Alpha’s Baby(50)

Firing up my car, I pulled out of the driveway and made my way to NSU.

It was time to pay someone a little visit.



Under a full moon and a clear, starry sky, I waited behind a bush, biding my time. Back when I was in Alpha, I had jogged with Jace on several occasions late at night, so I was well aware of his routine.

I knew that he jogged by the same sorority house every weeknight around the same time. He had a couple of girls who sometimes invited him in for a workout that had nothing to do with jogging. With him distracted by potential pussy, this was a perfect time to confront him about the threatening notes and the sex tape.

Sure enough, Jace came jogging by the bush I was waiting behind, his feet lightly hitting the pavement. I waited, and as soon as he got near, I jumped out in front of him. “Surprise, motherfucker.”

Upon seeing me, Jace ran onto the opposite lawn, but he tripped several steps in. By the time I got to him, he was already on his feet, but it didn’t matter. I collided into him with a grunt, knocking him onto the lawn.

We rolled around in the grass, grunting and growling at each other. Jace managed to get several glancing blows to my right cheek and break free.

I shrugged off the blows and caught him before he could run off, knocking him face-first into the grass. I jumped on his back and grabbed ahold of his right hand, twisting it behind his back and eliciting a sharp cry of pain.

“Get the fuck off me,” Jace growled, struggling against my grip as I used my weight to hold him in place.

“No,” I snapped back.

Jace tried to maneuver his body out from under mine, but I twisted his arm again, causing him to howl out in pain.

“The fuck do you want, man?” he cried.

“I want to know why you sick fucks recorded the Sacrifice between me and Bella.”

Jace stopped struggling, trying to turn his face to look up at me. “Huh? What the hell are you talking about?”

I debated on whether I should release Jace. I didn’t want to continue struggling with him and possibly wind up in a fight on the campus lawn.

Besides, I needed to see Jace’s face when I accused him of trying to blackmail Bella and me.

I braced myself for an attack and released my hold on Jace. Jace immediately jumped to his feet and glared at me with hatred.

I returned his scowl, ready to duke it out if I had to. My face was pulsating where he had struck me, and I was itching to return the favor, knowing that I’d probably have several bruises by the next morning.

“The video you sent me,” I replied. “What are you going to do with it if we don’t do what you want?”

Jace’s features twisted into a confused glower. “The fuck are you talking about, Livingston? What video?”

I studied Jace for a moment, noticing his expression and body language. As far as I could tell, he appeared to be telling the truth, though I knew better than to trust him.

Taking a deep breath, I quickly told him about the video and the subsequent note.

Jace was shaking his head as I finished my tale. “I don’t know if Alpha Gamma records Sacrifices, but I can assure you I had nothing to do with any video, nor did I know anything about it.” He laughed. “But when I think about it, I wish I had done it. Then I could totally humiliate you and your brother-loving sister.”

I clenched my teeth and resisted the urge to pound Jace’s face into the ground. It wouldn’t be helpful right now.

Jace continued. “Still, you're a dick for assuming it was me. I’d much rather duke it out in a fair fight than humiliate you. These pussy ambushes you keep doing are getting old. First, getting your sister to bite my hand, and now, stalking me at night during a jog. What’s next?”

I ignored his attempt to piss me off and make me lose control. “I know that they record the hazing ceremonies. You showed me a few of those tapes yourself. You know where they moved those videos?”

“No, I don’t. Todd would know about it more than me, though. But, even if I did know, what makes you think I’d tell you anything after how you betrayed our fraternity?”

I snorted. “I didn’t betray shit.”

“Yeah, you did. It’s because of you that we and Kappa are under investigation.”

“You mean because you couldn’t treat Bella like she was deserving of respect? I mean, you’re lucky to be alive after what you tried to do to her.”

“Oh, yeah? And what did I ‘try’ to do to her?”

“Don’t try to play stupid. You know damn well on the day we left that you were trying to take her back to your place so that you could have your way with her.”

Just thinking about it made my blood boil, and it was very difficult not to rush Jace and kick his ass again. I knew if I didn’t leave his presence soon, that’s exactly what would happen.
