Semua Bab The Alpha’s forbidden Flame: Bab 31 - Bab 40

LENA'S POVI stared at Jade, still shocked she was standing in front of Casey’s door like she belonged there. She didn’t move, her blazing gaze still locked on me like i was the one that didn't belong. She just kept chewing that gum like she was trying to annoy me on purpose.“Well?” she asked, still smirking. “You lost or something.”I scoffed, folding my hands under my breasts. The only person lost here was her. “Let me save you the stress, I think you got the wrong house, check your app or something or call your clients to come pick you up, stop knocking on other people's door, you shouldn't spoil other people reputation.”“I’m looking for Casey,” I said flatly, trying to keep my voice calm.Her smirk grew wider. “Oh, Casey, right. What makes you think you can see him?”“That's none of your business, just move out of the way,” I snapped. “Make me,” she said, folding her hands under her breasts, ready to fight me.I rolled my eyes in disbelief. She must be crazy to think she can

ARLO’S POVI didn’t know why I was driving back to vixen, perhaps I couldn't get my mind off the stripper, not because she was beautiful but because her last words were glued to my head. Although I told myself it was stupid. I should be hunting Tobren, training, doing anything but chasing some stripper was out of the equation and all this was because of another stripper…. Lena. I found out about the stripper from briar, he told me everything about her, I mean everything, things I wouldn't need in a hundred years to come. And it was also a prove that Briar technically knows all the strippers in the state. Her name was Sofia, she wasn’t like the others, she didn’t just spread her legs and moan like the world owed her something. She was someone that understands her clients more than they paid for…Briar words not mine. Those services were just tactics to boost her the rate of her services. The lights of the city blurred past me as I drove around the city, finally I pulled up to the s

LENA’S POVThe smell of fried eggs mixed with something sweet and buttery was so strong that my stomach and nose couldn't ignore. I woke up, blinking at the ceiling for a few seconds, feeling like my body had been molded to the shape of the mattress. My stomach growling. I was so mad at Casey that I didn't eat last night. “You aren’t even worth a penny,” Casey's words kept replaying in my mind. I sat up slowly, feeling the cold air nip at my bare arms. I pulled my robe around me tighter, tied it with a trembling hand, and headed toward the kitchen barefooted. Ivy was already up as always, sometimes I wonder if she was a robot or something, she was dancing to the music playing from her phone, her red curls looped up into a messy bun, a spatula in one hand, flipping pancakes with the kind of ease. She was a perfect person, she had beauty and style and she was a good cook unlike me who has a fucked up life with a lot of money that I don't know what to do with it. “You’re up,” she s

LENA’S POVThe next morning, Ivy was rushing like someone was after her life. She moved around the room with jerky, impatient moves, tossing her clothes into her duffel like each piece had done something to piss her off. I sat on the edge of her bed, my fingers laced, staring at the same frayed thread on my jeans.“You don’t have to fake it,” she said finally, her back to me. “Lena,” she turned to me. “I really want to stay with you, so stop faking it.”Really? She wants to stay with me but she has her stuff all packed up. “Fake what?” “This,” she pointed to me. “Acting like you’re fine, like your world didn’t just fall apart.”Ouch, thanks for reminding me.“I am fine,” I said, forcing my voice to be steady.She scoffed and threw a sweatshirt into the bag harder than she needed to. “You’re lying, I saw you crying in the night, now you want to pretend like it’s nothing? “I’m not pretending,” I said. “Lena,Don’t pull that 'I’m fine' bullshit on me. I know you better than you kno

ARLO’S POVThe place I took Lena to wasn’t fancy, just a cozy dive bar with Chinese lanterns and wood tables scratched up, but it was an expensive place, like damn expensive, some call it the celebrities lounge but I call the humans trash dump, it was just another annoying place where only humans gather to flaunt their wealth. It smelled like old beer and something fried in oil that hadn’t been changed in a week but she didn’t seem to care.I ordered her favorite dumplings and sweet and sour chicken and told the bartender to keep her drinks light but Lena seemed to have her own plans. She started ordering different kinds of drinks and was drinking like it was water.First she ordered a cocktail and it disappeared in five minutes, then she ordered shots, the first, second, third. I reached across the table to stop her but she backed away.“Lena,” I said, quiet but firm. “You don’t need to drink like this.”She laughed, slapping the table and waving me off. “Don’t tell me what I need
