Book:Caught Between Two Alphas Published:2024-5-1

Austin
I got to the courthouse and met everyone assembled with Mr Carlos ranting.
“You can’t expel my daughter” Mr Carlos shouted.
I sat in my seat at the top of the table. “Why did you call his meeting, is there anything important to discuss?” I asked angrily.
“It is about Barbie” The shaman said calmly.
“Yes, I expelled her, is there any problem?” I asked looking at the fuming Mr Carlos.
“Why would you expel my daughter because of a commoner?!” Mr Carlos shouted standing up.
“I expelled her because she defiled the rules. She had defiled the rules several times and I’ve overlooked those times but not anymore. Doesn’t she understand what’s written in the rules?” I asked arrogantly looking at Mr Carlos.
“I said it then, you should never have been made Alpha. Brooklyn should have been made Alpha!” Mr Carlos shouted and half the court members nodded with approval.
Stupid hypocrites.
“Well if that’s what you want, You’re free to create another pack. I don’t give a fuck if you don’t like me. I am the Alpha and nothing changes the fact that your Brooklyn is still below me!” I yelled, standing up and everyone kept quiet.
“Austin, calm down, let’s think of a better way to punish her” Uncle Harry said and I sat down back.
“How about you suspend her for some weeks?” the shaman suggested.
“She will be suspended for two weeks and she will apologise to the victim” I said and everyone looked at me with shock.
“She’s worthless and never would my daughter apologise to a commoner” Mr Carlos said angrily.
“Never call her worthless if you don’t wanna get on my bad side” I said producing an ice ball as my eyes change colour.
“Austin, calm down, she’s gonna apologise” the shaman said, I left and they began murmuring. I drove to a restaurant and ordered waffles.
I took it home and enter her room, she was awake already and she raised her head when she saw me.
“How do you feel?” I asked, sitting beside her.
“I… I… fe.. el… fi. ne” Ariana stuttered. I gave her the waffles and she ate them.
“Let’s go somewhere” I said.
“Where sir?” Ariana asked.
“Somewhere, let’s just go” I said as I held her hand and together we walked out, I opened the front seat door and she sat down.
I drove to a mall and we entered she was surprised.
“Let’s go to the clothes section then I will get you a new phone and I’ll get your number back” I said as she open her eyes wide in shock.
She looks funny, my net worth is 422 million while Brooklyn’s is 394 million and the whole business’s net worth is 18 biillion which is kept for future use. So what’s 20 million that I can’t spend in a day?” I thought as I laughed.
We got to the cloth section and I told her to pick the clothes she liked. she walked to a knee-length gown and stared at it with longing eyes.
She checked the price tag and used her hand to cover her mouth. I laughed at the way she behaved and went to check the price tag.
“70 thousand dollars” I read out and laughed.
“Take it if you want it” I said and she looked at me with shock.
“Sir, it’s more than a quarter of my salary” Ariana said, looking at me with amazement.
“I know, 70 thousand dollars is little. The phone I got you costs $500, 000” I laughed and she pretended to like one who wanted to faint but I held her.
“Stop acting funny, it means nothing” I said and she panted like one hyperventilating.
I took the cloth and told her to choose the ones she admired.
She took just two clothes. “These are enough sir” She said and I stared at her.
“Let’s go to the other section, you need lots of good dresses” I said and dragged her to where lots of matching outfits were.
She opened her mouth with surprise and I sighed. She just doesn’t understand some things.
I took out five pairs and she returned 4. “Stop acting this way, I can spend 15 million in a day so what’s a few thousand” I queried and she let out a deep breath.
“Stop returning the clothes okay?” I said and she nodded.
I took 6 pairs and we went to the reception. “Oh, we forgot shoes and jewellery” I uttered and dropped the clothes, I dragged her to where her shoes were.
I took a pair of flats on, bent down and removed her shoes, I admired her cute little toes before wearing the new ones.
It looks beautiful on her, I replaced her second foot also and kept her old one aside.
I took 4 pairs then we to the cashier. “Sir it’s a total of 1. 8 million” The cashier said and I gave her my credit card while Ariana kept staring at me.
Ariana
I was shocked when Austin gave his credit card to the cashier. Such an outrageous amount and he’s willing to pay without bulging.
“Now let’s go get your phone” He said, leaving the cloth behind. He was acting strange and carefree, what’s wrong with him now?.
We got to the phone booth. “I want the best phone available” He instructed.
“Sir what company would you like?” The attendant asked.
“The best company with the best product between iPhone, poco and Samsung” Austin replied and the attendant nodded and then left.
He came back with a Samsung galaxy, one different from my old one.
“I bought a Samsung galaxy earlier, is it better than this?” Austin queried.
“Yes, this was released a week ago, it’s the latest” The attendant replied and Austin brought out his credit card.
“Please how much does it cost?” I asked curiously.
“It costs 2 mill…” The attendance was saying when Austin coughed and glared at him.
“Wait, you mean 2 million?” I inquired with astonishment, Austin just collected the phone and his credit card then we went back for the clothes and to his car.
He drove to a mountain with a fountain and I was surprised it was getting dark, aren’t supposed to be heading home he stepped out and I followed him to the fountain.
He breathed in the fresh air. “This is life” He said.
I must confess, this place is so cool and quiet, the best place for a coup… No friends. I looked around, the fountain was flowing from a hill and the water is so pure.
The place we stood at was rocky ground, flowers were at its side and a cave was across. “What do you think about this place?” Austin asked.
“It’s lovely sir, how did you find this place?” I retorted and he just smiled.
“I got it as a departing gift for someone special” He replied with a distant look. My mind drifted to Nicole.
I nodded and we sat down together on the stone and soon, his head fell on my shoulder.
I stared at his face and my heartbeat increased. He looks handsome and breathtaking. His face was smooth without freckles.
I gazed at his lips and remembered the day he kissed me. With a sigh, I looked around as several thoughts ran through my head.
It got dark and I woke him up. He rose lazily and brought put his phone, switched on the flashlight.
He started the journey to the house. “What would you like for dinner?” He asked, looking at my face.
“Anything would be nice” I replied, having no choice in my mind.
“That’s a Tacko truck, would you like some?” He implored as he stopped the car.
We got out and he ordered four take out. He paid and I took it to the car.
We got home and I took the clothes inside while he brought the tacko. I cake down and had my dinner before retiring to bed.
Ariana woke up, went downstairs and met Austin taking coffee and toast. “Good morning sir” She said and he nodded, then she went to the store and got the brush.
She went to the sitting room and Jayden glared at her. “Return the brush, a cleaner would come to take care of the house” He instructed and Ariana was stunned.
“Yes.. yes sir” She stammered as she went back. She went upstairs, had her bath, dressed in a pink matching top and skirt then took her backpack.
She went down and saw Austin dressed in white two-piece clothes. “Wow, he looks cute” Ariana thought looking at him.
He started at Ariana with lustful eyes. “I didn’t think you would go to school today” Austin said and she smiled.
“I’ve skipped school for too long” She answered and they both left for school.
Austin drove to school and Ariana stepped out of the car, everyone was shocked, few took pictures while some chattered.
“Let’s go” He said as they walked inside, ignoring the looks they got.
Ariana entered her class and everyone was quiet. “She came with Austin to school, I wonder who she is to him” One girl whispered.
Candy came inside furiously, she walked to Ariana’s seat, and everyone stared at them. She slapped Ariana’s face hard and everyone gasped.
“You bitch!. I don’t give a fuck if my brother likes you but I won’t sit and watch you take my Austin. He’s mine and I’ll do anything to protect what’s mine” Candy said with rage
“What is wrong with this girl? How is Donald nice and she the complete opposite?” Ariana thought as she saw Candy walk out.
Austin went to Ariana’s class and was irritated with the lustful looks he got from girls. Ariana’s head was on her locker.
He touched her hair and she raised her head. He gave her the phone and she beamed with excitement.
He left and everyone started mumbling. Someone identified the phone as the latest Samsung galaxy S22+ and posted it in the group.
Everyone began making comments about how she met Austin. Her phone beeped and it was a message from Austin to the group, saying Candy and have been suspended for a week. Everyone was amazed because of a commoner, he suspended 5 students.
Austin was in his office when Candy barged in. “No, you can’t do this” Candy said with years rolling down her cheeks.
“Vacate the school premises and when your suspension is over, you would apologise to Ariana in public” Austin said coldly and Donald walked in.
“What’s up man?” Donald said, ignoring his sobbing sister.
“Cool and you?” Austin retorted as he diverted his attention to the files on his desk.
“Nice, came to ask for a favour. Candy get put or the guard would show you the way” Donald angrily and Candy walked out dejected.
“Dude, I want Charlotte to be transferred to this school, I’ll pay the bills but you’d make it seem like a scholarship” Donald said, sitting on the couch at the far end of the office.
“Hmm.. why do you want her transferred?. You sure you ain’t feeling something deep down in your heart?” Austin countered with a grin.
“Common dude! She deserves to be compensated. She left her school, job and house for Ariana” Donald emphasized, using hand gestures.
“Fine, I’ll offer her a scholarship, are you happy now?” Austin inquired with a smirk.
“Partially, I’ll come to get my stuff at your house, I’m moving into my house” Donald announced.
“You hate it, why the sudden decision?” Austin questioned with confusion.
“I hated it because I’m lonely but now I’ll try getting a Rommie” Donald declared and Austin laughed.
“You mean CHARLOTTE!. Do you think she’s gonna move in with you after having sex?” Austin jeered at Donald.
“Don’t be confident, if I want her I’ll get her” Donald boasted.
“Don’t be too confident, she’s ignoring you” Austin let out and Donald’s mood dropped.
“I’m not trying to get her on my bed again, I just wanna help her since she’s deserted” Donald explained and Austin nodded thoughtfully.
“You’re a good guy and I’m sure if she moves into your house, you’ll seduce her and soon she’ll be on your bed” Austin taunted and Donald threw a pillow at him.
“I bet you’re also cooking up a plan to have Ariana” Donald said.
“Oh please, she’s just my maid” Austin replied and Donald laughed at him.
“Yes, she’s your maid with a hot body, just the way you like” Donald taunted and Austin threw an ice ball at him.
“I’m not good at throwing balls but I can do this” Donald said, and used his tickling powers to tickle Austin who was laughing loudly.
“Please stop, I accept whatever you say” Austin leader in between laughs.
