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

“It's okay. I will eat this.” Michelle frowned as she looked down at her plate. It looked like she had realized Alex didn't like her. It was such a pity, as it seemed like she liked him.“Are you enjoying your time here?” Alex grinned at me, acting like he couldn't tell he had broken a woman's heart.“What are you doing?” I glared at him, gritting those words out. “Don't you have anything else to do? Something to occupy your time with?” I didn't feel comfortable having him here with me, but he seemed as if he enjoyed it.“Come on. Why are you acting like we are strangers? We have basically seen each other's —”“What about the food? Why haven't they served it yet?” I cut his words short before he could complete them. Knowing how shameless he was, it wasn't difficult to know what he might likely speak about last night.“It's on the way.” He smirked as leaned on the table with his right hand under his jaw, looking at me with a suspicious expression on his face.

Surrender Freely: Lyker's Redemption A minor argument
Blood. Blood. More blood. The trail seemed to follow us throughout the week. The attack on the warehouse started a chain reaction. It was the beginning of the bloodshed. I believed the men had been suppressed, but it wasn't as I thought. The successful attack led them to believe they could suppress us with their numbers. For the past week, we had been getting attacks, fending off the small Mafia families who had grouped to bring us down. There was no time for anything else, not even a moment of relaxation. It was the same for Sophia. She was responsible for the food, and helping the medical teams. Yesterday, for the first time, I fought in my wolf form. The attack was so fierce we had to change, to help us get through the men faster. The only downside was the injuries we got, the same reason Alex had been pacing the floor nonstop since he arrived a few minutes ago.“You shouldn't have done that!” He growled, pacing the floor. He wasn't with us yesterday when we engaged in those men

“Aithan!”I blinked when I felt someone shake me. Alex stood over me, a concerned expression on his face as he stared into my eyes. “What's going on? You grew pale instantly and…”“I'm okay.” I blinked rapidly, calming my racing heart. I turned to look at the place the man once stood, only to notice it was empty. The man's gone.“No, you are not.” He squatted in front of me and placed his hands on my thighs. “What's going on with you? Why did you look like someone who saw a ghost a few minutes ago?”I did see a ghost, I wanted to say, but couldn't. I couldn't tell him I saw the man who raped me with the others years ago, the same man I believed I killed. He wasn't supposed to be alive, but he seemed to be. It wasn't a project of my imagination. I saw him, standing there, with that same expression he gave me those years ago. He must have risen from the grave to shatter the perfect life I tried to build.“Aithan?”“I…” I gulped, closed my eyes and inhaled deeply. “It's… I thought I saw

AITHANI wanted us to stay at home to wait for Max's call, but Alex was hellbent on taking me out as he had planned before we got Max's update. This was our first date in forever, and he wanted to make it better than the last one we had. It wasn't the best of dates. I got shot the minute I stepped away from my car. To think we hadn't gone on one since that incident. “Order anything you want. Feel free okay?” Alex said as he passed the menu and the ticking pen over to me.Taking them from him, I rolled my eyes at that, pursing my lips. “You make it sound like I can't afford my meal, Alex. You might be the head of your family now, but I believe I have more money than you do. I'm Viktor's favourite son, after all.”I just hope I'm still his favourite. He hadn't called me since the last time we spoke, and I knew it would take more to get him to extend the olive branch first. I didn't want to be the first, as that would mean I got to swallow my pride and promise things I wouldn't even kee

“Don't change your mind.” “Hello, boss?” Max's voice caused me to tear my gaze away from my naughty sister. “Sophia said you called? Is everything okay?”“There was a raid in the warehouse. Though I sent some men to take care of it, I thought you would wish to know about it.”I gripped my phone hard, feeling a slow rage creeping in. “When was it? Do you know who did it?” “We are still investigating. I will let you know when we get something from it.”Aithan walked over to me and placed his hand on my shoulder. “Okay. Kindly notify me once you do. Be safe,” I added before I disconnected and turned to my mate. “Our warehouse was raided.”“What?” Aithan drew a step back. “When? How? By whom? Did they get them? Tell me they did.”I shook my head and let out a sigh. “They didn't.”It would have been great if they did. “What do we do now? Should we head over there? Were any of our men wounded? Do they need our help?”“I doubt.” I passed the phone back to the owner so I could hug him. “

ALEXLuca didn't show up after our dispute. His absence didn't lessen my anxiety, it only made me apprehensive. I couldn't tell what he was planning, or how he would meet Aithan. I had yet to tell him of my confrontation with Luca. I doubt I would, though. I couldn't let him see that side of me, know what a psycho the man he loves is. Protecting him from the truth was the least I could do. If I have my way, he will never get to know the truth. Keeping him in the dark would only put a little strain on me, as the knowledge that I had all along been lying to him would forever plague me, but it would make things easier. He wouldn't have to force himself to be with me just because he liked me. “Alex?”I blinked when I felt him wave his palm in my face. Blinking once more, I looked at him, furrowing my brows. “What's wrong?”“I've been calling you for the last freaking minute without getting any response, and you are asking me what's wrong? Are you for real?” He narrowed his eyes at me.
Surrender Freely: Lyker's Redemption Do you trust me?
AITHAN Alex seemed off. For a week, he had been acting so absentmindedly, that it was disturbing. I tried to know what was wrong with him, but he waved it off as being worried about his men and how to go about his father's official funeral. I knew it wasn't true, though. We might not have known each other for a long time, but I could tell when he's been bothered by something. At that moment, he looked as if he had enough to worry, and more to think about. “Your coffee.” I passed a steaming mug of coffee to him and sat opposite him. He nodded his thanks before he took a face, smiled and said, “You have finally gotten the taste right, Ly. It's perfect, just the way I prefer it.”“I know, right?” I grinned. Finally, my good work paid off. For days, I had been perfecting that particular taste he liked in his coffee. He didn't ask me to do that, I just wanted to do something for him. Staying at home had gotten so damned boring, and I needed something to keep my mind off certain things,

I snorted. Everything that came out of the bastard's mouth felt incredulous. He didn't seem like he was joking, though. He looked serious and wanted me to know what he thought about my union with Ly.While a few of the men who were against the relationship and how things turned out after Marcus's death kept their mouths shut, he didn't. “That's rich coming from you, Lucas. You've always been jealous of my success, and now you're trying to spin this as if I'm somehow less capable because of Aithan? Is that what this is about? All that preaching about admiration is just beating about the bush for you?” I walked back to my desk and sat on it, with my feet crossed and my arms folded. I watched him, watching every move of his body, and how nervous he was even though he was acting like he wasn't. “I'm not jealous of you, Alex. I'm just worried. You're changing, and not for the better.” Lucas's face darkened, and he clenched his fists once more. “I want you to realize where you are mista

“Lucas,” I warned, my voice getting dangerously low. He might think we were playing over this, not knowing I wasn't fucking happy hearing him talk about my mate like that. He let out a sigh, looking down at his feet before he returned his gaze to my face. He rubbed the back of his head, gulping, preparing himself for what he was about to say. “You changed drastically, you know? Ever since he walked into your life, you transformed into someone who was barely recognizable. This isn't the Alex I know.”“Why? It's not as if you liked the Alex I was before.” I arched a brow at him. “We haven't been close since we were little. Don't make it sound like I changed since I got a lover.”Lucas and I might have been cousins, but we weren't that familiar with each other. He never hid his disgust and jealousy over me, and always made certain I knew how he felt. Talking now, like we had been friends for ages and only had issues because I got a mate, infuriated me. I didn't like the way he made it
Surrender Freely: Lyker's Redemption Who do you suspect?
ALEX“What the fucking hell is wrong with you?!” Lucas seethed, pacing the floor. “What did you think you would gain from this? The men are revolting! How did you let things escalate this far?!" “Because you leaked the news.” While he was acting like a mad dog let out of the cage, I was the more rational one. I wasn't in the mood to scream at anyone. I had done my fair share of yelling with the men a few minutes ago.He whirled around at that, his eyes narrowed. “What the fucking hell are you talking about? Who leaked what news?”“You know what you did.” I crossed my legs, looking nonchalant. “I don't need to tell you that.”“What are you talking about? Are you by chance speaking about the small Mafia families?” He drew a step towards me, the frown on his face getting more pronounced the nearer he got. “What else?” “Did you believe I would stoop so low as to do something like that? What do you take me for?”“A man who didn't think twice about sucking up to my father won't care for
