The Billionaire Alpha Calls me Mate #25 Kathy's Dilemma
I flinched, my eyes widening in horror as John’s words echoed through the room. My mind raced to grasp the implications of what I had just heard. Despite my inner turmoil, I tried to maintain a façade of normalcy, tapping away on my phone and sending a text to Jake about my location to appear engaged and calm.“You think she’s cute?” John blurted out, his voice loud enough to slice through the low murmur of the conversation. It was as if he was deliberately drawing attention to me, and my heart raced with anxiety. I wished the floor would open up and swallow me whole.“Don’t you?” Asher’s smirk widened, his eyes locked on me with an intensity that made my skin crawl. There was something unnervingly sincere about his gaze, making me feel like I was under a spotlight. His attention was both flattering and disconcerting.“You think our little Elsa is cute?” Kathy interjected, grabbing my hands with a playful yet assertive grip. It felt like she was trying to play matchmaker, and the whole

"If you thought we would judge you, you wouldn't have asked us to come!" Asher said in a bored tone.“I didn’t bother judging you when you stole my husband,” I said, trying to lighten the mood with a joke. When no one responded, I quickly added, “Well, when we were kids, didn’t we play house-house? You were always this superwoman, and I was the Luna, and John was my husband. Remember?”“Why would you bring that up? You forced me to be your husband. I always wanted to be Superman with Kathy!” John whined, his irritation clear.“Well, aren’t you now?” I shot back, puffing out my cheeks. It was all in good fun, but the atmosphere remained tense. I had never been interested in John beyond friendship, and the playful memories seemed out of place in the current context.“Your jokes are lame though,” Asher laughed, adding to the awkwardness with his sardonic humor.“Can you both stop making it about you? You two can flirt all you want later,” Kathy said, slamming her fist on the table. Her fr
The Billionaire Alpha Calls me Mate #27 Asher: Part 1
To damn my life!When we finished our meal, the storm outside was relentless, a torrent of rain that seemed to come straight from the heavens. The streets quickly transformed into a chaotic mess of puddles and rushing water.Desperate for a way out, I called for a taxi, but every driver I reached was either too frightened of the storm or simply unwilling to make the trek. As I stood shivering near the entrance, I caught sight of Asher and John engaged in a hushed, intense conversation. There was something undeniably conspicuous about their exchange, and I couldn’t shake the feeling that I was missing something crucial.Moments later, John abruptly grabbed Kathy, spinning a web of excuses about forgotten windows, an unlocked door, and a dog that might be loose. They vanished into the night, leaving me abandoned and alone with Asher.That damned smirk on his face!Asher’s presence was both unnerving and compelling. Despite his undeniable charm, he lacked the qualities that made Jake so s
The Billionaire Alpha Calls me Mate #28 Asher: Part 2
I didn't know what to reply. The car fell into a heavy silence, punctuated only by the sound of the rain battering against the windows. I wanted to confront him further, to understand his motives, but I was also afraid of what he might reveal. The tension was palpable, a thick, suffocating blanket that made it hard to breathe. "Don’t you want my address?" I asked, suddenly realizing that I hadn’t given him any directions. "Let me put on some music," Asher’s hand brushed against mine again as he reached for the radio, sending an electric jolt through me. “What’s wrong?” he asked, his voice softer now. "I was trying to start the GPS." I blurted out like a lie even though it was the truth. The accidental contact sent a shiver through me, and I quickly pulled my hand away, focusing on the rain-splattered window instead. The silence that followed was stifling. "Everyone knows where the great alpha Jake Black lives," Asher said after a few minutes of silence. “Hmmm,” I said abruptly, pu
The Billionaire Alpha Calls me Mate #29 Guilt Trip
Guilt.More guilt.I had woken up this morning on an adrenaline high, fueled by desire and forbidden passion. But now, as the day dragged on, guilt had taken over, driving me into a deep, suffocating pit. The intensity of the morning’s emotions had been starkly contrasted by the heavy weight of my remorse. The guilt was suffocating, pressing in from every side, made even more complex by the events of the day—particularly my unsettling encounter with Asher.The rain pounded relentlessly as I trudged up to the mansion, the storm mirroring the turmoil inside me. My thoughts were a tangled mess.“Miss White, you are drenched!” The security guard’s voice at the main mansion gate cut through my haze of guilt. I had been soaked to the bone somehow despite the umbrella I was holding, a meager shield against the downpour.“I should not have gone out in this weather,” I murmured, lowering my gaze. The rain had plastered my clothes to my skin, and the chill was penetrating my very core.As I made
The Billionaire Alpha Calls me Mate #30 My Sanctuary
Inside my room, my heart dropped to the floor. My hormones activated when I saw Jake peacefully sleeping on my bed. The window was now closed. Did he use the door or window? Or did Tyler lie to me? Whatever!I felt a different kind of satisfaction watching Jake sleep like a baby. He had lost some weight and had tanned a bit. I wish I could take off some of his burden. I had to grow right! To be worthy of his love. My heart skipped a beat.Forgetting all about my miserable condition, I covered him up with my blanket, giving him a small peck on his lips. I don't know if he realized it was me or not, but when his lips curved into a smile, my heart skipped a beat. He was the only one in my head and heart. It took me some time to tidy up. When I was back, Jake was already awake and drinking the tea that Tyler had prepared for me. I gulped hard at the confirmation. Tyler knew about us. Otherwise, Jake wouldn't be here and drinking that tea with audacity. Fuck! I felt like digging up a hole
