I keep hidden in our room until it is time for Warrior training. The training complex is on the outside of the compound, where the bonfire parties from previous weeks take place. Two dozen of us, including Roxie, Matt, Felix and Cherry are attending. The grass is marked in training circles, the aim being to fight within a smaller area each time. The first circle is the size of a basketball court, designed to reflect an open battlefield. The final one, three sizes down, is smaller than a double bed, deadly personal combat. I warm up, stretching and jumping like it might magically turn me into the kind of battle-hardened machine you need to be for a place in this squad. “Pair up!” Coach Grantley shouted as everyone quickly shuffled to the side. A rugged man in his mid-fifties, greying and covered in silvery scar lines he looked terrifying. His shaved mohawk hairstyle didn’t help settle my nerves. If Roxie had been standing anywhere near me I’d have suggested he looked like a psycho
Following Luna Madeline’s little diversion I eventually stopped mooning over Kate’s window like a desperate puppy and headed inside. Only to find my father proposing a change to the itinerary. Rose glared at me as I walked in, Beta Rhett stood very near her which I glared back at him for. Not the fucking start I wanted. He sighed and took a step to the left. Rose mind-linked me, her voice full of frustration, /Father wants me to accompany Alpha Austin on this fucking tour of the compound, you have to look after me!/ /Nothing is happening, there are no deals being made like that without me knowing first/ I sent back but my words felt hollow. If father could change the full conference schedule without telling me then of course he will do his dealings with Rose separately. /Father, can I ask-/ /Not now. Did Luna Madeline have anything to say?/ I gave him the slightest of nods across the room. This wasn't for a mind-link conversation. Especially when Dark Arts specialists were presen
This has been the greatest month of my life. Since finding out about the money everything has just been fabulous. Felix is adorable. Such a cuddly cupcake of a man hidden under all those rippling muscles. It’s bringing out all kinds of sides of me I didn’t even know I had, I could do anything, I mean anything to Felix and those big green eyes would let me. I’ve had him blindfolded, tied to the bed, I’ve straddled him to the point of screaming for release all because in my mind I am doing these things to Alpha Dex. I don’t just want to fuck him, I want to be his Luna. I want to completely shatter his world and leave him no option but to pluck and fuck me out of obscurity and into the limelight. It sounds completely crazy doesn’t it. It seemed impossible at one point, until that fight. He might have rigged the game for Kate out of pity, but his eyes were on me. I felt that burning heat, it could only be from him. Every muscle in my body tingled, I wanted to pose, stick out my ass or
Every night alongside the little prayers I send up for my mother and father, I send one for Felix too. He is making Roxie so happy, and without realising it, I can crash in our shared room on my own for the most part. We are naturally avoiding each other. She comes in to get new clothes when she knows I have an extra lesson. I hang out on the roof for the few hours she uses the shower. I miss her silly, dramatic ways, and how loudly she has to complete every task. The room is so quiet with just my thoughts. We nod in the corridors as we pass, she might mouth a “how are you?” but no conversation. Nobody wants to be tarnished by association. Even Cherry and Matt, two people I thought so much of are strangers to me now. I might have been an orphan almost all my life but it is this month where I felt truly alone and abandoned for the first time. Roxie is glowing though. Like a supermodel, her hair, skin and eyes all seem so much brighter than I remember. It’s as though she has burst
Rhett still isn’t right with me, it’s been a month since I grabbed his shirt and lashed out. This is why Kate has got to go, she’s messing with my head too much. I shouldn’t be losing it with my most loyal Beta, the man I would trust with my family's life. So, to make amends, I asked him and Glenn to come with me on this town inspection. Normally just one would come with me along with a load of Strategists, accountants and other miserable administrators. I wanted to have some fun, forget about…certain people anyway. Except it wasn’t fun. The town was a dusty, run-down shithole. And certain people, Kate, never left my mind. My father hadn’t invested in it for years and it showed. Even the farming land was poorly maintained. I understand it’s hard to farm when it's constantly sunny and there is limited water but even by our low standards this town was wrecked. It was sobering stuff, not helped by the fact Rhett was still icy. We had room’s laid on by the town mayor, a pudgy, greasy
By the time I look up from my notes it is dark. The library is empty, only one light visible across the whole floor. There is a good chance I’m going to get locked in again if I stay much later. I can see the flames of the bonfire party out of the window. The music and whooping thuds dully through the window. Closing my eyes it feels like I was there years ago, not six weeks. So much has changed since then. When I heard footsteps pounding up towards my floor I gathered my books, preparing another apology for the steely eyed librarian. What I didn’t expect was Alpha Dex. Grey tshirt, black leather jacket, hot as hell even with a look of seething hatred on his face. His eyes caught mine and my throat seized. Instinctively I grasped my books closer to my chest, afraid of what any other bodily reaction could be. From the doorway, he paused. My heart dropped at the idea he might just leave, before suddenly storming towards me. Ruby red flashed through those espresso coloured irises.
Even though a crowd of people is the last thing I want I need to see Roxie. I’ve got to try and make some sense of all this, make this night about more than giving to my attraction to Dex. All my possessions abandoned for now in the library I jog over to the far end of the compound where the bright, crackling bonfire towers high, sending billowing black smoke into the clear sky. It wasn’t hard to spot Roxie, as usual she was in neon, a lemon and lime coloured mini dress paired with a black leather jacket. It looked ferociously expensive, but then I guess she can afford it. /Don’t be bitter/ Raya scolded as I sighed, hoping the breeze would whisk away any remaining scent of arousal on my skin. Stood with Cherry, Matt, Felix, Sinead, and Martha. They were all having fun. Until they saw me. With a tut and an eye roll the immaculate Martha and Sinead tapped Roxie lightly on the arm. “Don’t worry, we know YOU have to talk to her”, was the implied message. Bitches, feeling a flash of an
Last night was ridiculous. Lying naked in my huge wooden four poster, drowning in crisp white sheets I cannot work that girl out. The fury in her eyes towards me was genuine. Kate hates me yet within a second, those very same eyes are filled with lust, her wolf beckoning mine forward. I’ve never felt Alba get dizzy before, it was unnerving to feel him lose control as Kate worked her magic. When I finally had her where I wanted her, she should have melted, screaming my name. The way she repeatedly clenched around my fingers, she was fighting against me even as she kissed me like a tigress. Even then she refused to yield. “Never,” she had said, she is never going to cry my name. I’ve never made someone angry with me explode like that before. I wasn’t even intending to go there. I wanted her to confess that she was messing with me. That the rumours are true. Instead I end up breathless as she stared into my eyes, her fingers gripping my hair as she climaxed. You’re not that special,
