"Okay, I can see... you want all the intel on me," Saint says with an easy smile and looks at my dad briefly before getting even more relaxed in that chair, as though he owns that chair and this whole building. Military men don't get relaxed like that, I don’t think, "I'm originally from Canada. I got in the military at eighteen but I had a situation and left last year. I had to stay under the radar for a while but a few months ago I managed to cross the border, so I'm here undocumented. Anyway, I was looking for weed one day, that’s how I got into contact with Angelou people and I asked for a job because I wasn't going to get one any other way. They gave me a pound of coke and I started selling but then Gideon, my previous boss, decided to let me show my true skills during an encounter and he liked the way I work so he kept me as part of his team for a while and that’s how I got this meeting. That's all."

Hm. Something is not clicking, that sounds rehearsed.

"Where's your Canadian passport?" I ask.

"Lost it. All my documents are gone.”

"There must be a Canadian embassy around here."

"I’m on the run from the military, I can’t show my face anywhere near the embassy," Saint snaps. I frown and I’m about to ask what the hell did he do. My dad tries to stop me with his eyes.

"Why?" I ask anyway.

"Because I killed someone," he snaps again. My mouth falls open because... what the fuck? He’s a killer! But…

"And you served for how many years?" My dad asks, completely disregarding the 'kill' thing... because it’s totally normal here. For him. Not really for me yet but I guess I have to get used to it.

"Seven," Saint responds one beat too late, as if he's counting. If you really served seven years, do you have to count?

"So, what are your skills, Saint?" My dad continues, studying him before opening the skinny file and reading something there.

"Everything, Sir. You can put me to any test and I will excel every single time," he responds with so much confidence, it nearly suffocates me. I roll my eyes, "Strategic planning, physical combat, tactical intelligence, gunnery. The real answer is everything. I can study a situation and be ten steps ahead, always ready. It's like I can see the future sometimes."

My dad shares a little chuckle with him, most likely loving his confident demeanor. Ugh, he's totally eating it up. Saint’s... lies. His bullshit.

So he can see the future? Let's see if he sees this.

I lift my hand and slap him across the face. He gasps in surprise and my dad's eyes widen in horror.

"Your reflexes suck, Saint," I say, laughing when he stays like that for like ten seconds, in true shock.

"Eros, what the fuck?" My dad growls at me, "Apologize."

"I'm sorry, but aren't you preaching you’re so good at every single thing? Didn't you see that coming with all your intelligence and strategic planning or whatever?" I ask Saint, he's still in shock, "Okay… I'm sorry, actually. I really thought you would stop my hand. I didn't even hit you that hard."

"I didn't see it coming," he murmurs through his teeth like he can't believe it, then he turns to me again. Oh, he hates my fucking guts, "Try and do it again."

"No way, you'll see it coming this time," I murmur, laughing at the way his left eye starts to twitch. I bet he wants to punch me right now, "Anyway, Saint Bernard... what's your five-year plan?"

{ Saint }

I hate this guy. I hate this guy. I fucking hate this guy.

Thank fuck I created a whole backstory as to why I have absolutely no human documentation because otherwise this fucking idiot would've blown my plan to pieces.

Although... I guess he already did that. The perfect path I saw before I left my pack doesn't exist anymore. I will still have all the money and power I saw, but this fucking idiot is here to stay.

No matter what, no matter where, I'm stuck with him.

I tried to look for new paths to take without him in them, but there aren't any. Seriously. Unless I die or he dies, there aren't any, at least not right now when my wolf is so excited to have found his fated mate.

"I'm guessing Gideon filled you in to the fact that I'm looking for a new Head of Security," Elio says, ignoring his son’s annoying question. I nod because I know his previous HS was recently killed by his biggest rivals. Robert Wallace died protecting Elio and of course that sucks, but it’s also the reason I'm about to be rich so... sorry not sorry, "Robert started working for me twenty years ago, he was my main guy, I trusted him with my life and he died a hero. I know it's not going to be easy to find another Robert, but according to Gideon, you're the closest thing we have. I'm choosing to believe that, but don't think that means you're instantly my new main guy."

"Of course not, Sir. Trust gets built over time," I respond, "I don't expect you to magically trust me without even knowing me, but I will show you what I bring to the table... and then I will be your new main guy."

Elio smiles, already charmed, but Eros makes a tiny groan next to me and I have to clench my hands in fists to stop myself from doing something like slapping him too.

Over and over again until he fucking disappears.

    "Who's this?" he asks, pointing at other one of my old friends. So now I have to tell him everyone's names and the backstory on how we met. There’s not even too much to say, there's not many people in Akino so I'm basically friends with anyone who is around my age. Not to mention, I became very popular when everyone realized I was a True Alpha and my ability came out. Suddenly, everyone wanted to be my friend. "Everyone is so hot," Eros says at the end, looking at the photo deeper. He's thinking hard, "Would you ever take me to this place? Akino?" "Why? So you can repeat over and over how everyone is so hot?" I grumble, salty. This time, I successfully snatch my phone back, "No. And not only because I'd be annoyed at that. I can't go back because people are expecting me to fulfill a role I don't want." "The Alpha thing," he murmurs, I nod, "So... why not? You can explain better now that I know more about what’s actually going on." "You still wouldn't understand," I sigh, but then

    "Uhm, are you completely sure I won't forget how to drive in the middle of the road and create a car crash with multiple deaths?" Eros asks. I don't even bother responding, I just give him a blank look. I've told him before that I hate being questioned, "Alright, but if something happens, it'll be on you.""Nothing will happen," I repeat, slower this time, "I want this to be the last time you doubt me. It's not attractive, I don't like it."Eros laughs."So, in order to be attractive to you, I have to just accept that you're an all-knowing, all-powerful being?" he asks like that's ridiculous, I just nod, "Saint, you need an ego check.""What I need is a mate who'll shut up and do everything I say," I snap and point at the ignition, "Let's go, man. I'm hungry.""Fine, alright," he murmurs like he's the one annoyed by me, but then he actually starts the car and drives to the gates. He takes a huge breath and releases it slowly as he drives off, "So, tell me more about what you find attr

  • Alpha’s Unwanted Mate   Firsts

    "So… what is that 'mate' thing about?" my dad asks, genuinely curious instead of suspicious. He's just a curious man in general, so he might like to hear all about Saint's weird religion. "Saint and his cult think we were born to be together forever because some entity said so. Apparently, it makes people really crazy about their specific mate person." "You are so wrong," Rose mutters under her breath, eyes narrowed as if she's annoyed at me, "First of all, we're not a cult." "Mother," Saint growls, making her turn to him, "If he wants to call it a fucking cult, he can." "Well, he should know the truth," she growls back. Just to be clear, I wouldn't do this to a woman, but someone should put a prong collar on her too. Like mother, like son, "And if you don't start talking soon, I will. I'll tell your little mate every detail you're conveniently letting out and I'm sure he'll make you go back home to us. He'll understand you're needed with your people." I doubt it. I want him here

    I wake up at God knows what time, but my phone is ringing and Saint is groaning in complaint. I get up with a pained groan to grab it and when I see it's my dad, I immediately feel awake. "Yes? What's up?" I ask, alarmed. He wouldn't be calling me unless... "Come down for breakfast, in the backyard," he says with a casual tone. I relax and fall back down to bed, "Saint too, I need a word with both of you. And move fast, the food is almost ready." "Ugh, what time is it?" I groan and look at the screen, it's fucking eight AM. But I can't say no to my dad, "Fine, we'll be there in five." I throw my phone away and shake Saint. He's already awake, but unwilling to open his eyes. I'm in pain, dirty as fuck and tired. So tired. We fucked again two times last night, one in the shower and the other in bed again. We're probably running on four hours of sleep, at most. "My dad wants us to have breakfast with him," I let Saint know, he doesn't move, "You should go to your room and get dec

    “You'll have to work harder for that kiss, though. You'll have to take me out on a date and hold my hand in public and actually treat me like your boyfriend," I demand, loving how he looks less and less enthusiastic, but nods anyway. I don't know why this is working so much for me, but I push his chest until he's fully lying on his back and then I climb on his lap. He pulled his pants back on, but I'm still naked and this is really hot, "You'll have to say something nice to me every day. Something say nicer than 'I want to fuck you'." "I'll try, can't promise I'll succeed," he responds with a voice that turns more and more distracted as his hands move to my hips and his eyes get hyper-focused on my body. My abs, more specifically.I haven't had much of an appetite lately and I've been hitting the gym with Brody every day since we arrived from Cancun, so I’m ripped and tanned. I look really, really good. I lift my arms and flex them for Saint. And for the first time, I get to see a

    "No," I move my face away before he can actually do it. He stops and starts glaring at me immediately, "You don't get to kiss me yet." "WHAT?" he growls and my heart spikes up, but I remind it Saint won't hurt me, even if he sounds like a crazy man when he talks like that, "You're fucking rejecting me?" "You don't deserve it," I murmur, but I watch him disappear inside his own mind again. God, it's so weird when he does that. His eyes unfocus and he really looks like he's going somewhere else, "Saint, come back." "Why are you saying no? You never say no to me," he complains with an actual pout he would never admit to. I hate to think he looks cute, but he does, "What changed?" Now that I know there's actually something going on where he gets answers by the universe or whatever, I realize a lot of instances where he's been weird like this. He speaks as if things already happened and I thought it was just a Canadian way of speaking, but I guess not. "You're not devoted enough for
