Chapter 5

MAGDALENE’S POV

“Fuck you, August!! Fuck you!!!!!

Tears cascaded down my face as I walked towards the main entry gate I happily entered earlier, but now in tears.

My sadness wasn’t mainly because of what August did, but doing that publicly and successfully made me an eye-shore when I hadn’t even started my school life.

“Fuck, Fuck!!!” I yelled this time to whoever was ready to hear me rant. All eyes are on me now, everyone wants to see the omega Gamma August rejected publicly!

Flagging a cab down when I got out of the gate, I headed back home to have my sanity reset, sleep, and of course binge N*****x again, or else I don’t know if I could ever survive the humiliation and the pain still burning my chest.

“Miss?” The driver asked in a low, creepy voice halfway. “Sorry to bother you, but are you the Alpha’s daughter? I heard he only had sons and….”

I heaved a sigh. How do I tell him I was his stepdaughter and his son’s mate? I haven’t taken many cabs here….

“I..I’m just going to see one of the Gammas. They’re my classmate” I forced a smile.

He nodded too, but I knew that was the answer he wanted based on the kind of face I wore and the tone. But I don’t have any energy to care.

••••••

I thought being in the bath would help, but lord help me, it only got worse. My heart palpitations wasn’t like the ones I get when I was crushing on my stepbrothers in secret. This one was painful in a way that kept setting my whole body on fire.

‘Why did you roam around Marg!!’ I tried blaming myself, perhaps it would help, but no.

I gave up after some splash and dives under the two to sleep, but June came in just as I set my dreamy night lamp and closed all windows.

“Hey, you fine?” He was unclad, his cool brown skin looking kinda alluring under the purple lamp I lit, but no. ‘Get your head together, Marg.’

“Yes, I’m fine,” I smiled hurriedly, then gestured to his body. “Why are you not wearing anything, and why did you rush in like that….?”

June was flustered for the first time since I knew him, which was so surprising. “June, are you fine?”

“I…” He stopped, looked down like he was scared to say whatever the matter was. “I mean.. mean it’s nothing. I was in the gym when I heard you came back.”

I wanted to ask more questions like why he reacted that way, but I didn’t. “Thanks. I’m fine, and I just came back from the university, my admission was approved, and…”

“Lene, can I kiss you?” June interrupted in the most shocking tone ever, the heaving and gasping in between obvious now. I opened my mouth to say something now that the heart palpitations are getting more insane, but I couldn’t.

I wanted to tell him not now, but something in me called me impartial. I gagged on July’s cock. Kissed April like I was mad, and now wanted to reject June?

“I’m sorry,” He apologized quickly, then turned as if to leave. I almost thought he was leaving for real, but he stopped at the door again. “I’m sorry I have to do this.”

“W…Wha…” His kiss sealed the rest of the words. June’s kissing was the fucking best I ever had!

‘This is so good!’ I admitted in my mind, snapping out of the shocked mode to take his lips in and let him kiss me as much as he wanted, then stopped just when I was about to get more intense with it.

“June, what….”

No response, he left the room immediately like a flash, and the next I knew was that I was on my bed, replaying the movement since yesterday that mum was away.

First it was July, April, and now June…?

‘Marg things are getting more insane, you should stop!’

But heavens knew I don’t want to stop. Pulling the duvet over myself, I imagined what just happened again. June kissed me? The obnoxious, jerky June Ernesto kissed me!!!

°°°°°

“Hey, are you courting death?”

“Stop pushing me, you motherfucker! Why will you accept the mate bond? Have you forgotten what Dad said?”

“August, stop provoking me!” The sound of that was easy to identify as I tried not to sleep. April!

Grunting madly, I got off the bed, blasted a long yawn, and left the room only to meet the four in the living room, August and April at each other’s necks.

“April!” I rushed to him first, to pull him away while August was still cold at me. “Stop fighting with your brother!”

April actually listened, his once hardened gaze softened at the sight of me. “I didn’t know you were awake.” He tried holding me, but August snapped my hand away from him.

“Get those hands off my brother!” August sounded more defensive than I was expecting.

June and July were astonished, April wasn’t going to keep quiet either. He grabbed my hand before it would fall back. “Who are you to decide anything! Keep your hatred to yourself and crawl back to hiding.”

I felt guilty for being the reason why they were fighting. The time reads 7:30, which means it’s time for dinner, hence the reason for the accurate attendance. But how do they know August rejected me?

“August, you don’t have to show it,” I find myself speaking up through the doubts. “You hate me, and that’s why you rejected me, so please don’t hate your brothers because of me.”

“Shut your mouth, you know nothing, you’re just a slut like your mother who came to steal dad’s money!” His banger dropped more heavily than I thought.

The room automatically fell into a temporary silence until June and July got up, mouths opened wide with shock. “April, what did you just say?”

My head suddenly rewired with what I couldn’t interpret to be electricity. Even though his eyes had turned pitiful, like he doesn’t mean to say this, I don’t want to hear it anymore now.

Something pushed me before I could stop myself. I raised my hand and landed him a heavy slap. “My mother was never a slut!”
