Here are two for today. Thank you for waiting and reading! Don't forget to use your gems to vote for Alice and Joshua! Feel free to throw sharp gems at Matilda and Lenard as well! Lol! 💜
ALICE.I just finished brushing my teeth. We just had an early breakfast and were about to head off to the Blood Moon Pack. And since I had no clothes, Joshua gave me another shirt to wear. It was a good thing that I had a semi-formal business coat in my car so I would still look presentable when we met Alpha Aeon and Luna Alexa.But I had told Joshua we needed to make time after the Blood Moon Pack so I could buy some clothes. He didn’t say anything, but he didn’t object either.After dinner last night, Joshua did try to make his way into my room, saying he just wanted to hang out with me, but I said no. Which was a hard thing to say because whenever he smiles and licks those soft lips, my pussy throbs hard.But I couldn’t let him take control of us. There was no denying that after what he did at dinner, he left a good impression, but it was something a mate should do for his mate and nothing extraordinary. I liked Joshua, and although I was not sure this bond would last, I was wil
ALICE. “Do you think this would work? Even if everything and everyone is against us?” He asked without looking at me. I focused my eyes on the road before I answered, but I just let him hold my hand, letting the sparks dance between our skins. “Even us are against us.” “I’m not…” He said. “You walked away from me on the Claiming Ball. I smelled you, and then it was gone. I think that was my lowest point.” I kept blinking back my tears, but they kept pooling in my eyes. “I know I’m not liked by many, but it hurts because even with the bond, my mate doesn’t like me.” “Don’t say that. There’s nothing wrong with you. It was all on me. I was confused. My parents would never approve. I wanted to be an Alpha, Alice. When all your life you’re being threatened that you would not have it if I didn’t show the quality of an Alpha they wanted, you would understand.” He took my hand and brought it to his mouth, just letting it stay there. “But when that fucking Alpha held your life in his hand,
ALICE. I was nervous the moment we faced Alpha Aeon and Luna Alexa. I wasn’t sure if they knew about me and Amara, and how I almost attacked her when she was pregnant. I wasn’t even sure if Joshua knew about it. I didn’t want him to know. So I was terrified Amara’s parents would let it slip and might jeopardize whatever Joshua and I had. For some reason, I didn’t want him to remember how I was before all of this. So I kept holding my breath. I couldn’t even look the couple in the eyes when they asked how I was. But so far, they have been civil and pleasant. A part of me didn’t want to believe it was possible after all the stunts I pulled out at the Black Shadow Pack. In the end, Luna Alexa asked me if I wanted to come with her to the nearby flea market that they had that weekend. I didn’t want to. I had a feeling she would corner me and confront me about Amara. But as much as I didn’t want to, Joshua convinced me to go with her, as he and Alpha Aeon would be discussing thi
ALICE. The rest of the day I spent with Luna Alexa was lighter and calmer. She told me to move past the thoughts that she was upset with me and just enjoy the day, which I did. I bought some fresh fruits that Joshua and I could eat while driving, as well as some clothes that I could wear for the next couple of days. I was hoping Joshua and I could go together and shop for clothes I could use for the rest of the week, as I really wanted to spend time with him. He probably hated shopping, and I hated him, so it was just fair we spent time together doing this thing. I chuckled at my own thoughts because they didn’t make sense. Well, I hated his cockiness, but I liked having him around. He was eye candy, and I was addicted to his kisses. Or maybe, even if I kept denying it, I was starting to like him a little too much. “So, for the last time. A separate room, or can we occupy the same room but with separate beds?” Joshua asked for the nth time. I rolled my eyes and crossed my arms
JOSHUA. I was already upset that no matter how hard I tried, Alice was not giving in. She still wanted a separate room. Yes, I was fucking upset because I wanted to fuck her. It was getting harder to control myself, especially since she was around me. But if I was strong-headed, she was fucking strong-willed. Or maybe not. The moment I reached the reception area, I already regretted choosing this hotel. How the fuck would I know the receptionist here was one of the females I picked up and fucked with a long time ago? I couldn’t even remember her name, but I was sure my face was buried in those big tits showing off on her low-neckline blouse. I wanted to turn around and just leave, but it was too late. I could only wish she didn’t remember me. But fucking tough luck — I was an Alpha heir, and I made sure every female I fucked knew that. I wanted to rush the transaction, cutting the female from saying more, but my little mate seemed to feel my discomfort and rubbed it on
ALICE. I took back everything I said about refusing Joshua and making him work hard for this bond. One smile from that female on the receptionist’s desk, and I came like a hurricane, marking my territory. I guess when all your life you fought to be noticed, you would always have the insecurity within you that you would not be good enough. And Joshua? He was my mate. Even if it was only the mate bond that was making him addicted to my kisses, I still wanted to believe he wanted me. I was terrified the female with blonde hair and big boobs would get his attention, and I would be left with nothing - again. So, I fought the best way I knew how. But to be fair, I was actually calm when I staked my claim because, if it were the old me, there would be hair-pulling and name-calling involved. Even when I was furious with Joshua—yes, because he fucked her—I was still protecting my Alpha’s image. I didn’t want to add any more to whatever reputation he had. Even if I was mad at him, h
LADY RIVER. “Alpha…” It was all that I could say as I looked at him because I had no idea what his name was. I never really knew the names of the Alphas. He looked bored, waiting for my response as he tapped his fingers on the window sill of his car. “I’m walking home,” I added. “Are you kidding me?” He scoffed. “You’re from Eclipse, right?” I nodded my head as my clutch on the paper bags tightened. “Get in.” He motioned with his thumb, pointing to the seat beside him. “In your car?” I asked, my eyes widening. His black car looked brand new, as it was too shiny and the leather seat looked expensive. “Get in!” He said it louder this time, and my body jolted before I hurried to the other side of the car and pulled the door open while my heart thudded loudly as if it would jump out of my chest. The moment I closed the door, I felt my neck burn, so I turned my head slowly, and I was right. He was looking at me with a scowl on his face. “Do you know it’s dangerous to walk in a n
ALPHA CYRUS. “Get up! Get up!” I drew the window curtains open, letting the sun’s rays enter and light up Amber’s room before I turned around to face her again. I had already pulled her blanket off, so she ended up hiding her face under her pillows. “Amber! I’m serious. I need you at breakfast today.” “You can’t always ask me to do things for you! I’m not your Luna!” “Of course, you’re not, but you need to practice if you want to be a Luna. Especially if you still want to become Zach’s Luna.” “I hate you!” “Don’t tell me you stay up late again because of him?” “Leave me alone!” “Just fucking tell me, and I will go there and punch his fucking face! This has been going on for too long already.” I was already pissed off, but I was trying to keep my tone calm. “Leave Zachary Vernon alone!” She yelled. “Should I be the one telling you that? Leave him alone!” “Get away here, Cyrus! Just because it’s easy for you to stay away from her doesn’t mean it’s easy for me.” A growl rumb
