Glancing at the phone, alpha Jude fumed that she still had not replied to his texts. It was almost two days since they had planned and executed, and he had hoped for positive results by now.She had not replied to his last few messages, and he could tell that for some reason she was still hoarding the pictures and had not shown them to Alpha Damon yet.Alpha Jude wondered why she would do that, they had seemed perfectly aligned, and she seemed to have wanted the same things as him earlier, so it was strange that she had not completed her part yet. He fumed inwardly at the thought that she was delaying their plan and his chances of having Ava back.The longer they spent beating about the bush, the more likely she was to tell him about the pregnancy and render his efforts useless.Taking out his phone for the umpteenth time, he texted her again, he had never called her and did not want to start so he decided to stick to texting. Going back to work, he willed his thoughts away from bot
Alpha Damon was engrossed in his work, his eyes scanning the ledger that Will had brought in a while ago, he could spot some errors and he did not like it. Whoever entered this particular ledger either had something fishy going on, or perhaps just made honest mistakes.A subtle “hi” startled him from his work and he lifted his eyes to see Princess.“Hi Princess, I did not hear you come in, how long have you been standing there.” He had honestly not heard her enter and most certainly did not see her standing there, that was why he asked.“A while, you were so focused I would rather not distract you,” she said with a smile. But you just did, alpha Damon thought, holding back an eye roll. His eyes popped out of their sock eats when she leaned over his desk, her boobs practically pouring out of her dress.They looked perfect, a little too perfect to be natural, but he brushed that aside. They still looked very attractive, and he forced his gaze was from them, swallowing loudly.His eyes
Ava could feel her heart pound violently in her chest as she rushed out, walking as fast as her legs could carry her. She had no set direction, but she knew she wanted to be as far from them as possible.The ladies' room was where her feet took her, and she heaved when she slammed the door behind her. Walking over to the mirror, she stared at her reflection.Her face still looked baffled, and shocked. How long has that been going on? What was it between them? She asked herself as she dropped the files in her hand to wash off the clammy sweat on her palm.All she wanted to do was return the goddamn files and head back home, but no, of course, having a normal day was not something she was familiar with.It hurt a little, scratch that, it hurt a lot for someone she had convinced herself and successfully believed not to care about. He did not look so into it, but she could not shake off the image of his lips touching hers. Gathering herself and heading out of the bathroom, she inhaled a
The door to his office creaked open, and Alpha Damon lifted his eyes to see princess. A sigh unconsciously left his lips.Had she not done enough? What else did she want now? perhaps there is more she had to do that she had not already done.“There are rumors flying around.” That was all she said, and Alpha Damon looked down at his computer, not wanting to speak to her just yet.“Did you beg a woman?” She asked insistent. Her face held what looked like embarrassment, and he cringed, why was she embarrassed for him, she had no right. Not in his books, at least.“ I am busy, can we have this chat some other time?” Alpha Damon asked, he was exhausted, and dealing with her was not something he wanted to do at the moment.“So she thinks we did more than just the kiss, why don’t we prove her right,” Princess said, walking over to him again.Bold of her, was all alpha Jude could think of. Sometimes, her boldness surprised him.“What do you mean?” Alpha Damon asked, moving the computer to the
Princess almost tripped on her feet as she hurried to grab her stuff. It's not every day that Alpha Damon asks them to go home with a wink, and it could only mean one thing. That they were on the same page now.She had stolen a glance at him one last time with her most seductive look as she walked out of the office. The office was empty when she returned, she headed downstairs to where they had parked earlier this morning. She tried opening the door, but it was locked, and he looked too lost in thought to even see her standing there, so she knocked softly on the window of the car, waving a little to grab his attention.He opened the car, and she stepped in, unable to hold back the smile on her face, she beamed excitedly. He looked zoned out again, and Princess wondered what it was that got him like that. “What are you thinking about, we should go.” Princess snapped at him, once again bringing him out of his train of thought. And they drove home, she could not contain her happiness
Ava waved back at Mika enthusiastically, drawing herself back to reality as she walked over to her. “I think we are getting old,” Ava said, panting when she got to the top, where Mika was.“Why?” Mika asked, squinting her eyes at her, confused.“It is getting harder and harder to get up here.” She said with a laugh, collapsing on the space beside her and taking the water bottle that Mika stretched to her.“Speak for yourself woman” Mika started with a chuckle,“ I am still very much young, okay?”Ava could feel Mika’s eyes on her, she was curious, it was that obvious, and Ava could tell she was waiting for the perfect moment to ask her for details.“So…” Mika started when she saw Ava set the water bottle aside.“So?” Ava asked back like she did not know what Mika was implying.“So what happened, you sounded pissed off and upset,” Mika asked again, I’m clear terms this time.“ I saw him kissing Princess.” Ava held back a Gaga as the words left her lips. She still felt very upset just f
Mika waited patiently, glancing towards the road at every slight noise. Ava was beginning to take too long, but she could understand since their spot was a little on the outskirts of West Wood.She sighed in relief when she saw Ava's car pull up, and she got out, looking around. She looked lost in thought as she got to the foot of the hill, her eyes looking around her.“Ava, come on” Mika waved at her, drawing her attention.Ava only looked deep in thought, and not half as bad as Mika had expected. Her voice had suggested something urgent, perhaps she was just shaken at the moment.They exchanged pleasantries and Mika offered her a bottle of water and waited patiently for her to speak, she had mentioned she needed someone to talk to. Mika was always prepared for these things, so she had packed some snacks and water for them both. Knowing fully well that they might be here for hours.Will did not exactly fancy the idea, but Mika could not help it, not only had she missed her friend fo
The sound of blades clashing against each other, the grunts and screams as they fought brought some sort of strange comfort to him. Being here, on the practice battlefield was his next favorite thing, his first had been spending time with Ava, but times and things had changed, and so had her feelings for him.He was yet to admit that he had caused this, this ginormous wall between them had all been his fault, he had built it, his making. It was he who had persuaded her to leave for West Wood that night for some so-called mate bond ceremony.And from his deduction and intense calculation, he had a hunch that alpha Damon had undoubtedly met Ava there.It was the only sense he could make out of it, and then two weeks later he had come to Mist Wood to discuss some land that they had long forgotten about. Or maybe he had not forgotten about the land, but he had made peace with the knowledge that it was not theirs anymore, they had lost it to West Wood a long time ago.Alpha Damon saw Av
