ALEXANDER
“How is it coming along? Did they contact us yet?” I ask Levi and take my seat on my executive chair.
He plops on the visitor’s chair on the other side of the desk, shaking his head. “I thought they would contact us soon. But redheads are rare, so I guess it will take them some more time. Why did you ask for a redhead, though?”
“If I had demanded a common girl, Cleodore would have suspected something. “I shrug, leaning back in the chair.
“Anyway, Nina is taking care of the girls. They are much better now.” He informs, mirroring my relaxed pose.
“What about the pack security?” I inquire, my eyes narrowing on him.
“Someone did betray us, Alpha. You and I both know no one would have gotten in if someone was not helping those assholes. Someone knew we all went to the border, they knew Ayla went to school, and they also knew what grade she was in. That’s only possible if it’s someone from close.” He sighs, running his fingers through his hair.
“Who do you suspect?” I tapped the armrest with my forefinger.
“Let me dig deeper into this issue. I will tell you after, I am sure.” Levi frowns, looking down at his hands.
“You do have a person in mind. “I conclude and nod to myself.
“Give me some time.” He releases an exaggerated breath.
“You get a week, Levi. After that, you have to provide me with information about your suspect. I need to crush him or her to keep my daughter and pack safe.” I tell him before closing my eyes.
“I will tell you sooner than a week. “He grumbles.
Silence falls in the office. The noises from afar travel inside through the open window in the corner.
“Look how cute Sunshine looks in that Bandana!” Daphne is screeching in her shrill voice.
“My Baby is always cute. “Layla coos.
She sounds so different. Last night, when I kissed her, she glared at me and then humphed, saying I was overstepping the line in front of Layla. However, my Princess didn’t seem to notice or mind that I was tasting the ice cream in her Mommy’s mouth.
After that, this woman gave me the silent treatment. But that was not enough to stop me from snuggling into her plushy boobs and sleeping with my head between them.
That’s fucking heaven.
Now I know. I sleep, not because I am exhausted, but because of her. When my face is pressed into those perfect boobs, I find a rare emotion developing inside me; Peace. That peace helps me forget the pain in my life and just let my mind rest.
It’s cliche.
I love her, and she has become a semblance of peace for me. There is no way she will ever be able to leave me now.
“Theo! Shee, my Band. “Ayla yells, making me straighten up and open my eyes.
What is that fucker doing here? Doesn’t he have better things to do?
“When did Theo come?” I snap at Levi.
He smirks, leaning in. “just now, it seems.”
I glare at him unconsciously. “what does he want?”
“He wants to see his girlfriend, maybe?” His smirk widens.
“Girlfriend, my ass. She is not his girlfriend. She is not his— anything.” I scoff, clasping my hands together.
“I don’t think Layla feels the same way, Alpha. “He yawns, rising to his feet.
“She must feel the same way.” I hiss through my clenched teeth.
I feel it again… the fear of losing her. I don’t want to become a monster to her again, but I am scared that if she tries to leave me, I will lose my mind and try to hold onto her by hook or by crook. I will kill that fucker Theo if that’s what it will take for her to love me and forget all about him.
“I should say Hi to our new ally.” Levi mocks.
I pick up the paperweight from my desk and launch it towards his head. He ducks at the last moment, saving his head from splitting open.
“Don’t be angry, Alpha! I bet Layla doesn’t like angry men.” He laughs and runs away before I throw the whole desk at him to make sure he doesn’t dodge it.
I clench my hands into fists, trying to fight the growing anger. It’s really possible that Layla doesn’t like angry men. Theo is soft-spoken and gentle, after all.
He is the kind of man who will kiss her with each thrust in her tight pussy and murmur sweet words into her ears. Lava bubbles in my veins when my mind paints that picture in front of my burning eyes.
He will never get to have that with her. It will be me. Only me. I might not do whatever I can, but I will worship every inch of her like she is my personal Goddess. I will reach deep and dig rough. I will leave my marks on her. She will gasp for breath every time she comes, but I will take her harder and deeper because I will never get enough of her.
My dick stirs in my pants when I think about that scenario. I only fucked her once after all these years—Only once. My self-control is surprising me. But something tells me that if I really take her the way I want, worship her a whole night, fuck her until she is almost unconscious—She will think her pussy is all that I want from her. And that’s not fucking true.
I spring to my feet before marching out of the office. My destination is the living room, where I know everyone is gathered without me.
Just when I enter, the scene in front of my eyes makes ice invade my veins. I freeze on my spot, my blazing eyes fixed on the attached lips.
A growl rumbles in my chest. She pushes the fucker away and instantly turns to me. Her wide eyes settle onto my face. That must be reflecting the monster I was trying to hide from her.
How can she kiss him when she slept in my arms the last night?
“Alpha Alexander. “The fucker acknowledges my presence.
I take my eyes off the woman, who seems dead scared and look at Theo. Anger becomes a physical itch under my skin.
“You are so dead. “I mutter before I am in front of him, and his throat is in my hand.
I go blind to the world. Anger rules me. Rage drives me. Fury makes me slam him into the nearest wall. I can’t even notice that I am using my full Lycan abilities in front of him and Layla. I am only focused on sucking this fucker’s life out of his body.
His lips were on her mouth. My mouth. She is mine.
He knees my side. Pain sears in my flesh. Something does break. But I can’t bring myself to release him.
He jams his knee into my side again. This time, the crack is loud enough to make me waver, but I won’t let him go.
I squeeze his neck tightly and step closer to his face. He tries to claw his way out of my hand, but he can’t do that. He is just a child. A fucking pussy who can’t fight me for shit.
Alex,” Layla yells and grabs my bicep.
“She is mine.” I hiss, digging my fingers into his neck.
“Please leave him.” She pleas.
Regret fills me. She sounds scared and anxious. My hold loosens around his neck, but I can’t bring myself to let him go. Two small arms come around my waist, holding me tightly. “Please. Oh, Goddess, please. Please leave him, Alex.”
I break out of the angry haze and release Theo instantly. But it’s already late. She is trembling with dread.
“Layla,” I whisper, placing my hands on her shivering arms.
“Please, Alex.” She sniffles, indicating that she is crying.
Instinctively, I turn around and move her to the right so I can look at her face. But she glances to the left and pushes me aside, stepping in my place.
Theo, who got up to attack me, ended up punching the top of her head. Her body hits mine, making me hyper-aware of what the fuck just happened.
“Layla,” I yell, dropping to my knees to support her slumping body.
“Layla!” There are many collective gasps of her name as everyone rushes to her worriedly.
