TAMING THE BAD BOY ALPHA 1
HOPE's POV“Loser!” A water balloon smashes right at the back of my head and explodes. The crowd bursts into laughter and I? I have become a walking goo of slimy green and red. “Hey, Omega! Clean up the mess will ya?” “Don’t dirty the school hall with your ugly footprints!” More snickers ensue. Another balloon comes at me. It gets me in my back this time and my white cottony shirt is now a slimy blue. Great. I swallow the lump in my throat and bend down to pick up my textbooks. They had fallen out of my hands at the assault of the first balloon. My biology book gets picked first, then chemistry and finally, poetry. They’re all covered in slime, it’ll take time to clean them all. And just as I reach out for the last item, my sketchbook, a neon pink sneaker appears and stomps on my hand, unleashing a crushing pain on me.“Argh!” I scream when the owner presses down, the soles of the sneaker grinds against my skin and bones. “Oh…if it isn’t little Miss Goodie Two Shoes herself,”
TAMING THE BAD BOY ALPHA 2
HOPE’s POVBlake Parker, the future alpha of Crescent Manes looms at the door. His tall physique blocks the entire door and though his face is cast in shadows, I can tell that he is not pleased. My breath hitches and instinctively, I shout out, “Help me!” Blake ignores me, choosing instead to focus his attention on both Chad and Mike. The hands that bind me quickly leave my side. Frantically, I pull up my pants and search for my blouse. I don’t know what’s wrong with me but my hands are shaking and without my glasses, I can’t seem to find my blouse at all. Ashamed, I cover my chest with my hands, silently thanking the Moon Goddess that my bra is still intact. “What is the meaning of this?” Blake’s voice thunders across the room and both Chad and Mike fall to their knees. “Blake! We were just fooling around, man!” Mike rubs his palms together in succession. Even in the dark, I feel fear emanating from him. “We mean no harm…” Chad squeaks, “We were just playing around with the Ome

HOPE’s POVIt took me an hour, but I am finally pedalling my bicycle towards the residence of the Parker family manor. The ride back was a long one. I was chased by a bulldog and almost fell into the drain, no thanks to my missing glasses. Add that to the sudden heavy downpour.Mom’s going to kill me when she finds out that I need to buy another pair of glasses. It's the third time this year. The first two were crushed and broken, courtesy of Sara Carter. Maybe I should just bill the new pair of glasses to her. Right.What a joke. If I ever dare to even look her in the eye, Sara Carter will hang me upside down from the school gymnasium and use me as a pinata or a punching bag.I shake the thought off and quickly ride towards the garage, grateful that no one is seeing me in such an embarrassing state. Especially mom.Getting off my bike, I lean it gently against the wall, careful not to dirty the pristine clean walls of the garage with my wet and peeling bicycle. Then, picking up my
TAMING THE BAD BOY ALPHA 4
HOPE’s POVI fist my fingers and bring them up to Blake’s closed door. Then, taking a deep breath, I rap at the wooden frame.Knock, knock, knock it goes. Please tell me that he went out or fell asleep. Please don’t let him answer the –“Come in.”Crap.I am tempted to bolt, to run away and hide under the covers of my woolly blue blanket in the maid’s room but I know that if I do that, my life will not only be a living hell in school. It will be a nightmare too, here at the Parker manor.I tuck some stray locks of wet hair behind my ears, suddenly wishing I had worn something more presentable. Right now, I am in an oversized Mickey Mouse t-shirt that hangs over a pair of tiny red boxers. Both were bought from the thrift store a few blocks away from school. Hastily, I pull the sleeve up, the darn shirt's been slipping over my shoulder, revealing a strap of my nude-colored bra. Alos from the thrift store, though I wish I had not bought it, the darn bra is a size too small. Whatever. He
TAMING THE BAD BOY ALPHA 5
HOPE’s POV “I want you…” I think my heart just got stuck in my throat. For a moment, all I can do is stare into Blake’s stormcloud eyes. Funny how I never noticed the swirls of red in them, they are so enchanting, almost like the embers of an all-consuming flame. “To wear contacts.” Huh? I blink. What? “I want you to wear contacts from now on. You look much better without your glasses. I get to see the emerald behind those specs of yours,” Blake practically whispers in my face and my breath hitches. He makes no attempt to move away, choosing instead to hold my gaze. My heart starts to go thump-thump-thump. Oh Moon Goddess, please do not let his super-sensitive ears hear this. “Your heart’s beating extremely fast, Hope.” Damn. “Are you nervous?” he teases, leaning further in to speak into my ear, letting his breath tickle the nape of my neck. Quickly, I avert my eyes, choosing instead to look down at my fingers interlocking one another on my lap. All I can do is sit like a s
TAMING THE BAD BOY ALPHA 6
HOPE’s POVThis morning brings me no respite. I wake up with non-stop sneezing, something shifters do not have to endure. I blame it on yesterday’s downpour, that and my non-existent wolf. Without my wolf, I do not have the accelerated healing abilities that all the other shifters do. I run like a human, I fight like a human and I hurt and bleed like a human.“Goodness!” Mom places a hand on my forehead and tsks at me, shaking her head a little as her eyes shift between the ticking clock on our bedroom wall and my tangled hair.“You’re a little feverish, Hope,” she says, her face contorted into worry. Mom is running late, she needs to make breakfast for eight kids, courtesy of little Belinda’s school picnic today.“I’m fine, mom. Don’t worry about me. I’m not a kid anymore,” I say, gently prying her hand away from my head.“But –““Really,” I shoo her out the door. “I’ll go buy some Tylenol from the pharmacy later.”Mom is not convinced. She frowns even as I get out of bed and push he
TAMING THE BAD BOY ALPHA 7
Hope’s POVIt was never easy to walk down the halls of Wulf High, but today, every step that I take feels as if I am being dragged under quicksand. Perhaps it would be better to be swallowed up by quicksand. At least I wouldn’t have to come to school anymore. But here I am, trudging behind Blake like a prisoner of war with my head downcast. Whistles and high fives roll across the hallway, it is a salutation that everyone who wants to be anyone is giving Blake. And even without looking up, I can tell that every single girl in school has her eyes glued on Blake. In everyone’s eyes, Blake is the epitome of coolness; he is what every guy wants to be and the dream guy every girl wants to have. If only they knew what a bully he is. “Hey, Blake!” someone comes up Mr Cool himself and gives him a high flve. It sounds like Will, Blake’s self proclaimed best buddy. A tiny lift of my head and a sneak peek confirms my suspicion. It really is Will Morris, the smartest student in Wulf High and t
TAMING THE BAD BOY ALPHA 8
Hope’s POVThe Omega Games.It is not even a game. More like a suicide, that’s what it is. Every 5 years, every pack in the land will send their wolfless omegas to fight to the death in an arena and the winning pack pockets billions of dollars in the form of tax free land, business commodities and a great big slice of the oil and gas industry. That is a lot of money at stake. But all this is done in the name of innocent omegas, all this is done in the name of bloodshed.And the funny thing is, the Omega Games is not supposed to happen for another 3 years. I turn my head to look at Blake. Endless questions swirl in my mind but he does not meet my gaze. Instead, he waves Will off as if nothing out of the ordinary has just happened.“Go Will, go and spread the news. No one touches her but me now.”Will frowns and shakes his head. “You know your father won’t hear of this. He’ll want every able Omega to join the game. You marking her is of no exception. The Alpha will still draft her f

Hope’s POVThe night is pitch-black and the rain is unforgiving, drumming down mercilessly, transforming the path into a treacherous mudslide. I forge ahead, senses on high alert, while Larry struggles behind me.“I hate this,” he mumbles and slips again, landing with a squelch on his backside."You okay, Larry?" I turn back and offer him a hand to pull him up but boy is this guy heavy, He may be thin but he weighs like a bull."Just peachy," he grumbles, wiping mud from his face with exaggerated care before accepting my hand.We continue trudging through the downpour, both now silent in our own train of thoughts as we follow that jerk’s trail. That traitor’s trail is unfortunately our lone beacon of hope and like it or not, we have to follow it.Suddenly, I freeze, catching a rustling sound from the nearby trees. It is loud, even with the downpour, I can hear it.I motion for Larry to stop."Someone's watching us," I whisper.Larry's eyes widen in mock horror. "Oh, really? Couldn't b

Hope’s POVI do not know how long I stay kneeling in the rain but I think it is a long time. It is funny how you lose track of time or your senses when your heart breaks, everything else just does not seem to matter anymore.“HOPE!”Someone is calling my name.“HOPE! GET UP!”Someone has grabbed my shoulders and is shaking the bejeezus out of me.“We’re sitting ducks out here! Get into the cave!”That someone groans and grabs my face, forcing me to look up. It is Larry.“Were you crying?” he asks, bewildered. His wet brown hair is plastered over his furrowed brows and rainwater drips from his downturned lip. Above him, the heavens crack and flash.“C’mon, get up, Hope!”Larry pulls me up, or rather, he tries to before falling on the mud himself. I look back in the direction where Blake left and let out a quivering breath. Larry is right, we are vulnerable out here, an open prey to everyone and anyone who wants to kill us.I wipe the tears and snot from my face and nose, then shaking m
TAMING THE BAD BOY ALPHA 26
Hope’s POVI stare at him, I stare at Blake but for some reason, I feel as if I am staring at a stranger.Gone is the warmth in his steel grey eyes and in its place is something foreign and cold. It is as if some alien has taken over Blake’s body.“Blake?” I find myself whispering his name, hesitantly stepping towards him but one word from him and I freeze in my spot.“Stop,” he says. Behind him, lightning flashes across the sky and a low rumble fills the air. The rain starts to fall again.I blink, confused. “Who is this?” I ask. “There are dead bodies in the cave, Larry says she killed them.” I point to the woman.She is hooded with a cloak and all I can see is her thick red lips. I frown. Who the hell has time to put on lipstick in the games? Did she have them tattoed on or something?Or is it blood? A nagging thought forms in the back of my head. I shrug it off.The woman smiles and pulls Blake closer towards her, her breasts practically touching his arm through that skin-tight bo

Hope’s POV“Mom!” I scream.My eyes snap wide open only to be greeted by darkness. Still caught in the web of my nightmare, I spring to my feet and up from the ground.“Mom…” my scream trails to a whisper when I realize that it was a dream. My chest is drenched with sweat and my heart is pounding. The dream…it felt so real.I hug myself and realize that I am trembling, I have to make a conscious effort to stop this silliness. It’s just a dream.Or is it? A voice inside of my head asks. I shoo it away and narrow my eyes to adjust to the darkened vision. Except for a faint glow of light and shadows coming from the winding curve of the cave, everything else is dark.I close my eyes and take slow deep breaths. My ribs feel tight and my muscles tense. I wiggle a toe, it cracks loudly and my toes touch my blouse that lays on the ground. Instantly, memories of what happened earlier sprout up like mushrooms and flood my mind.Blake. His kiss, his touch and most of all, him, all of him inside

Blake’s POV10 minutes before Hope screams in her sleep.I look down at sleeping beauty in my arms. Her eyelids flutter and she mumbles something in her sleep. But it is no fairy tale dream she is having. Her brows furrow and I frown, resting myself on my elbow and leaning nearer to study her face.Beads of sweat have formed on her forehead and her breathing is fast starting to become laboured. I can smell her fear. She is having a nightmare.I am about to call out her name when suddenly, I smell another scent. Fear.But it is not from Hope. It is from Barry. Or Harry, or Larry, whatever his name is. We have intruders.I contemplate waking Hope up but Barry’s fear stifles the air, so much so that it is suffocating. Gently, I slide my arm out from under Hope’s petite frame and spring to my feet. A quick glance tells me that the brows on her forehead are no longer creased. Maybe the nightmare has passed.I sprint back towards the mouth of the cave. Because of my heightened senses, I est

HOPE’s POVOnce when I was younger and dad was still alive, I accidentally stumbled upon his secret stash of porn magazines. There was a particular edition; it was called ‘summer fling’ and right smack in the middle of the magazine, there was a set of pictorials depicting a couple having sex.The girl in the photos looked like she was in seventh heaven or something while the guy pumped into her. She did not look like she was in pain. Nope, not at all.Reality is so much different.Blake slams into me. Searing pain cuts through me as Blake tears through my virginity. I scream, “ARGHHHH!”It hurts, and yet, strangely, I want more of him. I want all of his massiveness in me, filling me. Blake stops for a second and leans down to kiss my forehead. His breathing is harsh and ragged, like mine.“I’m going to move in and out of you, Hope.”I close my eyes as he eases out slowly and I bite down on my lip. I won’t scream. I won’t scream. I won’t –He pounds into me again and another scream tea
TAMING THE BAD BOY ALPHA 22
HOPE’s POV The cave darkens with every step Blake takes. I hang over his back, tilted upside down as he picks up speed, strding deeper and deeper into the cave. And it doesn’t help that the oath is a rocky one and my head bobs up and down as Blake pushes further into the darkness. Blood rushes to my brain and my ears roar with the thunderous beating of my heart. I am feeling woozy and it is not because of the wound on my head. I think I am going to puke. “Blake…” I call out, my voice a mere whisper. Of course, he ignores me. Blake the mighty who never listens to anyone but himself. I fist at his back. “Blake…put me down.” “No,” is his answer. “Then I’ll throw up on your back.” That does it. In an instant, Blake drops me like a hot potato and I fall smack right onto the ground. Very ungracefully I might add. “Owww!” I rub at my bottom. Luckily I am wearing my toughest pair of jeans and not some leotard today. I count it as a blessing. “You okay?” The almighty Blake Parker knee

HOPE’s POVThe fire burns and embers of the flame crackles in the air, adding to the already heightened tension in the cave.I sit on one end of the fire and Blake on the other. Both of us have our arms crossed and we are not looking at each other. I am looking at my muddy sneakers and Blake, I couldn’t care to see what he is fascinating himself with right now. Larry sits crossed-legged between us fidgeting every once in a while and picking at his nose. He sneaks a peek at us from time to time and attempts to rub his palms together near the dancing flames only to quickly pull back when the heat scorches his hand.“Umm…”Larry clears his throat as he inspects his palm, “so, what’s our plan?”At his question, both of us look at him. Our eyes meet, Blake’s and mine. His gaze feels like a caress, it is as if his eyes have the power to undress me, to touch me…NO! Damnit, Hope, get a grip. I cannot let myself be pulled in by his gaze. So in the end, it is I who tears my gaze away. “You mea

Hope’s POVMy bra snaps and the hook falls to the ground, hitting a pebble and goes ‘clink’. My bra, my nude colored bra dangles in Blake’s hand and what does the guy do? He blinks and looks at my bra in his palm. It’s my hands shoot up tp cover my blouse and Blake counties to stare at my bra as if surprised by his own actions. For a split second, it is as if time stands still. “Hope, I—“I head butt him in the head.SMACK! Blake takes a few steps back and comes to a halt. The bra falls from his hand and his mouth drops to an ‘O’ even as a hand goes to nurse his forehead.“What the heck are you doing, Hope?” He frowns, shaking his head. “Are you out of your mind, Blake!?” I scream at the top of my lungs in reply.“What were you thinking?” I blast on. “A group of Omegas just tried to attack us and you want to make out?” My hand goes to the air, I shake my fists, exasperated.He stares at me, his gaze making me hot all over. It is hard to go on with the sudden spike of lust rushi
