Adrian’s POV“Alex?” I jolted up my feet and called him. He froze. I gulped and turned to Alicia, who was almost at the brim of tears. My head felt hot seeing her like that. Why are they ficking inconsiderate?“Adrian, I want to rest in my room. I’ve lost my appetite.” He was about to leave when Arnold stepped in front of him. “C’mon man. She’s going to cry.”“Let her cry. It’s common for women to be emotional.” Alex growled through gritted teeth. Alicia gasped and Arnold’s jaw dropped. “So because it’s common for women to cry, we should hurt our mate and make her cry?”Alex turned and saw tears streaming down Alicia’s cheeks. “I’m–” He sighed and walked off, shoving Arnold out of his way.“What is wrong with him?” I asked Arnold. He shrugged and walked up to Alicia. “Forget that jerk, you have us. You look great in this dress, by the way.” Arnold said out loud. Alex, who was halfway up the stairs, paused.He turned immediately to see Arnold wiping off Alicia’s tears. He raced back
Alicia’s POV“Hey, did y’all see a ghost?” I asked as I walked inside. I went upstairs to carry the dishes, but then a sick idea cloaked my mind.I had ordered a cosplay maid uniform a year ago, but when it got here, I was disappointed that it was too revealing. I don’t know why I had the urge to wear it tonight, but I went ahead with it anyway. It had become more exposing, though. It was shorter, only just passed my butt a little.It had a pinafore with no shirt underneath. The cleavage was a low, thin strapped hand that went over my shoulder, but the front was barely covering the sides of my boobs. I Held the hem of my dress down as I got down the stairs.The heat of their gaze was so much I had my head down, my cheeks flushed. “What are you wearing?” Alex growled as soon as I entered.“A dress?” I replied as I licked my bottom lip. Adrian had frozen with a spoon in his hand as he gawked at me. “Woah. How do I keep away from her now?” Arnold whistled as he came up to me. Alex pla
Adrian’s POV“Ouch,” I sucked in air through my teeth as I yanked my hand away from the potatoes. The knife clattering against the marbled floor as it crashed down.“Adrain, let me see.” Alicia cringed as she pulled my hand. “See how much you’re bleeding, you shouldn’t have listened to me and kept talking.”I looked away from my bleeding finger and I noticed tears rolling down Alicia’s cheeks. Damn. My heart throbbed within as I watched her cute lips womble.Was she crying because I was hurt? This ought to be a good sign. Alicia cared about me too. At that moment all the pain from the cut had disappeared and all I could notice was my racing heart and how she was busy worried about me.“Eishh, it won’t stop bleeding,” she groaned, as she pulled me to the sink and ran water over it. “Does it hurt a lot?” She asked.I bit my bottom lip and nodded. “It hurts badly.” I lied.“Oh shit,” she took my finger and blew at it. The cold air almost made me close my eyes, but I didn’t want her to t
Alicia’s POV“Arnold?” I called as I hurried after him. He wiped the blood off his lips with the back of his hand. “Arnold, please wait.”“Go meet him.” he growled. He was almost at his door. I sprinted across and went in front of him. “Go away,” he groaned as he stopped. “Why? I don’t want to.” I took his hand. He blinked, looking both ways impatiently. “Just leave me alone,” his voice dripped with pain. His eyes casted down at my hand. He pulled it up to his lips and he kissed it, softly.“You need me,” I stated. His eyes met mine and softened. “I need you too, we can’t be apart.” “Alex wants you for himself.” He kissed the back of my hand again, took the other and played with it as he locked eyes with me. I could see a vulnerable guy, who yearned for love. His mother had died so early too, maybe he needed more love and affection than the others. That must be why he seeked solace in the arms of so many women. I could see a void in his eyes that cried to be filled.“Arnold–”He
Alex’s POVMy heart ached as I glared at Arnold kissing Alicia. What does he think of himself? That he could go around town with other girls and then take advantage of my state to mess with her.I tried to push myself off the bed. Arnold and Alicia had sprang apart, Alicia was both surprised that I was awake and embarrassed I caught them about to kiss. “Bro, you are awake. The injection did wonders then,” He cheered as he came to touch me.I grabbed his arm and stopped him from touching me. “What medicine? My wolf healed me. It took some time because he was weak too, but he did it and that is why I am up now.”Arnold shared glances with Adrian and then he nodded. “That’s great too. All that mattered was that you were awake.” I scoffed as I shoved his arm back to him. “Really? Or you were hoping I stay unconscious even more so you can get under my girl’s skirt,” I growled at him.“Your girl?” he asked and then he turned to Alicia and his face went blank. “Our girl you mean?” My head
Alicia's POV“Arnold!” I yelled as I raced out of the room. “Adrian! It's Alex!!” Tears gushed out of my eyes.My heart throbbing as I hurried down the stairs. Where were they?Kitchen. Yes.“Guys, Alex is convulsing!!” I screamed as I ran towards the kitchen.“Alicia?” Adrian raced out of the kitchen to me, he grabbed my arms. “What's the matter?”I painted pointing up the stairs, “Alex is having a seizure.”His eyes went wide in shock. Arnold seemed to have heard me. He raced out of the kitchen and was sprinting up the stairs the next minute.“Stay with her, I'll take care of Alex,” Arnold told Adrian. He was still hurt on his leg and he couldn't walk anyways.“Damn it. How did it start?” Adrian asked, he ran his hand over his hair as he stared at me.“He was saying something– I think, Briana, I'm sorry I couldn't save you.”“Shit. That was his late ex-girlfriend.”“Oh.” My lips circled. “That must be why he is so protective of me.”Adrian didn't reply.I gulped and looked up the st
