“Xavier is Nancy’s brother?”

He nodded, one hand shoved in his pocket, the other toying with his car keys. “Half-brother. Same dad, different moms.”

I nearly scoffed. Of course.

The condescension, the looks, the way they tag-teamed their snide remarks made sense now. I shook my head slowly, glancing back toward the building. “I didn’t expect that.”

Knox chuckled. It was pretty off-putting how normal he seemed these past few days. “Yeah. No one ever does.”

I sighed, brushing a strand of hair from my face. “Thanks for helping me get to the diner the last time, by the way.”

He gave me a mock bow. “Always here to chauffeur maids in distress. Did you find who you were looking for?”

“Yes,” I lied, just so he didn’t ask any more questions. That lie didn’t seem very believable. Knox watched me closely.

“You’re not in any kind of trouble, are you?”

No. But I knew someone who might be. “Of course not.” I let out a strained laugh. “I am not.”

“Good. Know that I am here if you ever are.”

    KAII was already regretting this shopping trip. My thumb moved in lazy circles over my phone screen as I slouched back in the chair, trying not to let the mall’s artificial lighting give me a headache. Nancy had been inside the fitting room for fifteen minutes now, probably trying on her entire closet’s worth of micro dresses.She finally emerged, twirling in something that looked like a napkin someone forgot to fold.“Well?” she asked, stretching her arms above her head in a pose she thought looked sultry. “What do you think?”“Is that… a top?” I asked flatly.She dropped her arms, wearing a pout. “A dress,” she enunciated sharply. “It’s a dress.”I raised a brow. “Where’s the rest of it?”Nancy scowled, tugging at the hem like it would magically grow. “Whatever, Kai. You never like anything I wear.”“Because you never wear anything,” I muttered, and flitted my gaze back to my phone.She turned to the retail worker hovering nearby and said, “I’ll take it. Lovee it so much,” like

    DALAI couldn’t find Amber.She didn’t show up for class, and her usual seat stayed cold and empty like she’d never even existed. At this point, I didn’t know if I should be pissed or worried. Knowing Amber, probably both.Or if I probably believed I knew her. After that day at the diner, it was very obvious that I didn’t.Still, I had other things to deal with, like the stupid form we were supposed to submit days ago. I rolled my eyes, clutching it in one hand as I wandered through the hallways, asking the first person I saw, “Hey, do you know where Mr. Xavier’s office is?”The girl glared at me, practically summoning the most contemptuous look she could from the pit of hell.Then she turned around and walked away, and I almost started to think I was invisible.Okay, fine. Rude.A sigh ripped out of me as I rounded the corner and headed up the stairs. I knew the offices were on the second floor.Not just the offices, by the way. The triplets’ class should be somewhere around there, t

    KAELIt was like my brain short-circuited.I leaned in. I don’t even know why I did it, but the moment her face tilted up, and the light caught her lips just so, something in me snapped. I just leaned in without a single thought in my head, without breathing, without considering the shatters I was leaving behind when I did.But then she pulled away, fast, like I was dirty water. My pride just hit the ground.“Shit—” I muttered, stepping back instantly, my heart ricocheting against my ribs. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean…”My voice trailed, words dying on my tongue while the light in her eyes died. She stared at me without uttering a word, her eyes saying things she couldn’t open her lips to utter.And I got it, loud and clear.A small, sad smile formed on her lips, like she was trying not to make things worse. “Thanks for… helping me take my mind off everything.”She turned and walked away, leaving me to sink into the silence and embarrassment. I didn’t know what the fuck was wrong with m

    DALA‘DALANTHA! Why aren’t you picking up my calls!?”I could hear her yell it from a pack away as I stared at the texts, followed by some photos that contained God knows what. I sighed and opened them too.Little did I know I’d need some mental hesitation to handle what my eyes fell upon. The moment I saw the photos, everything in me went still.Isabella was hooked up to wires and tubes, her normally smug face paler than I’d ever seen it. All my resentment toward my aunt and her daughter just didn’t matter at that moment. What the hell was going on?My hands were still trembling when the phone rang. Aunt Claudette’s name flashed across the screen, and I already knew how this was going to go. I answered anyway, inching the phone away from my ears before she blew up my eardrums. “Dala!” She yelled, as expected. “What is wrong with you!?” It wasn’t concern or softness in her voice, it was demand. “You saw the photos, right?”“I did,” I replied carefully, inching toward the sliding gl

  • Let The Alphas Fall For You   042: Nothing

    HERA“It’s nothing,” I lied, shoving my phone into my jacket pocket like it wasn’t burning a hole through me.That kept replaying like a broken record, searing itself into the front of my brain. The kind of torture word wouldn’t just explain I didn’t even want to give myself time to wonder what it meant. I didn’t want to think about the guy on the floor, groaning and holding what was likely a shattered wrist, or the trail of blood Vander had walked away from, like it didn’t mean anything.He wouldn’t kill anyone… right? I mean, it was Vander. And he was away…for years. Rumored to have been in Juvie but that was a discussion I wasn’t willing to have with him, especially not now. My palms became sweaty and despite the blistering coldness of this vehicle, heat still pooled me from the inside.I swallowed hard, forcing my body to stay calm. My thoughts spiraled. I spiraled, oscillating between wanting to ask questions or trying to text the person back. Whoever the hell it was. Vander

    DALAShit. Amber blinked like she’d just seen a ghost, and I wore the exact expression. She was the one who informed me of the school party, yet didn’t attend.“Hey,” I said quickly. Too quickly. “Amber, this is Vander.” I tried to make it sound as casual as someone dropping off a group project assignment. My…friend whom I just kissed.Please don’t recognize him.Amber’s gaze flicked between the two of us like she was connecting dots in a puzzle I didn’t want her to finish.“Nice to meet you,” she said politely. It wasn’t her real tone—it was her waitress voice. “What are you doing here?” I asked, tilting my head with the same fake smile she was wearing, knowing damn well a lie would follow. I still wanted to hear her say it. Amber glanced at the old man behind the counter and then reached out, grabbing my arm. “Come with me.”She didn’t wait. Just tugged me from the booth and dragged me past the kitchen doors, into the back of the diner while I mouthed to Vander that I would be ba

    DALAHe was leaving me behind. Abandoning me by the roadside. My heart had never felt so swollen.So full of nothing but gnawing sadness and pain as it dawned on me just how small I was.“Asshole,” I muttered under my breath.I waited for the sound of roaring engines and spinning tires, but nothing happened. Instead, the door creaked.When I looked up, Vander was walking toward me, holding a black jacket in one hand, his shirt already damp and clinging to his skin in a way that would’ve stolen my breath if I wasn’t already choking on it.Without a word, he draped the jacket around my shoulders. His hands lingered just slightly longer than they needed to, and he didn’t meet my eyes right away.“The rain,” he muttered, glancing up at the sky, “has impeccable comedic timing. It must be attracted you, I think?”I couldn’t speak. I just judged him hard and called him an asshole. Yet it took just an action for those feelings of anger and angst to completely dissipate. If I opened my mouth,

    DALAWhen I opened the door, the last thing I expected to see was a maid.Maybe not the last thing, but it was a cheerful maid. That rarely happened, especially not with Agnes. Her brows were creased in a permanent frown, and she always looked utterly irritated by everyone’s existence, except now she was smiling at me.“Hi, do you need my help with something?” I asked immediately, oscillating between a smile and a straight face.“One of the young Alphas has requested your presence. Meet in the yard in 10 minutes.”My brow shot up. “Who?”“You will find out.” Her smile didn’t falter. It was becoming more and more unsettling. “10 minutes.”I barely kept from rolling my eyes. Knox was the only one who would do this. The urge to say no made my tongue a playground, but it wasn’t Agnes I would be saying no to. “Okay.” She nodded, and I closed the door, leaning against it to catch my breath. I wasn’t mad at Knox anymore, and he’d apologized.I just didn’t want to be cordial with him. Not r
