{ Nukea }I swore to myself that I would be strong for at least a day. But, apparently, I can't be strong for even a minute because as soon as Theo has me in his arms and I can kiss his lips again, I get hit by an unbearable need to never detach myself from him again. I've never felt anything so intense before, I could swear I'm high, I even feel like his scent is more potent than usual, he just smells so perfect and masculine.I can't stop myself."Nu," Theo groans when my hips start to move uncontrollably over his erection, he squeezes his hands on my ass as a warning, "Nu... what about the kids? They might see.”"They're with your aunt," I tell him, Theo makes a confused sound, but I ignore him and don't let him speak because I start sucking on his bottom lip and I slip my hands under his shirt to touch his naked chest. I tug on his shirt until Theo understands what I want and lifts his arms so I can take it off."Does this mean I can touch you again?" he asks, his voice deep and
"Hey boys, how did it go with my aunt? Do you guys like her?" he asks, setting Beau down to hug Knox too. "Yeah, she took us to the park and then for ice cream, we played with Ashley and ran around a lot," Knox says before giving him the whole recap in detail of everything they did. Theo listens to it all as if he doesn't have a million more important things to think about. Once the recap is over, he finally comes over to me and hugs me from behind. "Have you eaten yet? I'm making something new, but it might be awful," I warn. "No, I'm really hungry. And whatever it is, it smells amazing," he replies, not letting go of me... until my brothers force him to go play with their new console. Theo sits with them until I'm done and it's time to eat. This weird concoction I made is fine, but I don't even savor it much because I eat super fast and then I rush the boys to bed because I can't wait another second to be alone with Theo. When I get back to my room, Theo is coming out of the s
After dropping the kids off, I drive to their new school, which is only about a ten minute drive from our house, or a fifteen minute walk.I put on some sunglasses as I enter and I walk straight to the offices. No one has been rude to me in a long time, since my father disappeared and has stopped bothering all of us, but I still don't feel completely safe in full rich spaces, like this school.The tuition is so fucking expensive that my heart stops before I remember I can afford it. For now."Uhm, is there an option to pay it all up front?" I ask. The lady attending to me just looks at me in confusion, “The whole education journey, until senior year. For both of them.”"Uhm," she frowns and looks back to her computer, "For the little guy, that would be eleven years. Do you want to pay eleven years up front?""Can I?" I ask, she looks confused and tells me the estimate of how much it would be. It’s the price of a car, a very expensive one, "Okay... can I pay five years at least?""Okay
"So, Theo is definitely the Alpha now, huh?" Knox says, appearing next to me all of a sudden, "I could hear what he was saying as we were walking.""Yep," I reply, "Since his father is indisposed, he became the Alpha earlier than expected. Please, both of you, always show respect to him, especially if we are out in public. He is Alpha Theodore now. And if you ever see that bitch next to him... that's Luna Isabella."Beau just nods without much thought, but Knox frowns and crosses his arms across his chest, looking confused."If he already has a Luna... what are you?" He asks. I guess he’s not as unaware as I thought "His good friend, that's all," I reply, trying not to sound bitter but probably failing, "Anyway, I have to make lunch."I walk straight to do that, shutting my brain off for the rest of the day. I close the curtains and turn off my phone, I just eat and watch TV for hours until it's time to go to sleep. I was starting to lose hope that Theo would come to sleep with me t
"Liam, stop and think about it logically... she is SO perfect for you," I say and grab his arm, he looks at me with the most annoyed face ever, "She is so absolutely perfect for you. So evil and mean and such a fucking bitch. She’s exactly the woman for you.""First of all, I've told you I don't like it when you touch me out of nowhere like that," he grabs my hand like it's garbage and pulls it away from his arm, "Second, I would never go for Isabella. She's the worst. She's... she's just... the fucking worst.“"Is she? Well, yeah, but she's beautiful," I try, he shakes his head in denial, "She's really, really strong...""Why the fuck are we even talking about her?" He spits. I can literally feel his whole body vibrating with energy. He wants her so bad, his body can't control it."Because I finally figured it out. That's why you're so involved in this and that's why you hate Theo, is because you love Isabella. It makes all the sense in the world. And you should go for it. Go get her
{ Theodore }As I walk out of my office to my car, I try to call Nukea, but once again my call goes unanswered.It’s been three days since I've been able to talk to her and I'm starting to get restless. This is not normal. And worst of all, I haven't even had time to go check if everything is okay with her. I thought I could go see her today, even if she’s ignoring me… but as soon as I get in my car, Fiorella calls me and tells me I have to go to the hospital to see Isabella.At this point I'm more than used to emergency trips to the hospital because of Isabella's high-risk pregnancy, so I just sigh and head over there, hoping everything is okay. She and I are not on good terms at all, but I still don't want anything bad to happen to her. Once I arrive, I find Aldo and Fiorella next to some of Isabella's stupid friends, whom I ignore. "What's going on now?" I ask."We brought her in for severe pain, this time was worse than before," Fiorella tells me, making me frown with concern.
I call Nukea again even though I know it's useless and once again, I get ignored. The weird thing is that this time calling Knox is also useless, even though he usually always picks up.Fucking hell. I try to catch my breath and once I feel like I'm not going to throw up, I grab the stuff Nukea left here and I head out again, straight to the lobby. "Hello, Alpha," the doorman repeats, just like when I walked in, “Do you need something?”"When was the last time you saw Nukea Winters? The ginger omega with two kids.""Oh, Nookie," he says, nodding as he knows her perfectly, "Three or four days ago. She said goodbye to me, said she was going to move out. Although, come to think of it, I never saw any moving, she just didn’t come back.”"I see… Thanks," I mumble and grab my phone as I leave. I hate to do this, but I kinda have to, "Hey, do you happen to know where is Nukea?""Nukea, who is that?.. Oh! you mean, your fated mate?" he asks, making my body freeze in fear of the secret being
"Obviously, I know no one would ever want me as their fated mate and I understand all the reasons why, but it still sucks," Nukea continues, making me feel even worse, "It sucks to be reminded that I can't have anything nice ever. I wasn't born to have nice things. I wasn't born to have something beautiful and romantic like what Charlie has with Rahul. I was just born to be a whore hidden in the dark while Isabella can be your Luna in front of everyone because she’s better than me in every fucking way!"All I want to do is to take her in my arms and explain how wrong she is, but Nukea stops me with her eyes when I dare to take a step towards her."You're wrong," I end up saying, "Things aren't so black and white, Nu. I won't deny it, at first I thought our bond didn't matter and I tried to ignore it, but I couldn't, so I decided to make things right. Don't you realize I'm doing all of this so you can be my Luna? That's all I want right now. I was going to tell you the whole truth abou
