TAMING THE PLAYBOY ALPHA - Chapter 115: Chapter 115

: AWFUL TRUTH
SILAS' POV:
I knew it from the moment the temptation came in... the sight of the creamy skin on her neck calling out to me, the craving burning from within to close the distance and claim her.
I knew it from the moment she looked up at me with those fierce brown eyes, with her lips slightly ajar from my lustful confession...
I knew it from the moment her lips pressed against mine that I could never let go of her.
That I want her all to myself.
My entire being craved her to be mine alone, and the thought of having anything but that made me go insane.
I had tried to do the sensible thing, stay away so she could be safe... warn her of my terrible intentions towards her body... yet she hadn't run.
Wkept running into the other as well, so fuck all that. Fuck it all.
I want Freya. I don't know how to have her yet, but I do.
So, when the chance to kiss her crazy came, I took it, devouring every inch of her soft supple lips, sucking on that tongue that should only make my name.
I had completely lost my mind and wanted to take all and more till her phone rang... followed by the look of horror on her face and then, she had mentioned Adam.
That fucker.
And just when she was panicking to get out of the situation and leave before we get caught, they show up...
Adam and Elena.
Now, they sit right in front of us, eyes widened with a mixture of horror and confusion. Elena seems shocked but isn't fazed. She knows how I feel about Freya at this point.
Though the look of annoyance is there, she doesn't look as pissed as Adam.
He looks livid.
I'm unfazed by it all, wanting them to know. Unlike Freya, I do not care.
But she does.
She looks between the two, from Elena's dissatisfaction to Adam's death stare, but his glare is solely directed at me.
From the looks of it though, she seems to assume he's pissed at her.
She takes her arm that had been dragging me off my arm in haste, and it hurts. Physically, my heart burns.
I reach out to take it again but she's suddenly running out the library, hiding her face in shame.
It pisses me off. I want to force Adam and Elena to look the other way and not make her feel so horrible, but that's not possible.
Now, I feel like shit.
"Elena..." Adam says, taking short deep breaths to calm himself. "Excuse us."
She raises a brow at the command, standing up from her seat to face him.
"Excuse you... I'm an Alpha, you don't get to talk to me like "
"GET OUT NOW." He repeats in a more commanding tone.
She scoffs, picking up her bag.
"Just so you know, I'm only leaving because I do not want to watch this unfold." She says and turns to me with a more sincere smile. "Good luck, Silas." She says, turning to leave.
I don't need luck. If anyone needs those, it would be
Adam.
Once she leaves, it take less than a second for me to be suddenly pinned up against the shelf of books behind me.
The shelf is sturdy enough to hold from the sudden assault but books come crashing from their positions.
I remain staring back at him without blinking or a flinch. He needs to do more than this to threaten me.
"You bastard." He seethes, bringing his face so close to mine.
"Watch how you speak to your future Alpha." I warn.
"Alpha my ass... you know that's not what this is about, fucker."
He lets go, finally putting more space between us. I take my time to dust my crumpled shirt.
"Oh... about how I made out with my girl in the back, right?" I stress on the words that show possession, smirking all the same.
"The same girl you rejected and humiliated in front of the whole school. You left her when she needed you, and I was the one who stood by her all this time!"
"And now, you're bitter because it's become clearer that she'd still choose me over you." I point out crudely.
He growls like a beast about to be let out of it's cage.
"Fuck you, Silas. Fuck you for thinking you can always have what you want just for fun... She's not an object, she's a person!"
"I know that... I know just how valuable Freya is, especially now that I've lost her, but I am willing to do anything to get back in her good books after I find some way to make it work."
"That's a lie, Silas. You're a monster, incapable of caring for someone else asides yourself. You're selfish and you do things without considering how the other person feels. That's what this is about... having something because it's freed itself of you." "Yada Yada... you're acting all humble and dignified, but it seems that you have forgotten how this whole shit-fest began."
"Silas..."
"You fuck around as much as I do, if not more, and you chose girls as bets all the time."
"I'm a different person."
"You chose Freya to be the next target, and the only reason both of you became friends in the first place was because you wanted to shag her before I did and win the bet." I point out coldly. "Whatever, Silas... The main point is that the bet is off, okay? Just give up. You wouldn't even have gotten close to Freya if I hadn't pointed it out. Leave her the fuck alone."
At this junction, I lose my shit, leaping towards him just as he had done to me, only this time I grip his puny neck in one arm and lift him up, his feet showing him exactly what true power felt like. Unlike him, my power was a force to be reckoned with. I show him just how much of a threat I could be if I wanted to... if he dares warn me to stay away from her... if he dares to covet what is mine.
The thought of it makes me mad, and I'm seconds away from shifting into my wolf and giving him a few pieces of my mind before there's the sound of something clattering to the floor that momentarily distracts me, and I smell her.
I know she's there and my eyes find her immediately.
I had been too occupied by rage to notice when she had shown up, and I begin praying she hadn't heard any of it...
Any of the awful truths we had revealed.
But her lower lips tremble and her eyes are choked up with tears that spill down her cheek.
I toss Adam aside and take a step towards her, but she turns in the other direction, running.
"Freya. Wait!" I yell out but she doesn't answer.
FREYA'S POV:
We've been caught.
There's no way they don't know what we've done, not with the scowl on Elena's face and the blood thirsty glare...on Adam
A huge blow is dealt to my heart, and the weight of my guilt triples in size.
Does he hate me now?
I can't stand it... the silent stares from everyone, like the entire world is judging me... and so, I run.
I hang my head low shamefully and run away like a coward, instead of trying to console Adam or explain things to Elena. I escape, leaving Silas to deal with the aftermath of my poor choices.
I run into the female lavatory close to the library, shutting the door behind me while my heart pounds and pulses wildly in my chest.
My cold and sweaty hands shiver.
I'm too scared to face Adam but I know I must eventually, and it wouldn't be fair to ignore him for my own peace...
I didn't want to be that kind of person.
I had already made myself out to be the girl that makes out with guys that have girlfriends and aren't interested in them...
I don't want to make my reputation worse.
I take deep breaths, deciding to douse my head in water to get my thoughts together and figure out how to fix the mistake I had created.
The doors pull open and Elena walks in. Sashays, to be correct.
Pushing her hips out in the most extravagant way possible, and I tense up immediately. Without a word, she casually walks up to the sink right next to mine, pulling out her lip gloss to be re- applied.
I watch her from the corner of my eye while she does all this silently. For the first time, she's not calling me out for trying to take her man or how much I'm wasting my time with Silas, which makes me more nervous.
So, I clear my throat.
"Look, I'm not so much of a bad person to not admit that I did something wrong. I want to apologize for what happened and your hate for me is justified."
She says nothing for a while, taking time to reapply that gloss before she drops it from her mouth, closing the little tube.
"You don't need to apologize, Freya. It's typical Silas after all. If he hadn't approached you first, this wouldn't be happening." She says casually, still obsessing over her looks.
"Oh..." I say, looking back at my reflection again.
"Actually, the one who needs to apologize in this situation is me." "What?" I'm more confused than ever. I turn to her now and meet her eyes. She's finally looking at me, and it's with this unaffected tired glance that rubs me off the wrong way. "I feel sorry for you actually." She explains.
I sigh, getting the sense of what she's trying to do.
"C'mon, Elena, let's not do this right now." "No... this is something you'd actually want to hear.
Sad part is it's not even your fault, that's just Silas for you. He has this magnetic pull that draws in all of his prey. When he sinks his fangs into any of them, it's always hard for them to break free. Why do you think
I get rid of them after?"
"What the fuck are you saying?" The more she speaks, the more confused I am.
"Gosh, you really can be daft. I'm not going to spell the entire thing out for you. You can ask Silas... or better yet, ask Adam, the guy you want to move on with."
"Can you stop with all the word play here?" "Of course not. Either way, I end up with Silas. I'm just here for the chaos."
She smiles wickedly, dropping her gloss back into her bag. With a hair flip my way, she turns toward the door and leaves the same way she had walked in, but pauses just before she walks out.
"Goodbye... I doubt there's going to be a group meeting today."
Then she slams the door shut, leaving me there. Her words were vague and leave this ominous feeling stirring in the pit of my gut. Then again, I hadn't expected a normal conversation with Elena. More and more, I know for a fact that she and I could never be cordial with the other, but what does this have to do with Adam asides the fact that I had potentially broken his heart? Without an answer in sight, I gather up all the courage I can muster and step out, walking back into the library.
It's already clear that getting over Silas would be hard and falling for Adam would be even harder, but I was willing to try, for our friendship.
I was willing to put the past behind me to make things work.
"... only reason you both are friends is because you wanted to shag her before I did and win." I hear Silas just as soon as I approach them.
It seems like they are in a heated argument again. I feel another wave of guilt again, knowing I might have caused it.
I take a step forward to intervene, but pause at the next words that roll off Adam's mouth. "... the main point is that the bet is off, okay? Just give up. You wouldn't even have gotten close to Freya if I hadn't pointed her out. Just leave her the fuck alone."
I freeze instantly as the words settle in.
Silas lunges forward to grab him, but the reality around me already begins to crumble quickly as the words replay in my mind over and over again. Suddenly, Elena's words of being a prey finally begins sinking in, and I realize even more what they mean. I was just a bet that both Adam and Silas made?
The pen I had been holding in my hand drops and Silas stops, turning to me, realizing that I'm here and fear becomes evident in his eyes... but I don't care any more.
I turn around and run away before he can stop me.
