Alpha Victor Chapter 16
VICTOR I led Dea through the apartment until we were standing outside my bedroom door, "You can stay here for as long as you need," I needed her to know how much I meant those words so I reached out to take her hand in mine. A pang of rejection splintered through my chest when she pulled away, refusing my touch. Her features grew taunt and she could barely lift her head to meet my gaze, "I don't want to be touched right now. Not by you, at least.""I understand," after everything that she had just faced, I didn't want her to deal with the confusion of why being close to me or my touch made her feel better. She wouldn't have liked the explanation very much anyway. I opened the door and stepped aside so she could enter first, giving her enough distance from me, "you can sleep here."Dea scanned the room, inhaling deeply and sighing as if whatever she smelled appealed to her, "This is your room." She wasn't asking, it was a statement. There was nothing in the room to denote it was min
Alpha Victor Chapter 17
DEAI couldn't believe this was where I had ended up, especially after everything I had told Victor. Here he was, rescuing me yet again and I didn't hate the idea as much as I was meant to. I dreaded going back to my apartment though. Eventually, I would have to but for now, I'd just avoid it like the plague. If I could, I'd avoid Jason, too. Every time I thought about him all I felt was resentment, rage, and bitterness. I wasn't the kind of person to hate someone. They had to offend me or do something despicable for me to hate them. But Jason surpassed hate. What I felt for him didn't have a word. It was malevolent, toxic, and dangerous. I had curled up under the blankets after using Saint's bathroom, snuggling the pillow while inhaling Victor's scent deeply. It was manly and woodsy and brought me a sort of comfort I couldn't turn away right now. I chose not to let the guilt of practically salivating over his scent worm its way into my mind. If Jason could fuck someone in the bed we
Alpha Victor Chapter 18
VICTORI was so close to tasting her, so close to having my mouth on hers and kissing her until she realized there was no one better for her than me, but I couldn't do it. Dea was in a fragile state and I didn't want her to make a decision she would regret later on. I felt the heartbreak she tried to hide, it was an unrelenting pang that ached my chest for hours. Last night she had barely slept. I heard the muffled sobs which she failed to suffocate with a pillow. She didn't realize it, but I was in the hall the entire night, and fell asleep there, hoping she would come out so I could check on her. I didn't want to go in because she would know I heard her and I didn't want to embarrass her. Before she could wake up this morning, I left. I had a quick shower to freshen up and tied a towel around my waist as I left the bathroom Sinclair and I shared. Dea hadn't left my room since I left her in it yesterday so she didn't get to meet Sin and—since Quade stayed over—the apartment felt too
Alpha Victor Chapter 19
DEAI was putting together my presentation for the seminar for more than half the day, distracting myself from my real problems. When I opened the email last night, I was excited but it was short-lived when I read the names of the other scientists that were going to be there as well. Dr. Jason Yates stood out to me and all of a sudden I was a sobbing mess yet again but I found my happy place as I buried my head in Victor's pillow and inhaled a scent I could only relate to him. There would be many talks going on that weekend, most of them overlapping. Whoever attended the seminar would need to pick which talk they were most interested in. I was lucky that Jason and I had the same time slot on the same day. Because he was in cancer research and I was a theoretical physicist, it just made sense to overlap both presentations. I couldn't imagine someone being interested in both fields. A soft knock sounded at the door and, before I could even permit entrance, Erica sauntered in with a s
Alpha Victor Chapter 20
VICTORI inspected Dea's injuries, finding one fractured rib and a few bruises but nothing too severe, "I don't think we need to take you to the hospital. I'll have the doctor check you out here when he arrives to check on Sin. I've called him up already."I met the pack doctor a few months back. Born to a family of rogues, he had decided to never join a pack and had studied medicine to become a human doctor. However, because he was a werewolf, he was self-taught in the ways of our kind and learned whatever there was to know about how different plants or other medicines affected us. "Wouldn't a hospital be able to treat me better?" Dea asked skeptically, clearly not trusting my decision. I tried not to feel the sting of her doubt but it cut deep, making me wince at the unexpected spark of pain that shocked my heart, "He's more than qualified to help you. I promise."Her gorgeous dark brown eyes glimmered with unease but she relented with a nod of her head, "Fine. I guess I wouldn't
Alpha Victor Chapter 21
DEAThe doctor wrapped up my ribs and prescribed me pain medication. He also advised me to use breathing exercises to help with the pain as well as ice the area. The thing was, I could barely feel the pain. It hurt if I moved too quickly or relaxed my body in an awkward position but I otherwise felt fine. Nevertheless, I sent Erica a text telling her I wouldn't be moving in today. I wasn't sure Victor would allow me to move in until I was healed, though. The doctor then left to check out Sinclair with Victor on his heels. I admired that about him. He had this protective nature but when directed at Sinclair, I wasn't sure if he realized it bordered on a fatherly type of love. It made me believe he would make an excellent father one day. Maybe an even better husband to some lucky woman. The thought had jealousy instantly stirring my gut. I couldn't stand the thought of another woman with him. The way their hands would roam his flesh freely, the way they would taste every inch of him,

VICTOR"What the hell, take me back to her!" I yelled as I stumbled forward, unable to stick my landing. Gripping the wall beside me, I managed to catch my balance and take in my surroundings, "are we in the hallway?"Tania shook her head in an unimpressed gesture, "Yes, we're in your hallway. I didn't think you'd want to be very far from her but how long do you think you would have lasted until you were spilling every one of your darkest secrets out to her? You needed to get away from her and I needed to talk to you so this just worked in our favor," she rested her hands on her baby bump and gestured with a nod of her head for me to follow her, "Walk with me, Victor."My gaze moved between Tania and the door to my apartment. I hated to admit it, but she was right. If she hadn't removed me from the situation I would have either told Dea the whole truth or given her a half-truth. The latter would allow guilt to riddle my entire being. However, I believed that her brother reserved the r
Alpha Victor Chapter 23
DEAI gave my brother a few days to settle in before asking him everything I was anxious to know. Going to work as normal and trying to avoid Jason seemed like a much easier feat considering how my life had been turned upside down. I was expected to just continue as if nothing happened and, for the most part, I met that expectation to the tee. But, beyond that, it hurt me more to see how dejected Sam had become. We went to our family home and collected whatever we could. Whoever we had of value and meaning, Victor had stored for us. The more distance I wanted to put between that man and me, the more the universe brought us together like magnets bound to attract to one another. The hardest part of leaving the reservation was visiting our parents' graves for the last time. I hadn't visited my mother since she was buried but it never bothered me. Knowing I could visit her at any given time was a comforting thought on its own. Now, we couldn't even do that. I couldn't go there and speak
