Chapter 8: Worst Time

AXEL

Fuck… This is the worst mistake I’ve ever made. What the hell was I thinking agreeing to this damn date?

“You’re even more handsome than on television,” she giggled, blinking up at me like a child—like a fucking child.

I swirled the whiskey in my glass, staring at her without expression. She was dressed in a ridiculous pink gown, looking like some damn Disney princess.

Did that doctor set me up on a date… or send me here to entertain a child?

“I can’t believe I’m actually seeing one of the triplet Alphas in real life,” she added, burying her face in her palms, practically vibrating with excitement.

“Hmmm… Axel, she disgusts me. I don’t like her. Send her away,” Khaine, my wolf, growled in irritation. “Lets go home instead. The doctor is alone… we could seduce her.”

I ignored him, taking a slow sip of my wine as his words lingered in my mind. Everyone else was out on their dates, and Alessia had made it clear—we were to stay at least an hour before heading back.

But I didn’t give a damn about time.

I could leave right now… Go back and have her all to myself.

“Alpha Axel… or can I call you AA? Like an abbreviation?” she asked softly, clasping her hands together in a silent plea.

My brow furrowed in irritation.

I hated women like this—overly sweet, overly eager. I preferred something real. Fierce. A woman who could hold my gaze without flinching… not some naive she-wolf playing cute.

“Damn it, you cold bastard. What the hell are you still doing here?” Khaine snarled, his voice rising with fury. “Get rid of her and go home.”

He pushed, trying to take control.

I shoved him back just as hard. I was in charge—not him.

“AA?” she called again, raising a brow slightly, searching my face for approval.

Fucking no, I'm not okay with that. But one thing I'm curious about is whether she's really as naive as she acts. A cruel smile tugged at my face as a dirty thought crept in.

I leaned forward, resting my elbow on the round table. "How old are you?"

"25 years," she blurted out.

I nodded. Not a child. She looks her age, but her attitude is that of a pampered kid.

"From what pack?"

"Moonlight pack," she grinned.

Hmmm, Moonlight pack. Not bad; at least their old Alpha knows how to keep himself out of trouble. Not that bastard Alpha of the Shadowmoon pack. He fucking asked a guard to follow us; he wanted to get a scandal from us and use it against us.

Pathetic. He doesn't know no scandal can ever keep us low. We have fucking grown beyond that. Withdrawing my investments was just a tip of the wrath he would face soon.

"So what's your name?" I asked, leaning back as I picked up my glass and sipped my wine again.

"Mirabel, I'm an omega," she said, excited.

I nodded slowly; hmmm, more like it.

"Have you had sex before… like a foursome?"

She jerked as she swallowed hard, staring around as if someone could hear.

I scoffed, not like there's someone here. I had purposely booked a private place to avoid eyes and unnecessary pictures being taken.

She bit her lower lip shyly, tugging a strand of her hair to her right ear before giving a slow nod, avoiding my eyes. "I have had sex before... but... I won't mind having a foursome."

Boring. I like taking something by force because I love being fucking challenged.

She just killed the fun. I wanted to make her feel uncomfortable and end this damn date, and she just accepted to have a foursome? An omega? She won't fucking survive if she eventually gets such an offer, which can never be fucking possible.

"Told you, hahaha… I don't like her. Now get home," Khaine mocked. I sighed and stood to my feet. I'm honestly exhausted from all this; I just need to see Alessia. That face she makes when she's frustrated is priceless and incredibly calming.

I hate the fact that she's married, and speaking of her husband, I will make him pay for laying a hand on her.

"AA, what's wrong? Are we going already?" she said, standing to her feet.

I pressed my forehead, trying not to react to how disgusting that "fucking AA" sounded.

I pulled out a few dollars from my wallet and placed them on the table. "Get yourself a cab and get back home; the date is over," I said, dropping the money and making my way out.

"I'm sorry, Alpha Axel. Did I say something wrong?" she called from behind.

She didn't say anything wrong, but she's totally not my type. No one is, except that sexy doctor.

"More like it, Axel. Now let's head home to meet the doctor; I'm dying to meet her," Khaine growled.

"Quiet, you fucking beast! It's up to me, not you," I snapped.

He let out another round of laughter. "Yeah, it's up to you; just get going!"

I sighed, walked to my car, and drove off. Time to meet the doctor.
