LENA. Don't panic, Lena. Don't break, not now. Tears welled in my eyes after I had to send Alexander away. I couldn't be with him. I couldn’t be with my mate. I had to pretend like I didn't want to see him. Getting to my apartment, I dropped to the floor, unable to stop the tears from flowing down my cheeks. My hands were trembling, and I could tell it was because I had chased my mate away from myself. I had told him not to come near me. My body was damaged. My soul was crused, ever since I used my hands to kill him - at least I thought that I did- my body had turned against me, and now it felt like my body didn't belong to me anymore. Being with him even for a few moments always restored balance within me. I knew he was all I needed to heal, but he wasn't mine anymore. He no longer belonged to me. My phone beeped in my bag, which tumbled over next to me. It rang over and over before I stretched my hand and picked it up. It was the home number—the phone we left for the kids to be
ALEXANDER. “Don’t look away from me.” I grabbed her chin and pulled her to look at me. Her body trembled, her lips kept quivering. I wanted to kiss them, but didn’t want to scare her. I wanted her to be comfortable with me. To stay with me, yet she kept trying to leave. So, I actually just let the silence sit between us. She had a lot of baggage, and I wanted her to help her carry it, but she wouldn’t let me. She wouldn’t tell me why she was crying. She wouldn't let me touch her. She…So, I watched. I let her cry next to me. Allowing her to wallow in her sadness while serving as an absorber and listening to her silent words. Watching her chest rise and fall. I wanted to pull her to me so bad and be a chest for her to lie on, but I respected her privacy, and we sat there in silence until she was done.After I drove her home, I was glad she even let me know where she lived. Once the car halted, she tried to escape instantly, but I grabbed her hand. Shivers jolt up my spine, and
LENA. His fingers brushed my skin, and I couldn’t stop the tingles running up my spine. He cupped my face and gently wiped my tears away with his thumb. I stood there letting him pull so much heat through me. I didn't stop him, even when I knew I couldn't control myself around him. He was my mat; every touch, his scent, and the heat that came from him, I could feel it all. All I could think about was resting on his shoulders and taking advantage of this moment to be pampered. To be loved. I wanted to tell him how hard it had been for me. And I just wanted him to return home with me, but things don't happen that way. If wishes were horses, then I would ride a few. “Do... do you want to come home with me?” His rough voice sounded, and I could only think of myself at that moment. The pooling in my stomach wouldn’t stop. I felt so much better with him in front of me. I didn't have to use drugs, and I could already feel so much even now."Your house?” I asked. I wonder if this was how
ALEXANDER. Later that night, I got texts. “Hello, our new daddies!” The text had too many emojis. I wasn't even joking right now; there were excessive ones. Okay, I wasn't ready to deal with kids. “Send me your mama’s Cash App. I'm gonna send you money. Just text me whenever you need it. Also, only ever go straight to the point.” I used my full stop effectively, conveying the message clearly. I was going to support them financially only. I walked over to the kitchen to grab coffee, my favorite drink, especially when I was stressed, like today. Work closed up early because of the door that I smashed. Apparently, Royce thought the moon goddess was telling him to give the workers the rest of the day off. The most unserious Alpha ever, yet he still managed to come out the best time. Now Jamie’s jet project was ours like a freaking charm. I didn't get to see Lena for the rest of the day. Just then, my laptop peeped and I knew it was the kids. They must be so happy; it was the least I
LENA. “You must really think you are special, huh?” My chest was poked suddenly and when I turned around I was met by the two young women from the reception the other day. Royce had saved me from them that day but today it looked like no one was going to save me. “Special?” I asked sighing. I was merely waiting for my coffee this morning while thinking of the pile of jobs in front of me. I was also supposed to be at Jamie’s house by eleven to sign the jet project. Getting there wasn't the problem, being with him was. I still didn't know why he requested me of all people. “Yeah, because you got to speak with Jamie and Mr Monaco wants you to work directly with him. He hates partnership!” She spat. I didn't know her name but she had brunette short hair and the second girl was the one I saw at the front desk the other day. “You don't have to bully me, I have kids already. Two of them. I am not someone Mr. Monaco can be interested in,” I sighed. I just didn't want to be involved in t
ALEXANDER. She literally said it to my face that she wants to be with Royce. And I don't give a dime about that. I walked to my office, ignoring her. I left her with Royce because I didn't care. I was literally getting my hands on Jamie’s project because of her. I hated that man so much, I have vowed never to be on any of his projects. I didn't care anyway. I sat behind my desk, constantly looking up at the door, but no one came. She didn't come with me. Where did she go? Didn't I tell her to come wth me? She was supposed to be working with me from now on. Why was she so stubborn? I tried to ignore her and concentrate on working; it was the only thing that could fully take her off my mind. To work and work and work. However, she was the only thing that kept popping up on my screen. I hated this. I hated it so much. I got to my feet and started to pace around the room, thinking about what to do. How would I make her come to my office without having to force her? I placed one finger
