All Chapters of PLAYTHING OF THE ALPHA PREDATORS: Chapter 141 - Chapter 150

APRILIn my next life, I’d either come as a monarch’s favorite tea cup, or not come at all. All because this life was started to feel far too gloomy and devastating to live through. If my first life was this tedious, why would I consent to another one? No bloody way. Aren’t you being a little too dramatic? came my subconscious’s snarky interruption. I wasn’t being a little too dramatic though. This wasn’t even adequate drama for someone who just came to terms with the fact that she’s a bad luck charm. Everyone around me always met their unfair share of tragic events, and once the bad luck dice started rolling, it wouldn’t stop until I was back to being deserted and alone. First, it was my father who died. Then, my mother who abandoned me right after and lost every ounce of motherly care for me. Then, every best friend I’ve ever had was cursed with a shitty love life until they moved on from me. And now, I’d single-handedly crushed a friendship that had been carved in stone from w

APRIL I’d been in the shower for a few minutes now, and my phone had rang countless times during that period. No one called me these days, so I always felt like doom was once again lurking close by whenever my phone rang. It would either be someone bringing me bad news or someone who’s more than eager to rain more insults on me since that’s all I got from people these days. I wasn’t eager to find out who was calling me, so I took my precious time in the shower and only stepped out when I was done with my twelve step bath routine and no sooner. When I headed to where my phone was on my bed, it started ringing again and I grabbed with the speed of lightning when I read the caller ID.The relief that hit me was instant and overwhelming and I had to pause for a second to realize how silly that was before I hit the answer button. “Ace, hi! How’re you doing?” I asked immediately, realizing how awfully worried I was about him even after my unpleasant run-in with his mom. “It’s his mothe

APRIL Nick looked clearly wounded by my refusal to go with him and I hated that whenever I made a decision about the guys, someone always ended up hurt. However, I was making the right decision this time around, and while I hated that Nick was caught in the crossfires, I had to stay back and cater to the man who literally got caught in a firing for me two days ago. As much as I wanted to catch up on everything that happened between when the police barged into his home to arrest him and now, that wasn’t high up on my list of priorities until I was able to nurse Ace to health for saving my life even when I didn’t deserve it. So, for now, Ace’s full recovery was my main focus. But I couldn’t help how horrible I felt about Nick’s hurt expression that I was clearly responsible for. “I’m really sorry, Nick. I know this doesn’t make you feel good, but I think it’s best if I stay with Ace for now,” I apologized in a solemn and sincere tone.He stepped closer to me and leaned in, his feat

APRILI knew this day was coming, I just hoped it’d wait until the day Ace was being discharged. Right now, his mother looked like she’d been dying to say that for days and I saw it in her eyes every time that she walked in here and spotted me, it was always clear that she was fighting the urge to unlock the nearest window and throw me out like trash. “We’d appreciate that, yes,” Ace’s father backed up his wife without wasting a breath.I didn’t even get a chance to think up a response before Ace piped in, “she can’t leave, she’s staying here with me until I’m officially discharged,” he insisted. His father’s face immediately turned red with fury and he was soon marching towards Ace’s bed like a man storming off to war.“What the fuck is your problem? Is death the only way you’ll ever see things sensibly? This is the second girl you’ve liked and just like the first one, she almost got you killed by foolishly letting you play hero!” his father flared up like Ace’s last words were fu

APRILLuckily, the doctor came to my aid before she could burn a hole in my skin.“Unfortunately, that’s not a wise choice Luna Jackson,” the doctor cautioned her in a tone filled with reverence, “it’s this young woman’s presence that pulled him out of a near coma, and it’s also her nearness to him that has allowed him recover faster than anyone should in his condition…” Ace’s parents looked between each other, clearly torn and in distress about the decision they had to make. They were weighing if their undying hatred for me was worth risking their son’s life, or if they could tolerate me just to keep their precious heir alive. “I honestly doubt that there’s a medical explanation for how all of that is possible, but since her presence keeps him grounded and fastens his healing, it’s best if she’s always at his side, especially right now after the shock incident,” the doctor finished and I could see the wheels turning in the heads of Alpha and Luna Jackson. “Whatever, you can go in,
