POV: Selina

The drive back to my apartment was quiet. Jason had fallen asleep almost immediately after we settled him in the backseat, his head resting against the window, chest rising and falling in the steady rhythm of someone finally at peace after too much chaos. I sat beside him, one hand resting on his arm, watching the city blur past the glass.

Edmond drove, he didn’t say a word, neither did I. But every few minutes, his eyes would find mine in the rearview mirror, and something unbearab

  • The Alpha's Choice    I'm Outside

    POV: EdmondThe dinner was Gramps’ idea. A formal thing, announced with the air of someone bestowing a gift rather than issuing a command. A family dinner, he had said.“To present Alexia properly. To make things official.”I had sat across from him in his study and thought about eleven different ways to refuse and discarded all of them, because refusing meant a confrontation I wasn’t ready to have tonight.I was picking my battles with the strategic patience of a man who intended to win the war even if he conceded a few evenings.So I sat at the head of the table in my own dining room while Gramps occupied the other end like a king who had temporarily misplaced his throne.Alexia sat to my right in a dress that cost more than most people’s monthly rent, performing the role of radiant fiancée with the commitment of someone who had been rehearsing this specific scene her entire life.She touched my arm twice. The first time I looked at her hand and said nothing. The second time I moved

  • The Alpha's Choice    Jason Is Improving

    POV: SelinaI didn’t sleep well that night.I lay on my back staring at the ceiling with the restlessness of someone whose body was tired but whose mind had decided sleep was an optional activity, replaying the afternoon in the specific cruel way that memories do when they know they have you cornered.The way he had crouched beside me on the pavement without hesitation. The way he had reorganized the bags like he had been carrying my groceries his entire life.The way he had argued, completely sincerely, for nearly four minutes about why one shop’s tomatoes were categorically superior to another shop’s tomatoes, like this was important information, like this was a hill worth dying on.The way he had laughed when I told him he was being ridiculous.I hadn’t heard him laugh in weeks. I hadn’t realized how much I had been carrying the absence of that sound until it came back and something in me exhaled for the first time since everything fell apart.I turned onto my side and pressed my f

  • The Alpha's Choice    Let Him Fight For It

    POV; SelinaI knew his car.That was the first problem.We have been meeting secrets for so long that I knew the sound of the engine before it rounded the corner, knew the particular way it slowed on Creston Avenue without fully stopping.I knew the exact window of time in which I should not look up from my phone if I wanted to preserve any version of the dignity I was trying to maintain.I looked up every time, every single time, without fail, like my body had made an agreement with itself that had nothing to do with my better judgment.And every time I caught the tail end of his car moving away down the street, something in my chest did that thing, that specific painful thing, that I had stopped pretending was anything other than what it was.I missed him with a completeness that frightened me. Not the missing you feel for something gone.The missing you feel for something present and unreachable, something close enough to see and touch and completely forbidden, which was its own pa

  • The Alpha's Choice    I Want You

    POV: SelinaThe leather of the backseat was cool against my back as she settled her weight onto my lap. Her skirt had ridden up, I noticed this the way I notice weather, immediate and total, and the bare skin of her thighs pressed against the fabric of my trousers."Eddie," she breathed, and her voice had lost its composure, the careful architecture of it crumbling. "Someone could see.""The windows are tinted.""That's not..."I kissed her again before she could finish. Harder this time. Her mouth opened under mine and the sound she made, half relief, half hunger, travelled down my spine and settled low.Her fingers found their way into my hair, gripping, pulling just enough to register as pleasure with an edge. The car had grown warm, or we had, and the windows were beginning to fog in slow circles from the edges inward."I've been losing my mind," I said against her mouth. "Every day. Every single day without you.""Me too." The words came out fractured. "I thought it would get eas

  • The Alpha's Choice    Damn It!

    POV: Edmond"What did you tell him?""That things were moving forward." She opened her eyes and looked at me sideways, that look she had, the one that landed somewhere in the center of my chest."It wasn't a lie." I looked at her for a moment."No," I said."It wasn't a lie, and it’s not the truth either."“He’s not strong enough to handle the truth. If he knows we are no longer together, he may be forced to withdraw into his shell and slow down his recovery. I can’t bear it if his treatment fails again. I need him to recover faster so we can get back out inheritance,” she stated firmly.“He will be fine, Lina. I will not let anything stop his healing progress, I won’t ...”“Thats the problem, Eddie. He trust you so much and it’s going to break his heart when he finds out the truth. I can’t let him find out, that’s why I need you to stay away from us. If you keep coming here and your grandfather finds out about your secret visits, we’ll get in trouble again, and this time, Jason will

  • The Alpha's Choice    The Market

    POV: EdmondSaturday was supposed to be simple. I had a full morning of calls scheduled, a lunch with the board that had been rearranged three times and could not reasonably be rearranged a fourth, and an afternoon that belonged entirely to the stack of contracts sitting on my desk judging me quietly every time I walked past.I knew Selina went to the farmer's market on Saturdays.Not the large one downtown that everyone knew about. The smaller one on Whitfield Street, three blocks from her building, the one that set up between the old library and the dry cleaner with the faded yellow sign.She had mentioned it once, months ago, in a conversation that had no reason to stick in my memory as firmly as it had. She had said the tomatoes there were the only ones worth buying in this city, and she had said it with the particular conviction she reserved for things she considered non-negotiable.I had cancelled the lunch with the board by nine-thirty. I told Marcus it was a conflict. He had l

  • The Alpha's Choice    Hello, Tiger...

    POV: Selina“I will not stand here and banter words with you, and I’m certainly not letting you get your greedy, filthy hands on my precious necklace. This is all I have left, and I’d rather die than give it to you!” I told her sternly, glaring daggers at her.“Well, if death is what you seek, that

    POV: Edmond“I’m so sorry, Eddie. I messed up last night. I couldn’t get the surrogate to come. She suddenly changed her mind and called off the deal.”“What the fuck are you talking about? Who canceled what deal?Are you drunk, Chris? Is it not too early to be drunk?” I asked him, almost laughing

    POV: Selina"Don't worry, sweetheart. You were just a little tipsy last night. But trust me, we had fun, dear. So much fun," he said nonchalantly, his eyes wandering over my body hungrily.My heart pounded in my chest as I struggled to process his words.Fun? Was that what he called it? My mind ra
