Thalia“No way.” I croaked and swallowed to clear the lump that formed in my throat. I suddenly felt so anxious and jealous. Could it be that the reason he didn’t show up in my room last night was because he had someone else waiting for him downstairs? Elena? I didn’t want to believe it but she was the only one I saw last night and I never saw her leaving the house.I listened in and realized that I couldn’t hear any other voice aside from his grunts and groans. If there was a woman in there, then, I should easily hear her whimpers and cries of pleasure, right? Unless she was a silent taker. I couldn’t imagine being so quiet while getting dicked by the almighty Cross. I was speaking from experience.With that in mind, I summoned courage, ready for whatever, and walked close to the door. The closer I got, the louder his groans became and for a moment, I thought of saving myself and just running back upstairs. But my legs were braver than I felt and they took me to the door. It was op
Thalia“I slept good, thank you. The bed is pretty soft and spacious.” I licked my lip because it suddenly felt so dry.“Don’t do that if you don’t want me to do what I said earlier.” He warned me and tossed on his shirt. Aha, I didn’t dream it. He really said it. I frowned, mourning the loss of his scandalous body. I wanted to look some more.“What can I do around you? It seems that everything I do turns you on.” I don’t know why I even said that to him.“You have lost your mind,” Exactly, I really have lost my mind. My mind has lost its mind too.“Lia, don’t tempt me. I am holding on as much as I can.” He sure was giving a lot of warning this morning. I tried to remind myself of all the things I promised myself last night. I will not sleep with him. Okay, I didn’t make myself promise not to flirt or drool when I see him. Maybe I should add that to the rule.No flirting or drooling. No nothing. Sounds so boring but I have to do it for my sanity. I cleared my throat and managed a
Thalia“That’s her house over there but you guys are taking that car so I will drive you there.” He said and pointed at the car in question. It was already parked in front of his house. I didn’t say anything as I followed him to the car. He unlocked the car and held the door open for me. I felt like a princess walking into the car. Aside from Emily’s boyfriend, no one has held a car door open for me before until Cross did it last night.The last time I dated was in high school and the fucker wasn’t a gentleman that’s why it didn’t hurt when we broke up.Cross made sure I was settled in before he walked to the other side and got in.“You said you will quit your part-time job.” Cross said once we both sat in the car. I nodded.“I already did, last night. It wasn’t an official position anyway.” It was pretty easy. I got a response this morning and it was simple and unattached. “Okay, good luck.” That was all the text said. It’s not like I was expecting more.“Good, if you need anythin
Lucas I had a terrible night. I hated it. I couldn’t sleep. I kept thinking of the things that that bastard could be doing to my mate and I couldn’t bring myself to sleep. I hated how I felt but I couldn’t shake off the jealous feeling. It was pointless.“Mate.” My wolf wasn’t helping either. He has refused to take a break since we left Thalia with Cross. As if it wasn’t enough that I couldn’t sleep, my wolf spent the whole night nagging me. Twice I even had to walk around my house trying to tire myself out but it didn’t work. “Mate.” “Shut the fuck up,” I cursed and downed the remaining of my morning coffee. It usually worked to make me feel ready to face the day but today, it refused to have the desired effect. All I wanted to do was call Thalia and find out how she was feeling.“Like she would want to speak to you after how you acted yesterday.” I hated how my wolf was not on my side. As if I was the only one jealous yesterday. I had every reason to be jealous. How can I come
Thalia“Lia?”Fuck! I thought when I heard Steve call my name. All day, I have been avoiding him and hoping that he doesn’t try to talk to me and I succeeded until now. I guess I ran out of luck. I should have gone home the second the class ended but I wanted to check something out at the school library.“Are you and Steve close?”Elena has been by my side all day. She sat with me in all of today's classes. I told her she could go ahead without me, but she refused and told me that she promised her Alpha that she would stay by my side. I pointed out that she can’t really help me if someone tries to kidnap me or something.She Literally laughed in my face and told me not to judge her by how delicate and pretty she looked. I'm not going to lie, she said it in a very convincing way.“Yes, he is my boyfriend.”I said and waved at Steve as he walked fast towards us. I could tell that Elena was shocked at my words. I don’t even know why I told her that when Cross already knew the truth about
Thalia “What the f—“ I didn’t get to finish what I had to say, I was pulled by Lucas and slammed into his chest. I gasped and tried to get away from him in an effort to prevent anyone from seeing us together but the man was bigger and stronger than me. It was useless fighting against him. “Let me go,” I voiced in anger. He didn’t answer instead growled loudly which sent a shiver down my body. What did I do? I shouldn’t have provoked him, now people are going to find out and it was all my fault. “She is not going anywhere with you.” He growled. I made to say something but then I realized that he was talking to Steve. I twisted my neck and saw Steve getting off the ground. The angry wolf pushed him until he fell. What a loser. “Let me go, professor! You have no right to tell my boyfriend that!” He growled when I called Steve my boyfriend and tightened his hold on me. It was bad enough that he was being possessive of me in public and even worse that he didn’t give a fuck
Thalia“What the fuck was that all about and why do you know Alpha Lucas enough for him to act that way?”I heard Elena’s question loud and clear but I chose not to respond until what she said clicked. I stopped walking and turned to her.“What did you just call him?”I questioned. She paused and looked around before turning back to me.“Alpha Lucas?”“Oh shit. Don’t tell me that fucker is an alpha too just like Cross!”I let out a little louder than I had intended. I looked around to make sure no one heard me and saw Lucas still watching us. He hasn’t even moved from where everything played out a while ago. He had an arrogant and overall dominant stance that made me look away the moment our eyes met. It all kind of makes sense now. I finally figured out why he is so full of himself and why he acts like he owns the world and everyone.They were both alphas. The one time I decided to be freaky, I fucked two men two nights in a roll and then they ended up being wolves. As if that wasn’t
Thalia “That’s why he asked you to follow me around, isn’t it? It wasn’t because I needed protection but because he wanted to make sure I wasn’t seeing other men! Wow, what a fucking sick bastard and you are a fucking bitch for agreeing to something like that! I wasn’t done. There was so much I wanted to say to her right now. How could she say yes to watching my every move? What kind of a woman does that to another woman? Also, Cross. I told him I wasn’t really dating Steve so why did he still feel the need to still assign Elena to watch my every move? “I don’t know what you are accusing me of right now. I just asked a question. No need for you to be so disrespectful towards my alpha and me. Mind you, he is your alpha too, and your mate.” I already knew where her loyalty stands so I wasn’t surprised when she started to defend him and herself. “You just said that you will report everything that happened today to him. What do you expect me to think?” I fired at her. “I don’t
Lucas “Lia? Are you there? Did you hear what I said? Turn your car around and meet me at the house.” I instructed her and removed my phone from my ear to make sure she was still on the phone but she already hung up. I dialed her number again but she didn’t pick up. I called her for a third before deciding that it would be better to go pick her up before it was too late. “Damn!” I let out and rushed back into the meeting room. Everyone turned in my direction when I walked in again after stepping out to take a call that I wasn’t supposed to take during a very important pack meeting. Fuck my life. I made the rule of no phone calls during pack meetings but I was the one to break the rule and now I am about to break another rule. Leaving the pack meeting before time wasn’t allowed but I couldn’t stay in the meeting while knowing that my mate was about to leave the pack even though I told her not to. There’s only so much the guys at the gate can do. If she persists and insists
Thalia “Because we said so.” I stared open-mouthed at Lucas. Just when I thought he got better, he just had to go spoil things between us. What? Because they said so? Like I will listen just because they said so. Men and audacity. “Can you just listen to us?” Cross added. I glared at him. “So? You expect me to say yes sir and do everything you two want? It doesn’t work that way.” I told them firmly. It was just clubbing with my friend. Nothing too huge. I could have gone without telling them but I chose to be a good girl and look where that got me. “You can’t go around unguarded. We don’t want anything to happen to you.” Lucas said in that voice that made him sound like he was talking to a child. “I have been okay all my life. Why do I have to be watching my back like some fugitive? I am twenty-two. I can’t spend my nights curled up in bed in my twenties. I will do that in my thirties or forties. I am going out and that’s final. I just thought to let you guys know. You c
Thalia “And I thought my life here would be better. What a letdown.” I grumbled. It was only my first night here so I shouldn’t be disappointed but I was. How could he leave me alone in the house on my first night? I spent all day anticipating only to be left disappointed. “Shit!” I complained and got out of bed again. I was bored out of my mind. Alone in the house on my first night. I could do a house tour but I wasn’t the type to go snooping around without approval. In the end, I decided to chat with my friends. “What’s the use of having two lovers when I can’t even get any of them like I want?” I sent the chat to the group and both girls started typing immediately. “Holy, what?” I rolled my eyes at Emily’s question. Both of them didn’t believe me when I told them that I wasn’t getting any. “I am not kidding, not to mention, I am home alone right now. That fucker dropped me off and went away talking about some pack meeting.” I texted. “Oh, pack meetings are very impor
Thalia “Is she okay?” I nodded. “Alright, let’s go?” I nodded and grabbed my stuff from the chair I had kept them earlier. He took the bag from me. “It’s just school stuff that I need for the new week.” I told him when he looked at me with questioning eyes. “Let’s go.” I walked ahead of him and saw his car. I excitedly strolled there but as I got in the car, I couldn’t help but feel a little sad. Cross might have done some crazy shit but he had been a good host so yeah, I miss him already. “You will be back next week. Don’t miss him so much. In fact, forget about him for now. You belong to me.” Lucas told me. He dropped my bag in the back seat and got into the car. “I don’t belong to you or anyone. I only belong to myself.” I let out. He smirked and started the car. I sent a text to Cross that I already left and thanked him for having me. Don’t ask me why I thought of thanking him after how yesterday night turned out to be. “We have arrived already?” I let
Thalia By afternoon, I was all set to leave the house and so fucking exciting for my week with Lucas because I know it will be very spicy. I cleaned up really well. There was no need to pack my bag as Lucas already had stuff I could use over at his house. I only carried my school materials that I would need for the week and my gadgets. I went over to Elena’s house and had lunch with her and her brother’s pregnant wife. Contrary to what I thought, she was actually a sweet woman, just that her hormones were all over the place because of the pregnancy. “You look super excited to leave our pack.” Elena commented as we both made our way back to Cross’s house. I smiled. I couldn’t even deny the fact that I was excited. “I am but don’t worry, I will be back soon.” I assured her. “Can you actually keep doing the back and forth? Won’t you get tired?” I smiled. I have thought of it too but right now, I don’t feel tired yet. Maybe later I will but for now, I am just not going to
Thalia “Lia, I saw your calls. Are you okay? Where are you?” He asked with concern for me, lacing his voice. He sounded out of breath which made me wonder what he has been up to. I called him and waited for him for hours. “I don’t need you anymore Lucas. You didn’t answer when I called.” I let out. He sighed. “I am sorry, I was busy. I didn’t notice my phone was ringing because it was on silent.” He explained. Busy? What was he so busy doing that he was so out of breath? Fucking some random woman? The thought found its way into my head and I couldn’t let it out. “What were you doing,” I asked and swallowed the lump that formed in my throat. What the fuck was my problem? The man doesn’t owe me any loyalty and why did I even have that kind of thought to begin with? “I was far from my phone. I just got back. What did you want me to do? Are you okay?” He asked me. “I am fine. Where were you?” I let out. Was I really trying to find out where he was so that I could deci
Thalia “This place is expensive.” I whispered. “I know.” “And yet you brought me here just because I said I wanted to eat? I am not particularly dressed for dinner tonight.” I let out. I wore a runaway outfit and not a date night party. Why would he pick a place that most people only visit on very important occasions and dates? Maybe it’s a werewolf thing. “It doesn’t matter. No one will see you.” Good for him to say. He was dressed properly. I wondered how he was able to suit up before coming to find me. “Did you look through your wardrobe and find the most expensive suit, wear the nicest perfume, and pick out the nicest shoes before coming to look for me?” I questioned him. “I always dress this way.” “Huh? Do you always wear a suit? Don’t you have casual clothes like jeans and T-shirts?” I asked him as my mind went over the times I had spent with him. I realized that I had never seen him dressed in anything other than suits. Wow. Even in the house, I have only see
Thalia“Did I say something wrong?”I asked Cross when he went silent after I jokingly called him ancient, he looked at me and looked away. Okay, maybe he didn’t get the joke. I was just kidding why did he have to take it so seriously? It’s not like he was really ancient.“Cross? I was just joking.”I whispered to him. He didn’t look at me, and I decided to give it up. I realized what he was doing. He didn’t want to answer my question about the number of women he had been with, so he was acting all offended.It’s not like I wanted to continue that talk anyway, I already told him that he doesn’t need to answer. A man like him would surely have had his share of lovers in the past. I am not the kind of girl who gave a fuck about things like that.“If it’s because I asked about your past lovers, don’t worry about it. I am really open-minded. I don’t care.”I assured him.“I care.”I whipped my head in his direction to make sure he was being for real. He was. Which was crazy. Why would he
Cross "Are you going to ignore me forever?" Thalia questioned in a whole whisper. I looked at her and looked away, choosing to concentrate on driving instead of her question or the many thoughts that were running through my mind. I almost lost my mind while I searched everywhere for her. I didn't know where she was and that drove me fucking crazy. I called her plenty of times but she didn't take my calls. I tried to call that bastard but he didn't take my calls either and that made me so scared. I drove around looking for her car. I even went to her old house and found the door locked. I asked around and found out that her friend went home for the weekend which meant Thalia couldn't have been with her. It had been the scariest three hours of my life. I kept blaming myself which I should. It was all my fault. I was the reason she had left the pack. If I had just—fuck! I don't even want to think about that right now. When she finally took my call after I decided to call her
