Xander

What the hell was happening to me?! I was so puzzled by Julia's eyes since I met her, her smile killed me gingerly, I've even forgotten that I know nothing about love. John was right, Julia could turn at making anyone fall in her love without doing anything. I could bet that girls and guys all around her chase her.

 But hell no.  I have no interest in her, and I could resist her glimmer eyes. Do I? Really? I should try it. But I was sure it would be so hard.

That was weird. But she was exceptional, so glorious, charming like a puppet, her face like strawberry candy, and her lips reminded me with a lollipop, god I have to handle myself, I was a capable Alpha, heartless as well. I didn't believe in love and mating bond! What if she was my real mate?!

 I have to put my stern mask to bury that affection. For me, she was like a doll, and seriously every time I glanced at her, I felt like I was drooling and wanted to touch her pink lips. I've never felt the same towards any girl. She was different, but I bet that she hates me now because I kept staring at her lovingly and boldly, but I was trying to hide what I feel. I was so confused for god sake that I was even talking to my wolf right now.

I didn't search for my mate ever! So, I thought I was mate-less.

"Hey, you!" Julia bawled out my name. I just neglected her, and I was struggling to act as sturdy as I used to. But the wildfires of my body started to light up once she clutched my arm and I was going to stumble and fell, but she grabbed me tightly to hold me.

 But I think she was so tiny to lift my body. Once her fingers touched mine, I felt the blushing all over her face. Maybe she liked it or something. I knew nothing about her, but she was the most beautiful creature that I have ever seen and trust me, I have seen a lot.

I was not heavy or overweight, but I was tall, and I have biceps and triceps, actually my body full of muscles. I had been working out, my body since forever. Besides that, I was practicing as an alpha warrior. A daily if I have free time.

 All my life was involved with my work and the fights and my pack, and I do have a gym in my packhouse and my office and another one inside my house.

 Yeah, I don't have much time to go out. And I slipped over her, and we tossed several times and flipped on her at the end, my lips brushed her lips, I broadened my eyes, clearing my throat. And she just blushed. I plastered on my place, peering at her as if I was going to chew a piece of her. I bet she noticed, and she was barely breathing and nervously tucking a strand over her hair back to his ear.

I just wanted to touch her smooth face with my fingers at that moment. I eagerly wanted to move my fingers through her long silky hair.

'Hello! Wake up, Xander. You are not fucking in need of love. Remember that.' I snapped myself in my mind.

Julia interrupted my thoughts with her sweet voice, "I'm sorry, I just wanted to stop you—" Julia rolled her eyes in an unstable way sputtering. Why does she look so shy this way? Might she be feeling something towards me like I do? What the hell I was still doing over her body until that moment? Why do I feel so warm and that I want someone to force me to stand up, or I will adhere to her body for a long time? I trailed my hands to her thighs uncontrollably then pulled it back when she blinked stunningly.

I bet she was saying that I'm insane or I'm provoking her right now. Oh great! My reputation will be in the mud soon because of her. I am just hoping that she won't think of me stupidly.

I furrowed my eyebrows like a jerk with no single word, and my tongue was twisted as if I was paralyzed, great now Julia thinks that I hate her, what an awful way to get close to a girl you like.

"Oh, what's going on here, brother? Did we interrupt something?" John smirked and chuckled. I could see the evil thoughts in my brother's eyes, 'something fishy.' That was what he thought about us.

I stood up and brushed my clothes, skipping all the eyes around me. I didn't even help Julia to stand up. It was not because I was ignoring her; I just wanted to do, not touch her again to have much time to calm down myself. Admittedly, I was in heat!

 I was sure that the only impression she drew about me in her mind that I was Stupid, Jerk, Asshole, Arrogant, Selfish Alpha!.

"What are you doing here?" I gazed at my brother John, while I was rubbing my jeans.

And then I caught sight of Tamara coming too "Oh, I see, I guess you are getting close now, both of you didn't wait for us to come," I mocked with a sheepish grin.

"Are you okay?" Julia touched my chest. Back off, please. What was that? Her touch and her worriedly look made my heart flutter! What was wrong with me?

I hopped away from her, "Hey, don't touch me! I don't like these kinds of games. I furrowed my eyebrows hollering at Julia. What the hell I was doing again! I scared her! She will never touch me ever again for the rest of my life. Julia hung up her mouth open, shocked from what I just said at her.

I spun my head and peeked at Julia, and she was cemented in her place, she dropped her jaw and widened her eyes in a dumbfounded look in disbelief. Then she strolled away with a face full of irritation, she was huffing and puffing and knocking the stone by her legs.

If I were in her shoe, I would do the same and maybe more. But she didn't complain or yell or anything. She just decided to let it go as it has never happened and to be honest, to anyone else they could say I was overreacting.

"Julia! Wait for me!" Tamara shouted her name. But she didn't even glance back at her. She rushed to Julia and wrapped her arms around Julia's shoulder. I wanted to follow Julia and stop her, she was like a magnet for me, but I blew a deep breath away, controlling myself.

I didn't need any scandal, and I would love to keep my dignity. What if she didn't accept my apology. Besides, I have never said sorry for anyone in my life before, and it will be tough for me to blow it out of my mouth. I would like to die and never say it.

John tapped on my back, "Great brother. A powerful Alpha and successful businessman! But useless at love. And scared to death to fall in love." John muttered.

"Love! What love? What are you talking about?" I stuttered, rolling my eyes. Seriously? Could it be love? Why didn't I think of Julia like that? Maybe my dignity deceived me at that time and prevented me from accepting it. Perhaps it was love from the first sight. But No— No way— That would never happen.

John shrugged his shoulders and chuckled teasingly, and then he ran in front of me to follow Julia and Tamara.

 I'm in love?! How and when? My confusion appeared on my face to the degree that made my little brother notice! Oh god! Why did  I come here again from the beginning? I was whispering in my mind, the ideas hammering in my head. 'Lost that was me at that point.'

Finally, I followed them, but I was almost dragging my feet hesitantly. I didn't know how I would face Julia, but I didn't have another option.

 I was acting rude, and that was me and that's what I used to be, nothing and no one could change the lousy Alpha inside me. But that time I was not sure at all.

The few minutes I was in the lead, And I showed them our table, a restaurant on the beach with a vast amazing bar, alcohols from all over the world.

 All kinds of wine and whiskey make your eyes dizzy and glimmer once you lay your eyes on the bar. It could make any alcoholic person jump in happiness like crazy to the bar and kiss the bartender for having all those treasures.

 I was not an alcoholic person or in another meaning, and I can't consider myself one of those who can't live without drinking, but I do drink whenever I want.

Julia huffed and walked to the bar and sat her perfect rounded ass on a high chair, ignoring us. 'A round ass?! For Pete! What the hell I just said?!' she started to drink, and I kept my eyes away from her.

Tamara started to stare at her sister. As if Julia was the youngest among us. But to admit it,  Julia was so cute and gorgeous. 'God! I like Julia' please I need someone to distract me from my dirty thoughts or slap my fucking face four hundred times. I guess I was falling for Julia, and that was just the beginning.

"What's wrong, Tamara?" I widened my eyes at her when I noticed that she was huffing loudly and gazing back at Julia.

She frowned, "I'm so worried about my sister, I think that guy wants to—" Tamara said and pointed to the man next to Julia.

"What guy?" I hollered, and I twirled my head to look at Julia. In less than a second, I hopped, pushing my chair away and walking towards Julia.

"Julia, what are you doing!" I raised my eyebrows, asking her aggressively.

Julia raised an eyebrow and glanced at me from her eye corner "It's none of your business, and I'm talking with my new friend," Julia murmured and slammed the wine glass to the counter in front of her.

Julia looked so tipsy. Okay, she was not a heavy drinker, and that was obvious to the blind— What did she get drunk from just a glass of wine? Or maybe she didn't ever drink before. But what was the reason that made a girl who didn't ever drink in her life to try that now? Maybe because of me.

And a man came close to Julia touching her thighs and then wrapped his arms around Julia's waist, that guy mumbled "As she has informed you, I'm her new friend! Don't be joy killer; care about your own business." This guy said to me while he was giving Julia a craving look and that was definitely such a dirty look I was so sure.

Suddenly, out of the blue Julia hopped from the chair pushing the guy in less than a second, "Hey, you, what are you doing?! Don't touch me!" Julia shouted at the guy with a warning tone.

I don't know what happened to me, and I rounded my fist angrily. My veins jumped out of my arms, and my eyes widened shockingly. I didn't control myself, and I punched the guy in his face several times, making him fall to the floor, hitting his head on the chair.

John and Tamara rushed towards us "What's going on?" they both questioned in the same breath. Now they were asking? Oh great! They were both so stupid.

"John, walk with Tamara into her room, see both of you in the morning, "I commanded John with a stern tone. I didn't give a shit to the guy who was bleeding and lost his consciousness on the floor, and I wouldn't care at all, if he wanted to sue me, then I would love to put him in jail for the rest of his life. 'Why? What made me so angry? I'm not Julia's boyfriend. '

Then I dragged Julia from her arm rushing to my suite. She tried to untie her wrist from my tight grip, but I didn't let her go.

I slammed the door behind us and locked the door with the key pushing her in front of me.

Ignoring every word she said to me, she was swearing and insulting and yelling at me. I flipped her on my back and walked upstairs to the room Until I pushed her to the washroom.

 I pushed her head a bit under the water then, I opened the cold water holding her tightly. She was shivering from the cold water. But I didn't want her to be in a hangover and suffer from an intense headache later.

 I would love to punish her for that. But I have no right to do so. I dried her head by the towel, and suddenly I felt her warm breath and her eyes staring at my lips. I cleared my throat, then I dragged her to the bed, and I pushed her.

She blinked, throwing me with wondering looks, but I threw her back with daggers and accusing ones "Now, you sleep here. And don't think that I will allow you to drink ever again!" I hollered sternly with all my sternness, and my chest was going up and down, I didn't know why I was so angry like that and I didn't mind to stop myself either— She flinched and crawled back on the bed a few steps away from me.

Then she smiled and gestured to me to come closer to her.

She grabbed my hand towards her and wrapped her arms around my neck. I shivered and cleared my throat." What do you want?" I stared at her. I tried to act coldly as much as I could.

"Help me to take off all my clothes, I want to sleep naked tonight," Julia said to me in a whisper sexy tone. 'That girl will be the reason for my death.' I sighed and rubbed my face trying to control my feelings.

She insisted and pestered me like pups. So I found myself helping her to take off her clothes piece by piece. I tried not to look at her, but even so, I couldn't.

She was biting her lips spontaneous, and that made me erected as iron. That was weird.

Finally, Julia fell asleep after leaving nothing on her body, and I covered her with the blanket. Not because she might catch the flu. But because I didn't want to look at her sexy body. She hugged me tightly, pleading to me to cuddle her.

 And I felt like I was swinging and dizzy lining in heaven. That was the most relieving and comfortable feeling ever. That was something different, and I had never done that before.

I used to fuck until reaching my climax, but nothing more. I didn't feel I would like the touch of any woman I was making out with her before. But Julia's touch was different and desirable. That girl could make an Alpha with a stone heart like me melt.

"Xander? Do you believe in mating bonds?" she whispered before going into a deep sleep.

I sighed, "No, Julia. I didn't before— But, now I do believe in that. Because you are my mate," I blew a breath away, and I fell asleep in the most comfortable night full of soft, adorable dreams.
