Refusing my undecided Alpha 5

Chapter

Caius and I were living apart now

I had no idea where he’d gone. And I didn’t care

What I didn’t expect was for his cousin to DM me screenshots from Thalia’s socials

[Who else gets grounded from clubbing at twentyfour? Caius is soooo overprotective, lol. Obviously, I’m going anyway.

Attached was their chat

And another post

[Domestic husband Caius feeding me againtoday’s chef special.

The selfie showed him spoonfeeding her, doting and gentle

Then there was one with her curled up on the couch in an oversized buttonup

His buttonup

[Tried the whole men’s shirtthing y’all keep raving aboutturns out, it’s super comfy

Caius was visible in the background, focused on his laptop

I just stared at it all and smiled faintly

Strange

The old me would’ve marched straight to wherever they were and slapped both of them. Hard

But now

Now I felt nothing. Justtired amusement

When the message came in from Caius’s Beta about the bondseverance proceedings, Orion happened to walk in with a cup of coffee

What can I sayOrion was good at his job

Barely two weeks into the role, and he already knew all my likes, all my habits. He could tell what I wanted before I even asked

He slid onto the edge of my desk, grinning lazily

We should celebrate,he said. Something good happened, right? Feels like a whiskey kind of mood.” 

I raised a brow and tugged playfully on his tie

His eyes darkened just a little

But I’m not in the mood for whiskey tonight.” 

I used his tie to bind his hands. Then led him straight to my private quarters in the pack house

I didn’t expect to run into Caius again so soonlet alone at a bar

Thalia had apparently attracted the wrong kind of attention. A couple of drunk guys had gotten too handsy

And CaiusGrayspire Pack’s evercomposed Alphawas brawling like a damn street wolf

I leaned back against the bar, sipping my drink, watching the scene unfold with mild interestuntil his eyes locked with mine

I didn’t move. Just kept sipping like it had nothing to do with me

Someone quickly stepped in to handle the aftermath

Caius dropped the handkerchief he’d used to wipe his hands and gave the order for his Beta to get Thalia into the car

Then he walked straight toward me

His gaze flicked briefly to Orion standing at my side

Recognition sparked

Chapter

3.55

Of course he remembered him

Anyone would

Orion wasn’t just handsomehe was sculpted. Broad shoulders, lean waist, six feet three, abs practically visible beneath his fitted gray dress shirt

I handpicked him for a reason

Caius narrowed his eyes. Were those men sent by you?” 

I gave a short laugh and slid my hand around Orion’s waist

You think I’m that bored?” 

The look in Caius’s eyes darkened instantly

The tension in the air dropped like a stone

Still, he kept it together. Barely

His pride kept him poised, composed

Just checking,he said coolly. Didn’t want to assume you’d gotten so jealous you’d lost your mind.” 

I rolled my eyes and grabbed my purse. Then reached for Orion’s hand, lacing our fingers together

I’m done here. Let’s go.” 

What I didn’t expect –was for Orion to outpetty me

He slipped an arm around my waist and leaned down, smirking wickedly against my ear

His voice was low but not quiet enough

By the waywe ran out of those last time. Should I grab another box?” 

I froze

My ears burned red

After we left the bar, Orion swung by a convenience store. I waited in the car

Then the passenger door openedand it wasn’t Orion

Caius slid in, calm and silent

In the stillness, he spoke softly, I know what you’re doing. That Beta? You brought him in to mess with me.‘ 

Then he said my namesoftly, the way he used to. Familiar. Intimate. Dangerous

Zira,he murmured, I’m taking Thalia back to Oakshade tomorrow. School starts soon. Once I’m backlet’s talk

He reached for my hand, holding it firmly

Let’s go back to the way things were. Please.” 

I thought of what he said two weeks ago

Come home early. Tell me what you wantI’ll cook just for you.” 

That day, I almost believed we could make it

Almost

But I also remembered what I’d told himone more lie, and I’d never forgive him again

So I smiled

Sure. When you’re back, we’ll talk.

We’d talk, all right

About what happens after a mate bond is broken
