Chapter 39
Glancing at the phone, alpha Jude fumed that she still had not replied to his texts. It was almost two days since they had planned and executed, and he had hoped for positive results by now.
She had not replied to his last few messages, and he could tell that for some reason she was still hoarding the pictures and had not shown them to Alpha Damon yet.
Alpha Jude wondered why she would do that, they had seemed perfectly aligned, and she seemed to have wanted the same things as him earlier, so it was strange that she had not completed her part yet.
He fumed inwardly at the thought that she was delaying their plan and his chances of having Ava back.
The longer they spent beating about the bush, the more likely she was to tell him about the pregnancy and render his efforts useless.
Taking out his phone for the umpteenth time, he texted her again, he had never called her and did not want to start so he decided to stick to texting.
Going back to work, he willed his thoughts away from both Princess and Ava, he had to focus on work as much as he could.
But try as he may, he could not garner his thoughts away from either of them. He wanted to have Ava back as fast as possible, soonest.
And this little stunt of princess’s was threatening to ruin his chances.
When he heard a ping indicating a new message, alpha Jude reached for his phone so fast he almost dropped it.
A sigh escaped his lips when he saw the message was from her. He muttered a finally and opened the message.
A disappointed eye roll followed as he read the text message silently. “I have a few things to sort out before I show the pictures to him, I will do that as soon as I can.” It was all, the message read, and Alpha Jude felt even more disappointed than he was before the message.
What the fuck did she need to sort out that had anything to do with their initial plan. This was one of the reasons why he had wanted to do this alone, why he hated to involve people in important things.
But he had had no choice at the time, he could not do all of that alone and had hoped she was as sensible as she presented herself.
Reminding himself to not involve just anyone next time, he went back to his seat and tried to focus.
His mind went back to wondering what she wanted to sort out that had to do with him and their plan. Was she trying to change Alpha Damon’s mind about Ava? Was she accepting the fact that it would never be her?
Possible options reeled through his mind, but none of them exactly sat right with him. He got tired of guessing and just hoped she sorted it out as fast as possible and got on with the initial plans.
Princess had high hopes, alpha Damon had glanced at her more than twice in the first few hours of the day, and she felt jumpy about it.
He had even smiled at her at some point. Perhaps he was beginning to see, maybe just perhaps he was beginning to love her too.
She would have to put the initial plan on hold for a bit and see for herself if she had gotten anywhere with him after that head she pulled off.
Waiting until he was alone in his office, she snuck in. He was at his desk, head bent, I had some files as she went over them.
She admired him for a while, his focused gaze, the serious and distant look in his eyes. He seemed so engrossed in what he was doing, she was sure he did not hear her come in.
The princess sighed in adoration as she watched him, his lean fingers holding the pen so well she thought the sight of it was sexy, his rather scrawny handwriting scribbling across a section of the paper in his hand as he made corrections.
“Hi,” she finally mustered the courage to stop gawking at him and do what she came in to do.
“Princess, I did not hear you come in. How long have you been standing there?” Alpha Damon asked, his face scrunched up, confused.
“For a while, you were so focused I could not bring myself to distract you,” Princess said, sashaying towards him.
She stopped at his desk, sultrily leaning on it and giving him a full view of her luscious boobs from the plunging v-neck of her dress.
He swallowed loudly, she heard and saw it. A seductive smile crossed her face and she turned to the other side of the desk.
Perching atop it, just a few inches away from him, she crossed her legs and, again, gave him a not-so-subtle view of her thighs.
“And you look quite stressed, I could help you with that you know” Princess slurred, stretching her hands towards him and brushing off a stray strand of hair from his forehead.
Princess could tell that the more she came on to him, the harder it was for him to resist her, she was a woman after all, and she had her charms and he, on the other hand, was a man and prone to falling for her charms.
“Uhm…Princess, I was busy before you came in, as you can see. I would like to…” Alpha Damon began, but she stopped him, placing a finger on his lips and shushing him.
The finger trailed down his lips and his chest, her long nails making a little white mark on his skin. His eyes followed the finger and the princess smiled a little, finding it quite amusing.
Leaning into him, her lips found him, and she kissed him, just like she did the last time. He was not very responsive, but his eyes closed, and he kissed back for a few minutes.
But she was not backing down, princess was determined to have him, and have him she will. She persisted with the kiss, taking his lips in even more.
“Damon I…” Ava said, barging into the office. She froze in her tracks when she saw the sight that unfolded before her.
Alpha Damon pushed away from princess, who rolled her eyes at them both.
“I am so sorry, I did not know… I will just come back later” Ava said, stuttering as she found the right words to say.
Alpha Damon moved to follow her, but princess stood in his way, blocking him from moving.
“Excuse me.” He said with urgency and waited for her to move away from his front, but she did not, she just stared back at him defiantly as if asking him to do what his worst.
“Princess, move.” Alpha Damon said again, this time more urgently than the first, but she stood her ground, her hands akimbo on her chest and her hips cocked to one side.
Princess dared him with her eyes, dared him to push her, or shove her and run after Ava, but he did not. He just stared back down at her, the disgusted look in his eyes hurt a little, but she was not going to back down.
“What is it with her alpha Damon?” Princess asked, she could not hold back her tongue, she just had to ask.
“I love her princess, I am in love with her, do you understand?”
“No, no, I do not understand,” Princess said, shaking her head like it all did not make sense, and could, you understand why she would think that?
“I thought you might have figured it out by now, princess I love you as a friend, my best friend, but that is all it would ever be, that is as far and as much as you will ever get.” Alpha Damon spat at her.
Princess’s gaze faltered, she could not believe her ears. He had said these exact words many times with his actions, but hearing him say them out loud to her was a different kind and level of pain.
“I… I love you Damon, I always have, and I know you did too. I could swear you did too, before Ava came into the picture,” Princess said, so sure of herself.
“No, Princess. I never loved you romantically, ever. And I never will, not in this lifetime and not in another. It will always be Ava,” Alpha Damon said, stressing every word of the last part, he wanted to drill it into her skull.
Walking past her, he headed for the door, he was running back to Ava, which was all Princess could think of. He just said all those hurtful things to her and walked out.
She felt her heart break, Into so many fragments she was scared she would be scared for life, maybe this was all she needed to keep the plan rolling.
Taking out her phone, she texted Alpha Jude.
