I knocked thrice on the door before I stepped in. Marco looked up from the book he was reading, his cold grey eyes fixed on me as he watched me approach. I didn't look like my dad at all. I took after my mother. While my dad had grey eyes, mine was hazel. His hair was black while mine was golden, the same as my mother's. Marco never liked that. He wanted me to take after him, to look like a miniature version of him, but my mum's gene was stronger. “You finally remembered to come home?” He lifted his eyebrows at me, his gaze running over my body. “This wasn't what you wore when you took off last night. Where have you been?” “To the pool house.” Letting out a sigh, I closed the distance between us. “You asked of me. Is there any problem?”He didn't appreciate the way I changed the topic, but instead of voicing it out, he relaxed in the chair, his gaze calculating. “Max said you took off after completing the task. Why? Why did you let him return alone? Do you know how dangerous that
ALEXI took a quick bath before I returned to the room. Letting out a frustrated sigh, I plopped down on the bed and picked my phone up. Before I understood what was going on, I had already dialled Aithan's number. My hand moved on its own, without waiting for my brain to confirm whether it wanted to call him or not. Deciding to just let everything be, I waited for him to answer the call, but he didn't. Disheartened, I called him once more, but this time, it went straight to voice mail without being answered. I tried once more, frustrated at the thought of being ignored. By a man, nonetheless. However, on the fourth try, I clicked on my gallery, and the first image that came up was the one I took off him that fateful day I saw him half naked. This one was of him, with sweat dribbling down his hot body. He was only clad in a short that did nothing to hide his package down there. Each time he bent, I could see that perfect arse, one I wanted to hold on to as I fucked him senseless. A
I had a bath once more after the mind-blowing orgasm I just had. However, when I finally got down from the high, I felt so fucking bad. Not for the first time, I wondered what Aithan had fed me, and why I couldn't get him out of my system. It felt like he glued himself to my thoughts, stubbornly holding on and refusing to let go. I didn't appreciate that feeling at all, didn't like to think of my thoughts revolving around him. I'd dated my fair share of girls, but none of them had made me feel this way. None had stirred my wolf like Aithan did. Most times, I could feel my inner beast at the edge, ready to take over. Drying my body, I put on a set of clothes after tossing the dirty ones into the basket. I picked up my phone and some set of keys before I left my room. I knew staying in there would only make me think more about Aithan, and that right there wasn't good for my health. I needed to get as far away from him as possible, but I realized I would still find a way to get to him.
I whirled around to face my cousin, a man I wouldn't think twice about bashing his head on the wall if not for the promise I made to my father. Luca sauntered towards me with a swagger that made me want to reach out and punch him hard on the jaw. His hazel eyes gleamed as he ran his fingers through his brown hair, posing like a model as he walked. “Care for a combat, cousin?” He asked smirking.“With whom? You?” I lifted my brows at that, scoffing. “I don't fight with ants. Pick on someone your size.” Taking my water bottle from Max, I turned and left, ignoring his calls. I wasn't in the mood to converse with him because I knew it would only end with me punching him. Luca had always gotten on my damned nerves, from the time we were kids until now. Though he was 3 years younger than I was, he always hung out with me back then because my father ordered it. The moment I became an adult, I extricated myself from the annoying gamma. I didn't want a repeat of what happened two years ago
AITHAN I hated how much that bastard was taking over my thoughts. I couldn't tell when it started, but he did, always spiking my anger each time I thought about him. And then that fucking kiss! Why would he try to kiss me?! Was he that sick? Or being deprived of pussies? His father looked like someone who can prevent his son from fucking, just because he felt like it. Thankfully, Viktor was busy preparing for the party tonight when I got back. I changed back into my human form and rushed into my bathroom to wash my body of his fucking scent. My suspicion about him releasing his pheromones was right. For me to perceive that, it could be because he released enough. Had I been an Omega, that would have been sufficient to cripple me. Which was why I fucking hated alphas. Just a release of their pheromones, and they would have any Omega on their knees, willing to suck them just to rid themselves of the desires the alpha's pheromones invoked. That bastard!If I were an Omega, he would h
ALEXSlipping into the party was a piece of cake. As I said earlier, unlike my family, the Kaels seemed lax with their security, something that didn't sit well with me at the thought of someone sneaking in to harm my Aithan. I walked into the party which was going on in full swing as my gaze went around, looking for him. At first, I thought he wasn't at the party until my eyes landed on that familiar tight butt. However, the moment I realized what he was doing, an intense rage took over.My eyes narrowed as I watched Aithan dance with the woman, his body swaying to the music in perfect sync with hers. Her hands were on his waist, his, on her hips, and they moved together like they were one. The way she smiled up at him and the way he laughed down at her, made my stomach twist with jealousy.I didn't like the intense possessive thoughts that took over as I glared at them. Who was this woman? And why was Aithan dancing with her like that? I didn't recognize her from the Kael family or
AITHAN Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. What had gotten into me? Did I just get pissed because he was dancing with a woman? Was I okay? I doubt that. If I were alright, I wouldn't have had those stupid feelings while watching him. Which was why I took Maria out of there, to a place where my mind wouldn't be confused. I led her by the hand to the balcony. Out here, the music from the party was muffled. Though we could hear it, it wasn't loud enough to disturb our conversation. Maria blushed as she looked around. She must have known why I brought her out here, in this private space. I knew no one would come over here, as it was my special area. “You are charming,” I whispered to her as I backed her against the rail. I reached over and touched her hair, watching her gulp. Her breath hitched as she locked her eyes with me. Maria was just my type. Soft, beautiful and an Omega. I'd never had the hots for my fellow betas or even female alphas. Gammas sounded like a sure bet after Omegas. “You think
My mouth went dry at his words. I didn't appreciate the way I reacted, but you couldn't blame me. He was so close, staring into my eyes with a gaze that made it seem like I was the only one in the entire fucking world. Whatever Alex had working for him, was something strong enough to make me act weak.“I don't understand why you took root in my head, making it difficult for me to think of anything else,” he continued, his hazel eyes locked with mine, and his words said so low, it sent shivers down my spine. Gulping, I tried to avert my gaze, but the thought of making myself seem so small with that gesture made me focus on him. I didn't want to back down from the stare, didn't want to make him think he had won the competition. I narrowed my eyes, my mind racing with scepticism. I didn't like how he was making me feel, but more was the feeling I had about being a play to him. Alex was my fucking enemy, a man who had been at odds with me all our lives. Hearing him say those words made
ALEXAfter disposing of the bodies, I called Max. I didn't want to involve anyone from my house, but I realized he was my best bet if I needed to get the identity of those who attacked the party. I already knew they weren't my father's men. There were things he would do, and things he wouldn't dream of doing. This was one of them. Having sent me to exchange the wine, he wouldn't dare hit them when they were at the low. It wasn't like him. “My alpha,” Max greeted the moment he answered the call. “I have done the assignment you sent me on. I just sent the data to your email. Please check it out when you have the time.”“I will. Thanks a lot, man.”“Any time.”“So, I need your help to investigate something for me,” I said, going straight to the reason I called. I didn't think wasting any time would help me at all. “My help?” There was a ruffling from the other end like he was getting up from bed. It was late, so he probably must have gone to sleep. My call undoubtedly woke him. “What
AITHANI had always said this and would repeat it. Alex is bad news. Every time he showed up, something must happen. I should have known tonight wouldn't be an exception. With everything that happened from the moment I heard the first gunshot to the face-off we had with the men, I didn't have enough chance to punch him like I would have normally done. After I raced in, looking for Viktor, he called a hospital. By the time I found Viktor lying unconscious in his room, the paramedics had already arrived. As there were many unconscious people lying around, they brought over 20 ambulances. The house had never been as noisy as it was at the moment. “Go on with them. I will take care of the others,” Alex said, coming over to my side. He must have seen how torn I was about staying behind to make certain all the unconscious ones were taken and going with the ambulance housing Viktor at the moment. Frowning, I shrugged his hand off my shoulder as I took a step back. I didn't like the way h
ALEXANDER I cursed under my breath as the sound of gunfire shattered the tension between Aithan and me. We were so close to kissing, and now…now this. I quickly fished for my gun, my training kicking in as I took off after Aithan.I was so pissed at the moment, I wouldn't hesitate to kill the damned bastards who thought to interrupt us. Just tell me why the hell someone would have such bad timing? Why couldn't they wait until I had kissed Aithan?!! I was so close to touching his soft lips, to feeling him moan under me as he wrapped his hands around my neck. Who knew what would have happened after that? We would have gone down on each other! Fuck them!I hurried after Aithan, getting to him before he could expose himself. “Get down!” I yelled, grabbing his arm and dragging him behind a nearby pillar. “Don't be rash!”“Fuck off!” He shook me off, his eyes blazing with anger. “I can handle myself,” he growled, drawing out his gun. The way he glared at me made me believe he likely bel
