Paxton's POV

I wait until the last bell rings and the campus empties out before I finally move. My body aches from this morning's beating, but the bruises are already fading faster than they should. I need to be careful about that – can't let anyone notice how quickly I heal.

The sun is setting as I walk through the streets, my hands shoved deep in my jacket pockets. Everything Gabriel said keeps replaying in my head like a broken record. His words about Mom, about us being nothing to each other, about never accepting me even as a slave. The hatred in his voice when he said it.

Maybe he's right. Maybe we are nothing to each other.

By the time I reach downtown, it's completely dark. The neon signs of bars and clubs cast colorful shadows on the wet pavement. I stop in front of a dive bar called Murphy's – the kind of place where nobody asks questions and the drinks are strong enough to make you forget your problems.

The smell of stale beer and cigarettes hits me as I push through the d

  • Two hot Alphas bet on the biker-widow mate   chapter 80

    Paxton's POV I stood in the hall, leaning against the wall since I had nothing better to do. Students walked past me in groups, laughing, gossiping, and complaining. I only watched them without saying anything, and besides, I wasn’t really looking at them. My mind was somewhere else. My ice kept drifting from one place and back to the place again. I just know she’s here somewhere, but I can’t make a move. It’s because she’s with Tiana. She seems to be avoiding me all the time, and I don’t want to scare her because of my impatience. I don’t know why I care so much about what she thinks about me now, when I didn’t use it before.One of my guys stepped beside me.“Boss,” he said quietly, “do we have someone who will watch him today? You’re acting like we’re tracking someone.”I shot him a look, one eyebrow raised.“No, but I can stay here even if I’m not looking for someone. Or do you just assume that I stand in the hallway because I’m waiting for someone?”I was trying my best to sou

    Carlota’s POVI pushed the door open with shaking hands. My breath came out in short gasps, and my legs were still weak from the transformation. I shut the door behind me quickly, leaning on it like the world was pressing on my back.Please don’t let anyone see me like this. My clothes were torn at the sleeves and the sides. My skin still felt warm, almost burning. I was trying to steady myself, telling myself to calm down, when I heard fast footsteps coming toward my room.The door burst open before I could even reach the bed.“Carlota!” My mother’s voice was sharp with worry. She rushed inside with her hair still tied up loosely from sleep. “Are you okay? You just came back from work… Why are you breathing like this?”I immediately grabbed my bedsheet and wrapped it around myself, pulling it up to my chin. I hid all the torn pieces of my clothes under it.“I’m… I’m fine, Mom.” My voice sounded low and shaky She stepped closer, her eyes scanning me like she was searching for somet

    Carlota’s POVI was packing my bags after class is ready to go home when Gabriel calls for me at first I thought I was hearing things and I wanted to ignore him I wanted him to listen to the advice Tiana gave him earlier I wish he would just leave me alone and not put me in the spotlight Tiana is always after my life because of him and he's so selfish refusing to let me go. “Carlota?” he called me again, this time when I finally heard him. I blinked and pointed at myself, raising a single finger. “Me?” I asked, confirming.“Yes,” he said. “You’ve forgotten something, haven’t you?”I frowned, gripping my bag a little tighter. “Forgotten what?” I asked, my voice steady, trying to keep my tone light.“That you’re my girlfriend,” he whispered. I quickly looked around us and saw that some students heard what he said. Why can't he just shut his mouth whenever he's talking? Does he have to say everything in front of everyone? I don't know if he's trying to embarrass me or if he's just try

    Paxton’s POVI was still fuming when I walked into the school this morning. My blood felt like fire running through my veins. Every time I thought about Gabriel and what he did, my jaw clenched tighter.The nerve of him. That bastard had the audacity to step in front of everyone and claim Carlota. He flaunted her in front of the whole school when it was pretty much obvious that they were a thing. And I had made it clear, hadn’t I? The first day she arrived, I’d made it clear that we were together. He definitely targeted her because of me. I need to look for her. I want to talk to her about this. Did she agree to this on her own or is he forcing her?She has been doing everything to avoid me just to be with Gabriel. I can't accept this at all. I'm not going to take her doing this to me. I stormed down the hall, my hands balled into fists. I was looking for her and I finally found her. She was on her way to class and she indeed saw me coming towards her but she ignored me because she

    Tiana’s POVI arrived at the rendezvous point under the scorching hot sun. My footsteps echoed against the pavement as I walked, but the place was empty. I had expected some of my girls to be there, waiting with the information I had asked them to collect.But no one was there.“Where are they?” I muttered under my breath. “I thought we agreed to meet here. Are they really messing with me right now?”Then a shadowy figure arrived from the darker. My hand instinctively went to the papers I was holding. I almost jumped because I didn't know what the hell I was looking at here. “Looking for someone?” the figure asked, voice low and calm.I took a step back. “Who are you?” I demanded, my voice louder than I wanted. “Where are my people? Where are my girls?”The figure stepped closer, tall and lean, face hidden by the shadows. “You’re holding the wrong information.”My eyes narrowed. “What do you mean?” I asked, taking another step back. “Do you even know what I’m looking for?”The figur

    Carlota’s POVThe school was buzzing like a hornet’s nest. Everyone seemed to be talking about the police chase from the weekend. I could hear bits of it as I walked down the hallway, my bag heavy on my shoulder.“…and the police almost got the mysterious rider!” one guy whispered to his friend.“…yeah, but did you see Paxton? He saved her!” another added.I kept my head down, trying to blend in, trying not to look like I was listening. I was still thinking about the events of the weekend. I couldn’t believe how close I had been to being caught.If the drone hadn’t been interfered with, if Paxton hadn’t shown up, everything would have been over. My identity would have been exposed in front of the whole city.I shook my head slightly. No. I couldn’t think about that now. I don't know how I'll be able to handle something like that so easily. I walked faster, pushing my thoughts aside, when suddenly I crashed into someone. I almost lost my balance but I tried to hold myself back and so
