Alex kept himself locked up on his chambers the entire day. After the argument he had with Diana, he ordered his servants to lock the main door and not let anyone in. He wanted to stay in all day and drink himself to stupor.

　　He was heartbroken and depressed.

　　He was in love with a woman who was carrying his brother's child and that woman in question was obviously in love with his brother.

　　What pained him the most was the fact that he did not want to let go of her. He wanted her from himself. Growing up, he had always gotten what he wanted. From the best toys, to the best treatment from their parents. Even when he had told his father that he wished to be an adventurer, not an Alpha, that wish of his was granted.

　　Achilles was crowned future Alpha, while he had his freedom. Even at the human world, he had whatever he wanted, from the best cars and houses to the hottest women, because he was wealthy. That's why it pained him very much to accept the fact that he could not have Bella who happened to be the only girl he had ever fallen in love with.

　　"I'm not gonna give up. I'm going to make Bella fall in love with me. I swear" He swore to himself as he walked out of his chambers. It was about nine pm in the night and wasn't drunk anymore because he had slept for the better part of the day after drinking.

　　He left his chamber for Achilles' and planned to go straight into Bella's bedroom so he could tuck her in bed. Diana had mindlinked him just a few minutes ago and asked him to join them in Achilles' office for a meeting with the pack elders, but he had declined. Instead he was on his way to Bella's chambers to meet her so they could spend some time together while the others were away.

　　When he got to her room door, he gave a gentle knock on it and stepped behind to wait for her to open up. As he waited, he looked around the hallway, praying in his heart for Achilles not to show up any time soon because if he did, things would get very messy and that's something he was trying very hard to avoid.

　　He did not want Bella to find out that he had feelings for her the wrong way.

　　"Alex" Bella's voice came through causing him to jump in surprise. He was so lost in thought that he did not hear her open the door.

　　"Bella…" He called nervously. "Uh… hi…" He greeted as he scratched the back of his head.

　　He was nervous as fuck.

　　"Hello" Bella greeted with a charming smile. "What are you doing here?"

　　*Well… the others are in some important pack meeting and I thought I should come here and tuck you in bed" He lied smoothly and Bella's smile widened.

　　His eyes trailed from her beautiful face down to her tummy and his heart fluttered when he noticed her little bump.

　　It was the cutest thing ever and he was jealous of Achilles who could touch it whenever he wanted.

　　"You… you want to tuck me in bed?" Bella asked, surprised and he carelessly shrugged his shoulders.

　　"Well… that's if you don't mind" He said, hoping in his heart that she would accept.

　　"Well, I've been having trouble falling asleep for hours now, maybe lying in your arms will help." She speculated and Alex chuckled.

　　He could not contain the joy in his heart when she invited him into his her room.

　　Once they got in, they both headed straight for the bed. Alex drew her into his big arms and kissed her forehead. His heart was drumming so hard in his chest that he was scared she would hear it. He loved the way he felt having her in his arms and he wanted that to happen every night.

　　"So, why are you not in the meeting?" Bella asked, breaking the silence.

　　"I hate those meetings, they're boring" He said and Bella giggled like a five year-old.

　　"Achilles hates them too. He always complains to me about how boring the old pack leaders were, including their ideas" she explained within fits of laughter and Alex just smiled as he stroked her hair.

　　There was never a time when he had a conversation with anyone without them bringing up Achilles.

　　He was the center of every dam thing that happened in that pack.

　　***********************************************

　　When Bella shook later that night, she noticed that she was wrapped up in very muscular arms, but she knew that person was not Achilles, because he smelt different.

　　The person in whose arms she was cuddled in was Alex. She appreciated the fact that he had showed up to tuck her in bed, but she wanted to be with Achilles, not him.

　　She took off his arm from her body as carefully as she could so as not to wake him up and slid from the bed without him noticing.

　　She gave him a gentle kiss on his forehead and tiptoed out of her bedroom, heading straight for Achilles' bedroom. When she got there, she did not bother to knock, she quietly opened up the door and stepped into the bedroom, making sure to close the door as silently as she could behind her. Her heart did a series of somersaults when she saw Achilles' familiar figure sleeping on his bed.

　　The lights were out and the only sourse of light was the lamp on the nightstand.

　　"Bella" Achilles' soft voice called and smiled hard.

　　"How did you know it was me"

　　"No one can tiptoe into my bedroom like that in the middle of the night"

　　Bella chuckled lightly and made her way to the bed.

　　"What do you want?" Achilles asked looking up at her from the bed.

　　"How dare you sleep without me?" Bella asked with a frown.

　　"I saw you in my brother's arms, you looked so peaceful and comfortable. I didn't want to disturb you" He explained quietly and she shrugged her shoulders.

　　"He tucked me in bed"

　　"I noticed "

　　"But…" She said as she slid down the tiny gown she was wearing. She was left with just her pants and bra. Achilles sat up on the bed without saying a single word and looked at her like she had lost her mind.

　　"Bella," He called with a husky voice. His eyes are not leaving her body.

　　While still smiling, Bella took off her bra and pants and got on the bed.

　　"I don't know what has come over me, but I think I will go crazy if you don't make love to me tonight" She whispered in his ear and he swallowed dryly. A heavy sigh escaped his lips when she planted a wet kiss on the side of his neck.

　　Blood rushed down to his dick and in less than no time, he was as hard as a rock.

　　"Bella… what are you doing?"

　　"You very well know what I'm doing. You know what I want… and I know you want it too" She whispered against his lips as she got on his body.

　　"Are you sure you want to do this?" He asked, just to be sure and Bella nodded her head.

　　He gently pushed the strands of hair covering her face behind and brought her face closer to him. He locked their gazes and when he saw the desire burning in her eyes, he joined their lips and they kissed hungrily.

　　The kiss was nothing compared to their first kiss and the night as a whole was the most adventurous night of their lives.
