Broken Alpha by Paulina Vasquez (ebooks online reader TXT) 📕

“I was getting a neck kink.” He grinned. “The bed is so big, I climbed on one side and you rolled over to my side.”

“I need my phone; I have to check in on Leo and Rocky.” I said.

“Okay, I’ll have Odessa bring it up. She’s charging it for you.” He said. I glared at him. The thought of seeing his mistress was stabbing at my heart.

“Excuse me, who?” Rae growled in my mind.

“She’s about your size, but a little taller. I’ll ask her to bring some clothes for you too.” His eyes glazed over, and he was mind linking her.

I considered wrapping a sheet around myself for the day, like a Greek toga. It’s what the ancients wore, wasn’t it? This was so uncomfortable, there’s no way I was wearing her clothes. I had just met him; I wasn’t even sure that he really wanted me. What if he picked her over me? He had killed his first mate, maybe he killed her so he could be with Odessa?

“If you’re going to reject me, you should do it now. I have no intention of sticking around and watching you flAunt your girlfriend in my face.” I said. Jealousy, anger, possessiveness, pride was pulsing through me at the same time.

He looked at me standing here, slowly taking me in, wearing nothing but a shirt, hair messy, fists clenched, and face red. Realization had just swept through him.

“You’re so cute. A little maddening but adorable.” He continued to smile.

“What?” I huffed.

He stalked towards me and I backed up into the wall. He placed both of his hands next to my head on each side and leaned in towards me. His size was intimidating, and he looked down into my eyes. His Alpha aura was strong and the heat from his body was causing all kinds of crazy reactions from mine.

“You’re not jealous are you little bird?” He asked.

“Pfffft, jealous of what?” I rolled my eyes and tried to play it off.

“I will rip her eyes out!” Rae snarled inside of me.

“Look at me.” He commanded.

I couldn’t help myself, I looked at him. His eyes came closer to my face and the warm honey color was dazzling, his eyes shifted to my lips and I could feel his urge to kiss me. I bit down on my lower lip trying to restrain my own urge. He brought his hand up to cup my face and lowered his lips close to mine.

There was a knock at the door that brought us back to reality. He stepped back and turned around. “Come in.” He said and moved closer to the door.

“Good morning.” Her voice rang out and she walked over to Dimitri.

“I’m sorry about last night.” He said.

“What the fuck is he apologizing to her for?” Rae growled in my head.

“I was a little preoccupied last night.” He chuckled.

“That’s okay.” She giggled back and wrapped her arms around him to hug him. An involuntary growl escaped me and they both turned to look at me. His smile widened and my reaction seemed to amuse him.

“Raven, I’d like you to meet Odessa, my sister.” He smiled. “Odessa, this is Raven.” He added.

I felt foolish for a moment, all this time, I thought Odessa was his girlfriend. I’m sure he has mistresses around, I saw him naked, how could he not have mistresses. I also noticed that he didn’t introduce me as his mate to his sister. This did not escape me.

“I had your underwear cleaned, and I believe this dress will fit you properly. I wasn’t sure about your shoe size, but these sandals are adjustable.” She handed them to me.

“Thank you. It’s nice to meet you.” I said and stared into the same light honey colored eyes as Dimitri.

“I also charged your phone for you. I’m sure your friends must be worried about you.” She smiled.

“I do have a few calls to make.” I smiled.

“You can call after breakfast; Elaina will have breakfast at the table waiting for us.” Dimitri said.

Chapter 18 – Desire

I was wearing a pretty cream colored dress that Odessa had loaned me, all eyes seemed to be on me. Most faces were warm and friendly, some were curious. Whispers from the other tables buzzed as speculation about me continued to grow.

I sat quietly at the breakfast table between Dimitri and Niko. Dimitri kept stealing sideway glances at me and his chair was inching closer and closer to me. I could feel his aura and the need to be closer to him was burning in my chest, like a pull. Niko and Alec were smiling at each other, their eyes were glazed over, I had a feeling they were mind linking. Elaina and the kitchen staff had prepared a big spread with sfougato, which is like a big Greek breakfast frittata. There was also, sausages, oatmeal, yogurt with honey, different breakfast breads and fresh fruit.

“So Raven, how did you sleep last night?” Niko asked with a big suggestive grin on his face and Alec burst out laughing.

“Fine, thank you.” My response was short.

“I don’t see any signs of special bed bugs biting.” Alec said laughing.

“Two grown men cackling like silly schoolgirls.” Odessa rolled her eyes at Niko and Alec.

“Pay no attention to them. I don’t think we’ve been properly introduced, I’m Spiro, the Delta and this is my mate Adanna.” He smiled.

“It’s very nice to meet you.” I said.

“Oh, your accent is lovely.” Adanna told me with a Greek accent of her own. “Where are you from?”

“Western Canada.” I responded
