All Chapters of DEVEREUX'S SHARED OBSESSION : Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

CALEB'S POVAs if not hearing from Lysander wasn't enough, Evander also blurted out something.“Yes,” Evander echoed instantly after Lysander, his jaw clenching so hard I thought it might shatter. “Caleb, your life is ours to dictate.”The moment the words left his mouth, a dead, echoing silence descended on the cafeteria.Evander’s eyes widened slightly. He immediately realized what he’d just said just like Lysander, and a sudden, panicked flush crept up his neck.He cleared his throat violently, shifting his weight. “I....what I meant was… you are under our jurisdiction. As Alphas of this academy, we dictate everyone’s lives.”Beside him, Lysander looked like he had just swallowed a live grenade.Kale let out a sharp, mocking laugh that cut right through the tension.He threw his head back with a smirk that practically dripped with pure, unadulterated amusement. “Oh, is that right? Your life to dictate? Wow, sounds like quite the toxic arrangement, boys. Are you sure you’re running

CALEB'S POVMy chest heaved against the heavy oak of the door, the air thick with the suffocating weight of his presence."Let me go, you lunatic!" I hissed, twisting violently against his iron grip. "I’m not your pet, and I sure as hell am not going to wait on my knees for anything!""Ah, the little bird has claws," Augustus mocked, his deep voice rich with dark amusement. He didn't budge an inch, pressing his solid, burning frame harder against my back until every curve of his chest molded to mine. "Keep fighting me, Caleb. It only makes the inevitable taste so much sweeter."Augustus just continued to chuckle, a dark, low rumble one... He didn't loosen his grip by a fraction. If anything, he pressed harder, flush against my back, letting me feel every hard edge of his muscular frame."You think you have a choice?" Augustus murmured, his voice dripping with arrogance as he spun me around, slamming my back against the wall instead. "You think that sharp little tongue of yours saves y

LYSANDER'S POVThe amber liquid in my crystal shot glass swirled, a tiny hurricane trapped in glass, but it did nothing to soothe the jagged edges of my temper.Across the sprawling mahogany glass coffee table of the Devereux Estate’s main sitting room, Evander looked just as foul-tempered, his jaw clenched tight enough to fracture bone."Fuck! This isn't working!" Evander hissed.We were drowning our irritation in a decade old bourbon, though the burn of the alcohol wasn't nearly enough to wash away the poison of our current predicament.My gaze drifted toward the empty fireplace, but my mind was projecting a far more infuriating image... Caleb, walking away, leaning in close, his broad shoulders shielding Kale from the rest of the room. Kale... that fucking bastard, the supposedly elusive beta boyfriend who had crawled out of the woodwork to wrap himself around Caleb like a second skin.A low, guttural growl vibrated in the back of my throat. I couldn't even map out a clean trajecto

CALEB'S POVI hissed between the two, my fists clenching so hard my nails bit into my palms. "What the hell is the meaning of this?"Evander and Lysander exchanged a slow, knowing look... that sick, synchronized smirk that made me want to claw their eyes out.Then, both of them stepped toward me in unison, moving with the heavy, unhurried grace of predators cornering a wounded animal in a thicket."Isn't it obvious?" Evander said, his voice dropping into a rich, mocking purr as he closed the distance. "We want you alone... no bystanders,no onlookers and definitely no presence of that Beta, Kale. Just us."A jolt of pure ice shot down my spine, but I forced my chin up, hiding the sudden panic clawing at my throat. I couldn't let them smell my fear. Not these two."You Devereuxs really do have some pathetic genetic defect when it comes to cornering people," I snapped, forcing a layer of acid-laced sarcasm into my voice. "Is that just built right into your DNA?"Lysander growled.... a lo

CALEB'S POVThe shock of Evander’s lips crashing against mine sent a violent, sparking jolt straight down my spine, bypassing every shred of common sense I possessed and short-circuiting my brain entirely.No!!!! My mind screamed the word, a frantic, desperate echo of my fading pride, but my traitorous body flat-out refused to cooperate.Instead of shoving him away... which I easily could have done five minutes ago, back when my limbs weren't turning to warm, trembling liquid, my fingers curled tighter into the fabric of his jacket.I clutched him like a drowning man, my mouth parting under the punishing, demanding pressure of his kiss. He tasted like expensive scotch, winter air, and absolute, terrifying ruin."Mmm..." A pathetic, mewling sound slipped past my lips, completely of its own accord, swallowed whole by Evander as his tongue swept aggressively into my mouth.Behind me, Lysander let out a dark, approving growl that vibrated straight through the solid oak of Professor Regan’
