Alpha’s Baby(27)

Chapter 14





Bella





I spent the next two weeks of hell pretending to be Jace’s girlfriend. I made sure that we were always in a very public place when we were seen together, because I was afraid to be alone with him.

Still, Jace repeatedly tried to make out with me and get me to go back to his frat room, and I would have to remind him that our relationship was just for show.

Unfortunately, that only made him try harder.

He'd argue that our relationship would seem fake if we were never even seen kissing once. I knew he would never stop there, and I told him to keep dreaming.

To get back at me, Jace began parading me in front of all of his fraternity brothers, who, not surprisingly, were almost as obnoxious as him.

Luckily for me, the school was supposedly bringing the investigation to a close, so my faux relationship with Jace was fast coming to an end. Jace also realized that I would be ditching him soon, so his attempts at getting me in the sack became a bit more desperate.

Every day when classes were over, Jace would invite me back to the Alpha frat house for a drink and to just ‘hang out’, and every day, I would decline.

The main reason he wanted to sleep with me was for bragging rights and to get back at Stefan in some weird, sick way. Of course, if I went back to the Alpha frat house with him, Stefan would surely see us both together, which is what Jace probably wanted. He wanted to retake his position as alpha in the house, and triggering a fight with Stefan would be the easiest way to do it. I didn’t want to give him that chance.

Still, I’d wind up in serious trouble if I wasn’t careful. Because of his desperation, Jace was dangerous. He’d already shown he could be forceful. I didn’t know how much longer he would keep taking no for an answer before deciding that he would just take what he wanted.

I’m sure he thought that once I agreed to pretend to be his girlfriend, it would have been easy to get me to sleep with him.

The fact that I wouldn’t simply give in to Jace’s crass advances was a major blow to his enormous ego. It killed him that I didn’t just fall on the floor and spread my legs wide for him like I’m sure most other girls did. His bitterness at my rejection showed in every conversation we had. All he could ever talk about was how I could sleep with my stepbrother, but I couldn’t give a nice, honest guy a chance. He didn’t seem to get the clue that by constantly bringing it up, he was being anything but a nice, honest guy.

Whatever the case, there was no way I was going to sleep with Jace Randall, no matter how hard he tried. Even if Jace were the sweetest guy on earth, I wouldn’t sleep with him. Scratch that—even if he possessed the last dick on earth, I wouldn’t sleep with him. I had a baby and Stefan to worry about. Of course, Jace didn’t know about the baby part, thank God, but that didn’t matter.

All that mattered to me was getting through the semester without someone getting hurt and then figuring out what to do with my life.

Unfortunately, that wasn’t going to be easy.



I was walking alongside Jace in the hallways of NSU’s science building to my next class, telling myself that in only a few days, it would be all over. I was ecstatic that I would be free, and if the school found that both Kappa and Alpha should be eliminated despite everyone’s efforts to conceal wrongdoing, so be it.

I glanced over at Jace, who was wearing form-fitting blue jeans that hugged his firm ass, a white t-shirt, and his NSU jacket, his hair gelled and spiked. Just looking at him made my stomach turn. I should have been flattered that one of the hottest guys on campus wanted to fuck me, but he was a major douchebag and a complete turn-off.

Besides, I had to admit to myself now that I was in love with Stefan.

Jace glanced back at me and grinned, his eyes straying down my outfit, flashing with lust.

I knew I shouldn’t have tried to look extra cute today, I thought with disgust, looking away from Jace’s crude leer. But who knows how long it'll be before I can’t fit into any of my clothing? I’m already dreading having to go up in sizes.

A size two my whole life, I wanted to dress as girly as possible before I blew up like a balloon.

So, keeping with tradition, I was wearing a black skirt and white blouse, complete with strapped heels with faux encrusted diamonds, my hair pulled up in a side ponytail. My makeup had me looking extra vivacious, with a colorful eye shadow that made my eyes pop, barely-there pink blush, and a soft lip-gloss on my lips.

Due to Jace’s lustful gazes, I kept trying to put a little distance between me and him by walking a few feet apart, but every time I did, he would casually wrap his arm around my waist and pull me back in.

The passive-aggressive move was working my last nerve, which I’m sure Jace was perfectly aware of, but I let him do it because we were supposed to be boyfriend and girlfriend.
