-Ethan-
I thought I had it under control.
I thought I understood where I stand. But why did it seem like I was letting Stefan take her again like he did before? Why does it feel like I am letting her go again?
Is that even what I really want?
I was never the type of man who would force himself on someone. But seeing her with him, my best friend, the man who hurt her so much that she was willing to give up her chance at happiness so that she could have her revenge.
Every time they share a moment and yes, there was a lot, I feel my blood reach the boiling point, preparing to explode. I know that all of those sultry looks and touches that Angeline made as part of the seduction that she learned from my sister to lure Stefan in as she ta
-Angeline-I know that he was there before I saw him and I have a feeling that he would continue to stay hidden unless I asked him not to.“I know you’re there,” I said in a voice only the two of us could hear.I watched as he took a step out from the shadow of my living room and walked towards the side of my window where he leaned against the wall.“You lost,” he said declaring the obvious. But there was something about his demeanor that was different. Something in his aura that seemed to have changed. I can feel it in the air. The tension that was slowly growing between us, was too sensitive to touch. That if we forced it, it would explode like a nuclear bomb.I took a look in his direction, letting h
-Stefan-I won. I don’t know why I was so happy about it that I can’t seem to stop smiling. “Was winning that important to you?” Elias asked as he sat in front of my desk in my office. “Winning against her is,” I said, still smiling. “There’s something about you and her,” Elias said but this time he was serious. “What do you mean?” I asked pretending all innocent even though there wasn’t anything innocent about it. I knew from the moment that I accepted her challenge that there was no turning back. Especially after I heard the story about how she had lost someone just like me. Even though we were both sparring and fighting to win a challenge, I feel like we connected more. It’s like we are two broken souls aching to find some meaning in our lives. Something that makes living in this hellhole worthwhile. “Stop pretending, Stefan,” Elias said without any room for humor. “You know exactly what I mean.”Yup, I know exactly what he meant. Which is why I am enjoying torturing him.
-Angeline-Nothing seems to have changed since Stefan won against me just two days ago except with Ethan going back to his pack.He never approached me again after that night at my house. Elias on the other hand became more stricter when it came to our training. He sought my assistance when it came to teaching the other she-wolves of the Black Shadow the most basic defense and offense moves that I knew and that the training with Ethan with begin with our basic knowledge once he visited us once again.Stefan on the other hasn’t claimed any of his wishes yet which made me a bit nervous somehow. There are times when I just want to rush into his room and ask him to just tell me whatever it was that he wanted to just get it over and done with. But I know that I can’t do that. I sighed as the anxiety of not knowing started to swallow me whole. “What’s wrong?” Lina asked.“Nothing,” I said shaking my head as I continued to do my stretches. “We both know that’s a lie,” Martha said knowi
-Stefan-I never stopped thinking about her. And for the first time after Angeline’s death, I now have something that I look forward to. Something that I realized I missed. Like how I missed talking to Angeline even through text. How I miss being taken care of by her, especially with the extra details that she makes sure I would see. I miss her baking, specifically because Angeline can’t cook. The memory of her trying to make me breakfast flashes in my mind. Especially her facial reaction when she found out that I was lying when I told her that I love her cooking so much. If I sum it all up, I would say that I was really one lucky man. Unfortunately, I was also stupid. I sigh, as my frustration and guilt combine, letting me remember all my regrets and the reason why I was alone right now, despite being married to Claire. I know that if Angeline was here things would have been a lot different than what it is now, especially with our son.She would have been a wonderful mom, I jus
-Ethan-It’s been a while since I won against Stefan and god I love it so much!It was both refreshing and amazing to watch. I would lie if I said that it didn’t feel good because it did. I enjoyed watching the way he tried to hide the shock on his face when I told his stupid-ass wife that Angelica is my girlfriend. Well, I just did that to save Angeline from further damage and honestly, I can’t believe that Stefan just let Claire treat Angeline the way. Damn, that woman should be tied up and whipped in front of everyone to learn her lesson. “You shouldn’t have done that,” Angeline hissed the moment she walked in. “Hello, Anj–,” Lucas greeted but stopped when he saw her mood and was just not sure what to call her. “Hi, Lucas,” Angeline greeted as she passed him by. “What were you thinking?” Angeline asked as she paced in front of me. Anxiety filled her small frame and I couldn’t help but smile. The thought of her rushing to me because of her panic makes me feel like I had some s
-Angelica-I can feel my body vibrate with so much anger. I can’t believe Ethan would do such a thing. I can’t believe that he would get in the way when he promised that he wouldn’t. I started to walk out of the training room when everyone was let go from the incident that had happened with Stefan, Claire, me, and now Ethan. I was about to exit the training room when Lina blocked my way smiling crazily at me. “Oh no you don’t just walk out of this room without telling us all the details,” Lina said holding me by the shoulders and stopping me. “There is nothing to talk about,” I replied. Trying to avoid her eyes but she was relentless.“Obviously there is,” Lina said crossing her arm. “We are not blind, Angelica.” I sigh, unable to reply. Damn you Ethan for giving me this headache. I swear to god I will get you for this if it’s the last thing that I would do. “Come on, Angelica,” Mari said in a teasing tone, “We sisters now, there’s nothing to be shy about having the two stronges
-Angelica-I didn’t waste any more time and didn’t even bother knocking at his door. He doesn’t deserve to be treated kindly after he just made a mess. Now how would Stefan be attracted to me if he thinks that I am Ethan’s girlfriend?“You shouldn’t have done that,” I hissed the moment she walked in. “Hello, Anj–,” Lucas greeted but stopped when he saw the reaction on my face. I am not angry at him but I can no longer contain the anger I was feeling towards his Alpha. Still, he deserved the same courtesy that he had been showing me, politeness and respect. “Hi, Lucas,” I greeted as I passed him by not removing my eyes from the man who ruined my plans.“What were you thinking?” I shrieked pacing in front of Ethan as anxiety filled me. All I couldn’t think of at that moment was my ruined plan. I was planning to do some damage to him but then my fear has already swallowed me hole.“You,” Ethan said, using that voice that sends an electric current all over my body causing me to stop pac
-Stefan-I can’t believe that Ethan could do that to me. However, if I look at it from everyone else’s point of view, I would be the one who is wrong. Because of that damn piece of paper that I have signed. Now I hated why I even had to agree with what Ethan had said when there was nothing I wanted more than to tell everybody that I wanted her, that she belonged to me.But now, how can I say it out loud? How can I tell everyone that I want her? How can I tell her that I want her?“So what are you thinking?” Elias asked cautiously. “Honestly, I don’t know what to think.” If there were someone, aside from Ethan, that I could be honest with it would be Elias. “Are you okay?” I look at my Beta and I can see how unsure he is about how he could approach me. I sighed miserably because that was exactly what I was feeling. “To tell you the truth, I didn’t know that I cared more about Angelica than I initially thought,” I finally said what I had been keeping from everyone including myse
