Filed To Story: Falling for the Alpha As a Student Novel
This entire time I thought maybe I had drunk a little too much or maybe even consumed some of the drugs that Bethany tried to give me. But it was neither of those things; it’s been Connie this whole time.
“Nothing happened,”
she finally said quickly. “I promise… we didn’t have sex that night.”
“I woke up naked,”
I said, taking a step away from her. “You were naked too.”
She began to sob into her hands; I thought she was going to fall to the floor, but she remained on her feet.
“I set it up to look like we had slept together,”
she finally admitted. “I wanted you to think that there could be something between us. I wanted to plant the idea in your head…”
“You did WHAT?”
I couldn’t help the fury that was boiling out of me; at that moment, all I was seeing was red.
“I’m so sorry!”
She continued to cry. “I never meant for it to get this far. I thought I could convince you that your wolf wanted me… I thought….”
her voice trailed off as she hiccupped.
This wasn’t happening right now; this type of betrayal was unforgivable.
This was someone I trusted so deeply and for her to betray me like this. I couldn’t continue with these thoughts; if I didn’t get out of there and quickly, I was going to rip her head right off her shoulders.
“Please, don’t be mad at me,”
she cried. “I’m so sorry, Enzo. I was going to tell you, but—“
“I need you to leave.”
I turned away from her, unable to stomach looking at her. I was going to do something I was definitely going to regret if she didn’t leave right now.
“What?”
She asked, pain clear as day in her tone.
“I don’t want you hear anymore. Pack up your stuff, and leave. Return to your pack.”
“But, Enzo—”
I turned around quickly, Max’s canines evident to her and his eyes glaring at her through mine. It was a look she had never seen before and a look I hoped she’d never see. But it was so fierce it caused her to gasp loudly and stagger backwards.
“I’m not going to ask you again,”
I said in a low and threatening tone.
She stared at me for a moment longer, speechless.
I didn’t wait around for her to say or do anything else. I turned back around and left without another word.
As soon as we were outside, Max burst through me, growling loudly and fiercely as we ran through the streets of Monstro. There was a lot of steam he needed to blow off and I knew he wanted to turn back and tear Connie apart from her limbs.
But I wasn’t going to allow him to do that. We just ran through the forest for a long while until he started to get winded enough to settle down.
Once we had stopped running, we shifted back into our human form and went towards the beach. Lila should be there by now and I needed to speak to her. She needed to know everything that had happened and that nothing was going to happen between Connie and me.
I wasn’t much of a partier, especially with a bunch of college students. Everybody seemed to have too much energy and they had been drinking too much.
There was a roaring bonfire in the middle of the beach and I could feel the heat for miles. There was a long line that lead to the tiki bar and everybody wore bathing suits, dancing to the live music and swimming in the now dark ocean.
I scanned the beach; I could sense Lila, but I didn’t see her. It would be a lot easier to find her exact location if I had marked her. But now I just have to give it my best guess and hope that Max can find her based on her scent alone.
Although, he always seemed to be able to find her easily.
“Alpha Enzo?”
Emma said as I approached her small group that stood, drinks in hand, at the bonfire.
Lila wasn’t amongst them.
“Lila didn’t tell me you were coming,”
she said, peering up at me with a frown.
“Is she around here somewhere?”
Em looked around curiously for a moment.
“She was a little bit ago. She was having a lot of pina-coladas to drink. Matty was buying them for her. I think they are around here somewhere.”
She went off somewhere along with a guy after she’s been drinking?!
Could this night get any worse?!
Riddled with annoyance I walked away from Em without saying anything more. I went to a more secluded area because that’s where I feared this guy would take a drunk Lila.
Her scent grew more potent as I got to a quiet area, and I knew at that moment that I was on the right track.
Then, I heard their voices.
“Come on… let’s get out of here. We can go back to my place and really get to know each other…”
That was a guy’s voice.
“I shouldn’t…”
Lila’s voice trailed off as she worked hard to keep herself awake.
She was completely wasted.
Lila’s POV
“Do you want another drink?”
Matty asked, leaning over as we sat in the beach chairs in front of the roaring bonfire.
The heat of the bonfire was starting to get to me a little bit and my head was already spinning a little after the pina colada I just drank.
“Maybe just one more,”
I said, standing to my feet. “But I can go grab it. I need to take a walk away from the fire anyways.”
He stood up with me; everyone else seemed preoccupied in their own conversations and I was surprised that Matty stuck by my side for most of the evening. I was expecting him to run off with his friends and ignore me for most of the night.
I was beginning to think that this really was a date.
“I’ll come with you. I need to get away too,”
he said, walking with me toward the bar.
As soon as we were far enough away, my body started to cool down. Thank goddess because I was about ready to take a dive into the ocean.
“I’ll grab the drinks if you want to get a little further away from the fire. Find a more secluded area where we can talk,”
Matty suggested.
I wondered what he wanted to talk to me about, but I didn’t question him. The alcohol was really starting to get to my head, and I wanted to sit down somewhere. So, I just nodded and went towards a different section of the beach.
The more I walked, the quieter and darker it started to get. It was also getting much cooler as well. I didn’t think there would be many cold areas in a tropical place like Monstro, but I was surprised that the nights were oddly chilly when there was a light breeze.
Not that I was complaining though; it felt really good on my warm skin.
I took a deep breath, allowing the cold air to hit my lungs and make my head hurt a little less. But it only made me a little dizzier. Soon, I couldn’t handle being on my feet anymore; I feared I was going to fall over at any moment, so I decided to sit in the sand and wait for Matty to join me.
I had traveled farther than I thought I would have. The party was going on in the distance; nobody noticed me sitting alone further away.
Matty found me quickly and soon joined me in the sand.
He took a seat beside me and handed me one of the frozen drinks.
“Here,”
he said with a kind smile.
