The Challenge Two Alphas, One Girl

Fang’s POV

My wolf-less sister thought she was the sh*t now because two alphas wanted to f*ck her. I would show her. I had no idea where Maze’s surge of overprotectiveness had come from. Thaddeus was always into babying Friday from the start. I fumed. I had been sitting in a tiny bar, nursing the same drink since Maze had used his alpha voice on me.

It was midnight. I was thinking things through and I realised if Friday picked Maze, she could mess up things for me by acting the victim all the time, but if she picked Thaddeus, Maze would think i was a contributing factor to Friday wanting to leave Marigold. I smashed my glass to pieces, startling the bartender. He didn’t say anything. He recognised me as the Beta. He was smart enough to know his place. Either way, Friday was going to mess it all up for me. I sighed. Getting rid of her would be hard. I would be such an obvious suspect. Those two alphas would want blood if their little prize was snatched from their clutches. I’d have to forgo getting rid of her for now. She was too well looked after. One suitor or the other would notice her missing for more than five minutes and that would be it.

The only other option was to get in her good graces. I wasn’t lying when I told her I didn’t completely hate her. I certainly didn’t love her: she was a disgrace and an embarrassment to the Fenestra family name but now she was cherished goods. So, I would cherish her too until I came up with a better plan.

Thaddeus’ POV

Finally, another day with my sweet Friday. I was upset about her arousal for Maze yesterday but I was prepared to forgive her. She could not help feeling things for both of us because neither mate-bond had been severed. I remembered how furious Maze was the day I first met Friday. He had smelled her arousal for me and came bursting in the door. I sighed. I had a surprise for my little Luna, to help her feel like a real werewolf. Wolf-less or not, she belonged with wolves. Her parents were werewolves, her father a jerk but still a Beta, her eldest brother a psychopath but still a Beta too and both of her fated mates Alphas. She was surrounded by powerful werewolves for a reason. There was power within her too even if she never phased.

I thought back to Maze jacking Fang up against the wall. At least, Maze and I were seeing eye to eye these days. I walked into the Alpha dining room bright and early surprised to find Theo and Fang there. Maze was behind his newspapers. My sweet little Friday was still sleeping. I wanted to go kiss her awake and see her cute little expression of surprise when she woke to find me adoring her first thing in the morning. There was no rule saying I could not just cuddle her in bed all day as long as I did not technically mate or mark her. However, that would take great restraint the more bedroom time we spent together.

pulled Theo into a bear hug. He actually lifted me off the ground. I laughed uproariously. Theo was an incredibly strong Beta, especially to lift my seven-foot self. I always won at arm wrestling though ever since we were cubs. I was his Alpha after all. I ignored Fang on principle. I muttered “Good morning” to Maze.

“What’re you doing here, beast?” I asked Theo.

Theo laughed. “Fang woke me up at the crack of dawn to go on a hike and then he suggested we have breakfast with you two and Friday.”

What? I did not trust Fang one bit. He’s up to something, I mind-linked Theo. Yeah, I know, Thaddeus, but I figured I’d oblige him so I can keep an eye on him, said Theo. Ok, sure, just remember Friday’s safety is the top priority so if any of his suggestions involve him

to wear for a daytime date with Thaddeus. I knew he was angry about my arousal for Maze yesterday. I needed to take his mind off of that. My body, mind and heart were really craving him so I didn’t want any of this day wasted on talking about yesterday. I would distract him with this dress. It was a white lace micro mini dress with short sleeves and a sweetheart neckline that showed some cleavage. It was fitted at the waist then flared out playfully.
