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
Thalia.“I am mated to Lucas too. Cross knows about it just like he knows that my relationship with Steve was fake.” She blinked, trying to make sense of what I just said. I gave her time for it to sink in. “That’s a lie, right? You just made that up, right? I mean, I get that you might not be dating that and I am happy that you are not but there is no way tha—“ “I am not lying. You can call your alpha or something. This.” I said and pulled my top to the side for her to see the mark. I leaned in and showed her where Lucas had marked me and then turned to the other side.“The marks might have faded but it’s the truth and they both know. Both found out yesterday. Why do you think Lucas is in our school?” I explained. She shook her head, looked at me, looked away, and then looked at me again. She opened and closed her mouth multiple times. “That’s n---“ “It is, why do you think he was so mad earlier? Cross said he is a jealous freak and I made a mistake earlier. I shouldn’t hav
Thalia “You like being kissed don’t you?” I nodded at his question. I was still too out of breath to speak. He smiled and caressed my face. “You are in luck. You have two mates to kiss you whenever you want.” He kissed me again and I smiled in happiness. Of course, I am the luckiest girl in the world. I got two of the hottest men in the world and what’s even more amazing, they know about each other and are willing to be with me together. “Can’t I ask you something?” He asked in a serious tone. “Yes,” I answered without hesitation. “That guy, the one who blocked your car, how much do you know about his family?” I knew who he was referring to even though he didn’t mention names. His question was surprising because I didn’t expect him to still remember Burke and not to talk of bringing him up while we were naked in bed together. Does that mean he looked him up or something? Surely, there’s a reason he hasn’t forgotten about Burke even though the incident with him h
Thalia “That’s for what you did to me last night.” He told me. I stared at him, confused as fuck and wondering what he was talking about. I didn’t even see him last night. It took a moment for what he meant to finally click and when it did, I frowned in disappointment. That’s it? That’s the punishment he told me about? I thought it would be something more. Like something erotic that would make me beg him. You know what I mean, right? I might have overestimated things. I couldn’t even hide my disappointment. “Why that face?” He asked me with concern. The playfulness of earlier was gone from his face. I tried to play it off because honestly, it was nothing to feel disappointed about. I don’t even know what’s wrong with me these days. I keep creating problems for myself. “Nothing,” I told him with a smile. He didn’t buy it. “Tell me. You can tell me anything, baby. Don’t hold back. I like it when you don’t hold back. Tell me whatever is on your mind no matter what it is,
Thalia He had nothing under the robe and was naked before me once the robe came off. I shamelessly ogled. God! His body was a work of art. I thought Lucas was packed tight and fit. Cross was just out of this world. And the most interesting part of him? His cock, thick and hard. His tip called to me as he reached and stroked himself. I swallowed and filled my eyes with the goodness of what I was about to enjoy until he got back on the bed with me. “Are you ready for me?” His words were more of a growl but I figured them out and nodded. “Yes..” I let out when he lifted his brow. He smirked and pulled me to him. He lifted my legs, lined his throbbing cock with my entrance, and sank into me. I couldn’t stop the loud, not-so-classy moan that escaped from my mouth when I felt him deep inside me again after weeks of wanting him and craving his fullness inside me. He filled me up so well in the way only he could and it felt so familiar. “Ohhh… Yess… fucking finally…” I let out as
Thalia “Cross.” I moaned his name in anticipation as he lifted my shirt to take it up. I raised my hand to aid the movement and soon, my shirt was off, leaving me in just my bra. His mouth closed over mine in a hot passionate kiss that had me breathing his breath and whimpering into his mouth. He kissed me hard and fast and then slowly. He nibbled on my bottom lips, slowly and sensually while his hands traveled my body. Then the kiss went from sensual to him practically eating me up. I had to up my game to match his energy as much as I could. God! He was as hungry for me as I was for him and I could feel it in the way he dragged his hands over my lower body, touching my bare skin with his warm fingers and leaving behind tingles everywhere he touched. I was on fire for him. I wanted him to touch me even more. I wanted to be completely consumed by the fire he started inside me. I didn’t just take; I also gave as much as I could. My finger curled into his hair and I grabbed a fistfu
Thalia “I missed you,” He growled when he pulled away to allow us to breathe after the breathtaking kisses we shared. I liked my slightly swollen lips. I could say the same about him. I missed him so much. I was the one who kissed him again. I kissed him with everything inside me, showing him just how much I missed him with my mouth. When we stopped kissing again, we stared at each other longingly. “God, Cross! I missed you so much! It doesn’t feel like it has only been a few days. It feels like we have been apart for so long.” I told him sincerely. I wanted to kiss him more. I wanted to get naked with him already and get to know him again in the most intimate way. It has been weeks since I last felt him inside me and the memories of that night were starting to fade away. I needed a redo to remind me of just how good it had been between us. “I missed you too, my darling. So much. I can’t believe I wasted our week together. I was such a fool.” I couldn’t disagree. It w
Thalia “It’s really you?” I asked even as I held him, his arms wrapped around my waist. I talked his shoulder and he let me go. I put a small distance between us, wondering if I was really seeing him. “Baby?” He called out. It didn’t look like a dream. It clearly wasn’t a dream! “Cross!” I couldn’t believe my eyes. He was here. He was really here. I thought I was dreaming when I saw him for the first time. I walked in and busied myself taking off my shoes first so that I could get comfortable enough to look around for the surprise Lucas had talked about. I didn’t even notice him until he whispered something and I looked up to see him standing there, it felt like a dream. I thought I had fallen somewhere, lost consciousness, and started dreaming. He was really here. “Hey baby, you are finally here! Surprise!” He said again and spread his arms out. The first time he said it, it didn’t click that he was the surprise that Lucas had talked about. He said it again and s
Cross “What’s taking him so long? Did he ditch me?” I grumbled impatiently and checked the time again. It was almost eight pm and still no sight of my mate and the fucker who went to get her. It shouldn’t take so long to bring her to me. We had an agreement. “The fucker!” I complained. I hope I didn’t drive all the way down here and did nothing. I dropped a meeting that I was supposed to hold to come here. I missed my mate so much and wanted to see her so badly that I didn’t think twice about postponing the meeting after I got him to agree to let me come over. I drove miles and hours to get here. I put my beta in charge of the pack just to come spend the night with my mate. He better not fuck things up. I wanted to call her after I found out from him that he messed up and made her mad but he said it would ruin her surprise so I stayed put. Oh, I gave him a piss of my mind. No way I was going to let him off after he made our mate angry and sad. The other thing he did to
Thalia “What’s the surprise? Tell me please,” I said, pouting my lips in an effort to make him spill the tea but he just laughed and shook his head. I wanted to know and now I wanted us to be at the hotel already so that I could see the surprise. “Patient baby. Good things happen to those who are patient.” He told me and hugged me again. He was right. If only I was patient enough to hear his own side of the story, I wouldn’t have almost ruined our relationship again. I need to learn to trust him and believe in what we have. The girls believed in him more than I did. I should thank them for talking me into coming to see him if not, I would have spent the night in misery all because of lies that Mariah made up. “I can’t believe I fell for her lies. I am so sorry, Lucas. I shouldn’t have doubted you.” I told Lucas sincerely. I can’t believe I almost ruined our relationship over a lie. Over some twisted narrative. Mariah might not know the harm she did by twisting what happ
Lucas “It wasn’t a date. I promise. She asked me to take her back to the resort because the bus left without her and she didn’t know her way around.” I explained the first part of what happened and why she even got in my car in the first place. I couldn’t leave her on her own. I genuinely thought that she was stranded and I didn’t want anything to happen to her. I got Thalia’s attention so I went on. “Halfway through the ride, she told me that she hadn’t eaten all day so I stopped at a restaurant and got her food. After that, she told me she got her period and didn’t have a pad with her so I drove to the mall and paid god the things she got. That’s it.” I explained to her. She didn’t look convinced at first but her expression started to change right before my eyes. I waited for her to process the things I told her first before I continued. She opened and closed her mouth multiple times without saying anything and still, I waited. “Did you hug her?” That happened too bu
