Chapter 24

In all these years many things had changed, like James had to become more sociable since he had to interact with the other teammates but of course he always made himself respected, in one of those meetings he met his best partner, Erick Dancourt. A good and calm boy, umm, Playful? He was like a child in the body of a mature adult with responsibilities but everyone knew that when he got serious, when he had to do things, he did them excellently and with a hint of superiority, a macabre duality, blessed be his alpha.

Another current fact is that he changed his scarf for turtleneck sweaters, they looked more formal and much more comfortable, he sat at his desk panting, Erick had come to his office out of nowhere because of the rumors that were circulating in the company, such as the that a certain alpha looked with desire at the respectable boss and he only blushed managing to break the cold barrier that he always carried, the blond was not going to miss that gossip, as a best friend he deserved it.

Yes, he had earned that title.

As soon as he set foot in the office, he had been bombarded with questions, resigned James had to tell him the whole story with the alpha and the blond felt indignant because he had not told him that fact, he believed that his friend never fell in love for all the shit that had happened to him and yes, he had told him about his marks but Erick understood him and supported him in everything, that's why he deserved that title of best friend.

—Erick is not as easy as you think.

—Well, for the love of everything, you can tell from afar that there's still something there, I've seen how he looks at you, a little more he eats you with his eyes, five years have passed James, five fucking years and you haven't had a good fuck.

—Yes, only that matters to you, I can't see it with other eyes, besides, he already has a family, he would hate me more if he destroyed it.

—Fine, then I'll find you an alpha.

—No, you won't do that, love will never be made to me, I already told you.

—And who said there will be love? Your heat is almost nothing to come and I know you need a good alpha to help you with that little problem, so today we are going to party and I will not take no for an answer, I will introduce you to my brother, I know you will love it.

—I don't want an Alpha Erick, I want...

The door opened suddenly giving that image of a scared alpha, it was noticeable but James knew him perfectly, he had heard, something but he had done it, his eyes did not lie and they had a hint of happiness in them but why had he done. Was he glad to hear of his misfortune?

—Excuse me, I didn't want to interrupt your conversation, but I was told to give you the report on the market proposal.

—O-Okay, ummm, I'll talk to Choi when she's done reading it.

The alpha nodded starting to walk quickly towards the door, it goes without saying that with the little they had spoken, Erick noticed the look the alpha gave him, his friend's shyness and the anger he carried because they seemed damned pubescents who don't want to accepting that they love each other or that they want to fuck right there without caring about the presence of anyone, he rubbed the bridge of his nose when he heard the door close, he looked up trying to compose his best smile and hiding the desire he had to hit them both.

—Without a doubt, that brunette drives you crazy, I still don't know why you haven't forgotten about him, does he have a big cock?

—Erick Dancourt!

—That's me, I'll come for you at eight along with my beautiful alpha and my little brother will be there, I know you'll be here so you don't escape me, see you later bunny.

His friend smiled widely as he finally left his office while James just sighed leaning back in his chair, it had only been three weeks and yes he couldn't deny it, he noticed the looks the alpha was giving him but tried to ignore them, why was he looking at him? that way? Did she want to make him his mistress? He would be very shameless of him to cheat on his husband or wife, it was not going to be second-rate, No! He could still love him but no, he was going to let them use him as a dirty rag.

That James had died a long time ago.
