Ch 22 Worst Day Ever
ALARIC’S POV
Yesterday was amazing. We skipped lunch and made love to Thea. We kept our clothes on, but that’s what it was— making love. We skipped the rest of school, relaxed in the woods, and talked about shifting. It was a fantastic day. Then we went home to find all our stuff moved into Thea’s room. We were officially living together. We finally get to sleep together every night, be together every day. No reason to part. No space between us. She was ours.
Today, we woke up and watched Thea get ready for her day with Misty. She styled her hair and put on makeup. She never wears makeup unless it’s a formal event. She doesn’t need it, she’s perfect without it, but if she put it on, it meant she thought the occasion was special. She wanted to impress someone. It hurt that she was doing it for someone else.
When I saw her in the turquoise dress, hair styled, makeup on, it took my breath away. She was always gorgeous. She was the most beautiful creature on Earth. No one held a candle to her, even though she always dressed in a way to downplay her feminine features. Seeing her in the dress that accentuated those features made me want to reach under it and do things to make her scream my name.
I could tell Kai and Conri were thinking similar thoughts.
She kissed each of us goodbye then left.
“When was the last time we spent an entire day away from each other?” Kai said.
“When we were kids. She went with her parents to visit her uncle’s pack back east,” Conri said. “She was gone a week.”
“We fought each other and everyone else the whole time,” I said, remembering.
“We couldn’t sleep without her. Mom had to drug us,” Kai said.
As soon as she got back, we relaxed, and things went back to normal. Our parents decided Thea couldn’t go anywhere without us. When her parents were sent on out-of-town assignments, we were assigned to keep Thea safe and happy since we were the reason she couldn’t be with them.
“Why does she want to spend the entire day without us?” Kai said.
“She needs to see what else is out there. She’s never had anyone even show an interest in her because we scared them away before they hada chance,” I said.
“Why does she want to spend the day with that she-wolf?” Conri said.
“Misty confessed her love for her. We haven’t even done that,” Kai said.
“Of course Thea will be affected by that,” I said. “ She doesn’t know anything besides us,” I said. I couldn’t help but think we’d been pathetic mates to her.
“Neither do we. We’ve only ever been with her,” Conri said.
“No,” I said.
“We’ve had girls throw themselves at us all our lives. We know we don’t want them.”
“Alpha Valko.”
“Alpha Alaric.”
So many girls had tried to turn me on by saying my name and title in what they thought was a seductive way. If only they knew how repulsive their voices were to me. Kai and Conri had the same problem. Girls would put their hands on our chests and try to trail their fingers up and down our abs. Again, they thought they were being seductive, but we felt like spiders were crawling on our skin.
We had to be careful removing their hands from us. The knee-jerk reaction was to throw them off with our Alpha strength or beat them to a bloody pulp so they wouldn’t think about doing it again, but we were taught not to hurt people weaker than us. Even females that were touching something that belonged to Thea.
Eventually, it got to the point if we saw a girl approaching us, we’d stop her before she got to us. Kai would hold out his hand and say, “No. Don’t even try. I’m not interested.”
That’s all it took for him. He was the most intimidating guy at our school. People didn’t argue with him. Most people were afraid of him. He didn’t take crap from people, and he didn’t let anything go.
Everyone knew he meant business, and no one could change his mind. He won every argument, every fight, everything. The one exception was Thea.
Conri would get angry. “I’m taken,” he’d say. Sometimes the girl would argue. I’d seen it happen.
“No, you’re not. Thea doesn’t have romantic feelings for you. You need to move on. Why not with me? I can make you happy.” Things along those lines. It only angered Conri further.
“Stay away from me,” he’d say. If the girl pressed further or touched him, he’d jump away and get mean. “You disgust me. Your touch is repulsive. I could never want you.” Things like that. «
People knew not to touch us at this point. The only person who got to touch us was Thea.
When a girl approached me, I’d shake my head. If she didn’t get the message, I’d look her dead in the eye—the challenge of an Alpha, where you either submit or we fight to the death.
Of course, she’d submit and bare her neck to me, acknowledging that I was stronger and could kill her easily. She’d have to do whatever I told her after that. I’d say, “Go away. Stay away. It’s never going to happen.”
It wasn’t an Alpha tone command. It was a simple statement letting them know my boundaries. Goddess help the she-wolf that tried to call me Ric. Thea gave me that nickname when we were kids. I loved it when she called me Ric. No one else got to call me that. I was Alpha Alaric or Alpha Valko to anyone else. ‘
Word got around, and some girls made it into a challenge. They’d follow us into the restroom.
We’d be standing there, minding our business as one does while urinating in a public toilet. Then hands wrap around our waist and try to grab our dicks. “Let me give you a blow job.” Their touch would instantly make our dicks soft. Those girls got thrown out of the bathroom and reported.
