“Why would you buy me dresses? “My lips pout.
‘Because I want to. And because you left your gigolo for the night, he invested some cash in shares to become this rich. “He throws my cum stained panties into the pile of clothes before the heels follow, and he says sarcastically.
I burst out laughing. “That money was for your stolen shirt. I was not paying for sex. “
There is something truly exhilarating about seeing someone so strong and powerful on his knees before me. My chest tightens as he slowly rises when he is done undressing me.
His lips land on my shoulder, and his eyes find mine in the reflection of the mirror. He grabs my waist before his hand rises to my boob and cups it.
“I don’t want anything from your money, Alex. We don’t have that kind of relationship. “I whisper.
“Everything about you, beautiful.” He pinches my nipple between his fingers.
I arch my back, my eyes closing. “Alex. I am so- – -“
“I know you are tired. “He slides his hands away.
I sigh as he moves back. My eyes open and look at him. He quickly removes his clothes to stand behind me in all his naked glory. He is a huge man, with a sexy physique. I can’t take my eyes off him no matter how hard I try.
Silently, he steps into my back and reaches out from around me to turn on the shower.
“Are we going to take a shower together?” It’s so obvious but I can’t help but still ask.
“We have to be by Ayla’s side. It’s better if we quickly get cleaned, Layla. “He steps closer, to be under the rain of water falling on me.
“I will never understand you. “I release a heavy breath and raise my hand to grab the bottle of shampoo from the rack but he is quicker than me and his arm is longer than mine so I am at a disadvantage.
“Tell me how I can help you with that.” He whispers, softly turning me around so I am facing.
“Help with what?” I frown, trying my best to not look at his body.
“Help you understand me. I want you to know everything about me, to understand me without words. “Alex says, focusing on scooping some shampoo on his palm.
My heartbeat escalates wildly. How can he say such things with a straight face and a wavered focus?
My cheeks heat up. I avert my gaze when he looks at me. He places his palms over my head, shampooing my hair gently.
“Close your eyes so you don’t get the shampoo in them.” He commands, and I squeeze my eyes shut tightly. My lips pucker out.
“My cute mate.” He praises, running his fingers down my strands.
“We are not mates. “I huff instinctively. “I rejected you.”
“That kind of rejection doesn’t work on Lycans.” He chuckles as if he finds it amusing.
“What do you mean?” My eyes snap open.
“Close your eyes, Layla. “Alex scolds, his eyes narrowing on me.
I close them obediently. His fingers run over the contour of my eyes lightly.
*A Lycan can’t be rejected unless he accepts that rejection. So we are still mates. You won’t be able to get rid of me unless I reject you.” He whispers in a slow voice and kisses my nose.
LAYLA
“Did you get something big last night?” Daphne chuckles, plopping beside me on the bench in the yard.
I tighten my hold around the mug in my hands and pull my knees closer to my chest. I did have more than something big last night. Alex and I had sex, and he told me the rejection didn’t work and washed me gently before slipping into the bed with me. He held me the whole night while I slept, and I woke up with him and Ayla occupying both sides of my shoulders and chest.
I don’t know what to make of it. It feels so peaceful and new. I am beginning to get scared now that this dream will be over soon, and I will get hurt again.
“What do I do?” I sigh.
“About what?” Daphne follows my line of sight and looks at Ayla, who is playing with blocks.
Serafina’s son is trying to play with her, but my Baby doesn’t seem to be in the mood for that. She wants her Daddy, I can tell. She refused to let him leave earlier. He had to promise an ice cream day out to make her stay without him for some time.
“Alex wants me to love him. “I reveal.
“Alex? So you have a nickname for him now?” She gasps playfully.
“Daphne. “I place my chin over my knee. “Please. I am not in the mood to joke.”
“Is it that serious?” Her voice becomes rigid right away.
“He literally asked me to love him and not Theo. He wants me to get to know him and spend time with him. At first, I thought he was overemotional because of what happened recently, but I don’t know anymore. What if he is really serious and won’t go back on his words? Or what if his enthusiasm is only temporary, and he will go back on his words?” I whisper, unable to make sense of this mess.
“You are overthinking things again, Layla.” She leans in and grabs my hand to squeeze it.
“You don’t know what it’s like, D. You don’t know what it feels like to be rejected by others. You don’t know what it’s like to be without a wolf. I am a lesser woman than any other in our world. I am not a human, and I am not a werewolf. I am just somewhere in between, and Alexander has told me this repeatedly. How do I trust him? And how do I stop trying to choose the safe side that Theo is for me? He is the only one who didn’t hate me for what I am.” I blurt, my voice lowering with each word.
I love Alex. That realization is still haunting me. I don’t want to love him. I want to love Theo.
But that sounds like a joke to me. Why can’t I just choose the man I want to love? Why does my heart have to complicate all these things?
“Layla.” Daphne hisses. “You are not like that! You are the strongest bad bitch I know. And you are just a late bloomer. You will get your wolf one day. I am fucking sure of that.”
“No, D. There is no wolf for me. “I shake my head.
“Doesn’t change a fucking thing. You are and will always be the best. Alpha Alexander has realized it like everyone does, Layla. He can’t overlook the fact that you will go to all lengths if it comes to protecting your people. He must have fallen for your charms the moment he witnessed your bad bitch side. Now, he can’t hold back.” She coos, ignoring my dramatic sighs.
“That’s not true. A man like him will never fall for a woman like me. “I huff, a sad smile stretching the corners of my lips.
“Why else is he desperate for you to love him?” She deadpans, leaving my hand.
“I don’t know. Maybe it’s the bond? Or he just wants to have me for a little longer? Or worse, he wants to sabotage whatever Theo and I might start?” I shrug before taking a sip of coffee from the mug.
“He is jealous, bitch!” She scoffs, folding her arms over her chest. “He is jealous and mad about you. Can’t you see the way he looks at you?”
“How does he look at me?” I ask curiously, his eyes flashing in my mind and making me shudder.
“He looks at you like he wants to kick everyone away and have a steamy fuck session with you and like he wants to kiss you until you forget the world and become his. He looks at you like he can’t bear the thought of being away from you or like he can’t get enough of you.” Daphne sighs dreamily.
My heart flutters. I shake my head, denying he ever looks at me like that. “Daphne-“
“Alpha is home.” She announces before we continue the talk about him.
