The guys I’ve been playing with for years are Carson and Reid. The guys I thought were my friends are actually my biggest rivals.
Now it makes sense why they would go behind my back and take her for themselves. Because they’re snakes.
I’m not sure if I should be hurt or pissed, or both.
I can’t fucking believe this is happening.
They can’t fucking have her. She’s mine. My Omega! I scent-matched her first!
This changes everything. There’s no way in hell that I’m going to stand by and let them steal my girl.
If they know who Addison is, then they know who I am. They know she’s my stepsister. They’re probably reveling in the fact that they’re dating the enemy’s stepsister.
God, I hate them even more.
Stepping to the side before anyone sees me, I bring up the app to text PastelPrincess and ask her why she wouldn’t say anything about Waffle and Grim being her Alphas, or about meeting them. Maybe she really doesn't feel the same way about me, so she didn’t tell me.
But then I see a message from her.
PastelPrincess: I have a lot to think about. There’s something I haven’t told you, Waffle, or Grim. I kind of found my scent matches. It wasn’t something I was expecting, and it’s been something I’ve been coming to terms with. I like them a lot. I want to be with them, but knowing you have feelings for me as well complicates things. I don’t want to betray them by having feelings for anyone else, but I’d be lying if I said I didn’t have feelings for you, too. And not just you, Waffle and Grim. Give me time to think, time to bring this up with my Alphas. If you’re all okay with it, maybe we can work something out. I don’t know, maybe it’s silly forme to even think that we could. I gotta go. Catching a plane now. Please don’t hate me. I’m sorry. Xox
I stare at the screen, brows furrowed together. If I’m reading this right, she has no idea who Grim and Waffle are. She doesn’t know they’re the same people, Carson and Reid.
I know Addie met Carson and Reid at the gala, and knowing who they really are, it now makes sense. I saw them there.
So, if I’m getting this right, Carson and Reid met Addie, then spent the weekend with her.
Then they messaged Death as Waffle and Grim because they suspected I had feelings for her and wanted to make their claim on her, so I wouldn’t have the chance to say anything if I was planning to. Getting rid of any potential competition.
Why wouldn’t they tell Addie who they are? That they’ve been talking to her for years?
I guess I can’t say much about that. I haven’t told her either, but I have a good reason not to. I’m her stepbrother. It’s a whole thing.
What do they have to gain from keeping this a secret from her?
You know what? It doesn’t fucking matter.
This changes everything. Addie needs to know the truth. She needs to know not only who Carson and Reid are, but who I am. That we’re scent matches. No more secrets.
Maybe this is going to backfire, maybe I end up losing her. I just know I can’t play games anymore. I can’t keep lying to her. It’s too complicated, too painful.
Everything is going to be put out in the open, and I know exactly how I plan to do it.
A slow, sinister smile takes over my lips as I slip my phone away.
I told them I won’t be going down without a fight, and I meant it.
Chapter 14
Addison
Pulling up to the hotel, I’m hit with a new wave of nervous excitement. Am I crazy for getting on a plane and going to Vegas to see two Alphas I’ve only met one time?
Maybe. But they’re my Alphas. My scent matches. It’s so damn crazy to say that. Is this even real?
The guys couldn’t pick me up from the airport because they had work stuff, but wanted to meet up with me after they were done. I insisted that it was fine and I could take an Uber over. They felt bad and said I could wait for them in their hotel room.
I agreed because it’s better than waiting at the airport.
