He rose and moved towards me, my heart picking up its pace with every step he took. His hand stroked the side of my face, causing a tingle to rush through me and I shivered at his touch just like earlier. He leaned in and his breath fanned over my face, hot, weakening, and mind-numbing.

"You should be running, Zera," he said with a voice so raw it made me shudder against him. "The most sensible thing to do is run from someone like me." 

"I don't want to run." I stubbornly stated, worn out with his long game. It wasn't helping anyone. He wanted me, I could see that, and I wanted him too.

His nose rubbed against mine, and he moved his forehead against mine. "Oh darling, but you should. I won't be like those little boys you've been with. I won't stop when you want me to. I won't stop until I'm completely buried in your mind and soul. You will belong to me."

A Weekend With The Alpha

　　We came home, and I helped Zion change and freshen up, ate, and then we did his homework. I sat next to Zion after tucking him in bed and stroked the side of his face and then bid him good night.


　　"Sweet dreams, okay?" he nodded, and I leaned in and placed a kiss on his forehead before leaving his room to mine.


　　I had assignments and projects to grade and I had to do them tonight as I would turn them in tomorrow.


　　I entered into bed, wore my glasses, and gather the papers and books on the nightstand onto my legs. Thirty minutes into my grading, I heard my phone buzzing on the nightstand and I reached for it. I saw Diya's ID on the screen and I didn't hesitate to pick it up.


　　"I'm engaged!" was the first words that came into my ears, her voice high and glass shattering. I didn't need to see her to know she was grinning from cheek to cheek.


　　"Oh wow, congratulations! Greg finally decided to put a ring on it."


　　"He did! I'm over the moon with excitement!" she squealed.
