!”If he heard the use of the 'he' pronoun, he
AITHANI blinked at him. Never in my wildest imagination would I believe I would one day have such a conversation with Pink. “You are gay?” I asked once more, to convince myself I heard him correctly, and that my ears weren't playing tricks on me. He nodded, his cheeks red. “It's not that obvious, is it?” “It's not. I wouldn't have even suspected a thing.” I gave him an appraisal. Aside from his unusual love for the pink colour, there was nothing odd about him. He spoke about girls like the rest of us and even talked about getting married to one and having a family. Was that all a hoax? To get us from knowing he was different from us? It wasn't far-fetched. He must have realized not everyone would be accommodating of his sexuality. “I know.” He smiled. “I only dated once though, and just decided to stop it after what happened to you.” He looked up sharply. “I'm sorry. I didn't mean it like that. I was guilty. You see. I believed you would hate me should you know I was gay because o
“So, where are you taking me?” Michelle asked with a smile, wriggling her brows at me. “Well… Let's see.” I racked my brain for a place to take her to. I'd never been out of the house unless it was for something necessary. And then, it was to go to either my bar, to check out things for Viktor or a stakeout. I always took the women I dated in the past to the bar. There was no reason to think of where to take them when they liked me just for me. Okay, I once took one out to dinner. News flash? It was my restaurant. So, that was it. I had never been a romantic man. I sucked at it. Viktor always dragged my ears about this, but it wasn't my fault. I had little experience in that area, as Viktor wasn't the right role model. I doubt he had dated anyone since he became my father. He dedicated his entire life to me. I believe he influenced me.“Ai?” Michelle called out, bringing my focus back to her.“You choose. I don't even know much about the city. I can take you on a drive around, but
“That was fun!” Michelle sighed as she got up, stretching her back. “Even though I lost to you, I had fun. I didn't know life could be so interesting when you do something fun with someone you are close to. Let's do this again next time.”“Yeah.” Yawning, I got up from the chair and held her bag up. “Are you hungry? Should we go find something to eat?” I was hoping she would take the bait to avoid getting more messages from that damned, lousy werewolf. For the past hour, I had been getting messages from him, texts I didn't bother to open because I knew it would all be from him. You would have thought we were dating from the number of texts he had sent. “Eat? I'm not that hungry. Why don't we play for a few minutes more? We can play poker. I've been dying to try this out. I haven't done it in a long time.” She pouted, giving me her best puppy dog look. This would have worked on me had it not been for my eagerness to get out of there. I didn't want to get bombarded by texts from Alex
“No, it's not. I don't eat seafood,” I lied through my teeth, ignoring Michelle, who looked at me suspiciously. She knew I loved seafood as I always took her to the one near our high school each time we got a free period. “Oh.” He let go, his face in an unreadable mask. “I will have them prepare something else for you. I apologize for my oversight. I shouldn't have assumed you liked something without asking you about it.”“You don't need to bother.” I sat back in the chair. “What are you doing here?” Michelle asked Alex. Somehow, she had forgotten how he almost bit her head off because she called his name and how he ignored her. Alex glanced at her, his mouth still pulled up in a frown as he muttered. “This place is mine. Of course, I have every right to be here.”“What??” Michelle gasped, as she placed her right palm over her heart. “You owe this place??? What the hell???”“What do you want to have? I will have them make it for you. It's on the house. You can order whatever you wa
“Is there any problem?” The last I checked, there wasn't any reason he would ask me to meet him. I had already told him about the shooting, hadn't I? It wasn't as if I had anything else to talk to him about. Well, unless it was about Aithan. “You will know when you meet him. He asked me to bring you over." “Oh. I see.”I nodded, feeling a sense of uncertainty. What did Viktor want to talk to me about? Could he be suspecting me of harming Aithan? That wasn't possible, right? I wouldn't have brought him back to the house if I was the one who shot him. But you could never tell the heart of another, especially an angry father.“Lead the way then.” I forced a smile at the man, gesturing for him to start walking.“Don't worry, he won't do anything to you with Aithan in the house. That's not his way," the man whispered, his words trying to reassure me I had nothing to fear before he turned and started for the stairs. Choosing to believe those words, I followed him up the stairs and throug
ALEXMy soul left my body when I saw him fall. I had been so happy to see him, impatient to show him all I had planned for the date that I didn't even fucking check out the surroundings. I didn't think anyone would make an attempt on his life since no one knew our location. Wrong. I was mistaken about that. Whoever did this must have followed me, carefully staying in the shadows without detection, something that wouldn't have been possible if I wasn't that eager to meet Ly. I would have known someone was tailing me had I not been too focused on the date. It was my bad for not paying attention. I carried Ly up from the ground after making certain we were alone. Whoever shot him must have been confident in their skills. Why else would they disappear after two shots without checking to know if he was dead? I carried him towards my car and gently placed him in the back seat. Just when I was about to rise so I could go over to the driver's side, he called out to me. “Take me home,” he
As I entered the study, Viktor looked up from the papers he was reading, his eyes narrowing slightly as he took in my appearance. He knew even before I opened my mouth that I was leaving the house. No one dresses up just to lurk around the house. “Aithan, you look… refreshed,” he said in his best neutral voice. “Had enough rest?”I nodded, smiling at him. He didn't sound suspicious, which was a welcome to the tone he used on me when I returned a few hours ago. “Yes, I slept well. Sorry, I forgot about our meeting. I overslept and only recalled it now.”At least I didn't lie about it. Had I not gone over to tell him I was stepping out, I wouldn't have remembered at all. Viktor's expression turned sceptical, but he didn't press the issue. He let out a soft sigh as he leaned on his chair and gave me an appraisal once more before picking up some files.“Very well. Let's get down to business. I've been receiving reports of some… unusual activities in the area. I want you to look into it
AITHAN I slept soundly until a call woke me up. Yawning, I reached for the phone I placed on the bedside table. I didn't check the caller's ID before I picked up the call, letting out a drowsy, “Hello.”The chuckle from the other end caused me to sit up on the bed. I rubbed my eyes furiously and stared down at the phone, instantly turning red when I saw his name.“Lex?” I whispered, afraid someone might be by my door, listening to the conversation. He was the only Alex I knew, so Viktor would undoubtedly know he was the one I was speaking with, even without me having to spell it all out. “Did I wake the sleeping beauty?” He teased, still chuckling. “I'm sorry about that, my dear. I just wanted to hear your voice. I didn't know you were sleeping.”“It's alright.” I yawned again. “I've rested enough.” I leaned on my headboard. “I can't believe I slept for 5 hours straight. You are a damned monster, you know?”“Who was it that kept begging me to continue? Don't heap the blame on me and
Alex dropped me a few poles away from the main gate because I asked him to. I knew Viktor would have some men out looking for me. The last thing I wanted was for them to see me getting down from Alex's car, days after I promised to break things off with him and having nothing to do with the alpha.“See you tomorrow,” I whispered before I placed a kiss on his right cheek and got down from his car. “Ly?”I looked into the car at the call, with my eyebrows raised. “What?”“I love you.” My cheeks flushed at his words as I hastily straightened. I didn't respond to him. Instead, I hurriedly walked towards the front gate. He must have known how shy I felt because the booming laughter that followed my actions was enough. 'So… You finally told him those words, didn't you?' Tan, who had been giving me the cold shoulder for days, spoke up. 'Who was it that claimed he didn't like him? I think I know. It's you, Aithan. You even vowed you only needed him to scratch the itch for you. Now it doesn
AITHAN I stared at Alex throughout the drive home. I didn't wish to part with him and wanted to spend all my waking moments with him, but I knew it wasn't possible, not when Viktor was probably worried about me. “If you look at me like that again, I won't be responsible for what I will do,” Alex said, turning his focus on me. Though he had a smirk on his lips, I knew he was joking. He realized how much I needed to return home to let Viktor know I was okay. “Can we live together?” I whispered before I could stop myself. “Huh?” He tilted his head, his eyes wide. He looked like he couldn't understand the language I spoke. “What did you just say?”“Can we like…” I gulped, looking out of the window before I focused on him. “Can we live together? Just for a few weeks?” My cheeks flushed at my words as I tried not to look and sound desperate. I couldn't tell why I felt weak thinking of spending some time away from him and didn't wish to think about it. It will only make me reluctant to p
ALEXTo say I was the happiest man in the entire world would be a damned understatement. Waking up to the feel of his head on my chest was the best feeling in the entire world, one I will never trade for anything in the entire world. I wrapped my arms around him, holding him close as I gazed down at his peaceful face. His eyes were closed, his eyelashes fluttering slightly as he breathed. I couldn't help but smile as I watched him, feeling a sense of contentment wash over me.Everything felt like a dream to me. Having Aithan willing to pursue a relationship with me was something I never thought would happen, at least not this fast. It was surreal.I gently stroked his hair, feeling the softness between my fingers. He stirred slightly, his head shifting on my chest, and I froze, not wanting to wake him. I didn't mean to disturb him. I wanted to watch him sleep, to cherish the moment.But then his eyes flickered open, and he looked up at me, a sleepy smile spreading across his face whe
At first, he was lightly holding my hair as he pounded into me. However, he increased his thrusts as he tightened his hold once more. It was painful, but that was enough to turn me on. I was craving it. I loved the pain more than I liked him being gentle with me. You can say I like this version of him the best.The pain made me ache for more. My stomach tightened so hard as I reached closer to the edge. I could feel the need building within me as he showed me another side of pleasure. I moaned as he continued to ram into me with the same intensity as before. His hold on my hair tightened some more. It was as if he could hear my thoughts and knew how much I craved the pain. The harder he thrust into my hole while holding my hair like an anchor, the more aroused I became. I was a moaning mess, crying for him to go harder, to show me how much he wanted me. I was literally begging him to treat me like a slut.“More!” I cried out when he slapped my left arse cheek with his left hand. M
He flipped our position, and had my legs spread, ready to take him in. His eyes found my mind once again, searching for answers I knew must be on my face. I hid nothing from him. I showed him just how ready I was with my eyes.“Tell me to stop if you get uncomfortable,” he said before positioning himself at the entrance of my core. “Ready?” he asked, looking into my eyes deeply again. The concern in that gaze caused me to fall so much in love with him. Had I not known my feelings for him before, his expression would have made it easier for me to fall harder for the infuriating Alpha. “I've always been ready.” I nodded, and then I felt his blunt head push into me with gentle force. A loud moan escaped my lips, and I closed my eyes, savouring this feeling while slipping down onto him more and more.I started panting as he grabbed my arse even more firmly. My head fell back, and I cried out when he thrust forward, so I started moving too, to match his rhythm. Little moans and groans tu
