All Chapters of I Slept With My Alpha's Enemy : Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Dove povSteam swells around me, casting a ghostly hue throughout the bathroom. Between my legs is a still healing mark, although Matthias' gaze is trained too closely on my breasts to notice."I'm going to spend some time between your legs, then I'm going to bend you over and fuck the thought of that Alpha out of your pretty little head," he promises, wandering closer."I like the sound of that."I bite down on my lip to pull back my smile as I turn the taps off and step into the bath. My steps are purposeful, keeping the mark hidden as I slowly sink into the deliciously warm water.This feels new again, exciting. There is a reason why Matthias has seduced me for so long, and I'm starting to remember it again.I just need to keep my eyes open, for every time I close them, a certain dark eyed Alpha comes to mind."It's driven me insane not seeing you, seeing that body." He rests his shoulder against the doorframe, his eyes running like hands across the parts of me that aren't covered

Dove povI could listen to Deven sing forever.His rich, melodic voice drifts through the cramped bar, fighting for notoriety against the murmuring wave of voices. Tonight he only sings, but he is an equally talented dancer.The sound of the battering rain outside only accents his voice. Still, I hear a few wavering notes that betray is wariness.He hates performing in old bars like these. The crowd is entirely uninterested in his half naked form, glittering attire and bold coloured hair. He feels insecure standing atop a stack of pallets they are calling a stage, even though he's the most talented person to ever step foot in this place.I lean back against the bar, shifting uncomfortably on the solid seat while I sip from my foamy beverage.Dev wraps up his song, blotting his sweat prickled hairline with a hand towel as he bounds off the pallets. Resting my drink down, I clap for him as he wades through the half drunken crowd, drawing a tentative smile to his lips.His chest is heavi

Dove povI wince at Deven's vice grip on my arm as we walk up the stone path to Ciella's house.It feels strange being here. I'm being struck by a disconcerting sense of déjà vu, although instead of Eden walking next to me, it's my friend.All the flowers are in bloom, vivid colours sprouting out of vibrant green foliage that winds around the wooden archway that extends along the path. Petals crumple and bleed under foot, painting the pale stone in colour.We've come here to group up before heading the wedding venue.Which means I need to see Varian.I told Dev everything about what happened with Matthias, Varian and Claude...well, mostly everything. He knows I'm avoiding Varian and that Claude is a wild card that can't be trusted.He also knows about my mark. He knew I was marked, but never fathomed it belonged to Varian. Not when I would shoot down that query as soon as it came up."I think I might faint," Dev says as we start up the stairs toward the front door, his eyes drinking in

Dove povFawn Gardens is an extravagant piece of land at the heart of the city.Once we walk past the gates, it swallows us whole. Massive trees enclose the space, the city vanishing around us as we walk down the pretty cobbled path toward where the wedding ceremony will occur.There is green all around. The placement of flowers is random and wild, everything blooming as if it can sense the love between the two mates present here today. It's so beautiful emotion swells deep in my chest.This is everything Eden ever wanted, ever since we were little girls.The sun, just starting to set beyond the trees, is a stunning enough sight to distract me from Varian's stare on my back as he walks behind me with Claude.Almost.As if sensing Varian's watchful gaze, Deven sidles up closer to me as we walk, sliding his arm around my waist, tugging me until our hips brush together."I'm going to need a motivation," he says, his hand on my ribs keeping me upright as we walk over a pretty ivory bridge

Dove povFor a moment, I know peace.My sister dances in her mates arms a few paces in front of me. Soft, delicate music plays as they gaze at each other, entirely unfocused on those that watch them.This is true love. The kind of love Eden and I spoke about for so many years.Now she has it. And I'm so undeniably happy for her.We've returned to Ciella's manor for tonight's celebration. Everyone is a little tipsy, preparing for a night of debauchery that is common here in Varian's pack.The ballroom is decorated beautiful and there are plenty of drinks and food laid out. Massive doors are pulled open, revealing the outside lawn that stretches out to meet a small lake.Eden will be happy here. I envy that.My senses bristle as a figure comes to stand next to me. They raise their arm, taking a long drink from their wine flute as they watch Eden and Ciella sway to the music.I don't even need to glance over to know it's Claude."Beautiful couple, aren't they?" He muses quietly.I angle m
