Aimee's POV
Sweat drenched my body. Tonight felt like the wildest night that had ever happened between Alpha James and me. He pounded on me relentlessly for two hours, setting a new record for us.
Two months had passed since the incident when Alpha James got injured. Yes, Alpha James often called me or came to my room in the middle of the night. And I still needed to get used to all of this.
I was happy that we met frequently and could feel each other's touch, but sometimes he was too brutal for me to handle.
"What a great night, Aimee," Alpha James said as he put on his clothes, his smile cold. He was about to leave, but I grabbed his hand.
"What?" Alpha James looked at me cynically.
"May I kiss you, Alpha James?"
He closed and then forcefully opened the bedroom door. I flinched and felt scared. It seemed like I had said something wrong.
"What did you say? Did I hear you correctly, Aimee? You want to kiss me?"
Alpha James gripped my face tightly, his gaze no longer cynical but filled with anger.
"I'm sorry, Alpha James."
I didn't deny it. I could only apologize to Alpha James because what I said earlier was a hidden desire. What had happened between us so far was much more intimate. Although he still gave off a cold impression, I thought that if he could touch me, I could at least get a warm kiss, even if only once.
And I thought that was a good decision.
"Keep your dream to yourself, Aimee! You should know who you are! Just because I've been touching you for the past few months doesn't mean you can take advantage of me however you like! You're still a weak omega who will never be able to get close to me!"
My heart raced. I knew this wasn't something new between us. He would always be angry and belittle me, but this statement truly slapped me in the face.
Honestly, I had thought that maybe we could get a step closer, at least be friends and have conversations after doing crazy things in the bedroom.
Alpha James released his grip and walked away from me. He slammed the bedroom door again, this time even harder. The lingering scent of his body only made me feel sad and lonely.
I never expected that my love for Alpha James would grow even stronger.

I was cleaning the yard when a handsome man with a tall stature and brown hair approached me.
"Hey."
I was quite surprised and set down the plant watering can I was holding. "Um, can I help you?"
"Uh, I want to meet James. I'm his friend, Vincent, Alpha Wooden Red's pack."
Instantly, I lowered my head and said, "I'm sorry, Alpha Vincent."
"Hey, why are you apologizing to me? You have done everything correctly. I want to meet James, and maybe you can take me to him."
The stereotypes presented by Alpha James and everyone in the Black Bone's pack always made me feel like the lowest part of the werewolf caste, even among humans. I was always afraid to face powerful people like the Alphas. I was afraid to look at them.
Hearing the voice and the words spoken by Alpha Vincent sounded so beautiful to me. It felt like I was receiving a helping hand from heaven. I had never encountered someone as kind as him before. Even the omegas in this pack considered me inferior to them.
Or maybe he's being nice because he still doesn't know about my peculiarity of not being able to transform into a wolf?
"Hey, it seems like you're thinking about something."
I snapped out of my reverie. "I'm sorry, Alpha Vincent. Alright, let me take you to meet Alpha James."
Alpha Vincent threw another friendly smile. He was incredibly handsome, comparable to Alpha James. They were both captivating.
And indeed, all the women's eyes in the mansion's hall turned to Alpha Vincent. They looked radiant and excited, surely discussing Alpha Vincent's handsomeness.
I led him to the second floor, and the atmosphere became awkward when I arrived in front of Alpha James's room.
Sounds filled with passion, the moans and screams of a woman greeted our arrival. I swallowed nervously and looked at Alpha Vincent.
Alpha Vincent chuckled and remained relaxed. "He never changes. I thought he would become wiser after meeting Emilia. Let me knock on the door."
My heart felt shattered, as I had said before; even though I had become accustomed to all the strange things between Alpha James and me, my growing love made the jealousy drive me crazy. I was frustrated hearing the woman's voice inside his room. Shouldn't it be me who was in there?
Instead of subsiding, the woman's moans grew louder. I was already feeling uncomfortable and wanted to leave, but Alpha Vincent held me back and said, "Wait a moment; if he doesn't come out after I knock, we can go."
The first time a guest asked me to stay and accompany them was strange. Alpha Vincent knocked on the door again, and this time, Alpha James's voice could be heard.
"Who is it?! Can't you hear what's happening?!"
The woman's voice stopped. Alpha Vincent smiled at me and said, "It seems he'll be here soon. You can go. Thank you."
I was about to take a step to leave the area outside Alpha James's room when the door opened. Along with the wide smiles and warm embrace between Alpha James and Alpha Vincent, I could see the woman who had been making such a racket. My heart shattered even more when I realized that she was one of the omegas in this pack.
Why?
I mean, why was she there? Aren't we the same?
She was also looking at me, and she seemed panicked.
"Aimee, what are you doing?! Leave quickly!"
Alpha James shouted at me, and my already broken heart felt even more sensitive. I quickly made my way out, tears streaming down my face. It was excruciating.
