I knew I should have backed off when he suggested seeking the one behind everything, but I didn't. Instead, I decided to trust his words. “You made the right choice, baby!” Winking, he went into the inner room to tidy up his looks. A few minutes later, he walked out, looking as cool as ever.Looking at him, you wouldn't know I broke his nose, which seemed to have healed, just as the wound on the side of his lips. Seeing him so dressed and fresh infuriated me. I hated the way he effortlessly pulled out his looks. It wasn't fair the goddess had to gift him with such looks! If only he wasn't such a bastard. He would have made a good chick magnet at parties more than Pink does. “Take a picture, darling. It will last longer.” Winking, he walked towards the door, chuckling as he did. Knowing I was checking him out seemed to amuse him. Grumbling under my breath, I kicked hard at the table, only to wince from the pain. His head snapped back almost immediately when he heard me hiss. “Are
ALEXANDER As I watched him leave, the smile on my lips got more pronounced. I knew should be mad, but I wasn't. Instead, I couldn't help but think he looked very cute. I'd never thought another man would be so cute, but Aithan ate and left no crumbs. Though he looked stern most times, I couldn't help but notice a softness he tried to hide from others. I started my car and drove after him. We were far from the main road, and I knew it would take him time to get back home unless he shifted into his wolf, that is. “Get in the car.” I honked behind him when I got to where he was. “I will take you back home,” I added, to get his attention, but he ignored me. He acted like he couldn't hear me when I knew perfectly that he could. “Aithan," I called.“What the fucking hell do you want from me?!” He whirled around to face me, narrowing his beautiful eyes. Goddess, what the hell is even wrong with me? In a situation like this, I couldn't still help but think he was pretty. Have I lost it? D
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
“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
