Alex POV
" What the fuck Alex? What do you do to her?" My best friend yelled, looking at me with anger." I think I messed up." I whispered.Leo punched the wall in my office, leaving a dent." Calm down Leo. Your anger won't solve anything here." Susan, Leo's mate said softly hugging him.It was at that moment I wished I had the same thing with Tessa. I was jealous of my best friend's relationship with his mate.Maybe I should not have kissed her at all.She obviously liked it because she kissed me back so what the hell went wrong.The hate and disgust I saw in her eyes haunted me even now." Will you tell us what exactly happened between the two of you?" Susan asked, turning to look at me.I narrated what happened between Tessa and I and the look they both gave me confirmed that I was screwed." You really are stupid." Susan commented. Her words did not anger me. I felt stupid." I just wanted to see if she feels the same." I defended myself even when I knew that I was just making excuses for my behavior." Then what Alex? You made her angry instead. I won't allow you to hurt my sister. Forgive me buddy but my sister comes before our friendship." Leo muttered, looking straight into my eyes.I looked away, unable to meet his gaze. I understand him but who will understand me? I can't stay away from Tessa especially now that her scent is messing around my reasoning." I would never hurt Tessa, Leo." I said, counting my words.Why won't they see it? I love Tessa with all my being. I have been in love with her for seven fucking years.I have tried my best to stay away from her since she was young back then. I can't do that anymore." Maybe you people are overthinking things. I will talk to her. I will convince her to accompany me to the club later." Susan said, walking back to my mate's house.I was thankful for offering to talk to Tessa.After Susan left, I walked and sat on my chair, feeling guilty." Look Alex, I know you have good intentions towards Tessa but you got to learn how to take things slow." Leo said, taking a seat on the coach facing my working desk." I don't want to take things slow Leo. I just want to walk to her room and claim her as mine right this moment. I need her badly. I have given her seven years, I can't wait anymore." I confessed.I know I can trust Leo with anything even my feelings to his sister." I know that but she was hurt badly when she left. She will need time to accept your feelings for her; that is if she will even accept them " he replied making me groan." You are not helping here." I said, pulling by hair out of frustration.I always take what I want and I know playing the patience card this time will take alot from me.It's not like I have an option." So tell me, how was it?" Leo asked, his playfulness back within a split second." How was what?" I asked, even when I knew what he was asking about with that annoying smirk on his face." Oh come on, you know what I am talking about. How was it?" He pressed, mimicking a kissing couple which had me shake my head from his behaviour." You know for a brother, ain't you too Interested in your sister's Love life?" I mocked, rolling my eyes at him." Don't be a killjoy. Spill the beans. Is she experienced?" You could see his eyes lighting up with anticipation. He is such a gossipmonger." It was good. She tasted of lemonade and strawberries." I replied, looking away.I didn't want to delve deeper into the details." Just good?" Leo asked, wearing a dissapointed look on his face." I am not saying more you pervert." I scolded and leo burst out laughing.I laughed, happy that he was not angry with me anymore.Leo hates it when someone hurts his sister. He has always been protective of her and that's something I admire about him." I can't believe Susan took this opportunity to drag my sister to a club." Leo commented, shaking his head in disbelief." You have been strict with her. You Know Susan is a free soul and she loves her freedom." I replied." I don't restrict her. I am just cautious, she's pregnant, remember?" Leo shot back, glaring at me." If you say so." I replied, shrugging.I have realized that ever since my best friend and Beta found out that they were expecting, he has been restricting his mate from the things she likes.He forbid her from horse racing; that's reasonable but to have her stop going to clubs was not appropriate.The two met in a club and Susan never hid from Leo that she loves clubbing." I'll take a patrol and come back to get ready for another night of stress." Leo commented exiting my office making me chuckle.A drunk Susan is not something I would love to handle myself.I remember the ruckus she caused last time she got drunk.Having Leo fuck her in the car after threatening that she will pick any man to fuck with If he didn't satsify her.My friends and I were forced to shift and ran back to the pack.I finished my work in the office before dashing to my room to shower and get changed.I was excited to see Tessa again despite knowing there is a possibility she would not want to see me.It didn't matter if she was angry at me, I'll ask for her forgiveness tonight and hopefully we can make things straight between us.I got ready in minutes and dressed just as Leo parked his car infront of the house.I skipped downstairs before jumping in the front seat of the car." Someone is dressed to impress." Leo snickered and I smirked.Tessa POVThe door to my door was knocked." Leave me alone." I shouted.Why won't that scumbag leave me alone?I was angry at him but more than anything, I was angry at myself.I allowed him to kiss me and the worst part is I liked his kisses and I even kissed him back.Thinking about it makes my blood boil in anger." Tessa dear, it's me Susan." Susan's voice sounded from outside the door.I dragged my body from the floor, wiping my tears away before opening the door.I forced a smile on my face making Susan chuckle." Oh dear, wipe that off, it's too fake and ugly." She commented, making me chuckle.One thing about Leo's mate is that she's fucking honest and blatant, but I guess I like it that way.I hate pretentious bitches a lot." Ain't you one?" Sasha remarked and I said nothing; maybe she was right." Come in." I side stepped, allowing Susan to step into the room.I went to sit on the couch after she settled down." I guess you already have an inkling why I am here?" She asked
Alex's POV"What the hell!" I shouted as I couldn't control myself when I saw her kiss another man. Ryker was screaming in my mind wanting to be let out. He couldn't understand how our mate had let someone else kiss her, neither could I. After she and Susan got into Susan's car, Leo and I followed them. I wasn't worried because I knew we would be there to take care of them but what I had not banked on was Tessa getting all cozy with a stranger. He came smiling to her and she didn't even talk much to him. She smiled at him and they left to the washrooms and from the way she was smiling at him, I knew shit was about to go down. And I wasn't wrong. There she was. My Tessa was in another man's embrace and they were eating each other's mouths like there was no tomorrow.When they heard my scream, they stopped kissing and Tessa snaked her hands on his waist. The sight alone was enough to have my heart clench painfully and blood boil. It was like she couldn't care less about how I was
7. Tessa's POVWas I happy? No. Did it make me feel better? No. Did I enjoy it? Hell yeah! To be frank, I didn't like hurting Alex. But you have to understand me. For seven years, I have been trying to avoid him and now he thinks I will just smile at him and pretend that all was okay?Hell no. I even wonder why he isn't married yet. Hasn't he found his mate after all those years? How old is he? Twenty three? Twenty four. Yeah, twenty four. Shouldn't he have found a mate already? My brother is his age mate and is expecting his first child. Why hasn't Alex found his? Or didn't he like her and let her down how he did with me? Anyway, it has been two days since that night at the club. I just wanted to have a good time and me and good time means making out with a nice man or a cute girl. When that man came towards me and smiled at me, I knew that I had hit a jackpot that night. I was enjoying myself when I felt Alex bellow. I am not sure whether it was anger or jealousy or even h
8. Tessa's POVFinally, dad came through. My shop is ready and I went there and I don't even know what to say. It's so big and beautiful. Everything is as I specified in my plans and I am good now. I don't know how to explain this. Cosmetology and dermatology come naturally to me. When I see someone, I do not even need to test their skin type or the type of acne one has or anything like that. I can tell by just a look.I have been able to come up with my own formulas for some skin types and the pilot studies were superb.I have been selling them from home and those were some of the money I gave dad and he gave me a little to add to that and that's how I got the capital. Opening this shop will help me reach a bigger clientele and even if I were to get married to another girl, I will be able to provide for us and take care of her. Yes, that's me. Sometimes I wish that the goddess would mate me to a girl. I have a secretary called Monet and she is the cutest. I liked her the first
Alex's POVI am an alpha but I think I will be dead soon. Not due to old age or sickness or even abstract. No. The sole reason for my death will be Teresia Black.I love her. I want her. Ryker is demanding we tell her the truth but how do I get to her. She has made it very clear that she doesn't want me. She would rather have other people. Right now she is dating that human girl. She even kissed her before me. Every kiss felt like a laceration to my heart. Tessa is killing me. I am in my office in our pack working. Everyday, I have to deal with a myriad of things concerning the well being of the pack, attend meetings and all.Nowadays, since Tessa returned and doesn't want anything to do with me, I have put even more work on me. It is only when I am working that I don't seem to think about her. But any other time, she is occupying my mind. I wish I hadn't kissed her that first day she returned because that's what had been occupying me. The kiss was... what can I say? It was h
Alex's POVI can't believe it! She had a boyfriend and asked him to follow her here? In my park of all places! I want to break something. I wonder how Nate's bones will feel under my arms as I break them to pieces. "You okay mate?" Leo asked. He could tell that I was fuming. He knew me so well. "I want to kill someone. I want to..." I couldn't continue. I threw a fist on a nearby tree and it creaked as it formed a crack from where I had hit and the crack ran all the way up to where the branches started growing down to the place where the stem met with the earth. That's how angry I was. "I know mate. I know. Let's wait and see Tessa's explanation. But I agree with dad. You have to tell her. I have a feeling that she still loves you and she is doing all this to spite you and to show you that she has moved on but I don't think she has. Right now she thinks the worst about you. Tell her the truth and see what's going to happen. You have nothing to lose by telling her anyway... b
. Alex's POVThat night was the best and my relationship with Tessa Improved from there. She still hadn't believed me but for starters, she sent Nate home that following morning.She even told me that he was just her ex and he came with the hopes that they would get back together. Too bad for him because this seven foot gorgeous me happened and he isn't having her. She is mine. She even allowed me to take her for dinner and lunch on several occasions. No one in the pack knows why she hasn't felt our bond and we decided to wait. She will eventually feel it and I'm hoping it happens soon because Ryker keeps bugging me to mark her. I don't know whether the bonding will work without her feeling the link and I don't want to risk it. Today, I am supposed to take Tessa for dinner. Being with her soothes me and calms my soul. She is all I want. I love her. I call her around lunch time and she doesn't pick up. I wanted to check on her as we are doing nowadays every day and it isn't l
Alex's POVIt has been three days since Tessa went missing. Three f*ucking days! I haven't slept, haven't eaten and I'm irritable. I want to punch something. We have looked everywhere. I have all the wolves of my pack out there. Alphas, betas and omegas too.Everyone is out there helping us and still, no sign. Monet has the human police helping and they too, haven't come with anything. I have never felt so helpless before. I wish I had gone to work with her that day. In fact, I had offered as I kissed her goodbye as she drove off. But Tessa being Tessa wouldn't allow me. She was quick to remind me that we aren't dating and I shouldn't treat her like a baby. I wasn't angry though. I understood her perfectly. We are just warming up to each other and I had decided to give her time. My mom comes calling for breakfast and I feel like snapping at her. "I'm not hungry Ma. I'm good," I say, trying to dismiss her. "I know you are good baby. What I'm worried about is your physic
