Chapter 202 (WESLEY) Dusk sets in and the room is dark except for the nightstand. I hear the sound of the shower running. It must be Jericho. I glance at the clock on the side table. It is 7:25 pm. That means that Jericho didn’t stay out all night partying
Chapter 201 (WESLEY) I scowl. “Justin is just a friend. I already told you p> “You told me a lot of things, Wes. And most of them are lies.” He turns to face away from me. I hurry around him so that he can stop walking or run into me.
Chapter 200 (WESLEY) We drive for two hours straight. I’m gutted that now Jericho seems to despise me. The way he looks at me now is different from the way he used to when we first met. I want the warm, funny version of Jericho, not this glum, surly one.
Chapter 199 “I don’t know, Wesley. People can fool you.” I shoot him a disdainful look. He sighs frustratedly. “If you are this angry with me, then maybe you should just drop me on the side of the road p> “And let you out of my sight again? No way.”
Chapter 198 (JERICHO) “This is hard to believe, Jericho. I’m not even surprised that you don’t believe me. But trust me when I tell you that I really wanted to help Arlo. I knew that it was risky and unwise to take the position, mostly because I’m a Sawyer. But
Chapter 197 (JERICHO) “Pathetic weakling.” Danny snorts, “You’re both simps p> Wesley exhales harshly then pushes past Peter and Danny and comes to stand beside me. I’m glad that he finally listened. Even so, it is still a tricky situation. The other two are still armed, so even if we
Chapter 196 (JERICHO) “So, nothing changed? You’re still the soft hearted simp you were!” the alpha named Danny says. “I see that nothing changed, after all p> “Neither did you. You are still the violent disgusting excuse of an alpha.” Wesley’s face twitch with rage. “Just because we do what
Chapter 195 (JERICHO) I feel numb and frozen in place as I watch the ginger alpha drive away. Watching Wesley kiss that guy is probably the worst moment of my life. It’s a zillion times more painful because it is Wesley that initiated that kiss. I grip the steering wheel,
Chapter 194 (WESLEY) “I still think that you need to prepare yourself though. It is highly likely that the result will be the same.” Justin sounds much calmer than I do. I shake my head disbelievably. This all still sounds like a joke to me. “Why would the specialists tell
Chapter 193 (WESLEY) “I seem too good to be true?” Justin frowns. “You seem to be intrigued by the littlest of things. Why is that? I simply believe that it is important to treat everyone with respect and kindness. I don’t understand why that seems so monumental to you p>
Chapter 192 (WESLEY) Justin follows me into my little apartment. I’m embarrassed at how empty and drab my apartment looks, but Justin doesn’t seem to care about that. He only cares that he has eyes for me. Knowing that makes my stomach churn. I really don’t want to hurt him.
Chapter 191 (JERICHO) My heart aches as I take him in. It feels like forever since I last saw him. I feel slightly relieved at the sight of him. He is wearing a white T-shirt and a pair of jeans. My pants grow tight immediately. His hair is a bit
Chapter 190 (JERICHO) “Do you want me to make sure he goes for good? That he never comes back?” Luca asks, cracking his knuckles. “I could silence him permanently if you want p> A chill runs through my spine as I wait for Miles’ answer. “I’m not sure about that
Chapter 189 (JERICHO) I’m in Miles’ study, seated on his desk, my feet on top of the table with an unlit cigar in my mouth. I’m doing my best to play the tough mafia boss, but the truth is that I have a headache that wants to split my head
Chapter 188 (WESLEY) I study Justin, weighing between hurting him vs needing him to cheer me up. But will I get attached if I hang around him too long? “I’m just worried that you will resent me if I don’t give you enough attention?” I say quietly. “I’m worried that
Chapter 187 (WESLEY) Maybe I should try and date. Should I flirt with Justin when I see him again? Just the thought alone feels wrong. I feel like I belong to Jericho and dating other alphas will be cheating. How is that? It makes no sense. We only slept together
Chapter 186 (WESLEY) When I get home, I drag my feet to my one-bedroom apartment. I’m cold and exhausted. I should find something to eat, but the idea of eating makes me feel nauseated. I strip and put the tea kettle on. I put on some warm pajamas. Once the
Chapter 185 (WESLEY) It’s been a month since I left Miles and Arlo’s home. I’ve been waiting tables at some café called Magenta. I decided that it was necessary to change careers to avoid being tracked down. It is important to break patterns to stay away from the mob. That
Chapter 184 (JERICHO) Arlo studies me like I’m some amoeba on a petri dish. “That’s it, yeah? You’re mad because you slept together and now he left without a word p> Miles finally breaks the silence. “Please tell me you weren’t that foolish, Jericho p> “Whatever happened between me and
Chapter 183 (JERICHO) I knock on the door gently when I reach Wesley’s room. When I get no response, I push the door gently and go in. There is no sign of Wesley. I notice that his bed is made. I head into the bathroom and notice that it is
