Watch Me Win, Alpha

Chapter 31

Chapter 31

Alexander’s POV

I pushed Jess’s arms off me with little effort.

“What happened?” I muttered inwardly. My wolf’s voice came

low and clipped:“Someone’s behind you.”

I turned instinctively, but the deck was empty.

Jess, slightly tipsy and not hiding it well, clung to me again. Her

fingers curled around my wrist like a lifeline. “Alex, don’t be like

this. We were-”

I didn’t let her finish. My hand locked around her elbow–not

roughly, but with firm warning–and I stepped back.

“If you ever try that again,” I said, voice cool as steel, “I’ll throw

you overboard.”

She blinked, stunned. “No. You wouldn’t.”

“Don’t try me.”

She wavered, mascara smudged just enough to ruin her poise.

“It’s not my fault Rowan adores me! You broke up with me over

I sighed and pinched the bridge of my nose. She still didn’t get it.

“It’s not about Rowan. Or you. It’s about the fact that you can’t take no for an answer. Greed doesn’t suit anyone, Jess. I’ve told you–repeatedly–that relationships aren’t a contract. They’re

Her lips trembled, and for a second, I wondered if she’d collapse

into more tears or stage another outburst.

Neither option interested me.

“You need help,” I added quietly. “A therapist, maybe. Since the day I rejected you, something in you’s twisted. This isn’t love,

Jess. It’s obsession.“.
