Yesterday was one month of my little one and being a mom and it was a little hectic so apologies for the late update! Here is an extra long chapter of Alpha 3 for y'all hehe let me know what you guys think~ Have a good weekend x
If there was one place I thought I could escape the swirling mess of emotions called my life, it was gym class. But of course, fate had other plans. And by fate, I mean Gavin Wilder in tight gym clothes. There he was, effortlessly stretching by the far wall, all taut muscle and golden skin under the Academy’s tight dark blue athletic shirt that may as well have been painted on. And just to top it off, he had the audacity to look completely unbothered while doing it. I stood awkwardly by the wall, pretending to adjust the strap of my sports bra while I forced myself not to stare. Not at the muscles. Not at the clean sweep of his jaw. Not at the single curl of dark hair falling over his forehead. This was fine. I could do this. It was just gym class. I wasn’t going to spontaneously combust because my mate was casually looking like a Greek god in breathable fabric. Unlike me who was trying my darndest not to drool at Gavin, the other students did the opposite. They stared l
More students began to gather around us, obviously intrigued by what was going on, or what was about to happen. I could tell that for the first time ever, Eva, the Academy’s notorious queen bee, was about to be put in her place. “E– excuse me? What did you just say to me? You know, just because you’re hot or whatever, does not mean you can order me around. I mean, who the hell are you, anyway?” Eva scoffed as she straightened her back and lifted her chin, trying to not look like she was actually terrified. Her minions at the back were also visibly shaken and honestly? I may or may not be enjoying this. Harley proudly scoffed, not a single sign that he was intimidated. “You don’t need to know who I am. What you need is to learn some manners or else–” “Or else what? What are you going to do, nobody? Do you know who my father is?!” Eva was furious as she stomped her feet on the ground and threw daggers at Harley through her eyes. I noticed Harley was about to move, but Luca quick
I woke up in my bed. I know it’s mine because of the familiar feel of the sheets I got for a bargain – four dollars for two, and although worn out, they fit the dormitory bed and didn’t smell like it went through years of constant frat parties. The sunlight was cutting through my thin blinds and for a moment, just a very fleeting one, I let myself believe that everything had just been a dream. There was no cabin, no confrontation, and certainly no bond that was snapping tight around three Alphas and their annoyingly good looks. I rolled onto my side and had come face to face with the boring white paint of the ceiling, but no matter how hard I tried to force myself to forget or to not let it get in my head… It was useless, and the ache in my chest just kept getting worse. This wasn’t from pain. Not really. It was this quiet… stretched feeling of something… something real and it was fraying at the edges, gnawing at the corners. Everything happened. Everything is happenin
They continued to hover around me. My eyes were closed, but I could feel all of them staring, wondering, worrying, and possibly still trying not to lunge at one another. And then a few minutes passed and it seemed they thought I had fallen asleep. I kind of almost did, except a part of me remained awake long enough to hear the creak of the wooden floor, or the subtle scrape of a chair being pulled, then the sound of simultaneous deep sighs nearby. And then… “I didn’t expect this…” Luca said quietly. “None of us did, I presume.” Gavin murmured. There was silence for a bit and then I heard Harley speak. “This bond, this whole thing, is all too new for her, for us. It’s pulling too hard and if it’s affecting us, it’s affecting her even more. I believe that’s why she’s like this… drained, tired, whatever else.” “And how the hell would you know that?” Gavin asked, clearly still ready to fight, but I could sense the curiosity and suspicion in his voice. There was a sligh
I hadn’t expected this, but then again, I hadn’t expected having three mates either, so there’s that. The door slammed open with so much force that it rattled the windows and even some loose items. The noise echoed in every corner of the wooden cabin. I flinched slightly. Harley didn’t move a single muscle. At least, not until he immediately rushed towards me, placing his body between me and where the sound came from like it was instinct for him, no second thoughts whatsoever. And I hate to admit it, but just that one single gesture was enough to have my stomach twisted in knots. Luca and Gavin stood in the doorway, dressed exactly as they would look if they were coming from a party. I didn’t need to second guess that it was how they found out I was with another man. Great, I wonder what stories the entire student body is going to be spreading tomorrow? Gee, I can’t wait to find out. Well, if I get out of this with my sanity still intact. The two of them still have the
I… I don’t understand. How is he here? Right now? Right next to me? Does he know who I am? If so, why did he do that? Why did he… save me? All of these questions are going round and round in my head and I try my best to stay calm so he doesn’t sense that something is off, but I can’t hold it, and he notices instantly that my body has stiffened and my breathing has sped up. “Are you alright? Are you in pain?” He spoke up, and my heart breaks even more as images of him standing there as my parents were killed flood my head. I don’t understand. Why… why… why… Wait, do I even want to understand or know why? “Alessandra, please, talk to me. You’re scaring me.” I’m scaring him? How is that even possible? “We’re almost at the cabin. Just hold on, okay?” He gently brushed his arm on my knee and it felt as if electricity traveled throughout my veins. What the hell was that? Oh my Goddess, I don’t know what’s going on anymore. I just want this all to stop, but how? What should I
